The Benefits of Sweet Almond Oil

The first evidence of the use of sweet almond oil to promote hair growth comes from ancient Egypt. Almond oil was routinely mixed with castor oil to improve upon the castor's texture and smell. The mixture was then applied to the scalp through massage and left on for a specific amount of time. This mixture was said to grow hair faster and cure baldness.



ABOUT SWEET ALMOND OIL
Sweet almond is a carrier oil that is extracted from the sweet almond nut. It has a pale yellow color and has a high percentage of Vitamin A, B1, B2, and B6. It has mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids that are also essential for the body to function. It also contains Vitamin E, which nourishes the skin. 

BENEFITS FOR THE HAIR & SKIN
Treating the hair and scalp to sweet almond oil benefits follicles, prevents hair loss, provides shine, and strengthens hair. Other benefits for the hair include:

  • Nourishing hair and smoothes hair cuticles
  • Making hair long, strong and thick
  • Adding shine to the hair
  • Controlling hair fall
  • Preventing itchiness and dry scalp

This is one of the most used carrier oils in aromatherapy massage, which is understandable since it has a fine texture, is easily absorbed, and helps to leave the skin soft and satiny smooth yet it is non-greasy and easily absorbed. As it is a mild oil, sweet almond oil is suitable for all skin types and helps relieve irritation, inflammation and itching. Benefits for the skin include:
  • Improving complexion and glow
  • Moisturizing deeply
  • Rejuvenating skin
  • Soothing skin irritation and inflammation
  • Effective in treating skin disorders including psoriasis, dermatitis, and eczema
  • Relieving dry and itching skin
  • Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
  • Lightening dark circles under the eyes
  • Cures chapped lips and body rashes.

A FEW TIPS...
For a Hot Oil Treatment, mix equal parts of the sweet almond and castor oils and applying it to the scalp. This can provide the help that some desire for hair growth. Massage the oil into the scalp and leave on for 15 minutes. Wash the hair with a mild shampoo and towel dry. 

For a Deep Treatment, mix 4-10 drops of coconut oil with 1oz of sweet almond oil and one egg yolk. Mix well and add warm water (not too hot to avoid cooking the egg yolk). Wash your hair thoroughly and apply to a the scalp and hair while the hair is still wet. Leave on the hair for at least 15 minutes and then rinse. (You may shampoo again if you wish, but it is not necessary.)
