Tamanu Oil – Wonder Cure Or Hype?
Tamanu oil is a natural extract that is making quite a buzz in the media recently. The oil is extracted from an native tree of South East Asia and the Pacific and has been used for centuries for curing and aiding skin issues locally. The oil has now made its way to the West and is taking the cosmetics world by storm; it was even featured on the Oprah show recently. So what is this oil really about?
Tamanu oil orginates from the Pacific paradise island of Tahiti, where the sap from the nuts of the Ati three have long been harvested and used as an all purpose medicine and supplement. It is only recently thought that the oil has been ‘discovered’ by the medical and cosmetic industry in the West. There have been experiments and studies conducted on the benefits of the oil since the 1930’s, but lack of availability has kept the oil out of the reach of the general public.
Tamanu Oil has countless of uses. The nun Sister Marie-Suzanne was the first western person to discover its amazing ability to heal skin diseases when she used it to treat leprosy on the Fijis. Since then, the oil has been used for more and more ailments, treating everything from ring worm, athletes foot even sunburn and boils.
Tamanu oil has many widely accepted uses. The indignious people of Papa New Guinea uses it as a primitive, yet effective, anti-biotic to threat sores and cuts on the skin. The uses of the oil go far beyond that though. It is an effective moisturizer, can clear up acne and treat other skin conditions such as enzema.
For all its benefits, this Tahitian wonder product is surprisingly cheap, certainly a lot cheaper than most brand cosmetic creams. If you are looking for a natural and healthy skin product, then this may be the only thing you really need.
