Helichrysum & Stretch Marks

[Guest guest]

Hi Linda,

 

> Hiya Butch aka Poppa.....I have a question about helichrysum also.

 

Go for it. :-) But I gotta say in advance that what I am writing is

not from first hand experience .. though I do believe what I write.

 

I hope List Mom Chris replies also as she is more knowledgeable in this

area than I am.

 

> My daughter is 8 1/2 months pregnant and has some stretch marks.

 

Wishing her and the youngun the best of luck and happiness. :-)

 

> I have some heli and I was wondering how do I mix it with say shea

> butter or should it be mixed with something else.

 

I know nothing about shea butter .. but what we will use here after our

baby is born .. is Helichrysum italicum from Corsica .. Carrot Seed and

Rose Hip Seed as a carrier.

 

> If it can be mixed with shea butter, could you please tell me exactly

> how much of each I should use like so many drops of heli and how much

> butter?

 

Like I said .. I know nothing about shea butter .. nor do I deal with

drops because I don't do blends. The percentage of dilution I will make

up will be 1 ml of Heli in 19 ml of Rose Hip Seed .. with a few drops of

Carrot Seed in for good measure.

 

Chris or Marge or one of the other folks who deals with shea butter can

do a better job answering this one.

 

> Should my daughter use it now or after she has the baby?

 

This is new ground for me. ;-) We're gonna wait until after our baby is

born because we don't know to what extent there will be stretch marks

then .. but its not going to hurt her or the baby if she uses it prior

to the baby being born.

 

> Thanks in advance...

 

Welcome fer'shur.

 

> Also, let me add my best wishes for a " healthy " babe.

 

Thankee ma'am .. appreciated it is.
