A 79 year old woman has a recurrence of acute atopic dermatitis, was using Xanthium Relieve Surface (used 4 bottles). Dermatitis has spread to rib cage, lower back, groin area leading one to believe it has to do with her underwear and a reaction to it. She has a lowered immune system, lots of stress, has allergies and a new season is upon for allergies. Would Xanthium Relieve Surface be the formula to continue with?

I don’t want to assume this is the case but sometimes people at this age don’t have the best hygiene (this is more lifestyle than herb issue). This could be part/whole problem. If Xanthium Relieve Surface is not helping I would stop. It occurs to me that Calm Spirit (for stress/yin tonic) and Astra Essence would be the next thing to try.
