PregnancyWhile pregnant, the skin can also dry out more than normal so drying  treatments such as benzoyl peroxide cream or gel may be too harsh. It’s better  to use products that are natural in origin. Tea tree oil is safe to use on spots  and blemishes. An every day facial wash, such as the essential facial wash is  mild enough to be used on skin during pregnancy. If you have blackheads and oily skin, clay masks are fantastic for absorbing oils and blocked pores - try kaolin  and bentonite clay.Remember to drink plenty of water and eat lots of fruit  and vegetables - beneficial for your skin and the developing baby!  Treating Scars and Red MarksThe best treatment for scars and red marks left behind from acne is alternate  use of Acnezine with rosa mosquito oil.

I also saw before and after pictures of a women who had lymphedema (severe swelling in her legs). Lymph massage treatments cleared the obstruction and all the swelling in her legs went down over time to almost normal. The before and after pictures were incredible! I would have loved to meet this women but she was done long before we arrived for treatment. I still think about her sometimes.
