Turmeric pure organic essential oil

Important Information

This ancient spice has strong roots within Ayurvedic wellness practices, a medicinal system that relies on potent plant extracts and nutrients found within nature to restore whole-body health and balance. From being able to support a healthy inflammatory response to being an everyday mood balancer, turmeric benefits encompass inner and outer health. Turmeric is also a powerful antioxidant, which allows it to fight free radical scavengers that can accelerate cellular aging. In recent years, there has been a bounty of scientific research supporting its healthy inflammatory response benefits, which in turn has made it a popular ingredient in healthy aging and skincare regimens.

 

Read below to explore turmeric – one of the healthiest and most celebrated spices on earth.

 

Hidden deep in the turmeric plant’s bright yellow roots are a family of extraordinarily powerful compounds called curcuminoids that have the unique ability to block an enzyme that causes inflammation and combat free radical damage body wide including vital organs like your heart and brain. The clinical studies on this herb use turmeric extracts that most commonly contain dosages of 1 gram (1,000 mg) per day.  Although turmeric is not fully absorbed into the bloodstream from the digestive tract, therefore it becomes highly assisted by transdermal application.

8 Scientifically Proven Health Benefits of Turmeric

 

TURMERIC HEALTH BENEFIT #1

Supports Healthy Inflammatory Response 

Turmeric is perhaps the strongest, natural nutrient on earth that supports a healthy inflammatory response. Research reveals this powerhouse compound can offer protection at the molecular level.

TURMERIC HEALTH BENEFIT #2

Cellular Healthy Aging Antioxidant 

You are as young as the health of your cells. While it’s natural for the trillions of cells in your body to age over your lifetime, science shows your lifestyle and the environment contribute to how quickly the evolution occurs. This is why antioxidants are vital for protecting your cellular health. The potent anti-oxidative compound properties of turmeric help to neutralize free radicals and beef-up the body’s cellular defenses.

TURMERIC HEALTH BENEFIT #3

Strengthening Cardiovascular Health

Extensive research has shown that elevated levels of an inflammation marker called C-reactive protein (CRP) is a strong indicator of long-term cardiovascular risk. Breakthrough new research now shows that turmeric can lower levels of CRP by an amazing 32%. Another recent clinical study showed that turmeric can also support healthy triglyceride levels, another major cardiovascular risk factor.

TURMERIC HEALTH BENEFIT #4

Protecting Against Cognitive Decline

A recent landmark study found that turmeric promotes the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a growth hormone responsible for youthful brain function.  According to scientists, higher BDNF levels may hold the key to improved memory and sharper thinking as you age. What’s more, a recent study found that daily turmeric intake produced short-term memory improvements in adults over 60 who were predisposed to memory loss. It worked like a six-hour memory boost!

TURMERIC HEALTH BENEFIT #5

Helping to Balance Blood Sugar 

If the body is overwhelmed with refined sugar, free radicals called advanced glycation end products (AGEs) form by attaching to and damaging structural proteins, such as collagen and elastin. This explains why eating too much sugar can lead to premature skin aging. Scientific research shows that turmeric can help balance glucose levels by binding to sugar and reducing the amount of glucose in the bloodstream.

TURMERIC HEALTH BENEFIT #6

Support for Occasional Pain due to Overexertion

In a landmark study, turmeric was shown to support occasional pain due to overexertion as effectively as a popular pain reliever while reducing stiffness and improving overall joint function—all without side effects.

TURMERIC HEALTH BENEFIT #7

Eases Digestive Discomfort

Scientific studies show that turmeric’s anti-inflammatory benefits can aid in promoting healthy digestion as well.

TURMERIC HEALTH BENEFIT #8

Brighter, Healthier Skin

Turmeric has been shown to inhibit a key enzyme that can reduce elastin formation in the body.  Elastin, in tandem with collagen, is skin’s main structural protein responsible for smooth, plump, supple skin. Clinical studies show that turmeric’s antimicrobial effects can improve acne on the face, back and chest.  Additionally, a 150-person study was conducted to test the effects of curcumin on eczema, revealing clinical improvement in their condition.

There is great hope and enthusiasm that turmeric pure essential oil may now be an answer to keeping the promise of this wonderful herb. As an essential oil it absorbs direct through the skin into the bloodstream.  This of course is a magnificent bonus for the use of turmeric in therapeutic treatment of skin issues. It’s a great way to boost your skin’s health, beauty, and glow.

 

All of this information and more can be found in great detail on the National Library of Medicine website.

As for relative comparison of strength between Turmeric essential oil and powdered Turmeric for oral consumption studies are still being conducted.  What has been posted on the National Library of Medicine is that an entire rhizome would yield about 3-6% of its weight in essential oil, meaning there are a lot of rhizomes in an ounce of essential oil.

 

There are no known side effects of turmeric.  However pure essential oil is potent.  So we recommend testing a little spot on your skin for sensitivity.  Also, to get the widest coverage on your skin it should be used with carrier oil.  The very best carrier oil for therapeutic results is MCT oil distilled from Virgin coconut oil.  This is the only carrier oil that is fully and quickly absorbed by the skin. Therefore it will not block or inhibit the absorption of turmeric.
