Written By Serene Hitchcock / Reviewed By Ray Spotts

There are several different oils that go by more than one name. They typically are known by their most popular name in different areas of the world. For today's exploration we are going to delve into the properties and abilities of kapok seed oil which is more commonly known as cottonseed oil.

An oil that has been around in historical contexts for many years, all the way back to 3500 BC, it was often used in various practices and for the purposes of cooking. Here are some of the most common benefits associated with cottonseed oil.

Great For The Skin

Because it is high in vitamin E, which is otherwise known as the skin vitamin, this vitamin helps to protect skin from the gnarly and ubiquitous free radicals that roam throughout the atmosphere. There are so many facets that we sometimes may not think about that influence the presence of free radicals - smoke, pollution, UV sunlight rays and the list goes on.

This particular oil will help to banish those pesky skin disruptors. It's also very good for skin because it's naturally high in antioxidants. The skin is nourished and restored in the presence of antioxidants.

Lowers Cholesterol

Many variations of kapok seed oil are food grade and can be used in cooking. It provides a great nutty flavor to dishes and is a great oil base for salad dressings. However, the taste of the oil isn't the most positive or interesting thing about it. In fact, this oil works well internally because it helps to regulate cholesterol levels.

For those who struggle with their cholesterol, try incorporating kapok seed oil into your diet and see if your levels don't improve after a month or so.

Has Anti-Asthmatic Qualities

One of the most popular uses for this oil in historic contexts was as an aid for respiratory and lung issues. This means that it allows the lungs to function at their optimal level by getting rid of the congestion and blockages that may be impeding the way a person breathes.

You can take a few drops of this oil and mix it with an oil like coconut. Apply it to the chest for symptom relief. Struggling to breathe is not something that anyone should go through. As such, any bit of help you can get from outside sources is ideal.

Provides Better Sleep

Getting an adequate amount of sleep is an essential part of leading a healthy and fruitful life. Because there is so much about lifestyle and responsibilities that can be incredibly taxing and cumbersome, properly resting your body is essential.

Refueling and getting an adequate amount of rest is absolutely necessary. The properties within this oil can help to provide relaxation and peace. The cotton-like fibers themselves are actually used to make pillows because of these properties.

Whether in oil form or original form, kapok seed can afford you the type of sleep you so desperately have been lacking. The importance of good sleep can't be overstated.
