Healing BXO Naturally

Comfrey seems to help accelerate the healing, but what I feel like it really needs right now is some moisturising. So, I'm going back to Creme Complete. I've been on and off with almost all my treatments lately, and I need to stop. It's Creme Complete every day now, for at least a week and we'll see how it goes. Now my itching seems to be back under control as I'm feeling a lot calmer, I feel like it's worth trying something a bit more 'restorative'. Back in a week or so with an update.

I believe I can say for almost certain that there is a direct link between extreme stress/fatigue and my BXO. I After almost nine years of being married, my marriage is ending. It has been on the cards for a while, and I've been unhappy for the last few years (at some level, I actually wonder whether it may have been responsible for my BXO) but I've seen a few things lately that forced me to face the facts that my wife will never change, and I need to leave. As they say about separation, it's one of the most stressful experiences we can go through. Within about 12 hours of the conversation with my wife about us separating, my BXO began to itch. I tried numerous treatments, all of which seemed to make things worse - this is just like the end of last year when I got run down and stressed due to work. I've since had a very relaxing, clear-my-head couple of days, and things are much much better again. So to me, this shows with almost certainty that my BXO is related to ...

January 2014 October 2014 13th December 2014  21 December 2014 and 19th January 2015 My camera lens on my iPhone is getting very scratched, so clear photos are unfortunately a thing of the past. However, you can see from the most recent pic that it's becoming difficult to detect BXO. Fair to say, however, that it's difficult to tell the difference between white BXO skin and ligth reflections, but you can at least catch the drift.

So yeah... um... about that stuff... So as you know, I picked a load of it and was letting it dry when I last mentioned it. Well, I went out to check on how dry it was getting and when I opened the box, saw that the petals (?) of the flowers were, quite literally, walking away from the box. Ok... this isn't cool, I thought to myself. On closer inspection, I saw what had happened. The small petals/florets, whatever they are called, make perfect houses for insect eggs. What had happened is the eggs had hatched and small caterpillars/larvae of some type of insect, were all walking away from their egg and dragging parts of the Red Clover with it. When I was picking it, I was getting eaten alive by small sandflies as it was not far from a river. I suspect, it was their larvae that were all through the Red Clover. Initially, I decided the best thing to do was to spray it with fly spray, thinking "it won't affect me as I'm not drinking it" but later I started to understa...

My last post didn't really say why, but Comfrey is amazing. My concentrated Comfrey tea that I use topically is, without a doubt, the absolute fastest-acting compound I have ever used on my BXO. Every couple of days, I put some on in the morning. Within about 15 minutes of putting it on, I feel a very slight itch on some of the areas I have used it, and by the end of that day, I will see peeling. I see peeling every day, and I see noticeable progress every day. Very minor progress, yes, but hey... it's progress that's visible... and it happens every friggin day!!! Peeling equals progress.. Or as I find myself saying more and more these days, peeling equals healing. I'm peeling all the time, and it's always on the problem areas. What's most rewarding is that it's on the inner skin, which used to go what felt like weeks without peeling at times. I will need to get some updated photos soon. My phone camera lens is getting too scratched and making the photos...

Comfrey rocks. That is all.

I have a love/hate relationship with weeds. I think just about everyone does. But mine is probably different from a lot of people's. I love using them for practical purposes, and I hate paying money for products made from them. I'd far sooner find a wild source than pay money for a product made from them. In my previous post, I talked about a mystery product. That product is Comfrey. Comfrey is reported very good at remodeling damaged tissue. I thought I'd try some on my BXO and see how it went. I picked some leaves and let them dry, then made a tea from them. I then boiled off most the water, leaving a green/brown coloured liquid that felt slightly oily, and applied that to my BXO. Within a couple of days, the peeling was immediately apparent. No part of my skin was spared either. The whole area peeled at one time or another. However, it was all going well until I read quite a few reports from people advising not to apply Comfrey for more than 10 days at a time, and fo...
