the petals are immersed in a container with animal fats or vegetable oils, kept for a certain time in a water bath or in the sun, then filtered. The resulting thick lipstick is washed several times in alcohol until the fat is completely eliminated.
Slide 18
Enfleurage without heating
The petals are laid out on the surface of the fat distributed on a glass plate in a wooden frame, 40 - 60 cm high. The flowers, still alive, remain there for a certain time, and then change to a fresh batch until the fat is most saturated with aroma. After the fat is washed with alcohol, separated from the raw materials and evaporated to obtain the so-called "absolute" lipstick.

One feature of the manifestation and impact of stress is that it occurs more often in women than in men, but women cope with it more easily and adapt more quickly to its effects.

VITAMINS
Vitamins Low molecular weight organic compounds of various chemical nature, necessary for the implementation of the most important processes occurring in a living organism.
Vitamins are organic substances that enter human and animal organisms with food or are synthesized by them, necessary for normal metabolism. Vitamins were discovered by N. I. Lunin in 1880. The first to isolate the vitamin in crystalline form was the Polish scientist Casimir Funk in 1911. A year later, he also came up with the name - from the Latin "vita" - "life". About 50 types of vitamins are now known. In the body, they, as a rule, are not deposited, and their excess is excreted by the excretory organs. Most vitamins are found in plant foods, but some are found only in animal products. With a lack of vitamins in food, diseases develop in the body - hypoavitaminosis.
Alas, many older people experience significant hypovitaminosis. The reason is not only in the meager and unbalanced diet of their diet, but also in the natural wear and tear of the body's enzyme systems, due to which the absorption of useful components from food worsens. Vitamin deficiency is also aggravated due to diseases (primarily diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidneys), as well as drugs (especially antibiotics), diets, surgical interventions and, of course, stress and poor ecology.
VITAMIN A RETINOL Essential for normal growth and development of epithelial tissue. Included in the visual pigment rhodopsin. With a deficiency - the disease night blindness (impaired twilight vision). Contained: in milk, fish, eggs, butter, carrots, parsley, apricots.

Hypervitaminosis Hypervitaminosis occurs when there is an excess intake of vitamins. It manifests itself in the form of intoxication (poisoning) of the body. Excessive doses of fat-soluble vitamins have a more toxic effect, as they accumulate in the body. Hypervitaminosis is very often observed in people who are engaged in bodybuilding - bodybuilding and often use nutritional supplements and vitamins without measure.

