Mudah2an bisa menjawab pertanyaannya en berguna buat yg lain. Buat yg udah punya en dah tau, maap ya? cici was Cacar Air/varicella/Chicken Pox: ......... ngomongin soal cacar air,... pengobatannya katanya ada yg bisa pake parutan jagung yg di tempel atau di oleskan ke tubuh balita kita gunanya untuk mengurangi rasa gatal memberikan efek mendinginkan dan juga katanya lagi nggak akan membekas luka2 cacarnya itu (menurut hemat saya sih nggak ada bekas karena rasa gatal hilang karena pake parutan jagung ini, ;) ) nah kemaren saya baca majalah/novel luar, disana di ceritakan anaknya lagi kena cacar air dan dianjurkan berendam dengan air perasan havermut 3 kali sehari, disamping mengurangi gatal dan mendinginkan juga lebih cepat kering katanya ...... .......... Baru-baru ini juga di mobil saya sempat dengar dari siaran radio tentang treatment cacar air dengan oatmeal bath (sayang nggak tuntas dengerinnya :)). Kelihatannya, oatmeal bath ini semacam pengobatan tradisional/decoction-nya orang bule, sama seperti kita pakai daun jarak, bawang merah, kencur, jeruk nipis, minyak kelapa, dll. Mungkin fungsinya sama dengan parutan jagung (refer to kandungan dan komposisi jagung dan cereal sebagai sesama nutrisi berkabohidrat tinggi dan mikronutrien-nya yang hampir serupa). Salah satu khasiat medis oatmeal memang untuk shooting the itchy skin. Dari info lain, disebutkan juga bisa sebagai treatment eczema. After all, ini mungkin bisa semakin mendukung opini bahwa cacar air termasuk penyakit infeksi virus yang tidak membutuhkan pengobatan antibiotik. Ternyata ada yang diciptakan Tuhan dan disediakan alam bisa juga digunakan dengan khasiat yang kurang lebih sama sekaligus meminimalkan kontak langsung tubuh kita dengan zat-zat kimia via pengobatan oral. Apalagi kalau anak kecil yang umumnya mengalami cacar air yang 'mild', cukup home-treatment (dengan berbagai alternatif mulai dari mandi - dengan PK, parutan jagung, oatmeal - serta penggunaan bedak) yang membantu mengurangi sakit, gatal, tidak nyaman dan menghilangkan bekas cacar. Let time and immune system do their job for body recovery :) Oya, ada cuplikan artikel tentang treatment seperti ini. Saya posting di sini untuk jadi tambahan info, mungkin bisa jadi alternatif kalau stok jagung di rumah tidak ada :) HOW TO DEAL WITH CHICKEN POX IN A NATURAL WAY (from the book Natural Medicine - by Beth MacEoin) ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS It is worth noting that for chickenpox it is quite appropriate to give the indicated internal remedy while also applying a topical preparation to the skin. If there are any signs that you may be getting out of your depth with self-help measures, do not hesi­tate to seek advice from a trained practitioner. TOPICAL PREPARATIONS Lotions, creams or essential oils can he applied to the skin to soothe and heal. Choose from any of the following, bearing in mind that none of the substances mentioned for application to the skin should he taken by mouth. Home remedies. Once the spots have emerged, itchy skin can be effectively soothed by letting your child soak in an oatmeal bath. Put a generous handful of oats in a bag of fine-textured gauze or muslin and suspend it under the hot-water tap while the bath is filling. However, test the temperature of the bathwater in order to make sure that it is comfortably warm rather than too hot. . Irritation and itching may be eased by soaking in a very dilute solution of' cider vinegar: for the correct proportion add one cup of cider vinegar to a generous bathful of warm water. . Scarring from chickenpox spots can be discouraged by applying vitamin E oil to areas that have become scarred or discolored. . Skin condition in general can also be improved by encouraging your child to take foods seasoned by garlic and parsley. Aromatherapy oils . Make an aromatic rub by adding live drops of ravensar (Ravensara aromatica) to two teaspoons of carrier oil. Paint the affected areas with the balm, avoiding broken skin. . A warm water bath using five drops of lavender (Lavendula angustilolia), well dispersed, is comforting. But do not use for children under three. Herbal preparations . If skin is maddeningly itchy, add Urtica dioica (stinging nettle) tincture to the bathwater to soothe irritated skin. The diluted tincture may also be used to bathe itchy areas as often as required. (One