Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hi Everyone, A friend has come up with a horrible iodine allergy, and is currently swollen, itching and bumpy. She found this out after a surgery on Wednesday. Poor thing! She's in pain and distress, AND now she can't eat hardly any of her favorite foods (like fish, shellfish, or pickles!) any more. Can someone recommend something to help her with her skin misery that won't exacerbate her iodine allergy? Thanks! Karen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karen M.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Something that stops this sort of itch stone dead is Australian Sandalwood. I developed a sensitivity to Cassia oil which was less than pleasant; the Sandalwood stopped the itch and pain within a few minutes. I took the Cassia oil out of the blend very rapidly. None of my clients had a problem, only me. Regards Merinda Don't burn your bridges until you have built a pontoon Get the name you always wanted with the new y7mail email address.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Please see the cropwatch report on their site www.cropwatch.org or on my own site 'new' page for the reasons not to use Australian sandalwood oil. Using cassia oil in any blend is asking for trouble. You should have got some decent safety data before making blends for others.
