I used only Essential Oils to heal up my tatt, which is on the top of my hand and is not large. On the 2nd day I had the worry that it might block my skin from being able to breathe and so did some research - it doesn't. I used mainly Neem Oil, as well as Castor Oil and put it on hourly.
My tatt was only very slightly pink and a little raised, for about 2 days. After that I saw a few minor flakes here & there and it was never sore. Some people have scabs and their skin really peels and flakes, but those people are using lotions and moisturizing creams, instead of healing Essential Oils. As to itching, yeah, it really can, but I took care of that quickly with manuka honey, and so only spent about 10 total seconds itching so far. The itching would've been awful to deal with if I didn't have a way to quickly deal with it. And I only experienced itching about once a week, so I had it easy.
I really feel for people trying to heal new tattoos on their own with only lotions to help! With the use of Essential Oils, and manuka honey (or any local unpasteurized honey if ya can't find manuka), will help heal up your new tatt beautifully and quickly!! I am so glad for this site, as I learned here how important it is to keep wound areas moisturized to help increase cellular turnover which leads to faster healing. Without this knowledge, healing up this tatt would not have been so darn easy, quick and painless.
Healthy healing everybody!

I asked her how many milligrams of FO she was taking. She mentioned that she was taking a 1000 milligrams a day of combined DHA/EPA. I mentioned that that might not be the optimal dose for her based on effective dosages used in studies of FO in humans and suggested she consider upping her dose to study levels of EPA/DHA of 3 to 4 grams per day in order to optimize the benefit to her skin and heart. This would be 3 to 4 times the amount she was already taking. It is the total amount of EPA/DHA in a given FO soft gel that is important, not the total amount of different oils. So even though a FO soft gel may say 1200 mg, the actual EPA/DHA level may only be half that amount. It is important to read the label carefully to know what you are really getting.
Obviously the heart benefit will not be readily apparent other than through testing, but I told her that any additional benefit to her skin should be readily apparent within two months or so. I also reminded her that FO at therapeutic dosing such as she was now taking can absolutely have blood thinning effects and as such she should notify her doctor and have him/her add that information to her medical records for safety. I further told her that the high dose FO, because of its anti inflammatory effects should be additionally beneficial to her anti hyperpigmentation regimen as localized inflammation is a contributing factor to skin hyperpigmentation.
This past week, my friend texted me to update me on how she was doing as it was approaching the 2 month mark at her new increased FO dosing level. She said the following, it appears to be additive to her anti hyperpigmentation regimen as she could see increased fading of dark spots which she said had previously slowed to a crawl and she felt that if the current rate of lightening continued she might be "clear" in 3 months or so. She further said that the increased FO dosing schedule had eliminated "all of her dry skin" issues which she said had been a major problem for her for years. She went on to say that "stretch marks, keratosis and scars" that she has had for years had either faded, significantly diminished or both.
Overall she was very happy and looking forward to continued improvements and she said the improvements are helping her to diligently stick to her current regimen with no slacking. I told her that was good that she is applying her regimen consistently because that is needed in order to obtain the results she is getting and wants.
She told me she would update me later and when she does I will update this thread to update on her progress.
I know this is not of very much importance to many people, but it does offer a significant boost to her self esteem which, imo, is very important in trying to improve your overall quality of life, plus the added health benefit that the therapeutic FO dose is having to her heart is great, especially as we age! It is important to highlight the benefits of FO at useful dosing levels as many studies spotlight a multitude of health effects associated with sufficient intake of EPA/DHA, even for the brain!

Serrapeptase and Nattokinase
*Note that Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme and MUST be taken on an empty stomach or it is useless, as it will go after any food instead of its intended target. Take 1 hr before food and 2 hrs after food. Bedtime works best for most. â¥

In 2010, I was researching what I could to eliminate scar tissue due to having a double nerve surgery for the Guyon Canal (wrist) and the ulnar nerve moved to inside elbow. I had 2 IME Drs tell me if scar tissue in Guyon canal grew back it could eventually cause loss of use of my dominant hand (I have nerve damage to little finger and ring finger). I accidentally ran across Serrapeptase, which was well known and used in England and Europe; discovered by a famous German heart doctor that he would use on patients requiring bypass surgery. He would give them several months of Serrapeptase and retest the blockages and discovered this enzyme eats plaque in the arteries. He found he did not have to do the bypass surgeries. He found it ate scar tissue as well as lessened COPD to the point that folks could give up their oxygen tanks. serrapeptase.org and serrapeptase.info were the websites from across the pond I educated myself with. Serrapeptase is prescription only across the pond.
My story is I began taking it immediately finding it in a health food store. They sold very little because folks did not know about it in US, so was inexpensive.
I had had my appendix removed at age 3 resulting in a raised keloid (sp) scar as I grew. When I was 63, I discovered I no longer had the raised scar….it was a thin white line. I checked every scar I had and they all faded.
I had read on one of those two websites, that if the scar tissue is no longer there - the scar tissue is no longer pressing against nerves, resulting in lessened pain.
I recently listened to a podcast in which an 83 year old researcher was finding serrapeptase was eating the plagues in his beloved wife's brain due to Alzheimer's.
I take it every day and have since 2010. it works like Rid X in your home sewer system. It eats the garbage in our body and it is made from a protein in the stomach of the silkworm. The silkworm hibernates in a hardened cocoon and when it leaves it squirts the protein at this hardened shell to fly out from my understanding.
There is a very strong possibility it will heal the scars in your trachea of the scars.
Best wishes this will work for you. I so trust in it that I have not really read the latest information on serrapeptase….only that which I heard about the brain plaques.

