Help for eczema, I had it for years and I finally got rid of it by using Cortaid 12 hour relief hydrocortizone cream and Head and shoulders dry scalp care shampoo and conditioner. I guess it's not considered natural but it works and I have had no flare ups!

I have had eczema off and on for years. it is a skin condition in response to allergens. Just discovered that taking a bath with 1/4 cup bleach in the tub, helps it heal quicker, hurt less, and prevents secondary infections

I used Apple cider vinegar on my shingles rash..while using the very expensive RX the dr gave me. The acv dabbed onto the rash several times a day helped the pain and itching and shrunk the areas...to nothing. I had a relapse of them on same area a couple of years later and didn't even go to Dr. just applied the acv as before and it was very short lived...pain and itch didn't even rear its ugly head as before either.

I am someone who supports using home remedies for acne instead of very chemically (and at the same time unnaturally) harsh acne curing products such as Accutane and other retinoids. Sure, these chemical products work faster, however, their risk of side effects aren't to be trifled with either!

One example is:

Lemon Juice (with rosewater) <- A very famous method is to apply lemon juice with the same amount of rosewater over the pimple or scar to eliminate them. It is natural all right, and ok to use if you don’t overdo it or else your skin will be very irritated from all the acidity and your acne WILL worsen.

CAN ANYBODY TELL WHY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS MY FACE BREAKS OUT REALLY BAD ?

Apple Cider Vinegar is also very good for indigetion. Take 1 tablespoon with about 1/4 cup of water. It works. Also, garle this same solution for a sore throat, and swallow the last gargle.

Jerry is right, I tried it and got results. Natural cure is best.

I have a very itchy scailng scalp with some places that are extreeme. Will Apple Cider Vinager off the store shelf or should i try the Raw Apple Cider Vinager. Thanks EJ

I believe that there IS a "natural cure" for every disease known to man, but that's a strange concept to most of the media indoctrinated people in this culture.

Well the Murad system for acne is not the best solution for fighting acne,

Warmly,

where do i buy alkaline water to drink

I am trying the ACV tonic to help reduce severe menopausal symptoms. Since my hysterecotomy in 4/06, I have tried prescription hormones, bio-identical hormones, herbs, vitatmins, and various soy products, but have had no relief. My total cholesterol is high, so I take Zocor. I had my doctor prescribe Ambien so I could just sleep through my night sweats. I also take an antibiotic (Minocin) 2x daily for adult acne. I take Ativan nightly to help with anxiety. For chronic back pain, I take Ultram 2x a day.What meds can I safely take as the ACV works in my system? Is there hope that the ACV tonic will eliminate the need for some, if not all, of my currect medications?

As an acid reflux remedy I eat 1/2 an apple and drink a full glass of milk everytime by acid reflux flares up...

I read about this recently at http://www.stoprefluxnow.com - the doctor on the site talks about naturally curing acid reflux... I found his article very informative and helpful, plus the reflux remedy works great

Just thought I'd share that, hope it helps someone else too :)

I am taking tazorac(retin-a) right now from my derm and it is making my face peel like crazy,but some of the dead skin still hangs there and does not want to come off. Exfoliating BURNS! and then keeps on burning for the rest of the day.I've cried. Please tell me your concoction for apple cider viniger for dry flakes.Did you mix it with water or something? Can anyone out there help me PLEASE!

I have got dry, frizzy and rebellious hair.Will this cinder vinegar work for me. please suggest somr thing good.

I have used an amino acid supplement for thinning hair. It has thickened my hair so much that I now have to thin it out.

i am 34 and have had dark circles as long as i can remember. They have got worse probably due to skin thinning with age. I have spent copius amounts of money on creams and gels, none of which worked at all. 4 weeks ago, i decided to take the natural approach. I gently dab 1 part organic cider vinager, 3 parts water around the dark circles. I then apply a paste made up of fengrueek leaves, ground almond and milk. I leave it on for as long as possible, (usually 20-30 mins) every day. I have also been drinking apple cider vinager and water every day. It has only been a month and i am astonished at the results. People always used to comment on how tired i look, but now they are telling me how well i look. It is absolutely brilliant. I don't know which part of this concoction is doing the trick, but i'm not changing it, because it's working wonders. I still apply my eye cream after i clean the paste off to keep the area moisturised. If you look like a panda, try it!

Use regular dandruff shampoos?Pff they are crap, they are very drying too. Apple cider vinegar is much kinder to my scalp and hair.

