Oléoriginel® - Organic TIGERNUT vegetable oil

€17.40
Tax included

Edible Tigernut or yellow nutsedge is a herbaceous plant of the papyrus family.

It grows in meadows and along waterways in the Mediterranean basin. Its tubers are used in flour, juice, or left to dry and a naturally anti-inflammatory, healing and nourishing oil is subsequently extracted from it. Applied to the skin, it improves elasticity and slows the effects of ageing. Additionally, it is traditionally used pure to limit the regrowth of body hair and soothe razor burn. It may also be used as a base for a homemade deodorant; when used on a daily basis it will also limit the growth of armpit hair.

In summary, it is indicated for dry, mature skin and to reduce body hair.

From a nutritional standpoint, it is rather similar to olive oil in that it is an antioxidant, anti-cholesterol and is beneficial for digestive transit.

Oil or Macerate obtained by traditional mechanical first cold pressing.

Description

A hydrolate is a floral water resulting from the distillation of essential oils.

It contains trace molecules of essential oils, the low concentration of which increases its serviceability. Wildly varying product qualities are available on the market today and in most cases the concentration is not specified due to extremely low content. Our hydrolates have been selected for maximum concentration and are distilled from wild and/or organic plants chiefly grown in France. In order to ensure an exceptional concentration we process on average 1 Kg of fresh plant matter to obtain 1 Lt of hydrolate.

Use & Special precautions

There are varied applications for this product that can be used daily, seasonally or every once and a while as it strikes your fancy. Hydrolates are generally used:

- tonic lotions, at any time of the day; after removing make-up or a facial mask, spray the hydrolate on your face and let it absorb into your skin for a few moments. You can then apply your usual facial treatment.

- spray mists, to soothe your skin; a soothing and relaxing mist that is ideal during the summer, on the beach or elsewhere.

- body lotions; a real luxury after bathing or showering.

- hair sprays; promotes shiny, healthy hair in post shampoo application..

- aftershave lotions; hydrolates are highly valued because of their astringent, antiseptic and healing properties as well as for the subtlety of their perfume (lavender, verbena or chamomile hydrolates).

- ingested orally (organic quality); 1 tsp per cup of hot water 3 times a day, before or after meals, or 1 tablespoon in a litre of water to drink throughout of the day. A 200 ml bottle is sufficient for a 20 day cycle.

Floral waters are highly sought after for their therapeutic benefits and their high-energy value. Unlike essential oils, hydrosols do not contain any caustic or corrosive elements and are therefore well tolerated and particularly appreciated by people who may be especially sensitive or fragile.

For more detailed information on the virtues and uses of floral waters for health and beauty, please refer to the reference book on the subject written by Lydia Bosson (Amyris Editions).
