Grover's Disease: What works to help find relief?

My hubs seems a tad better. We are in Oregon and I must be making his smoothies SUPER strong, as I use 1/2 a bunch but it's a lot!! Way more than 10 stems/stalks. My question is are you guys (whom the smoothies are working for) still using steroid creams or has this eliminated the need. Thanks! I'm still hopeful.

Steroids never helped me with Grover's. Like you I put in half bunch, about 2 generous cups. I read on Earth Clinic that one person whose original breakout was going on 6 years and was desperate began using 6 bunches a day and it has now gone into remission for the first time. The smoothies are definitely helping, but being cautious and keeping my passion for gardening limited to about 11:30 am and I work my yard in the shady areas getting outside just at sunrise and shower immediately afterwards. My skin has had no new break outs in weeks now and the breakout I started getting before joining the cilantro club is healing. Some residual itch but no pain, (pain was a major symptom for me which not all get. My skin feels like it has a minor sunburn, yet if I do sweat my skin stings/burns so it is not healed.

I do more than 10-12 stems. I do the whole bunch (about a cup or more) But no topical steroids anymore. I may try using less cilantro, but for now it's working so I don't want to jinx it
