Our organically crafted Turmeric Essential Oil is steam distilled from the vivid orange rhizomes of the flowering Curcuma longa plant cultivated in the bright, sunny landscape of India. Also known as Indian Saffron, 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 Oil is a yellow to dark-orange liquid with a warm, fresh, spicy, somewhat woody aroma reminiscent of Ginger and Galangal. 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 and the main compound actually found in raw turmeric root and turmeric extract.
