Eczema is a chronic condition of dry, inflamed, red skin and we have been fighting this in our home since my son was 3 months old.
When my son was little we were asked by his pediatrician to use steroids on his face and body, while this worked for a short time my husband and I felt horrible about using strong medications on his face at such a young age.
We wanted to look into other avenues instead of using steroids and began our search on the internet.
We have had luck with a few natural baby products, however I’ve been looking more into options that help treat Eczema naturally with the use of Essential Oils.
To make a natural cream for treating Eczema, start with an unscented lotion and blend 20-25 drops of an essential oil to every 8 ounces of lotion.
A few of the essential oils that are helpful with treating Eczema are Chamomile, Tea Tree, Geranium, Clary Sage and there is a Lavender essential oil from LiveTru that I’m going to be trying.
Lavender is probably one of the most commonly used essential oil when treating Eczema due to its anti inflammatory, calming and anti bacterial properties. Also, there are extra added benefits to using Lavender as it is known to support your immune health and helps to alleviate stress.
Many of these oils offer different healing properties and can be blended together to create the perfect combination.
Have you tried treating your Eczema or your child’s Eczema with a naturally made remedy?
Love your blog!! the name is too cute and the graphic are quite eye catching! I just read this post about Excema. what has been your results from using those products for excema?
I personally have been using a brand of oils that I have been very happy with. I have been so happy with them that I now teach classes on them because they are so effective. If you want to compare oils, I can send you some samples. I personally used Lavender on burns. Since I cook a lot (i have 6 kids myself) I always seem to burn my thumbs or fingers. Just this last Sunday, got a steam burn from cooking a roast for Sunday dinner. Lavender took that sting away with one drop. Then one more drop a few hours later saved my skin from a blister or scar. Love my oils!! Look forward to reading more of your blog!
I have heard a lot about essential oils for different things. I plan to look into it further but this was an interest post. Sometimes I think God has cures closer to us than we know.

Essential oils are great! I like to blend them in Jojoba or factionated coconut oil as they don’t clog pores.
I never thought of lavender! I’ll have to try that. My daughter has dry, scaly skin all over… everywhere except the face. Lotions never improved her skin condition. Lately I’ve been slathering her with coconut oil every day, and it seems to be working a lot better than plain lotion, but adding lavender to the oil might be just the thing. :)
