Heal Cesarean Section Scars
with oil of Helichrysum Italicum

Helichrysum italicum flowers are bright yellow and daisy-like in appearance. They grow wild in France and are collected and prepared into an essential oil. Helichrysum has a pungent herbaceous aroma that is best softened with rounding oils like lavender or rosewood. Like many of the pure flower essential oils on the market today, helichrysum italicum is expensive. It is used in limited quantities most often to heal a variety of skin problems.

Helichrysum italicum is a powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic. It is effective in preventing infection, healing and diminishing the appearance of cesarean section scars. Helichrysum increases lymphatic flow and circulation to the cesarean section scar. It promotes and protects new healthy skin cells. The hard inflamed cesarean section scar will be soothed and conditioned with the application of helichrysum italicum essential oil.

Three- Four weeks after your cesarean section scar has healed ask your doctor if you can begin to use a botanical salve, butter or oil with helichrysum italicum as a key ingredient. If your doctor gives consent apply the butter, salve or oil up to three times a day for a period of three to six months. There is one caution with helichrysum italicum essential oil and that is abstaining from use if you are taking anti-coagulation medication.

Helichrysum italicum can also be effective in healing the following skin conditions: stretchmarks, bruises, sore nipples, cracked skin, itchy skin, inflamed skin, contusions, hematomas, varicose veins, sunburn, eczema, wounds, warts, old scars, acne scars, surgical scars
