Camelina oil was first used in northern Europe hundreds of years ago for food, medicine and lamp oil. It is extracted from seeds of Camelina sativa<\/em>,<\/em> a plant native to Europe, which grows well in cold and arid climates. Camelina seed oil is very similar to flax in appearance and properties but it has a much more stable shelf life and is not prone to rancidity. This delicious oil can be used for food and cosmetic purposes and comes packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin E, and anti-oxidants.<\/p>\n

\"BENEFITSHere are the top benefits of Camelina oil:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

RICH IN ANTI-OXIDANT<\/strong><\/p>\n

With its impressive levels of Vitamin E (a cancer-fighting antioxidant), Camelina oil is much more stable and versatile than other vegetable oils. \u00a0Not only is it great as a salad dressing and finishing oil, but its high smoke point (475\u00b0 F) also makes it ideal for cooking, baking, and light sauteing.<\/p>\n

HELPS CONTROL CHOLESTEROL<\/strong><\/p>\n

Camelina oil is abundant in sterols, which are shown to interfere with cholesterol absorption. Most of the fats in camelina oil are polyunsaturated. These types of fats are needed for healthy cell function in your body. Whereas, camelina is very low in saturated fats that can lead to increased blood cholesterol and heart disease.<\/p>\n

SKIN CARE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Camelina oil can be used as a massage oil for the skin. Because it has a nice mild aroma, it feels good during the massage. It provides ample amount of Vitamin E and omega fatty acids directly to the skin. These moisturize the skin and prevent it from free radical damage. One can perform this massage regularly to get healthier, smooth and well moisturized skin.<\/p>\n

HAIR CARE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Camelina oil can be used just like olive oil for a hot oil scalp massage. This provides nutrition to the scalp and gets rid of dry skin, dandruff and flakiness. It can help to keep the hair looking soft and moisturized. Its antioxidants protect the hair shafts from free radical damage.<\/p>\n

TREAT ARTHRITIS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Camelina oil can be applied topically to reduce inflammation in arthritis. When taken internally, it provides large amounts of omega – 3 fatty acids. Regular intake of omega- reduces overall inflammation. One can experience a reduction in pain, inflammation and swelling over the joint. It also boosts mobility in the joint. Camelina oil can be used as carrier oil. It goes well with rosemary essential oil and this combination can be massaged on the inflamed joint.<\/p>\n

RICH SOURCE OF VITAMIN E<\/strong><\/p>\n

Camelina oil is also rich in alpha and gamma tocopherol, two forms of vitamin E. These compounds protect the oil from oxidation and rancidity. This is why the oil can be stored up to 18 months. The antioxidant effects of vitamin E are also important for our health. Vitamin E helps to prevent free radical damage, which in turn can prevent heart disease, arthritis and cancer. Vitamin E has also been linked to enhanced immune function, prevention of eye problems and easing menstrual symptoms.<\/p>\n

GOOD FOR BRAIN, EYES AND NERVES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like alpha linoleic acid, EPA and DHA are helpful in keeping the brain, eyes and nerves healthy. As a result, Camelina oil may protect against cognitive diseases, like dementia, Alzheimer’s, eye diseases like macular degeneration and nervous damage due to inflammation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
