Hi,

I have a whole bunch of little wounds where I plucked in grown hairs out of my legs...its really bad/unsightly.

I have been putting some neosporin on them (there are a lto) and some calendula ointment. What other remedies are there to speed up healing or even just make sure it heals well?

Also I have a lot of little scars...any suggestions?
Thanks!

Tamamu Oil...it is anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal. But I think it is recommended to use after the wound has closed. There are medical studies showing it's ability to promote healing and reduce scarring.

I use it on the red spots from zits, and it reduces the redness by 50% overnight.

I typically use mine at 100% concentration, but you don't have to do so. Tamanu has also been proven to work well when mixed with other oils like emu, which also has anti-imflammatory benefits.

Also manuka honey UMF 18 will help.

Hey Bethany, I've heard you advocating Tamanu oil before. Where do you get yours? Whole foods might stock it I suppose. I see Lauren Hutton and Fruits and Passion sell Tamanu products...

I get mine at Essential Wholesale...the best way to try it is their 1oz sample bottle. I ended up buying 16 oz after that because I was so impressed with the research and what it did for my skin.

Garden Of Wisdom also has a 1oz sample bottle:

A few things to note...people with nut allergies should not use it, and it is dark GREEN...best used at night.

Here is a very good overview:

i just bought some tamanu oil for mt. rose herbs online.

I got it. Natrol also makes it (iherb.com cheapest place for brand names like that) but the mt. rose was cheaper.

I just put it on...it feels nice and is yellowish.
