General Profile:
Wheat germ Oil
is oil is made from the germ of the wheat - the heart of it. The wheat
grain consists of three parts - the husk, the germ and the endosperm -
and it is the germ that is used in the manufacture of the oil. Although
the germ only constitutes 3% of the weight of a wheat grain, it contains
nearly 25% of the protein, vitamins and minerals. Wheatgerm oil is very
high in vitamin E and essential fatty acids. Because of its high vitamin
E content, which is a natural antioxidant which helps to prevent
rancidity, it is often added to other carriers to help lengthen their
shelf life and to prevent them going off. When used in massage blends it
may be too heavy on its own, but it has great nourishing qualities which
makes it a good choice to include when mixing a massage blend or
preparing a carrier blend. It has a slight nutty aroma and is extracted
by cold pressing or solvent extraction from the "germ."
With its high vitamin E content and essential fatty acids is used
extensively in aromatherapy massage blends since it is said to promote a
smoother, younger looking skin, assisting in healing scar tissue as well
as stretch marks. It is too sticky to use on its own, but is wonderful
when blended with a lighter carriers, such as sweet almond. When it is
applied topically on to the skin it is said to help promote the
formation of new cells, improve circulation, and is said to help repair
sun damage to the skin. It is also used to help relieve the symptoms of
dermatitis. This carrier is said to stimulate tissue regeneration and is
often added to other blends because of its antioxidant properties.
