Homemade Eczema Treatment
One of the most popular homemade eczema treatments is oatmeal, yes that’s right the same stuff found in your kitchen. Oatmeal is one of the best methods of treating dry skin and itching. You can make treatment yourself or buy ready-made treatments from the store but these are less effective.
Fortunately the oatmeal products on sale can be made at home, coupled with some good lotion oil for treating dry skin these oatmeal treatments can provide long term relief.
So how do you use oatmeal to treat Eczema? Normally it is applied by putting it in the bath, using it as a cleanser, or as a masque.
If you decide to use the bath technique don’t chuck the raw oatmeal in the bath! First, place the oatmeal in a blender until it turns into powder form. To test if fine enough place a small teaspoon in a glass water. If there’s no lumps in the glass then its good to use. To add in your bath, run some luke warm water in to the bath and sprinkle the oatmeal while the water is still running. Soak in bath for 15-30 minutes.
For a cleanser, add honey to your oatmeal when cleansing your face and hands or any other part of the body that is affected. Honey also acts as a great anti-bacterial application. Use this as much as needed and apply it where necessary in equal parts. Rinse off after applied, then leave to let it do its stuff.
Oatmeal mixed with egg whites is an excellent exfoliating masque. Mix them together, smooth onto the face and rinse off only after the egg whites have thoroughly dried. The oatmeal provides the soothing eczema treatment and the egg whites leave the skin soft and smooth.
Obviously, you can’t leave these on all day - which is why you need a shielding lotion. As most eczema is caused by exposure to harsh chemicals, it is vital to keep the skin protected at all times. A good sheilding lotion is the latest natural dry skin and eczema treatment and is now recommended by thousands of doctors. The oatmeal will provide relief and the shielding lotion will protect you from further irritation.
