Liver spots

Due to repeated exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet rays) or just the result of natural aging, the skin may develop brown patches commonly called liver spots. Certainly if the person is a sun worshipper he should go consult a doctor to be sure its not melanoma.

There is usually no way of reversing this natural aging. However some essential oils can help stop, or at least slow down the effect. In some cases they will even reverse the effect, but as with all essential oil treatments they are not miracle cures.

One suggested blend is:
 

Eucalyptus Lemon (Eucalyptus citriodora) 5 drops
Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia) 5 drops
Carrot seed (Daccus carota) 5 drops
Chamomile Roman (Anthemis nobilis) 5 drops
 
This is diluted to 5% in a carrier oil of 50% apricot kernel and 50% borage seed. (20 ml total)
