If you are looking for an affordable and completely natural high quality care, then the solution for you might be apricot kernel oil.
As many as 5,000 years ago the ancient Chinese physicians used this oil for the treatment of respiratory infections, pain in the ear and nose, hemorrhoids, ulcers and tumors.
During treatments they noted that it deeply moisturizes the skin, leaving it velvety and smooth.
Throughout the centuries, other countries traded goods and exchanged them for this oil, and in the 16th century this oil was worth almost as much as gold.
Pakistani tribe knows the secret
The Hunza people from the northern parts of Pakistan, known for their good health and longevity, are a living proof of health benefits of apricot kernels.
How important apricots are to them is shown by the fact that they measure the wealth of an individual by the number of apricot trees he has.
They have used them in their cuisine in all forms. The oil is used for frying, fuel, food seasoning and skin care and their women have a beautiful complexion.
It is believed they consume 200 times more vitamin B17 than us Westerners by taking about 30 to 50 seeds per day. Allegedly, there has never been a single case of cancer among them.

Apricot kernel oil is widely used in medicine and cosmetics.
It is rich in essential fatty acids such as oleic and linoleic acids, and vitamins A and E.
It is highly appreciated for its use in massage due to its deep action and rapid absorption. It is used for the care of all skin types.
This includes the most sensitive skin types such as baby skin and the elderly and problem skin prone to eczema, acne, dermatitis or psoriasis.
Some even consider it to be the best oil for hair and skin care since it gives a velvety feel, elasticity, clarity and suppleness.
Crushed apricot kernels are often used as a mask to exfoliate the face.
Apricot kernel oil is completely safe and can be used safely every day without harm to health or the environment. It is an excellent substitute for sweet almond oil in case of an allergy to nuts.
When mixed in equal proportions with St. John's Wort oil it has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
