Primary Repair Essential Oils
Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum / Immortelle)
Key Component: Italidiones (Diketones).
Benefits: Fades scars, clears bruises (anti-hematoma), reduces swelling, and provides pain relief for impact injuries.
Role: Directly assists in the structural repair of wounds.
Frankincense (Boswellia carterii / serrata)
Benefits: Promotes cell renewal, antioxidant, repairs the skin surface (epithelial regeneration), and manages chronic pain.
Role: Supports continuous repair processes.
Rose (Rosa damascena)
Benefits: Moisturizing, repairs dry skin, stimulates cell regeneration, antioxidant, and improves skin elasticity.
Role: Enhances the quality of newly regenerated cells.
Carrot Seed (Daucus carota)
Benefits: Liver detoxification, promotes skin metabolism and regeneration, improves pigmentation, and has strong renewal power.
Role: Assists in active cell turnover.
German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita)
Benefits: Powerful anti-inflammatory, soothes sensitive and allergic skin (including atopic dermatitis), and provides pain relief for inflammation.
Role: Ensures the repair process is comfortable and calm.
True Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
Benefits: Anti-inflammatory, promotes healing, soothes burns; safe for all-purpose use; relieves headaches and stress-related pain.
Role: One of the gentlest and most versatile repair options.
Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha)
Benefits: Uses larger molecules than Frankincense to address deep/chronic inflammation; promotes recovery of mucous membranes and connective tissues.
Role: Helps the body re-initiate the repair state in stalled cases.
Rock Rose (Cistus ladanifer)
Benefits: Strong astringent (helps stop bleeding and excessive fluid discharge), reduces infection risk, and stabilizes early-stage scars.
Role: Handles the preliminary groundwork for repair (forming a "protective shield").
Internal Environment Optimization (Supporting Repair)
Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin)
Benefits: Stimulates lymphatic and blood circulation, clears "dampness" (toxins) from the body, and assists in cell repair.
Role: Flushes out dampness and toxins to accelerate the repair rate.
Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens)
Benefits: Reduces long-term inflammation through endocrine regulation; supports skin protection and prevents moisture loss.
Role: Balances the endocrine environment so repair can proceed smoothly.
Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii)
Benefits: High Geraniol content; supports epidermal cells (moisturizing, stabilizing cell alignment, lowering external irritation).
Role: Strengthens epidermal defense so repair can occur undisturbed.
Jasmine (Jasminum officinale)
Benefits: Lowers sympathetic nervous system over-activity; shifts the body into a "rest and repair" mode; treats stress-related aging.
Role: Releases emotional exhaustion and relaxes the nerves to allow repair to begin.
Cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica / deodara)
Benefits: Stabilizes the nervous system, reduces excessive inflammation, and improves skin sagging and oil-water balance.
Role: Assists in building cellular structure during the mid-to-late stages of repair.
Neroli (Citrus aurantium var. amara)
Benefits: Stabilizes the central and autonomic nervous systems; reduces inflammation caused by long-term stress; stabilizes heart rate.
Role: Stabilizes the body’s rhythm and lowers stress for "peaceful repair."
Sweet Marjoram (Origanum majorana)
Benefits: Relaxes nerves and smooth muscles; relieves stress-induced pain.
Role: Provides physical relaxation from a physiological perspective to facilitate repair.
