PuPPPs is a very itchy skin rash that usually presents in late pregnancy, but it can present in the postpartum period. I have heard of a natural remedy reported to be very effective within 3-5 days. Take the following:
- Dandelion root tincture taken 3 times a day
- Dandelion root has too many beneficial properties to list here. The main ones that relate to this condition are its liver detoxifying properties, its anti-inflammatory properties, and its cooling properties.
- SamE taken 2 times a day
- SAMe facilitates the manufacture of DNA and brain neurotransmitters and supports healthy mood and liver functions.
- A capsule of flax seed oil taken 1 time a day
- Flax seed has many healing properties, including a high essential fatty acid content and anti-cancer agents.
- Acidophilus taken on an empty stomach 2 times a day
- Probiotics are one of the most important substances for promoting healing to be found. They are anti-inflammatory, promote gut health, and help treat imbalances caused by candida overgrowth, parasites, mold toxicity, fungal infections and more.
The alternative is steroids prescribed by a doctor and would require pumping and dumping with formula supplementation. DO NOT take benedryl or any other antihistamine postpartum if you are breastfeeding, as it will dry up your milk.
