“Do you have any strategies for healing deep cuts on the surface of the skin, that threaten to leave permanent and horribly unsightly scars? I had an injury last Monday evening.” -Maynard

Dear Maynard,

Wild rosehip seed oil is remarkable for its ability to reduce the appearance of scars, and it can be applied daily once the scab has come off.  See the pictures of scar reduction in this blog from a clinical study done in Chile in 1978.

The first major study documenting rosehip seed oil’s unique ability for skin regeneration was done five years later, in 1983, at University of Concepcion, a prestigious university in Chile. In this two-year study, rosehip seed oil was applied to 180 patients with surgical, traumatic and post-burning scars, and to a group suffering from premature aging. Pictures were taken over a few months of continuous application, showing how effectively the oil worked in helping attenuating scars and wrinkles, in preventing advancement of premature aging, and in regaining lost skin natural color and tone.

Since that time many other studies have been done in other universities, both in Chile and other countries, and all showed the same outstanding effects.

Mirea Ellis says she finds the pure, organic, unrefined rosehip seed oil from Chile works better than refined oils, or any combination with other oils, or creams, which have a larger molecular size and do not penetrate as deep for as effective results. The best quality wild rosehip seed oil is thick, rich, deep orange in color and has what I call a “dark” aroma, not like the flowery smell of roses. You only need a few drops for each area, which makes it economical, and should apply it twice a day.

The reason it is so effective is its unique types and combination of nutrients not found in other oils, including trans retinoic acid. The reason you will not find unrefined (nutrient dense) rosehip seed oil commonly available is because it does not have a long shelf life, and most manufacturers will not carry such a product. It is also one of the more expensive oils, so cutting an unrefined version with other oils makes a cheaper product for manufacturers.

You can buy fresh, certified organic wild rosehip seed oil in dark glass bottles from the natural body care company Mirea founded, Rejuva Organics. Rejuva Organics only provides the amount of product to Kushi Store that will sell within a month or less, so it is always fresh.

Mirea will be speaking on truly natural and effective ways to take care of your body and enhance beauty, plus easy ways to determine if a product contains toxic ingredients, at The Power of Natural Healing Conference on Saturday, August 2 at 3:00 PM. Call 1-800-975-8744 for more information.
