A day at the beach

Fantastic advice.  My boys and I love the beach too but sadly we can only swim part of the year due to stingers.  As to salt water healing, it sure does but because we can't swim all year round I had to find another solution.

I discovered the Deodorising Salt Rock and I swear by it.  My oldest boy suffered terribly with Eczema and I tried everything I could find, some eased it and some didn't.  The Salt Rock however, cleared it up within a week, so if you can get your hands on it, it would really benefit your son.  I purchase it at the markets here and it costs between $8 and $15 (depends on the size) and one rock will last for years.  I think I have seen it in chemists, but you may need to ask if it is the same thing.  It certainly looks like it and they sell it as a deodorant stick which is another great use.  It's looks like a white hazy crystal and you just put it under the tap and wipe it over the problem area.  It leaves an invisible shield and is amazingly soothing.  It is also fantastic for Cold Sores, any itchy rash, mosquito bites (or any bites for that matter), Tinea/Athlete's Foot etc.  My other favourite use for it is on any sores, cuts etc as it helps them heal so much faster and stops infection.  I hope that you can find this rock if your interested as it is one of natures miracles.

Thanks again for the great advice.  Regards, Colleen

I have heard that salt water does heal the wounds. I've done it a few times i've had a really bad cut or scar, and it's healed up very nicely. I dislike the beach soooooo much, but i did this to heal the wounds quicker. My daughter didn't like the beach either.
