- 8 Secrets to Get Rid of Scars: bit.ly/2RIA8HI
Scars are typically the result of an injury, such as a small cut, laceration or burn; stretch marks from pregnancy or significant weight changes; or an incision due to surgery or even acne. Scars can be flat or may protrude, often severely.
They can be difficult to live with, especially if the scar is in an exposed location on the body, such as the face or hands, which is why so many people want to know how to get rid of scars. In this video, I'll talk about ways to naturally treat scars.

Castor oil has done a great job for me personally and actually healed my eyes (I applied on eye brows and lids in am and pm) of dry eye and retina detach. Also removed scars and brown spots on my hands and face. Use it everyday!
How could this help a detached retina? I’m fascinated!
Did you ever put it in eye like eye drops?
Your shoes will love it
Hi!does castors oil works for old scars 2?TIA
Should I use the one that's thick with a slight yellow tinge to it or the clear one ?
Can’t believe he didn’t mention castor oil for getting rid of any and all scar tissue... I know first hand how amazing it is and works fast
Are you sure?
Ajin Shan yes I’m positive it’s facts and I’ve used it for myself!
Castor oil is like magic to fade scars
@@aprilrobinson2153 Hello !! Can I use it for a chemical burn on my legs? last night had a terrible reaction from NAIR hair removal cream. Feeling better with the help of aloe vera gel, Aquaphor and neosporine ointment but the red bumps are all over my legs and already started to living scars. Please help me. Thank you.
Hey yesss!!!! Use it now I’m telling you you’ll be amazed
Thank you so much for these tips. I watched a couple months ago and ordered Calendula, Helichrysum, and Manuka, and have been applying daily. I use the Calendula and Helichrysum combination the most. With some Manuka and castor oil every now and again. It’s only been a couple months and my huge surgery scars look drastically better. I wish I would’ve taken before and after photos. But you’ve really given me so much hope and confidence with these remedies. Thanks again.
Ah happy for you! X did you get calendula essiential oil or calendula oil? X

You are the only doctor who claims to get rid of scar permanently
What does that tell you?
These things work. After six months using some of these oils, some of my scars are almost gone. And these are scars I've had for over 25 years. I just wish I could be more consistent in applying the oils.
@@nomcebodlamini7030 is it work on acne scar too? And what oil you use?
@@nomcebodlamini7030what oil do you use please 🙏 ?
What oils did u use?
A.I.D.S 31 years and Dr. Josh Axe has given me longer life. Bless You and think You for the truth of nutrition. Taken care of a Mom with Alzheimer's please give info to help her have better quality of life.
Seven months ago my daughter had surgery on both legs - four incisions on each leg. Her doctor told her to massage in cocoa butter. There wasn't much of a change. Two months ago she started applying helichrysum oil and calendula oil. The scars have faded greatly. We are impressed.
Betty Weller do we need to use a carrier oil for calendula and helicrysum
@@arielarcillajr6389 No. She just blended them in a bottle that had a dropper
Betty Weller okaay thank you soo much
Betty Weller 1:1 ratio?
@@arielarcillajr6389 yes.
Dr. Axe.. Vietnamese uses fresh tumeric roots rubbing on scars help to get rid of scar as well
Thanks a billion for this info. Been dealing with acne scars all my life.
NEWS FLASH, SCARS DON'T GO AWAY SILLY, THEY MIGHT DEMINISH WITHIN A YEAR OR SO , FADING, BUT NOTHING ELSE
I would like to know IF this still works on scars one has had for a longggggg time.
Results??? After 5 years
I have used ACV (w/"mother") and aloe Vera gel for 2 months now to heal my stage IV acne and make the scars disappear, and I'm telling you, it works ... My skin was scarred so badly from acne that the scarring (especially on my cheeks) actually changed the overall tone of my skin ... I feel like I'm getting MY skin back... Dr. Axe is right! I look forward to trying some of the essential oils he mentioned...
I use 1 part ACV (Braggs brand w/"the mother") to 1 part Distilled Water ... I use the aloe Vera gel right after the ACV solution dries on my face ... Both i believe work well in connection with each other ...
Did you have pitted scarring?
