Benefits Of Musk Essential Oil

By Kenneth Harris


Essential oils are a dime a dozen extracted from both organic and inorganic sources. Musk oil is a type of essential oil extracted organically from the musk or pheromones of male deer, excreted from their sexual glands. Musk essential oil can also be produced synthetically in the lab. However, there are rumors being circulated about the aphrodisiac quality inherent in this oil.

A lot goes into producing this pure animalistic oil from that natural source; the deer. Tens of deer will have to be killed to produce just one kilo of this oil. This has led to the serious endangerment of the male deer. Hence the rarity and scarcity of the oil as it is even more valuable than its weight in gold. In trying to find a solution to its scarcity, science and technology has made it possible to manufacture this oil the synthetic way. Several oils such as Ambrette seed oil, Rose petal essential oil and Amber oil among several others are mixed in the lab using some predefined formula to manufacture the oil.

Application of musk as medication dates back to ancient Indian times in curing coughs, fever, heart disease, stomach aches and even nervous disorders. Reference has also been made to its use as a perfume by Arabs and the Byzantine of the 6th century. This oil has found many applications in daily lives. This essential oil has a beautiful fragrance in addition to curative benefits. It is a major ingredient in medicines for treatment of a wide range of health complications. In addition, many people use it as a relaxing agent as well as softening and smoothening of the skin.

With a distinctive smell, lightness and long-lasting quality, this pure animalistic oil is used as an ingredient in the manufacture of body creams and lotions, insect repellants, deodorants and perfumes.

Due to the lesser chemicals that go into the manufacture of the oil, the chance of experiencing some serious side effects from its application is minimal when compared to other essential oils. So one can be rest assured when using it.

Inhalation of this pure animalistic oil through the nose when suffering from a cold can relief one of sniff and sneeze discomfort because of its anti-inflammatory activity. Its application on the tummy to relief aches has also been found very effective.

Due to advances in technology, the synthetic type can easily be mistaken for the organic one as the similarities are staggering. With this, the oil is readily available to be used in the medical and the cosmetic industries.

On this account, it is evident that this pure animalistic oil attracts much interest for its value and range of application. Due to its value because of the fact that it originates from the musk deer, these species are endangered to this day despite advancements in synthetic manufacture of the oil.