part of tincture should he diluted in ten parts of boiled, cooled water and applied with soft cotton wool pads.) . If the spots are proving painful as well as itchy, child may respond better to a mixture of Hypericum and Calendula tincture. This combination has the advantage of promoting pain relief, while also encouraging rapid healing of the skin and discouraging secondary infection. . Once the rash has been bathed with the appropriate diluted tincture, your child may be made comfortable by the application of marigold cream. Although this formulation can also be obtained as an ointment, it is preferable to choose the cream, since this is less moisturizing and less likely to keep the spots moist. This cream is especially useful if' the skin has been broken by scratching, and it is necessary to take steps to guard against infection setting in.

Original Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/invoke.cfm?id=DS00053 Chickenpox Prevention The chickenpox (varicella) vaccine is the best way to prevent chickenpox. Experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that the vaccine provides complete protection from the virus for 80 percent to 90 percent of people who receive it. When the vaccine doesn't provide complete protection, it significantly lessens the severity of the disease. The chickenpox vaccine (Varivax) is recommended for: - Young children. In the United States, children receive one dose of the varicella vaccine between 12 and 18 months of age, as part of a routine immunization schedule. - Unvaccinated older children. Children between 19 months and 13 years of age who haven't had chickenpox should also receive one dose of the vaccine. - Unvaccinated adults who've never had chickenpox but are at high risk of exposure. This includes health care workers, teachers, child-care employees, international travelers, adults who live with young children and all women of childbearing age. Adults and children older than 13 who've never had chickenpox or been vaccinated usually receive two doses of the vaccine, four to eight weeks apart. If you don't remember whether you've had chickenpox or the vaccine, a blood test can determine your immunity. If you've had chickenpox, you don't need the vaccine. A case of the chickenpox usually makes a person immune to the virus for life. It's possible to get chickenpox more than once, but it's not common. The vaccine isn't approved for: - Pregnant women - People with weakened immunity - People who are allergic to gelatin or the antibiotic neomycin - Talk to your doctor if you're unsure about your need for the vaccine. If you're planning on becoming pregnant, consult with your doctor to make sure you're up-to-date on your vaccinations before conceiving a child. Is it safe and effective? Parents typically wonder whether vaccines are safe. Since it became available, this vaccine has been given to millions of people. Studies continue to show the vaccine to be safe and effective. Side effects are generally mild and include redness, soreness, swelling and, rarely, small bumps at the site of the shot. Experts believe that protection from the chickenpox vaccine will last at least 10 to 20 years and perhaps longer, but it's too early to tell whether a booster shot may be necessary later in life. Some vaccines require booster doses. Time and study will tell if Varivax is one of them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yuni (DAR)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <balita-anda@balita-anda.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 3:23 PM Subject: [balita-anda] cacar air > Mau Tanya boleh khan ....? > Kalau cacar air boleh mandi/nggak and boleh kena angin/nggak ? > Ada kiat to ngilanin bekas cacar air ..... mohon infonya, trim's > > yuni > ================ Kirim bunga, http://www.indokado.com Info balita: http://www.balita-anda.com Stop berlangganan/unsubscribe dari milis ini, e-mail ke: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peraturan milis, email ke: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================ Kirim bunga, http://www.indokado.com Info balita: http://www.balita-anda.com Stop berlangganan/unsubscribe dari milis ini, e-mail ke: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peraturan milis, email ke: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
