Internal and External Treatment
Hello Ted. I purchased potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and 3% hydrogen peroxide. Can you tell what are the measurements or amounts of each? EX: 2 tb of potassium bicarbonate with 1 tb of hydrogen peroxide. I tried applying this last night and did not have any success. I am hoping I didn't have the correct measurements. Also, how long should it be applied for?
If there is a scar on the skin, the best remedy is a topical one, such as aloe vera and/or vaseline applied to the area, plus some natural vitamin E. Vitamin E reduces natural scarring while aloe vera gels and even aloe vera drinks contain allantoin to speed healing.
Internally, taking baking soda, and potassium bicarbonate reduces the scar by allowing the body to heal faster, but it won't directly reduce the scar if no topical application is used.
The remedy for baking soda is just 1/4 teaspoon and 1/4 teaspoon of potassium bicarbonate plus 3 drops of 3% H2O2 in 1 glass of water. This is taken twice a day. I had a friend whose her whole face was peeling and potentially causing real scars and it was magically relieved when I applied thinly aloe vera oil plus vitamin E and vitamin A. It should be noted that aloe vera oil works best if it is not applied everyday, but once every two or three days. However, most commercial aloe vera gel with added aloe vera oil can be applied almost everyday since the concentration in those product are below 0.5% and a vitamin E is added to prevent scarring.
If a sodium and potassium bicarbonate with peroxide is used, vitamin E should also be taken internally to reduce scarring. One interesting anti scarring remedy is to apply colorless iodine or perhaps just a simple iodine to area affected. Some doctors have noted some regeneration of skin from Iodine. Although I haven't experimented with this one yet.
