Turmeric Essential Oil

Curcuma longa

Plant and Oil Description

Harvested for its rhizomes, a plan stem that grows underground, turmeric has been used in traditional medicines for thousands of years. Modern medicine can now explain the compound in turmeric called curcumin, which is attributed to many benefits shown in ancient Ayurveda and Chinese medicines. Turmeric was also traditionally used to dye the robes of Hindu and Buddhist monks and priests, and was known as “Indian saffron” in Medieval Europe.

What’s it Good For?

1. Anti-aging skin care – Free radicals cause oxidative damage which causes premature aging and many diseases due to the damage to essential fatty acids, proteins, and DNA. The chemical structure of curcumin allows it to neutralize free radicals while also acting as a catalyst for the production of the body’s antioxidant enzymes. Add SenseLAB’s turmeric oil to a face moisturizer or carrier oil to protect skin from oxidative stress and keep it looking youthful and healthy.
2. Pain relief – Curcumin is a powerful anti-inflammatory and has been used in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicines for thousands of years to treat ailments associated with localized inflammation. Apply our turmeric oil with a carrier oil to reduce the inflammation associated with sore muscles, overworked joints, bruises, and rheumatoid arthritis.
3. Massage – Treat yourself to an invigorating massage with SenseLAB’s turmeric oil. Turmeric oil may increase nitric oxide production, which stimulates circulation by increasing blood flow while lowering blood pressure. Massage into skin with a carrier oil to improve circulation and support overall cardiovascular health.
4. Skin irritation – Our turmeric oil’s natural anti-inflammatory properties make it an excellent choice for alleviating dry, irritated skin. Dilute SenseLAB’s turmeric oil with a carrier oil or a mild lotion to clear up symptoms associated with rosacea, allergic reactions, and other irritating skin conditions.
5. Depression – Multiple studies have provided promising results towards using curcumin to treat depression. Curcumin supports the production of the brain neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, in addition to boosting levels of brain-derived neurotropic factors also associated with depression. 

How to Use It?

Use in a diffuser or vaporizer to support a positive mood. Massage into skin with a carrier oil to stimulate circulation and decrease inflammation. Apply with a carrier oil or add to a moisturizer to soothe irritated skin and protect skin from damage caused by free radicals. Pairs well with ginger, sage, cinnamon, tangerine, orange, and neroli oils.
