Another advantage is the environment. "The exceptionally rich and diverse terroirs of this island do not face pollution as in industrialised countries", remarked cardiologist [[Lionel Michat]], whose Malagasy essential oils are sold in Europe under the '''''Les Aromagies''''' brand. And producers do not use chemical fertilisers either. These factors ensure the properties of plants to be 100% natural.
The care given to the cultivation of the plants also accounts for in Madagascar cannot be compared with manyother countries. Whilst elsewhere trees of a single species are aligned in a field, in Madagascar we keep a wild environment is kept where ravintsara grows next to [[eucalyptus globulus]] but also next to plants and non-aromatic trees.
'''The essential oils of Homeopharma'''
This wild environment guarantees the quality of the soil and according to Jean Claude Ratsimivony, CEO of Homeopharma, our essential oils are tested and guaranteed in our laboratory is aware to be of the high quality of the essential oils.
OtherwiseWithout the wild environment, you lose the synergy between specieswould be lost. But plants Plants need to breathe and to sense. We must have to listen to Jean Claude, this the humble grandson of a medical doctor, depositary of remedies collected by his grandfather from healers, who will tell you about the plants, of their sensitivity, their stress before a hurricane. Resting time, which allows the plant plants to regenerate between pickings, is also respected. It can reach up to four years depending on the species! Harvesting of plant organs is done in jute or cotton bags to prevent maceration. Partial drying is necessary in case of rain in order to reduce the amount of water contained in the plant. And then if so, we will only dry one type of plant at a time, to avoid contamination and to ensure the right balance of chemical properties.
In short, the plants are treated at the level of treasure they are. And it is not finished! Distillation over a wood fire, most of the time, is the other value added to Malagasy essential oils. In other countries it is done with regular gas heat.