Pakeezah No, I did not... just very dark marks on my cheeks
Macky C Yeah I have pitted acne scars unfortunately. : ( a Thank you for your prompt response though. God bless you!
Pakeezah Oh thank you... I wish you all the best in your journey towards clear skin 😊
This really calmed my nerves. I purchased the Helichrysum, Calendula, Emu Oil and Onion extract this weekend and I can't wait to get started. I'm get my sutures removed tomorrow and I pray that I don't get keloids 🙏🏿Help me Dear Lord.
Thanks Dr. Axe for sharing all your knowledge. May you and your family be blessed 🌹🌹🌹
did it work?
Hi,where did you purchase these?,did they help
I have faded self harm scars which are completely white. Ive been clean for a long time and it weights me down so much to see the scars. Summer makes me kinda nervous ill try ur things out! Thank you a lot
How you faded them?
did it help
I combine organic extra virgin olive oil, and castor oil 50/50. So far my face has smoothed out a lot. But you have to exfoliate to fully absorb the oils.
Did you have scars on your face?
was it only Castor oil or Black Castor oil?
Dry brushing is making it work even faster for me😊
Tea tree oil is seriously the best - helps me get rid of pimples in one day
What do you mix it with
Rubbish for scars
Tea tree oil helps rid of ACTIVE acne as it's highly antimicrobial (antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral), thus reducing the very bacteria that causes acne - P. Acnes, from manifesting on skin.
But tea tree oil doesn't help rid of scars, no matter indented scars or raised scars.
WOW!!! I recently got a scar and I thought I would have to live with it always. Definitely going to follow your suggestions.
Did they work?
Did it work??!!!
yeah, let us know! Did they work? :)
I never did any of this. Totally forgot that I left this comment. My wounds were so deep that they probably needed stitches. I have just accepted them after all these years. Wish I had tried them but the injury was a little traumatic so I didn't care too much about the scar after a while.
Thank you so much I’ve been struggling for years, I feel like you have changed my life.
How? What have you done and how did it work? Thanks
Do these work on old scars?
Thank you Doctor Axe. Virgin coconut oil works very well for scars and hiperpigmentation. It removes wrinkles and smile lines as well. It leaves your face glowing. I've been using it for 2 months now and l love it.
have the contracture scar from a burn and a keloid right on top of it. Long story, the keloid don't look to bad but that contracture scar gets on my last nerves. I'll have to try all of these oils. I am determined to win this battle 😃
Keep up the amazing work Josh your still being watched in 2021!
One thing that get rid of scars almost over night is nutmeg powder mixed with honey and lemon juice. This recipe helps get rid of acne scars in a couple of days
Faith what about old wound scars?
Texanboiii hmm I haven’t tried this on old wound scars.. sorry. I only know that it makes acne scars disappear really fast.
Deep pitted scars or hyperpigmentation ?
@@itsmidtrib1569 really???? I have a new acne scar on my face and I'm trying to get rid of it I'm using coco butter right now imma have to try this and see if ur info is correct if so I will definitely let u know the final result thanks in advance for the info Reach One Teach One
I guess I can use real 🍋 I think that will be more effective then lemon juice cause ain't lemon juice cut it's not 100%
(5:03) "The biggest ones for me if you really want to see results helichrysum, calendula, and onion extract probably the most powerful three that you could use on a regular basis.
(6:07) If you want to simplify things, get helichrysum oil, calendula, and some onion extract. Mix them together, and put it on topically, two to three times daily. That is going to be the best thing you can do to get rid of any type of scar quickly."
Can you use this mix for deep acne scars?
Can i make onion juice on my own?because I don't know where to buy onion extract.
has anyone tried this? Any success? How long did it take?
@@loshinishini7845 Amazon. Hope this helps!!
Sunflower oil works for me, I was actually afraid to use it at first because I'm highly sensitive to oil and oil based products, but it doesn't block my pores and it's effective in reducing redness and scars.
I'll definitely try Dr. Axe's recommendations, maybe they're better than what I'm using now.
Thanks a lot!
Hey I have so much of nail scratches will this be effective
It helped for what kind of scars? How about acne scars?
