Calendula Oil

Description

Calendula Oil

Wild As The Wind Calendula Oil is made using a cold pressed Sunflower Seed Oil, which is then infused with Calendula (at a 20% concentration).

The Calendula flowers are steeped in the Sunflower Oil until they impart all of their healing constituents into the Sunflower Oil. This process is called maceration.

Calendula Oil Is A Macerated Oil

Macerated oils, are also called infusion oils, or infused oils.

These terms describe all carrier oils which are used to extract the therapeutic properties of a certain plant or group of plants. The carrier oils commonly used are Sunflower Oil, Olive Oil and sometimes Almond Oil.

Calendula Oil Healing Benefits

Calendula Oil is known to be antifungal, anti-inflammatory & antibacterial. This means that it has many potential applications.

Calendula Oil is especially beneficial for skincare. For example, it is excellent for speeding up the healing of sores, chaffed skin and open wounds. It is also used for soothing eczema & dry skin, as well as nappy rash.

Application :: Gently rub Calendula Infused Oil into the affected area, allowing the warmth of your hand to assist the absorption of the oil into the skin.

Trauma Oil

One of the first blends that aromatherapists learn to make is Trauma Oil. This is a simple blend of three carrier oils, Arnica Oil, Calendula Oil and St. John’s Wort Oil.

These macerated oils should be blended together in equal quantities to make Trauma Oil, as follows.

• 1/3 Arnica Oil
• 1/3 Calendula Oil
• 1/3 St. John’s Wort Oil

Trauma Oil has many uses and is a great addition to your home first aid kit.

It is variously applied to the following physical traumas :: wounds, breaks, sprains, bruises, fractures, dislocations, as well as injury sites after surgery.

Trauma Oil is also helpful for rashes, insect bites and other itchy or painful skin conditions.

It can also be used as a carrier oil base when blending essential oils.

A severe reaction will occur within ten minutes, but it may take 24 hours for milder intolerances to emerge.

Look for signs of Urticaria, (aka Hives), discolouration, redness, dryness, or feelings of irritation / itchiness.

If you experience none of these, you will be safe to use your Wild As The Wind oil elsewhere on your body, including your face.
