Almond oil has been used for centuries to keep the skin healthy and moisturised. It is also applied in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for eczema and psoriasis. The large quantities of vitamin-E are very helpful as it is considered to help slow down the ageing process.

Aside from the therapeutic uses, almond oil is used in foods as a dressing or as cooking oil.

One should not use it to fry or heat at too high a temperature as that destroys the nutrients, this holds true for most such oils.
