Sebaceous Cyst

[Heritage Essential Oils]

Joanne asked about Sebaceous Cyst: I have one of those large (1/2"+) sebaceous cysts on my back. I've had two of them before and both eventually needed medical attention and removal. (I usually waited until they became infected). Now that I've been "experimenting" with EO's, I'm wondering if there's an oil that would make this thing disappear so I don't have to go under the dermatologist's knife again??

I was diagnosed with a sebaceous cyst on the top of my foot. He told me I could have it surgically removed, but I felt to try essential oils first. I applied GRAPEFRUIT oil across the top of it every morning and evening for a couple weeks. It shrunk to almost nothing, but then I'd forget to keep applying the oil and I'd start feel it rub on my shoes again ;-/. That reminds me to apply the Grapefruit oil again, it shrinks and have no more problems with it. I just need to keep this up for a while to really eradicate it completely. I sure love these oils!

I had a large sebaceous cyst on top of my head near the hair line. I used FRANKINCENSE and COPAIBA on it twice daily, and it was about half the size after a week. Now it's almost completely gone and hardly noticable at all. I'm amazed at the power in these oils!

My husband had a sebaceous cyst on the back of his neck at the hairline. The MD told him that it would not go away on its own and could easily be surgically removed, but he decided to let me try the oils on it. He liked FRANKINCENSE the best, mostly because the aroma was nice and not as noticeable as Lemongrass or Tea Tree. In a matter of a few weeks, the cyst as shrunk by at least half its beginning size. He only uses it nighly before getting into bed, and he's pretty impressed with how well this has worked.

I have a sebaceous cyst on my wrist, and I am applying FRANKINCENSE morning and evening. It helps it shrink, and then I forget to apply it for a few days or weeks, and then it grows again. I'm really impressed to how it responds to the oil, I just need to get consistent so I can report that it's gone for good!

I ordered a sample of Frankincense to use on what I believe is a large sebaceous cyst on my husband's back. 

 

I poured the Frankincense into a 10-mL roller ball applicator and filled the rest with evening primrose oil for a ratio of approximately 4:1 and have been applying it twice daily using.  Is this a good dilution ratio?  About how long might it take to begin seeing results? 

 

Thank you,

 

Terri

Hi Terri,

The testimony information shared above is what I know. Unless stated in the testimony, we don't know if they were diluting the oil or how long it took. I'd imagine it varies with each person. Please let us know how it works for you, how you dilute it and how often you apply it.

Blessings, Linda
