My 2-year-old had a severe reaction to an unknown cause, and doctors recommended various products that only worsened her condition. Her skin peeled off and became raw and itchy, and I was afraid of long-term damage. However, I found a natural solution by creating a cream with coconut oil, tea tree oil, aloe vera gel, and raw honey. The cream healed her skin, and it was cost-effective and all natural. I hope this helps others!
List below are all benefits and facts about each ingredient used
-coconut oil Coconut oil has been used traditionally to treat skin infections and moisturize skin. It contains medium-chain fatty acids, such as lauric and capric acid, that have antimicrobial properties that can help protect against harmful microorganisms that cause skin infections like acne, cellulitis, folliculitis, and athlete's foot. These fatty acids can disrupt the cell membranes of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, leading to cell death
-tea tree helps Yes, tea tree oil (TTO) can help treat some skin infections:
Bacterial infections
TTO has antimicrobial properties and can inhibit the growth of bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. These bacteria can cause serious infections, including pneumonia, urinary tract infections, respiratory illness, bloodstream infections, strep throat, sinus infections, and impetigo. TTO can be used to treat certain types of staph infections.
-Aloe vera has many properties that may help treat skin infections, including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties:
Antibacterial
Aloe vera's leaf and root extracts have antibacterial properties against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.to treat skin infections.
Aloe vera contains six antiseptic agents, including salicylic acid, cinnamonic acid, and sulfur, that can inhibit bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
Anti-inflammatory
Aloe vera contains the enzyme bradykinase, which can reduce inflammation, redness, swelling, pain, and heat
-Raw organic honey can help reduce skin infections due to its antibacterial properties, which can kill a variety of wound pathogens. Honey can also help wounds heal by keeping them moist and creating a protective barrier to prevent infection. In addition, honey has anti-inflammatory properties that can help with skin conditions like acne and psoriasis.
