INFANTS’ COMPLAINTS – CRADLE CAP (CRUSTA LACTEA) 4
A year later the mother sent us the following brief note: ‘Last year you helped us cure our little girl’s cradle cap. Thank you ever so much.’
Another letter we received from a nurse reads:
‘At the moment I am looking after two children. The boy, now 15 months old, had cradle cap last year. You sent me a calcium complex (Urticalcin), Viola tricolor and whey concentrate. Thanks to your excellent remedies the condition cleared up within a fortnight.’
In this particular case, diluted whey concentrate (Molkosan) was used to dab on the rash. Excellent results have also been achieved by dabbing on Echinaforce, a fresh plant preparation made from Echinacea. Water and soap are quite unsuitable for cradle cap and must be avoided. Instead, use oil, preferably St John’s wort oil, to cleanse the baby’s skin. It is indeed good to know that cradle cap can be successfully treated with these natural remedies, sparing the children permanent harm.
