Guest guest Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Ilana, I often get skin splitting from overuse of household chemicals. Even a ecological Ecover product recently bought is doing this to my hands. Put some pure Tea Tree oil on it, put a plaster over it, leave it for 24 hours and presto!! Works like a miracle. However, if the cut is severe, it may need a second such treatment before it's going, but still 48 hours is not bad going LOL Lisa - Ilana Grostern herbal remedies Thursday, February 13, 2003 9:24 PM Re: [herbal remedies] Digest Number 1909 mjh,Doesn't lanolin come from sheep?My finger has split open at one part and probably runs the risk of infection if I don't take care of it, so maybe the tea tree is just the ticket!Thanks,ILANA xoxoILANA xoxofoxhillers wrote: Ilana The birds are slaughtered and turned into emu soup then cooled so the oil can be more easily separated from the other parts.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Try it, I suffered for years to I'm 21 and haven't had a relapse in 4 years, also catching it early is a big thing, try not to let it get that far, even if its just app;ying something like chapstick, that is what my dad does.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 Ilana Yes, lanolin is from sheep, but they are not slaughtered for the oil, it's in the wool. Tea tree oil will help with INFECTIONS, but sounds like you need more omega-3 oils and vitamins A and D in your diet. Probably something like vit E oil on your finger will help a lot. mjh herbal remedies , Ilana Grostern <ilana@c...> wrote: > mjh, > Doesn't lanolin come from sheep? > > My finger has split open at one part and probably runs the risk of > infection if I don't take care of it, so maybe the tea tree is just the > ticket! > > Thanks, > ILANA xoxo > > ILANA xoxo > > foxhillers@a... wrote: > > > Ilana > > The birds are slaughtered and turned into emu soup then cooled so > > the oil can be more easily separated from the other parts. > > Aloe, lanolin, olive and coconut and cocoa butter are options. > > By the way, I known tea tree oil as a powerful antimicrobial > > agent.... but have never heard of it used for non infected skin > > conditions like eczema and psoriasis. > > thanks > > mjh > > > > > > In a message dated 2/13/03 2:40:45 PM Eastern Standard Time, > > herbal remedies writes: > > > >> Re: Re: Eczema > >> > >> I have to ask this again because I can't find the answer on the net for > >> some reason: is emu oil make from emus?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 You're welcome Ilana :-) Watch out though - shampoos called Natural, or even Organic, still can have chemicals in them. Don posted a long message about this some days ago - the cosmetics industry is not regulated the same as the food industry. I just bought a "natural" shampoo, and found only one particular ingredient was natural, not the whole shampoo! And I bought it from a reputable organic store!!! So read the ingredients before you buy. But I also bought one for my son Jamie, and that one seems 100% natural and organic. love, Lisa - Ilana Grostern herbal remedies Friday, February 14, 2003 1:17 PM Re: [herbal remedies] Digest Number 1909 Lisa,I didn't think about the shampoo. As soon as I finish the current bottles I'm switching to something more "natural" and chemical free, so it would be amazing if all of a sudden the symptoms disappeared. I'll let you know!Thanks for the suggestion,ILANA xoxoLisa Belcher wrote: Ilana, You'll be surprised as to how fast it will kit back together!! It could be from other chemicals - I've had to change my soap before - there seems to be only one "normal" brand my hands can tolerate and all others would irritate my hands.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 You know there may be a B vitamin deficiency here Ilana. I know you eat a good diet, but even then we often don't get everything we need. Brewers yeast, eggs and leafy greens are good sources (all certified organic).

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Lisa, Yeah, I remember that post and it's firmly in my mind as something to consider when I make my decision. I might just go with something like the Castille soap. I'm not sure. I'm taking a soap making course at my organic co-op next week so hopefully I'll get some insight there! If anyone knows of a good brand that is available in Canada, please let me know!
