The aroma of styrax, when incised in a bahurnitsa, helps to cleanse the aura at all levels from alien negative influence. Oil concentrate Resins are best added in approximately equal proportions, at least by eye. Also, before preparing the oil concentrate, it is better to crush the resin by hand. Do not use electrical appliances, the resin melts, and besides, this method deprives you of the pleasure of preparing a real oriental beauty elixir and many of its magical aspects. Use your own energy to charge the resin with the goals you would like to achieve! We also recommend using olive oil or sesame oil for boiling. And after complete cooling, add this concentrate to any other oils that you want to see in your care. For example, for the face it can be one selection of the composition of oils or any cream, for the body another, for the hair in general a unique composition. You will find the widest selection of oils in the sections Base and Auxiliary oils. Also, resin oil concentrate can be added to animal fats. In the Animal fats section, emu fat, king cobra fat, mink fat are extremely interesting. As for the boiling time of resins. This time should not be less than 20-30 minutes, in which case you will receive the initial concentrate. Boiling from 1 hour will give an average saturation solution. Longer 1.5-2 hours - the most saturated. The boiling time of resins can vary from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, and depending on the type of resin, different types dissolve at different intervals, on the degree of drying of the resin, and even on the time of its collection. When boiling oil, keep in mind that the fire should not be large, it should be small and the preparation of the concentrate takes place as if the process of constant heating of the composition in order to release unique substances from the structure of the resin. Also, do not allow direct boiling and gurgling of the resin. You should be prepared for the fact that during the cooking process you need to periodically stir your solution on the stove 2-3 times in 10 minutes. Stir to evenly distribute the resin along the bottom and activate it to release substances from the composition. Choose a wooden spatula for stirring. Next, you will most likely want to strain the composition after it has cooled. Do this 2-3 times to get the purest concentrate possible. You don't have to strain it if you'd like to come into contact with the living particles of the tiny clumps of resin in any of your grooming routines. The resin will not completely melt, and these particles adhere to the composition of a homemade body scrub or grind the particles to apply on the face. Also, these particles can be saved and added to the next batch of resins that you will prepare next time. Aqueous Concentrate At home, it will be difficult for you to add hydrolate to the oil, in any case you will get a layer that will need to be shaken. If you want to use hydrolate in care together with resins, then boil the resins in hydrolate and use this solution as a separate healing composition. Boiling is carried out from 15 to 40 minutes; it makes sense to prepare a more saturated solution for medicinal applications. In the case of application in the form of a tonic, a slight boil is sufficient. The rules of procedure are the same as with oil.
