and is on steroids for it which bums me out that nothing natural was tried.

Would lobelia work? If so he's 1 so I would need proper amounts for him.

Thanks so much!

put Vicks salve into pure water that had been boiled, sit it into the sink,

have me put my little head over it, I had to stand on a chair and then she

would make a tent of a big towel, she always helped me with this procedure.

I do not use petroleum products anymore but this worked for me and I had

croup a lot growing up, it turned into asthma as I grew older. I believe

herbs would have prevented this.

 

I have put dried lobelia inflata into water when it comes to a boil,

simmered a minute or so. I've helped several little ones with snotty noses

and ragged breathing, the Lobelia cleared them right up and their moms use

it all the time now and were grateful for the advice. You see steroids are

a catch 22 they destroy bone and do all sorts of harm to the body. Finding

the cause & triggers is the key here. Using herbal remedies when these

problems first start if very important before they get a chance to take hold

and cause more damage to the respiratory system. Prescription drugs &

modern Medico, manage disease they do not cure it.

 

My mom also had an herbal remedy for poison oak and ivy, I have never

had it but have siblings who have, they shared that it healed in overnight.

Wish I knew what she used. My grown daughter gets it if she is in the area

of it, she is that sensitive. But she needs to detox, I'm working on her,

give her great stuff all the time, but she is a busy professional and until

she settles down some she tells me she does what she has to do to keep

going forward, what a world we live in.
