Hi, Can anyway help please. I am wanting to make a cream for my son's eczema. I am wanting to make it up with simple ingregdients that help with itchying and dryness. It needs to have nothing that will sting and preferably as natural/organic as possible. Anyway help would be greatly appreciated, I am so tired of trying to buy one and would love to make it myself. Thank you for your time.

Hi there, hope this can help and I found this perscription fr a book named "Aromatherapy for your child".
Scratching makes the itch worse and cause infection. On of the best ways to reduce the irritation is to hv soothing baths.

*Vegetable oil bath; add 1 tablespoon plain veg. oil to a bath. It will float on the surface and moisten the child's skin when he comes out of the bath. Dont use anything with wheatgerm in it or any other oil produced from a grain. use 1 of these - almond oil, jojoba, grapeseed & sunflower seed oil.

*Anxiety-relieving bath; to the veg. oil used in the method as mentioned above, add 2 or 3 drops of either lavender or geranium oil.

Perhaps you can use hydosol + aloe vera gel (1:1). Regards/shirlene Shirlene

Hi Kylie, my daughter has had very bad excema and extremely dry skin for many years. I have purchased the plain body butter from this site, I add about 10 drops of Hemp oil, and the same of calendula to the 100ml jar. I have found this to be very moisturising, especially applied straight after shower or bath. I have not been able to use essential oils on my daughters skin at any strength. But I have found the Healing oils Hemp and Calendula have been really good.

Hope this helps.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Because I have never bought from this site either can you let me know which oils exactly to buy, as i was looking and there were several of the ones like calendula blue, ??? Sorry you can't half tell i am new to all this. I have been trialing Evening Primrose Oil capsules, peircing them and putting onto skin, it seems to be good so far, it does not sting him, although i am not sure if it does stop the itch. Also any idea's on natural forms of like anti-histamine??
Thank you all so much you are all wonderful
Kylie :)

Hi Kylie
The Calendula oil is avaiable thru this site. It is in the well being section under extacts and Healing. The Hemp seed oil is in the oil section under Vegatable , carrier section.
Hemp seed is high in Omega fatty acids. I have used evening primrose as you have which worked well, although it does not keep the skin moisterised very long. I have also tried vitamin E by piecing capsules, which also works well especially on the face. When my daughter has been extremely itchy, the only relief I have found to work is called a WET DRESSING. If your child is ever Hospitalised with excema this method is used, although they will be using cortizone treatments. At home I use the same method using natural ointments.
Start by having a warm Bath, not too hot with oil added. As my daughter is allergic to all nut products I usually use apricot kernal oil. as soon as out of the bath pat dry, leaving some moister on the skin. Apply some sort of ointment the thicker the better. The body butter is very good for this, or some sort of wax based ointment. Apply thickly. Put plastic down on bed or floor, A large garbage bag works well. Have two bath towels soaking in a bucket with oil and Warm water, wring out 1 towel so the towel is wet but not dripping. Lie towel down on plastic, lie child on wet towel, cover child with other towel which has been wrung out. Put another plastic cover over top, cover with a dry towel, tuck in around edges. I would then put the TV on or read a book to my child, you need them to be in this for at least 15minutes. When they come out their skin will be nice and moist and spongy. Re Apply thick ointment.
This method was the answer for very itchy skin. During very bad times I would do this twice a day.
If it is only a small area that is itchy you can use a small towel and wrap just one limb. At night time my daughter overheats, I always have a cool flannel at hand to cool the area down.

Hope this helps
