SUNBURN CURE BY AROMATHERAPY

SUNBURN   CURE BY AROMATHERAPY:

• This condition is a general reaction of highly sensitive skins to ultra violet rays of the sun, but whether the problem is mild or severe, it should be treated as ‘Burn’. Once a person has got exposed to the sun rays, they should avoid further exposure till symptoms fully subside. 

• In sever sun burns the patient may experience symptoms like dehydration, sun stork and blisters. When the skin is broken or bleeding, do not apply any oil. 

• If the sun burn is wide-spread but the mild nature, put 5 drops of Chamomile in a bowl of water and dab on the unbroken skin with utmost care, or you can use this oil in bath (5 drop). 

• In the case of children, more care and caution is required as their skin is extremely tender, soft and sensitive. Hence drop 2-3 drops of Chamomile in sweet almond oil which should be pre- diluted. In the case of severe burns apply neat/diluted Lavender oil in the above mentioned way and apply direct on the blister.

• When effect of sunburn has been cleared, and after care, especially of broken or dry skin is called for. For this purpose, use 2% of oils like Rose, Sandalwood or Lavender, Chamomile and diluted with sweet almond oil (as base oil) and apply locally by massaging gently twice daily. For extra nourishment of highly dry skin dilute 2% of wheat germ oil with the base oil and apply as indicated earlier.
