Frequently Asked Questions
What is turmeric oil?
Turmeric essential oil, derived from the Curcuma longa plant, is native to Southeast Asia. It belongs to the ginger family and thrives in warm, humid conditions. The oil is extracted through steam distillation, retaining its vibrant yellow-orange colour due to curcumin, its active compound.
How does turmeric oil work?
While the precise mechanisms are still being studied, turmeric oil is believed to exert its effects through its active compounds, particularly curcumin. These compounds may interact with various biological pathways, contributing to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Can turmeric essential oil be ingested?
No, turmeric essential oil should not be ingested due to its high concentration, which can lead to adverse reactions. It is intended solely for topical or aromatic use when properly diluted. Ingesting essential oils can pose health risks and should only be done under professional guidance.
All our essential oils are for external use only and should not be ingested. Learn more about the dangers of internal essential oil consumption.
Is turmeric essential oil safe for children to use?
Turmeric essential oil should be used cautiously in children due to its concentration. Always dilute it with a carrier oil before application and conduct a patch test for allergic reactions. Avoid ingestion and application near sensitive areas like the face or eyes. Consult your child's healthcare provider before use.
How should turmeric essential oil be stored?
Store turmeric essential oil in a cool, dark place away from sunlight and heat to preserve its potency. Keep it in its original dark glass bottle with a tightly sealed lid to prevent oxidation and deterioration. Ensure it is out of reach of children and pets for safety.
