There is nothing worse than seeing your baby suffer from eczema. Eczema is an allergic reaction to the environment and / or food that causes inflammation, dryness and often seborrhea in the skin. I have noticed that it is preferable to treat this ailment with natural products rather than using steroid creams that are often harmful and normally ineffective.
Steps
Step 1. Bathe your baby in a baby tub with approximately eight drops of tea tree oil
Tea tree oil soothes and heals eczema. In addition, it prevents the appearance of infections.
Step 2. If your child has scalp eczema, add tea tree oil to the mild, unscented shampoo and wash their hair by letting it sit on the scalp for about ten minutes, then rinse thoroughly
Step 3. After drying the baby (not completely), apply witch hazel (a natural anti-inflammatory) only on the red and inflamed areas
It is advisable to dilute the witch hazel in water (50/50 ratio).
Step 4. Microwave a tablespoon of cold-pressed organic olive oil
Massage the baby's entire body with olive oil.
Step 5. Immediately after applying the warm olive oil, apply some organic shea butter all over your body
This will keep your baby's skin hydrated for much of the day.
Step 6. If your child feels itchy, it may help to apply aloe vera gel to the itchy areas several times a day
Step 7. Keep repeating the above steps
I have seen improvements in my baby within a week. Just remember that you need to eliminate the allergens that cause your baby's eczema in order to see a radical improvement. Good luck!
Advice
- It is essential to subject your baby to allergy tests (food and environmental). Once those allergens are eliminated, your baby's eczema could go away very quickly.
- Just dab your baby's skin after a bath. Her skin should be moist when you apply the moisturizer.
- Bathe your baby only once or twice a week to prevent the skin from drying out.
Warnings
- If tea tree oil, witch hazel and / or aloe vera cause an unwanted reaction, stop using them.
- Before using tea tree oil, witch hazel and aloe vera, consult your baby's pediatrician.
