Grapeseed Oil is extracted from the seeds of the vitis vinifera botanical, the grape cultivated for wine. Often discarded, the seeds are actually the most nourishing part of the plant. 

This potent oil is even referenced in the Bible, in a dish called Pulse, which the Prophet Daniel is said to have eaten for its health-enhancing properties.

Medical practitioners in Ancient Europe used all parts of the grape in medicinal treatments, especially to create ointments used on ailments of the skin and the eyes. The leaves were used as bandages to help stop the flow of blood in wounds and to soothe inflammation associated with hemorrhoids. Unripe grapes were eaten to relieve constipation and the discomfort of over-eating. Overly ripe grapes were used to address nausea and skin diseases such as smallpox. Dried grapes are better known as raisins, which naturally relieve constipation and liver problems.