I have a lot of extreme hotflashes daily. I read that a pain center in the Chicago area gives anestetic shots in a gland in the neck. Are these safe? I have tried hormones & over the counter remedies, does anyone know what might help me??? I read in your column about apple cider vinegar. What proportions is used? I have not heard of this!

My husband was on the purple pill for years until we read about ACV. 2T before a meal & no more reflux. I also keep a spray bottle of ACV in the shower for dry hair and softer skin plus cleaner shower.

Is there a formula for tingling, numbness and stiffness in the fingers?

THANKS!

I took part in a study 2 yrs. ago about thinning hair. We were told to eat 2 slices or more of beets each day. There were 6 people women and men in this study and it worked for the ones that participated each day. After 6 mos. or so we were told we could eat beets every other day and still maintain. It did make my hair not as thin and not as much comes out in my comb each time I wash it. The beets can be just canned or pickled hot or cold. Just eat it once a day for at least 6 mos. The lady who asked me to do this is my dr. wife and my friend. She and her daughter did it and it worked for them. She took pictures of before and after 1 month, 2nd month and etc. I could not believe the difference. Of course I love beets and it was no problem for me. Some times I ate them as a snack a few right out of the jar. I make my own pickled beets with cider vinegar (half cup) and 12 packets of Splenda. or use 1/2 to 1/3 cup sugar instead and use reserved juice from the beets(canned) to cover. Put in pint jar or other container with tight lid and shake and turn over everytime you open the fridge for 24 hrs. You can adjust this up or down in sweetness and tartness. Also make up 2 or 3 cans of beets and use a quart jaror container. Good luck! It works!

Drink it with other drinks, or water, put it on skin, burns, boils etc. Gargle with it. Clean with it.
IT DOES WORK FOR JUST ABOUT ANYTHING! Including sunburns & burns.
Itching. GET SOME! TRY IT & YOU WILL SEE! Acne, weight loss. Everything listed here it has worked for. BEST INVESTMENT YOU WILL MAKE. Cleans tartar on teeth. NATURES MIRACLE JUICE. I use it for everything now.

I haven't seen this one posted, maybe it will help someone. Ever since I was a kid, whenever one of us would be throwing up due to a virus, etc., my parents would grab a bottle of cider vinegar, pour the vinegar over one of their hands, and stick their hand under our face as we threw up in the toilet, telling us to take deep breaths of the vinegar. Sounds weird, but the pungent smell of the cider vinegar stops the retching and helps to settle the stomach. This is an old Greek remedy (like the Windex in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", ha ha). Try it, I do this now with my own kids and it really works.

I have been using Braggs Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar for about 8 months with a group of co-workers and we all have seen great results. Lower blood pressure, reduced water retention, increased energy, joint pain relief, soft skin, and so many others. And yes it does work on the dandruff and shine.. I use it as a rinse about 1once a month.. and I also use it for bug bites as well. If you don't believe me check it out online. Search for benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar. Also the Braggs Apple Cider Book has tons of natural remedies.

Call me old fashioned but a good shake of vinegar and olive oil on a salad does it for me.

cider vinager is a miracle for burns,when i was 15 i worked in a fish and chips place and accidently stuck my hand in the fat fryer,the greek owners grabbed me and poured white vinigar over my hand and i had no after affects,no peeling,scars etc.
have used apple cider for sunburn,wonderful,skin rashes, gargled for sore throat, a cup or two in the bath gets rid of dry skin and itch, and leaves a clean tub. friend of mine developed severe scorisis
so severe she considered suicide,told her to bathe with acv ,it relieved the itch and took the scales off, she kissed me and thanked me now she could deal with it that i had saved her life.

I am wanting to know if the diluted which hazel and water really work for acne. I have a 15 year old with acne and needs help Or should I use diluted apple cider vinegar and water, which is better, please advise.

Thank you P Pedroza

To Keith about his son's acne on his face and chest. Try the Murad system. IT REALLY WORKS! It's not that expensive either. I had pretty bad acne as a teenager and then adult onset acne for years and years. I tried everything, ProActiv, acne pads, every kind of acne treatment out there, but Murad worked wonders. Now, it's not a "natural" method, but all the ingredients they use are natural botanicals. My skin is less oily and crystal clear now, thanks to Murad.

Hi there...I would like to ask about marks and pimples scars on the face.. i have them years now . what can i do in order to heel them? i was putting vitamin E but it caused pimlpes and i stopped.

Thanks...

