Hi Sarah

whether or not you can use papain enzyme powder daily depends on your skin type. If it is fragile, with broken capillaries or very thin from age or inflammation, I would not use it more frequently than once a week. Otherwise, OK as needed.

Hello Julie

pearl powder is an anti-inflammatory recommended for complexion blemishes, anxiety, insomnia, hypertension – I have not heard of a connection to hormones. The naturopath may be recommending the capsules for cooling PMS tension or other reasons. Chinese medicine uses kidney tonics and blood tonics for hormonal support. The tonics are chosen according to symptoms. Some are cooling/moistening; others more stimulating to circulation and energy. You naturopath would have to know about symptoms such as thirst, night sweats, feverish conditions which require cooling/moistening herbs. Or she may need a more warming blood-enhancing tonic that corrects weakness, pallor or diarrhea. See the chapter on menstrual issues in Asian Health Secrets my book and you will find out what sorts of herbs can be useful.

Dear Letha, I learned from a naturopath that pearl powder capsules (2 every morning) may help my daughter by waking up her hormones, as she doesn’t ovulate often. What is your experience with this?

Thanks for your question, Julie.
Powdered pearl taken internally is anti-inflammatory for nervous conditions, acne, or insomnia. It does not lighten skin.

Letha:

I have struggled with melasma for about fifteen years. I recently stumbled across a product from Dadashie. It is their skin lightening cream and it contains oyster shell and pearl. It has helped to lighten the melasma better than 6% hydroquinon. Will taking pearl powder internally also help with melasma?

Hello Mauricio

pearl cream cannot remove enlarged sweat glands. The cream is a beauty cream for reducing inflammation or blemishes.
Those bumps on eye lids are usually removed by a dermatologist or surgeon.
