Looking for suggestion for a salve for eczema patches

[Guest guest]

Hey Cat,

 

I sympathise with you, I've had eczema all my life and the only few

things that work.

Cortisone's the best for stopping the itching & aloe vera is brilliant

for healing the open/scratched wounds. Also 'Fucibet'

(http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100001109.html) is something I

have been prescribed which is great for the itch when you cannot

sleep, but to be used in small doses as it can (like Sinylar cream)

thin your skin.

 

Eczema in Greek means Fire, or to Boil Over, being a sufferer, you

will understand the reason behind this.

 

Also, this website is useful (even though possibly frustrating in some

information): http://www.wholisticresearch.com/info/artshow.php3?artid=166

Hi Cat,

 

I healed my eczema by healing my adrenal glands. In my case, the itchy skin

rash was being caused by excess cortisol being secreted by my overactive

adrenal glands.

 

I learned meditation techniques and used regular massage to help my body

into the parasympathectic nervous system state and used homeopathic and

herbal remedies to provide support to my adrenal glands.

 

I've now been rash-free for 3 years.

 

Good luck!

What kind of homeopothic medicine have you used for your adrenal glands I

think I might have the same problem. Stress also has a big factor on adrenal

glands that is what I have heard!

Hi Serap and Catherine,

 

Seraph, the specific homeopathic remedy that I used is called Natra-Bio

Adrenal Support. I used the sublingual tablets but they have a liquid

version too.

 

Catherine, I used steroid creams and even got steroid injections from the

dermatologist for years. The injections would make the eczema go away for

about 3 weeks, but it always came back. The steroid creams worked, but then

I started to have abreactions to them. My skin on the often treated areas

was thin and crape-y and I started to get these big pimple-like bumps around

my mouth.

 

I then started to consider a more natural approach. I started by figuring

out how to make my own unscented goats milk soap, which was nice and

moisturizing, but didn't affect the eczema much. I then made an bath tea

and a salve to treat the itchiness, which worked beautifully to help keep me

from scratching (does yours grow when you scratch it? Mine did. Yuck.)

 

To make the bath tea, I would take 2 cups oatmeal, 2 cups baking soda, 2

cups sea salt, 1 cup calendula flowers and 1 cup chamomile flowers and 1 cup

oregon grape root and grind it all up into powder in the food processor. I

then sealed it up in large heat-sealable tea bags. To use it I would fill

the tub with a couple inches of really hot water and drop in a bath tea bag

and let it steep for about 10 minutes then stir it up and fill the tub with

more lukewarm water and then get in and soak. Ahhhhh...

 

The salve I made by combining a bottle of olive oil with 1 cup calendula

flowers, 1 cup chamomile flowers, and 1 cup oregon grape root and slowly

heating them together until quite warm (but not hot enough to fry the herbs)

and then letting it sit for a few days, stirring when I thought about it.

After that, I strained the herbal material from the oil and melted beeswax

into it until it eventually hardened to a salve consistency. I don't

remember the exact ratio.

 

These techniques would keep the eczema down to pink, rough patches of skin,

with no oozing or excessive itchyness but it didn't make it go away.

 

Having this skin condition is actually what led me into alternative healing

in the first place and now I heal other people professionally!

 

But eczema is a classic symptom of an imbalance of fire element energy in

the body. The fire element relates to creativity, sexuality, power, and

movement of energy. Eczema (and other skin conditions, especially ones that

feel " hot " ) are caused by a buildup of fire energy in the body. I was

living in a situation where it was unsafe for me to express myself

creatively or sexually and even once I removed myself from that situation, I

still didn't feel safe expressing that fire energy. It would boil over in

the form of eczema.

 

I healed the eczema by working to release the reasons for feeling unsafe,

working with water element crystals to cool the excess fire (lepidolite is

an awesome stone for this), and treating my adrenal glands with herbal and

homepathic support.

 

3 years without even a pink bump! Phew... What a relief.

 

I hope this makes sense!

 

In Light,

 

Amy Milder
