How to Get Rid of Scars Forever | Dr. Josh Axe
8 Secrets to Get Rid of Scars: bit.ly/2RIA8HI
Scars are typically the result of an injury, such as a small cut, laceration or burn; stretch marks from pregnancy or significant weight changes; or an incision due to surgery or even acne. Scars can be flat or may protrude, often severely.
They can be difficult to live with, especially if the scar is in an exposed location on the body, such as the face or hands, which is why so many people want to know how to get rid of scars. In this video, I'll talk about ways to naturally treat scars.

Thank you so much for these tips. I watched a couple months ago and ordered Calendula, Helichrysum, and Manuka, and have been applying daily. I use the Calendula and Helichrysum combination the most. With some Manuka and castor oil every now and again. It’s only been a couple months and my huge surgery scars look drastically better. I wish I would’ve taken before and after photos. But you’ve really given me so much hope and confidence with these remedies. Thanks again.

Very informative! Thanks alot Doctor!
Great lesson, thanks so much. Coconut oil and olive oil cause acne breakout on my face, cause they are comedogenic. I don't think I can use them on my acne scar.

I never did any of this. Totally forgot that I left this comment. My wounds were so deep that they probably needed stitches. I have just accepted them after all these years. Wish I had tried them but the injury was a little traumatic so I didn't care too much about the scar after a while.
How much of these do you mix together example tsp etc
When to apply these stuffs? After the wound or burn is completely healed or during the healing process?
Dr. Axe - could you please do a video on Emu oil? Also any oils which could help with dryness caused by perioral dermatitis . Thank you in anticipation .
have the contracture scar from a burn and a keloid right on top of it. Long story, the keloid don't look to bad but that contracture scar gets on my last nerves. I'll have to try all of these oils. I am determined to win this battle 😃

There are so many brands and looking for what will be most effective (i.e. no diluted, added additives etc.). I had liver surgery and want to heal my wounds. I would greatly appreciate your advice.
When should the mixture of calendula,helichrysum and onion extract be used .:during healing of the burn or after it is healed and forms the scar and in what proportions

Saw your blog on it, let me guess, Frankincense oil is best for scar prevention. That's really interesting considering I didn't hear it talked about much elsewhere on the web honestly! So far I'm doing lavender oil directly since injured elsewhere and can't get up to wash my small scrape with soap. I also have an aloe vera gel at my disposal but I read in a couple spots you want to not use it on open wounds and wait a little bit before using. Also just ordered Frankincense oil, do I need a carrier oil like Jojoba or coconut oil? I don't have sensitive skin.

Thank you for putting out this information!! I had a vaginal hysterectomy 1983. Uterus only removed. Then about 5 years ago had severe lower right pain. My then gynecologist had scan done. Found cyst on both ovaries. Right one was about 6 cm (think I got that right) and small one on left ovary. Now here I am 5 years later and that same pain has returned. 2014 the Colin dr did scan and I was told had ALOT of adhesions. I was never offered therapy, except pill 3 times a day to help with pain. Folks, telling you right now, this eventually does not work. So went to gynecologist again, and he has now referred me to a surgeon to review. I will see what she says. I am 67 years old. If she doesn't recommend surgery then I will ask for physical therapy or go to St. Louis, Moor Columbia for a second opinion. The adhesion pain therapy in my opinion, could possibly help, but my feeling is took over 30 years for them to "manifest" ....don't think I will live to be 107!
