Mānuka Body Lotion 7fl.oz / 200ml

Lifesaver!

Greetings! I have wanted to write this review for a few days but just haven’t made the time (-: In mid November I was diagnosed with Pityriasis Rosea. Don’t know what that is? I didn’t either, but it’s apparently a fairly common ailment that has received very little attention from the medical community due to the fact that it’s a benign self resolving condition. However, I can tell you that it makes your skin look horrible, and it takes many months to resolve. Many months. As someone who has always taken extreme care of her skin and prides herself in at 52 years of age have very healthy, younger looking skin, I can tell you this has been a very difficult experience, and I have had to dig deep for patience and acceptance. I was advised to use the gentlest products I could find, so I did use cerave for a while, and it was helpful in that it didn’t aggravate the condition. One day at the health food store I saw the Melora body lotion, and remembered my sister had prescribed a Manuka honey ointment for a scar. I bought the lotion (the last tube at our local health food store), and started using it that same night. All I can say is…WOW! The effect was immediate! It calmed down all the redness (mind you I had this from my neck down to my thighs) and I feel instant relief. I used a whole tube in under a month lol and I credit this lotion to a faster resolution of the PT. PT does resolve and eventually goes away, but with the potential of it lasting up to 6 months, having it resolved in 9 weeks was a blessing and I so grateful for this product!!! Please maybe reach out to any PT group out there and pass the word? Again there is so little out there as far as what helps. Basically you are told to hang in there and wait it out, but the wait is miserable because it is so widespread, unbecoming, and slow to resolve!! Thank you for your time and your product!
