Avocado Oil

General use:

Avocado oil is high in oleic acid, a type of fatty acid. It is the high percentage (63 percent) of oleic acid that allows the oil to absorb deeply into the skin. If you would like to use avocado oil to help soften and soothe very dry, chapped skin, all you need to is massage a small amount into the skin.

Primary Benefits:

• Reduce Cholesterol and improve heart health
• Reduce symptoms of arthritis
• Improves skin and Enhance wound healing
• Prevent gum disease

Strengthens your skin

The vitamins and minerals in avocado oil are not only nourishing for the inside of your body, they can also feed you from the outside in. Avocado Oil boosts your skin’s ability to generate stronger cells by moisturizing. The vitamin E, potassium, and lecithin which are the primary skin-feeding nutrients in the oil are all easily absorbed through the epidermis – the outermost layer of the skin – and into the dermis where they provide energy for the growth and health of new skin as well as fortification of existing cells.

Detoxifies your body

Avocado oil is loaded with chlorophyll – a natural source of super-healthy magnesium. It is one of the best-known natural substances for removing heavy metals like mercury and lead from the liver, kidneys, brain, and other organs. Chlorophyll binds the metal ion to itself, rendering the previously toxic element harmless before passing out of the body through the bowels.

Accelerate wound healing

Just as avocado oil helps the body to grow healthier and stronger skin, it can also speed up the healing process. Once you’ve thoroughly cleaned the affected area, try treating damaged skin caused by cuts, scrapes, burns, raw skin from blisters or rashes, sunburn, bug bites and stings, and other wounds with a drop or two of avocado oil. Your skin will knit up faster and with less chance of scarring.

Improves Digestion

Try adding avocado oil to your food to assist with gas, bloating, heartburn and more. The vitamins, minerals, and monounsaturated fatty acids in avocado oil all help the digestive tract to process food more efficiently. While this won’t fix the problem overnight, you might be surprised at how quickly you’ll begin to feel better, have more energy, and even start to lose weight as a result!

Keeps your heart healthy

Avocado oil has an unusually high concentration of beta-sitosterol, a type of cholesterol which our bodies can use to convert less healthy fats into forms which are more usable and less damaging to cells. Because avocado oil is anti-inflammatory, it can help to prevent damage to arterial walls which in turn lowers the risk of heart disease caused by plaque deposits. Furthermore, less inflammation in the arteries means avocado oil can also go a long way toward keep blood pressure at normal, healthy levels.
