Had a bad rash attack. It could have been due to being overtired, or having eaten bad food for 2 days and no exercise. What ever it was, it wasn't going away fast. Hives were breaking out all over and the normal distractors of praying, trying to send myself to sleep, keeping my hands occupied were not helping the stress of the itch.
Instead a luke warm shower with dead sea salt rubbed all over my body, substituted the itch for pain. Well by the time I got round to having another shower, I had already created scratches on the skin surface.
The pain was hard, but the dead sea salt did the trick and perhaps leached out something that had got onto the skin surface. The rashes calmed down almost immediately after!
I want clear skin by the end of this year!!!

Cook Me
Soooo having used the dead sea salt for 3 days (didn't manage to buy oats but bought lots of other things!), the pain is getting more tolerable so that I can bear to keep it on the skin for a couple of minutes!
Have just been reminded about using Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I have used this in the past but found I reacted to the oil. However, since my system now rejects the E45 creams I was using, I have tried olive oil again. If I react to it then I would just cook with it! Anyway applied it on both arms and no reaction.......
So am now salted and oiled - wonder what cooking time I should put myself on?

Not All Sea Salts Are the Same - Dead Sea Sea Salt
Someone has recommended dead sea salt to help accelerate the healing process. Doing a web search, seems like it may have theraputic properties over normal ocean sea salt due to its higher mineral content.
So I bought 1 kg to see if it would have an effect. I applied my concentrated sprinkling of salt over my entire body as per normal. OMG - intense pain on the scratched areas. I could not keep it left on for long although it appears to have had an effect on the skin. Maybe it has a more acidic nature that a pH test would indicate.
Have just been recommended to mix it with a solution of oatmeal before I apply it to my skin. So off to the shops I go to buy oats!
