Dermatitis is charaterised by flaky,
scaling, thickened skin, often itchy and red.Dermatitis is often caused by allergies in which case it’s called
‘allergic or contact dermatitis’.Suspect
cosmetics, washing powders, perfumes, rubber, latex, metals from clothes or
jewellery or plants. It can also be water or sunlight.Stress can make the problem worse.
‘Atopic
dermatitis’ often appears in babies or toddlers, particularly in the creases
of the body, e.g. behind the knees, in the elbows, neck and face.Suspect allergies, particularly to cow’s milk and cow’s milk
products.Oranges are also often a problem.
We
have had excellent success (though not in every instance) with using the
patient’s own urine on the problem area.This has sometimes cleared up the most horrible eczema/dermatitis.If the skin is very raw and open, mix the urine with vegetable glycerine
oil from the chemist.Dab it on and
leave it to dry on the body.See recommended books below for a book on Urine Therapy.This treatment has been used for several thousand years and is
recommended in many scriptures, e.g. the Bible, Upanishads, etc.
Poultices
combining chaparral, dandelion, goldenseal, and yellow dock root can also be
helpful – for external use.
