It is suitable for use on a broad range of topical conditions. Tamanu oil is the most potent natural oil known to be effective for a wide range of skin issues. Tamanu oil possesses a unique capacity to promote the formation of new tissue, thereby naturally accelerating wound healing and the growth of healthy skin. This process of forming new tissue is known as cicatrization. Oil of tamanu appears to be one of the most effective known cicatrizing agents in nature. It is a widely used traditional topical aid. In Pacific Island folk medicine, tamanu oil is applied liberally to cuts, scrapes, burns, insect bites and stings, abrasions, acne and acne scars, psoriasis, sunburn, dry or scaly skin, blisters, eczema and to reduce foot and body odor. Tamanu oil is used by polynesian women for promoting healthy, clear, blemish, free skin and is also used on babies to reduce diaper rash and skin eruptions. The oil is as effective if diluted by 50 percent with either coconut oil or another suitable topical oil. There is no apparent loss of efficacy for first aid purposes when the oil is diluted by half.
