Is the castor oil with essential oils still working for you? Can you tell me what kinds of changes you noticed, and how often you apply?Replied By Nan (Austin, Tx) on 10/06/2016
How did you mix these things up? Please give specifics. Thanks!Replied By Mama To Many (Tennessee) on 10/06/2016
Dear Nan,
When I use Lemongrass essential oil on the skin, I dilute it a lot. It is very strong and can burn the skin. Lavender is more gentle.
I would try a mixture of the following:
- 1 tablespoon castor oil
- 1 DROP lemongrass essential oil
- 3 drops lavender essential oil
I hope it is helpful to you! Our family has certainly found the above oils to help with different ailments.

Right now clobetasol for three weeks. Keeping it covered .. But thing is it doesn't itch,, not yet .. I've had it about two months .. So I'm looking for natural cures..

I've been mixing a batch of castor oil and lemongrass and lavender oils rather than mixing every time I use it. It isn't helping very much and I've been using it daily for months. I use clobestol sparingly as it can make the situation worse my doctor said. Any other natural remedies that someone has tried.Replied By Judem (Illinois) on 05/04/2018
I've had LS in my genital and anal area for years. Stopped using steroids because of the thinning of skin in that area. It would split and bleed. I've used 1% hydrocortisone cream for the itiching and try to remember to put it on several times a day before the itching starts. I recently saw a spot on my underside of my breast. The dermatologist diagnosed it as LS without knowing I'd have a previous history. the strange thing is, it has never itched. I'm wondering if the itching is more common if the LS is located in parts of the body where it's skin on skin, or if natural moisture has something to do with it. I am going to try some of the remedies suggested on here. Right now, at the direction of the doctor, I'm back to using a steriod cream, but I want to get away from it as soon as possible. Thanks to all for your input. I've learned a lot.Replied By Nicci (Western Australia) on 05/16/2018
Hi there, I have recently been diagnosed with LS and would like to try natural therapy. I have lemongrass & lavender essential oils, along with castor oil. I was just wondering if you could please advise how often and for how long you applied? Is it something that needs to be applied daily for the rest of my life? I was also wondering how u insert it? I feel that I'm strugggling with this part. Thanks for your time.Replied By Frances (Cabarlah, Qld.) on 05/19/2018
I wouldn't recommend inserting it personal opinion; however, apply externally as often as necessary, e.g. after toilet. I prefer to use a lighter oil during the day (jojoba, coconut) and use the castor oil with lavender essential oil overnight.
