eczema relief cream
My TCM friend (based in HK) came up with a cream that is purely made from TCM ingredients, Vaseline and bee wax (for the texture and solidifying), he has started selling in his HK clinic and the feedback we gathered is quite promising. We are thinking of bringing the cream into Singapore but we need to ensure the effectiveness of the cream before launching it in the local market. According to my friend, those with G6PD cannot use due to the some of the TCM ingredients i.e 黄连 etc. Basically, there are two type of cream i.e. one for targeting the issue and the other one for prevention of relapse (i.e. use it like a post-healing cream).
Some information to share (from our first batch of testing myself/relatives/friends) in order to manage some expectations:
1. It is quite effective to curb itchiness but the effectiveness to relieve the bump is slower then steroids cream (5 ~7 days vs 4 days).
2. No side effects i.e. thinning of skin (steroids cream tends to “thin” skin especially on delicate areas like neck.
3. Cream is for external application only, not orally intake.
4. The “logic” behind the cream is to use TCM to expel the “heatiness” and neutralize the inflammation, while the Vaseline and bee wax is used to give it a paste texture so it will not dry up too easily.
I still have a few small bottles from my first batch of cream for whoever is interested to try, I will try to get more from HK for the second batch (non-biased) test, just need you to do a short survey for me after using. Let me know if you are interested to try, I will pass you the cream to try (free of course), I can be reached at gmail.com (little.whatever.cream@)
