Eczema

Can you tell me how to make/buy ingredients suitable for treating eczema? My Doctor prescribes a moisturiser but I was wondering if there was an oil I could add to improve things?

Without seeing your excema it is difficult to make a straight recommendation. Some people find just using almond oil helps the skin, as it is soothing as well as moisturising. Another frequent aid is to add a few drops of Chamomile in the bath or blended with the almond oil as a moisturiser. However, the best solution is to find skin products containing St Johns Wort Oil. Whichever route you decide to take, if you are treating excema it is vital to use only the freshest purest oils and spot test carefully.
