Turmeric Organic Essential Oil, 5ml

Botanical name: Curcuma longa
Plant family: Zingiberaceae (Ginger family)
Plant part used: Rhizome
Origin: Madagascar
Extraction: Essential oil obtained from the rhizome

Traditional Use

Turmeric has a long history of use throughout South and Southeast Asia, both as a culinary spice and within traditional wellness systems. In Ayurveda, preparations made from the turmeric rhizome have traditionally been associated with digestion, liver function, the skin and inflammatory conditions.

In aromatherapy, Turmeric Rhizome Essential Oil has traditionally been used particularly for digestive and musculoskeletal preparations. Aromatherapy literature describes its use for indigestion, dyspepsia, stomach cramps and intestinal spasms, as well as general aches and pains, rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis.

For digestive comfort, the diluted essential oil may be incorporated into an abdominal massage oil. For muscles and joints, it can be included in local massage preparations and combined with complementary essential oils according to the intended use.

Turmeric Essential Oil contains the volatile aromatic constituents of the rhizome and should not be confused with turmeric powder or curcumin-rich extracts. Curcumin belongs primarily to the non-volatile fraction of turmeric, while the essential oil has its own distinctive aromatic and chemical profile.

• Analgesic - Pain killer, reduces pain
• Anti-inflammatory - reduces inflammation and swelling
• Digestive - improves the function of the stomach, increases appetite, and helps with digestion
• Antimicrobial - antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. An antimicrobial kills microorganisms or inhibits their growth
• Antispasmodic - prevents or relieves spasms
• Cholagogue - stimulates the flow of bile
• Restorative - ability to restore health, strength, or well-being
• Stomachic - Encouraging the production of gastric juices, relieve bloating and indigestion
• Stimulant - increases alertness of the mind, and boosts energy. Raises levels of physiological or nervous activity in the body
• Tonic - refreshes, revitalizes and invigorates body functions

Turmeric Essential Oil is highly concentrated and should be diluted appropriately before application to the skin.

For general adult massage preparations, a 2% dilution is a practical concentration. For children where appropriate and for elderly people, use a gentler 1% dilution.

Turmeric has been part of Asian culture for thousands of years. Its distinctive yellow-orange rhizome became important not only as a spice, but also in traditional medicine, textile colouring, religious ceremonies and everyday life.

The plant is sometimes called Indian saffron, a reference to the intense golden colour it brings to food and preparations. Long before turmeric became internationally associated with wellness, it was already an important ingredient in the cuisines of South and Southeast Asia.

Turmeric belongs to the same botanical family as ginger, Zingiberaceae. The useful part lies underground: a thick, branching rhizome with an intensely coloured interior and characteristic earthy fragrance.

Turmeric became one of the characteristic ingredients in curry mixtures, contributing to their familiar golden colour and warm aromatic character.

Although turmeric is strongly associated with India today, its history extends throughout tropical Asia. Through cultivation and trade it travelled widely and is now grown in tropical regions around the world, including Madagascar, where the rhizomes used for this essential oil originate.

🌿What does Turmeric Essential Oil smell like?

Turmeric Essential Oil has a warm, earthy and spicy aroma with woody and gently peppery nuances. It has a deeper and less immediately sweet character than many familiar essential oils.

🌿Is Turmeric Essential Oil the same as turmeric powder or curcumin supplements?

No. Turmeric Essential Oil contains the volatile aromatic constituents obtained from the rhizome. Turmeric powder and many turmeric supplements contain different fractions of the plant and are commonly valued for their curcuminoids, including curcumin.

🌿Does Turmeric Essential Oil contain curcumin?

Turmeric Essential Oil should not be treated as a curcumin preparation. Curcumin belongs primarily to the non-volatile fraction of the turmeric rhizome, whereas essential oil distillation captures its volatile aromatic constituents.

🌿Can Turmeric Essential Oil be used for digestive comfort?

Yes. Turmeric Essential Oil has a long-standing place in aromatherapy for digestive preparations, including indigestion, dyspepsia, stomach cramps and intestinal spasms.

For external use, it can be appropriately diluted in a carrier oil and used for a gentle abdominal massage.

Yes. Its traditional musculoskeletal uses and warm aromatic character make it particularly suitable for recovery and after-activity massage preparations when appropriately diluted in a carrier oil.

🌿Is Turmeric Essential Oil the same as Ginger Essential Oil?

No. Although turmeric and ginger belong to the same Zingiberaceae botanical family, they are different plants with different aromatic and chemical profiles.
