How to cure eczema naturally?

1. Relieve eczema naturally with Aloe vera

Aloe vera and more specifically aloe gel is an excellent natural product to use against itchy and dry skin caused by eczema.

Aloe vera contains important properties for people suffering from eczema, including properties:

• healing
• moisturizing

• soothing

In addition to helping relieve and calm eczema, aloe vera also helps against psoriasis, acne and of course skin dehydration. So apply aloe vera gel as soon as you feel the need, when irritation and itching appear.

2. Baking soda remedy for eczema

A baking soda home remedy for eczema can also be used to quickly soothe the itching.

Here’s how to make this first home remedy for eczema:

2. Mix well and take your bath for 10-15 minutes (or more if you can).
3. Dry yourself gently by patting your skin with your bath towel.

This baking soda bath will quickly and effectively relieve itching caused by eczema on the hands, back, legs and all over the body.

This oil, which is made up of antioxidants, contains beneficial properties for those who suffer from eczema:

Repeat 2-3 times a week for 4 weeks to effectively soothe the itching and irritation caused by your eczema.

6. Calm eczema with homemade honey ointment

To finish with my tips and tricks, here is a last one which consists of making your own homemade ointment for the skin.

1. In a double boiler, add an equal amount of raw honey, olive oil and beeswax.
2. Gently melt all the ingredients, mix well and leave to cool.

You can apply this cream as often as you want. Thanks to the antibacterial and antiseptic properties of this ointment, you will be able to effectively reduce skin inflammation.
