Making Healing Creams
October 12th 2008 23:42
Healing creams are very easy to make from scratch right in your kitchen. A typical base for all lotions and creams are glycerin and lanolin. These retain moisture in the skin and the glycerin is a humectant which pulls moisture into the skin. Soap is traditionally made with this ingredient but soap and cosmetic companies would rather keep it out of the soap so you have to buy lots of lotions and extra glycerin based products.
But, what is added to these moisture rich products is the actual healing power. Aloe is a prime ingredient if there is any burning, itching, redness, etc.
Vitamin E oil is very inexpensive- I buy E oil capsules and drain them into my lotions.
These are very useful! Just look at all of the various things healing lotions can cure without prescription drugs:
1. infected skin
2. rashes, including diaper rash
3. razor burn
4. allergic reactions in the skin
Try making some, it’s cheap and a lot more effective without chemicals and preservatives.

I have a question my wife has eczema and nothing she uses helps, and it getting worse, she went to the dermatologist he gave creams but they do little to stop the itching and burning.
Is there anything you know of can help her better than steroids?

I would say to try a mixture of straight (all natural) aloe and vitamin e oil. Rub aloe in first and as soon as it is dry (or pretty much dry) rub in the e oil. See if that works if it shows promising signs they we're on the right track. Also try using dye and perfume free detergents, fabric softners, etc. to make sure it is not spiked by an allergic reaction. If this works then try adding ground burdock and/or calendula to a mixture of aloe and e oil.
