Historically, Almonds (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis) were used to flavor foods, sweets, jams, cough syrups, and almond oil. They were also used to adorn the body and religious buildings and were carried during religious celebrations.

Medieval civilizations believed that almonds possessed many beneficial qualities, including cleansing the body, building stronger health, and avoiding intoxication by eating them while drinking.

Applied topically, almond oils and extracts, such as milk and liquids, are valued for their moisturizing abilities, especially on chapped hands and dry skin areas. They are also considered beneficial in removing spots and pimples from the skin. Ground almonds have been used in facial scrubs for exfoliating and slight beaching purposes.
