How to Make a Natural Scar Treatment

You don't have to live with them.

A scar treatment made of various natural oils can be used to help treat many scars. It can be used on an older scar that has already faded to a white or silver shade, but works best on a new scar that is still pink or purple in color. This treatment for scars works by helping to reduce their appearance over time.

Things You'll Need

• 1/4 cup calendula oil
• 1/4 cup hazelnut oil
• 1/4 cup wheat germ oil
• 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil
• 1 teaspoon of rose hip oil
• 5 drops carrot seed oil
• 5 drops lavender oil
• 5 drops frankincense oil

Instructions

1. Pour the calendula oil, hazelnut oil and wheat germ oil into a small mixing bowl. Gently whisk the oils together.

2. Continue to gently whisk the oil mixture together, while slowly drizzling in the rose hip oil, carrot seed oil, lavender oil, frankincense oil and vitamin E oil.

3. Apply a thin layer of the thoroughly mixed oil to the scar or scars. Allow the mixture to dry naturally. Apply this treatment once or twice a day. This treatment may take up to four weeks to show results.

4. Store your oil in a cool dark area, such as a medicine cabinet.
