Guest guest Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I don't know about natural, but we use cortizon 10 on our son.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 My son used to suffer terribly from eczema. We changed our laundry detergent, soap and lotions to Daisy Blue Naturals. We also use the dryer balls instead of dryer sheets (those we get from www.gaiam.com). He hasn't had any breakouts in over 2 years! You can check out the products at www.daisybluenaturals.com The only problem is that you can only order online since they can't put their products in stores since they are all natural and the lotions will actually go bad after awhile since there aren't any chemicals to preserve them. Can you tell I used to sell the product? Now I just use it for my family since I am not cut out to be consultant.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Hemp oil, internally and externally, completely got rid of my son's eczema. We rubbed the hemp oil into his skin two or three times a day and mixed maybe a teaspoon total into two smoothies throughout the day. That was several months ago and it hasn't come back, even with the heater on in the house. Mary <jmkable wrote: My son's (2 years old) eczema has really gotten bad over the last couple days.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I think it's good to try to incorporate the omega-3 oils and take probiotics, but sometimes your skin will still get itchy if you are prone to eczema. I use a product called Florasone. It's homeopathic and says it relieves itching, eczema, inflammation, and rashes. I have found that it works great for me. I apply it to my itchy spots when I get out of the shower and I have much less itching. I seem to get eczema (or itchy spots) where my underwear and bra hits my skin. Anyone else have that problem? A NAET Dr. thought I was allergic to elastic. Her treatment didn't seem to help because I still have issues with it several years later. What does help, is the cream above and attempting to follow an alkaline (very green) diet.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I really like the dryer balls. My mom got us some from one of the big box stores. But you can just use tennis balls instead, they work just as well. I have pretty sensitive skin, as does my son and we use Method laundry soap, the free and clear one. I don't like the chemical smells of that stuff. If I missed it hat much, I could always put in a home made 'dryer sheet' with essential oil on it along with the dryer balls. Oh, instead of a 'fabric softner' we use vinegar, it helps to wash out any detergent residue, and it washes out, doesn't leave any vinegar smell either. . When we used cloth diapers, the vinegar also seemed to help make the diapers more absorbant (I think same for our towels).

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Do you just pour in vinegar during the rinse cycle? How much do you use? That's a great idea!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 We hand up the clothes to dry inside the house. Saves on electricity -- and eliminates the need for a humidifier. Which may also help with dry skin. ~Paul Missie Ward wrote: > > > I really like the dryer balls. My mom got us some from one of the big box > stores.
