Latin name: Daucus carota

Family: Umbelliferae

The carrot had great medicinal importance in the ancient world and its name comes from the Greek ‘Carotos’. Known for its carminative and hepatic properties, it has grown in popularity since the 16th century. It contains carotene, which is responsible for keeping skin, hair, teeth and gums healthy. The oil is a popular ingredient for flavoring liquors and some perfume compositions, as a food substitute. While it has a positive effect on the mind, it helps to relieve the feelings of stress and fatigue.

Effect on the skin – It improves the skin by its strengthening effect on red blood cells, adding tone and elasticity to your skin. It gives the skin a more ‘younger’ appearance and helps to remove ‘age-related skin’ spots. It is used with its formative effect on epidermal cells to prevent premature aging and wrinkles.
