It is important to explore the chemistry of Hong Kuai<\/span> essential oil. It\u2019s a chemistry of a thousand years because the trees stood for 1000-3000 years before Mother Nature harvested them.<\/p>\n

Hong Kuai<\/span> is the most unique essential oil! Let\u2019s look at the chemistry today, then what the chemistry can do for you.<\/p>\n

\n

The GC-MS separation and identification of the molecules in Hong Kuai<\/span>essential oil contains Monoterpenes, Oxygenated Monoterpenes, Sesquiterpenes, and Oxygenated Sesquiterpenes. Hong Kuai<\/span> chemistry may seem normal, but it is not.<\/p>\n

Remember how the Hong Kuai<\/span> logs weather in the mountains, streams, and valleys for 50-100 years before they are pulled from the low-elevation rivers? During the weathering process the Monoterpenes are heavily reduced (about 3%). The Hong Kuai<\/span> leaves mostly contain monoterpenes.<\/p>\n

Hong Kuai<\/span> essential oil contains about 45% Oxygenated Monoterpenes. One unique molecule is nopinone, existing at about 12%. Hong Kuai<\/span> also contains 16% of trans-myrtanol and another 10% of various related oxygenated monoterpenes. These Oxygenated Monoterpenes love to \u201chang around\u201d the moist areas of our biological systems, especially the lungs.<\/p>\n

The \u201cwoody, intense, earthy\u201d aromas of Hong Kuai<\/span> come from Sesquiterpenes. Hong Kuai<\/span> essential oil contains about 50% Sesquiterpenes. Of these sesquiterpenes about 8% are Oxygenated Sesquiterpenes. Sesquiterpenes are heavier molecules that linger. Sesquiterpenes move slowly in the air around an open bottle. I tell people that \u201cSesquiterpenes are like Sumo Wrestlers\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Oxygenated Sesquiterpenes have the same \u201cheaviness\u201d of the Sesquiterpenes with the added 1 or 2 oxygen molecules. They are usually present as \u201cSesquiterpene alcohols\u201d and \u201cSesquiterpene diols\u201d. The oxygenated portion of the molecules love the moisture in our lungs.<\/p>\n

Try breathing in Hong Kuai<\/span> essential oil. Take in 5 heavy breathes of Hong Kuai<\/span> essential oil. As you walk away you will notice that you will be able to relive the Hong Kuai<\/span> aroma for more than 45 minutes as you exhale. Your lungs act as a diffuser of Hong Kuai<\/span> sesquiterpenes and oxygenated sesquiterpenes.<\/p>\n

This means Hong Kuai<\/span> essential oil is packed with biologically active molecules. That\u2019s why Hong Kuai<\/span> essential oil is one of my favorites.<\/p>\n
