Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 My 10yr old daughter has had this recurring rash for about 21days now. It comes and goes on all different parts of her body. Kind of like hives, at times very itchy. Other than itchiness and redness, on one occasion she became short of breath which lasted a few hours. I would like to practice KY with her because I think she will be more willing if we do it together. She has never practiced KY before. Can someone suggest a set? ~thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 She has been evaluated by health care professionals. They say it is probably nothing serious and are not concerned at this time. They want to her ride it out, wait and see. It was only on one ocassion she had shortness of breath. I certainly want to nip this thing before it escalates into something further. I'm unable to think of anything new introduced to her, foods, detergents, animals, etc. I was thinking of doing Serabandanda Kriya with her, from Transitions. She is 10yrs old, is this okay for her to do? She has never done KY before? Or, are there any other suggestions. ~thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 I don't have a set to suggest but I would suggest you get her evaluated by a healthcare professional. If she has breathing diffiiculites as well as a rash then she's allergic to something,and you don't want it to escalate into a serious reaction.

Known irritants include, harsh chemicals, face soaps and creams, new sheets and pillow cases, new clothes (natural fibers are better than synthetic), allergens and dust; ultraviolet rays; and bacteria, fungi, or viruses. They can also occur from a buildup of toxins in the body but that seems unlikely in a 10 year old. A Dr./biologist would be able to determine that, though. As far as food goes, my chiropractor/Kinesiologist says all dairy products (milk, eggs, cheese) as well as chicken are likely culprits if a rash is caused from food allergies. Omit the above foods for a period of time and see if the rash goes away. If it does, start adding the food back one at a time to find the likely culprit. I am not a doctor but I've read or heard of the following to treat rashes: I've heard that barley water can help alleviate skin inflammations (rashes). To make it, boil 3 1/2 oz. of barley in 1 qt. of water for 15 min. Strain the liquid and allow to cool. Soak cotton balls in the barley water and carefully dab onto the affected areas. Chamomile tea compress is also good to soothe inflames skin. Also 10-15 minutes of sun exposure helps heal many skin ailments. A well- rounded children vitamin helps. Just some suggestion, hope they help! Thoughtfully, Nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 Just one last thought on the allergy front - one can develop allergies to anything at any time, even if one was not previously affected. ______________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 Have you tried homeopathic apis when the hives come up ? It's very good for that.
