Indlela yokukhupha i-Woad: i-pigment eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka yendalo yokudaya kunye nokwenza isepha

Inkqubo epheleleyo yendlela yokukhupha i-woad kumagqabi amatsha e-Isatis tinctoria. I-Woad yi-pigment eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka onokuyisebenzisa ekudayeni ifayibha kunye nokwenza isepha

Isuka kumathambeka akumbindi weAsia, iWoad, ekwabizwa ngegama lesiLatini elithi Isatis Tinctoria, ilinywe kulo lonke ilizwe. IYurophu kunye neMeditera iminyaka eyinkulungwane . Nangona imbewu yayo ifunyenwe kwiindawo ze-Neolithic zaseFransi, ubungqina bokuqala bokuba isetyenziswe ekudayeni ilaphu ivela eYiputa yamandulo. Ubungqina bamva bedayi ye-Woad buvela kwimithombo yamaRoma, iViking, kunye neMedieval kunye neendawo.

Eli phepha lisenokuba nekhonkco elidityanisiweyo . NjengoMdibaniso weAmazon ndifumana umvuzo ngokuthenga okufanelekileyo.

Ukuba ndikhe ndadibana nabani na ongaqhelananga nesi sityalo ndiye ndibathumele kwiBraveheart esele ibonwe ngumntu wonke. Nje ukuba ndikhankanye uMel Gibson ukupeyinta ubuso bakhe obuluhlaza kudla ngokujika iswitshi kubantu, nangona kukho ingxoxo malunga nokuba amaBritane akhe asebenzisa iWoad ngale njongo. Ndisebenzisa uboya ( kunye ne-indigo! ) ekwenzeni isepha kwaye ndinomdla wokuba itsalwa njani na emagqabini. Le yindlela endiyikhuphe ngayo i-woad pigment kumagqabi e-woad endiwakhule egadini.

Ukufaka amagqabi e-woad emanzini malunga nama-80 degrees Celcius

Kunzima ukukholelwa ukuba la magqabi aluhlaza ngokucacileyo aqulethe ibala eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kwaye ndiyazibuza ukuba abantu bokuqala bayifumene njani. Uninzi lwezinto esizifumeneyo ezidlulileyo zibonakala ngathi zenzeke ngengozi ngoko ke andithandabuzi ukuba kwakunjalo nakuWoad. Nangona kunjalo, kukho amanyathelo ambalwa kwinkqubo yokutsalwa endenza ndizibuze ukuba umntu emhlabeni unokukhubeka njani kuwo.

Ukukhupha i-Woad kufuneka uqale ngokugalela amagqabi kumanzi aphantse abilayo – kukhethwa amanzi athambileyo afana namanzi emvula. Emva kwemizuzu elishumi amagqabi ayasuswa aze acudiswe nayiphi na ijusi phambi kokuba ilahlwe kwingqumba yomgquba. Ulwelo olubangelwayo luyahluzwa kwaye emva koko i-soda ash yongezwa eqala inkqubo yokukhutshwa. I-soda ash luhlobo lwe-carbonic acid olunokuthi luthathwe eluthuthwini lweentlobo ezahlukeneyo zezityalo - lisetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo njengento yokuthambisa amanzi. Ngenkqubo ye-aeration, ukuhlalisa, ukuhlanjululwa, ukuhluza, kunye nokomisa ushiywe nge-pigment yendalo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka enokugcinwa kwaye isetyenziswe ngokungenasiphelo. Ngolwazi oluthe vetshe ngenkqubo nceda undwendwele woad.org.co.uk .

Ukuvumela i-pigment ukuba ihlale kulwelo

Kutshanje ndiye ndadibana nabantu abambalwa abaye bandibuza malunga nokusetyenziswa kwe-woad kwi-skincare kunye nokuba ikhuselekile. Impendulo yam kukuba i-Woad iyimveliso yendalo engekho yingozi ekhuselekile ngokupheleleyo ukuphatha nokusebenzisa ngaphandle. Ngapha koko, usokhemisti owenze uvavanyo lokhuseleko kwiimveliso zam uyandivumela ukuba ndisebenzise ngaphezulu kweshumi lemali equlathwe yisepha yam.

Woad nayo ingaba ithathwe ngaphakathi , nangona andizange ndiyizame ngokwam. Isetyenziswa kumayeza amayeza aseYurophu naseTshayina ubuncinci iminyaka engamawaka amabini, iikhompawundi kwi-Woad kuthiwa zilwa neentlobo ezithile zomhlaza kunye nezifo ezichasene nokudumba. Izifundo zabantu ezivela eTshayina zikwabonise ukuba i-Woad ine-antimicrobial, i-antibacterial, i-antiviral, kunye neempawu ze-antiparasite. [ 1 ]

Kukho ulwazi olungeyonyani kwi-intanethi malunga nokuba i-Woad iya kulungcolisa na ulusu lwakho. Ndingawuthelekelela umsebenzi wokutsalwa kolu qikelelo: Ekubeni iWood isetyenziselwa ukudaya ilaphu ngaba ayizukufaka umbala kuyo nayiphi na enye into edibana nayo? Ndingathanda ukukuqinisekisa ukuba iWoad njengomgubo webala imbala kuphela isepha. Isebenza ngendlela efanayo njengee-mineral pigments kwaye ixhoma njengeegranule ezincinci zinika inkohliso yokudaya isepha. Ukusebenzisa i-woad njengedayi, iikhemikhali ezongezelelweyo ezifana ne-Alum kunye ne-Spectralite ziyafuneka ukuze ziyenze 'ilungise' ilaphu okanye uboya.

Enye inqaku elilungileyo le-woad kukuba iphula ngokulula ngakumbi kwaye ngokwemvelo kunee-oxides zentengiso. Le propati yenza le mveliso ibe yinto enokuchaphazeleka ngakumbi kokusingqongileyo kwimicas, ii-oxides, kunye nezinye iiarhente zombala zesepha ezenziwe elabhoratri.

Ngamafutshane, i-Woad ikhuselekile, ayinakungcolisa ulusu lwakho, kwaye ithandeka kwaye iyinyani yombala wendalo ongasetyenziswa kuyo. ukwenza isepha eyenziwe ngomthi . Ndiyakonwabela ukuyisebenzisa kwaye ndiyikhulise egadini yam kwaye ndingakhuthaza nabani na ongomnye onomdla kuWoad ukuba azame naye.