Hi, I am a guy, who had deep acne scars over 10years. After watching this video, I went and bought Helycrism, Calendula oils. I take some Onion extract and apply every day night. It has reduced the depth of the scars to a great extent. Thanks you Doc. But still need improvement.
What kind of scaring you have pitted or just hyper pigmentation? ?
@@masoomarizvi9918 pimple scars
@@pearlmaharajan I mean the indentation or just kinda spot on the surface??
Thanks for sharing that with us, I’ve been using only lemon juice and vitamin e capsules, in 1 week I can see a difference already
How do u use lemon n vitamin c capsoles
I used the silicone strips after surgery, highly recommend.
Chad Allon hi, may I ask what brand you used? Did you put any other treatment underneath the strip? Thank you in advance 😇
i have a surgery please what brand name of silicon u use please reply
Chad Allon what brand of silicon please 😊
I have spent a lot of money on silicone strips and they didn’t work at all I even had to reopen my scar to remove the keloids so the new scar can heal better and so far I still have problems with my scar almos 2 years after my surgery now i will try something else because I don’t see any results and I’m tired sad and everything together lol 😂😂😂
@@vanessasanchez9595 vannesa I got my keloids removed. I never put silicon at all but. I apply apple cider vinegar on the are when ever I see enflanation it totally works
I love all your educational videos. Thank you so much. You are the best!!!
So after putting the calendula oil, helichrysum, and onion together when should I start seeing progress?
Yes. When I was younger I used to have a lot of Acne.
Great video once again Dr Axe. I too am curious about how to add the onion extract to the mix? Could you please elaborate a little.
I am currently doing gua sha and fire cupping to help with my surgical scar (1.5years old) along with castor oil packs, fascia blasting, skin brushing. I am going to apply these tips as well.
You forgot rosehip and tamanu oil.
and castor oil
Jaqen H'gar 1.Glucosamine MSM cream 2.Rosehip oil 3.Mederma scar gel (may use reg. or intensive 💪) (topically) adding Glucosamine orally will boost! Also helps joints.
@@michelleperry852 hey did u have these thing on yourself?
And how the results is?
Dr. Josh hello ! Hope you are doing good during this pandemic situation , my question to you is that how much time will It take for these essential oils to work on years old accidental scars and how much difference can be seen ?
Dr
For the most three powerful ingredients that you mentioned can you please provide the exact measurements and for how long we need to leave it on?
For all those asking if these methods work, they could but not fully.I ve had a keloid/hypertrophic scar and tried everything possible from oils gels silicone sheets for years and nothing helped.The only thing that has worked in my case was Corticosteroid injections.After the injection the scars will be inflammed for a couple of days and then in a month or two they will shrink to the skin level and almost dissapear.
Which oils are best for a new small open wound?
Tea trea, lavender, Frankincense, Manuka oil?
Or does Helichrysum, Calendula, Onion extract mix work for open wounds too?
I have found it's hard to find these oils that you can trust
They are very essential. Ive tried the onions, lemon, honey and potatoes but the best of all is the proteolytic enzymes which you haven’t mention on here! Pure natural organic are good for new scars but not with the very old scars and keloidal scars base on my experiences! I am prone to scarring since when I was a little and tbh I still got some few of them until now that never get rid of by just using those natural organic. Tried the proteolytic enzymes supplement and it really makes wonder. My keloidal scars were almost gone now!
Where can I buy some where do they sell it at
@@Yungakhi89 Doctor's Best Serrapeptase & Now Bromelain 2400 GDU/g are two you may want to look into for proteolytic enzymes.
Where can I get the proteolytic enzymes supplements to buy
I will try your top recommendation for a recent scar and report back in about a month. Thanks for sharing.
Hi about the essential you used its effective to you?
Hi,Josh thank you for sharing your videos ,they are the most helpful.
How about having a scar for more than 2yrs
Hello doctor love your videos you are the best. Can you tell me if coconut oil and Shea butter is good for face and body as a moisturizer?
They are very moisturizing and lovely.
better to eat fatty meats
How about hyperpigmentation? What gets rid of that?
Aloe vera gel really works
Coconut oil works very well for hiperpigmentation. It removes wrinkles and smile lines as well. It leaves your face glowing. I've been using it for 2 months now and l love it.
