Dokudami lotion


Dokudami is kind of Japanese herb. But they are usually used as medicine.http://www.flowersociety.org/Dokudami.htm Dokudami seems to be found in Japan, so the name in English is also Dokudami. Some Dokudami is growing in the back yard. When my daughters were worried about atopic dermatitis, my mother-in-law used to make this lotion. It really worked well. Though there seems to be several ways to make it. the way I know is really easy.

You fill up a jar with raw Dokueami leaves and pour SYOUCYU. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShōchÅ« Keep it in the dark and cool place for a month. It will get clear brown liquid. And add some drops of grycerin. That’s all. It is said to work well to decrease our stains.

I hope the liquid in the jar will get good clear brown liquid.
