Learning 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.

There are some eczema infections that only affect the scalp. For this reason, there will not be need to bath the whole body with tea tree. In this case, it will be added to the hair shampoo that is normally used for the infant. It is best if the shampoo is fragrance free. The person washing the child is required to soak their head with the shampoo for a few minutes to give time for it to work.

After cleaning the baby, the caregiver should dry them a little bit just to remove the excess water but make sure the baby is not too dry. After that, witch hazel can be applied mainly to the inflamed areas which are likely to be red. Witch hazel is however known to be very strong and hence it should be diluted fifty to fifty with some water.

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.

If the baby is feeling itchy, Aloe Vera can be a good remedy for this feeling. It must be applied in the itchy areas. The above steps should be repeated every day. The results can start showing after around a week. Above all, all the reagents that cause this reaction should be eliminated to prevent this from ever happening again.

Once a baby has been infected, very few things can be done to stop it entirely. The strategies mentioned above are just ways that will help to diminish the effects of the reactions. Some infants have the illness reduced with time as they get older. Controlling the condition is however easier for infants than grown children since it is hard to monitor what a child eats when they are out playing.

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.
