Amazing fruit honestly. Shakespeare took apricot kernel oil for an aphrodisiac. In ancient China, apricots are considered the best promoters of the brain: it improves memory and inculcate in children the desire to learn.
For a long time in the US and several European countries apricot called "Armenian apple" (even in Latin apricot tree called Prunus armeniaca, Which means "Armenian tree"). Chinese historians, researchers are dissatisfied with the fact that Armenia is considered the birthplace of apricot, and believe that it is thanks to them that the Armenians were several varieties of apricot trees.
At one time, apricot fruit has been profitable for the charlatans
We are talking about apricot seeds, which have long been known to the Chinese and British medicine. They contain amygdalin (vitamin B17), Which was used in alternative medicine as a means for treating cancers. Then the FDA along with the American Medical Association and the American Cancer Society were strongly against the use of amygdalin in the fight against cancer.
The thing is that if it enters into the amygdalin organism enzymes decompose it into several connections, one of which we are all aware - cyanide. This is the strongest poison in nature. He "extinguishes" the cancer cells, but together with them and all the other living cells.
Amygdalin content in seeds of bitter variety apricots 5% (1.8 mg cyanine), and sweet - 1% (0.3 mg cyanine).
Perhaps, on the internet you, my dear readers, will find the version of the antitumor activity was cyanogenic glycosides, which are available in apricot pits. However, all the medical community with one voice declare that the harm from this for the body is greater than the possibility of cure!
In the United States for the promotion of apricot pits that are cured of cancer, you can get a serious deadline. At the same time these are charlatans, turning all the way, they say, took up arms against us pharmaceutical companies, we know how to overcome cancer, and these capitalists and the state, we are trying to to silence. To play on the emotions of cancer patients - it is disgusting.
What is so liked the "Armenian apples" in cosmetology
Let's start with apricot kernel oil. There is no danger for the cyanine body can not survive.
The oil of apricot pits contains retinol (vitamin A) and vitamin E. Retinol needs no introduction, he's a evens the complexion, removes wrinkles, treat acne, and in general one of the few who are able to reduce the signs of aging signs on the skin. Vitamin E - is the eternal companion of retinol in natural oils. Its main task - not to give content to oxidize rapidly under the influence of oxygen and sunlight. It is a powerful antioxidant, is not in vain it is called "vitamin of youth".
Retinol and vitamin E oil, apricot kernel properly. The presence of the tandem is already enough to attract the attention of cosmetics manufacturers.
And that's not all. Apricot kernel oil there is something to brag about. For example, unsaturated fatty acids (linoleic, linolenic, oleic, stearic, palmitic and palmitoleic acid). All this Guard fatty acids makes the oil is light in texture, moisturizes and softens the skin better than glycerin and accelerates cell renewal. Any microscopic skin damage (for example, the hard abrasive scrubs) Apricot oil quickly heal.
It is proved that the essential oil of bitter apricot (abbreviation in English - BAEO) is a promising natural component in the treatment of psoriasis. For the most curious - reference to research in NCBI.
The apricot kernel oil has vitamin K. Lack of vitamin K is manifested in the form of Spider veins on the face (rosacea). So that apricot kernel oil can solve even the issue of reducing rosacea and redness on the face.
And yet it has vitamin C and two important trace elements - potassium, and magnesium. Who knows what's good about a high concentration of potassium and magnesium, explain: they give in cosmetics very good calming effect that allows people with sensitive skin to use such means. In other words, oil of apricot pits very good friends with sensitive skin.
Now we go to the extract of apricot pulp. This component is also interesting.
The ripe fruit produces a lot of fruit acids:
- wine acidWhich stimulates cell renewal, working with deep wrinkles, moisturizes, cleans, and has a zero degree of risk;
- Apple acidWhich softens and dissolves dead skin cells, has potent anti-inflammatory effect and is involved in the bleaching freckles;
- citric acid, which helps to regulate the level of cosmetic product the acid-base balance.
In addition to the fruit acids in the mature fruit of the apricot tree a lot of selenium and zinc. This suggests that someone has oily skin type and enlarged pores - funds with apricot pulp help reduce sebum production and make the pores on the face less pronounced.
Also apricot pulp has B vitamins (B1, B2 and B15), about one of them I have already written in detail, he is able to disperse the blood in the skin (and where there is a healthy blood flow - there is life, cells work it's better). and, of course, vitamin C. Where without him in apricots :-)
And the last - milled apricot pits as part of scrubs and peels. Though I am an opponent of traditional scrubs, but the ground apricot proved as a mild exfoliant. They are even better than sugar scrubs, less injure the skin.
Which means with apricot note
If you are interested in anti-aging effect, it is possible to buy just apricot kernel oil. It is sold separately at a drugstore or cosmetic salons.
If you are not a fan of oil structures, then look at the Origins cosmetics. This will be a godsend for all: who wants high-quality moisture, nourish the skin and for the prevention of aging prevention. Strange that my review on Origins byutigoliki ignored and sophisticated ladies (and maybe it's in the local algorithm shows).
If you tired of how wide pores eat any foundation, then look at the masks and night cream with extract of apricot pulp. The same is true for all those who suffer from oily scalp.
In general, apricot - Rambo is for our skin. It gives scham of aging, will beat the shit from the sebaceous glands, kicking clear the epidermis of dead cells, well behaved in the eye area. And his scent is uplifting citrus better.
