If you'd like a personalised remedy, rather than a general one, please book an aromatherapy consultation where I will look at your actual situation and health history in detail to formulate a solution for you.

Having had eczema and dermatitis herpetiformis in my scalp, causing it to bleed because it's so itchy, this blend has helped to heal and soothe, which one wouldn't expect with broken skin!  If it stings when you apply it, your blend needs to be diluted more, so drop it down to a ratio that works for you.
