Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 hare krishna My wife has a problem of itching skin on her breast (one only). It is not on the nipple. There is a slightly visible change on the skin surface. It started some time after she started breast feeding, but it is hard to see any connection to it. Anyway, maybe anyone could suggest some simple remedy for it. Thank you in advance. yours sincirely Gopala Acarya dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Problem is known as thrush. Naturopaths attribute it to Candida albicans. Take 4 tsp sesame oil in a metal cup, heat the oil on low flame, after adding one clove of garlic (slightly crushed/chopped fine). Remove from fire when garlic pieces turn maroon color. Strain the oil and apply when cool. Twice a day. Once itching stops, continue for two more days. If available, you can also use juice of fresh tulsi leaves; but garlic infused oil will work faster. Before making garlic oil, you can also try simple coconut oil for two days and if it does not work, go to garlic oil. Tea tree oil is also another remedy. _____________ My wife has a problem of itching skin on her breast (one only). It is not on the nipple. There is a slightly visible change on the skin surface.
