Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 This matter was discussed between June 20 and 24 in 2003 on CHA, so you can search the archives there. I often think of the internal anti-itch pills, like the tri-snake, crocodile and armadillo that often help with the itch. And if there is damp ooziness, then Lian chao bai du pien from Chinese herb stores can be effective. If you can relieve the itch you can then leave it alone, which helps it to resolve. ann On Jun 2, 2009, at 8:17 PM, turiyahill wrote: > > > I am requesting your advice for making a poison oak wash.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 In the line 8, chapter 18 of Jin Gui Yau Lue,it said For wet spreading sores, Huáng Lián Fìn (Coptis Powder) governs. Just apply a thin layer upon the local. If it is really reddish, a thicker layer and apply 3 to 4 times. It can also be taken internally. The formula originally addresses to eczema but can be applied to other skin conditons. SUNG, Yuk-ming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
