Home Remedies for Eczema

1. Add 1 teaspoon camphor to 1 teaspoon sandalwood paste and apply on the affected areas.

2. Rub a nutmeg (hard aromatic seed of an East Indian tree) against a smooth stone slab with a little water and make a paste. Apply to affected area.

3. Coconut oil may be applied to the portions with eczema. Carrot juice and spinach juice in combination is highly beneficial for eczema. Drink plenty of water and take fruit juices like orange.

4. Ingredients:
Instant Tea (however strong you like it)
1 Tbsp. Vinegar
1 Tbsp. Honey (made in your area is best)

Mix together with water and drink all at once.

5. Its been reported that drinking tomato juice (not the cocktail) clears up the eczema in a matter of days. If you need to, add some pepper or your favorite spice to give the juice flavor.

6. Deficiency of vitamin B6 may also cause eczema. So increase your intake of vitamin B6.

7. Evening primrose oil can also help. It contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is what eczema sufferers need. Try skincare products with evening primrose oil, or get GLA through your diet by eating salmon two or three times a week or by eating flaxseeds (or taking flax oil capsules), which you can buy at the health food store. In a blender or clean coffee grinder, grind enough for two tablespoons a day and sprinkle on foods like cereal or potatoes. Both salmon and flaxseeds provide omega-3 fatty acids.

8. A serving of watercress every day is said to keep eczema at bay, along with a daily drink of parsley, spinach, celery, and wheat grass.

9. Go to your local herb shop and buy some pine tar soap.  Its really great for eczema.
