Herbal Healing

This blog is dedicated to herbal healing and other natural health remedies. In an attempt to deepen my own knowledge, I will share information on a variety of herbs, focusing largely on easy to find Western plants, as well as methods for preparing herbal medicines and natural beauty treatments. I am not a certified herbalist, licensed cosmetologist, or physician, so please use the information on this blog at your own risk! I've been an aspiring herbalist for several years, and I hope to finally get my certification sometime this year.

any treatment for stretch marks out there?

Stretch marks are scars, so there’s not much you can do after they’ve “healed” and become a white-ish silvery color.  If they’re still new and a purple/reddish color, you can use cocoa butter on your skin every day to fade and smooth them!

  1. withhertinyfists said: comfrey has been known to prevent scarring as well as reducing visibility of scars already apparent. make a comfrey ointment. there are plenty of recipes.
  2. ayo-richi said: Regular use of cocoa butter on stretch marks smooth them just as when they are forming. however, it isn’t permanent and would need to be reapplied