Fadeeva Natalia Head: Petrova S.V Volsk
Age and vitamins
The value of vitamins: Vitamins are biologically active substances, without which the normal functioning of the body is unthinkable. They contribute to the proper metabolism, increase efficiency, endurance, resistance to infections. Lack or lack of vitamins in food can lead to severe disorders of the body, which are now rare. More often you can observe a decrease in the provision of the body with various vitamins (hypovitaminosis). Hypovitaminosis are seasonal in nature, observed most often in winter and spring, and are characterized by increased fatigue, reduced ability to work, reduced resistance to various colds. Vitamins in the body are catalysts (accelerators) for the action of enzymes and hormones. Thus, B vitamins form the active center of many enzymes and coenzymes. In the absence or deficiency of certain vitamins in food, hypovitaminosis occurs.
The age of the diet of an elderly person, which is quite sufficient to replenish his moderate energy expenditure, cannot provide the body with the necessary amount of vitamins and minerals, the need for which not only has not decreased, but, given their protective role under stress and the impact of environmentally unfavorable factors, has increased significantly
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant. It plays an important role in the regulation of redox processes, is involved in the synthesis of collagen and procollagen, the metabolism of folic acid and iron, as well as the synthesis of steroid hormones and catecholamines.
Vitamin A (retinol) Vitamin A is involved in redox processes, regulation of protein synthesis, contributes to normal metabolism, the function of cell and subcellular membranes, plays an important role in the formation of bones and teeth, as well as body fat; necessary for the growth of new cells, slows down the aging process.
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) Vitamin B1 is necessary for the oxidative decarboxylation of keto acids (pyruvic and lactic), the synthesis of acetylcholine, it is involved in carbohydrate metabolism and related energy, fat, protein, water-salt metabolism, has a regulatory effect on trophism and the activity of the nervous system. systems.
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) Riboflavin is essential for the formation of red blood cells and antibodies, for cell respiration and growth. It facilitates the absorption of oxygen by the cells of the skin, nails and hair. Vitamin B2 intensifies metabolic processes in the body, participating in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
Vitamin D (calciferols) The main function of vitamin D is to ensure the normal growth and development of bones, the prevention of rickets and osteoporosis. It regulates mineral metabolism and promotes the deposition of calcium in bone tissue and dentin, thus preventing osteomalacia (softening) of the bones.
Vitamin E (tocopherol acetate) Vitamin E improves blood circulation, is necessary for tissue regeneration, is useful in premenstrual syndrome and the treatment of fibrotic breast disease. It ensures normal blood clotting and healing; reduces the possibility of scarring from certain wounds; lowers blood pressure; contributes to the prevention of cataracts; improves athletic performance; relieves leg cramps; supports the health of nerves and muscles; strengthening the walls of capillaries; prevents anemia.
Vitamin P (bioflavonoids, including citrus fruits) Rutin, hesperidin, quercetin as part of vitamin P have a capillary-strengthening property: they normalize and maintain the structure, elasticity, function and permeability of blood vessels, prevent their sclerotic lesions, promote vasodilation and maintain normal blood pressure; relieve swelling, improve blood circulation, preventing the development of varicose veins.
Loss is the deprivation or lack of something that a person had and appreciated. Grief is the emotional suffering caused by loss.
David Peretz considers 4 main categories of loss: the loss of a significant loved or valued person; loss of a part of oneself; loss of external objects; development loss.
The state of grief and loss is not an official medical diagnosis, however, if it lasts more than one year, then a complicated variant of the loss reaction may develop. It is characterized by the fact that the grief reaction intensifies, affecting all areas of the sufferer's life: close relationships, violates beliefs and, most often, leads to a bitter experience of loss of meaning and a constant desire for a deceased loved one.
People who lose loved ones unexpectedly to violent causes are at higher risk of developing major depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or complicated grief. Major depression is a psychiatric disorder characterized by persistent depression and/or irritability that lasts for two consecutive weeks and is accompanied by a number of other symptoms, such as: sleep disturbances, decreased appetite, weight changes, impaired concentration.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, MD, has developed a model for understanding grief, which is described in her book On Death and Dying. She identified five stages of grief: denial, anger, deal, depression, acceptance.
1. Denial and shock. The person denies the inevitability of this loss.
2. Anger and irritation. A person is tormented by questions about why exactly he had this loss, and experiences resentment and indignation.
3 . Bargain. Man tries to delay the inevitable by resorting to magical thinking.
4. Depression and incipient acceptance. A period of helplessness, after which the person realizes that the loss is indeed inevitable.
5 . Adoption. It marks a turning point on the way to developing a more positive attitude towards loss. Death is seen as the completion of obligations to life.
Diagnosis is done by a specialist to assess what symptoms a person is suffering from, then consider whether they are suffering from normal grief, complicated grief, or any other problems. The practitioner may also attempt to determine which stages of grief the patient is experiencing and which stage predominantly determines how he or she feels at the time of the assessment.
One approach to grief treatment is the dual process model, which views the mourning process as a dynamic struggle between the pain of the death of a loved one (loss orientation) and recovery (recovery orientation). This treatment model recommends that bereaved individuals alternate direct work over loss (confrontation) and interruption (avoidance) of this process when needed.
Pain is an unpleasant sensation and emotional experience that is associated with actual or potential damage to body tissues. Distinguish between: Superficial pain Deep pain Pain internal organs Neuralgia Radiating pain Phantom pain Psychological pain
It is possible to exacerbate pain with insomnia, fatigue, fear, sadness, social abandonment. Pain tolerance increases good mood, relaxation, creativity, and empathy for others.
In our unstable time, when we get so used to stressful situations that we don’t even pay attention to the state of our nerves, we need to balance negative emotions at the initial stage more than ever, so that after a while the anxiety and nervousness do not turn into depressive states. Aromatherapy offers excellent remedies for these problems. She uses soothing and invigorating essential oils that offer a compelling alternative to antidepressants and other chemical treatments. These oils can relieve nervous tension and stimulate the brain at the same time, helping to restore inner balance and self-control. Therefore, with constant psychological stress and nervous fatigue, it is recommended to use soothing and invigorating essential oils (basil, bergamot, geranium, lavender, sandalwood).

The accumulation of essential oils is influenced by: climate, light, soil, age, type of fertilizer, development phase, etc. Essential oils accumulate in plants in various places: leaves, flowers, fruits, roots... Smells are the most powerful signals, catching which the brain gives us access to the very bowels of our memory. Other experiences and states only they, smells, can fish out from these depths. More than the other four of our five senses. Sounds romantic, but it's pure scientific fact. The use of essential oils as fragrances has a long history. The name of this group of substances was given in the 18th century, when their chemical composition nothing was known yet.
