Skin care weblog

Hi all ~

This is my first post to this group. I want to share my experience with a
product that I
have begun using to treat my eczema. A sample of Spring Wind ointment was given
to me
by my acupuncturist, and when it ran out, I ordered the 2 oz. container from
their website
(springwind.com). The formula is based on traditional Chinese herbal medicine.

For the record, I have no financial interest in the company, but just want to
get this
information out to others who suffer with eczema. The ointment is red in color
& has a
mild scent. It’s rather greasy, but the ingredients are all-natural and it does

NOT contain
petrolatum - it can be hard to find skin care products without that. A little
goes a long
way, and I like to apply some at nighttime, then don gloves to keep it from
getting all over
my bedding.

Another Chinese herbal product I’ve been using is called Skin Balance, and that
too is
helping. I believe my eczema is aggravated by coffee and wheat flour, and it is
a challenge
to eliminate those from my diet, although I usually manage to stay away from
them (not
counting the occasional "binge").

I appreciate this group, and intend to try some of the other ideas, such as
using a
hairdryer to control itching.

And I don’t know if I read it here or elsewhere, but Apple Cider Vinegar as a
hair rinse has
improved my scaly, itchy dandruff 100% !!!

Blessings to you all ~
