Anyone who has experienced eczema will admit that it is one of the most uncomfortable experiences. It comes with itching, discoloration and reddening, among other conditions. Some may escalate to form blisters. Natural treatment for eczema is the best option since it shields you from damaging side effects. What home remedies can you use and how are they prepared?

Coconut oil is the most straight forward option for this skin condition. This oil sinks into the skin and in the process reverses the deficiency that causes most of these skin conditions. Coconut oil is made of lipids which are better for your skin than ordinary oils. The oil is applied directly on a skin that is moist using ordinary water. This oil should be left on the surface for the entire day.

The extremity of skin conditions depends on each individual. Jojoba oil has proven effective on a range of skin types because its molecular composition include bee wax. Other oils are bonded by artificial or synthetic elements. The presence of alcohol in jojoba does not lead to a dry skin. The best way to use jojoba is by massaging the surface to push it deeper. Application thrice a day produces excellent results.

Butter is used alongside other oils. Butter has excellent healing properties that reduces inflammation, softens the skin and repairing it. Butter is thickened using bee wax which plays a double role of protecting the skin. Butter is prepared by melting in a bowl in readiness for application. During melting, you are allowed to use aromatic oils.

Vegetable glycerin is an excellent option for persons who are not friendly to oils. This glycerin based on vegetable and thus considered the most pure form to use. It works by restoring moisture on the affected area thus eliminating the itching effect. It pulls water from the inner skin, making it admirably soft and moist. They are mixed in the ratio of one to one, but you can alter this ratio to suit personal preference.

Developing a long term plan for your skin is important. It requires you to develop a catalogue of the foods you take and elements that come into contact with your skin. Some of the substances that may cause irritation include medicines, soaps and detergents. The catalogue helps you to identify a pattern of irritation or itching. You will eliminate the irritants and allergens which provides comfort.

The solution to itching does not have to involve complex concoctions. There is an old way of treating skin conditions that involves using soaked oats. Application of oats leaves the skin soothed and moist. The choice of oats is because of its anti-inflammation properties. The oats are soaked for 10-15 minutes before being applied.

Honey is an all time skin healer. It works perfectly on broken skin by providing healing properties. It also has anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory elements. Since honey is sticky, it can only be applied on selective places. Honey is applied, allowed to breath for a while before being cleaned off. Two or three applications in a day are sufficient.
