Contact Dermatitis on the hands

Axhilirit E Moisturizers (same Axhilirit Eczema oil and cream - New International Packaging)

What can I use for Contact Dermatitis on the hands

Axhilirit© Eczema Cream is a rich moisturizing cream best suited for extremely dry skin as well as on the face, hands and feet where it leaves a non-greasy protective layer.
Axhilirit© Eczema Oil is versatile, can be used with other creams and oils, as a moisturizing bath oil and works exceptionally well as a spot treatment, especially if there is open and bleeding cracks in the skin. 
Axhilirit© Eczema Products are economical. A drop of oil or pea size amount of cream covers approximately 10x10cm of skin. The products may be used up to three times a day. The amount of product used as well as the frequency of applications should be reduced as the skin condition improves.

Curing Eczema

Axhilirit E (eczema) Moisturizers - same wonderful products - New International Packaging! 
Axhilirit Eczema Oil and Cream has been renamed to Axhilirit E Moisturisers
Exact same product - new name - new packaging

Can Eczema-type skin conditions be cured?


Eczema has reached new pandemic levels with pharmaceutical medication not delivering relief as it used to. As a result, people with eczema symptoms are turning in desperation to alternatives to try and alleviate their conditions.

The pattern is as follows:
You have a dry and itchy skin, toddle off to the doctor or specialist who prescribes a pharmaceutical product that might or might not suppress the condition for a while, just for it to flare-up with a vengeance as soon as you have completed your course of medication that needed a second bond to afford (normally between the first and second bond repayments) or your favourite trigger, stress, rears its head.

Sounds familiar?

Then, when you ask your medical practitioner why you get eczema, a host of reasons are given without making any sense, right?
The reason for this is because, after all the years of treating the condition known by different names depending on where on your body it should choose to appear, no-one really knows why the body of eczema sufferers reacts to stimuli by causing a low grade anti-inflammatory response. This is a typical symptom of all auto-immune conditions.

The medical fraternity has not yet found a cure for eczema and what they seem to present as a solution is no longer providing any relief to patients.

The best solution for eczema sufferers is to take control of their situation, educate themselves on all aspects of their condition, and find a balanced way of managing it.

The following suggestions are from personal experience and investigations from thousands of individual's blogs and public forums. People may differ from my opinion, but it is just that, my personal opinion and hopefully some eczema sufferer might find a light bulb moment on this blog post.


1. Find your triggers
Whether it is food, DNA related, emotional or environmental, at least from here you can start to eliminate the triggers.

1.1 The Food trigger
Because food is no longer food (with all the preservatives and additives and mixing up of genetic GMO) be careful what you put in your body. Even milk, eggs or meat from animals fed with GMO modified products can trigger eczema and should be avoided if possible or at least used sparingly. In my case I found no problem with natural soybean, but GMO soybean turned out to be almost lethal (Shucks! they even started putting it into my favourite brand of chocolate!!!).

All commercially available maize and soy products in South Africa contain GMO and should be consumed with caution. Most bread, cookies and breakfast cereal contains maize or soy. Soy is also a hidden ingredient even in sweets such as chocolate and ice-cream, so check those labels as well.
Read the labels of all processed and canned goods and avoid those with too many ingredients you cannot pronounce.
Eat as fresh as possible or grow your own food garden if you have a patch of earth available to do so.
This might seem expensive eating, but compared with what you will eventually save on eczema products and discomfort, it is doubly worth your while.

1.2 Allergy triggers
There is a whole debate about where the recent (30 years or so) allergy pandemic comes from, but that is a whole other issue. Get yourself tested, even if it is only a skin allergy test at a clinic. Make sure you know what you are allergic to in order to avoid those triggers. It makes for a far better life when you know for sure what to avoid.

1.3 Environmental Triggers
Not much one can do about these, but note that eczema on the hands, in the face and neck can be triggered by contact with simple things like paper or soap. Protect your exposed skin and do not touch your face or neck while using known skin irritants.

Pollution is another eczema trigger and goes hand-in-hand with asthma. Impure air or smog is one of the great triggers, especially in children. In the UK, scientists tested female subjects that had washed their faces and cleaned off as many chemicals as possible before going to work. At the end of the day analysis showed that they had collected more than 320 additional chemicals on the skin of their necks and faces from their environment at the end of the day. Scary!

