I was going through my collection of essential oils… and I wanted to make something from oils that I already have to create something that I don’t yet have… (do you get it?) Hmmm.. to simplify, I just wanted more oils. Hehh… Part of the joys (and pains) of being human and being able to Want, Create, and Own. Heehee
Recently, I developed a rash that comes on intermittently over the back of my right hand along my thumb.. which I suspect to be eczema. I think anger and impatience is expressing itself through that rash of mine (no recollection of contact dermatitis, so maybe it’s mental/emotional/spiritual). And, having read that Melrose can help with eczema and anger/impatience, I carried on to read more.
Found that Melrose is made up of four essential oils. Whee! Because I happen to have them in my collection. 🙂 It’s Tea tree, Niaouli, Rosemary, and Clove essential oils.
Supposedly, it also helps with:
- Psoriasis — treat the area with a few drops of diluted melrose to affected area, or can also add to bath water to treat entire body
- Acne — apply diluted to affected area
- Warts — can dilute in apple cider vinegar before targeting affected area
- Rosacea — may be able to help relief symptoms by applying a few drops of Melrose diluted in water or carrier oil to affected areas twice a day
Please do note that I am not a doctor or medical advisor. I only can share what I read/know/experience and hope that this helps you and perhaps your loved ones in your life. In any case, it will be most advisable to seek professional medical attention.
So back to what is found inside Melrose…
I like how Tea Tree essential oil, or Melaleuca alternifolia the scientific name, has such amazing healing properties for the body. I have it in my facial toner (I can share what’s in it some day too!) and I think it has been helping me with reducing acne and pimples on my face (they however pop up elsewhere on my body). It also helps to refresh as well as ease mental and emotional stress too.
There’s also Niaouli essential oil which I love for it’s ability to reduce appearance of scars and reduce pain (and hopefully itch too because they share the same nervous pathway).
The first time I sniffed Rosemary essential oil I thought I was going to turn sick. It’s scent is not very pleasant to me but I am okay with the leaves of the actual rosemary plant. It’s great for soothing digestion and rich in those ‘anti’s… such as anti oxidant, anti-cancer (because of carnosol), and anti-inflammatory. And, my aunt whose head hairs are constantly dyed from white will soon be trying rosemary essential oil out to support healthy hair and scalp, as well as for hair growth! Reminds me of how it can be a really sensitive matter to reveal a lady’s age…
And last but not least, Clove essential oil. Rich in antioxidant. Anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties. Also boosts energy, improves our blood circulation, and helps us to release what we no longer need.
There’s definitely more to each of the oils than the little short summaries I written above. I feel as though I don’t do the oils enough justice sometimes… But I know that there’s a tonne (maybe more) of information available out there and I don’t want to be like an encyclopedia; I just wish to add on and share what I experience! :)))
How to make Melrose
I made a small portion of 2 ml (the tiny amber/brown coloured bottle above) for and my ratio for my very own Melrose essential oil blend is right below.
How to make your own Melrose Essential Oil Blend:
- 6 drops Melaleuca alternifolia
- 5 drops Niaouli
- 4 drops Rosemary
- 2 drops Clove
I like how this blend smells.
Simply multiply the number of drops and adjust the scent according to your preference 🙂
Recommended to use 50:50 dilution. And can apply 2-4 drops to your ears, feet and brow to help with calming and to release impatience.
I’ll be using is on my hand where eczema has been spotted to arise whenever I need / remember…
Wishing everyone many Blessings & Healing! ❤
