My daughter-in-law can't use Tide, but uses All Free Clear. And she

says her worst problem is her bedding. When she visits, I must switch

to her brand or she gets into problems.

My middle son had Eczema and we use a very mild soap to bath him with called

cetephil. In wal-mart it is by the make-up. It is milder than dove. We went

to the allergist yesterday she gave us a Rx steroid cream and had the pharmacist

mix it with aquaphor. I will send email when I get home with the name. I use

the arm and hammer detergent and have had no problems with it. The Dr said that

long luke warm baths were good for it. We also use a home remedy that I heard

of we wash him with head and shoulders once or twice a week. It works for dry

scalps why not dry skin? Hope it helps.

everyone...I have a question. My son is 10 with CVID. He has developed a bad

rash patch on his leg and on both elbows. Ped said it was eczema, use cortisone

cream sparingly to get the itch under control, then vasaline or aquaphor. Well,

I can't get the itch under control. He is jumping out of his skin. He is

scratching it into. I gave him benadryl last night, but during the day he has

school and is on Ritalin for ADHD, so I don't want to give it to him then. I

also had him take an Aveno bath to try to soothe the itch...he hated it. I

don't want him get infected. Any suggestions? At first I thought it was just

the cold air and forced hot air heat we have because we are all dry and itchy,

but then I realized I started using Tide detergent about 2 months ago. I know a

change in detergent can cause it, but I was never a strict user of any one

brand...I usually bought what was on sale, so I would

switch between 3 or 4 of them. But I have been using Tide exclusivley for the

last 2 months. Anyone have any experience with this? If I stop using the Tide,

I don't even know what to switch back to. Does anyone know if Tide is

particularly irritating? Also, how long would it take to have a reaction? He

has had this patch for several weeks, progressively getting worse. (Probably

started within a couple of weeks of switching the detergent...) Also, could

this have anything to do with his CVID or is it just a coinsidence? I have

eczema and so has my daughter over the years, so I assume it is " in the family " .

Any itch an/or detergent suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a

bunch!

My daughter is 5 and my son is 8 and both take Iodoral. They get 6.25 mgs

Monday through Friday. I just crush it and mix it with apple sauce.

Honestly I would bet that the eczema is a gut problem. She needs to get her

on a good probiotic. She can also try eliminating things like gluten and

dairy if the probiotic doesn't work. There is a good kids version from

Garden of Life. Gluten and diary are key in eczema conditions - especially

dairy issues.

My son has eczema. When we switched to the McDougall program, which is

a " vegan " diet - no animal products, but eating beans, vegetables, and

fruit - his skin cleared up dramatically. He still has a little patch

of red itchy stuff now and then, but nothing like he had before.

I don't have ezcema; but, I do have issues with severe dry skin due to an

over-zapped thyroid. The kefir does help me when my skin gets icky.

I haven't tried this in particular with kefir; but, I make home made milk

baths and these are always really good and soothing for the skin (I add oatmeal

to some of them and epsom salt to others depending on what my body needs). Does

anybody know if a kefir milk bath would be more beneficial to the skin? For a

milk bath I add about 1/4 to 1 cup of my powdered milk mixture to my bath water.

I would think that if you wanted to do this with kefir you would need about 3-4

cups of kefir added to your bath.

Theories in the relationship between allergy/behaviour/immunity ie, the gut

and the brain, support this idea. Healing the gut (loading it with good

bacteria - kefir etc), removing difficult to digest proteins (namely gluten

and casein - in dairy products that do not support good gut flora),helping

the general detoxification of the body and supporting the imune system will

help allergies and behavioural issue clear up, as they are expressions of a

gut that is not functioning well. So I would imagine that kefir would help

with ezcema. In other circles, there is a clear order to the way this is

done, usually with children who have behavioural issues. The order is to

first remove all gluten and dairy (as well as all additives, colour, flavour

etc, and also to remove all corn and soy products) and to introduce kefir in

young coconut juice (see body ecology diet). Then after a good few months of

introducing the good gut bacteria, the system is slowly re-introduced to

dairy through kefir dairy products, yogurts etc. There is a whole lot of

detoxing that also takes place along with replenishing the system with slow

cooked bone broths etc...but this is specific to kids who have been damaged

by immunization or other environmental toxins...and its a whole other

discussion...

but I'm sure it will help with your eczema

yellow root (golden seal) is really, really good for sensitive skin types.

I make the soap, tincture, and a salve...it's the absolute best. I get the

root here at our local farmer's market. You can do some research on it. It

soothes the skin for sure. I don't know where you could get the yellow root

but it's worth checking into.

Hello,

I need to find something that is gentle and will sooth skin irritations caused

by eczema. I have a friend with a young child that would like to see if there is

anything else that could help. I recommended a Castile but she wants more

lather. Any suggestions?

