The ultimate rescue remedy for ailing skin, tamanu seed oil is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibiotic, antioxidant, and antiaging. It will accelerate the healing of cuts, sores, burns, boils, acne, eczema, psoriasis, and so much more.
The ultimate rescue remedy for ailing skin and various pains, tamanu oil is produced from the kernel contained within the nut of the tamanu fruit. The tamanu tree (Calophyllum inophyllum) is indigenous to tropical Southeast Asia, where it grows wild both on the coast and inland. In order to release the precious oils contained within, the kernel must be left to dry in the sun for about a month or two, where it will then become covered with a rich, dark, and very sticky oil. From that point, the kernel can be cold-pressed to extract the luxurious and fragrant greenish-colored oil of tamanu. The oil contains about 30% omega‑6 (linoleic acid) and approximately 40% omega‑9 (oleic acid), as well as stearic acid and palmitic acid.
Tamanu oil has many varied uses and is a remarkable topical healing agent to a broad range of skin conditions. The indigenous peoples of Southeast Asia have used this sacred oil for centuries. It heals cuts, bites, stings, wounds, severe burns, and any skin-related ailment; has an analgesic effect; and relieves joint/muscle pain, sprains, sciatica, arthritis and rheumatism. Tamanu oil can even be applied on the neck to relieve and soothe a sore throat.
Anti-inflammatory as well as a powerful antibacterial and antifungal, tamanu oil has proven efficient towards clearing and healing the body of numerous pathogens, e.g. athlete’s foot, ringworm, abscesses, infected nails, wounds, and the list goes on… Promoting the formation of new tissue, thus optimizing wound healing and the growth of healthy skin, its regenerative properties are impressive towards the cicatrization and attenuation of scars, stretch marks, and blemishes. Highly antioxidant, it will support your skin by slowing down the hands of time and keeping it plump, smooth, and youthful.
Tamanu truly is a precious gem in the family of natural oils. If you look closely, you will notice it exhibits delicate shiny microcrystals: no wonder it possesses so many beautifying qualities!
