Health Care Made Easy

Winter hands Print E-mail
Dry, chapped hands, split fingerprints, hangnails?
To help:  Never, never, never use bath soap to wash your hands, bath soap is harsher than hand soap. Wear gloves when you go out the door.  This will help keep hands from chapping, and help that arthritis ache, too, even after the car gets warm.

Another thing for arthritis, my fingers have ached for years, sometimes even burn, I find if I make an effort to keep my hands flat, as much as possible, it helps. 

Don't curl your hands in bed, pay attention, you probably do that.  Try to keep them flat, when you are idle, do not curl your hands.

There are fingerless, spandex gloves that are made especially for the computer, and for sewing.  They can be found at Office Depot, and at sewing centers, about $8 each, and they really help.

Wise Tips

You can also use essential oils in the shower. Sprinkle up to 6 drops of essential oil, or combination of oils, onto the shower floor just before you get in. The delightful fragrance will mingle with the steam and you will be immersed in an aromatic cloud. Geranium and rosemary are fresh and invigorating for a morning shower, while lavender and chamomile are soothing and relaxing for the evening.
