Remedy for dermatitis

Description     More info

Calendula is the quintessential plant to combat dermatitis or relieve skin inflammations. Through the sesame oil and calendula flower, you will learn how to make a moisturizer.

We are going to prepare a calendula cream

Calendula is the plant par excellence for dermatitis, for skin inflammations or simply when you want to prepare a cream that is moisturizing and nourishing at the same time

For this we are going to use a virgin and ecological sesame oil, very important that the oils are virgins, then we will prepare 200 ml of this sesame oil to which we are going to add 2 tablespoons of calendula flowers

We shake and We are going to leave the oil in a water bath for 3 hours together with the calendula

We put our casserole inside another casserole that is with the boiling water in such a way that it will print heat to our oil, but that it will never come to a boil

Once the 3 hours of maceration of our calendula with our sesame oil have passed we are going to strain it

So far we would have a wonderful calendula oil that we could also use for dermatitis, for chafing, inflammation or simply as a hydrating oil after taking shower, but if we want to go a little further and we want it to be an oil instead of we want it to be a cream that is a little more solid to be able to apply it in other areas, then what we do is add a percentage of beeswax

When we add the beeswax what we are going to do is to solidify this oil

We can vary the proportions from one fifth to one seventh depending on how solid you want the cream to be

Well we are finishing with our calendula cream, we had put here the little calendula oil to which we had added the wax and we have melted everything is already liquid, then it is the perfect moment to package it

As we also want to add the properties of essential oils, let's add a few drops of oil lavender essential to our preparation

We are going to add exactly 10 drops of lavender essential oil

As you know lavender apart from being relaxing it's a plant which favors the regeneration of the skin

And we have it ready

All we have left is packing it

In a couple of hours our cream will already be solid
