excema cure

[roneef]

My daughter had really bad excema from about 4 months to 1 - 1.5 years. It disappeared overnight with this treatment.

We were in utter despair, for ourselves,
(no sleep, anxiety, peoples awful comments)and the poor babys suffering. We tried lots of things, as you do.

Miracle cure worked within a week. Basically you get curry leaves. You can get them from any asian grocery shop. They came in a big plastic packet. Boil a good handful in a big pot. Let it cool.

After bathing your child. Stand them up and from a clean bucket poor this liquid over them. It should be the last thing your child is rinsed in.

Dry them thoroughly and apply usual moisturiser. I used aveeno.

This worked in a week. He had perfect skin. The person who told me had a little boy with the WORST excema . He is a totally different boy, really beautiful skin.

Recently I heard its an ancient ayurvedic cure. All I know is it helped us and several other people.

I really hope this helps others with excema. Would love to know if it works for anyone else.

Exactly littlelamb - A very bad attitude!!

roneef I think you are trying to find racism where there is none

Not me - other people express this view.

Lame jokes about smelling of curry

You don't though

I'm talking of acquantances in
RL

I have an objection to crackpot remedies, that's all. You'll see my name often on eczema threads, I'd've thought. I have an interest in the subject.

I wouldn't care about buying curry leaves - that is a very odd comment. I care about my daughter, not about buying herbs in a shop.

Why do you insist on calling it a crackpot remedy?

In the East it is a well known remedy.

It's sad how people disregard anything vaguely 'foreign'?

Anyway, IT WORKS!!!

I challenge you to try it for a week pointydog....

I've just googled curry leaves and ayurvedic. Can only find stuff that says curry leaves are used for digestive problems and diabetes.

dd2 has been drinking herbal 'medicine' for 5 weeks which includes an Indian plant as well as others grown in this country. See how cosmopolitan I am? Not done any good, though.

why are you saying people reject it because it's foreign?? I could say, guess what, I tired sticking snails up my nose and it was miraculous. Not foreign. Strange, yes

Your ok with your dd ingesting herbal concoctions but wary of pouring it over her body

I think you are a bit self pitiying - one of those - don't tell me because I've tried everything, dontcha know?

Negativity will not help your situation.

Here's a thought -

Maybe I'm saying it because I think it

I've come across this attitude before, sadly.

Well that's funny, cos I just typed "curry leaves eczema" into google and it came up with loads of results. Your google must be searching differently.

I really don't get the snippy attitude towards the OP. She's trying to be helpful FGS. I'm fairly sure she probably doesn't profit from this in any way and has taken the time to type her post when she really didn't need to bother. And, judging by the reaction, probably won't bother in future!

If you don't want to try it, fine. But others might want to. Scroll on past then....

OP, I'm really glad you found something that worked for your DD.

roneef Thank you for your post. My son is at the moment covered in a heat rash. He does everytime the sun comes out. I'm going to work my way though all the tips that are not harsh but could give him relief. If curry leaves work I'll have a go. If it doesn't, no harm done unlike steroids!

ooh, I wonder if this would help psoriasis too?

It's not actually as weird as snails up your nose either.

Please make an effort to read the OP.

It's using herb infused water in the bath.

In place of your usual bath wash

Rineef I'm not here to argue with your method. What I do take offence to is your accusation of racism towards those who don't agree with you.

interesting.

how does it work?

does it work on the same basis as applying the aveeno to damp skin trapping moisture as you would do after a bath and patting dry rather than rubbing?

are the leaves 'spicey' at all and likely to aggrevate open skin?

i am dubious over the claim 'it def works' as so so many times i was told that with dd1.

dairy free didnt work for dd1 either pointy dog. or replacing cows milk products with goats milk.

the only thing that works to get her over the bad cases was strong oral steroids, anti biotics, steroid xcreams, daily baths, wet wrapping and emmoillants.

people have recommened chinese herbal rememdies, but for everyone that recommends, i hear that it didnt work for others.

Thank you Caserole

It may have something to with the curry leaves.

Many people laugh in RL.

I'm just happy I have a beautiful six year old with lovely skin. I honestly never thought it would happen.

''Curry leaves can be used with gratifying results to treat burns, bruises and skin eruptions. They should be applied as a poultice over the affected areas.''

I don't thinkl roneef can tell us how it works. One to google.

i cant find any specific to eczema, just what i copied and pasted below.

I have to admit to being a bit when I saw this post.

Not because I think it definately wouldnt work or because its foriegn or stupid or whatever.

Mostly because I have spent the last 6 years being approached by people in the street, playgroup on the bus etc. They all have a cure for eczema and want to tell me all about it.

I agree, Roneef , you do get desperate and want to try just about anything. But you also get sick of people implying that if you just tried a little harder you could cure an incurable condition.

My DS has severe atopic eczema. Its very bad. Bad enough for people to stare and comment on 'err whats wrong with him!?'

We do all that we can to help him. The trouble is, when you have tried treatment after treatment you are very reluctant to try something that could make your child worse. That goes for convential as well as traditional methods.

I understand Pointydog's frustration. I tend to have a similar reaction to those who tell me they know how to cure my son.

It may not be logical but it does get you that way a bit.

I am glad this worked for you though

the problem is that eczema isn't always an incurable condition. Sometimes children do benefit from diet changes or from aveeno or steroids or wet wrapping - maybe even from curry leaves, I haven't tried it. And sometimes parents haven't heard about these things, especially the non-conventional ones, and benefit from being told.

I can understand the frustration of having tried many things and had none of them work. But the OP was trying to help others and unless there is evidence that curry leaves are actually harmful scepticism could be expressed more politely.
