Apricot Kernel Oil, 250 ml, Zdravnitza

PRODUCT INFORMATION:

Zdravnitza's cold-pressed Apricot Kernel Oil is a 100% natural product with an exceptionally light texture, pleasant fine aroma, and mild taste. Obtained from the kernels of the apricot tree (Prunus armeniaca) without the use of solvents and high temperatures, it retains its full nutritional profile. The oil has been used for millennia in traditional Chinese medicine and is extremely rich in Omega-9 fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin K, beta-carotene, and powerful antioxidants. It is intended for both internal intake and direct cosmetic application.

Health benefits for internal intake:

• ❤️ Cardiovascular health (Omega-9): Contains nearly 70% oleic acid (Omega-9), which helps reduce "bad" LDL cholesterol in the blood and strengthens cell membranes.
• 🛡️ Immunity and Vitamin B17: Apricot kernels are a natural source of laetrile (vitamin B17) – a powerful immunostimulant and antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress, stimulates cell regeneration, and is traditionally associated with the prevention of severe diseases.
• 🌬️ Respiratory tract: Internal intake of small amounts of the oil helps relieve inflammation of the respiratory tract during colds, flu, and respiratory distress.
• 👁️ Vision: The high content of beta-carotene (provitamin A) supports the formation of visual purple and reduces the risk of macular degeneration.
• 🩸 Against anemia: Rich in iron, copper, and cobalt, the oil is an excellent tool for the prevention of anemia.
• Bone Anti-inflammatory action: Its intake helps relieve pain and reduce swelling in conditions such as arthritis and gout.

Cosmetic benefits for external application:

• 💧 Deep hydration and anti-aging: Absorbs quickly, exfoliates, and retains moisture in the skin. It stimulates collagen production and contains natural wax, which acts as a protective filter against wrinkles. Relieves rosacea, psoriasis, and eczema.
• 💆‍♀️ Healthy hair and scalp: Rubbing it into the scalp strengthens follicles, reduces the accumulation of chemicals causing hair loss (linked to testosterone), and eliminates dandruff.
• 🌸 Fight against acne: Reduces inflammation and prevents excessive accumulation of sebum in the pores.
• 🧴 Ideal oil for massage and aromatherapy: Due to its fine texture, it absorbs perfectly. A wonderful base oil for dissolving essential oils.
