What you should know about Pracaxi oil Before using it Totally unknown on the USA market until 5 years ago, due to its extraordinary therapeutic healing properties, Pracaxi has become one of the most sought after oil as for using in therapeutic massage, a healing oil for all types of skin disorders as for using in cosmetic formulations. Pracaxi is an oil extracted from seeds of a ian tree and only harvested from Feb to May each year. It is not cultivated, therefore supply of the oil is limited to its harvesting season. Tests on the therapeutic properties of Pracaxi oil have been carried out using both the raw, unrefined oil as it has been used for centuries by the ian populations, as well as with the highly refined oil. _________________________________________________________________________ The results have shown that refined Pracaxi oil loses all its therapeutic medicinal properties being comparable to any ordinary oil with high Oleic acid content. _____________________________________________________________________ The reason is simple: during the refined processing the flavanoids, the non- fatty acid content responsible for the medicinal therapeutic properties of the Pracaxi oil is destroyed. _________________________________________________________________________ The higher Pracaxi oil demand is causing what, should not, but is expected: knowing or not, there are a lot of companies selling highly refined Pracaxi oil as is it was unrefined. Therefore, if you are looking for the therapeutic properties of Pracaxi oil make sure you are buying authentic UNREFINED Pracaxi oil from a reliable company and make the test: ________________________________________________________________________ UNREFINED Pracaxi oil is light to gold yellow and solidifies, like a butter, at around 75F. Therefore if you are looking for authentic unrefined practical oil make sure you get the right thing.

Beautiful Oil
I used this in a home made body butter as well as undiluted for the scars on my son's back. They faded within a week. I also had a very old 4 inch scar on the inside of my forearm that never quite faded. After 2 months of using this oil combined with other butters, my scar is now gone. A little goes a long way. It has an exotic, nutty smell.