Then comes stress, the number one trigger, overlooked many a time by doctors and missed by most eczema sufferers.
Most people have ways of dealing with stress. In eczema-prone people the stress levels can show in the skin. This is apparently because of the increased level of stress hormones in the blood stream causing the auto-immune flare-up.

1.4 Family History
If you have a family history of eczema or asthma, it is highly likely that you will inherit the condition (thank goodness government has not found a way to tax this kind of inheritance).
These can be managed, but will always be an underlying threat to a comfortable skin.
The main DNA related eczema-type condition is called Psoriasis and thus far can only be managed.
Unfortunately, again, it walks hand-in-hand with the same type of triggers as eczema with the main trigger being stress.


2. Find a treatment regimen that works for you
There are many products, means and ways for eczema sufferers to alleviate their specific symptoms. Here are but a few.

2.1 Health Care Practitioners
If you choose the main stream medical method, find someone who will spend time with you and answer your questions or at least try and assist you in finding something that works for you.
Stay alert, for eczema can become a serious and debilitating threat and certain skin conditions left untreated can become life threatening. If the regular bout of eczema does not abate with your normal treatment or worsens rapidly, see a medical practitioner.
If the eczema area is open, bleeding, swollen or hot to the touch, see a medical practitioner immediately. A fever also indicates some form of infection and you may need supportive medication.

2.2 Be aware of Topical Steroid Withdrawal Syndrome
Many people have reported that their eczema does not respond to topical cortisone or steroid containing products after a few cycles.
The resulting withdrawal symptoms are called TSW and simply mean that the body seems to see the steroids and cortisone as toxins that are then removed through the skin, causing severe flare-ups that do not settle with more exposure to corti-costeroids.
In this regard, most TSW sufferers have chosen to wait it out, allowing the skin to do its own thing, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable it is. Over time, it gets better and the skin eventually settles down, with only the odd flare-ups now and again.
This is my wife's eleventh year after TSW and she has been flare-up free for the last 5 years while managing her condition.

2.3 Moisturize
In a lot of cases, an effective moisturizing regime takes care of the eczema as well as the dry, itchy skin.
Best topical products to use seem to be as natural as possible.
q     Olive oil if you are not allergic to it.
q     Plain coconut oil or cream is used as the preferred natural moisturizer.
q     Baobab and Jojoba oil is just as good if you are not allergic to nuts.
q     Pharmaceutical grade petroleum jelly (sterile and non-carcinogenic, also called White Vaseline in South Africa), as it locks the skin's own moisture in. It is just a bit of a messy business.
Other sufferers have found their own lotions and potions that work for them.
The Axhilirit Eczema Cream (oleoresin, coconut, baobab, jojoba mix) was specifically developed to suite my wife's condition.
Avoid products with flavourants, fragrances and any artificial or chemical additives.
Use natural soaps wherever possible. Natural soaps can be found in Pharmacies and Health Stores.

2.4 Go Cold Turkey
Some eczema sufferers have decided to stop all treatments - not using ANYTHING on their skins, going on detox diets and allowing the skin to 'do its own thing'. This does not work for everyone. In a busy society the world does not stop for people to sort out their skin problems, with many an eczema sufferer having to take time off for prolonged treatment at a facility or change careers in order to manage themselves.

2.5 Try different products
There are many products on the market for eczema-prone skin, pharmaceutical, natural and cosmetic. In many cases it takes years for a sufferer to find something that works for their specific skin.
In our search seeking a product my wife's skin responds to, we have found that some products worked well, but would disappeared off the market in due course.  
I was fortunate enough to (accidentally) develop the natural products that worked best for her skin, so I trust that she will have this available for as long as she should need it.


3. Rural meeting Cosmopolitan
In South Africa, many people work in urban areas, learning and experiencing many new things including how to manage eczema appropriately.
Then, when it is holiday season and they return to their traditional roots, they take home with them the new knowledge on how to deal with issues, including skin issues.

It is with joy that I hear about clients going home and sharing their knowledge with their family members. When we receive the feel-good stories, I know that my mission of assisting people to open their minds to find solutions to their skin problems has been accomplished.

Psoriasis?

Old RSA Packaging
Axhilirit E (Eczema) and Axhilirit HO (Healing Ointment)
Now in New International Packaging


What can I use for Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a genetic condition and can not be cured at present, only managed.

