Broken Capillaries - Use Essential Oils and Aromatherapy
The very finest branches of the blood vessel system that serves the face can sometimes become broken. Usually the problem is concentrated on the cheeks although the whole face can be affected. Broken capillaries seem to affect those with a delicate and fragile skin, although this may in part be due to the fact that they just show more clearly than in thicker skin. Stimulants such as alcohol, coffee, sun and wind are often the cause. These are the oils to use for their treatment:
BASE OILS
Almond, Apricot, Avocado, Wheatgerm
ADDITIONS TO BASE
Borage seed, Evening primrose, Carrot
ESSENTIAL OILS
Parsley, Geranium, Cypress, Chamomile Roman
When making your own treatment oil or following the formula below, mix the essential oils together first and allow them to interact with each other to make a synergistic effect before adding to the base oil:
TREATMENT OIL FOR BROKEN CAPILLARIES
Parsley 20 drops
Cypress 5 drops
Geranium 10 drops
Dilute in 30 ml almond oil to which you have added 10 drops of evening primrose oil.
