Hi Lena,I have ended up with a dry skin condition on my face and eyes that is
red and erythematous and painful and itchy. I was using coconut oil and then
calendula oil along with the coconut oil because it is very healing also.
Unfortunately I think the coconut oil made the dryness a little worse...
something I learned in soapmaking classes. It is great for a lot of things but
I need to be careful of the drying. Even the two creams don't do the job
totally until I add some rose on jojoba and a product I make called calm balm.
I like the idea of baking soda and coconut oil for a tooth paste. I've been
using Vicco but the last 2 tubes weren't as good as the earlier ones so I will
give the coconut oil and baking soda a try. Do you mix them together ahead of
time and just scoop some out or do you mix it each time you need it?
I'm dealing with this dehydration issue and it is touching so many parts of my
life and I can find very little about water metabolism in print or on the
net.PT

I'm not sure what you've been using the hydocortizone cream for, but recently
I've rediscovered the wonders plain baking soda and VCO.
I'd been detoxing something which was giving my underarms a strong odor even
soon after a shower, and deodorants weren't helping. Then I tried BS and VCO
and the problem instantly resolved. I'd already been brushing my teeth with VCO
and BS which was working well.
Now, I'm using a version (softened with some argan oil) for psoriasis plaques
and it seems to be helping. Helps itching, too. There are a couple itchy
patches that were expanding that are now fading away. I, too, don't want to use
petroleum products or even mineral oil, but virgin coconut oil seems to be a
helpful carrier and I'm going to experiment with other issues.
Be well,Léna

Thanks, Lena. I watch my sugar intake so I don't use honey so much but I've
been using bee pollen for some time. Unfortunately a few months ago I stopped
because I took a hiatus from the protein shake that I used to put it in. I'm
thinking that perhaps that is why I'm having such a problem right now.On top of
everything the 1% hydrocortisone cream has alcohol in it and stings like crazy
and the only cream I know of that is clear of anything like that has a
petroleum jelly base. :-(

Hi PT,
Nothing sure-fire, but I've found very local honey to be helpful; even when
we've been on the road, in places of new pollens, I track down local honey and
it has helped.(yet another reason to fight for the welfare of the bees.)
Be well,Léna