Thank you so much! Hope these will work... I'll definitely give them a try!
It's not easy for me to find onion extract in the UK. Can I use onion essential oil instead?
what are the best essential oils for only acne scars. I suffer from having a few large acne scars around my cheeks :/ It really bothers me.
Thank you Dr. Axe, your videos are always fantastic!
Regarding the scar recipe you suggested in the video of using helichrysum oil + calendula oil + onion extract, where can we find the onion extract? is that like onion oil?
Amazon
My scars are old would this still work
Great lesson, thanks so much.
Coconut oil and olive oil cause acne breakout on my face, cause they are comedogenic. I don't think I can use them on my acne scar.
I will share my experience. I had a minor scrape on my hand. Did the usual and cleansed and added anti-bacterial ointment. I still have the scar it is white and its been 20 years. If I had been more informed I would have applied sunscreen. I worked outside and didn’t protect my hands and as a result the sun seared the scar. Point of this is: cover your skin while healing with a bandaid and apply sunscreen or wear gloves . Just in general wear protection and apply sunscreen anywhere your skin is in contact with the skin rays: ears, nose, lips. I had a cancer scare as well: but , that is for another time.
No
Hi Dr Axe, for the pitted acne scarring, how much of helicrysum and calendula should we use and how long do we keep it on our face for?
Thank you Dr Axe for sharing I've had 11 different Orthopedic surgeries lots of scars this was informative
Which one of these is best for acne scars?
does this also include dark spots/hypermentation from eczema
Lemonvate cream is good for that. It's sold in beauty supplies.
Green/neon colored

I have been using a lot of these! I hope I can see results soon!
howd it work so far?
Will this completely rid of my cut marks
Hi Doc! Great information you’ve got here! One question: You suggest that we use coconut oil as a carrier oil to essentials. Can we substitute it with another type of oil or has coconut oil got any anti-scar properties? If yes, what are they?
Thank you.
It's just the carrier.
Try Grape seed oil, I’m not fond of coconut oil either due to it being comedogenic and I have oily skin.
he did say prefers calendula oil and emu oil
Coconut oil is more of an antiseptic and can be very drying... Bc it is more of a carrier. It can also make your pores very large bc its really heavy as it absorbs if used alone.
He already answered that question. Calendula Oil
Thank you so much for this information.
My question is how long do you recommend leaving Helichrysum, calendula & onion extract on??
Ff
thank you so much Doc Josh. this is so much big help for me. you save my life. ❤️❤️❤️
Hello
I wonder the ratio for your recommendation with onion extract, hellychrisum oil and carendula oil.

Hi Dr. Axe. Two weeks ago I removed five facial moles. Currently the area is very red. I'm going on a beach vacation in 2-weeks and am seeking a treatment that will speed up the healing process. Would combining and administering helichrysum oil, calendula oil and onion extract to the area be a sensible treatment to speed up the healing process? Thank you.
How did you remove the moles?
Does he ever comment back?
How did you remove your facial moles? 😮
Thank You, Dr. Axe, Excellent advice.

What would be the best to use for 3+ year old self harm scars? Thanks :)
I just recently saw his video and he states that the best for all scars and what would be his best suggestion is the helichrysum, calendula and onion oils. I believe it should work just as well and not matter what type of scar it is.
(5:03) "The biggest ones for me if you really want to see results helichrysum, calendula, and onion extract probably the most powerful three that you could use on a regular basis.

Dr. Axe - could you please do a video on Emu oil? Also any oils which could help with dryness caused by perioral dermatitis . Thank you in anticipation .
Coco butter, baking soda and apple cider vinegar works as well, toothpaste and baking soda mixed with lemon juice, tea tree oil or frankenscents oil.
I simply love your videos. Keep up the good work 👏🏾
Thank you Handsome doctor! (:
I have used everything you suggested since February but no change what so ever. do you have any other suggestions?
You said helichrysum & calendula (+onion extract) mixture works on ANY type of scars so do you *guarantee* that it’ll work on old pitted acne scars? I’m not talking about discoloration, but textural problem
