Biologically active substances contained in amaranth are necessary for the human body to carry out normal vital activity. From the seeds of this plant by cold pressing, amaranth oil is obtained. It is in it the content of useful elements reaches a maximum, and its use allows you to maintain health and achieve longevity.
On the composition and healing properties of amaranth oil.
The plant amaranth recently attracted much attention of scientists. This interest is explained by the fact that the latest research has shown that the potential of this plant makes it possible to use it not only for prevention purposes, but also for full-fledged treatment of a wide range of diseases.
Amaranth oil contains proteins, the amino acid composition of which is very close to the ideal protein by theoretical calculation, they are equated with human milk. In this case, the content of lysine (an essential amino acid) in amaranth oil is much higher than in other plants or their extracts. The lack of lysine in the body causes a low digestibility of food, in fact it passes through the intestine.
Also, amaranth is characterized by a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA): as indispensable, included in vegetable fats - linoleic and linolenic, and interchangeable - oleic, stearic and palmitic. In fact, only linoleic acid (its content reaches 77%) is irreplaceable, yet the remaining polyunsaturated fatty acids can be synthesized from it in the normal functioning of the body. So, in particular, arachidonic amino acid is synthesized from linoleic acid, and prostaglandins are already formed from it. Unfortunately, in our time absolutely healthy people practically do not occur. That is why nutritionists consider it important to have these two amino acids in the complex.
The lack of PUFA in the body provokes a metabolic disorder, but people do not notice it right away. PUFAs play a significant role in the formation and functioning of cell membranes. Thus, with their lack of proper operation of all cells of our body is impossible. In addition, the amaranth oil is rich in serotonin, choline, steroids, vitamins B, D and E, bile acids, xanthines, pantothenic acid, in a rare, easily digestible form contains tocotriene, etc.
But the most important and active component of amaranth oil is squalene. Its function is to capture oxygen and saturate tissues and organs. Squalene helps the human body to fight bacteria, tumor-like diseases and fungi. As recent studies show, it is the lack of oxygen that is one of the main causes of aging. In addition, it is squalene that promotes the recovery of the body after surgery, accelerates wound healing and, on the whole, improves immunity.
The history of the discovery of squalene is very interesting. It was first discovered in the liver of a deep-sea shark. As scientists believe, it is squalene that allows them to survive in difficult conditions of the sea depths. Naturally, the cost of squalene mined in this way is very high, and in the composition of amaranth oil it is contained in a considerable amount. Further research has shown that squalene is a natural component of the human skin, located directly in the sebaceous glands, which determines its wound healing properties and allows its application in both cosmetology and dermatology.
It is these properties of squalene that help the human body to restore its functions faster with harmful environmental influences. So, if you apply amaranth oil on the skin before the start of radiation therapy, even with an increase in the radiation dose, the restoration of the organs and systems is much faster.
As we see, oil can be used as a means of general improvement of the body, for the prevention, besides, amaranth oil can even treat diseases. It has a beneficial effect on the entire body, restores its protective properties, promotes the normalization of metabolism, lowers cholesterol in the blood, restores the activity of the immune and hormonal systems, improves the functioning of the liver and heart, removes toxins from the body and even strengthens the action of many medicines.
Diseases in which complex treatment with oil is possible:
- Diseases of the heart and blood vessels (angina pectoris, heart attack, stroke, hypertension, etc.);
- Tuberculosis;
- Various liver diseases (hepatitis, cirrhosis, etc.);
- Oncological diseases;
- Dermatological diseases (eczema, psoriasis, etc.);
- Diabetes;
- Gynecological diseases (endometritis, adnexitis, etc.);
- Immune system disorders;
- Skin and mucous ulcers, burns, pressure sores;
- Metabolic disorders;
- Various poisoning (food, alcohol, toxic drugs);
- Urological diseases;
- Anemia;
- Nervous exhaustion;
- Cachexia and dystrophy.
Apply the amaranth oil as follows:
When ingestion - in pure form for 1-2 teaspoons, twice or thrice a day, two hours after a meal, or thirty minutes before a meal. It can also be used for making various cold dishes (snacks, sauces, salads).
External amaranth oil is used for various skin diseases. Affected areas of the skin are lubricated twice a day, and after 15 minutes, the residual oil can be removed with a tissue.
In cosmetology, oil is used in various masks.
To achieve the maximum effect from the use of amaranth oil, it must be used in conjunction with drug therapy and it is necessary to consult your doctor.
