Today I'm sharing two recipes (one in cream form and the other in an oil roll-on form) that serve multiple purposes, but I originally made them for my son's eczema. They are made using the Lavender and Melrose essential oils, which are good not only for eczema, but also cradle cap, contact dermatitis, and ring worm. This blend was also effective on a pesky spot on his arm that we believe was a irritation to wearing a watch.
Lavender-Melrose Cream For Eczema and More!
- 1 oz whipped coconut oil*
- 10 drops Lavender essential oil**
- 10 drops Melrose essential oil blend**
Whip to combine. Apply to skin for eczema, contact dermatitis or ringworm. For cradle cap, rub it into the scalp and then after a while gently use a soft baby brush or fine-tooth baby comb to work it through and gently slough off dead skin. Then rub baby's head with a warm wash cloth (and/or wash with a mild soap like Dr. Bronner's) to remove excess oil.
Lavender-Melrose Roll-On For Eczema and More!
- 5 drops Lavender essential oil**
- 3 drops Melrose essential oil blend**
- Carrier oil: jojoba oil, sunflower oil, or chammomile oil
*When
shopping for your coconut oil, the key words you need to see on the packaging
are: organic, cold-pressed or expeller expressed, and unprocessed.
Also on the shea butter, it should NOT be bleached.
