(This is a photo of someone’s hand, not mine, who has Dermatitis, but looked similar to my condition)
When dermatitis appeared on my right hand, the Doctor prescribed cortisone ointment to dry up the blisters, and advised using moisturiser to minimise the drying effect of the cortisone. This cycle would continue indefinitely.
I felt is was necessary to ascertain for myself if I needed to treat the dermatitis topically before I decided what action to take.
The mental and emotional issues that helped create this condition had already been identified which were:- “Stirred up emotions of being unworthy or inadequate”, and being on my right hand, means it’s connected to my ‘physical being and doing’. My feelings of unworthiness and inadequacy were constant companions so here was an opportunity to make some changes in my physical world.
The next part of the exercise was checking in with my Angels to ask what, if anything, would help heal the dermatitis. You need to realise that being very naive in this type of practice back then, trusting guidance received from my Angels didn’t come easy. Guidance can come through a word, a feeling, a knowing or seeing a sign. In this case I heard the word “Thuja” which was unknown to me. Trusting the message received this time was very important otherwise I’d always be looking outside myself for validation of everything in the future.
So I set out to find a natural health/organic store in Noosa and, guess what? Thuja was a legitimate herbal ointment. By applying the ointment as recommended there were satisfying results straight away. I was using the affirmation, “I love and accept myself exactly as I am now” for the mental and emotional issues as well, to help the healing process.
There’s always something to be learnt from every condition and in this case, each time the dermatitis healed, the next time it would spread further up my hand. By continually affirming that it would stop before it got to my wrist, it did. This took a few months to achieve. Obviously the ‘root cause’ of dermatitis, unworthiness and inadequacy, had been identified and consequently healed and it has never returned. Another tick.
By the way – the script for the cortisone ointment was never filled.
