Can anyone help with my skin condition?

[Guest guest]

Dear Rose,

I adviced a gentleman with a problem that sounds like yours.

What I suggested to him was:

Steep several bags of camomile tea in a teapot or pan. (the tea bags were

cheaper than the EO for him) Run a bath of lukewarm water and pour tea into

it. Relax and soak.

Get yourself a blue or amber colored 4 oz glass spray bottle. add five drops

of lavender EO and fill the rest up with distilled water. Spray a light mist

on your body.

coming out of lurking...as I know the answer to this one!!!!

 

this is a common reaction to dairy allergies. I have it, my father has it,

my sister has it, my son, stepsons, their mother...we all have it. In

pregnancy it does seem to get worse, as women think that more dairy is

necessary for the calcium. Same follows for breastfeeding.

 

Mine gets worse with an increase in dairy products....the only way to treat

it thus far is to cut it out of our diets altogether. Start with the

obvious dairy products...cheese, milk, sour cream, ice cream, etc etc and

see if the condition gets any better at all. Perhaps getting some allergy

testing to find out what parts of the dairy you are allergic to as well.

Casien, rennet, lactose, all??

 

I have yet to find a skin cream, lotion, oil, etc that works, although some

say that high vit. A doses will help (although this is a bad idea if you are

preg or nursing).

 

Hope that this helps!!!!!
