Natural/herbal remedies to treat eczema

Question

i had bad eczema as a small child and then it cleared up for many years. it has now flared up again and i don't want to put the chemicals from eczema creams on my body. what are some natural or herbal remedies i can use to treat eczema?

Answer 1

My herbal drink has cured psoriasis patients.  I'm sure it can help you with your eczema.  It is called First Vita Plus

Answer 2

Eczema is a mild autoimmune disorder. This will take 2-3 months, but start taking fish oil capsules (good ones that say pharmaceutical grade) at the highest dosage listed on the bottle. Also take a ginger root capsule twice a day and cut down on dairy products.

Answer 3

the chemical creams are not nice long term as i'm sure you know.

you could try using chamomile essential oil (dissolved in a fragrance free cream rather than oil) and also try using a little in the bath. there are loads of sites on aromatherapy that'll tell you how to use essential oils if you don't know already.

otherwise, i have taken a herb called pau d'arco before and i found it excellent. you can get it in most good health shops.

Answer 4

I took homeopathic sulfur pills for my eczema and it worked dramatically well.  You can get it online or at health food stores.  Here is a good product:
