Title: Plan to try an Essential Oils Recipe which has helped someone's dry eyes
Post by: Lotus1 on December 25, 2017, 02:02:46 PM
I trust you all enjoy Christmas Day!

While waiting to trial plugs I'm going to try the below recipe (I can't use coconut oil so will use rice bran oil instead) which helped someone's dry eyes:

Now to how I cured myself. I beleive in the healing properties of plants and hit the research books to which plant oils are safe for use around the eyes. What I came up with is Frankincense and Lemon oil. Here is my recipe:

*one teaspoon coconut oil
*10 drops frankincense oil - properties as an antiseptic, disinfectant, astringent.
*10 drops lemon oil - properties are anti-infection, astringent, antiseptic, disinfectant.

Both oils are used in womens beauty creams so dont be scared of using them. (NEVER put essential oils in eyes!)

Mix until uniformed in a small glass or ceramic dipping bowl.

Using your clean finger apply mixture around your eye (but not in it) cover top and lower skin of your eyelids. Then around the eye socket, over nose bridge and down your nose and over your eye brows. Do this at nite before bed for 14 days. Cured and I must say my eyesight is much sharper today. Cant explain that one.

Be careful. Maybe try with a diluted mixture first?

Yes, Snoweye, need to take care.

That's why one uses a carrier oil such as coconut oil & you can also dilute with water so you don't burn your skin.

I'm thinking my eyes won't like the scents, but it's worth a try.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I'll let you all know how I go.
