Guest guest Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Psoriasis generally responds marvelously to kukui nut oil--include severe cases due to agent orange exposure. We start eczema care with a switching to an all natural soap--one that has worked excellently for my clients is unscented Baby's First Soap from MoonDanceSoaps.com. Also my friend's castille soap, but she doesn't have her store online yet. Eczema is generally allergy/asthma related so I would advise NOT starting with an infused oil...just a plain high-quality nourishing oil. Avocado is supposed to be helpful, but do not use if there is a latex allergy.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Diagnosis is out of my scope of practice. My involvement has been in terms of clients coming to me with the issue already labeled. My apologies for not being a more definitive reference. *grin* Jessica, NC Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry® Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Probably common dermatitis, the most often diagnosed malady with those symptoms. Typically caused by a fungus. A proper diagnosis is what is needed first. Putting oils, herbs or EOs on an unknown condition may make it worse.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hi Alison, First you need to find out for sure if it is eczema or psorisis. See your doctor. Then you may have to do more foot work yourself. Both conditions can be caused by underlying health issues that include allergies to foods, contact dermatitis, infections bacterial or fungal and the list goes on. Sometimes using the right combination of a fixed oil with an essential MAY help but you may need to find out what is triggering the skin to react this way and avoid or eliminate the cause. My husband had terrible eczema 7 years ago. Head to toe. Couldn't sleep couldn't eat, was scratching himself raw. Went to the Doctor, she prescribed some lotion and some Prednisone. He got WORSE!! Why? Well, a few days later my hubby discovered after he ate some nuts he started to itch. Called the Dr and she said 'Hmmm might be food allergies " He got tested for food allergies. CORN was a big culprit. Corn was in the Prednisone tablets! Uggh! Eliminated corn and the other food offenders and in less than a month the eczema cleared up and as long as he stays away from the offender - namely corn and all it's bizillon by products he is fine. Also he has to get ample sunlight or fake sun at the tanning booth in the winter months here in Minnesota, and his skin is free from eczema lesions. So you can try some oils but eliminating the cause of the trigger for both conditions will give you more lasting relief. I make a special cream for him to use when he does get into something that causes a flareup. It helps sooth it and heal it more quickly. But it won't stop the reaction to the corn, it just helps heal the skin after the damage has occured. Hope this helps a little. Penny Your One Stop Aromatherapy Shop!

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Alison, here's a website with some very good definitions and pictures . . . It is a non-commercial site, and they also have a section on tea tree oil . .. . With standard precautions, but a long list of eo's that blend well with tea tree and no cautions or dilution ratios. The disease/symptom pages and pictures are very good, however. http://www.skintreat.net/education.html Be Well, Marcia Elston, Samara Botane/Nature Intelligence http://www.wingedseed.com http://www.wingedseed.blogspot.com http://www.aromaconnection.org " We make a living by what we get.
