My daughter had a huge diaper blowout a few days ago that burned her bum and leg. :( Poor girl was miserable.
That night I had her soak in a bath of Epsom salt and Melaleuca oil for about 10 mins. Then before putting on her diaper I poured a couple drops of the Melaleuca oil directly on her burns and then covered them with Butt Paste, the Butt Paste helped to seal in the oil into the skin. The next morning those burns looked so much better. It's now Monday and her burns are pratically gone from applying a few drops of the Melaleuca oil in conjunction with the Butt Paste.
Melaleuca is a great essential oil to have in your Essential Oils kit. It has a variety of properties such as:
- antibacterial
- anit-infectious
- anti-inflammatory
- a strong antiseptic
It helps aid in occasional skin irritations, protects against environmental and seasonal threats and promotes healthy immune function.
