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! Here you can see

I use a thick ointment made mostly of olive oil, calendula and natural preservatives for my baby's eczema flares.
