Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I have a family member who sent me the following email, would love to hear your suggestions..... My 3 year old split her head open, it was medically glued but got infected and scabbed and fell off several times. As a result she has been left with a 1 inch scar but it is indented rather than raised and is getting bigger as she grows. It is around 6 months old. Which oil(s) would you recommend and what is the best method of application/duration? Thanks! Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'd mix some olive, peanut(if not allergic to nuts), castor, coconut oils and add a bit of Tea Tree Essential oil to the mix. Also Geranium EO is good for scarring and rebuilding skin tissue.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 My son had the same thing happen, only he had actual stitches. We put vitamin E on it for about a month or so, now we make sure to cover it with sunscreen. His is looking really good.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hi Rachel I made a blend of oils that has proven very successful. I sell a ton of this. It is very effective for surgical scars and can be applied as soon as the bandages come off. Many a surgeon has taken a double take of the persons chart when they see how fast a scar has healed and cant believe its been such a short time. Thing is you have to go and get stitches out much earlier or they will be sealed in. I have many a story that people have shared with me on how this helped them, from healing broken bones, to easing pain in an ankle break that just would not heal (over 6 months) until this was oil was used. I will share the recipe with you. Just mix and put in a 1 oz bottle. 20 grams Emu Oil - the deepest penetrating oil 5 grams Rosehip Oil - more generally recognized for scars 20 drops Helichrysum Essential Oil from Corsica - can't say enough good things about this essential oil 10 drops Natural Vitamin E I recommend applying this 20 times a day. That way people will probably do it 10 times a day. You just need a few drops each time. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Rosehip oil has been clinically proven to diminish scars due to its high levels of trans retinoic acid. I use it in a facial cream. I used to have acne scarring and it has completely disappeared. If I was to create a scar oil, I would blend 2% helichrysum to rosehip oil. This would be gentle enough for a 3 year old.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hi Rachel, I can understand about scars. Major ones. Back in 2003 I had a tummy tuck with an incision that went from hip to hip. Also had some breast surgeries too. So I didn't want to have a scar from any of that so did some reading and did some testing. I developed the following blend and used it once or twice a day for several weeks. My husband can vouch for me and say the only place he can see the scar is where the skin is a little puckered funny from where the drain tubes were placed and you really don't see a scar just a funny pucker. On my breasts the scars are non-existant, they are gone. One thing about this blend, is it does help the nerves to regenerate. Anyone that has had major surgery can tell you that the skin aroung the incision and and the incision itself, will be numb and have little feelings for quite some time. The this numbness is not the same as the pain you initially feel that the nerves/skin being severed. That pain disappears and then there is no sensations. For me I originally had no feeling of the sense of touch, pain nor the sensation of heat or cold to the skin on my whole abdominal area. Nerves can take a long time to heal and in some cases with the skin, you nerves never regain sensation. Well, using what I call the Scar Lightening blend, not only did my scars lighten and fade away, but almost all my sensations - touch, pain and heat have all returned except a small spot about the size of a 50 cent piece - where my belly button used to be. (I don't have one any more as it was destroyed - another weird long story). Anyway, my point here is that the blend works and we sell alot of it. Only a few drops are needed - a thin layer applied gently on the scar. Applied a couple times a day is all you need to do. The recipe is as follows. And like I said I know it works as you can no longer see my 25 inch incision! (nor the others) My Scar Blend Recipe Helichrysum Corsica - 1 ml Lavender - 1 ml Sage - 10 drops Neroli - 5 drops Rosehip seed oil 1 oz Hazelnut oil 1 oz. We also sell it premixed on our website.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Infused oil of plantain will work too. Though the rosehip/helichrysum combiation sounds more elegant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
