Let us know what you've used to cure a skin issue! --------------------------------------------------------------- Chronic Skin Infections Cured By Chewing Echinacea Root [Editor\'s Choice]Posted by Kgd (Saint Louis, Mo) on 02/12/2013 [5 out of 5 stars] I had skin problems that got gradually worse over a 20 year period during my 20's, 30's & 40's. It manifested in several different ways... 1. acute skin infections mainly on upper legs and butt that would quickly swell up larger than a pimple but smaller than a boil... Topical tea tree oil would dry these out quickly. Otherwise the infections would remain and get larger eventually erupting like a giant pimple 2. a dense cluster of seemingly benign red spots on lower legs and ankles that didn't change very much and itched very little. 3. more recently... extreme sudden itching on the forearms and back of neck with no visible rash that could be relieved only by directly rubbing with freshly cut garlic I was looking for remedies in a James Duke herbal remedy book and had the insight that this might be a systemic yeast infection manifesting through the skin.

Even took gangrene out of one of my fingers once.

You would soak a piece of bread with water, at bedtime, wrap it with bread wrapper to hold moisture in, and wrap with Ace (elastic) Bandage. When you awoke in the morning the venom, splinter, glass, rocks, infection and or puss lay on the surface of the bread. Acts like a sponge drying out, creating suction & removing obstruction. Other than the 3 hour bath (wrinkly) skin, laughing aloud, it works miracles.

I have had many rescue cats and not many bites at all. The ones treated at the hospital took weeks and were unpleasant. But here is THE remedy. Would you believe the next morning you can hardly discern the bite, all looks good and normal, no pain? The remedy is good quality turmeric. Stick your affected part into the powder and press it on right away. The bleeding will stop, the pain disappears. I always have turmeric in at least two places in the house. Any bleeding will be stopped. Antibiotics suppress the immune system so govern yourself with common sense. The next morning I could hardly see the tooth mark. By the way, when a cat bites, something is wrong with the animal and you should try to find out what you can do to help. Turmeric is a gift from the gods! Om Replied by Lisa (California) on 02/12/2015 [5 out of 5 stars] YES! After calling several walk-in clinics after my BF got bit by a feral cat we feed, I went to Earth Clinic and searched for cat bites. We tried the turmeric powder suggestion (after applying diluted grape seed oil extract first). Worked like a charm. One week later you can't even tell my BF was bitten and it never got close to being infected!

Our family has used this for many years. An elderly woman we knew years ago, fell down the stairs which resulted in an ugly infection in her hand. She was diabetic and the doctors could not heal her. My mom made a pan of strong chamomile tea and the woman soaked her hand in it for 15 minutes. Immediately you could see a difference. She continued doing this for a few days and was completely healed. It is best to make the tea fresh each time.

My 12 yr old son caught his big toe under a door and part of his nail ripped off. He was in a lot of pain, and is somewhat of a nervous nellie-patient, so I only had time to wash it with warm soapy water and then lather it with manuka honey and turmeric. While this worked great for a week or two, there was a minor infection underneath the nail and a scab, that he would not let be touched. Castor Oil packs to the rescue! I was able to wrap his toe in flannel and then some plastic wrap, with a hot water bottle on top for 1hr two nights in a row. This was able to turn the skin pink and healthy immediately, and then the scab and torn nail flaked off on their own the next day. The packs were able to heal from the inside. I never would have even heard of them without this site. [Source]( [Share Your Feedback!]( [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Website]( Copyright © 2021 Earth Clinic, LLC, All rights reserved.
