excema cure

134 replies

roneef · 24/05/2009 22:46

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.

tatt I wont disagree with anything you have said. Just trying to put across a different angle.

I tend not to be rude to people who suggest cures. I generally nod and thank them for their interest

But IS eczema curable or just manageable?

It can spontaniously resolve itself but can it actually be cured? Its an autoimmune disorder isnt it?

Its hard to tell TBH so much conflicting information flying about.

Come on guys give the OP a break, she was just trying to share something that worked for her, which is I think the point of this allergy forum, there was no need for the sniping.

It might not work for everyone, but there's surely no harm in trying.

When I opened this thread I was expecting some extortionate miracle cream being touted due to the number of posts.

Thank you for sharing Roneef.

chegirl · 26/05/2009 22:46

DOnt think I was sniping as it goes.

Sorry for late reply misdee. I boiled a handful of curry leaves in a big pot on the hob.

I The washed my dd as per usual. I tended to shower her off while she stood up in the bath. I then poured the obviously cooled(still warm) water all over her. It was from a medium sized clean bucket. It was the final rinse iyswim.

Took her out, dried and applied the usual aveeno which suited but didn;t cure.

She had a lot of red, sore patches. Very raw but it didn't sting or leave residue or visible film on the skin.

I really hope it works for you(fingers crossed)

Pointydog - Please go away and pick an argument elsewhere. Why wouldn't I be able to tell Misdee about the curry leaves if I posted with the cure in the first place?

I understand you've been here longer than me but I really believe in what I'm saying.

I'm really shocked you think this is a 'crackpot remedy' but you would let your precious dd ingest herbs.

Strange.

roneef Sweetheart don't keep feeding the dog, she'll only come back for more.
My brother-in-law has suffered from eczema for years and so has my nephew, now thinking about it most of my family in various forms. Different things work for different folks. & sometimes the remedy one year doesn't work the next! But we must keep trying because it's a painful skin condition that has made my lovely brother-in-law a recluse when he has an outbreak he is now 45 yrs and I've know him since he was 14 yrs. (wish there was a big kiss emotion)

chegirl interesting question and I don't know the answer. The nhs direct website - see below - talks about eczema as a group of skin conditions and I guess maybe that is the problem. Atopic eczema often does respond to diet changes but not all eczema is atopic. Probably they are actually different conditions simply grouped by doctors under one "inflammation " heading. A bit like the way people label intolerances are allergy.

209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:wlG7hhOmJSMJ:www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Eczema-(atopic)+ eczema&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk

Please don't be mean to pointydog either - suggesting she didn't care about her child when she's tried many things is plain rude. And it is extremely hard to watch your child suffer and be helpless.

roneef · 27/05/2009 11:30

Tatt-

I think you will find that pointydog was the rude/mean one.

Please try reading the thread - it always helps.

Your post contains nothing of any value or tells us anything new.

Yes, I am pissed off now.

Kayteee · 27/05/2009 11:44

yep...pointydog started the rudity. Don't be pissed of roneef....you may have really helped someone here

roneef · 27/05/2009 13:03

Hope so

chegirl · 27/05/2009 19:40

I dont think pointydogs was that rude.

She may well have responed in a narky way but hardly the rudest post I have seen on MNs and she is entitled to her opinion.

As a mother of a child with severe eczema Roneef I am sure you have had loads and loads of people approach you with miracle cures in the past.

It DOES get wearing.

And although this cure worked for your child (which is fantastic) it is highly unlikely to work for mine. So you cannot really claim that 'it works' entirely can you?

But saying all that, I think that you have the right to share your treaatment with others and it doesnt appear to be a harmful one.

I sincerely hope it has good results for other mumsnetters too.

roneef · 27/05/2009 19:55

Actually chegirl i'm not running a scale out of 10 on how rude pointy was.

She is entitled to her opinion.

Im confused why Pointy is an issue.

Otherwise, you have a point.

OP posts:
Kayteee · 27/05/2009 19:56

Where did anyone suggest it was the "rudest post on MN"?

I thought pointydogs comment early on in the thread "I have tried crazy things but none quite so ridiculous as this" was uncalled for though.

I have a ds who has suffered with asthma for 10 years. Loads of people have offered weird and wonderful "cures", some we've tried some not. I don't recall ever feeling the need to be "narky" towards anyone who is just trying to offer help. But it takes all sorts, eh?

Nicti · 27/05/2009 22:02

I can thoroughly recommend a natural product based on aloe vera and bee propolis and it comes with a 60 day money back guarantee- you can't get a better guarantee than that than that and simple to apply too!

littlelamb · 27/05/2009 22:05

You have to pay to advertise on MN nicti. And this is probably not the best thread to try and peddle your wares

tatt · 28/05/2009 13:10

roneef - I think your post clearly demostrates who is being rude.

anyone had any joy with the curry leaf rinse?

Kayteee · 02/06/2009 21:17

hahahhaah...what so you can have a go at them for saying it worked?

pointydog · 02/06/2009 21:23
Grin
Kayteee · 02/06/2009 21:28

Seriously though,

I am 3 days into it and, in all honesty, not much change BUT doesn't seem to be itching as much.

I will give it the week though...watch this space

pointydog · 02/06/2009 21:32

okeh

js1000 · 04/06/2009 18:51

Rooneef- Thank you for your advice just wondering, is it really Curry leaves you used or Neem Leaves ?
I was reading in aurvedic site about same method but with Neem leaves, I know they both look quite similar though but have different properties.
Has anyone else tried curry leaves yet?
