Guest guest Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 SAT NAM, My lips are chapped all through out the year. They seem to be very sensitive, no matter what I do nothing helps.. I do not use any cosmetics on my lips . I just use may be white petroleum or almond oil to keep them moist but they bleed and crack no matter what.. Does anybody know of anything which can help prevent this?

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 Well, I'll probably get 'yelled' at when I post this, BUT.....chapstick! I keep several tubes around my house and in my purse CONSTANTLY. I use it several times a day, every day. I can't stand for my lips to be even slightly dry, let alone cracked. I know it's not organic and it doesn't come from a health food store - - but I NEED my chapstick!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 certain nutritional deficiencies cause this, are you eating all your carrots? :-) suggestions: • Avoid licking your lips; it dries them out. Occasionally place a little vegetable oil on your lips. • Drink enough water. • Rub your finger alongside of your nose and then on your lips; that puts natural oils back in them. • Finish your meal with a small amount of lecithin (which your brain, nerves, and blood vessels need anyway). When you do this, be sure and leave a small amount of it on your lips. • Vitamin B2 and brewer's yeast both help cracked lips. • Toothpaste dries the lips; instead use a toothbrush and baking soda.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 Hi there Akkama, Burt's Bees lip balm is wonderful -- it's natural, don't know about organic -- and it has therapeutic herbs in it. Big seller here in hot, dry New Mexico! But here's something I've found...the more "stuff" you put on your lips, the more your lips will NOT put out, or for that matter, your face and body skin won't either. Petroleum products are the worst. Euuuuck! Oils, if you look at it in a homeopathic sense, will be more drying. Oil will take away oil. (Like cures like) Soooo...if I need lip stuff, and I do, I get Burt's Bees. Love, Hety I do not use any cosmetics on my lips . I just use may be white petroleum or almond oil to keep them moist but they bleed and crack no matter what.. Does anybody know of anything which can help prevent this?

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 Sat Nam, Make sure you have enough Vit b12. Sublingual is good. Maybe you need this in addition to a B complex daily. Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 Coconut oil is a great moisturizer. You should be able to find at your local health food store or you can also order on line. Sat nam. Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 Yup, it was me! sooo many cris's everywhere! :-) If you go to http://www.google.com and search on lecithin or anything else -you will find a wealth of information. that's how I found my answer to you -I search on "chapped lips" I used to buy lecithin in the health food store, it came in granules and was tasteless -I was putting it in mashed potatoes for my late husband to lower his cholesterol.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 Sat Nam Dear Akkama, The lips and mouth are the windows of Spleen and Pancreas so something is not good with this organs.
