Sunburn Care - Essential Oils to Use & Methods of Application for Best Results

By KG Stiles

FAST RELIEF FOR SUNBURN with a synergistic blend of pure essential oils.
A synergistic blend of essential oils can be more effective for getting the results you desire than any single essential oil. The pure essential oils I recommend you use in a blend for sunburn care, include:
Lavender, German Chamomile, Blue Tansy, Rose and Helichrysum
These fast acting oils relieve pain and promote healing of sun damaged skin cell tissues.

LAVENDER ( Lavendula augustifolia ) - is the most commonly used essential oil and the absolute classic oil for treating burns!

During the early 20th century, French chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse became interested in the use of essential oils for their medicinal properties. While working Gattefosse accidentally burned his arm very badly!

On reflex Gattefosse plunged his burned arm into a large vat of lavender oil. His burn healed rapidly and there was absolutely NO scarring of tissue! Gattefosse is credited with coining the term "aromatherapy" in his 1928 article supporting the use of essential oils in their whole, pure and unadulterated state.

Apply Lavender immediately to burns to prevent blistering, or scarring, as well as speed healing of wounds as it stimulates cellular repair and regeneration.

GERMAN CHAMOMILE ( Matricaria recutita) - an analgesic (pain reliever) and one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory (controls and alleviates inflammation resulting from burns) in aromatherapy. Its action is also antispasmodic (calms nerves) and sedative (soothing, tranquilizing and calming).

German Chamomile has a long history of helping skin conditions, often used for treating burns, and my first Choice for relieving inflamed or irritated skin.

BLUE TANSY (Tanacetum anuum ~ Moroccan Blue Chamomile) - Its high azulene content give Blue Tansy its rapid anti-inflammatory action (immediately calms the nervous system), making it an excellent first aid remedy for sun damaged skin.

ROSE OTTO ( Rosa damascena ) - Excellent beauty oil for skin care, harmonizing for ALL skin types. Rosa damascena's skin nourishing action makes it a useful addition to most facial and skin care formulas. Rose Otto's cooling effect is ideal for soothing sensitive or inflamed cell tissue.
Rose oil promotes cellular regeneration.

HELICHRYSUM ( Helichrysum italicum ssp serotinum ) - Traditionally the finest quality Helichrysum for therapeutic use has been grown and distilled in Corsica.

Helichrysum Immortelle has a highly regenerative nature and is one of the strongest essential oils for relieving inflammation. Its ability to prevent swelling and inflammation and to accelerate the formation of new tissue is legendary.

Helichrysum protects newly formed cells! It's notable skin regenerating activity is superior to any other essential oil.

Generally Helichrysum will work for all conditions in which inflamed tissues need to be calmed down and regenerated.

METHODS OF APPLICATION:
Both of these methods of application are effective for relieving pain and promoting healing of sun damaged skin cell tissues. Research shows that essential oils will remain in your bloodstream for up to 4-6 hours.

METHOD 1: Dispense 15-30 drops of your essential oil synergy blend into a 2 ounce colored dispensing bottle half-filled with pure aloe gel, shake mixture well to thoroughly disperse the essential oils in the gel then top off the dispensing bottle with aloe gel and shake well to disperse your oils in the gel. Allow the oils to synergize in the aloe gel for 24 hours, or longer as time permits.

Lightly apply your sunburn care aloe gel to sunburned skin. Repeat 1-3 times daily, or as needed for pain relief and healing of sun damaged skin.

METHOD 2: Aromatic Sunburn Care Body Mist
DIRECTIONS - Dispense 15-30 drops of your pure essential oils blend into a colored glass atomizer bottle filled with pure water. Shake well and lightly mist skin for fast relief of pain and to promote healing of sun damaged tissue. Repeat 1-3 times daily, or as needed.

PLEASE NOTE: There are many cheap, synthetic copies of aromatic oils, but these are not recommended for therapeutic use. For best results purchase the highest quality oils you can possibly find. Use certified organic essential oils, or oils that have been tested and are pesticide free.

Holistic MindBody Therapy, including pure essential oils, are gentle, noninvasive complementary forms of health care for balancing and synchronizing your body, mind and spirit and a natural, safe and effective way to enhance your health and well-being. Alternative health care may produce satisfying results where other methods have failed. Please consult with your physician regarding serious health concerns and do not attempt to self diagnose.
