E: n effect, the hot oil is useful for the good practice of several types of massages or massages. This is the case of Ayurvedic modeling, for example, a specialty that is popular in beauty salons and spas and is part of the ancient medicine of India.

The inventor does not claim to seek any medical effect whatsoever. She only wishes to respond to the search for well-being of the people who will receive the massages or massages of well-being.

We will describe below: A. The process that takes place in three stages of slow and gentle cooking. B. The components and their proportions. C. Three examples of specific preparations whose components are selected from French or Mediterranean plants adapted to our climate and to the Western clientele. The objectives of these preparations are as follows: 1. Relax, comfort and provide anti-stress action; 2. Relax, improve the appearance of the skin and the microcirculation of the veins; 3. To calm the rheumatic or muscular pains, to stimulate; A. The Process The process consists of three stages of slow and gentle cooking and a filtering step: step III: production of a plant juice that will be decocted in the oil:

A fresh plant juice is made or, alternatively, some dry plants are mixed with gel (for example, aloe) or sap (birch, for example).

The plants will be chosen according to two criteria: a) They contain saponins which promote the integration of the subsequent fatty or non-oily components, and make it possible to obtain a homogeneous final mixture; B) Other plants have specific qualities, recognized among their traditional and popular uses: they have a congruent effect with the desired objective among those we are looking for (see p.1 - lines 20 to 23).

Modus Operandi:

This juice is poured into heated oil very gently. It is decocting until complete evaporation of the water contained in the juice. The apparatus will then be allowed to cool.

2nd stage: production of fermented milk; integration into the device

The day before it is used, fermented organic milk and very creamy, according to the following recipe: The milk is first boiled. Then it is allowed to cool to a temperature of 30 ° C. A little lemon is then added and left at a gentle temperature (25> 30 ° C). - Commercial fermented milk can also be used.

Modus Operandi: The fermented milk will be poured into the apparatus resulting from the first step in the proportions indicated below (paragraph B: page 3 - line 1). The gentle cooking is resumed until complete evaporation of the water contained in the milk. The device is then allowed to cool. 3rd step: integration of powdered plants

Powdered plants will be added to the apparatus in the proportion indicated in (paragraph 13: page 3 - line 1). Cooking will be conducted carefully to avoid caramelization. The plants are chosen to meet the chosen objective for the preparation, according to the effects listed in the traditional uses. The cooking is finished when the device is ribbon between the fingers.

Final step: filtering, pressing, etc.

Several steps of filtering and pressing of the apparatus will be necessary to dissociate the oil of the plants in suspension. 10 20 40 B. The components and their proportions:

The proportions are as follows: - 1000 ml of oil - 500 ml of plant juice 500 ml of fermented milk 120 gr of plant powder

10 The components:

The oil used will be olive oil or, failing that, sesame oil:

Olive oil is about 75% oleic acid, a mono-unsaturated fatty acid, which characterizes it. It is very nourishing and the popular use advocates it to feed dehydrated skin. In addition, it promotes the recovery of venous micro-circulation.

Sesame oil contains unsaturated fatty acids (about 43% for each of the two acids: oleic and linoleic), 26% protein, vitamin A, folic acid and mineral salts including calcium and lignans. . Sesame oil is widely used in cosmetic products as an excipient. It is a very common massage oil in India.

The plants used in the first stage will be chosen from the following:

Ivy, Hedera Helix (Lino.,) Fam. Lamiaceae (ex-Araliaceae): MAIN CONSTITUENTS: The saponin content is proven because of a popular use allows to make a dishwashing product from a solution of ivy. Another component is hederin (glucoside isolated by Houdas in 1899). Nicholas Culpepper, an English botanist of the 17th century, said ivy was excellent for external use but to be discouraged in internal use (nervous system). This is also the opinion reported by Lieutaghi: the properties of ivy were cited in many times since Hippocrates then its internal use has been made suspicious. However, its external uses are encouraged by Dr. H. Leclerc.

EXTERNAL POPULAR USES: Ivy is used to reduce cellulite and relieve rheumatism. Birch sap (Betula alba, B. pendula syn, B. verrucosa, Betulaceae):

It is therefore a first aid for burns, abrasions, sunburns and mild inflammation. It is also effective in case of irradiation (these qualities were recognized in the West since the 1950s). This action is due in part to the presence of aloetin B which is immunostimulatory. The gel is also emollient: it soothes ulcers and can relieve varicose pains. Traditional and common uses mention it as a beauty product: Aloe has been used for centuries as a skin lotion. It is said that Cleopatra owed her beauty to this plant.