I have read about comfrey healing even old scars. I use it all the time myself, but have never been diligent enough to try to get rid of old scars. It is a pretty simple and inexpensive thing to try. It promotes cell regeneration. At the least, it should cause no harm to try it.

Keloids are known to have a reduced number of vitamin d receptors (VDRs) and people with keloids often have a relatively low level of 25 OH d. In your case, you are closer to the lower end of the range than the upper end, so you have plenty of room to push it upward with your doctors guidance. Some studies have shown that raising the 25 OH d level can increase VDRs. When you are actively trying to treat something it can be useful to have your serum level closer to the upper end of the range.

A few years ago I got into an accident that completely devastated me. I've been doing a lot better mentally lately except this 2.5 inch scar on my face won't budge no matter what I try. I have tried every remedy on this site along with many others with no improvement including: castor oil packs, cocoa butter, vitamin E, coconut oil, banana peels, egg whites, honey, etc.
The scar looks like a knife attack running diagonally down my forehead between my brows and to the mid nose area. If I had money for plastic surgery to get a scar revision I'd probably try that route again. I did get a dermabrasion procedure on the scar a couple years ago that didn't help. Any and all advice would be appreciated. I never posted online about this before, but I noticed this is a very kind, caring community so felt comfortable posting here. Thank you. Karrie

For three years my husband has had to have a track or t-tube because of a shelf of scar tissue in his throat caused accidentally in hospital saving life from heart attack. We tried stabilized aloe, manuka honey, serrapeptise, nannapeptise, and all the blood tests to make sure his levels were good( 9 vile of blood and book of results). We backed off of everything except aloe, plant based vitamins, minerals etc. and as much organic food as possible
but then friend asked us to test a new product on our pasture and as I studied I told husband people were drinking it. Since it was plant based (liquid trees) called Fulvic and it was 28-30 which was a big thing. Anyway after last surgery a week ago the surgeon came out to say the shelf had dissolved and wondered what we did different. Looks like about to get it out. He is turning 70 soon.
General Feedback
If you are still having issues, they do an inflatable balloon ENT doctors insert in your throat while you are knocked out. Sometimes a CO2 laser is used but if you make a lot of scar tissue as I do, arm yourself with every remedy on internet and stock up on the ones that interest you, eat lots of apple cider vinegar, bromelain, enzymes, by time we are 30, we do not make enzymes including digestion kind so you MUST take digestion enzymes and other enzymes like the serrapeptase. I want to go all natural on almost everything else but I think the scar tissue in the throat, no time to waste so you can breath and swallow! I feel like I am grasping for air even though blood oxygen is 94, most horrible thing I have ever gone thru. The darker your olive skin is, the more scar tissue you make compared to a blonde light skinned person. Allyson
Castor Oil Pack

My husband is very active with hiking and other exercise, was in his early 40's at this point, and our child was 2, so this was absolutely out of the question. I looked up scar tissue remedies on Earth Clinic and found that applying Castor Oil to external scars had helped some people.
So my husband began rubbing a thick layer of cold pressed Castor Oil on his neck where his tracheotomy had been, and where the tracheal stenosis has been recurring. He did this in the morning and at night, tucking a washcloth into his shirt to keep the greasy oil off of his clothes. Miraculously, within 24 hours David's breathing started easing as if the scar tissue were disappearing. And within a couple of days his airway seemed completely open again. Since he started doing this, my husband has not had another surgery for tracheal stenosis. This is an incredible cure that works! My husband is an especially tough customer because his neck had been radiated during his teenage years due to Hodgkin's Lymphoma so he also had scar tissue from that.
David continued his twice/day castor oil treatment for a couple of years. The scar tissue/tracheal stenosis never returned. I wish we had tried this before suffering through 7 surgeries, but better late than never! And better than a permanent tracheotomy! I hope this will help some other people recover easily from their tracheotomies. It is an incredibly easy cure.

Oil Massage
Scar tissue is like a mend that is lovingly applied to a favorite sweater. Mending involves additional materials and "stitching" that is different than the weave of the fabric to bind the edges to one another. In other words, it serves a purpose. To reduce a scar only requires the massage associated with the various oils and other substances that are used. Generally, unless one is applying a substance, one isn't rubbing a scar which makes just about anything you are rubbing onto your skin appear to help flatten scar tissue because it's actually the rubbing that is breaking it down. The problem is that breaking up scar tissue also weakens the mend.
The thickness of scar tissue can also create functional problems, some of which can be remedied by "moving" the scar which involves grafting to provide a more natural thickness at a specific, problematic site but which creates scars around the graft. The benefit is that it can be designed to move the scar tissue to areas where the additional thickness doesn't cause any problems.
Scars are GOOD things. If you don't like how they look, give them some love. Touch them - give them some hugs and a little massage with your very best oil. They deserve it.

I wanted a natural approach, I did castor oil pack on nose, with a heating pad and did the same on my abdomen, 2x a day for an hour. I took daily serrapeptase, 2 twice a day on an empty stomach . I read 3 books on proper juice fasting which included, couple colonics and coffee enemas. Apparently between the 8-15 day on a juice fast the body begins to dissolve scar tissue. If you're thin only 10 days of juice fasting is recommended. Of course talk to naturopathic doctor before starting.

Other therapy may also be needed. The herb Kotu Kola is very much recommended in fibrosis condition. Nattozimes or Serrazymes eat scar tissue directly. Combining these therapies should produce some positive results, as opposed to only one.
