Wound care

What is it?
Cuts, grazes, scrapes and the small wounds of an ordinary week. Three jobs, in order: cleanse it, help it mend, protect it while it does. Pure essential oils are antiseptic and antimicrobial by nature, and unlike a chemical antiseptic they work with the body's own repair rather than around it. Lavender True and Tea Tree are the two Dr Bo puts in every first aid kit, Lavender for children and sensitive skin, Tea Tree for the strong, reliable household staple.

Blend intention

Cleanse, heal, protect. Lavender True to disinfect, calm the sensation of pain and support the skin to close. Tea Tree, the powerful natural cleanser. Myrrh, the ancient wound oil, to help the tissue restore itself cleanly. Used as a wound wash, a drop direct to a small cut, then covered with Aloe Vera Gel or Repair Skin cream while it heals.
