Clarifying as a spice, Caraway Essential Oil is an ancient tonic for brain-strain. It has been used since Roman times as a cooking additive and an aperitif. In skincare, caraway is said to encourage a regenerated and revitalized appearance. Oily skin, blemish-prone skin, and dry scalp may all benefit from an application of caraway diluted in an organic carrier oil, too.
"You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a fruit fly and still have room enough for three caraway seeds and a producer's heart."
~ Fred Allen
"Caraway seeds have had culinary use since ancient times. They were popular with the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, and later throughout Europe and the Middle East. Use caraway to restore confidence, encourage fidelity, and to initiate changes."
~ Sandra Kynes, Mixing Essential Oils for Magic: Aromatic Alchemy for Personal Blends.
