Handling Rashes and Insect Bites Naturally

Aloe Vera and Prickly

Pear Cactus are both wonderful to

grow and have on hand when needed. If

you live in a cold area, they need to be brought in to survive the

winter

weather.

We’ve

all heard

about and hopefully experienced the great wonders of Aloe Vera. It can

be

used internally as a drink or enema, and can be applied externally,

directly on

the skin to handle burns and scrapes.

Did

you know that

the Prickly Pear Cactus is another desert plant that works absolute

wonders in

handling skin conditions of every kind? The flat pad of the plant will

help handle skin rashes, insect and poisonous snake bites. You can

also drink

the juice of this marvelous plant to cool body temperature and lower

fevers. As the sections grow, you can break off a pad with a pair of

pliers (avoid the small barbs), skin it with a knife and use the inside

part as

a poultice or just massage the slimy pulp onto your skin. You can also

plant the pad and grow another Prickly Pear cactus.

I've

handled Fire

Ant bites between my toes in about 3 seconds. I also got rid of a rash

on

my leg in 2 to 3 days. Doc picked up a serious bout of Athlete’s Foot

at

the gym. He applied the Prickly Pear slime to the affected areas and by

the next

day his rash had healed over and was a little itchy. By the third day,

it was

completely gone.

 

This

from Kathy Cooks . . . Naturally, Kathy Hoshijo, hostess

several years back of a popular TV series KATHY'S KITCHEN says: "Just

today I was reading a national newspaper and there was a story in it

about a world-famous doctor, who does organ transplants, using slices

of papaya to heal infections on his patients when antibiotics don't

work! The amazing results were that the wounds would heal within days

of the application of the papaya slices." page 163 Also, "Some people

I know take the papaya skins after they've eaten the fruit and rub

their faces with the peels. They let the sticky substance near the

peel dry on their skin and later rinse it off. They tell me it helps

sunburn and promotes a good complexion for all types of skin. I used

to rub peels on my baby's bottom whenever he got a diaper rash and it

would heal within half a day." page 164

 

Use

these remedies.

 

You'll

love them !!
