Description
 
African Baobab Oil from West Africa.
One of Africa's most famous trees. We have found this oil to be one of the best for dry skin. Very yellow but mixes well with spa therapy treatments. Latin named (Adansonia Digitata) The Baobab tree is found throughout Africa. Several parts of the Baobab have medicinal purposes. A root infusion is used to treat sore throats in Malawi. Roasted seeds are pulverized and applied to a toothache. The pulp from the seed is combined with water to make a drink to treat fevers and dysentery. The powdered seeds are used to treat hiccups in infants. As a food source, in West Africa the dried leaf is used as a condiment and seasoning and the fresh leaf as a spinach in soup. The fruit pulp is high in ascorbic acid. In West Africa and Sudan the Baobab Tree is worshipped as the fertility tree. In Sierra Leone the Africans use the leaf as a prophylactic against fever (malaria), fighting excess perspiration and lastly as an astringent.
A rich, golden oil with a nutty scent, Baobab Oil has high concentrations Vitamins A, D, E and F (essential fatty acids). In fact, the pulp of the fruit has about six times as much Vitamin C as an orange.The fruit, which is large, gourd-like and woody, is called Monkey’s Bread. Palmitic acid, Oleic Acid, Linoleic Acid. Omega 3, Omega 6 & Omega 9 Fatty Acids.
It can be used for people suffering from eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, skin cancer, scaly skin disorder and non-healing wounds, such as diabetic ulcers.
