Learn How To Treat Baby Eczema Naturally

By Ida Dorsey


Eczema is an allergic reaction to the environment and foods that mainly affects little children. The reaction causes the skin to become inflamed, dry and sometimes it may ooze. There is nothing as bad as seeing your child suffer from this allergy. Treating this reaction naturally is way better than the use of artificial creams that are applied on the skin. The following are some tips on how to treat baby eczema naturally.

Tea tree is one of the most common natural remedies for baby eczema. This is a good remedy because it eases the child from pain by reducing itchiness. It is usually used when bathing the kid by adding it in their bath water every day. By doing this, some infections will be prevented from happening to the skin of the child.

Sometimes the eczema only affects the head of the child. This means that it is only their scalp that will need to be treated. In such a case, the tea tree oil can be added to a bottle of fragrance-free shampoo that will be used to wash the hair of the baby. When doing this, the care giver is supposed to leave the shampoo on the hair for about five minutes before rinsing to give it time to heal the skin.

After the baby is clean, he is supposed to be dried but not completely dry. After this, the kid can be oiled with witch hazel which is a natural anti-inflammatory. The witch hazel can be applied mainly to the red and inflamed areas. However, this remedy is too strong for babies and therefore it must be diluted with pure water in a ratio of one to one.

The next thing to do in this natural remedy procedure is to massage the kid with organic olive oil. The oil should however be micro-waved to make it warm because it is going to be used on a baby. Immediately after the oil has been applied, raw sheer butter should be applied on their entire body. This will help their body stay moisturized throughout the day.

To ease itchiness just in case it is affecting the baby, Aloe Vera can be applied on their skin especially on the affected areas. All the mentioned things must be done every single day in the correct way and the results will show after one week. The most important thing however is to eliminate all things that trigger the reaction from the life of the infant.

Once this condition affects a baby, there is nothing one can do to entirely stop it. For this reason, the above techniques are just techniques to reduce the harm it causes. In some infants, it reduces as they grow older. Controlling this disease on infants is much easier than on older children because it will be easier to monitor what they eat during the day.

Research shows that eczema can be avoided. It has more chance to happen on children who are from a family with a history of this disease. For this reason, these parents should be more careful in protecting their children from things that might trigger the illness. They can also do this by controlling what they take during their pregnancy.
