Turmeric Organic Essential Oil

Our organic Turmeric Essential Oil is steam distilled from the vivid orange rhizomes of the flowering Curcuma longa plant cultivated in India. Turmeric has been used in South Asian countries and India as a spice and house medicine for centuries; it is widely recognized in modern herbalism for its beneficial effects in many health-related issues.

Turmeric Essential Oil has two powerful ketones, Turmerone and ar-Turmerone. In aromatherapy, ketone molecules are excellent solvents and are highly volatile - this is why many ketone-rich oils are used to assist skin healing and are often considered top notes in natural perfumery. Both these components have also been shown to help our bodies with the absorption of Curcumin, a strong antioxidant.

Each and every batch of Amala essential oils is tested by an independent international laboratory before being sent to us. A Certificate of Analysis is issued, stating the purity of the oil.

Do not use internally unless instructed by a licensed aromatherapist or physician. Essential oils are highly concentrated and powerful oils and can cause serious harm if ingested without the necessary expertise required - for this reason, ingestion of essential oils is NOT recommended.
