The fruit (nuts) are hand gathered as they are said to yield the highest quality oil. The tree grows up to three meters tall, sporting cracked, black bark and elliptical, shiny leaves. The Tamanu tree blooms twice annually with fragrant, white flowers, which later yield clusters of yellow-skinned spherical fruit. Color : Green with a slight yellow hue Aromatic Description : Rich, woody-spicy oil bouquet Common Uses : Tamanu oil possesses significant antimicrobial qualities, as proven in antibacterial and anti-fungal tests. It contains powerful bactericide and fungicide agents that defeat human and animal pathogens. It is applied liberally to cuts, scrapes, burns, insect bites and stings, abrasions, acne and acne scars, psoriasis, diabetic sores, anal fissures, sunburn, dry or scaly skin, blisters, eczema, herpes sores, athletes’ foot, and the reduction of foot and body odour (makes for a fantastic, natural underarm deodorant). Tamanu oil is also massaged into the skin as it is reputed to relieve neuralgia, rheumatism, sciatica and even baby nappy rash. It can be applied neat to the skin or blended with a carrier oil. Consistency : thin to medium and Thicker at room temperature. A warm water bath can be used to liquefy this product if needed. Absorption : Absorbs into skin at average speed, slight oil feeling left on skin. History : Natives believed the Tamanu tree was a sacred gift of nature and that gods hid in its branches. It was their answer to skin protection from hot sun, high humidity and ocean wind. In the 1920s, Sister Marie-Suzanne, a nun stationed in Fiji, topically applied Tamanu oil to leprosy victims with positive results. Cautions : Persons with nut allergy should not use this oil.
