At Notropia Wellness, we proudly partner with Holiste, the creators of the Biogemme method, a highly specialized and sustainable approach to extracting Oléorésine—known as Orésine—from maritime pine trees in the Aquitaine region of France. Holiste’s process ensures that this resin, rich in active molecules like pinenes, is of the highest quality and purity. As an official partner, Notropia Wellness is honored to offer Orésine to our clients, supporting wellness through natural oxygenation. Here’s an in-depth look at the unique production methods, quality standards, and environmental practices that make Orésine a powerful, sustainable choice.
The Biogemme Process: Sustainable and Meticulous Harvesting
Orésine begins its journey as pine resin from carefully selected maritime pine trees. The Biogemme method follows a strict, environmentally conscious approach:
- Selective Tree Selection and Tapping: Only mature trees are selected for resin tapping, ensuring a high-quality yield while preserving forest health. Holiste’s trained harvesters collect the resin using traditional techniques that respect tree growth cycles and allow trees to naturally replenish their sap.
- Ethical Harvesting Techniques: Resin is collected by gently scoring the tree bark, allowing the sap to flow slowly without damaging the tree. This slow-flow method produces resin with optimal bioactive compounds, especially rich in alpha and beta-pinenes.
This selective and gentle harvesting not only sustains the health of the pine forests but also allows the trees to continue thriving for years, creating a sustainable resin source with minimal environmental impact.
Purity, Quality, and Organic Certification
Orésine’s journey doesn’t end with harvesting. From start to finish, Holiste employs stringent quality control and organic practices to ensure every batch meets high standards.
- Organic Label Specifications: Orésine meets rigorous standards for organic certification, meaning it is entirely free from pesticides, synthetic additives, and contaminants. This commitment to purity ensures the resin remains a truly natural product with preserved bioactivity.
Colophane Content Management: Colophane, a solid component of pine resin, is carefully controlled during Orésine production to ensure an optimal balance of active compounds. This component supports the stability and consistency of the final product, maintaining its bioactive potency for effective oxygenation support.
With every step, Holiste’s Biogemme method maintains the highest standards of purity and bioactivity, ensuring Orésine is a potent, reliable source of natural oxygenation support.
Orésine Production and the Distillation Process
The resin undergoes a precise distillation process designed to capture the beneficial alpha and beta-pinenes in their most active form. This rigorous method ensures:
- High Potency of Pinenes: The distillation isolates the essential alpha and beta-pinenes, transforming them into powerful oxygen carriers. These molecules are responsible for the Bol d’air Jacquier’s oxygenating effects, catalyzing oxygenation naturally without oxidative stress.
- Controlled Quality: Holiste carefully monitors each batch, testing for potency and bioactivity. This ensures that Orésine provides consistent results, making it a reliable choice for enhancing oxygen delivery and cellular health.
The Biogemme method ensures that the natural compounds in Orésine remain stable and bioactive, ready to support oxygenation when used with the Bol d’air Jacquier.
The Environmental and Functional Benefits of Recycled Orésine
At Notropia Wellness, we are committed to environmental sustainability and product lifecycle management. In collaboration with Holiste, we offer a collection program for used Orésine, giving it a second life in various eco-friendly applications:
- Wood and Instrument Preservation: The resin’s protective qualities make it an excellent finish for wood, extending the life of wooden instruments and furniture.
- Eco-Friendly Solvent for Art Studios: Orésine can be repurposed as a solvent for painters, providing a natural alternative to chemical-based products.
By recycling Orésine, we ensure that nothing goes to waste, turning this incredible natural resource into a product that continues to benefit both people and the environment.
Why Orésine Matters for Wellness and Oxygenation
Orésine, is the only essential oil to be used with the Bol d’air Jacquier, as it serves as a powerful, natural oxygen carrier. This method is non-invasive and allows the body to actively engage in oxygenation rather than passively absorbing oxygen, as seen in other oxygenation therapies. Key benefits include:
- Improved Cellular Oxygenation: By catalyzing oxygen at the cellular level, Orésine helps optimize energy production, stress resilience, and immune function.
- Sustainable Health: With its gentle, steady oxygenation effects, Orésine is suitable for regular use and supports long-term wellness.
Orésine stands as a testament to the power of nature in promoting health, energy, and vitality.
