Guest guest Posted June 7, 2002 Report Share Posted June 7, 2002 I realize I just joined this group and I hope no one thinks badly of me for asking, but I have eczema on my hands and lower legs that just about drives me out of my mind. The only thing I've ever done about it is use Dove soap and turn down my shower. Is there anything anyone can think of for me to try? I've been tormented by this for 14 years. If anyone can help me, I'll knit a pair of socks for him/her. thank you everyone and forgive me for asking for help before you even know me. marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 You know I had forgotten about Vitamin E... but it does help many kinds of skin problems. Suzi Victim <tom wrote: Try mixing a bit of Vitamin E oil (pure) with Propolis and rubbing it directly onto the problem area. there was a story on the tele the other night about a new miracle cream foe eczema and from what i noticed these would have been the two most active ingredients.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 Eczema can have many causes, but one of the most common is liver trouble. It is always a good idea to check for that with diagnostic tricks, and use a gentle herbal treatment to see if it gets better. What often happens is that the body is taking something toxic that is too much for the liver to handle, and re-routing it through the lymph system out to the skin. The corrolary to this is that there may be something either in the diet or the environment that the body is regarding as a poison. It can be difficult to figure out what this is, but once it is eliminated, the problem would go away for good. Standard liver herbs include milk thistle, oregon grape, star anise, and burdock. There are many great tinctures out on the market which combine these and other herbs -- i have used a variety over the years and almost all of them worked well. Other liver symptoms, besides skin problems, include dandruff, a gritty sensation in the right eye, and rotator cuff trouble, particularly in the right shoulder. These are the diagnostic tricks i referred to earlier.
