I want to tell you about some great essential oils from a wonderful company, Natural Acres. The first is Turmeric Essential Oils - this oil - comes in a amber colored bottle with a dropper. Now there are many medicinal uses for Turmeric - amongst them is an anti inflammatory.
Studies have shown turmeric’s ability to reduces pain, inflammation and stiffness related to
rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
Turmeric essential oil is considered to be a strong relaxant and balancer, and studies have shown that it can help fight against two extremely common mood disorders, depression and anxiety. As an effective
essential oil for anxiety and depression, it can improve mood and positive feelings
Turmeric essential oil’s anti-inflammatory ability can really come in handy for the nasal congestion that typically accompanies the common cold. Simply add a few drops of turmeric oil to a diffuser or bowl of hot water and inhale the vapors to quickly get rid of that stuffy nose. Inhaling turmeric essential oil also fights the germs that caused your cold in the first place.
If you’re making homemade
aromatherapy products, turmeric essential oil blends nicely with ginger, cinnamon, blood orange, grapefruit, ylang ylang, vanilla and cardamom essential oils.
- For stress relief and aromatherapy, diffuse or inhale 2–3 drops of turmeric essential oil.
- For external use, including inflammation and pain relief, create a massage oil by diluting 5 drops of turmeric essential oil with 5 drops of a carrier oil (like jojoba or coconut oil) and apply it to areas of concern.
One negative turmeric side effect is its ability to stain clothes and skin, whether you use the spice or the oil. Turmeric essential oil is yellow just like the spice and can easily and permanently dye your clothing. It can also temporarily leave your skin looking yellow. It might take a few washings, but the color will leave your skin. Wiping the stained area with coconut oil or lemon juice can help remove any skin staining more quickly.
Turmeric essential oil, like many other essential oils, also can make your skin more sensitive to UV light so use caution
As for what I use the turmeric for - I just put a couple of drops on my husband shoulders and his hip and rub it in - thankfully he doesn't have sensitive skin - so it didn't burn him - and rub it right in!
You can add the turmeric to a carrier oil - extra virgin oil, jojoba oil to use it for rubbing down!
Disclosure: I received this product for free for an honest review!
