Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 I sure could use some words of advice for a horrible itchy rash I have which encompasses my entire torso. I look scalded and itch uncontrollably. It began over three weeks ago on my stomach and has spread daily. It is not an allergy to food or contact substances, not mites either. Four months ago I adopted the Eat Right for Blood Type diet. For these sixteen weeks my diet has consisted of ONLY buffalo, salmon, broccoli, okra, spinach, eggs, flaxseed oil, multivitamins, and 6 qts of water each day. Ten days ago I dropped out the eggs and vits, thinking allergy. No change. For 3 days at Thanksgiving I ate lightly of many different foods. No change. Two days ago I began a water fast. Noticable change - spread farther quickly and got much redder. Other than the itching, I feel really GOOD. I am female,63. I will try or do anything that might get this condition reversed. I hope someone can help. Please write me directly. honiholo Thanks, Pat in WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa (Lemon Balm)- Folk healers in the Middle Ages considered melissa (Melissa officinalis)something of a cure-all, relying on it for everything to rashes to insect bites. Sedative, spasm-reducing (spasmolytic), and anti-bacterial properties abound in this fragrant herb. A compress soaked in the concentrated, cooled tea makes a comforting healing dressing.As an astringent, the tea applied topically probably promotes healing in rashes by tightening the skin. Specifically, melissa may help to: Treat rashes and shingles: Clinical trials indicate that substances in melissa's volatile oils make this herb a promising remedy for treating rashes and cold sores, the painful lip lesions caused by the herpes simplex (type 1) virus. Melissa has been shown to speed healing of lesions, especially when taken at the first signs of an outbreak. Topical formulations of melissa have been recommended for treating rashes. --To be effective for fighting rashes and lesions caused you need to use a cream-based product containing a concentrated extract of melissa. In Germany, the melissa rash cream/ointment is sold under the name 'Lomaherpan'; in the United States it can be found under various names, such as " Herpalieve " and " Herpilyn " . http://www.wholehealthmd.com/refshelf/substances_view/1,1525,10043,00 ..html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Hello Pat, You did not clearly state just how long you have had this rash. A healing reaction should not be repressed. If you can endure it continue with the rash until it resolves on its own. Homeopathic treatment is your best bet not to repress but to set in order whatever cellular problem that is causing a rash. Remember, your skin is your largest organ of elimination and you may think of things that you have done in the past to repress a disease of the skin that is behind this current rash. (also, are you sure that you have not incorporated something new into your diet that you may be allergic to?) It is very difficult to recommend a homeopathic remedy without seeing and talking to you but I will try. Uritica Urens 30 or 200c for a few days may be of help. Find a homoepath. There are many remedies that will eliminate a rash quickly but likely only someone with a little skill will be able to find it for you.
