HOMEOPATHY FOR DRY SKIN

Monday, April 16th, 2012

RADIO HEALTH PEARL #469    …brought to you by the Gesundheit! Nutrition Center.

While battling dry skin in Montana sometimes you have to become a true investigative reporter, especially when you feel like pulling your hair out when the regular options don’t seem to work.

You’ve lathered the Vaseline or fatty hand cream on at night while wearing gloves; you’ve drank more water; maybe visited the dermatologist, UPPED the flax- or fish oil, and cringed because of the discomfort you still feel.

What is a possible next option?

In HOMEOPATHIC medicine many interesting remedies are available depending on the specific symptoms one experiences.

For example:

• Homeopathic PETROLEUM is for dry and cracking skin especially during wintertime.

• Homeopathic SULPHUR if the skin feels worse after bathing or washing your hands.

• And homeopathic SILICEA for when the skin swells-up and feels inflamed and itchy.

If you want to jump-start your DRY SKIN condition… then get more specific with these or other Homeopathic remedies available at …the Gesundheit! Nutrition Center, on North 19th Avenue.

DARN DRY SKIN

Monday, April 9th, 2012

RADIO HEALTH PEARL #468 …brought to you by the Gesundheit! Nutrition Center.

Living in Montana brings the challenge of dry skin. This is not only frustrating, but it can be downright painful!

For many people it affects the hands, thereby causing peeling skin, paper-cuts, bleeding and skin getting stuck in blouses and other clothing. Other parts can get affected as well, causing rashes, itching and a variety of allergic-type symptoms.

In general, I suggest people may be too low in their essential fat uptake from fish, flax, borage, evening primrose, butter and coconut oil. And trying TABLESPOONS FULL instead of capsules may bring improvement within about a week.

Another option for dry skin could be an increase in the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, because these contain antioxidants that protect the skin.

Also, you may be deficient in the mineral ZINC, especially in the wintertime. Adequate amounts of ZINC are necessary for the proper functioning of the oil-producing glands of the skin.

If you are battling dry skin issues, try several available options at …the Gesundheit! Nutrition Center, on North 19th Avenue.

During the last several years another fatty acid has made the health-news. It is Omega-7 (or Palmitoleic Acid), found abundantly in the berries of the Sea Buckthorn tree, the most abundant source in the plant kingdom.

This berry not only has oils in the seed but also in the soft pulp. And it contains more than 200 bioactive compounds, including Omega-7, a complete panel of vitamin-E, antioxidants and plant sterols.