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that results in the overproduction of skin cells. The dead cells build up into silvery-white scales in severe cases. The skin becomes inflamed and red, causing serious itching.

Eczema in turn is also an autoimmune condition where the skin reacts to a real or imagined irritant and causes a low grade inflammation.

The Axhilirit Eczema regime for psoriases is roughly the same as for eczema, with the difference that more care should be taken to keep the skin moisturised by applying a thin layer of Axhilirit Ointment. If the condition is severe or the skin has deep cracks, it is advised to use the Axhilirit Eczema Oil instead of the cream, and cover with a thin layer of Ointment until the areas have recovered enough for the cream to be used. The sensitive skin or epidermis at the bottom of these cracks seems to respond better to the Axhilirit Eczema Oil and Axhilirit Ointment.

Client should be aware that the additional layers of skin will shed, and should be encouraged to do so by keeping it moist, but to never actively try to pick or scrub it off. This will act as an additional irritation, thus stimulating the cell production process that is already in overdrive. Care should also be taken to continue using the Axhilirit products for at least a week after the condition clears as this will ensure that the condition stays dormant for longer.

Perioral Dermatitis (Eczema around the mouth)


What can I use for Perioral / Periorbital Dermatitis

Thank you to our client for sharing photos of her condition with us. She had been suffering with Periorbital Dermatitis for many years and has tried, as she perceives it, every medication, potion or lotion possible with no result, some products actually making the problem worse. A friend (a true friend in need is a true friend indeed!) gave her a bottle of Axhilirit Eczema Oil to try, with the photos showing the result after using the Axhilirit Eczema Oil for three weeks.

What is Periorbital / Perioral Dermatitis?
This skin condition is identifiable by a rash consisting of small bumps (1-2mm) that form around the mouth, nostrils, eyes or on the forehead with the skin slightly reddened by a low-grade inflammation. This condition is normally found in women between the ages of 20-45, but may also affect children, men and the elderly. Other symptoms include a burning or stinging sensation, but no itching.
The exact cause of this condition is unknown, but it has been found in many cases that the symptoms appear after the use of topical steroid creams on the face to treat an unrelated condition. Other facial creams, soaps or facial products may also trigger the condition.

Treatment as advised by Health Care Practitioners:
Discontinue use of any steroid containing products that are topically applied.
In severe cases a 6-12 week course of antibiotics is prescribed.
OR
Try Axhilirit© Eczema Products (we have small packaging sizes available)

What can I use for Assistance with Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)

Axhilirit E (Eczema) Moisturising Oil - New International Packaging
Axhilirit E (Eczema) - Old RSA Packaging

What can I use for
Assistance with withdrawal of topical steroids (TSW)

    Early on in developing Axhilirit for my wife's eczema we discovered that it assists in removing cortisone and steroids from the area where it was applied.
    At first this was a severe hamper in our struggle with assisting eczema sufferers as some would have flare-ups after the initial use of Axhilirit, blaming it as a sensitivity response to the natural ingredients.
    After some clients had the fluid tested, confirming that the Axhilirit assisted the skin in releasing the steroids, we now inform clients that they may expect a detoxing effect for a few days when starting on the products.
    So far, about 70% of clients that used Axhilirit did not need to return to any substances or medications and have reported that their symptoms were under control or have not resurfaced.
    Some unlucky clients, like my wife whose eczema is triggered by stress, follows a minimal maintenance regime to keep the flare-ups under control.
    Keep in mind that everyone is an individual and should search for the best solution for themselves.
    Our combined search for the ideal products for my wife took 15 years.

What can I use for Eczema, Dermatitis and other auto immune related skin conditions?

What can I use for Eczema, Dermatitis and other auto immune related skin conditions?

Axhilirit© Eczema Oil and Cream

As stated in my previous post, these articles are aimed at creating more awareness of the products that we manufacture and market, but will also include alternative methods, products and assistance as no two people are the same and react and respond differently to different treatments and approaches.

The first thing a person needs to do when experiencing a persistent problem with rash-like symptoms of the skin is to seek advice from a qualified medical practitioner in order to diagnose the problem, if not the cause. That is half the fight won, for knowledge of your condition will give you power over it.

