Essential Oil Treatments for Scabs

Due to different conditions breaking the skin, scabs are formed, including blisters, lacerations and abrasions. Scabs aren’t a disease but an essential part of healing and should be left in place without disturbance to fall off when the time is right, naturally. Abrasions usually happen after the top-most skin layer is removed through friction, such as rope burns and skinned knees.

Abrasions hardly bleed but usually become inflamed and red, which essentially leads to a scab right over the wound as the healing process continues. To increase the healing process, a number of essential oils can be used such as Eucalyptus Lemon, Cedarwood, Geranium, Neroli and Patchouli.
