I don't use washcloths though, I use Cotton balls, so no temptation to re-use, so no worries about cross infecting either! Cheers!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 Well, I see you've got the subject covered *LOL* *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Butch Owen [butchbsi] Wednesday, April 16, 2003 3:53 AM Rose Hydrosol for Pink Eye Hi Helen, > Clear Day > I know I read a remedy for pink eye . . . anyone know what can be used > to get rid of it? > Thanks. -Helen I can tell you what I have used on MANY people .. and NEVER EVER had a failure .. but I make no recommendations. Pink eye (conjunctivitis) can be cured in 24-48 hours by pouring Rose Hydrosol DIRECTLY into the eye .. not diluted. It will not burn. But if the Rose Hydrosol had not been tested for contamination .. I wouldn't use it. Mine are tested every 90 days .. but I can't guarantee a buyer didn't contaminate theirs after purchase. Pink Eye is a bacterial infection, Bacterial infections can lead to blepharitis, an inflamation at the base of the eyelashes. This will cause pustules filled with bacteria-fighting white blood cells. I've seen a lot of it in small children in lesser developed countries .. fairly common in Asia and in Africa below the Sahara. Treatment for this back then was to remove the extra oil around the eye by washing the area with a baby shampoo. I didn't have Rose Hydrosol with me. Its amazing the things we used to cure with Bacitracian Ointment .. but these were folks who hadn't even had an aspirin before. Pinkeye can run from secretions that tend to keep the eyes closed to redness and itching .. both are the body's natural response and protection against bacterial or viral infection. Pinkeye causes pink eyes cause its an infection that attacks the transparent membrane covering the eyeball. Discharges can also be caused by colds, allergies, dried eyes due to wind, etc. (some folks use artificial tears to treat this) or just an eyelash scratch on that membrane. Bottom line .. a doctor would likely prescribe antibiotic eyedrops and warn you to not reinfect one eye as it would likely begin to heal quicker than the other eye. Not always the same degree of healing. But I have given Rose Hydrosol to folks with Pink Eye and seen results in quick time. The last was a FedEx delivery man who showed up in Friendsville while I was there a few months back .. had to pour it in my own eyes to convince him it was safe .. he did it .. we gave him 8 oz to take with him and pour in 3 X a day .. in two days it was gone. Don't use the same washcloth every time and ladies need to toss the eye makeup they've been using as its likely contaminated. On eyedrops, the docs will tell you to avoid those with a long shelf life because preservatives in them can build up to toxic concentrations and damage the lining of the eye. I read a lot into that .. maybe those who make their own cosmetics should too. If its really pink eye (conjunctivitis) be aware that it is one of the most contagious conditions .. it can spread to the entire family in a day. Entire classrooms of kids become infected with this from time to time. BUT .. in my non-medical but not so humble opinion, it is one of the easiest conditions to treat .. leastways would be and has been for me and mine but I'm not legally authorized to give folks medical advice so I don't. But were it me or mine, I'd pour Rosa damascena hydrosol directly into the eye .. 3-4 times a day and expect to feel immediate relief when I applied it and healing begin within 12 hours or so. At the end of 24 hours .. 48 at the max, I would expect it to be history. And again, I wouldn't use anybody's Rose Hydrosol for this unless they could show me a recent lab test indicating lack of microbial, fungal and mold contamination. Because we don't use preservatives I have mine tested every 90 days or so .. only costs $30 which is chump change when it comes to folks health ... and we just got the latest result back on 17 February. Ours is UNcontaminated now .. but a buyer can contaminate it in 24 hours through mishandling .. same for cosmetics.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 That is what I read, Butch!! Thanks. I received a sample from another company when I ordered some soap supplies but do not want to take a chance on it. One of my grandsons has it. PLUS thanks for all of the info on conjunctivitis. Another post for my " Butch " folder!!
