Natural Remedies for Dry, Itchy Winter Skin Problems

[JodyS]

\r\n \r\n Me and my kids use a hand cream called PAB or, there\'s another one called Ultimate Hand PAB. It\'s main ingredient is Tree Resin, with Organic Beeswax and Olive Oil. It is hard to find online, but can be found if you google "PAV SUPER PAB." It\'s at the esthealth website. Can\'t say enough about the results my family have had with these Tree Resin products.\r\n

\r\n \r\n PAV, native American tree resin (NATR), has been around for a long time. I used it years ago for toe fungus. I still have some that still is active. Very long shelf life. Unfortunately for me, it gives me a rash. I must be allergic to the source tree or the resin. But there are many nearly miraculous healing stories about it.
\n
\nSure is messy though. Natrhealth is where I get mine.\r\n

\r\n \r\n My kids and animals have done great with the PAV/Super PAV, but I have switched to PAB since it does not contain the petrolatum and instead the organic beeswax. My skin likes that one better..\r\n

\r\n \r\n I have deep fissures/cracks in fingertips. So very painful and sometimes bleed when you least expect. They are similar to very bad and DEEP paper cuts...take days to go away.
\n
\nFirst there is a slight burning sensation, while the skin rips open. Sometimes on thumbs and index fingers making it virtually impossible to zip, tie, open packages without alot of pain and some bleeding at times.
\n
\nBegan happening within the last five years I would say. Same with ex-husband.
\n
\nNever as a child, young adult...etc.
\n
\nTake good care of health. Good diet. Good supplements or so I thought.
\n
\nCould this be candida overgrowth?\r\n

\r\n \r\n The winter months people eat more grains and less fresh vegetables and for people with gluten intolerance makes it even worse. Skin problems are a sign of a gluten intolerance.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I don\'t eat gluten. If I can help it
\n
\nOrganic. Grass fed/finished bison/beef. Trying to go more veggie and fruits. Raw dairy.
\n
\nI just don\'t get it. ?? Soon as it warms up - everything heals and all is fine.\r\n

As soon as it warms up, you are probably getting more sun exposure. As we age, we don\'t synthesize vitamin D from the sun as much as we did when younger. Supplements are necessary. And vitamin D is very beneficial for skin as well as bones. Consider silica as well. ie. diatomaceous Earth.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Happy, if you can sleep with gloves on, I would slather my hands with a thick Vitamin E or Shea Butter cream before bed a couple of nights in a row, and that should help.
\n
\nI\'ve used some that I bought in 16 oz. jars from Sam\'s Club years back. I have the Genes brand Vitamin E Swiss Collagen cream that also has vitamin A and D in it. I put it on my feet around once a month for a couple of nights, wrap saran wrap around the feet and put on socks. Not that comfortable, but effective for rough, dry, cracking heels.
\n
\nAnother thing is to take a spoonful of unrefined virgin coconut daily internally, I\'ve been doing that for a long time, and I noticed that my legs, around the shins, that was always dry and needing lotion, is now not dry looking or feeling at all.\r\n
