Neih hou or Hello,
I have so much to tell you; I don't know where to start. I will try to be as thorough as possible; and hopefully, I won't forget anything.
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my questions. Before I begin to tell you of the things that I believe are seriously affecting your good health, I would like to commend you for quitting smoking and coffee consumption. Regarding the asthma and the eczema, smoking and coffee consumption are instigating factors in that type of suffering. Nonetheless, there are many instigating factors for asthma and eczema sufferers; and unfortunately many of those instigating triggers (allergen/irritants) are a part of your personal environment. Reading your answers to my questions, I am not surprised regarding your eczema suffering. I would be more surprised if that wasn't the case. Your body is actually doing what it is supposed to do: alerting you to the fact that there are too many toxins affecting and infecting your system. For an analogy, the eczema flareups are like a smoke alarm's beeping signal. The purpose of the annoying beep is to alert people of the smoke that is signaling a brewing fire; so that something can be done at the beginning stage to avoid a fire and to save the lives of the people in the building, or home, from total destruction by the fire. Your eczema flareup is the skin's way of ridding the toxins from the blood stream; and at the same time, signaling, to you, a need to address the toxic environment and to replenish the cells and organs with the nutrition needed to fight off the toxins in a less overwhelmed state. It's your skin's way of crying out for a need for balance within the immune system; due to the fact that it is currently being overwhelmed by the abundance of toxins in your system. Balance can, indeed, be restored and healing can be achieved.
Before I go into the discussion regarding your answers, I want to address your cleansing/detox and skin care needs. Because your skin is so raw, many of the external products may cause irritation at this point. Therefore, I want to address your need for itch relief through an internal means; such as herbal medicinal tea consumption. The product line that I suggest for you is Flora Medicinal Teas. I have checked and found that there is a distributor of Flora products in Hong Kong and will be emailing you the details of the location and their email address for your reference. The products that I want you to look into are the Flor Essence (cellular regenerator & detoxifier) detoxifying and cleansing system and several of the medicinal teas. The particular teas that I want to bring to your attention are the Asthma Tea, the Hautex (skin cleansing) Tea, the Diulaxa (blood cleansing) tea, and the Nerval Tonic Tea (stress relieving tea for a good night sleep). Should you decide to try these teas, take them without adding Sugar or condensed milk.
When the toxins are eliminated through the skin, don't panic with symptom suppressing drugs. Your skin is trying to rid the body of the toxins. What you need to do is work with the skin in the healing process. To help you get through the irritating, itchy process, the Nerval Tonic Tea may help to give you a good night sleep. Also, Flora has two skin creams that you may want to consider to help aid in the process as well. They are the Calendula Cream with Flax Oil and the Aloe and Comfrey cream. Write down the names of these products so that you can inquire of them with the Hong Kong distributor. Flora doesn't sell the products to individual consumers over the internet. They sell to the distributors in the various countries, where consumers can then visit the stores for purchasing of the items. I'm excited about this find and hope that you will seriously investigate it.
In your original message to me, you inquired of the propolis; however, I never responded to the question. Propolis is gathered by bees from the leaf buds and barks of trees (poplars, birch, and conifers). Bees mix it with wax for repair and construction of the hives and also use it for insulation and protection. It protects them from bacteria, viral infection, and dangerous toxins. It contains high amounts of the B complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin A. It also contains calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, silica, and potassium. It's considered to be a bioflavanoid; which means that it has antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Propolis does contain a small amount of pollen (which may or may not be a problem for some eczema/asthma sufferers). The biggest caution with propolis is the high lead content; therefore, you want to make sure that the manufacturers of the particular brand of your choice is reputable. These are the determining factors of a good propolis products vs. a bad propolis product:
good (organic product) - should be brown to dark brown in color, sticky, and having a distinct scent or odor
bad product (high lead content) - white to yellow in color (chemically altered)
You can check the naturetech.com website to find out more about the propolis. For your information, I wasn't aware of this product and we didn't use it in the treatment of my nieces eczema. This doesn't mean that it isn't a good product. I'm simply stating a fact of our experience.
I'm not going to have time to finish this message at this moment; and therefore, will need to come back with a second part to this message as well. I will be posting the message here; (as opposed to emailing you the second part), because I think that people can learn from this process and actually see how the wisdom that I speak about, so often, is applied in healing the skin of eczema.
goodbye for now,
aunty
