What Are Some Herbal Remedies For Eczema
Andrew Vargas | January 17, 2010The phone rang, it was Linda and she was in tears describing how the previous night her and her husband had to sleep with their son between them, holding his arms so he would not scratch his skin off as he slept. Linda, my best friend, needed help and she needed it now. Traditional medication was not helping her son’s eczema, she was desperate and her desperation made me intent on finding effective eczema herbal remedies to help my friend and her suffering son.
After Linda’s call to me I got to work looking for any thing that would give their family relief. What I found was astounding and saddening. Eczema sufferers can live in a world of hell as they go from one treatment to another, always searching for, yet never finding the treatment that will stop the itching. Just do an online search for eczema images and you will be overwhelmed at the sheer volume of skin disorders you will see. Eczema can affect young and old alike, including little babies.
Through my research, it quickly became obvious that for eczema herbal remedies to be effective, I needed to find something that could be applied topically for instant relief of swelling and itching as well as taken internally to promote a permanent cure. I often find that treatments for body ailments need a multi-pronged approach. In other words, one treatment will not do the trick. For example, in the case of eczema you may need to use a topical treatment, detoxifier and change your diet.
The following is the regimen that was developed for Linda’s son.
Topically: Pau D’Arco in tincture form. The astringent compounds in this herb will shrink inflammation bringing relief to swollen, itchy areas. This was applied to the affected skin areas with a cotton ball several times a day. Of special note is that Pau D’Arco is not the only herb that can be used topically for eczema. You can also use burdock root, nettle leaf powder and kelp powder in eczema herbal remedies.
Internally: I knew the blood needed to be cleansed. We use an effective eczema herbal remedies combo of 10 different herbs; yellow Dock, Dandelion, Burdock, Licorice, Chaparral, Red Clover, Barberry, Cascara Sagrada, Yarrow and Sarsaparilla. To use these herbs, mix together in equal parts and run them through a coffee grinder. Typically, I recommend adults put the powder into gel capsules. However, Linda’s son was too young to swallow a gel capsule, so she would add the powdered herbs to his breakfast smoothie every morning.
Additional: It was very important that we took note of all that was coming in contact with Linda’s son. Of course, she had already done the leg work on this. They were using all natural soaps, cleaners, detergents, etc. During the time of my research I also suggested they go completely organic with food.
Does this story have a happy ending? Yes, it does! In this situation it seemed that we had to come up with our own eczema herbal remedies “recipe” for this little boy to receive his cure. The topical Pau D’Arco tincture brought immediate relief of the inflammation and swelling. Being consistent with the herbal combo, natural cleaning products and organic diet took a few weeks to work, but the results were drastic and have been long lasting. Linda’s son is eczema free for the first time in three years.
If you need have eczema and nothing is working eczema remedies will definitely help you with all of your herbal remedy needs
