Key benefits
Almond oil regulates cholesterol, reduces the risk of heart disease, stabilises blood sugar levels and protects against diabetes, promotes a healthy weight, keeps the intestines and rectum healthy, deals with ear infections and is an ideal remedy for skin and hair care.
1. Benefits for the cardiovascular system: Almond oil consists of 70% monounsaturated fat, which has been studied for its effects on heart health. Monounsaturated fats have been shown to raise levels of “good” HDL cholesterol while lowering levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol. One study found that a diet rich in almond oil significantly lowered both LDL and total cholesterol levels while raising HDL cholesterol by 6%.
2. A powerful antioxidant: Almond oil is a great source of vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant. In fact, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of almond oil provides 26% of the recommended daily intake. It is excellent at fighting free radicals, which cause a number of chronic diseases, including cancer and heart disease.
Studies show that a higher intake of vitamin E may help reduce the risk of heart disease, age-related macular degeneration and cognitive decline in older people.
3. Stabilises blood sugar levels and protects against diabetes: Adding almond oil to your diet may help keep your blood sugar stable. Replacing carbohydrates with unsaturated fats helps lower blood sugar levels and improves insulin resistance and HbA1c levels, a marker of long-term blood sugar control.
4. As part of a healthy diet, it helps with weight loss: Many people avoid fat when trying to lose weight, but eating the right kinds of fat can help with weight loss. Diets rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats have been shown to reduce body fat and promote weight loss.
5. Benefits for the skin and hair: Almond oil is a popular ingredient in natural beauty products. This is due to its softening properties, which help prevent water loss from the skin. This quality makes almond oil an excellent choice for keeping the skin, hair and scalp soft and hydrated. Thanks to its high vitamin E content, almond oil protects the skin from sun damage and premature ageing. The oil is also an excellent choice for fighting stretch marks.

Description
The almond is a small deciduous tree originating in South-West Asia.
In the past, eating almonds was very popular for treating the diseases of the wealthy because of their strong antioxidant properties. To this day the nut is considered a royal fruit. Although almonds are usually called nuts, they are actually the seeds found in the centre of the almond fruit, which closely resembles a peach. They are very rich in fat, which makes them a perfect source of oil.
Almond oil is extracted by cold pressing these seeds. The oil consists mostly of monounsaturated fatty acids, with polyunsaturated and small amounts of saturated fats. It is rich in vitamin E and minerals such as potassium, calcium and phosphorus. Overall, its benefits are due mainly to its unsaturated fatty acids. It has a light texture, is easily absorbed by the skin, is hypoallergenic and is suitable for baby skin. Almond oil is a multifunctional product that can be used both as a food and as a natural skin and hair care product.
