Herbs and herbal treatments have long been a mainstay of alternative medicine for various conditions that work very week. Eczema is no exception as there are a great many herbal remedies that can be quite helpful for eczema pain relief and reducing all other symptoms of eczema as well.
This is not a be all, end all, to the problem though as eczema is more than a skin condition. It is an immune disorder at the heart of the matter and so this should only be taken as one part of your eczema healing activities. (we will cover more about the immune system problems later!)
- Aloe Vera – This is something you may have heard of - and for good reason! Aloe Vera has properties that sooth the skin reducing irritation and pain. It also has been shown to revitalise skin as well!
- Gotu Kola – Often used for cases of psoriasis, this herb is known to reduce itching and redness of the skin.
- Olive Leaf - Infections are very common with eczema so being able to stop them and stave them off completely will help you recover faster. Olive Leaf contains a powerful antiseptic which can be used topically to stop infections before they happen!
- Red Clover – Has been shown to alleviate skin conditions, but it more commonly used as an antioxidant to remove toxins.
- Burdock – This herb is good for the destruction of inulin, which has been linked to eczema flare ups. You can make a tea to drink from this herb. It also has anti inflammatory properties as well!
- Neem – This will help to boost your immune system which can be lowered because of eczema, or might be lowered due to other sickness or stress that will in turn CAUSE eczema.