[Guest guest]

Wow didn't know that about golden seal. Thanks Robin.

Perchance can you make a toner with this and put it in a spray bottle?

I have a client with eczema issue. I was wondering if this would help her?

I was thinking maybe she could make a tea with the golden seal and then once is

cools some, apply it with cotton balls after she cleanses.

What do you think?

I also read lavender is great for eczema as well.

Thanks

bottles and changing from the BASIC pump for my bottes.  I am looking for reds,

burgundy's and browns.  Gold lids and also lids with gold rings.  Thank you.

Hi !

The following recipe was in my files so I thought I'd pass it along. I

haven't had occasion to try it personally so I can't vouch for it, but it would

be worth a try. Hope it helps your friend's little one!

Hi, Zoe! After a reference to virgin coconut oil last week I checked my jar. It

does not say " virgin " so I assume it is not.

Can you please tell me where you get your virgin coconut oil?

I buy mine by the gallon off ebay, but its available in smaller

quantities at most any HFS

even some regular groceries carry it now and I think Walmarts does

too. Its pricey but a little dab'll do ya so it lasts a very long

time even if you cook with it.

Its anti-fungal properties are phenomenal but what it does inside

our bodies is pretty phenomenal too. Its very soothing to the skin

and safe to use anywhere even in the eyes.

Wow! I just checked ebay and the Agateguard which is the brand I use

has more than doubled in price !!! No way I would pay that much.

Check around Im sure you will find something and don't be fooled

by Extra Virgin- there is no such thing in Coconut Oil- thats just

marketing hype so they can charge more. CO is either Virgin

(VCO) or its Not. Extra virgin applies to Olive Oil but not the

coconut.

Cathe,

I buy my virgin coconut oil from Tropical Traditions

(http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/virgin_coconut_oil.htm). In fact I order it

in 1 gallon containers for all sorts of applications mainly for cooking as it is

about the only oil which is safe for cooking beside palm oil! They come in

various sizes.

I also wanted to ask if anyone can help me with my skin condition! I have very

deadly rashes around my private areas almost all over the place including

rectal/vaginal areas and ran out of ideas. Lately it is become so painful and

sensitive that does not let me sleep at all over the night / and during the

day it is hard for me to sit! It may be tied to stress too but I really do not

know what should I do / it is really nasty!

Any ideas?!

Tara

Have you tried your coconut oil? You can also use a diluted KT vinegar -

Sit in it, rub it on, pour it over, however it works for you, but I

would then rub the VCO into your skin afterwards.

I tried coconut oil, it helps a bit but is not effective enough to eliminate the

issue! I am no longer using it as I suspect that it may be of a warm nature and

not good for a burning area. I also stopped eating any food which is of warm

nature i.e. nuts, honey, dates..etc.. and try to stick to things which cools me

down, i.e. water melon, veggies/greens, etc..

As far as Kombucha I have to tell you that I can not even think about rubbing

something as strong / stinging as kombucha to a bruised area! I have even

stopped drinking any sort of fermented food as I may have Candida infection and

currently am doing candida treatment. as the yeast in fermented food may

aggravate candida! right! just to be on the safe side anyways and that's of

course temporarily!

The yeasts in Kombucha will kill the Candida and replace it with a

It is actually cooling to the skin, be sure to dilute it first.

Ordinary vinegar is one of the best treatments for sunburn, and

likewise Kombucha is great for all manner of skin conditions

never gonna live me alone. I wished that I could feel peace again.

> I tried coconut oil, it helps a bit but is not effective enough to eliminate

the issue! I am no longer using it as I suspect that it may be of a warm nature

and not good for a burning area. I also stopped eating any food which is of warm

nature i.e. nuts, honey, dates..etc.. and try to stick to things which cools me

down, i.e. water melon, veggies/greens, etc..

something as strong / stinging as kombucha to a bruised area! I have even

stopped drinking any sort of fermented food as I may have Candida infection and

currently am doing candida treatment. as the yeast in fermented food may

aggravate candida! right! just to be on the safe side anyways and that's of

course temporarily!

Tars I assume your dr Has told you to eliminate sugar and all simple carbs from

your diet. If not please do. Do you eat plain yogurt? I think you should

do those things and ads kombucha in small portions asap. If that does help. You

probably need steroids to get things under control.

regular cold process, the lye would kill off any benefits, I am sure. But maybe

KT could be used to dilute the paste of liquid soap? Normally I would be

concerned about the living microorganisms aspect, something you would generally

try to avoid in toiletries, but this may work. Mmmmm LOL.

eczema seems to be totally in control. I have a few tricks up my sleeve but I

have found that what works best is applying basic KT as a toner and following up

with a dead sea brine based cream. The KT seems to eat away the dead cell

buildup without harming the skin underneath, and even calms the redness. It

works better than my helichrysum.
