Ancient Apothecary Essentials Turmeric Essential Oil - antioxidant-filled experience!

Turmeric has long been revered by Ayurvedic and Chinese herbalists alike to purify the body and to promote a thriving system. Presently, the disciplines of naturopathy and Ayurveda often recommend using turmeric to support a healthy immune system and to support healthy skin and aging.

The yellow or orange pigment of turmeric, called curcumin, is considered a primary driver of the health benefits of turmeric because it is able to neutralize free radicals, which is partially responsible for its myriad benefits.

Turmeric oil, however, also contains turmerones, which are the major constituent of turmeric rhizome essential oils, and can be present in and constitute as high as over 60 percent in turmeric essential oil.

Turmerones are also bioactive molecules in turmeric which benefit health, including liver support, cellular health and normal function, while providing potent antioxidants.

Curcumin and turmerones are not the same, but they both offer health-promoting benefits to the body, and can even be synergistic. For example, some studies point out that a high content of turmerones - such as what's found in turmeric essential oil- can boost curcumin absorption and significantly increase the amount of curcumin inside the cell.

Turmeric oil blends well with clary sage, ginger and ylang ylang.
