Description
Extracting andiroba oil requires a process lasting at least 45 days from the collection of seeds that fall from the tree. First they must be dried, then washed and boiled to soften them.
Once this process is complete, they are left at room temperature for 30 days, after which their shells are removed and they are compacted into a uniform mass (pulp). Finally, this pulp is placed in the sun so that the oil gradually drips into the containers.
This distinctive oil is notable for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is indicated for relieving musculoskeletal pain, particularly in cases of sprains, strains, bruises, rheumatism or spinal pain. It also aids healing and improves skin elasticity.
Given its regenerative properties, this oil is also recommended for eczema, psoriasis and fungal infections. It is also recommended to improve the appearance of skin affected by cellulite. In hair care, it adds shine and flexibility. It is also used as an insect and parasite repellent, particularly against ticks and lice.Combine it with the following essential oils to optimise its effects:
Musculoskeletal pain: lemon eucalyptus, wintergreen, rosemary ct camphor, exotic basil ct methyl chavicol, copaiba, katrafay and yellow immortelle.
Cellulite: lemongrass, rosemary ct verbenone, cypress, palmarosa, grapefruit, juniper, Himalayan cedar or Atlas cedar.

Es buena calidad pero no es aromatico y su efecto es regular. Prefiero para un masaje muscoloesqueletico aceite de canabis.
