Calophyllum (Foraha or Tamanu)

This unusual green carrier, cold pressed from the fruit of a shrub that grows in Madagascar, is believed to have pain relieving effects, making it useful for rheumatism, arthritis, sciatica, facial neuralgie, etc. Useful for lesions due to herpes and/or shingles (especially with the addition of Ravensara Aromatica Essential Oil.)

Sometimes recommended for treatment of physical and chemical burns. The oil may be used as a base oil or an additive.  It has been shown to be non-irritating to the mucous membranes which may make it useful in treating anal fissures, vaginitis and on cracked nipples.

Some sources recommend it for cellular regeneration, saying it is a powerful healer for burns, cuts, etc. Donna Maria recommends it in mature skincare blends. It may also help with eczema, burns, rashes and insect bites. I have seen it recommended in skincare blends for mature skin, and seen a lot of folks talking about using it to help relieve eczema.

Price recommends its use for various problems of the scalp and hair.

Studies have shown that its antiinflammatory and pain relieving properties are equally present when used at between 25 and 50% of the complete carrier oil blend, so using it at 100% would seem to be wasteful.
