As with all skin issues, it is advisable to test a small patch of skin to be sure that the results will be positive and not aggravate the condition. Consider diluting with Jojoba or use another pure carrier oil that is soothing to the skin.
Spray: DermaSoothe makes a nice spray. For an adult we suggest 7% dilution for short-term use or 3% for daily use. For children, please refer to the dilution chart on the Babies and Children page. To make a spray, purchase a 1oz spray bottle and add 30 drops of the DermaSoothe blend for a 3% dilution. Fill to the shoulder of the bottle with Jojoba oil or another soothing carrier. We offer cap labels with "DermaSoothe" printed on them if you'd like to get a couple to identify the bottle.
Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler Internal: DermaSoothe blend is suitable for internal use within safe parameters if such use is deemed appropriate. We feel that internal use is rarely *needed* and should only be used with respect for how concentrated the oils are. HEO does not advocate internal use of essential oils without appropriate knowledge and understanding of how to administer, for what purpose, how much, which essential oils, safety concerns and so on. In our experience, essential oils are generally more effective used topically with proper dilution or inhaled. Kurt Schnaubelt Ph.D. notes that "French aromatherapy literature contains many references to using oils orally." He goes on to note that "generally 1 drop is always enough when ingesting essential oils." A potential toxicity hazard could occur when untrained people use essential oils orally and ingest too much. Keep in mind that while medical doctors or health care practitioners may prescribe essential oils for internal use, they are trained and experienced in the safe application of essential oils. It is not a matter of using "French aromatherapy" or "British" methods, it's a matter of experience and appropriate application. Click here for information about internal usage.
We figure that there are 30 drops per mL. 15mL bottle will make 4 - 1oz bottles of the spray Sarah used Jojoba - a 4oz bottle will be perfect with the 15mL bottle of DermaSoothe Spray bottle - this is the 3rd item from the bottom. 2. Our 13-year-old daughter has suffered since she was 4 years old with eczema all over her legs. We have tried diet change, cod liver oils, Young Living oils, lotions, goat soaps, and NOTHING helped. I decided to try your oils. She used DermaSoothe, and in 3-4 weeks it has almost completely cleared up. She applied it straight from the bottle (no dilution), but for maintenance purposes, we will whip up coconut oil and olive oil to dilute it. She has a little stubborn eczema left on her knees. Her legs are so badly scarred. We hope that the oil will help that too. - Lori 3. I had horrible eczema on my hands. The dematologist was a worthless waste of time and money. I got some of HEO's DermaSoothe, and it cleared right up (used undiluted). I used it undiluted on my face as well and am quite pleased. I was persistent with using it, but it really worked great! - Billye 4..This DermaSoothe blend was the only oil that has ever worked and continues to work for my daughter. - Lori
5. I ordered DermaSoothe and added it to emu oil in a roll-on applicator. I gave it to my five year old who is always itchy with inflammed red cheeks. He has rolled his cheeks a few times, and they are already looking better! It is amazing! - Terria 6. I use Derma Soothe on my daughter's eczema and it helps her very much. - Sue 7. I just received an order for your DermaSoothe to help ease, what I thought was, random eczema that seems to be spreading and getting worse. It is starting to help a bit, but I want to thank you so much for having a couple of links on your DermaSoothe page for Topical Steroid Withdrawal. I had been using topical steroid creams to help the eczema sporadically the past few years, and in one spot more regularly. After reading through those links you had on there, which linked to other things, etc, etc, I realize, my eczema isn't from an allergy (I was recently tested and came back allergic to nothing!! Amazing in and of itself!). It's Topical Steroid Withdrawal!!! I wouldn't have figured that out if it wasn't for you and those links. I had never heard of it until reading those. I was planning on doing an elimination diet soon, and I would've gone through that long process and still not found my eczema trigger. I know I have a long withdrawal road ahead of me, but I'm so thankful I won't be making it much worse by continuing unknowingly with my topical steroid creams. And I have a feeling I'll be ordering some more DermaSoothe -- probably the spray with the jojoba oil! - Sarah 8. I use about 20% Evening Primrose mixed with 80% Vitamin E oil (45,000) as a carrier oil for DermaSoothe, and that works very well to control the stubborn dry patches of skin on my face. - Arielle
