USES :
The
Apricot Seeds were Historically used to treat tumors
as early as AD 502. It was used against tumors and ulcers in England in the
1600s. Arab doctors where known to recommend the oil extracted from apricot
stones to cure hemorrhoids, aching noses and earache. They also used it to
help to regulate, moisturize and restructure the skin. Apricot kernel oil
has moisturizing, nourishing and revitalizing properties and it is
particularly helpful for dehydrated, delicate, mature and sensitive skin,
and it helps to sooth inflammation. This finely textured oil spreads easily
and is particularly rich in both oleic acid and linoleic acid.
Culinary :

and used to make juice.
Fruits are used to make brandy and liqueurs.
Apricot juice can be used in place of water when making pancakes. Juice can
be poured over cooked oatmeal. It can also be used in place of water when
cooking curried lamb and salted rice.
Facial Mask :
In blender place enough fresh apricots with a tiny bit of water to measure
a total of 1 cup. Coarsely chop or slice a peeled, halved avocado without
the pit and place in the blender. Blend until the mixture is a smooth, even
consistency. Then add a dollop of olive oil and blend for another minute or
two. Apply this mask in thin uniform layer over the face and neck and throat
and leave on for 45 minutes. Rinse off with water. This is best done in the
early evening (2 or 3 times per week). Each evening put a little heavy dairy
cream or half-and-half into a bowl with the juice of half a lemon. Blend
well. Before retiring for the evening and using only enough to cover areas
previously cleansed with the mask, use a cotton ball to gently massage the
skin using a rotating action. Go to bed and in the morning gently bathe face
with barley or oatmeal soap.
Facial Mask (for dull skin) :
Mash a fresh apricot to a pulp and pat on the skin. Do this every other
day. Allow to remain for 10 minutes and then rinse.
Facial Mask (using dried apricots) :
Be sure the fruit is free of sulphur dioxide (used as a preservative). Soak
overnight in enough water to cover the fruit. The next day cook gently at a
low temperature til soft. Mash the warm stewed fruit to a soft pulp and
apply a thin layer to the face and throat. Wear for 10 minutes and then
rinse away.
