Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Does anybody have a good recipe for a balm/salve for eczema. I know that I want it to contain calendula infused oil, borage seed oil, jojoba and shea butter. I just don't know what measurements to use and what essential oils to use. It will be for my 2 year old daughter. Thanks, Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Mara, My friend Maggie makes a herbal salve, just olive oil, beeswax, and weeds like chickweed, plantain and others, that has worked great for many kids with eczema when nothing else worked. Very reasonable too. It might be worth getting some while you experiment making your own. I don't have a recipe for this salve, and if I did it would not be mine to share. www.flyinghandsfarm.addr.com Ien in the Kootenays ******************************* I can stop thinking about the next snack! ask me, or send a blank email to nomoresnacks ******************************* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I developed a lotion for dealing with both getting my face blown off in high winds while snowboarding and for my daughter who has eczema on her arms (milk allergy) ... I can't disclose the recipe as it isn't entirely mine but you can get some of the lotion from me at www.snowboardmommy.com (Wind Whipped Lotion) If you know the ingredients you want to put in a lotion, but don't know how to make one i'd recommend Donna Maria's " Aromatherapy Lotions " book. You can also hunt around: http://www.makeyourowncosmetics.com, I think there should be enough recipes there to help you figure out how to make a balm/salve.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 www.alternasense.com is where I bought it. They usually have a pre-buy every few months.