My grandson had warts that had spread all over his hand.Every night he would wash his hands thoughrly and then dab apple cider vinegar on his hand.The warts started shrinking and eventually disappeared never to return.ACV also stops any kind of itch.Just dab it on.

I am 64 yrs old and enduring good health as in my family profile they all have health problems...at this age I am learning to eat the good things of life and keep my stomach half empty at all times...this is why I love this website and will and happy with all the information feed back you give...
However, I notice I now have a skin problem...areas will itch and when I scratch it I end up with dark pigmant spots which is sometimes large and it stays on and never go away...right now I have 2...spots...1 on my foot under the knee area on the bone part with not much skin there...it itches so much when I scratch the slin get piffy with little bumps...I scrub it with a brush whilst in the shower and put on vasaline cream with cocobutter...and it soothes the area but now for long...these days I put lots of petroleum jelly and the itch is no more...please tell me what to do..

I have what is called exime(allergy) in my right hand. It started when my hand was in gloves, latex or non-latex and handled hot bottles in lab. The skin of the right hand got damaged, red, dries, opened and itchy. It got well temporarily when I stopped doing those things. Now, when my right hand gets wet, it makes blisters, red, very itchy and oozes out when I scratch it. Then the skin forms scales. My GP gave me Elocon 0,1% creme which helps. But, is there any natural remedy for this allergy?. Thanks. Pery.

Years ago I read a short article in a health magazine that featured leg cramps. The article piqued my interest since I had recently started having leg cramps while in bed at night. The article promoted the use of two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a cup of whatever (I use plain tea ) as a cramp preventative. I drink a cup about three times per week and it really works!

Try drinking green tea for thinning hair.

to help with canker sores get licorice tea in bags, moisten and apply as needed for pain, will clear in about 2-4 days

1). All the ladies with hair loss should be tested for thyroid problems, especially low thyroid. It will take a few months to get your dosage of thyroid medication correct with several tests but once you have the correct amount of the hormone hair loss will go back to normal. If you take your thyroid medication with 2 glasses of water at least one hour before eating breakfast you can eat pretty much what you want. Calcium supplements need to be at least 6 hours later. Until you get the right amount of hormone in your system saturated fat should be limited. I have just spent the last year going thru this. 2). Use Vicks vapour rub for toenail fungus. It works but takes a while as do the prescription drugs but without any side effects. 3). It is better to use a good dandruff shampoo and kill the stuff causing the itching quickly and then use the vinegar treatment regularly. 4). Vinegar certainly helps prevent problems with burns of all kinds (maybe not 3rd degree) and also tea or tomatoes in all forms. I have been using it for 55 years after blistering my arm one summer on a trip. A cook told me about the tomatoes and it works. Once I spilled boiling hot tea all over me. Where it air dried without being dried with a towel there were no after effects but redness and burning where I dried it with a towel.

When we were children (in the 1950's) anytime we sunburned our parents put us in a tepid bath laced with a cup or two of apple cider vinegar. If there wasn't any vinegar they used tea. These old "folk" remedies worked magically. Today, doctors are too eager to prescribe pharmaceuticals. What a pity!

I've seen several requests for something to help stop hair from falling but haven't found anyone writing of a successful solution. Does anyone have one? I am 71 and my hair is thinning rather dramatically lately.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re Sylvia Thomas' question regarding dark circles and age spots. Age spots can be lasered but will return if a sun block isn't used continuously. A noted plastic surgeon told me nothing could be done for dark circles. He said I would be throwing my money away also if I bought products that claimed to erase or diminish dark circles.

About 60 years ago, when I was a small child, I was badly burned by hot coals. They spilled out all over my legs. Before rushing me to the doctor, my mother poured vinegar all over my legs. My legs eventually healed with no scarring except for one on my ankle, she missed. I had on my little white high top shoes and a small piece of the smoldering coal was down in my shoe. The ankle was treated until it healed but I still have this huge scar only there where the vinegar was not used.

i would like to know if you can tell me how to get rid of or decrease bags and dark circles under eyes, and dark age spots in face.

For the person who needs help with toe fungus: Use vicks vapor rub many nights or days in a row. Be consistent. Don't skip. It works.

You know what works best for sunburn???Sunscreen and a hat before you leave the house. It will also help you save a wrinkle and a freckle,too.

I agree with Mary! I have used cider vinegar several times for sunburn and of course it stung. But I had no burning, itching or peeling after using the solution. (p.s. I didn't even dilute it - never knew that)!
