Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 , you said that two of the ingredients in the SARNA lotion are camphor and menthol. I have been using a brilliant gel recently, not for itching but for my painful joints (they are what started me off on the whole EN/Sarcoid journey last year) It is Glucosamine and Emu Oil gel and it too contains camphor and menthol. I had really bad pains in my wrists a few weeks back and my husband suggested that I try it as it had arrived as a free sample with some glucosamine tablets that he'd ordered. After a few days the pains certianly started to ease and it does clear the nasal passages as a bonus!! It felt really cooling as it went on - you don't need much as it goes a long way; and I should imagine that it would take away itching if only due to the coolness of it. I got it through a company here in the UK called ZipVit (www.zipvit.com) I don't know if they ship outside of the UK though but I'm sure there must be other companies selling the same thing. Hope this helps. Have a very Happy New Year, as pain/lump-free as possible! ps I also have 2 small children (4yrs and 2 yrs) and find it impossible to get much rest at any time, let alone when I feel really under the weather! We also go down the route of watching a dvd/video while mummy has half a kip on the sofa but it's not a real rest is it !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
