How To Effectively Deal With Your Eczema Skin Condition Naturally

Adults and children suffer from eczema, though children are often more susceptible

. Apart from itching and swelling, the presence of dry and cracked also indicates eczema. Common areas where children are likely to develop eczema are in the creases of skin that covers the elbow and knee joints.

Be especially careful to lock in moisture during the winter months, when you perspire in the heat and if you out in the sun during the summer. Bathing is important to cleanse the skin, but always follow this up with a moisturizer to protect the sensitive skin. Take primrose oil, flax seed oil or borage oil internally for optimum skin health.

Regular application of emu oil or tea tree oil on the affected skin is another herbal treatment for eczema, and can ease swelling with repeated applications through the day. The itchy and dry skin that characterizes eczema is soothed and brought under control when these oils are applied. But it cannot be claimed that they relieve the problem. They do, however, ease its symptoms. Another herbal treatment of eczema is the use of evening primrose oil. The high levels of omega 6 essential fatty acids in the oil is useful in reducing inflammation and prevents the skin from drying up. The oil needs to consumed as a capsule or in liquid form, and is considered a very effective herbal treatment for eczema.

Proper cleaning is very important in the treatment of eczema, but you have to use a cleanser that is gentle on your skin. A natural cleanser can be made with confrey root, white oak bark and slippery elm bark. Check my other articles for more information on how to prepare this.

Avoid irritants-Aside from choosing the products you apply on the skin, you should also be cautious about what gets in contact with it. Wear gloves when you have to hand-wash dishes and clothes as detergents can irritate your skin.

EMOLLIENT - The most effective natural treatment for eczema is an emollient. An emollient comes in various forms such as a cream, lotion, or oil. Emollient has the power to sooth and soften the skin. On hot days, it is a good idea to put your emollient into the refrigerator, this will give it more of an impact as it will cool as well as sooth when you apply it.

stay away from alcohol: drinking alcohol while suffering from eczema, studies demonstrate that alcohol increases eczema or should I say it boosts the speed rate of eczema. Therefore keep away from alcohol.
