Thanks to their healing and anti-inflammatory properties , certain essential oils are adapted to fight effectively against pimples of all kinds. Among the essential oils "miracles" we find, among others, the Tea Tree (or tea tree), lavender or ravinsara. By following specific recipes we can eliminate acne, hives and herpes in no time. In massage or skin , we choose the recipe that suits us: if the area to be treated is very large, we prefer a treatment massage version in which the essential oils are mixed with vegetable oils. Before starting, take the usual precautions. O does not use essential oils on children under 6 years, nor on pregnant women . In the summer, we check that our essential oil is not photosensitizing and that it will not cause stains on the skin or even burning sensation.
I have an acne pimple
In massage or skin application, we have the choice.
- For the massage version , it is the essential oil of tea tree which one needs. In the dropper bottle, 25 ml of nutty vegetable oil is mixed with 25 drops of tea tree essential oil. We pour a few drops of the hollow of the hand, then we mass the affected areas (face and upper back). We take care to absorb the surplus with a paper tissue that is gently placed on the acne area. The operation is repeated once a day on clean skin.
- For the cutaneous version , one has the choice between the essential oil of tea tree OR that of fine lavender OR that of Roman chamomile. When an acne button disturbs us before an important event: we put on a cotton swab 1 drop of essential oil (to choose) before applying it on the button in question. Simple but effective.
A cold sore spoils my life
If you have herpes, no choice, it is in cutaneous application that the essential oils are used. Twice a day (once in the morning, once in the evening, but always on clean and cleansed face ), one drops either a drop of essential oil of tea tree or a drop of lavender, alternating the essences for more efficiency. We aim well at the center of the pimple, and we continue the treatment until the complete cure.
SOS urticaria
Rather massage or cutaneous version, you choose.
- For the massage version , we use lavender essential oil, rose geranium essential oil and chamomile essential oil. In a dropper bottle, 25 ml of vegetable oil of calendula are mixed with 10 drops of lavender, 10 drops of rose geranium and 10 drops of chamomile. During a crisis, we pour some drops on the area that we mass fingertips. The procedure is repeated 3 to 5 times a day to calm the itching.
- For the cutaneous application , to favor only if the zone to be treated is small one uses lavender essential oil. We take 2 drops of lavender that is placed on the area to be treated and taps with the fingertip. In case of crisis, this technique is used 2 to 3 times a day.
