Sensitive or irritated skins - McDowell's Herbal Treatments

Some people are born with very sensitive skin and often start their lives with exema or dry or sensitive skin as babies and spend their whole lives trying to get their skin to remain healthy and happy and never seem to manage this for any length of time...

Very often these folk are simply reflecting their emotions on their skin or are uncomfortable within themselves and this reflects constantly on the state of their skin.

In animals a large proportion of skin problems are a reflection of toxins within the system and they are easily treated through the use of blood cleansers. The human skin however serves so many more functions than do animals skin, that toxins are not normally the cause of more than absesses and pimples. Far more often we need to use herbal Nervines (nervous system herbs) to deal with skin problems in humans.

Hives, Psoriasis, Eczema and Flushing are almost purely emotional in origin. Dry skin, Allergies, and Oily skin are mostly reflections of metabolic processes; and overly sensitive or constantly itchy skin almost purely of nervous system origin.

McDowells recommendation

The primary nervine suitable to overly sensitive and itchy skin is the herb Vevain. Along with Vervain, we also include in my Skin Irritant Cream the herbs calendula, Paritime Pine Bark, elecampane, thuja and chamomile along with the Bach Flowers Walnut, Rescue Remedy, Crab Apple and Impatiens.

This cream has many of the herbs in common with the Skin Magic Cream but is more specifically to resolve current sensitivity, itching and irritation as well as healing damaged skin. When the sensitivity problems are resolved this formulation is best replaced by the Skin Magic Cream for long term use.
