Title: sore through brambling
Post by: gwynnethmary on September 03, 2012, 22:46:20
Can anyone recommend a good cream for sore arms and legs after battling with nettles, thistles and brambles?  Next year I will definitely be controlling things better!  Iloved wearing shorts today, at last, but am suffering now!

I would recomend a large glass of 'Bristol Cream' with ice! or how about a  large 'Baileys'? :P

i've had the same experience earlier this morning. usually, i just carry on with my day as i don't really care (until i get in the bath tonight!! :'()

do you have any aloe vera gel? it has soothing healing qualities for wounds, burns and bites. if not, then maybe a comfrey cream, or nappy cream, Sudocreme.

At the lottie I self medicate with dock leaves, which we have in astronomical abundance, but it's when I get out of the shower/bath that I feel it....will look for some aloe vera gel....it sounds as if it would do the trick.  Thanks folks.
