5 out of 5 stars

I have tried Edgar Cayce's recipe for scars on my 20-year-old stretch marks and, after using it daily for two months, I have noticed amazing results (about 70% gone)! So I will keep using it until they fade completely. The most important ingredient is camphor. Btw, camphor is also what gives Vicks Vaporub its caracteristic smelll... I guess this could the ingredient that makes it work for some people. It didn't work for me, though. So I decided to keep looking until I found this recipe for scars in Cayce's readings:

2 ounces of camphor oil
1 ounce of peanut oil
1/2 teaspoon of camphor

The most difficult ingredient to find was the organic cold-pressed peanut oil. I purchased it online from a natural food store. I had always believed that stretch marks could only be removed by surgery. I was delighted to find out that this is not true!

I am so happy it worked for you! It worked for me also! I also put it on my face at night - and have minimal wrinkles - as I am 40 years old about to be 41 in Feb. - I have been using Cayce's remedies for approx 25 years! I use Castor Oil plain and I use the peanut oil, olive oil and camphor oils also. I am so glad it is working for you though! Keep up the good work.

Ale, could you tell me the difference between the camphor oil and the camphor in the recipe? Thanks

Replied By Brooke (Montgomery, Tx, Usa) on 01/08/2011

Kay,
I think that she means the Camphor crystals. I have them in my medicine cabinet. You can also get camphor oil, which is just camphor crystals dissolved in olive oil. I make my own as it is less expensive. For my scars (that I use to have! ) I use Scargo which is the same as: Camphorated oil 2 ounces, Lanolin 1/2 teaspoon, and Peanut oil 1 ounce. However, it takes a long time to make the new skin grow back - so don't give up!!

Brooke is right, Kay. It is cheaper to make camphor oil at home by dissolving camphor crystals in olive oil. That's what I did. Just make sure you buy natural camphor and not the synthetic one.

One could easily purchase Camphor oil here in the UK, but I'm not sure that is the case in all countries, due to its toxicity (http://www.ageless.co.za/herb-camphor.htm).

Which makes me wonder, Brooke, how safe it is to use this recipe as a long-term treatment on the face (even though I am sure it delivers impressive results and am dying to try it...).

The truth is that I have been doing this for approx 1-2 weeks at night with the Scargo oil on my face and yesterday morning I woke up with terrible dryness around my lower part of my face and lips!! So if you are to try this, then I wouldn't do it every night!! Maybe one time a week would be ok - but I am not going to try it again until my face gets back to normal!!

Replied By Ale (Cardiff, Uk) on 01/15/2011

I tried it on my face last night and this morning I did experience some dryness. I already have pretty dry skin, so I don't think I will try it again. Thanks for the heads-up, though!

Another possibility would be to use it every other day, alternating with the olive oil and myrrh tincture mix that Cayce recommended for scars as well...

Hi I am just now reading this, I have been with stretch marks for 5 years now, can you please explain to me the process, I'm very new here I'm a little confused, how many times a day do you do this, and do you heat the olive oil and then put the camphor in? Details would be nice thank you so much.

Hi. I was so glad to read that the use of this recipe has been making such a dramatic difference! I am wondering can a quantity of the mixture be made to use over time or do you have to make it fresh for each usage?

Also, I would probably have to use something other than peanut oil. I would probably try cocoa butter or almond oil with the camphor oil and camphor. These are the closest to peanut oil I think. Please give any info. you can. I am happy for you that it is really helping to heal your skin.

Wishing you well, Ann

Just a correction on the above recipe. It should read:

2 ounces of Camphor Oil
1 ounce of Peanut Oil
1/2 teaspoon of Lanolin (melted)

And Camphor oil can be made by adding 1 Oz Camphor Granules to 4 Oz Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Let the granules dissolve into the olive oil for a day or two.

If I may ask, when you say that you applied this concoction daily, can you be more specific?

Did you apply this once, twice or thrice per day? Did you use a dermaroller or did you just apply the oils on their own? And did you wrap yourself in saranwrap to let the oils soak in as deeply as possible?

Sorry to ask so many questions, but your testimonial has given me so much hope for the first time in a LONG time, that I wish to be sure that I properly do what you have done.

I thank you in advance for understanding.

Her recipe is misquoted. The most important ingredient in the Cayce scar remedy is olive oil (which should be first in the ingredients list there). She accidentally put camphor twice.

Are you talking about that camphor ice tablet when you say camphor?
