subject: Eczema Beaten - How To Get Rid Of Eczema Fast [print this page] Eczema is a term for several different types of skin swelling. The term eczema is derived from the Greek, meaning "to boil out." The name is particularly apt since to ancient medical practitioners it may have appeared that the skin was "boiling." Now the question is this: How to get rid of eczema fast?
Number one: Lemon or lime juice. Lemon juice helps the skin to heal. Apply it to the affected area, let it dry, and leave on overnight.
Number two: Aloe vera. Aloe vera is a succulent plant found in the Caribbean, South Africa, and South America. For thousands of years, the aloe vera has been used to soothe the skin and aid in healing. Among its many uses, the plant can also be used for eczema. It really depends on what part of your body is affected by eczema. If its on your scalp, then you should use aloe vera shampoo. If its on your body, then you should use aloe vera soap, followed by aloe vera gel or lotion. It is perhaps best to still use the natural aloe vera gel, which you can easily obtain by cutting the tip off an aloe plant and rubbing the gel directly on the skin. You can also scoop out the slimy inside of the plant, puree it in the blender, and apply it on your skin. Aloe vera works because aside from being a moisturizer, it also possesses anti-inflammatory and healing properties.
Number three: Oatmeal. Oatmeal is a fiber-rich and nourishing food that has been used for a number of skin problems since ancient Egyptian times. Because of its unique properties, it can soothe and relieve the symptoms of eczema, and also help prevent the condition by keeping your skin healthy. Oatmeal comes in many forms such as lotions or compresses, but the most effective remedy for eczema is perhaps the oatmeal bath.
These are natural ways on how to get rid of eczema fast.
