Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Hi, My daughter, 6, has had these red bumps for a few years. I've tried eliminating several foods, changed soaps, etc. We've added supplements, such as fish oil and tried colloidal silver. We are running a blood panel to check her allergens. The bumps come and go. She just got a prescription for hydrocortisone cream, which I would prefer not to use. Any simple alternative suggestions to treat the skin? And suggestions as to what part of her body may need cleansing, etc? Thanks, Suma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hi Suma! My 5 year old daughter has skin issues as well. You are correct in not wanting to use the steroid cream; this causes more harm than good b pushing the rash deeper into the body damaging other organs and the vital force. I have been using a few Ayurvedic herbs mixed with a little honey for Lola. Triphala which is a gentle cleansing herb as well as manjista for cooling and cleansing the blood, liver and digestive system. I also make an organic herbal salve with neem leaf, goldenseal, marshamllow root, lavener and st john's wort. This is great for healing, nourishing, relieving itch, and preventng infection from scratching. Email me if want more info. I have a small online herbal business (organic). www.lostrivernaturals.com I began making products to use for myself and family out of a frustration with the choices out there!

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hi Suma, I thought I responded to your question, but don't see it. My 5 year old has similar problems with rashes. I have been using Triphala and Manjista, 2 Ayurvedic herbs, very safe and great for cleansing and cooling the digestive system. (Banyan Botanicals is a great org. herb co.) The liver may need some extra attention, maybe with some dandelion or burdock root decoctions. You can mix this tea with something more appealing to her like with juice or her favorite drink. Also, I make a salve with Neem leaf (a WONDERFUL herb for healing skin) along with marshmallow root for inflammation, lavender for skin health, st. John's wort for itching and pain, and goldenseal root for preventing infection. You can see the other ingredients on my webste www.lostrivernaturals.com I use all organic herbs in every product and no chemicals or any other undesirable or toxic ingrewdients. Warmly, connie , " sumawx3 " <sumakw wrote: > > Hi, > My daughter, 6, has had these red bumps for a few years.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 A couple that I have tried for rashes and have had some success with is Comfrey which can be found in a product called burts bees. Also tea tree oil found in any bath and body shop or health food store. The last one is the hardest to get but the natives in Alaska love it that is Devils club cream from back bay botanicals. These all work for skin related conditions and range in help from bruising to rashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Do you know the ingredients in the Devils Club Cream? If it has camphor, those using homeopathy should stay away, as it cancels the remedies.
