Liver spots

Due to repeated exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet rays) or just the result of natural aging, the skin may develop brown patches commonly called liver spots. Certainly if the person is a sun worshipper he should go consult a doctor to be sure its not melanoma.

There is usually no way of reversing this natural aging. However some essential oils can help stop, or at least slow down the effect. In some cases they will even reverse the effect, but as with all essential oil treatments they are not miracle cures.

One suggested blend is:
 

Eucalyptus Lemon (Eucalyptus citriodora) 5 drops
Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia) 5 drops
Carrot seed (Daucus carota) 5 drops
Chamomile Roman (Anthemis nobilis) 5 drops
 
This is diluted to 5% in a carrier oil of 50% apricot kernel and 50% borage seed. (20 ml total)

AGORA, The Aromatherapy Global Online Research Archives is a unique non-commercial, website, contributed to by about eighty people world-wide. We are working to promote the serious, intelligent and SAFE use of essential oils for healing the body, mind and spirit. The various pages on this website are hosted in different places, internationally, reflecting the worldwide nature of the interest and participation in aromatherapy. The origin of this project came from a dream of Michel Vanhove, who hosts the official homepage.
I expressed an old dream on the idma aromatherapy mailing list on 16/2/1998: "I dream of a better use of the web possibilities and a cooperation of webpage owners or designers, to make a huge common work on aromatherapy and related subjects. Different people cooperating with the same purpose: making info available and enabling communication. If we would cooperate, one member would make some space on his/her pages for long updated references on books, another person could keep updated a huge link page,sorted by subject and country with clear descriptions, another making images available..."

-Michel Vanhove
