What can turmeric oil be used for and what are the benefits of using this essential oil? Here’s a complete guide to turmeric essential oil.
Turmeric powder is made from the root of the Curcuma Zedoaria ginger plant, which is native to Southeast Asia. The rhizomes (roots) are dried to create the bright orange-yellow turmeric powder. It’s actually the active ingredient, curcumin, which gives turmeric its vivid colour and soothing properties.

Combine mix 2 to 3 drops of turmeric oil with a carrier oil, such as tamanu oil.12 You can also apply it to cracked heels to help soften the skin.
