[YEA]  01/06/2012: Cameron from Brisbane, Qld, Australia: "Neem Oil for Chicken Pox. Yea.

This is our second case of Chicken Pox, read my post under Oatmeal Baths. Colloidal Silver, Vitamin C and Lysine did not work, our first child had the worst case I hope to see. Note she did have a compromised immune system from Chemo!

For our second child I came back to EC and saw the Neem Leaves remedy, I have no idea where I could get them from so I tried Neem Oil applied to each spot as it came up. It did not really seem to make much difference for a day or two but we did not get any but the first few that blistered and the rest crusted over and are already fading on about day five, instead of after about 2 weeks or more. None got really big after we started the Neem oil, I would probably cover the whole body at the first sign of CP as over time with more spots thats what you will end up doing anyway. Neem Oil smells terrible and leaves an awful ring around the bath. She also got itchy after putting the Oil on so have an Oatmeal bath ready and waiting. Keep it on as long as possible.

We also used large doses of Olive Leaf Extract in both cases, which has been shown effective vs Chicken Pox.

Our daughter also had a fever that almost got to 40 degrees C so we used the Egg White remedy(from EC) in some old socks covered with a bag, which got her temp down by .6 degrees in 10 minutes. I have to say I was dubious about it but she was down 1 degree in one hour and was normal in the morning. Do not leave the Egg Whites on for more than a couple of hours, let the feet dry out first and then re-apply.

Thanks Again to EC."

[YEA]  02/11/2009: Vickie from Yulee, FL: "An oatmeal bath will immediately relieve the itch in chicken pox, poison ivy, poison oak, hives, and bug bites! It also reduces inflammation and is a great conditioner for the skin. All you do is place 1 cup of uncooked oats into a clean white cotton sock, tying the open end in a knot. Place the sock in your warm bath water, sit and soak for 30 minutes. Use the oatmeal sock as your wash cloth before getting out. I don't rinse off the 'oat milk'. This will give hours of relief along with shrinking welts."

[YEA]  05/18/2009: Michelle from Smithfield, Queensland, Australia: "My daughter was 7 when she contracted chicken pox. The itchiness was preventing her from sleeping, so I made up a solution of pure peppermint oil & water. (You can also use pure lavender oil). To 1 litre of water add 1 drop. Shake vigorously, tip out half the water, top up with water to again make 1 litre and then do it again, so you end up with 1/4 oil to 1 litre of water. This works on the homeopathic principle of attenuation (to weaken/reduce in intensity). I applied it where-ever the spots were, and within minutes the itching had stopped, and she was able to sleep peacefully. I prefer peppermint oil, as it has a soothing & cooling effect, and the spots clear up quickly with no scarring.
Have respect when using this oil, (as it is very potent) and be careful not to get any near your eyes or face, as it burns! (I can tell you this from personal experience!) Flush with plenty of water should this happen. However, reduced down to a quarter of its strength, it makes a formidable ally against chicken pox itching and scratching!"

[YEA]  04/06/2012: Indigo from New York City, New York, Usa: "My younger cousin, she is 13 years old, recently got chicken pox. My aunt consulted an old friend, a doctor, who recommended spraying ethyl alcohol on the body to relieve itching. It helped for awhile but the rash spread. So my aunt remembered a remedy she heard about when visiting a pharmacy in Brighton Beach. The woman said something about an antiseptic called zelyonka or Brilliant Green being good for chicken pox. Nobody in my family knew what the antiseptic was. We searched on the internet and it turns out (after translating the Russian text) that it is used in Russia and the former Soviet Union as a chicken pox cure. My aunt had to go to Brighton Beach to get it, but the remedy works.

My cousin applied it daily to her spots, and the itching stopped and she could rest. It does leave a stain on the clothing so it is recommendable to wear old or unwanted clothing because after a while the antiseptic smears. But it helps. My cousin didn't feel itchy, and the zelyonka prevented any scarring. Now it's like she never had chicken pox at all. Not a single scar! But I warn you while you use the zelyonka you will look like something that escaped a Dr. Seuss story. The zelyonka washes off okay. Once all rashes are gone, a shower and a scrub will rid your skin of the green color. Good Luck! And don't scratch ;)"
