It is worth noting that this action only occurs when the seeds react with water or indeed saliva. The cold pressed oil therefore does not have these properties and can be safely used topically.

It is considered to be a something of a miracle oil for the skin and hair tonic that will staunch wounds and even prevent one from going grey.
