Essential oils extracted with CO2 have the properties of essential oils but have different nuances of aroma. They are extracted using carbon dioxide CO2, under pressure. In normal atmospheric conditions, CO2 is a gas, but when it is at high pressures it is compressed, until it has the density of a liquid, and becomes Supercritical Carbon Dioxide, being in an intermediate state between gas and liquid, being neither. of the two. It is in this supercritical phase that CO2 becomes a solvent to extract the essential oils contained in the plants. Once extracted and when the pressure decreases, the CO2 returns to its gas state, dissipating completely, leaving the extracted oil very pure and clean. It is the cleanest technique and achieves the best quality essential oils possible.

The Kadam flower is widely distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical areas of the world. It is used by Hindu culture for centuries, since it is considered the flower that represents the Goddess Durga, in addition to being the emblem of the ancient Indian principality of Athmallik, in force when the British colony was in India.

In studies carried out in mice (PudMed Study: 22238487), the beneficial effects of reducing blood glucose were demonstrated by administering Kadam leaf extract to mice when they had very high blood glucose levels, and verifying how these levels were reduced significantly.

In studies carried out, it has been discovered that both the leaves and the bark have analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties for pain relief.
