 The Endless Skin Care Benefits of Tamanu
Oil Are Ancient, Traditional and Unbelieveably Fabulous
Author: Barry Roche

Today I want to talk about Tamanu
Oil, as the benefits of this fabulous oil seem to be endless.
In fact, there appears to be a complete absence of any negative
consequences. Here in Vanuatu, we are well aware of the remarkable
curative and regenerative properties of this magical oil, when
it comes to treating various skin conditions. Just the same,
this does not mean that we truly appreciate the nature and extent
to which this oil has and can be put to use. More on this later.
Although indigenous Melanesian
and Polynesian communities discovered this mind-blowing, natural
skin care remedy many centuries ago, it is only in recent times
that Tamanu Oil has begun to attract serious attention from the
beauty industry. Volcanic Earth's efforts in promoting pure Vanuatu
Tamanu Oil in the global marketplace, via our international resellers,
website and Tropical First Aid range, may well have contributed
to this development in some small way - at least our overseas
sales figures seem to reflect this.
One thing that is clear is that
Tamanu Oil is at the cutting edge of a new wave of emerging skin
care products. Below I will attempt to explain precisely why
this is the case. |

How Tamanu Oil Is Produced
The Tamanu tree only bears fruit
once a year and the fruit itself is inedible. However, inside
the fruit is a pale-coloured nut kernel. When this nut kernel
is dried (which takes 1-2 months), it turns a deep, chocolate
brown and releases a sticky, rich oil. These days, the oil is
often extracted from the nut kernels using some form of mechanical
cold press. The resulting Tamanu Oil is a rich, luxurious, greenish-amber
colour. It is non-toxic and devoid of any chemical additives.
The Healing Benefits Of Tamanu
Oil
Tamanu Oil is made from the nut
kernels of the Tamanu Tree. While the tree itself does grow inland,
it prefers salty, sandy soil, with the result that it tends to
grow profusely near the sea. The native Ni Vanuatu people claim
that the best Tamanu Oil comes from the trees that grow near
coastal areas, rather than from those that grow inland.
The ability of Tamanu Oil to
heal the skin surpasses that of most, if not all, modern day
skin care products. Scientific studies show that Tamanu Oil is
a significant healing agent because of its ability to produce
new skin tissue and because of its anti-inflammatory, anti-neuralgic,
antibiotic and antioxidant properties.
While Tamanu Oil can be used
effectively to treat a range of infections including ring worm,
athlete’s foot, itching and dermaphytosis of the scalp or
beard (due to the presence of Friedelin) and infected wounds
and burns (due to the anti-bacterial presence of Canophyllol
and the antibiotic presence of lactone), it is its cicatrizing
capacity that sets it apart.
Cicatrization is the process
involved in the formation of new tissue. Consequently, Tamanu
Oil is amazingly effective for the treatment of everything from
acne and acne scars, scarring generally, stretch marks, diabetic
sores, psoriasis, sunburn, blisters, abrasions, burns, cuts,
eczema, herpes sores, insect bites and stings, fissures, dry
or scaly skin and my personal favourite – the reduction
or complete removal of unsightly age spots.
Tamanu Oil is also a natural
deodorant and this is why it is used for the reduction of foot
and/or body odour. The natural anti-inflammatory qualities of
the oil also produce significant pain-relieving properties (due
in part to the presence of Phenyl Coumarin Calophyllolide and
various xanthones in the oil). It is this anti-inflammatory quality
that is primarily responsible for the reduction of general swelling,
rashes, sores, and abrasions.
Sometimes referred to as “Green
Gold” or the Sacred Oil of Tamanu, this oil also possesses
analgesic properties that help rid the body of pain extremely
fast – this is especially so when it comes to conditions
such as neuralgia, sciatica, shingles and rheumatism. The combination
of the oil’s anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities can
be particularly beneficial in the case of pulled muscles, ligament
damage and sprains.
Tamanu Oil can be applied to
the surface of the skin to promote healthy, blemish-free skin.
Many Ni Vanuatu women apply use it on babies to prevent nappy
rash. It may be applied to treat a variety of skin irritations,
including those caused by warts, allergies or skin ulcers. Tamanu
Oil has proved successful in the treatment of severe skin conditions,
including a gangrenous leg ulcer.
Some of the other skin care benefits
of this tropical first aid remedy include the treatment of dermatitis,
chemical burns, skin grafts, post surgical wounds, vaginitis,
chilblains – just to name a few.
One of the most important features
of Tamanu Oil is its ability to penetrate all three layers of
the skin – i.e. the Epidermis, Dermis and Hypodermis. Apart
from all its other qualities, this fact goes a long way towards
explaining why Tamanu Oil can do what it does.
Not surprisingly, this wonderful
oil can even be used to treat animals such as dogs and cats.
How To Use Tamanu Oil
Tamanu Oil is non-greasy and
readily absorbed into the skin. As the oil is so effective, a
little goes a long way. Our handy Tamanu Oil 12ml Roll On is
an ideal applicator. Better still, it’s refillable so once
you have the roll-on, you can simply buy our 50ml bottle of Tamanu
Oil and refill it.
Simply roll the oil onto the
affected area. Initially, it’s a good idea to apply the
oil 3-5 times a day and then cut back as the problem begins to
heal. This is another reason why our little Roll-On is so handy,
as it will easily fit into most purses/handbags or trouser/shirt
pockets.
Although we are not aware of
any documented reports of adverse effects due to application
of Tamanu Oil, care may need to be taken if you are allergic
to nuts. The Oil of Tamanu is an all-natural product that is
clearly very versatile and effective. It can be applied directly
to the skin and is suitable for treating a wide range of skin
conditions.
So, get yourself some Tamanu
Oil TODAY - Just make sure it's pure Tamanu Oil and that it is
not mixed with some lesser, inferior oil.
