Hello visitor! Thank you for taking the time to read this article.


Eczema is a skin condition where patches of dry skin develop due to allergies or stress. Some people get small patches here and there, others get more severe developments. Children are very prone to it. The severity of the disease can vary. In mild form, the skin is dry, hot and itchy, while in more severe forms the skin can become broken along with bleeding.

1. Paying special attention to personal hygiene will help alleviating the itchiness and the need to scratch it. Continually scratching the itchy area could lead to infection and end up aggravating the eczema and making it worse. Whilst the above natural ways of treating your eczema is not a comprehensive list it will go a long way to alleviating your eczema misery.

3. Combine 1 tsp of comfrey root, 1 tsp of white oak bark, 1 tsp of slippery elm bark and two cups of water in a bowl. Mix well, and then pour it into a pot. Heat over medium heat until it comes to a boil, and then simmer for thirty minutes. Allow the mixture to cool, then strain out the solids and use the liquid like any face wash.
