Carrot seed oil is
extracted from Daucus carota
of the Apiaceae family. This is
an essential oil extracted
from the seeds and should not
be confused with oils made
by infusing the carrot
material in a base oil.
Carrot seed oil is mainly
obtained from wild carrots,
usually found in Europe. It is
an annual or biennial herb
with hairy leaves and umbels
of white lacy flowers with
purple centers.
The name is derived from
the Greek 'Carotos' and it had
great medicinal value in
ancient times, especially for
its carminative properties. In
modern application, it is
used for cancer patients,
especially those with stomach
and throat problems.
As an essential oil, this
must be one of the most
underrated oils used in
aromatherapy. It has a soft
earthy smell and not only
helps to relieve stress and
exhaustion, but is a powerful
detoxifier and liver booster,
while stimulating and
rejuvenating the skin in
general, thereby adding
elasticity to any skin.
At the same time it
fights any skin problems, such
as psoriasis and eczema.
