Apple Cider And Other Foods That Treat Actinic Keratosis

Castor Oil

Castor oil is another of nature's oils harvested from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plants. Its thick and sticky texture makes it ideal to put on the skin where it stays in place on its own. It also hydrates deep into the skin. It can be applied with a cotton ball or dabbed on with the fingers in a thin, even layer. Castor oil contains antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory materials and could start to work within one or two weeks.

Tea Tree Oil

Although not considered a food, tea tree oil, when mixed with virgin coconut oil, has lead to successful results among people affected by actinic keratosis. The coconut oil acts to dilute the potency of the tea tree oil, which tends to dry out the skin. The mixture can be applied to the affected area as needed multiple times per day and might take some time of regular use to see results.
