root, corn silk, and marshmallow root in equal amounts.

ably inf amed and urination is a nightmare, use a clay poultice over
the area at nighttime. Use equal parts of the following: bentonite clay,
slippery elm inner bark, barberry root bark, and lavender leaf and

faster than usual. Many practitioners suspect that the thinning of the
small intestine’s walls can allow poisons to enter into the circulatory and
lymphatic systems. Theories as to the cause also include autoimmune
conditions, digestive incapability, food allergies, constipation, candidiasis,
and immunization. In severe cases, the thickened white, red, and silvery
scaly skin (sometimes with yellowish pustules) can be very dry and itchy
