Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Sue, I don't know about organic aloe vera gel, but I do know that caulophyllum oil with centella works wonders rapidly. Regards, Cresten lichen sclerosis > I'm treating a female pt with lichen sclerosis. There has been some reduction in the inflammation and tendency for the skin to split, during the month that she's been taking herbal medicine. Having looked through the 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. > Regards > Sue Salmon > > > --- > Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.655 / Virus Database: 420 - Release Date: 08/04/2004 > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hi Cresten, can you send a bit more info about this? Do you mean centella oil? And how much caulophyllum oil?

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 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 Message: 5 Date: Thu, 19 May 2005 15:17:38 +0000 From: " fleur curtis " Subject: lichen sclerosis Does any one have any experience of treating lichen sclerosis. No case history as yet but any advice would be appreciated! Fleur --------------------------------- How much free photo storage do you get? Store your holiday snaps for FREE with Yahoo! Photos.
