CARROT SEED OIL
Carrot seed essential oil, as the name suggests, is extracted by steam distillation, primarily from the dried seeds of wild carrot, but also from the dried plant itself. Its scientific name is Daucus Carota, and the wild carrot is common in Europe, though it is often known by another name in that region, which is “Queen Anne’s Lace”.
Apart from its components like Alpha Pinene, Beta Pinene, Gamma Terpinene, Limonene, Camphene, Sabinene, Myrcene, Beta Bisabolene, Carotol and Geranyl Acetate, carrot seed oil is rich in Carotene and Vitamin-A, both of which are very beneficial for the eyes and are effective antioxidants

Carminative: Do you feel like you’re ballooning up from all of the gas that you’ve accumulated in your system?? Think that gas in there can lift you up and make you float away atany moment? If you’ve ever felt this way, then carrot seed oil can keep your feet firmly on the ground. It will help to expel the gases from the intestines. You will probably feel so relaxed and light that you will think that you can really fly!
Depurative: Carrot seed oil can purify all the organ systems inside our body, particularly the circulatory, digestive and the excretory systems. It removes toxins like uric acid, urea, insecticides, pesticides and other chemicals which enter the body through our food and water and help restore overall health.
Diuretic: Carrot Seed oil is diuretic in nature, meaning that it increases urination. It may seem that there is no apparent benefit of this property, but you will be surprised to see that urination alone can keep you safe from many ailments. Each time you urinate, some fat (almost 4% of the volume), many toxic substances like uric acid and bile, and microbes that cause infections in the urinary system and otherwise, are removed from the body with urine. Furthermore, it reduces blood pressure and cleans the kidneys. It is also helpful in clearing out renal calculi.
