Hello!

This is Dr. Lee Moon Won,
a doctor of traditional medicine who helps you to make super hair.

2020 flew by very quickly, and now the spring of 2021 has arrived.

And from March to April, I am always busy.

At this time, plum flowers, camellia flowers, lindera obtusiloba,
cherry blossoms, and bleeding-heart flowers all bloom at once, 

so about two weeks, I get really busy picking up the flowers and make the extract I want.

If we skip this time, we have to wait until next year,
so have to strain ourselves.

Also, I finally finished extracting the lindera obtusiloba.

I used to extract plum, camellia, corn, and cherry flowers every spring,
but I always wanted to try the lindera obtusiloba as well.

But I discovered a field with a lindera obtusiloba and,
with the permission of the owner of the land,
I was finally able to obtain an extract
of the flowers of a lindera obtusiloba this year.

Flowers and leaves of lindera obtusiloba smell of ginger.

It does not have a strong smell but more the faint smell of ginger.
Especially the flowers of lindera obtusiloba have a very pleasant scent
of refreshing ginger.

Lindera obtusiloba flowers promote collagen synthesis,
have antioxidant effects, and excellent antibacterial properties.
It has a pleasant scent, which is why I always look forward to spring.

Collagen is strongly associated with hair loss.
The more collagen in the scalp tissue breaks down, the harder and thinner the scalp becomes, and the hair easily falls out and weakens.
Thus, it is important to prevent collagen from shrinking and to make sure it is synthesized well.

There are experimental results showing the ability
of the lindera obtusiloba extract to synthesize collagen.
The higher the concentration of the lindera obtusiloba extract,
the higher the rate of procollagen synthesis.

In addition, scalp inflammation causes symptoms such as gray hair,
hair loss, scalp odor, and dandruff.
And lindera obtusiloba flower can prevent or reduce inflammation.

So we can say that this flower is useful for creating super scalp and super hair.

We also want to tell the results of an experiment
on how strong the antibacterial effect of the extract of lindera obtusiloba
has on bacteria in the skin that cause folliculitis and acne.

According to the results, the higher the concentration
of the lindera obtusiloba extract, the higher the antibacterial effect.

Lindera obtusiloba fruit oil has been beneficial for hair care.
It is a popular hair care oil with a history as long as camellia oil.

If camellia oil was used in the southern regions,
then lindera obtusiloba oil was used in the central and northern regions.

This regional division is due to the fact that camellias
grew only in the southern regions.

However, in Gangwon-do, lindera obtusiloba flower was called the camellia flower,
so in this region, lindera obtusiloba oil also called camellia oil.

In Gim Yujeong's popular novel, The Camellias, there are lines: “...
a blossom of the yellow camellia flower.”
Here, the yellow camellia flower is the lindera obtusiloba flower. 

Since lindera obtusiloba is also called camellia when it comes to hair oil,
it can be easy to get confused about which "camellia" we are talking about.

If classified correctly, there are 2 different oils, camellia oil, and lindera obtusiloba oil.

However, these days it is very difficult to find lindera obtusiloba oil.

So, I will look around for places where it would be possible
to find lindera obtusiloba oil in winter. 

I am very curious about the texture and smell of this oil.

We will continue to search for Korean natural ingredients
and apply them in hair and scalp products or treatments.
