Skin troubles part 1

Eczema Select alkaline foods. Bowels should be regular. Do not use soap and water for cleansing the skin; instead, use a weak boric acid solution. Using a salt solution of one tsp. to a quart of water is also helpful. Take equal parts of burdock root, yellow dock, yarrow, and marshmallow; using a heaping tsp. of this mixture of granulated herbs to a cup of boiling water, steep, strain, and drink one-half cupful 4-5 times a day. Healing herb salve should be applied freely to relieve itching and heal the skin. (Herbal Salve) Use granulated or powdered herbs. Use one pound of herbs to one and a half pounds of cocoa fat, or any pure vegetable oil, and four ounces of beeswax. It is necessary to use a little more beeswax in the warmer climates, as this is the ingredient that keeps the salve firm. Mix the above together, cover, and place in the hot sun or in an oven with the fire turned low for three or four hours. Strain through a fine

sieve or cloth. When it is cold, it will be firm and ready for use. It can be used, however, before it is cold). Whenever eczema occurs in infants, gentle restraint off the hands must be used to prevent scratching of the lesions, which may result in infection. When an infant has eczema, he should not be vaccinated for smallpox, nor should he associate with other infants or children who have been recently vaccinated. Acne Prepare a poultice using chaparral, dandelion, and yellow dock root, and apply to the areas of skin with acne. (It is best to grind the herbs to a powdered or granulated form. Add water until the mixture is the consistency of a thick paste. If using a granulated form, add a small amount of ground flaxseed or cornmeal and mix until the consistency of thick paste. Spread this paste on a piece of fresh white cotton so that it is a quarter inch thick, and cover the area completely. Place a towel over the poultice to prevent heat

loss. If you choose fresh herbs for the poultice, simmer two ounces of the herb in half a pint of water for approximately two minutes. Do not drain. Pour the entire mixture into a cheesecloth. It is best to cleanse the area first with hydrogen peroxide before applying the poultice. Apply the herb poultice directly to the affected area, making sure that it covers the area completely. A second layer should be added to retain heat. Do not reheat a poultice and reuse. When poultice has cooled, remove and discard. Wash the skin thoroughly. If acne spreads or worsens, discontinue use of poultices). Use red clover, lavender and strawberry leaves as a steam sauna on the face. Lavender kills germs and stimulates new cell growth. Chromium (GTF) used as directed, aids in reducing infections of the skin. Gerovital H-3 face cream (GH-3) used as directed on the label, relieves inflammation. (Used in Europe with good results). Lecithin one capsule before meals, needed

for better absorption of the essential fatty acids. Primrose oil used as directed on the label, supplies the essential gamma-linoleic acids needed for healing. Unsaturated fatty acids one tbsp. cold-pressed sesame or flaxseed oil (linseed oil) or take in capsule form, needed to keep the skin smooth and soft, and to repair damaged cells. Zinc gluconate 30-80 mg daily, aids in healing of tissue and helps to prevent scarring. See part 2 for more recipes Suzi What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.
