Hello All Just thought I'd send a follow-up on my friend who had the terrible rash and was close to giving up b/feeding etc.
We ended up with a preparation of Purslane (a small succulent 'weed', common name pig weed) juice and instructed to mix in cool water dip a face cloth in and place over affected areas. My buddy said as she put the face cloth on she could feel the heat being drawn out and 3 days later it's all but gone! She is now convinced I'm a mystic healer!! (as I went and found the plant and we brewed a new batch up as it grows everywhere up here). She is most impressed with that "list of midwives you have" and will be my number one supporter of one to one midwifery care in the Hunter! She sadly described her birth as horrendous and terrifying and was so upset when the midwife she had bonded with finished her shift! She now understands the amazing value of the care of one midwife! You live and learn eh. Thanks for all the prompt replies. In solidarity Justine -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. Visit <http://www.acegraphics.com.au> to subscribe or unsubscribe.
