At Lotus Garden Botanicals we have two types of Turmeric oil, pure essential oil and this Co2 Select extract. The aroma of this Co2 Select extract is smooth and spicy with earthy melon-like nuances. Either Co2 extract or essential oil may be used in aromatherapy. For perfumery we recommend our
Turmeric essential oil for its crisp ginger-like nuances.
Comprised predominately of sesquiterpenes and ketones, documented benefits of Turmeric Co2 extract and Turmeric essential oil are growing by leaps and bounds in peer-reviewed studies and clinical trials. While the percentage of Tumerones is important,
ar-Curcumene in Turmeric CO2 should not be overlooked. The primary constituents in this Co2 select extract are
a-Turmerone, ß-Turmerone, Ar-Turmerone, Ar-Curcumene, ß-Sesquiphellandrene, and a-Zingiberene.
A
published review validated with clinical trials by the University of Texas, Department of Chemistry, indicates Turmeric extract and essential oil have many beneficial pharmacological effects, which include, but are not limited to, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, antiangiogenic, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer disease, and antidiabetic activities. Most importantly, curcumin possesses immense antitumorigenic effects.
