Some skin conditions like eczema often have extra Staphylococcus bacteria. Carrot seed oil might help relieve eczema by fighting it. Some people also add carrot seed oil to shampoo and conditioner to help nourish their scalp. An essential oil obtained from the seed has also been used cosmetically in anti-wrinkle creams. A strong decoction of the seeds and root make a very good insecticide. Historical Uses: fight infections, skin toning, eczema, psoriasis, skin infections, acne, pimples, antifungal, antibacterial, Staphylococcus Mystical Attributes: Historians claim the name of the flower refers to Queen Anne II who lived between 1665 and 1714. She had only one surviving child in all of her 18 pregnancies. Because of that fact, the flower is often associated with the loss of children. Some believe the flower got its name because while Queen Anne II was tatting white lace, she pricked her finger with the tatting needle, causing a drop of blood to fall on the lace. This is why the white flowers have dark red flowers in the center. Because Queen Anne’s Lace features delicate, lace-like flowers, it is associated with beauty, and many women added the flower to their baths in hopes of attracting love. The seeds, eaten, help women become pregnant. And carrots are eaten to promote lust and to cure impotence. Because the flower is sometimes referred to as “bishop’s flower,” it symbolizes safety, sanctuary, and refuge. Although another interpretation is due to the flower’s resemblance to a bird’s nest when it goes to seed—it then becomes the perfect symbol of the sanctuary of a happy home. Mystical Intentions: emotional neglect, abandonment, loss of will to live, depression, loss of children, beauty, attracting love, safety, sanctuary, refuge, happy home, fertility, lust, visions, scrying Smell: Has a very pungent, slightly unpleasant, damp earthy, musky aroma. Botany, Cultivation & Harvesting: Daucus Carota is native to temperate regions of Europe and southwest Asia, and is naturalized to North America and Australia. It is a biennial plant in the Apiaceae family that grows a rosette of leaves in the spring and summer, while building up the stout taproot that stores large amounts of sugars for the plant to flower in the second year. The leaves, produced from the stem nodes, are alternating and compound, and arranged in a spiral. The leaf blades are pinnate. When the seed stalk elongates, the tip of the stem narrows and becomes pointed, extends upward, and becomes a highly branched inflorescence. The stems grow to 60–200 cm (20–80 in) tall. Taproots typically have a conical shape, although cylindrical and round cultivars are available. The root diameter can range from 1 cm (0.4 in) to as much as 10 cm (4 in) at the widest part. The root length ranges from 5 cm (2.0 in) to 50 cm (20 in), although most are between 10 and 25 cm (4 and 10 in). The inflorescence is a compound umbel, and each umbel contains several umbellets. The first (primary) umbel occurs at the end of the main floral stem; smaller secondary umbels grow from the main branch, and these branch into third, fourth, and even later-flowering umbels. A large primary umbel can contain up to 50 umbellets, each of which may have as many as 50 flowers; subsequent umbels have fewer flowers…Flowers are small and white, sometimes with a light green or yellow tint. They consist of five petals, five stamens, and an entire calyx. The anthers usually dehisce and the stamens fall off before the stigma becomes receptive to receive pollen. The fruit that develops is a schizocarp consisting of two mericarps; each mericarp is an achene or true seed. The paired mericarps are easily separated when they are dry. Daucus carota is a common sight in dry fields, roadside ditches, open areas and wildflower fields, prefers full sun to part shade. Grows well in well-drained to dry soils, with low to moderate soil fertility. Flowering occurs from July to September. Plants die after flowering. Sow seeds directly where they are to grow, either in autumn or spring. With its long taproot, this plant does not transplant well. The seedlings might be mistaken for grass seedlings at first, as the cotyledons are linear, but the next set of leaves is more distinctive. Harvest entire plant in July when flowers bloom, and dry for later herb use. Collect edible roots and shoots in spring when tender. Gather seed in autumn. After harvesting, dry the roots thoroughly if not being used fresh. Grind into a powder and store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
