skin rash

[Guest guest]

Hello Dear Stephanie,

 

I've been reading about your daughter's recurring rash breakouts and

it seems there may be room here for another suggestion. When

approaching my favorite system of natural first aid symptom relief

(G-J0 acupressure) I found it named impetigo or hives, and so started

there.

 

Acupressure for infants and children is gentler than for adults to

whom we apply up to twenty pounds of pressure, (in a compassionate,

healing manner of course).

 

We have observed rapid disipation of 'heat rash' for example, during

in a Florida summer, when an infant's parents apt. A.C. unit failed.

The rash simply disappeared in front of our disbelieving eyes.

 

Now I don't know for sure if that is considered 'burying or masking a

symptom', yet I think not. It's more akin to when we use G-Jo for

allergies (non-specific), it merely sponsors release of our own

anti-histamines to calm the hyperactive cells. Hasn't it been said we

have everything we need at our disposal ?!?

 

I took a few minutes to dowse some preferred points for you to try if

you would. One is located on the back of the neck, a couple of baby

thumb widths off the point where the skull joins the spine. The other

is found on the inner wrist right where the hand arm meet, in line

with the middle finger.

 

Finding the point(s) in this system means coming into it with the tip

of the finger or thumb and goading a bit to feel a 'special spot' or

seeing a reaction from your child. Interestingly when applied to

toddlers they admit to feeling 'pain or discomfort' but don't attempt

to pull away. It is a 'pure pain, one the body recognizes as

necessary.' Stay with each point on both sides for a minute or so, or

until the rash subsides. Naturally you'll stop the stimulation when

the rash goes down.

 

Anyway, Best of Luck, 'won't hurt to try' Using G-Jo since '78

 

Regards, Frederick

My son went through this about a year ago, at age 4. It lasted about a

week. We thought it was a food, since we were just getting his diet off

gluten and getting other allergies ironed out. My mother-in-law asked if it

was something specific, like " slapped face disease " , LOL. I don't remember

exactly what it was but the symptoms were come-and-go rash and red, hot

cheeks, little bit of cold symptoms. Hope this at least reassures you that

it has happened to others. I'd recommend the same comfort measures others

have offered.

[s-A] skin rash

 

Hello there,

 

My youngest daughter (23 months) has been getting this strange rash that I

can't figure out. It's like hives where the skin gets red then there is a

white welt in the middle. She's been breaking out with this hive like rash

for a couple of days now. It comes and goes as quickly as it comes on.
