Ever since my crazy eczema breakout in the summer when I was basically crippled for two weeks, I have been putting Avacado Oil on my skin after showering as a friend told me about it as a rememdy. What a revelation!
This weekend I was away and forgot to take my oil with me, thinking my trusted aqueous cream would see me through the trip. Luckily, my skin did not breakout, although I did notice how sterile and medical it felt after the luscious oily-ness of avacado oil which seems to both calm the skin and make it silky smooth.
In contrast, aqueous cream seemed like thick paint that my skin barely wanted to suck up. I will continue to use it in the shower as a substitute for soap, but its oil all the way for me now. So if you are suffering from eczema, get yourself a bottle of avacado oil and lather it on and enjoy touching your smooth skin.
On another point, I *think* that the homeopathic remedy I am taking – Sulphur – is having an effect. I have enjoyed homeopathy so far, if only for its quasi-counselling style, its engagement with emotions, spirituality and dreams. I have had two sessions and I can feel a shift in my bodily culture. It seems as if my body gets to that stage where it threatens to break out but instead of jumping off the cliff it retreats back. I feel safer in here at the moment, which I think is a major sign that something is happening.
I have also been having calmer nights sleep the past few nights. The past months – and in particular after taking the remedy – I exploded into night itch frenzy. It was interesting though, because for the first time I became aware of how the memories in my muscles are programmed to itch. Its like the way my body curls in on itself, the way it thinks it should be. I would be very interested to learn of muscular therapy which re-programmes memories/ reactions/ petit-traumas in the body, as I think this would be a valuable form of therapy to undergo after I have finished with homeopathy. I would like to make my muscles forget that scratching it what they ‘want’ to do.
