Healing Scars the natural way

There are some things, events or moments in our lives that we wish never took place.  Sometimes all that remains of those moments are their haunting of our memories, other times there are scars etched deep into our skin to embody them.

Scars are usually painful reminders of events we’d much rather bury away – it can be from illness, accidents or a surgery but the fact is, scars like the pain behind them do fade. They may not disappear entirely but with the right tenderness and help you can speed up the healing. And as cliché as it may sound, scars do tend to hurt/bother a woman more than it does a man – perhaps it has something to do with society’s standards but it really isn’t important.

Now before the days of modern cosmetic surgery, nature used to be the aid everyone turned to. However modern times has taught many of most of us to be in a rush, in a hurry and absolutely impatient for results, thus shunning the option of natural healing which tends to take a long time or at least a longer time to deliver the expected results. One of the most popular cosmetic surgery engaged to lighten or remove scars is the laser treatment but it is not without much risk and drawbacks (expensive with unpredictable results).

Of course when dealing with major scarring such as those from terrible accidents, cosmetic surgery will do for you what natural healing cannot. But if your scars aren’t that serious, maybe a bad cut from a nasty fall, insect bites that didn’t heal too well or very acne scars then perhaps you could try the following natural remedies:

1.    Evening Primrose Oil
Famously known as a woman’s supplement, unknown to any, the use of evening primrose oil as a topical application can fade scars and prevent the flare up of acne.

2.    Calendula Oil
One of Mother Nature’s best gift to us all, the healing properties of the calendula flower is amazing. If you’ve ever had any wounds that absolutely will not heal then this is the oil for you. Calendula has time and again been tested and proven true to heal the skin because of its ability to promote skin regeneration and reduce inflammation.

3.    Manuka Honey
Manuka Honey doesn’t just nourish us from within, when applied it nurtures our wound helping the tissue to grow back. Sure it will feel a bit sticky but it does heal so it’s a small discomfort to put up with for a big relief.
