Sue, I don't know about organic aloe vera gel, but I do know that

caulophyllum oil with centella works wonders rapidly. Regards, Cresten

archives I'd like to give her some Aloe Vera gel as a couple of

practitioners found this helpful for their pts. Does anyone know where I can

get some organic aloe vera gel without too many additives? I've tried

Proline, Pukka, Rutland and Organic Herbal Trading Co but no luck yet.

Hi Cresten, can you send a bit more info about this? Do you mean centella oil?

And how much caulophyllum oil?

Thank-you to everybody who has responded to my message! Much appreciated.

Fleur - I haven't treated lichen sclerosis but we did see one patient with it

when I was in the training clinic. If I remember correctly, Hananja swore by

topical infused oil of hydrocotyl, applied liberally and regularly. With skin

alteratives as appropriate like mahonia, smilax.

Best wishes, Jay x

>Dear Fleur, I have been treating a woman with LS for about a year: she's

>Avicenna Hydrocotle oil 7ml

>Avicenna Hypericum oil 7ml

>Vitamin E oil 10gtt
