Background
Belonging to the ginger family Zingiberaceae, Curcuma longa—commonly known as turmeric—is a perennial plant that grows up to 1 metre in height. Native to the Indian subcontinent, it also flourishes in other Asian regions. The plant features long, dark green leaves and non-reproductive white to purple flowers. These emerge from branching rhizomes that sprawl just below the soil surface. These rhizomes are rich in oil and possess a strong musky, earthy scent. Cultivated globally, turmeric is used both in culinary traditions and in traditional medicine, either as a dry powder or as Turmeric Essential Oil.
General Information
Ecodrop’s Organic Turmeric Essential Oil 10ml is derived from ethically sourced Curcuma longa roots grown in India. These organic plantations are certified by the UK Soil Association. Harvesting is timed carefully for when the turmeric rhizomes reach full maturity—indicated by the browning of leaves during summer. Once uprooted and dried, the rhizomes undergo CO₂ extraction, a method that preserves the purity and potency of the oil. This low-heat process ensures the Organic Turmeric Essential Oil retains its intense aroma and active therapeutic compounds, offering superior quality and effectiveness.
