Walnut Pure Carrier Oil

Description:

Walnut oil is better known for culinary use, where chefs prefer to use it cold as heating may destroy its nutty quality. However, this oil is also highly favored for massage as it is an excellent emollient with moisturising properties for dry, mature or scaly, irritated skin. In aromatherapy circles, Walnut Oil is believed to be a balancing agent for the nervous system.

History:

Historical accounts show walnut trees growing in Babylon (present day Iraq) around 2,000 BC. However, prior to that time, there are other indications that show the walnut was grown in many parts of the world including Egypt, Eastern Europe, Asia, South and North America, and Greece. California now claims the most production of walnuts. In the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys, there are about 5,000 growers and 52 processors.
