( > Neysa I am not Butch, but I know that a 1.5% is all that is needed with Helichrysum for it to work. It takes time though for any improvement to be seen. I have a friend that had open heart surgery January 2003. I fixed her up a lotion with 1.5% helichrysum and 1.5% German Chamomile . She said it really helped with the 'pulling' after the first application and the redness and puffiness started decreasing after 2 months. Now, a year later, she is quite happy to be able to wear low cut blouses again. No it it is not completely gone and she is still using the blend. Also there were many posts to this on IDMA quite a while back and just about everyone that posted said that a 1.5% dilution works wonders so why waste the helichrysum when a lower percentage will work. Just my thoughts on it. Not recommending at all but anecdotally it seems to work just fine. Now to figure out your math take the size of your bottle in ML's and multiply it by 1.5%. That will give you the number of drops to use. 30 ml x .05 = 1.5 drops whereas 30 ml x .015 =.45 HTH, Cheryl ===== Cheryl Smith A Heavenly Body Anchorage AK 9950* (907) 222-0886 http://www.aheavenlybody.com Finance: Get your refund fast by filing online. http://taxes./filing.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Yo Neysa, >> I know I am math challenged Butch but I have a friend who has >> horrible burn scars and want to make a 5% rosehip seed >> oil/helichrysum and I cant figure the proportions right. ( >> Neysa Figuring the dilution is the easy part .. but I'm not so sure its gonna work on horrible burn scars .. might to some degree but I wouldn't bet a lotta money on it .. and I sell the oil. Its not an overnight thing .. takes long-term treatment and that's darn expensive .. seems that this MIGHT BE more in the line of requiring some plastic surgery .. thought that's a WAG .. at best. > I can answer this for you Neysa, I like to share the easy way to > figure it out > > Let's make it easy, since you say she will need a lot (around 3 oz, since > you say she has horrible burn scars, and I'm figuring there is a lot of > area to cover), and just get 95 ml of the rosehipseed oil, and add 5 ml of > heli to that. Voila, a 5% dilution. > > Anya > http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady Anya is right on the procedure .. its basically 95 of this and 5 of that. But to get a ball park dilution of a tad less than 5% dilution in milliliters (which I think is safer considering the wide area of usage required) .. take 4 fluid ounces (118.29 ml) of Rose Hip Seed and add 5 ml of Heli italicum .. that's not exact but it will get you as close as you can without precision measuring to betwixt the 4% and 5% dilution mark. Still .. I would give a lot of thought to investing that much money and taking the slim .. but possible .. chance of sensitization from use of any EO over a wide area. Its not just dilution that increases the chances of sensitization .. its also area of coverage and frequency of use .. plus a little luck .. good or bad. Y'all keep smiling.
