Do you hate eczema?
If you have ever had it, or do right now, then I feel your pain. At its worst, it can feel like you must encase yourself like a mummy to keep from scratching.
It is HORRIBLE, isn’t it?
You’ve probably tried all sorts of store bought lotions and then resorted to lotion recipes found online, all with varying degrees of success. Some likely worked better than others, and some probably didn’t work at all. The DIY information can be overwhelming; that’s why it took a long time to get this recipe for a homemade eczema lotion just right. Now it’s time to share!
Why did it take so long to figure out a good recipe, you ask?
Well, it wasn’t because the online recipes were bad, it was because each oil affects people differently. The lesson learned was that no lotion works for everyone and each person requires their own tweaks to make it effective.
So how does one provide an effective eczema recipe for the masses?
The answer is simple: You don’t!
No one can claim that their recipe is the ‘cure all’. So this article will not do that. Rather, it provides you with a basic recipe that you can modify to work for you. That’s one of the great things about switching from store-bought to homemade items.
The following will include different oils to use and why. This will give you the ability to mix and match for your specific issues.
