Using Natural Remedies.
A Cold compress made from Chamomile, Lavender and geranium oils will encourage new cells to grow and reduce inflammation.
Remedy Ingredients
2 drops Lavender oil
2 drops Chamomile oil
1 drop geranium oil
1/2 cup cold water
How to make the Chamomile, Lavender and Geranium Compress
Step 1: Poor the cold water into a shallow bowl.
Step 2: Place a cloth on the surface of the water to pick up the oil.
Step 3: Gently place the compress on the inflamed skin as needed.
Bathing. A warm bath can be very effective in easing itchiness and relieving pain. Hot water can aggravate eczema, so keep the temperature in the lukewarm to warm range.
Oatmeal or colloidal oatmeal: Regular uncooked oatmeal or colloidal oatmeal can be sprinkled into the bathwater to soothe dry skin.
Baking soda: A tablespoon of baking soda can be added to the bathwater to ease symptoms of itchiness.
Make sure to moisturize after the shower, preferably while your skin is still damp as this locks in more moisture. Creams and lotions work well, but oil-based moisturizers are best as they last longer and form a barrier that prevents moisture from evaporating off the skin.
