Using Herbs for
Eczema
Eczema, or dermatitis as it is sometimes called, is a group of skin conditions which can affect all age groups. The severity of the disease can vary. In mild forms the skin is dry, hot and itchy, while in more severe forms the skin can become broken, raw and bleeding. Although it can sometimes look unpleasant, eczema is not contagious. With treatment the inflammation of eczema can be reduced, though the skin will always be sensitive to flare-ups and need extra care. |

When choosing a treatment, choose rich moisturizing herbal oils and apply either alone or in combination with a few drops of essential oils. Added essential oils that are slightly astringent, such as lemon, or cypress well help with "weepy" eczema. Antibacterial oils help can help reduce the secondary skin infections that worsen eczema. To help protect and heal the skin even further, you can use a herbal oil such as tamanu, almond or avocado as a base for making a creamy salve. |
