It's possible your dry hands may be your diet's lack of certain essential oils -- for example, fish oil, flaxseed oil, the Omega 6 oils.

What's my story? I suffered from very dry skin my whole life until I started taking Borage oil in supplement form. It didn't take but two days of heavy doses of Borage oil (like 1000 mg twice a day) to begin alleviating these irritating symptoms. At that time, I had a nasty case of eczema, which had plagued me for six months, and it cleared up within two weeks. Now, I can go through an entire East-coast winter, which is very dry, without any skin lotion. What a relief!

But is Borage Oil something you can eat on your raw food diet? I don't think so, but maybe you can get it naturally somehow.This is something to think about anyway.

PS: Your raw foods trial is fascinating! : )
