Fix Eczema With Natural Treatments, & Cures - Calendula & Honey

By:


Calendula: Calendula is an ancient medicinal herb which helps to treat dry and damaged skin which is also excellent for minimizing the effects of eczema and psoriasis. In suspension and used topically, calendula is highly effective for reducing skin inflammation while also soothing irritated tissue.

If you run an online search for calendula, you will find plenty of places where you can buy plants or at least the extract so that you can make your own soothing, moisturizing lotion or oil yourself. Failing this, you might consider buying a commercially produced calendula salve like this one.

The bottom line is that the more often or regularly you can moisturize the affected areas of your skin, the less of a problem you are likely to have. Hence, whenever you have washed away layers of moisture from your skin by bathing or showering, you need to replace that moisture each time.

Honey: Honey is a natural antibacterial substance that is often classified as one of the 'super foods' because of its abilities to boost your immune system and increase your natural vitality and energy levels.

Although most people would probably think of honey as something sweet that the bees make, you might be surprised to know that honey is in fact a very complex mix of antibacterial agents, organic acids and a wide array of necessary trace minerals like iron, copper, phosphorus, manganese and zinc.

I previously highlighted that zinc is an essential element to include in your diet if you want to fight off eczema entirely naturally, so including honey in your daily food intake could be a very smart move indeed.

In fact, honey demonstrates many other qualities which are especially appropriate to an eczema sufferer. For example, surgical wound infections and skin burns respond remarkably well to topical applications of pure honey. Indeed, there is some evidence that burns in particular respond better or more quickly to honey than they do to pharmaceutical burn treatments.

Not only should you include honey in your diet, but it is also something that you can apply topically to eczema affected areas of the skin to bring instant relief and to help reduce the chances of scarring.

Hydrocotyle Asiatica: Hydrocotyle is an aquatic plant with between 75 and 100 species included under this one major 'heading'. However, as a herbal remedy, it has been used for many centuries because of its wound healing capabilities and its ability to aid skin rejuvenation. You may be able to find moisturizing solutions containing this herb, but if not, try to find the herb online and infuse it into a mild unscented baby oil to make your own moisturizing solution.
