Carrot Seed Essential Oil

Stupendous skin saver - good for wrinkles, eczema and troubled skin

Carrot seed essential oil actually comes, not from carrots, but from a plant called Queen Anne's Lace or wild carrot (which is a weed in my part of the world.)

Carrot seed oil is an essential oil extracted from the seeds of the Queen Anne's Lace and is not to be confused with carrot carrier oil, which is made by infusing a base oil such as canola with macerated (chopped up) wild carrot.

If you're not sure even after reading labels and product descriptions, the price should tip you off:

  • If it's inexpensive, it's likely to be the carrier oil. The essential oil is generally fairly expensive.

Top Three Benefits

1.

Carrot seed essential oil is best known for its amazing effects on the skin.

  • It rejuvenates skin cells, increasing elasticity and reducing wrinkles and liver spots.

  • It also fights skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, sores and boils.

2.

Carrot seed oil's other claim to fame is its detoxifying effect on the liver. It's often used as a kidney and liver cleanser, especially for jaundice and hepatitis.

3.

It's also good for arthritis because a buildup of toxins contributes to inflammation, which is a primary factor in arthritis.
