Turmeric Essential Oil

Description

Turmeric essential oil is extracted via steam distillation of the rhizomes (roots) of Curcuma longa, the same plant used to produce the well-known golden-yellow spice. Unlike turmeric powder, the essential oil is a concentrated source of aromatic and therapeutic compounds, particularly ar-turmerone, curlone, and α-turmerone, which give it its distinctive warm, earthy, spicy aroma.

Used for centuries in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine, turmeric has long been prized for its ability to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellness. Today, turmeric essential oil is highly valued in aromatherapy, skincare, natural wellness, and pain-relief formulations.
