Re: coconut oil for itchy bottom

[Guest guest]

hi marion

so glad you are getting relief. whew! the soap may be more harmful to

your tender parts than beneficial, depending on what kind you are

using. most soaps are quite drying and irritating, in my case, even

most natural soaps from the health store are too much for me.

we had a discussion a while back about soap and debby mentioned tea

tree oil liquid castille soap by dessert essence. you can find it at

health food stores, some drug stores and trader joe's nationwide

(trader joes has the best price i've seen). i have also used it since

my first round with candida coming up on three years now. i love it,

and the tea tree oil, although a very mild dose, does help stave off

the yeast topically.

i only use a bit on my face, underarms and tender areas below, as

needed. the rest of my body i just let alone, aside from the water

from the bath or shower, i don't soap it at all, unless i've actually

gotten dirty somehow.

hope you continue good results ~ suz

==>Yippee for you n. Coconut oil is amazing!! I suggest not

washing your bottom with harsh soap. Find a nice coconut oil soap

that doesn't contain perfumes, etc.

Hugs, Bee

Thank you Suz for that information. I live in the Top End of the

Northern Territory of Australia and we don't get all the great

health products available to most people. In Darwin we have one

health shop for a population of around 90,000 can you believe that.

I will shop around though because, alas, WE HAVE THE INTERNET.

I can't believe the great support offered from this group - its

great!

Thank you
