Carrot Seed
Botanical Name: Daucus carota Botanical Family: Apiaceae (Umbelliferae)
Quick Facts
Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
Part Used: Dried Seeds
Aroma Note: Middle to Base Note
The Profile
Carrot Seed essential oil is distilled from the seeds of "Queen Anne’s Lace," a wild carrot variety. Unlike the bright orange root we eat, this oil is a pale yellow to amber liquid. Its aroma is deeply earthy, warm, and woody, with a lingering dry-herbaceous undertone. While Lawless notes its scent is "not always appreciated" on its own, its therapeutic value makes it indispensable.
Therapeutic Actions
Antiseptic, Carminative, Cytophylactic (stimulates cell growth), Depurative (detoxifying), Diuretic, Emmenagogue, Hepatic, and Tonic.
Usage & Benefits
Skin: This is its crowning glory. It is highly prized for revitalizing "tired" or mature skin, increasing elasticity, and smoothing wrinkles. It is frequently used for eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.
Digestive: Known to support the liver and gallbladder. Its been highlighted in its use in "cleaning" the digestive system and helping with the elimination of toxins.
Circulatory/Lymphatic: Acts as a powerful detoxifier and blood purifier. It is often used to treat water retention and joint issues like gout or rheumatism by assisting the body in flushing out uric acid.
Emotional Benefit
Carrot Seed is a deeply grounding oil. It is "clearing and comforting," helping to wash away feelings of being overwhelmed. It provides a sense of inner strength and stability when life feels chaotic, essentially "rooting" the mind.
The "At Home" Remedies
Mature Skin Serum: Add 2 drops of Carrot Seed to 10ml of Rosehip or Jojoba oil. Apply nightly to support skin regeneration and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Detox Bath: Mix 3 drops of Carrot Seed and 3 drops of Juniper Berry into 1 cup of Epsom salts. Dissolve in a warm bath to help the body process and release toxins.
Scalp Tonic: Add 2 drops to your final hair rinse to nourish a dry scalp and encourage healthy, shiny hair growth.

A powerhouse blend for skin health and emotional grounding.
