The pequi is a fruit that many haven't even heard of. It is indigenous to Brazil and those who are familiar with its abilities sing its praises. Some even think that the fruit has magical powers. Considered one of the rarest found fruits, its very popular amongst those who can get their hands on it.

Now there is a better way with the oil. There have been studies conducted about the effectiveness of pequi oil and there are some key reasons why it's such a big hit. Here are some of the ways in which pequi oil can be effectively used.

Levels Out Blood Pressure

Whether you have an issue with blood pressure that is too high or too low, this oil will help bring it back into a healthy balance. High blood pressure puts a lot of unnecessary stress and tension on your heart and other parts of your body.

Having blood pressure that is too high has been linked to the onset of many health issues such as heart disease and stroke. The minerals and vitamins within pequi oil, namely the potassium, helps to ease the blood vessels which aid in the proper functioning of your blood stream. Normal blood pressure ranges are vital for living a productive, healthy life.

Relieves Pain

If you're the type of person that often has to deal with aches and pains because of your active lifestyle or if you are constantly on the go and your muscle pain is a pesky, nagging sensation you just can't seem to quell, this oil is exactly what you need.

Pequi oil is actually on the rise in use amongst athletes. It reduces muscle and joint pain because of its inherent anti-inflammation properties. Just a couple of drops, mixed in with a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba, will do the trick. Rub the oil on your sore and aching joints as needed.

Moisturizer

Keeping your skin properly hydrated is one of the most important steps in skin care. Many think that cleansing is the most vital step but failing to moisturize your skin can be disastrous for your face and body. One of the first precursors to those dreaded signs of aging is dry skin.

Dry skin is more susceptible to wrinkles, fine lines and even sagging. This oil is incredible at keeping the skin supple and well moisturized. A little goes a long way as you can also use it as a body moisturizer. Every inch of your skin will thrive with pequi oil.

Great For Hair

This is one of the best oils to incorporate into your hair care routine if you are looking for a way to make your hair silky, shiny and healthy. There is a fine line between hair that is greasy and hair that looks healthy and shines beautifully.

Pequi oil will definitely have your hair doing the latter. Its naturally conditioning elements won't weigh your hair down but will instead add to its radiance and luster. This oil is the perfect serum for soft, gorgeous hair.
