Rosemary is one of the most powerful herbs and essential oils on the planet, having an antioxidant ORAC value of 11,070, and the same incredible free radical fighting power as goji berries. Native to the Mediterranean, it has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to improve memory, soothe digestive problems, boost the immune system and relieve aches and pains.
Wintergreen - Because this oil naturally has a sweet and fresh scent and smell, very similar to that of peppermint oil, it has a wide variety of uses in foods, teas, aromatherapy, household and beauty products. It is absorbed into the skin quickly, and promotes blood circulation while cooling irritation. This makes wintergreen oil act like a natural analgesic (pain reducer), anti-arthritic, antiseptic and astringent. It is also believed that it helps improve alertness and ones senses.
Avocado oil is moisturizing, but also anti-inflammatory, a natural steroid, and repairs sun-damaged skin much faster than leaving it alone. The anti-inflammatory aspects of it also can be of great benefit to those suffering arthritis and rheumatism. Nutrient-rich, it is very effective in relieving skin conditions such as eczema. Multiple massages with avocado oil can really make a difference, increasing the skins elasticity, for it helps to trigger collagen production. Since avocados have more antioxidants than other kinds of fruit, it is useful in fighting against free radicals.
Sesame oil, called "til" oil in Sanskrit, has reportedly been known since Vedic times. The ancient ayurvedic scholar Charaka, in his well-known treatise on ayurveda, claims that it is the best of all oils due to being rich in linoleic acid. It has anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Sunflower Oil, also known as Surajmukhi tel (Hindi) is a non-volatile oil extracted from the seeds of sunflowers. It is commonly used in cosmetic formulations due to its emollient properties. Its nutritious composition makes it one of the healthiest oils for application on the skin and the hair. The main component of sunflower oil is linoleic acid.
