Thanks, but I don’t have access to any of that. Funny, though, my favorite vegetable is the stalk of the burdock plant - called “cardoni” or “cardones”.
It is also known as “artichoke stalk” because it tastes just like artichokes without all the hassle.
This rash is something systemic and doesn’t really respond to anything topical - except that I finally went to a doc who prescribed a hydrocortisone ointment a little stronger than the OTC product I had been using.
All it does is make it stop itching, but at least that relief makes it eventually go away for a while. I have too many other health concerns to tend to than that, except when it’s raging and seems to block everything else out!
I didn't know that Burdock stem was a good edible. I should have since the root is although you can't always say that if one part of a plant is edible all of it will be. Artichokes are so good I would love that. I have eaten raw peeled thistle stems and they are very good and artichoke is a genus of thistle also.
Burdock root is a little earthy tasting but I found it adds a nice flavor to a stir fry with all the other flavors in it. I just diced the root into water chestnut-like slices. A little goes a long way.
As I’m sure you realize, the best treatment for the rash depends upon its cause, which you don’t know yet. Here are two possibilities.
Your body needs sulfur and Vitamin C to make healthy skin; you might be low in sulfur. You might try MSM, which is food-grade sulfur. You can buy an MSM combo at the health food store. Taking it without Vitamin C will not help. Plus, the combos capsules include other ingredients that should help your body absorb it better.
Another thing to try is to do gall bladder cleanses and kidney cleanses. The theory is that if your kidney is compromised, it is unable to detox whatever toxins you have in your body, so your body tries to expel the toxins through the skin.
Best wishes in finding the correct diagnosis for your problem.
