This is an incredibly healing oil that has been used since ancient times to treat many health conditions. It is known as the oil that the Prophet Mohammed famously claimed, it “cures everything but death”! We are not suggesting that you rush out and buy a bottle of the oil expecting it to miraculously solve any and every health problem, but we certainly feel it is worth further investigation and research into it, if you were so inclined! At Zavana, we chose to use this oil topically, as a superb natural ingredient in our Skin Rescue Balm, because it is packed with antioxidants and is a proven effective natural remedy for soothing dry, uncomfortable skin. Its antibacterial and antifungal properties also lend it to being very helpful for psoriasis and acne as well.
