Many people suffer from eczema on a daily basis and others have outbreaks that flare up at certain times. It is good to know that there are several, effective, natural eczema treatments to choose from. You can try one or all of these treatments to see what will work for your skin.

Eczema can be caused by different things in different people. Some of the more popular causes are from too much sun exposure; this can dry out your skin. Also, having good hygiene is important to having healthy skin. Keeping your skin hydrates is another very important component, as is the foods you take in daily.

One main defense between skin and allergens is an organic lotion. Before purchasing this lotion you will want to make sure it is hypoallergenic. Hypoallergenic means it is free of harmful chemicals. When this lotion is applied is it best to be applied when skin is damp. By applying to damp skin it will be absorbed at a much higher rate than if applied to dry skin.

Applying this type of lotion directly after a shower or bath is very important. It is very important because your skin is damp and better able to absorb the lotion. Several products on the market today have natural ingredients in them that are great for your skin and great to help reduce inflammation. Some of these ingredients are oatmeal, coco butter and Aloe Vera.

These supplements could include a variety of vitamins. Some of which are well known and have been proven to work. They can help to boost your skins ability to regenerate cells, increase natural oils in the skin and helps to reduce itching and keep skin calm and not irritated. These vitamins will also help to improve the overall health of skin.

Oatmeal is another great treatment option; baths, compresses or consumption all have great benefits for your skin. Oatmeal provides a protective barrier on the skin which helps to keep your skin lubricated and hydrated. Adding oatmeal to your diet will help your body inside and out. This very rich fiber product is an age old classic cure.

Comfrey root, white oak bark, slippery elm, blueberry leaves and licorice extract can also be used to soothe the irritation that eczema brings to the skin. Comfrey root is a good cleanser and has been used for centuries to help reduce inflammation and helps to regenerate skin. The white oak bark is rich in B12 and minerals like Zinc, this is used to help tone the skin and also reduce inflammation. The slippery elm also reduces inflammation and has a cleanser that helps kill germs and remove them from the skin. Blueberry leaves and licorice extract do much of the same and can be bought in a natural store as lotion or can be added to your regular lotion.
