Eczema problems, Allergy & Rashes...Solutions...

[veraclari]

Personally,


I started getting sensitive skin after confinement for some strange reason... (and it is not even my first or second confinements!) anyway.. then read that some of the shower gels etc we get here has harsh chemicals, so I started using organic products for my baby and myself and it really helped! I even got down to using baby shampoo! Gaia, California baby etc. I recently got Nature organics fr Iherb and I like that it is not as squeaky dry to my hair and skin compared to California baby.

and it is just a fraction of the price. i bought fr http://www.iherb.com can use Discount code (just key under referral code 'JTM172' in your cart) - JTM172
and get $10 off $40 worth of purchases or $5 off below $40 purchases plus free shipping depending on weight...

so anyway, maybe it is the products content? no harm trying some organics stuff.. I am a convert now heehee

Blessed Homemaker:

I have eczema and when it flares up, it is coupled with urticaria (hives). My eczema is not localised but all over the body, very similar to chicken pox.


My dermatologist prescribed steriod cream and Aqueous moisturiser ($3/tube 100ml) but only works if it's a mild eczema. They don't seem to help if there is a flare-up.

My gf introduced me to Physiogel AI cream. It is effective but very expensive @ $37 for a 50ml tube. My son has eczema on his hands and feet too and I'm also using the AI cream on him.

Does anyone here has a good recommendation of moisturising cream that works for eczema but doesn't cost a bomb?

Hi

Eczema is a very common skin problem in many people, young and old. Most of us suffer from this skin condition to varying degrees. For me and my DD1, we will get some form of eczema from time to time especially when the weather is hot.

However, my MIL has a fantastic remedy to cure eczema. It is actually a herb coming from a plant she grows in her garden! I don't know the botanical name of the plant but it has saved many many many people from their agonies and sufferings over eczema.

My mil first came to know about the full benefits of this plant when she was watering the plant (which grows to the height of a man) in her garden and a taxi driver happened to pass by. He told my mil that the plant is a herb that cures skin diseases and is very previous cuz it is hardly found in Singapore. That set my mil thinking as her 3 year old granddaughter had been battling against chronic eczema since birth and all western medicine from skin specialists/KK hospitals and TCM remedies and acupuncture did not help at all. She decided to use the herb on her granddaughter. She collected the leaves of the plant and dried them under the sun for a few days or so. Then she boiled a handful of the dried leaves in water for 15 mins before bathing the toddler in it. The first bath already showed significant improvement. The red angry patches toned down in colour and became drier and less blotchy. the itch was also reduced much to my mil and sil's delight. My mil n sil continued bathing the kid everyday for a week. Lo and behold, my little niece looked like a changed person! Her rashes and eczema were totally gone and her skin looks as good as new. What a great blessing! I decided to try the herbs for myself when my skin started to itch and indeed, it worked wondrously. My skin was back to normal in a day or two. No more expensive consultations and useless steroid creams etc..to pay for!

So far, many people that we know have high praises for the herb, even for diabetic patients who have bad skin conditions due to their diabetes. My DC's classmates also benefitted from the use of this wonderful herb. They too have been battling eczema all their lives and often come to school with their arms and legs looking red and sometimes bloody due to over scratching.

I'm glad my mil grows this wondrous herb in her garden and it is indispensable whenever everyone in the household has some form of skin irritations. I guess this herb is a God send and worth than any weight of gold.

Thanks for sharing. But it's hard to tell what plant it is just from the pics. Do you have the name of the herb? Need not be the botanical name. What do your family members or the taxi driver call it?

Sat Straits Times have this column on gardening and I think there is contact email for some botanist. Maybe can send pic to them to id the plant.

My sister has problem of eczema. Applying Virgin Coconut Oil on the skin helps.

Its supposed to contain Caprylic Acid which is readily absorbed.

I have also used for my DD who has eczema on & off.
