Home Remedies for Children's ECZEMA
- Make a therapeutic bath by tossing a handful of sea
salt in with the running water and adding a few
drops of Lavender (For children over 7 years: a blend
of Lavender and Bergamot.)
- After bathing massage skin with a diluted blend of
Chamomile, Lavender and Geranium in a base of
Rosehip oil.
- Add 5 tablespoons of oatmeal to a cheesecloth or
muslin bag and soak in the bath water. This helps to
relieve itching and soothe the skin.
- Like asthma, eczema is a stress-related condition.
Eczema can be triggered and exacerbated by
emotional upsets. Try to identify the sources of
stress in your child's life and make sure he has plenty
of time for relaxing pursuits such as reading books
and playing games. You could also try guided
visualization.
