I have a friend who has eczema. She really likes my lotions but I
don’t have anyting to help with her eczema. I am looking for a recipe
that might help her. Does anyone have a recipe that they could share
or just something I could add to my basic lotion recipe?
Thanks,
Dana

Eczema is a symptom of a disorder which shows symptoms in the
breathing organs of the body - like the lungs where the symtoms are
asthma, or the skin where the symptoms are eczema. Eczema is a
symptom of the disease - not the disease itself. If you treat the
underlying cause, then the symptoms will go away. If you suppress
the symptoms, like using steroid products - the disease gets driven
deeper into the body, and becomes harder to eliminate. A person with
eczema can develop more serious conditions like asthma if the symptom
is suppressed - forced deeper into the body. I would suggest this
person seek the care of a homeopath or a naturopathic doctor who can
help cure the underlying cause instead of pushing the disease deeper
by only suppressing the symptoms. Susan

Well, I made a body butter and put Lavender Eo in it, while at a outdoor show, I
was going crazy itching with my eczema on the lower leg and hand, and I grabbed
the body butter I had set out for people to sample, took a popcicle stick,
(which I have them use each time someone wants to sample it) and rubbed the
butter on my leg and hand and its doing great. Lavender is known antesipic, so
maybe the ingredients and the lavender helps. we’ll see. Marti

I have to agree with the underlying symptom theory. I fought
dermatitis on my face all my life and have been fighting eczema on
my daughter, and she gets it horribly. She has been to several
doctors, and a couple of dermatologists over the past four years. At
one point and time I had started buying every unscented…shampoo,
laundry soap, and making my own lotions to put on it from oils and
EO’s. I even took her off of a dairy for a while (because everyone
was talking about the allergy thing) This worked for a while but
didn’t get rid of it. About 3 weeks ago she broke out again and it
was the most severe case ever, it didn’t even look like eczema to
me, so I took her into the dermatologist ‘again’ (due to my mother’s
whining that I am incapable of solving things on my own) and this
time she advised me to take her to a nutritionist, she said she may
be lacking something or get too much of something else. SO, this is
my next step and may be worth a shot for other sufferers.

over the past four years.<
If you are in a state that licenses naturopathic doctors, you also
might look into that as an option. They use things like herbs and
homeopathy. My son never had eczema once he was treated with
homeopathy and his asthma is a rare occurance. Susan

I went through the same problem with my two stepdaughters, but the one
thing that did eventually work was just dabbing on a rosemary infusion,
which was rosemary tips and flowers steeped in hot water and left to
cool. I dont advocate this remedy, but after the endless doctors,
dermatologists and homeopaths this was the only thing that worked on
them.
