Healing.

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

Because i am pretty busy i shall post a bit each day till the bulk of the

treatment is covered. The thesis itself is over 10,000 words and alot of it is

not relevant to the nitty gritty.

I live just south of Seattle, WA and i swear one in four people must have

rosacea here...i have never seen so much rosacea...hmmmm they call us moss

backs...maybe its moss wanting to grow on our faces : )

I personally presented with: 1.) red neck, chin, cheeks, nose, forehead and

eyebrows. 2.) pustules, visible spider veins, skin overgrowth with subcutaneous

fluid buildup/edema and red bumps on the neck, chin, nose and cheeks. 3)

burning and heat of cheeks and chin. 4) painful lips. 5) red burning eyes with

lid swelling and frequent blisters on the lids, and an occasional sty.

My thesis was built upon the belief that rosacea itself is a symptom of an

organism at less than optimum vitality. I still believe that. We drink tap

water with chlorine and flouride, we bath and shower in it too. We take

antibiotics and eat overcooked foods grown on over farmed soil and sprayed with

pesticides and herbicides. We drink milk with hormones and antibiotics and eat

meat with hormones and antibiotics. We are what we eat, digest and

appropriately assimilate. And that is where the beginning of healing

begins...with the digestive tract (stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small

and large intestines).

We scrub our faces with buff puffs, apply acids, moisturizers, make up and more.

We apply antiperspirant and make our bodies hold onto toxins and heat that

perspiring reduces.

Of all my symptoms the eye symptoms distressed the most. I did not have scleral

edema. This is what i did to relieve the eye symptoms. Initially each and

every day, using an eye cup, i washed my eyes with an infusion i made. The

infusion: Take a six ounce glass and drop 7 drops each of glycerin tincture

(not alcohol tincture) of goldenseal and eyebright. Pour boiled water into

glass and allow to cool to room temperature. When cooled pour into eye cup,

bend head and bring eye cup up to eye and blink and roll the eye while in the

solution. Dump the solution and pour some fresh into the eye cup and repeat.

Next repeat this with the second eye. The lids will sting a bit but it feels so

good because the ithching and burning goes away. Pat the eyes dry...do not rub

and scratch. The sclera is frail and rubbing and scratching can injure the

tissue. This must be done everyday initially. Now i only do this maybe every

two to three weeks. For the blisters and sties...ouch! I purchased an aloe

plant. When a blister or sty began i broke off a piece of aloe and put the goey

liquid on the eye lid sporting the intruder. The blister or sty was gone in

two days using the aloe. If i had had swelling of the sclera i would have gone

to the doctor's office because the eyes are just way too fragile and

important...i feel fortunate that my eyes were not more involved. Today my

lashes are growing in nicely and surprisingly they are still long and curly as

before. I can talk about the eyebrows when i post about topicals i use for the

face and neck.

This is what i did for myself to treat ocular symptoms of rosacea. That is it

for tonight...the sand man just sprinkled me...nighty night...keep hoping and

believing and working towards healing.

Love, herbler.
