skin condition

[Guest guest]

Hi Rosemarie

Well the first question I'd ask is, do you eat a lot of dairy foods? Sometimes

these bumps on the upper arms are a dairy allergy. But certainly it could have

something to do with what you're putting in to your body. I think I'd visit a

homeopath (or iridologist).

Once you have the condition diagnosed, with possibly some medication or dietary

advice, then essential oils can help to get rid of the bumps more quickly (a

beauty

therapist might also be able to help). I'd say you need astringent oils, your

namesake rosemary, hyssop, cypress, cedarwood, juniper, lemon, pathchouli and

rose

to name a few. I would also suggest that you do not use a body lotion that is

made

of lanolin or mineral oil such as aqueous cream. These form a barrier on the

skin

so nothing can get in or, more importantly in your case, out. Stick to

vegetable

oils or creams made with whipped vegetable oils.

Let us know what happens.
