Blend 18 was originally developed in our clinic as a treatment for the painful condition of shingles (an adult version of chicken pox) and cold sores.

Though other blends in the range are excellent anti-viral blends, they all have an affinity to the respiratory system and are not designed to be effective in the treatment of viral skin conditions - in particular, shingles where the viral infection leads to severe irritation, inflammation and discomfort.

I have used the blend in the treatment of shingles, chicken pox, warts, verrucae and cold sores - all with great effect in clearing the infection and bringing almost instant relief from itching etc.

The initial impact of Blend 18 on the skin is that of Roman Chamomile with Lavender together with Geranium which work together to soothe and calm inflammation whilst the potent anti-viral properties of Tea Tree, Eucalyptus and Bergamot address the core problem followed by the deeper healing of Sage, Myrrh and Patchouli. The effects are cumulative.

Contra-indications for Blend 18
To test your reaction to a blend or oil, simply apply a few drops of what you intend to use onto the gauze of a normal plaster and put the plaster on your fore arm leaving for 24 hours. If there is no reaction or irritation you should have no problems.

When to use
Blend 18 should be used twice daily (morning and evening after washing).
