I was wondering if anyone has any self help treatment for Eczema.I have it all on my lower face and it is severe. I have tried all over the counter meds and also what my Dr. has prescribed but NOTHING has worked and I am in sooo much pain with this it makes me feel like I am so hideous. I don't go outside anymore due to this condition. My face is always bumpy, red and scabbed up.SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

I would be very interested in what response you get as I also have eczema but on my hands foot and shins.

I make up a cream of base cream, drops of tea tree oil, and drops of lavendar oil. But I need more accurate quantities of the oils and I think I need to change my base cream to a more natural one.

The one I use is not 100% free of bad stuff. It is Aquas Cream the white base cream that is used apparently in 90% of most creams.

My cream does certainly help me but as I said I do not have the mix 100% correct.

I hope someone sees this more for you luvmeeh but also for my cream.

A friend of mine has eczema and she uses a medicine called beta.  I’m really sorry for you …..Don’t worry your itching problem as well as inflammation will cease with this medicine.  But before using it I will advise you to ask your doctor or a pharmacist about it….perhaps you are allergy to it.

   The following therapeutics are taken from the Illustrated guide to Homoeopathic Treatment.  It's an excellent book using the therapeutic approach. This approach allows us to zoom in on a few remedies that may be useful but the selection of the one that works has to be carefully evaluated.

   As for the skin condition I have seen how some homoeopathic masters had used home-made cream to help the effects of the internal remedy. For example if a person is taking Sulphur 200C and to help the skin work a bit better Sulphur 6C or 6X is used externally in the form of a cream. The cream can be made with paraffin wax or one of those acqueous base cream. Just drop a few drops of sulphur 6x together with calendula. Calendula is great for the skin. Some homeopaths frown on anything external but the external sulphur 6x is only helping the internal sulphur 200C. If one is taking phosphorus then use phosphorus at 6C etc.   Virgin coconut oil is also an excellent base but it could be expensive.
