Rhiannon used:
Essential oils:
- Melissa Melissa officianalis 0.5 ml
- Ravintsara Cinnamomum camphora ct 1,8 cineole 2.0 ml
- Thymus vulgaris ct thymol 0.5 ml
- Niaouli Melaleuca quinquenervia 2.0 ml
Fixed Oils:
- Tamanu Calophyllum inophyllum 1.0 ml
- St. John's Wort infused oil Hypericum perforatum 2.0 ml
- Rose Hip Seed Oil Rosa Mosqueta 5.0 ml
The goals of the intervention were to exert a directly anti-viral effect, to promote skin healing, to reduce the risk of scarring, and to strengthen immune deficiencies.
The fixed oils chosen were known to assist with wound healing and skin regeneration.
The mixture was applied directly to the lesions three times a day, using a cotton swab soaked in the blend. By the second day, all lesions were reduced in size; by day five all lesions were completely resolved. No skin irritation was observed.
(If any signs of irritation had been observed, the mother had been instructed to add another 5 ml of St. John's Wort infused oil to the mixture, to dilute it further.)
