A big allergy problem?

Question

hi. i can't use any moisturizer because i am allergic to everything except honey and beeswax. my question is, do you think my skin will be ok if i eat olive oil, coconut oil or maybe fish oil and brewer's yeast on a daily basis without applying any moisturizer at all - ever? (the moisturizers that doctors recommend don't help me)

thanx

Answer 1

The Yoga Pranayam (breathing exercises) will  help with allergy  problems.

Build up your timing gradually. If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after 1 minute.

Bhastrika - Take a long deep breath into the lungs(chest not tummy) via the nose and then completely breathe out through the nose. Duration upto 5 minutes.

Anulom Vilom –

Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril  

then – close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril  

then -keeping the left nostril closed  deep breath-in through right nostril

then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.

This is one cycle of anulom vilom.

Repeat this cycle for 20 to 30  minutes twice a day(maximum 60 minutes in one day).

You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed.Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs.You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed.



Bhramri Pranayam -Close eyes. Close ears with thumb, index finger on forehead, and rest three fingers on base of nose touching eyes. Breathe in through nose. And now breathe out through nose while humming like a bee.

Duration : 5 to 12  times

Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day.(Max 60 min/day) Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently.

Once you are better, continue the pranayam once a day.

Be patient, as the benefits will show over a period of months.Only by doing you will benefit

and feel good because you are helping your body.Those who say I have tried everything....

will be amazed at the result of doing pranayam.

Answer 2

I think it would be beneficial.  A lot of people see a change in skin when they start taking fish oil.  Olive oil is also healthy, as is coconut oil!  Brewer's yeast, I'm not sure, as I don't know the effect of B vitamins on skin?

Are you allergic to lanolin (or sheep)?  Lanolin is a very good moisturizer to help keep moisture in.  You can find pure lanolin at a lot of health stores.
