Eczema

Eczema is a common chronic skin condition that plagues millions of people worldwide. Skin affected by eczema is often very dry and itchy, often taking on a scaly, inflamed appearance. Eczema is often identified by its symptoms of dryness, and flaking and bleeding skin.

Eczema can afflict any part of the body but is mostly commonly found on the legs, knees, arms, elbows, and chest. It can also affect the face, particularly the forehead. Although the exact cause of eczema is currently unknown, eczema is believed to be a hyperactive immune system response to an irritant. Flare-ups may be in response to cold, humidity, dust, nerves, and irritating substances like soaps, detergents, and animal dander.

Treatment:
There is no cure for eczema, but with the use of melrose essential oil, you can help manage the symptoms. By applying this essential oil to the affected area, the mixture of clove, naouli, rosemary and tea tree oil reduce inflammation while the antimicrobial properties kill the bacteria responsible for the flare up. The healing properties of this blend also promote the regeneration of healthy new skin cells.

Psoriasis

This common chronic skin condition causes the cells of the skin to reproduce at an accelerated rate. As a result, the affected areas of skin appear to be raised, patchy, and flaky. Sometimes these affected areas are covered in scaly dead skin.

These patches most commonly appear on the knees, feet, elbows, feet, hands, lower back, and scalp. Experts believe the psoriasis is a hyperactive immune response, causing the skin to become flaky and inflamed. Flare-ups are believed to be caused by stress, dry skin, infections, taking certain medications, and living in a cold and dry climate.

Treatment:
There is currently no cure for psoriasis, but controlling symptoms is a synch with melrose essential oil. For immediate relief, mix a couple drops of melrose essential oil with vegetable oil and apply directly to the affected area. You may also add a couple drops of melrose essential oil to your bath water to treat your whole body.

Acne

Is a common skin condition that affects teens and adults alike. This condition occurs when the hair follicles become clogged with oil, dirt, and dead skin cells. These clogged pores results in unsightly blemishes, which can appear on your face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders.

There are several treatments you can employ to treat these blemishes, however, many commercial products are rough on the skin and can cause unpleasant side effects such as redness and peeling. Sweat, bacteria, and hormones often cause acne.

Treatment:
Fortunately, acne can be easily be treated with melrose essential oil. The antiseptic qualities of naouli and tea tree oil help kill the bacteria responsible for causing the blemishes. During treatment, this antibacterial blend prevents new pimples from cropping up.

Warts

Although annoying and unattractive, warts are usually pretty harmless. However, getting rid of them is a whole other story. Warts are usually a viral infection, meaning it can be resistant to many treatments, causing lots of frustration and money thrown away on ineffective treatments.

These small, fleshy little bumps often appear on the fingers and hands and are rough to the touch. Sometimes warts have tiny little black dots on them, which are clotted blood vessels. As mentioned above, they are caused by a virus and transmitted through touch.

People most susceptible to developing warts are children and those with compromised immune systems. Warts often go away on their own, however, may people want to take steps to remove them, as they are embarrassing and bothersome.

Treatment:
To treat your warts, you can apply melrose essential oil directly to the wart with a cotton ball two to three times a day until the wart starts to disappear. You can also dilute the essential oil in apple cider vinegar before applying. Be sure not to get essential oil on the surrounding area of skin.

Rosacea

Rosacea is another relatively common skin condition which melrose essential oil has the potential to treat. The condition which generally affects women in their middle age causes a characteristic redness in the face as well as producing small bumps that are often filled with pus.

Rosacea has a tendency to worsen over time especially if it is left untreated. Flare-ups can occur for a number of weeks or even months before diminishing and then re-appearing. For more about essential oils and Rosacea-read this article.
