Our bodies are 70% water and we lose a lot of that through sweating, breathing and waste. On the outside; instead of a bubble bath or a body wash or any type of bathing that require items fragrances or chemicals, try bath oil instead. You can find these at your local specialty shops or online (eBay).
One of the best natural eczema cures is consuming raw fruits and vegetables. Go for green leafy vegetables like spinach, coriander, fenugreek, asparagus etc. Fruits and vegetables provide essential nutrients for your skin. You may also go for fresh juices like - guava, aloe vera, tomato, beetroot, pear etc. These juices provide cooling to the body and skin.
