Hands Peeling

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I sure hope someone can help me.

 

The last few days my hands are wrinkled as though I

had been sitting in water for hours. They are peeling

like crazy, in big sheets in some places and little

ones everythere. The only thing I can think of is that

I have juiced a number of lemons lately, and perhaps

the juice gets on my hands, and maybe this could do

it? I sure hope that is it, because if it is not,

yikes! Nothing else on my body is peeling (thank

goodness), so it would at least " seem " that it would

be a contact kind of thing rather than something I'm

taking internally. It's really gross though.

 

My friend said it looked just like hers did once when

she had done a cleansing, and there was candida coming

out.

 

I wonder if anyone else has had something like this,

and what you may have done to " fix " it. I haven't used

lemons since this started, but when I do, I'll have to

use plastic gloves to be safe.

 

Would there be a particularly good cream or salve that

I could make for this particular condition?

 

Thanks for any ideas you have.

 

Valerie

Thanks, Sorcy.

 

I remembered I had Shea butter when you mentioned it, so I slept with

a ton of it on my hands with gloves covering them. I just took them

off a couple of seconds ago, and they are still pretty moist.

 

No, they don't FEEL wet and soggy; they just LOOK wet and soggy on the

fingers where they are all shriveled. Everything is terribly dry.

 

Since I do have jojoba, emu, comfrey, aloe, and chamomile e.o., as

well as the Shea butter, I'll whip something up later. Maybe a cream

or lotion for the day and a salve (which I've never made) for night

with the gloves. I also have several of the herbs you mentioned, some

of which I have been using in a tea lately since I had gotten sick.

 

Anyway, many thanks for your suggestions. I'll follow up later today.

Yes, at the moment I am oil rich! Feels good!

 

> be careful with the gloves...

 

Yes, who knows, I guess I could end up being allergic

to the material in the gloves too.....but really, they

feel so " comforting " somehow.

I love this idea. I think that could be very

beneficial. I'll definitely do this.

 

Now for the embarrassing part. After all your

wonderful help, I've been running crazy the last

couple of days with my parents and haven't had the

chance to make anything! I've been using all the oils,

but separately, to see what I liked best for this

condition in the meantime. Then a few hours ago my

mate insisted that I call his friend, the

ex-pharmacist, to see what he had to say. He suggests

I use Aveeno. I know, I know...the only thing is I

have used the bath stuff, and that stuff is great for

psoriosis (which I have). I'll have to get my book out

to see what all these ingredients actually ARE of

course, because I have no idea. But in the meantime it

does feel pretty soothing, and it soaks in quickly.

 

> For salve, just thicken with beeswax...

 

Thank you for this! I will definitely be doing this at

a later time.

Grrr.....Don't you just hate that????? )

Thanks, Sorcy. Well, nobody believes it is the lemon I

was juicing. Now the REST of the information ) is I

was sick for a couple of weeks and didn't feel really

strong again until this past weekend.....I was just

doing herbs and stuff but doing a LOT of them.....and

for the last week I was making tea (frequently) with

chickweed, comfrey, marshmallow, and slippery elm to

help get up any remaining phlegm I had (great

combination; it really helps a cough for me). Perhaps

it was too much, and surely I wasn't drinking enough

water in the beginning when I was first sick, or

perhaps I'm allergic to one of those herbs. Or perhaps

it's the boogies coming out of me! I just figured it

had to be contact stuff since it was just my hands,

but now it's SEVERAL people who have told me that they

had the same thing with their hands when they had

" stuff " coming out of them (though nobody remembers

what they did about it, of course). So perhaps?

Thanks, Sorcy, for all your wonderful suggestions.

You're so great, and always helpful.

 

Love,

Valerie
