The plant
Plant part: Seed plants
Origin: France
The wild carrot, originally from Europe, is very widespread on the side of the roads, in the meadows. Its liver and diuretics properties were cited in the 16th century. The essence is extracted from the seeds, harvested at the end of summer when the umbels close on themselves. Among the umbellifers, Daucus Carotta is distinguished by an original composition, mostly sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpénols. The aroma that emerges is intense, harsh and wooded. The sweetness of its action and its total absence of toxicity make it recommend to children.
Hydrolate tip: Use externally (skin cleaning) and internal (3 tablespoons/day for 3 weeks) to restore radiance to the face and have a luminous complexion.
What are the benefits of wild carrot
Wild carrot is a plant with many health benefits, particularly for detoxification. Its high antioxidant content helps eliminate toxins from the body and stimulate the immune system. Additionally, the active compounds in this plant promote better digestion by relieving difficult digestion problems. Its anti-inflammatory and healing properties also make it a valuable ally for improving the condition of the skin and hair. Finally, wild carrot is renowned for its anti-wrinkle effects, thanks to its ability to stimulate the production of collagen and maintain the suppleness of the skin. Incorporating this plant into your diet or skincare routine can therefore have beneficial effects on health and beauty.
