Relief Repair Replenish Balm

Hi!

I just wanted you to know how FANTASTIC this balm is - I've never used anything like it!

I was given a pot to try for itchy legs - I was a little sceptical as nothing in the past has really worked for me - not this time - my itchy legs had cleared up in JUST ONE DAY!  Then I started using the balm for all sorts of things - dry lips and hands - and it worked for everything!

I got a terrible scald - the skin was peeling off and was in a very bad state, working in a busy A&E I showed some of my colleagues my burn - they all said it would scar badly.  I decided to try putting the Bria balm onto the area - and it was honestly like a miracle!  The wound just started clearing up right there and then and I do not have any scar whatsoever.

One of my daughter's teachers received a burn from the oven and I gave her my pot to try - she also couldn't believe how well the burn healed - in fact - she wouldn't part with the pot and I've had to buy a new one!

I'm just packing for a holiday to India - and I'm really going to put it to the test on my daughter's skin - she suffers from sore skin as she spends most of her time on holiday in water!  Can't wait to see if it works!

Don't hesitate to try this - everyone I've recommended it to has loved it!

Hi Lee

Wonderful Magic Cream

This is what I call your eczema cream and my daughter age 9! I have been using this cream for over 2 years and it has changed my daughter's life.  She has suffered from severe eczema from being a baby and was at one point being seen once a month by the Dermatology Department at Sheffield Children's Hospital.  She hasn't needed to use steroid creams since, so the cream has really changed our lives.  At the moment her skin is completely clear apart from a few sore patches around her mouth.

On one of my visits I bought some cream for my friend to use for her son and daughter.  Again, she has found it to be life changing and her little girl who is age 3 calls it her magic cream.  She recommended it to a work colleague who had been given a 2 month supply of antibiotics and steroid cream for her skin, as she suffers from a skin complaint on her face.  She has been into work since and said she couldn't believe the difference in her skin within a couple of days use.  She has been to see a Dermatologist at Doncaster Royal Infirmary who is now recommending it to patients.  I have also been recommending it to other people, so from my first visit to the quayside your cream has transformed lives.

Thank you so much

Kind Regards

As a practitioner of Chinese medicine, I have found Bria Organic Balm to be an excellent topical application for the treatment of dry, inflammatory skin conditions, particularly eczema, and particularly amongst children. Its virtues as I understand them are as follows:

• It is moisturising without suffocating the skin. This is therapeutically important because not all dry skin conditions are due to actual dryness. According to Chinese medicine the reasons why skin can become dry, itchy and inflamed vary greatly. For example eczema in young children is frequently due to fluids becoming blocked under the skin (‘dampness’ in Chinese medicine terminology); this prevents the blood from properly nourishing the skin, and thus causes the heat, itching, dryness and redness that characterises eczema. Bria Organic Balm can be applied to this type of skin problem to keep the skin supple and prevent further dryness, without preventing the skin from breathing (thus keeping the heat and redness in and the fluids stuck).

• It provides an alternative to the mineral oil products that currently make up the bulk of current conventional topical medical treatments. These paraffin-based products are ubiquitous, and come in many forms. And whilst they can certainly be less allergenic than some of the ‘natural’ products on the market, in many people they seem to actually aggravate dryness. A patient I recently treated had extremely painful, dry, cracked fingers, and only needed to withdraw from the mineral oil products and steroid creams he had been using for the previous few years – in conjunction with Bria Organic Balm application - and his hands began to heal up.

• It helps to prevent infection. In many cases of eczema, the continuous cracking of the skin easily causes opportunistic infection by the bacteria that tend to colonise the skin of certain people. The chickweed in Bria Organic Balm seems to help prevent such opportunistic infections.

• It reduces inflammation. If Bria Organic Balm is used in conjunction with therapy that addresses the root cause of the condition (often internal, which is why many skin conditions will not resolve with topical application alone), it can be used as an alternative to topical steroid creams. Obviously with severe skin conditions it is unwise to immediately withdraw from steroid creams without proper supervision, and such conditions usually need appropriate internal treatment from a skilled practitioner).

In my opinion Bria Organic Balm is one of the best topical applications on the market, and I thoroughly recommend it for people with dry, inflammatory skin conditions.

Relief Repair Replenish Skin Cream

It’s fab – much lighter so sinks in faster – used it on a cold sore & it healed in no time!

LOVE the NEW Relief, Repair, Replenish Skin Cream! I've used the Balm for a long time for my dry, eczema prone skin which has stopped the need for steroids. The new cream is proving equally effective at preventing & soothing. I especially love the lighter texture for my eye lid eczema day & night. As it's more easily absorbed I also apply it elsewhere before dressing & save the heavier balm for night time. As a GP, I only wish I could prescribe it for my patients!

It's already working a treat for my mum - I think she was sceptical at first. I use it for everything - even lip balm - it's just amazing how far it goes!

Thought you would like to know that there’s loads of my colleagues at the RVI who have started using Bria and rave about it - everyone wants to borrow it! Good job a little goes such a long way!

We’ve been on a yacht out in the Ionian Sea – visiting Greece and her islands, got pestered by mosquitoes every night despite suing the strongest products on the market. Being on a yacht I had tidied everything into the various cubby holes and couldn’t find my Bria with lemongrass until the 3rd last day. I used it and no other anti-mosquito products as they just weren’t making any difference. Result – NOT A SINGLE bite! I did the same the next night in case it was a coincidence – and the night after – and STILL NO MORE BITES! I love it and wouldn’t be without it now – problem is I had to leave it on the yacht as the hostess loved it so much – she said she was in love with the smell – it doesn’t strip nail varnish like the other products to repel mosquitoes and it leaves the skin looking and feeling fabulous – what’s not to love?
