Background

Belonging to the ginger family Zingiberaceae, Curcuma longa or Turmeric is a perennial plant that can grow up to 1 metre in height. Native to the Indian subcontinent, the subspecies of this plant can also be found in other Asian countries. It bears long dark-green leaves and white to purple coloured flowers that do not reproduce. The leaves emerge from branching rhizomes that sprawl just below the soil surface. These rhizomes possess a strong musky earth-like scent. Turmeric is cultivated worldwide for its rhizomes, which are used for culinary purposes and in medicines, either in the form of dry powder or essential oil.

General Information

Ecodrop’s Organic Turmeric essential oil is produced from ethically sourced Curcuma longa roots, grown in the tropical lands of India, certified organic by the UK Soil Association. The highest concentration of oil is present in matured rhizomes, which is why extraction is carried out only in the summer season when browning of leaves indicate that turmeric has matured and is ready to harvest. Once unrooted, these are left to dry and then carried to the distillery where extraction of the essential oil takes place by the CO2 method. CO2 method produces a higher quality of the oil that retains the intense aroma of the herb. As this method involves low heat, it ensures minimum constituent loss during the process. In this method, pressurized Carbon dioxide (CO2) is passed through the dried rhizome, after which it is dissolved in ethanol. The resulting solution is a mixture of CO2, ethanol, and the chemical constituents of turmeric oil. Since CO2 and ethanol have low boiling points, a lower temperature is needed to separate these from the pure Turmeric essential oil.

    Great anti-inflammatory – I didn’t buy this for it’s scent, I bought it for its anto-inflammatory properties for my cat. He has polyps and when he goes in his carry case to be nebulised I also provide a little bowl of boiling water with 6 drops of turmeric (outside the door of the carry case) with a towel over so he can inhale the steam at the same time. He seems to like it

    Great product from a great company! – I haven’t used turmeric oil before so can’t compare with other brands.
    However, the product came quickly along with a lovely ebook.
    I have been mixing this oil with ginger and the turmeric is definitely the dominant scent when massaging.

  • Rafe

    Wow – A revelation. I have now tried two CO2 extracts (this and frankincense) and they really do have a better smell profile – fresher, more top notes, and a greater overall dimension. Really worth paying the extra IMHO

  • joy

    Highly recommend – I used this for my daughter who has excruiting period pains and been in constant pain for at least 5 hrs. I mixed a few drops with a reasonable amount of Almond oil as the base oil… I rubbed it on her stomach and within 10 minutes the pain had gone and she continued to rub her stomach area every 4hrs until it wasn’t needed.. This has helped where her normal co-codamol tablets hasn’t. We will be buying more of this product and I’ve recommended it to my family and friends as it was recommended to me by my son. It’s one of the best purchases and a great price. Try this product before spending money on Over the counter products for pain .

    Really good! – Says don’t apply neat to skin but I did!!! Clears skin issues in mice-GP not available so decided nothing to lose and used to clear skin problem on the back of my neck that I’ve had for over 2 months!!! Does smell strong and slightly stains but googled and no suggested concerns.

  • Kindle Customer

  • Kindle Customer

    Excellent product – This is a great quality oil and I would not hesitate to purchase this and other items from this seller again

  • graham youds

    Excellent – I have never known a product to work so fast, one knee is a replacement and the other knee needs doing, the joint keeps opening and makes audible cracking noises lifting my foot of the ground when I’m sitting I use my hands to decrease the pain, I rubbed the oil into my knee joint massaged it in and believe it or not it worked within a minute I was like a kid at Xmas bending my leg in ways I couldn’t do for years, don’t know how it works but so glad I got this, had it for eleven days now and still 3/4 of the bottle left, it only let’s a tiny amount at a time out which is all you need, so for £6.99 a month that will be with me for life

  • Customer

    This is good – Not much to say really. It’s great oil, and smell good. But beware this stuff stains everything! Clothes, sofa, carpet etc and it doesn’t come out.

  • Susan williams

    Turmeric oil – Great value for money. Cheaper than lots of other oils. Would recommend.
