I tried to ease burning with chamomile in coconut oil with some success (better than nothing so far). I put about 10 tsp. of dried chamomile flowers in a glass jar and cover them with melted coconut oil. close the jar and put it in boiling water bath for about 20-30 minutes and then let it cool and leave over night. The next day I drained the oil trough sterile gauze. It is light yellow and smells nice like chamomile tea. Put it in the fridge and then cut the piece of it with (hot sterilised) knife. I put this oil first on the outside to check the reaction and because it was o.k. the next day I started using small amount internally. It is far from cure, but it decreased burning at least a little. Maybe it is not for everyone, because we react so differently, maybe tomorrow it will not do me good. It seems to me the fissure has its own rules ad what helped me yesterday will burn me tomorrow.

I find that coconut oil has a very low melting temperature so it often disappears before it goes in.. but cutting into bigger pieces like you do take some skills. Camomile sounds like a good idea too! Can I infuse the oil with Camomile teabag instead?
rio wrote:I think you can try tea bags. But I think oil will need more time to penetrate in to tea bags to extract enough of camomile esentials (with direct contact to the flowers it might be more potent) and I am not sure about possible chemicals in the paper. I used quite a lot of flowers comparing to oil (equal to 20 tea bags) and approx. 60 ml of oil).
