COUNTRY_OF_REMEDY: USA
INGREDIENTS: none
INSTRUCTIONS: By starting to read labels and by limiting many foods that are
acidic we keep our eczema under controll. We can eat things like tomatosauce,
oranges and dring pop, but just not all at one time and not a lot.
I am a nurse and I
once had a patient come in with strips of duct tape on his arms and legs. He
swore it relieved his eczema when all other remedies had failed. He would place
it on the affected area, leave for several days. I have no idea why this gave
him relief, but if it works, go for it!

Hi Susan
I have eczema, and although it never goes away permanently, when it flares up,
I use dandruff shampoo and/or fungus cream.

Ingredients = Dead Sea Salts
Instructions = My mother has had really bad eczema on her hands & feet for
years, and I have mild scalp psoriasis. I visited the Dead Sea in Israel and
learned that the mineral content is so high that it helps the skin retain moisture,
and regenerate itself faster. And it's been known to help with different skin
problems like eczema and psoriasis. So
I brought some home and mixed it with my shampoo, like a scrub, and exfoliate
my scalp every other day. In thebeginning it itched a lot (the salt is 10 times
stronger than regular salt, be careful if you have
open cuts), but after a week it just got better and better. My mom uses it to
wash her hands & feet every day, and all of the symptoms are gone. I'm not
promising a cure, if I stop using it it slowly comes back, but it absolutely
helps. And it's actually not that hard to find Dead Sea products in the US.
I have found Dead Sea salt scrubs and other products at those little kiosks
in the middle of the mall, and you can always go online. It's also great to
go online and learn more about the Dead Sea and all its properties. But check
the ingredients, if it says sodium chloride first, it's mostly table salt with
a little bit of Dead Sea salt. And try not to use anything with alcohol, fragances,
or dyes, basically any chemicals that can irritate the skin. Good Luck!!

Country of Remedy: Australia
Ingredients: Emu oil is an extract from
the emu - a bird native to
Australia and New Zealand.
Instructions: There are many different
producers of emu oil, but many
of them produce a product that is only "rendered" which means it they
have primarily removed only the fat and the feathers. "Refined" (food
grade) emu will give the best results. Apply a single drop of emu oil to
he affected area 3 times a day. It almost always gets rid of eczema
within a week. It is extremely efective for the treatment of burns of any
kind, and it is a natural anti-inflammatory for the treatment of
arthritis and even carpel tunnel syndrome. I am a 38-year veteran of the
health and fitness industry and a nationally recognized fitness
consultant, and I have personally seen some miraculous results with emu oil
on
hundreds of patients. I have hosted a weekly radio talk show for the
past six years on health, fitness, and quality of life issues, and I have
never had so many calls with positive testimonials about emu oil.

Country of Remedy: USA
Ingredients: The only ingredients depend on which remedy you choose
to try. My son has eczema on his back really bad. He is now getting it on his
right forearm. I read that Noxema cold creme will do the trick or you can be
a little messier and go for Crisco shortening.
Instructions: If you use the Noxema buy the original not the new and improved.
Use twice daily on affected areas. Same as with the Crisco shortening, use twice
daily and about two weeks later the eczema will be gone.
