A Natural Treatment for Eczema is a Natural Solution
A natural treatment for eczema or a homemade eczema treatment can be a very effective stategy for the management of this bothersome skin condition.
Natural Cures for Eczema
Soaps Using soap sparingly is a natural remedy for eczema. Use it only in places that really need it. Try not to use it on places where eczema has flared.
While detergents are too harsh, true soaps are milder.
Castile Soap is made from olive oil and is probably the most mild and easiest to find.
Glycerin Soap is another mild, cleanser.
Oatmeal is a great natural treatment for eczema. I use a colloidal oatmeal bath when ever my
baby's eczema
starts to show. He is too young to speak but the relief on his face says it all.
Making a homemade eczema treatment with oatmeal is easy.
Simply use a coffee grinder or blender to turn the oats into a fine powder. Add it to your bath water. It should make the water milky and soft. Add a touch of olive oil for extra moisture. Make sure you use plain oatmeal - no flavors!

Lotions and more cures for eczema
Applying lotion all over, several times a day is important while
treating eczema.
The best time to use your lotion or cream is no more than 3 minutes after bathing. That way it will be better able to lock in moisture from the water.
A natural treatment for eczema will keep skin moist while letting it breathe. Synthetic ones, like mineral oil, are widely believed to "suffocate" skin.
They often aid in skin repair.
Examples of Natural Moisturizers...
- Lecithin - is a popular natural remedy for eczema. Avocado is a great source!
- Glycerin - is the most common and economical
- Shea and jojoba butters
- Panthenol - also known as pro-vitamin B5
- Olive oil - as a main ingredient in a balm or ointment, or alone! Make your own homemade eczema treatment by making a paste with some avocado and olive oil!
Home remedies for eczema
has more ideas!
Here are more natural cures for eczema. Many of them have been used for centuries and beyond...
- has strong anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties
Evening Primrose Oil - a fatty acid shown to be successful in treating eczema
Calendula - anti-inflammatory and tissue healing properties
Aloe Vera Gel - believed to have been used as a natural treatment for eczema and other skin condtions since 2200 B.C.
Note: While these ingredients are natural, they are still potent. It is of course possible to be allergic to any of these plants. Please use caution when trying new cures for eczema.
Do not test on irritated skin. Use extra vigilance when treating infants and young children. I use a thick ointment made mostly of olive oil, calendula and natural preservatives for my baby's eczema flares. I made sure to test a small patch of this natural remedy for eczema on healthy skin first. I now use it liberally on his face and anywhere needed.
Always make sure to get a diagnosis from a dermatologist before attempting treatment. As this site grows I will be adding more information about eczema and natural treatments.
I hope you find a natural treatment for eczema that works for you!
