The fixed oil from the nuts of the argan tree is cultivated in in the southern region of Morocco. The goats there seem to realize a good thing after they experience it. They have been eating in areas with argan trees for decades because they enjoy the fruit from this wonder tree which the indigenous people call the “tree of life.” The argan tree is considered the tree of life because it arrests soil erosion and the seeds are used to express the valuable oil that has health properties.
In the past the women of the area would work for all day producing oil from the fruit. The argan nuts were then hand crushed between stones and then the seeds were roasted. The roasted seeds were ground into a paste-like consistency that was pressed so the oil could be captured. The man hours it took to make the oil made the end product quite expensive. In modern times argan oil is processed with the help of machines, but it is still the most expensive oil in the world. The Argan tree is considered an endangered and rare species by UNESCO and that status makes the oil even more precious.
The cost for argan oil for beauty care is considerable but it’s worth it. The oil from the argan tree is rich in vitamin E as well as other anti-oxidants that help to regenerate skin cells and reduce free radicals. Even though the argan tree oil costs a lot more than olive oil and other fixed oils used to treat skin ailments it is considered to be one of the best anti-oxidant and personal care products in the marketplace.
The natural compounds as well as the high levels of natural vitamin E in the oil have exceptional anti-aging properties. When the oil penetrates the skin it has the ability to repair hair follicles. The omega 9 and omega 3 in the oil convey essential nutrients for the hair that is effective for conditions like dandruff, as well as frizzy and unmanageable dry hair.
Even muscles respond to organic argan oil. Muscles tend to stay firm and appear to be healthier when the oil is topically applied into different muscle groups. Arthritis as well as other debilitating conditions can be controlled effectively with argan tree oil when the oil saturates the joints and the surrounding muscles.
This natural wonder oil doesn’t contain cholesterol so it’s great cooking oil that potentially reduces the risk of heart disease. In fact, some researchers say it’s more efficacious than olive oil when it comes to preventing a breakdown in cell activity that can contribute to cancerous growth.
Most women who use it as a skin emollient notice the nutty toasted smell, but it dissipates once it is absorbed into the skin. Women from all over the world claim that acne, wrinkles, and problematic dry skin are reduced dramatically so the scent is not a problem.
Argan oil is an amazing natural remedy that can alleviate a variety of skin conditions without fear of harmful side effects. It is considered “liquid gold” in regards to correcting unhealthy cells and supporting the immune system.
