Scar Care is our name for the Edgar Cayce formula most commonly
used for scar care. It appears in only one reading, although
in most of the 16 readings on scars, variations of this formula
were suggested. ScarCare is available in our Bookstore.

to improve the appearance of body scars created by injuries,
burns, or operations. For the best results use regularly

| Burn Scars |
This "Classic" combination, from
reading 2015-10, has been used successfully in the removal of
severe burn scars, and even in treatment of the bums themselves.
It consists of camphorated olive oil, lanolin and peanut oil.
The central ingredient in most of Cayce’s treatments for
scars is camphorated oil, either alone or in combination with
other oils. Several readings stated that camphorated oil should
be prepared from camphor and olive oil rather than the commercially
available camphorated cottonseed oil. The following reading
describes the effects of the camphorated olive oil on the skin:
Olive oil, properly prepared (hence pure olive oil should always
be used), is one of the most effective agents for stimulating
muscular activity, or mucous membrane activity, that may be
applied to a body.
The camphorated oil is merely the same basic force (olive oil)
to which has been added properties of camphor in more or less
its raw or original state [rather] than the spirits of same.
Such activity in the epidermis is not only to produce soothing
to affected areas, but to stimulate the circulation in such
effectual ways and manners as to combine with the other properties
in bringing what will be determined, in the course of two to
two and a half years, a new skin [440-3].
Undiluted camphorated oil is rather strong and was more often
indicated for older scars. In treatment of recently formed scars
the readings suggested dilution of the camphorated oil with
substances such as cocoa butter, compound tincture of benzoin,
peanut oil, lanolin, and olive oil itself. The purpose of this
dilution is to avoid "burning" the scarred area, and
the amount of dilution would depend on the tenderness of the
skin. Whether camphorated oil is used plain or diluted, the
recommended procedure is to rub it gently into the affected
skin once daily, concentrating on the edges of the scarred areas
rather than the scars themselves. This should prevent the formation
of permanent scar tissue and allow the normal healing process
to occur.
We would massage the body - not so much over the area itself
but along the sides of same and over those areas from which
this portion of the body receives its impulse for circulation
to the superficial portions of the body - with camphorated oil
[1165-1].
If he wants to relieve much of the scar tissue on the left limb,
we would use sweet oil (olive oil) combined with camphorated
oil (equal parts). Massage this each day for three to six months
and we would reduce most of this [487-15].
Complete healing of old scars should be expected to require
months or even years of consistent treatment, "but remember
the whole surface may be entirely changed if this is done persistently
and consistently" [404-3].
In the approximately 80 readings in which camphorated oil was
recommended, it was also given other uses, particularly in cases
of cold and congestion.
First we would massage as much camphorated oil in the spine,
chest and throat, as the body will take up [324-1].
Then, be sure that the body is massaged well with camphorated
oil between the shoulders and around (the) throat, between the
eyes and around the head and the places where there is the soft
tissue in (the) face - all that it will absorb
Well that in the evenings before retiring, for the next two
days, the feet be bathed in hot water and then rub them well
to the knees with the camphorated oil also. [415-3]
Keep the camphorated oil rubs for the body, as it will assist
in strengthening the spine and aid the development of the structural
portions of the body. The massaging across the chest, around
the ribs, also aids in the circulation for more and better blood
[1200-6].
In one case of congestion, camphorated olive oil was recommended
for massage in combination with equal parts of mutton suet,
spirits of turpentine and spirits of camphor:
The variation in the camphorated oil (which is, of course, camphor
added to olive oil) will make for an opening to the pores of
the body, you see. [566-3]
Years of research have gone into the testing of this personal
care product, which is made from natural ingredients of olive
oil, peanut oil, lanolin, camphor, beeswax, and natural vitamin
E oil. |
