: Anyone know anything on this? I have a client for Friday who has

right

least-reactive

It's difficult to answer that one. The Prophet Mohammed felt henna
was EXCELLENT for excema. My husband has excema, but won't let me try
it out on him.

On people with excema, I've used just henna and lemon juice followed
by steam, and that seems harmless on non-broken skin. On open lesions
.... I honestly can't recommend henna, but I don't know that it would
be harmful. Any henna on open skin will stain the dermis and leave a
freckle.

The terps I use are no more harmful than euc, in fact many have the
same terpines, though in different quantities ppm. If I were to use a
terped mix on excema skin ... I'd use Tea Tree!
