Akim Joseph — Sat, 20 Jun 2020 17:10:03 +0000

This beautiful opalescent cold pressed green, slightly waxy oil is rich and thick, with a delicate nutty or spicy smell. It stimulates cell regeneration and is good for fragile or broken capillaries.
Tamanu is a traditional medicine in the So. Pacific, where it is used for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory and cicatrizant properties. Foraha has been used to treat leprosy. It helps wounds to heal and is soothing for eczema and skin irritations such as burns, rashes and insect bites.
It is used as an aid for relieving pain, healing wounds, herpes lesions and post-surgical scars. A combination of tamanu and Ravensara essential oil has been used successfully as a treatment for shingles. Rarely used as a carrier oil due to its quite thick consistency, but may be part of a blend with other carrier oils.
It?s highly recommended as a facial oil, either alone or with essential oils added. Since this is a rather thick oil, you should always stir well before using to allow any matter which may have settled at the bottom of the container to become well mixed once again.

The berries grow on a small deciduous tree with small branchlets. In its native India, the amla tree has been worshipped as Mother Nature because it has numerous internal and external applications within traditional Ayurvedic practices.

Amla Oil has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine for its wide range of beneficial applications. The oil is especially well embraced for its remarkable ability to nourish and promote healthy hair and scalp.
Our Amla Oil is meticulously produced using a multi-step process that incorporates the nutritive benefits of expeller pressed amla seed oil with the benefits of amla fruit macerated/extracted into sesame seed oil. To begin the process, amla fruit is crushed and is then boiled to release the natural fruit oils. The infusion is then reduced under vacuum pressure.

The resulting expeller pressed seed oil is collected and added to the sesame oil extract to produce the final Amla Oil.
