Stylish and Medicinal: A Winning Combination!

So, check out this nasty batch of eczema! Poor baby! Hosea had this on his chest for 2 months straight. I finally looked at some hazelwood necklaces from Inspired by Finn. According to the website:

Hazelwood is an ancient remedy first used by aboriginal people -- It has the medicinal property of neutralizing the body's acidity.

It relieves or prevents ailments such as ulcers, acid reflux, heartburn, skin problems (psoriasis, eczema, acne), arthritis, constipation, migraines, sensitive & bleeding gums, helps reduce dental cavities and more. These necklaces are a great remedy for heartburn and nausea during pregnancy!

I figured, at best, it might help him. At worst, it's fashionable. So we gave it a try. I'll let the before and after shots speak for themselves. The "after" picture was taken a little less than 24 hours after he began wearing the necklace.

This is excellent information. We've got a couple in our family who struggle with an acidic system.
WHat helped my son was shortening for eczema. Then, I guess just tea tree oil for itchy rashes-but, wow. Thanks for this. I'll have to try it. Hyrum still gets cold sores pretty easily, and gets nauseous on car rides half the time.
:)
I'll look it up online and see what's available.

Elsa had terrible ezcema this summer--all over her body. We went to 3 different Dr.s and finally the last one (immune system specialist) said to stop bathing her. This was really hard for us because the nightly bath is part of our ritual--as well as the fact that Elsa is a water baby. But we listened and within a few days she was completely clear. It never came back and we have eased back into baths.

Rachael, I hope you find something that works well for your family soon.

Summer, glad you were able to get it cleared up!
