Fijian Herbs

Hi! I got lichen planus and it healed in less than 12 days after seeing a traditional medicine woman. Firstly you're not supposed to bath for 3 days as the water aggravates the skin. Then you're supposed to apply Fijian herbs to your skin everyday for 3 days. After the 3rd day, you take a swim in the ocean and she helps scrub the sores off and then the renewal of your skin begins. Not sure whats in the herbs. Also she recommends following the seventh day diet as in no red meat, caffeinated products, no crustaceans, spicy food, food with tomatoes, no bananas, etc. It works
