Benefits of Tamanu Oil
Tamanu oil is an incredible oil, because it possesses anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and antioxidant properties and qualities almost like no other. It has been used in the south pacific islands for centuries for its remarkable healing power. Tamanu oil is made from the nut kernels of the Tamanu Tree. This tropical oil has the ability to promote the formation of new tissue, therefore effectively speeding up the process of healing. It penetrates deep into all three of the skins layers making it a significant healing agent for: General scarring and scarring associated with acne, stretch marks, shingles, sunburn, dry and scaly skin, burns, insect bites or stings, general itching and itching due to eczema or psoriasis, age spots, ring worm, bladder infections, athletes foot and more. This oil can also be used to treat animals.
Tamanu oil fades stretch marks with incredible results. It also works miracles on scar tissue, making scars look less unsightly. BioScience Laboratories conducted a study of Tamanu oils ability to improve the appearance of scars. Six subjects with obvious scars aged for one year or more participated in the test. Subjects were not allowed to use moisturizers on their scarred areas for seven days before the test or throughout the nine-week test period. Scars were rated for roughness, length, width and degree of difference from surrounding normal skin. Measurements of darkness and redness were also taken for scarred and surrounding normal skin. Digital photos of scars were taken prior to initial application and at the end of week nine. Tamanu oil was applied to the scarred area twice daily for nine consecutive weeks. There was significant improvement in appearance of scars after six weeks, and improvement continued through week nine. Scar length was reduced by an average 0.28 centimeters, and width was reduced by an average 0.12 centimeters!
Directions: Tamanu Oil is non-greasy and readily absorbed into the skin. As the oil is so effective, a little goes a long way. It can have a drying effect on the skin when applied to a large area. If the area does start to become "scaly", don't be alarmed - it means the oil is doing its job. Ease off on the application or even stop for a few days
Caution: Tamanu oil is a nut oil.
