Hi toomtim,
Ananda carries a wonderful blend for scar healing and reduction which I have been using for an old scar and my son used for a new scar (from a bad burn). My son's scar healed magnificently and my old scar is improving nicely. The color of the scar itself has lightened over the past couple of months. I don't always remember to apply the "scar treatment" as often as I should, but I am very pleased with the progress so far.
Below is the information from Ananda regarding their blend. I underlined the ingredients below, which you could use to create your own blend, but I do not know what proportions you should use. I included the link below as well.
Smooth Skin Scar Treatmentâ„¢
Described in the medical aromatherapy literature for reducing or eliminating appearance of old scars, including keloid scarring from wounds or surgery.
Used regularly, this blend of
Helichrysum,
Sea Buckthorn,
Rosemary Verbenone, and essential oils based in organic
Rosehip Seed (studied for it's skin smoothing effects) Tamanu (Callophyllum, a very healing oil for the skin) and
Hazelnut oils can reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Works equally well on the face and other parts of the body. Use continually for 3-6 months for reducing appearance of 'old' marks. Apply to 'new' wounds regularly to prevent scar formation.
