Heard of using goose grease for colds but not for the skin.
My Nanna also used to stick a raw onion under my bed to keep colds at bay.

Raw onion wrapped in tissue paper and put next to your ear cures earache anne.Done that one and it worked too.Stuff all that expensive medicines.Could not believe it when it worked.Naturual cures are the best

Or buy a goose, cook it, drain the fat off, throw the goose away.

A really good natural cure for excema is to buy Oatmeal from a health store, put it into a muslin bag and tie it under the bath tap when you fill your daughters bath so that the water runs through it, used regular it works! [smiley=type.gif]

The oatmeal thing does work on some people, I have tried allsorts over the years, E45 and Aqueous creams do not work for me, but I will only use steroid cream when desperate. My feet were so bad earlier this year that none of my creams worked and I had to try permanganate crystals in water. I have not seen this used generally since the 80's when I first started nurse training, but it did the trick, I used my usual creams as well. It seems that different things work for different people, I never started with eczema until I was 30. :

try www.skinshop.co.uk they do all natural skin products for various complaints. I have had psoriasis for years and buy Oregon Grape Root skin cream from them, I can't beleive the difference in 3 weeks. It has almost completely cleared up. They do a preparation for most skin conditions, I'm sure you will find something for your daughter.

That's a great link, I have had psoriasis for years,not bad but its a pain in the neck, I was prescribed with with concoction from the Dermatology department at BRI years ago, which consisted in the main of coaltar cream, but after a few months the chemist was unable to get old of the coaltar, so I have been using dermovate ever since, which is okay but only eases it an it still comes back, will order some cream from this firm
