Aromatherapy with Andiroba Carrier Oil

Fruit from the Andiroba tree contains Kernels (seeds) which are rich in oil. This oil is cold pressed and viscous in its composition. Andiroba seed oil is considered antiseptic, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral and a dental agent. 

Andiroba seed oil has been used for centuries in traditional rainforest medicine to aid in the healing of topical skin disorders such as eczema, psoriasis, rashes, burns and acne. It is rich in fatty acids and glycerides and, together with its healing properties, provides an excellent natural moisturizing base for skin care formulations.

Andiroba seed oil is a quick penetrating oil with exceptional anti-inflammatory activity, making it ideal as a massage oil or as a carrier oil for treatment products. Andiroba Oil also is used as a natural insect repellant.

You should expect to pay at least $20 for 8 ounces of this oil

Aromatherapy in the Dark and Middle Ages

Ironically, though aromatherapy was regarded as superstition throughout the Dark Ages, one of the few places it was kept alive and healthy was in the monasteries, where monks used plants from their small herbal gardens to produce infused oils, herbal teas, and medicines.

It wasn't until midway through the Middle Ages, when societies were devastated by Bubonic and other plagues, that we "rediscovered" that certain aromatic derivatives helped prevent the spread of infection. Cedar and pine were often burnt to fumigate infected homes and streets.
