Re: eczema

[Guest guest]

and Everyone,

Thank you for your responses. I did put breastmilk on my eyes last night and it

seemed to help a lot. I will try again today. It seems to vary day to day how

intense it is. The breastmilk instantly took the itch away and it didn't come

back until the milk was completely dry. I am going to keep putting it on all

day. Thanks again.

Re: eczema

I may be crazy, but I try putting expressed breastmilk on things first

before I go to the store or the clinic. Since it has

anti-microbial/infective properties, it would help keep it from getting

worse. Since it has anti-inflammatory properties, it should help with

swelling. Since it has lipids, it would be soothing, and should help

dissolve crusty mucus build-up. Since it's sterile, it should be safe,

even it gets in your eyes. Since it's readily available, it should be easy

to use, and very inexpensive (free!). Many other countries use

breastmilk as " medicine " by the way.

Try expressing a little bit, like a half-teaspoon into a medicine cup. Use

your fingers, or moisten a cotton swab and apply it to you skin. Moist

wound healing is supposed to be best anyways.

There was a research project earlier this year about expressed breastmilk

applied to the vagina of women with chlamydia that absolutely killed the

bacteria... since then, I've tried it on lots of our family " owies " with

incredible results!! It even did better than bacitracin in my home

experiment!

After I weaned my daughter I had small drops of milk in my breasts for almost

two years. I thought it would never leave.

Wendi

Re: eczema

I've been thinking of doing the same thing, but I've heard lots of moms say

that they could express a few drops for many months, and years, after

they've weaned. And I really hate pumping! lol

What do you save your small amounts in? I've heard that glass or hard

white plastic containers are best for long term storage of milk, plus, even

in a deep freezer, it would only be good for about 6 months... Maybe you

could convince *someone* else in your family to help you keep up a tiny bit

of milk after you wean?! lol

,

Thanks it is bothering me. I am going to try everything natural before I go to

a dermatologist.

Re: eczema

From: Mparker90@...

Oh Wendi,

How I feel for you. That can be bothersome! I tried to get rid of some eczema

once and it was difficult. I resorted to going to a dermatologist...the

traditional way I guess. He gave me some cream and it went away quickly. I

have a friend who has a fairly ongoing case of eczema. I will ask her if she

has any tricks.

The miraculous breastmilk.

Don't forget about this " home remedy " when your babies are older... it also

works wonders on " imaginary " owies... But for the older ones, you might

want to express your milk out of sight... it loses its charm when the kids

know where it comes from somehow! lol

Jenn,

It wasn't a problem at all. It only took a minute. It is very professional

looking. Good Job! I always have time to support a sister's hard work. Sounds

like your hubby is a lot of fun.
