Use in Skin Care and Remedies

A flowering summer meadow delights us with the multitude of colour produced by the merging of the individual flowers. If you let your gaze wander into the distance it is almost impossible to pick out an individual species. However, wild carrot quickly catches your eye. It is not only its size that makes it stand out but also its upright nature and the way in which it towers gracefully above the other flowers. Entirely centred and at peace with itself, it appears to have a heavenly eye open, its purple flower pointing to its centre like a sign.

Centring is the theme of the carrot. Even when it has faded the flower retains this gesture by curving inwards to form a protective cup around the centre of the bloom. And this centring quality of the carrot helps people who are no longer able to focus their energy and thoughts as a result of too many external influences and demands. As the mirror of the soul the skin often suffers when this is the case. And so it is easy to see why the carrot supports the natural functions of the skin.

In the cultivated garden carrot the colour of the purple central flower has effectively shifted downwards into the root region. This reveals the carrot as a master in playing with polarities, an expert in combining opposites. This property makes it particularly suitable for helping combination skin types reconcile extremes and regain a healthy balance.
