Even my pediatrician respected how effective Dr. Cook’s herbal therapy was for my son’s rashes

Here is a young man about 5 months of age who came in with a horrible itching rash all over his body. it started about 2 months after his birth. He was irritable, not sleeping well and itching and scratching himself to the point of bleeding. His mother had taken him to several physicians the only treatment offered was steroids. She did give it a try and found that it was helpful, but as soon as the meds were done it returned even worse. A frustrated mom came into my office seeking treatment. She had tried creams, baths, oils…with just minimal result. Within the first week we saw major improvement in many of his health issues skin was less red and itchy little red bumps had started to diminish, he began to rest better and not be so irritable, less hot and sweaty. We were not able to give him the herbs directly and conveniently so we did so through the mother and her breast milk. It took a couple months to get his skin to look healthy again. His treatment initially was for a about 2.5 months. The mother even noticed as she took the herbs it assisted her in some ways too. He has since come in a few times since just to get a check up and make sure he is feeling good. He now has been growing like a healthy young man should be…

Skin issues can be difficult to treat. Sometimes we have to work longer and be more patient. I have treated many skin problems with success, but depends on the nature of the problem and how long it has been going on. Many times it can be associated with what we eat and how we process our foods. Other times it is more emotional mental as anxiety can be a factor. we here at Classical herbs and Acupuncture look at the body as a whole and do what is necessary to make the best improvement in our health.

When my son was 3 1/2 months old he developed a rash that I thought was eczema. I tried absolutely EVERYTHING to help it but it got worse and worse as time went on. I made a couple of visits to the DR and he told me that sometimes infants have skin issues but eventually he’d grow out of it. My brother was also very sensitive when he was younger so everyone just assumed it was something my son inherited. The rash got so bad that my son couldn’t help but claw at his face, body, and head. He drew blood, he cried, I cried…it was terrible. I went back to the DR again and as I walked through the waiting room people were gasping because of how irritated he was. I felt awful. When the DR walked in he said the next step would be to prescribe a steroid and to only use it for flare ups. Even though I was reluctant to use it because of the side effects, I did and he cleared up within a few hours. It was a temporary solution to a problem that wasn’t so temporary…The rash came back.

My mother has been a patient of Carolyn’s for years and when she was asking about the baby and I, my mom was telling her about all of his issues. She asked several questions about my pregnancy and my delivery and said she could help. My mother called me the minute she left the office and I called Carolyn the same day.

She evaluated my son and I, and started us on a round of herbs. He’s breastfed so it would take some time but he would receive the herbs through my milk. I started the herbs that day and hoped for the best. It didn’t happen right away but there was a ton of improvement within the first couple of weeks, maybe even week. We continued with the herbs for a few months and I’m happy to say that my sons skin is completely healed. No more cradle cap, no more skin irritations, no more scratching…nothing. I did tell my pediatrician at our 6 month appointment what I was doing and he told me “most of the world practices that type of medicine, so I’m not going to tell you not to.”

I’m glad I took the chance. I’m glad I trusted Carolyn and my gut. I’m most glad that I didn’t solve the issue with chemicals that had terrible side effects. I would recommend Carolyn to anyone and everyone.