The first course of action of most medical practitioners is to prescribe cortisone and/or steroid treatment. Educate yourself about the short term relief and long term negative aspects involved in using these products, and then make your choice to use these products or not.

If you are fortunate enough to find out what triggers your condition, do your best to avoid them (I know, it is logical, but some of us find it hard to break our habits). The next is to find your nearest supplier of Axhilirit© Eczema Oils and Creams, and start applying them as soon as possible. More information is available at http://www.healing-oil.co.za/product-info/axhilirit-eczema-products. These products were specifically developed to treat itchy and dry skin conditions, and treats them with a high rate of success. In most cases, about 70%, the symptoms do not return. In the 30% of cases where the client does suffer a relapse or recurrence, the symptoms are milder with longer periods in between outbreaks/flare-ups.

It is advised to avoid contact with chemicals to the skin as far as possible, so try to use soaps and shampoos that are glycerin or naturally based. In addition, it can also help to change your lifestyle to accommodate your condition. These changes can include your diet, supplement intake, elimination of certain foodstuffs, changing the detergent or fabric softener you use, and reducing your stress levels.

Other natural products that you can try that are known for not inducing any negative effects include the well-known gel of the Aloe Vera plant. This gel can be squeezed from the leaves and directly applied to the skin, or use a product that contains Aloe Vera. Calendula lotion is also a good alternative, but be careful to choose a product that has a high concentration of Calendula and little or no potentially irritating ingredients. Organic cold pressed Olive oil has been used by many as a moisturizer that also treats eczema and related conditions.

But first and foremost, use Axhilirit© Eczema oils or cream before trying anything else.

What can I use for Eczema: Tanna's Axhilirit Eczema Story

Tanna’s Axhilirit Eczema story
My 18 year old daughter came back from a weekend away about two years ago with little blisters on her fingers.   The GP said it looked as if she had been bitten by bed bugs and gave her medication which did not help.  Within a few days she had blisters on her feet…. And so the eczema journey began.
I have literally spent thousands and thousands of Rands on various attempts to help her.  These include:
$1·         Four different types of cortisone creams and other creams from the doctor
$1·         A series of visits to a dietician to assess her reaction to various foods
$1·         Four months of weekly visits to a doctor for acupuncture
$1·         Visits to and natural medications from an iridologist
$1·         Visits to a doctor practicing in homeopathy
$1·         And when her blisters were so bad under her feet that she could not walk, visits to the GP for cortisone shots.
All of the above seemed to make a slight improvement, but only for a few weeks and then we were back to square one.
My husband found the Natural-oils website while trying to research ways of controlling eczema.
The final crunch came in July this year, just after her June/July exams.  She is a very contentious student and stresses a lot at exam time which makes her eczema worse.  This time, it came out on her hands, feet and face.  She refused to go to school. I ordered the Axhilirit Eczema Cream and this product has been the most successful of all my attempts to help her.  I wanted to share the following photo’s with you to show you how it worked.
Pic 1 was taken on 13 August 2013, (the day my order arrived) before any Axhilirit Eczema Cream was applied. You can see that her face was inflamed.
Pic 2 was taken on 14 August 2013, 24 hours after the first application of the Axhilirit Eczema Cream
Pic 3 was taken on 15 August 2013, 2 days of Axhilirit Eczema Cream applications
Pic 4 was taken on 19 August 2013, after 6 days of Axhilirit Eczema Cream applications
Tanna has continued to use the Axhilirit Eczema cream and we are so grateful, she has just finished writing her matric finals AND the dreaded stress related part of her eczema outbreaks was kept at bay.
Thank you for this truly amazing product!

What can I use for Blog Introduction

Hi Everyone

After being inundated with 'What can I use for . . . ' questions, I decided to start this blog in order to assist people in pointing them in the right direction.

Of course I am going to be biased and can only speak about what my own products can assist you with, but this is an open forum and anyone with advice, or alternatives is welcome to contribute to the information by leaving comments.

Please do not be rude or undermining and give everyone a fair chance as not all products work for everyone.

We have clients that we rather refer or advise to try other products as our products may not be suitable for them.

These clients would be appreciative to be able to have alternative avenues to try and sort out their skin disorders.

The use of the information on this blog or forum is for consultative purposes only and not meant to be used for diagnosis or to substitute the advice provided by a healthcare professional.

Kind Regards

Ronald
