Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Dear group, I'm wondering if anyone has any good advice for me regarding a woman, pregnant with her first child. She has had eczema since childhood, manifesting as a blood deficient/stasis pattern from her history of accompanying symptoms. The eczema tends to lie on the ST channel, and particularly affects her nipples. She would like to breastfeed, and is concerned about having flare-ups. I am also concerned because of the large blood loss during delivery. She will be taking herbs post-partum. Any suggestions for a good topical application? I was considering the Blue Poppy chapped nipple ointment or Psoriaquell, but would love any words of wisdom. Thanks in advance, Melanie Discover Use to plan a weekend, have fun online and more.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 The Blue Poppy ointment sounds good... also look for Yin Care, a TCM topical that seems to work very well for a wide range of dermatological issues. I know a distributor for Los Angeles but I don't know where you are located. doug , " Melanie Morris Katin, L.Ac.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Hi Melanie, A friend of mine has for several years dealt with her 10-yr old daughter's eczema. In dealing with her skin and hair issues she has done so much experimentation that she has been developing her own products and is launching a marketing campaign. I forwarded your email to her in case she wanted to contribute what has worked for her. Here is her response: You can tell her to make a bath mix of 1/2 oz chamomile powder, 1/4 oz lavender powder, 1/4 oz brown rice flour, and 1/4 to 3/8 tsp citric acid. Make a decoction with 1 qt boiling water and let it sit for anywhere from half an hour to overnight (preferred). Strain into the bath through a fine mesh aquarium net (really). Follow up with a good moisturizer... If her eczema is bad, she should take the bath nightly until it clears up a bit, then she could take it every other night. Or I could just send her a bath mix/KISS creme kit for free, I need someone else to test it besides Yaya. It's worked on her for about 6 months now. The lavender and chamomile are extremely safe. Nina B So, Melanie, if you would like to contact Nina directly to avail yourself of her offer, please respond to me at snakeoil.works, and I will put you in touch with her. Hope this helps, Ann Dear group, I'm wondering if anyone has any good advice for me regarding a woman, pregnant with her first child.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Hi there - You might want to consider that she has a candida rash on her nipples. Sometimes candida becomes a problem in pregnant women. wrote: The Blue Poppy ointment sounds good... also look for Yin Care, a TCM topical that seems to work very well for a wide range of dermatological issues.
