Eczema is a chronic skin condition also known as atopic eczema. Eczema is characterized by itchy bumps or skin rashes that may weep and crust over. Eczema can be a nightmare to anyone who has this type of skin disease most especially if he or she doesn't know how to treat it.

In this article my goal is to share some natural remedies to treat this type of skin disease. Anyone can have eczema, definitely there are no exemptions. It is a common problem among babies and children, but it can also affect adults. Symptoms include thick, scaly skin, which may crack when the weather is cold. In children, eczema often occurs on the face, head, neck and limbs and may become worse when commonly used soaps, shampoos and other personal care products are used on the skin. This is because these products often contain synthetic chemicals, which can irritate the sensitive skin of anyone who has eczema.

There are over the counter drugs that can be used topically for eczema but many of these come with harmful side effects and, in many cases, are only partially effective. Essential oils can help people with eczema because they gently moisturize the skin. Choose only the best natural essential oils that are not adulterated with synthetic chemicals. The best oils to use in treating eczema include rose, chamomile, lavender, tea tree oil, rosemary and juniper. I hope this article informs and helps those who suffer from eczema. And for the readers who are not sufferers, I hope this post can still help at least for information and health purposes. Thank you for reading.
