Water, please help with essential oils EXTERNALLY

Hello water + forum,

Water, may I ask you for your help with essential oils once more?

This time I have questions regarding their topical rather than internal use.

I have read on this forum and also elsewhere, that when dealing with a skin infection like mine, nothing oily should be put on the skin. - I don't know, if that includes essential oils. As far as my knowledge goes, quite the opposite is the case. Essential oils used topically can cure infections like mine (as people have reported and studies show).

So I assume, it's more than ok to use essential oils topically for my skin infection.

So my plan is to start using essential oils externally as part of my fight against the infection.

Which oils would you use? You have reccomended several oils in one of your past answers to one of my posts, but I think you/we were talking "internally". These are the oils you listed: Clove, cinnamon, peppermint, ginger, juniper, Cedarwood, spruce, pine or cypress. Would you also reccomend these for external use for my condition?

Here are some oils that I have come across many times in the past few months, and I am planning on using them externally:

- Oregano
- Thyme
- Eucalyptus
- Ravintsara
- Lavender
- Tea Tree

What do you think of them for external use?

I have bought the "Essential Oils Desk Reference" and have read(pages 353; 356) that no more than 3 oils should be used in a blend. How would you use the essential oils externally? Only 1 oil per application or a (self-made) blend of 3 or even more oils?

Here's what I was going to do: Chose 9 single essential oils and make 3 blends, each blend consisting of 3 oils. I would make 1-3 applications per day, alternating the blends.

Whenever necessary (for example when using Oregano or Thyme) I would use olive oil to make a dilution.

Any other suggestions/tipps are more than welcome!

Thank you so much in advance,
many healthy greetings,
Solmare
