WWW has different formulas for White Flower Oil (Bai Hua You). Which one do you mean? ? Bai Hua You (White Flower Analgesic Oil), a combination of camphor, eucalyptus and lavender produces this therapeutic massage oil used for soothing sore muscles, strains, and contusions. ? Bai Hua You (White Flower Embrocation): Ingredients: camphor 6%, eucalyptus oil 18%, lavender oil 6%, wintergreen oil 40%, menthol crystal or menthol 15%, peppermint oil 15%. An excelent cooling oil. Use for colds, flu, headache, muscular pain, minor abdominal pain, minor wounds, insect bites, and travel sickness. The latter formula sounds OK for the itch of chickenpox but Google has little on that. Chinese herbs used to Erupt/Vent Rashes include: Shegdihuang- Rehmannia Rx (fresh), Zicao-Lithospermum, Bohe-Mentha/Boheyou- Peppermint Oil, Shengma-Cimicifuga, Niubangzi-Arctium.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Phil, i had great results, a yr ago for the first time, with essential oil of peppermint for topical pain, for post herpetic neuralgia. per a good neurologist, it was a severe case. she was traveling a lot right then, so i had to come up with something topical that would travel easily. we tried something tcm first, maybe wfo, but it hurt! someone here suggested peppermint oil, and it worked wonders. also, it did not have an overwhelming odor for those around her. lynn [] wrote: Hi Monica, > Has anyone tried White Flower Oil topically for chickenpox?

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 andrea, i've found the peppermint oil works fine full strength on the skin when the irritation is more pronounced. as the lesions heal, dilute the essential oil with a salve that won't stain clothing. i even have mixed it with a greaseless, easily absorbed hand lotion. i put the mix in a travel container for the patient. one patient didn't want to dilute it. yes, it burned a little, but nothing compared to her original pain! lynn [drandreahehlmann] wrote: lynn, do you use the oil undiluted on the skin?
