Is there any place on the web which shares some more info about the holistic
cures for psoriasis and eczema for free without me having to go out and buy
something?

thanks,

I woke up at 3 a.m. unable to sleep because of intense itching - seems I
have four conditions, eczema (on left hand), hives (chin and neck),
psoriasis (right forearm) and something deep in one of my ears that itches.
I’ve had the eczema and itching in the ear for about six months, the
psoriasis about one month, and the hives about two weeks. I went to a
homeopath on Friday and she gave me ASAP, a silver solution, which I am to
mix with a grease-based cream, we chose to use shortening as that’s what my
MD recommends - it’s a challenge mixing something like Eucerin with the
watery silver solution, and I put it on about an hour ago and haven’t felt
much relief. So then I tried my Young Living formula for skin, called
"Animal Scents" - that may work to settle down the itch - I’ve got to get
some sleep and am quite frustrated. Also, the heater is drying my skin (it’s
snowing outside, I have the temperature set at 68 in the house) and I have

cracks in my heels that I sometimes use super glue on but now I’m so greased
up I wouldn’t be able to do that!

The formula below that you make yourself, does that calm itchy skin? I would
assume so, since one of the "features" of eczema is the itch.

This is my first post, just joined the group. I usually attribute my skin
issues to emotional stress but sometimes dealing with the skin increases the
emotional stress so it becomes a vicious cycle! My husband died in May, I’ve
been joking about having "mourning sickness" with this skin, and I also got
gout at the same time! It was pretty depressing, actually. The gout seems to
be passing, fortunately, for which I am grateful.

I am just in the last few weeks getting into the sadness/grieving phase that
I believe most people expect to come earlier in the process. But I found out
there is no particular schema in a time line about when the crying — the
sadness, the temporary hopelessness, the loss, the anger - will occur for an
individual whose loved one has gone to the other side, leaving us here to
deal with the problems of the living.

I look forward to hearing from some of you on how you deal with what I’m
facing now on the skin problems. Thanks so much!

Hi, Nisa:
I can’t swim in chlorinated water, but we converted our pool to salt water a
couple of years ago and my skin doesn’t have any problems with that. Or the
ocean.

I also make my own skin cream, using mainly jojoba oil, virgin olive oil,
cocoa butter, beeswax and distilled water. I sometimes infuse the olive oil
with healing herbs (e.g. comfrey, marshmallow root). Same concept as making
mayonnaise, and very easy.

Trevlyn again.. I forgot to leave you the link to the salts and
proecza cream.. www.dermatechrx.com/eczema I hope this will help
others as it has helped me.

My children have the same problem I would suggest that you use
coconut oil, my children take 3 teaspoons a day which help to contain
the eczema.
It really works well! It holds the skin in place, keep it from
flaring up.
Which is all good in my books?

I don’t recommend Virgin oil, it has to been organic

Hope this help because I have had so much problems over the years you
will notice the different in a couple of days..

I have just found this group and thought i would join and post a quick
introduction of myself!

I’m a 23 year old female and i have chronic eczema. I had slight
eczema when i was younger but got it from head to toe when i was 15.
It took the doctors ages to finally refer me to a dermatologist and i
was constantly given antibiotic after antibiotic and steroid creams. I
really sympathise with you all as i went through a lot of pain and

discomfort and the itching drives you mad.

I’ve been hospitalised twice in the last 2 years as the eczema was
really bad and i was bandaged from head to foot coated in steroid
creams and lotions given antibiotics and rehydrated. I really
sympathise with those of you that have had trouble with your derms. My
derm was very arrogant at first and it took me 3 years for him to
listen and this was only as i was hospitalised.

Basically after steroid treatments failed i was put on protopic for a
while and am now on cyclosporin (have been for a year) as all other
treatments seemed to have failed. I have been on the highest dose and
must admit i am grateful that i have been a lot better for the first
few months. When they came to reduce it i was hospitalised with a
flair up from head to toe that got severly infected. The thing is i’m
still on cyclosporin and am very grateful things are not as bad as
they have been but i’ve been catching a lot of viruses/infections the
last few months which are causing flair ups especially on my legs,
arms, tummy, face and scalp. I’m being given steroids, antihistamines
and antibiotic creams but nothing seems to be working! The thing is
i’ve had a word with my derm asking if the cyclosporin is lowering my
immune system but he won’t answer saying he doesn’t know? Just
wondered if anyone else has had any experience with cyclosporin and
had any advice?
