Are you one of those people that scar easily? What about those chicken pox scabs you picked off when you were little. Yup, those could have left scars too. Before we talk about remedies for healing scars, let’s discuss prevention. First of all, it is important to know that some people scar more than others. In these people, scars actually lift up and look like a scar and this type of scar is called a Keloid. Keloid scars usually have a dark purple pink color but like all scars, the color fades over time. So, what causes scars? We know the answer right? Wounds do. Depending on the severity of the wound, the time it takes for the new skin to cover the wound varies. By keeping the wound slightly moist with antibiotic treatment, we can make wounds heal faster.

These are some natural remedies for healing scars: (1) zinc and a balanced diet (2) lubrication (3) sunblock (4) being gentle and not scrubbing while washing (5) applying honey (6) applying olive oil (7)

This concludes our remedy list for healing scars. Remember to ask your physician before changing your diet, applying ointments or taking any supplements. Hope this helps you, and if it does, please let me know. (^-^)

See you next week! Remember to eat healthy, exercise, and enjoy your natural remedies.
