I would suggest you read some of the posts we have in the archives about coconut
oil. It is a wonderful healer for the skin and allows the skin to breathe and
function as an organ. You can save yourself a lot of money buying Aveeno and
just use oat flour in the bath. You can grind it yourself from oatmeal or buy it
by the bag. This is a true oatmeal bath without all the harmful added
ingredients. It won’t clog your drains as long as you use the flour and not
oatmeal and rinse the tub with plenty of water afterwards. Whenever I take a
bath with some added botanicals or clay, I always rinse hot water down the drain
for 5 or 10 minutes and then use an enzymatic drain opener (environmentally
friendly and effective) to make sure there is no residue in the drain. I have
old pipes prone to running slow and clogging with hair and have never had a
problem with these baths.
Both eczema and psoriasis need to be addressed from the inside out. Group, you
will be happy to know I have finished the long awaited wellness protocol, and
the natural skin care program is already available. I will post it in a little
while.
Let me know if you have any questions.

My 8-year old son has just developed eczema. He has not been to a
dermatologist but our pediatrician diagnosed this. In September he
was tested for allergies and came up extremely high for ragweed,
grass, mold, chocolate and peanut butter. He also started allergy
shots in September. He has just now stopped the sniffling and
snorting that intially sent us to the doctor’s in the first place.
I have wondered if the allergy shots have "triggered" the eczema.
Could this be possible? I guess I assumed you were either born with
eczema or it was something developed early on in life. His first
outbreak was in December. It is mostly around his wrists and in
between fingers. Also on his thighs and chest.
We have been using Aveeno lotion and an occasionaly Aveeno bath. My
youngest son is Autistic so we already do all the "natural, no
fragrance" thing in detergents, soaps, etc.
What else can I do and what lotions do you recommend along with any
supplements/vitamins.
Thanks for your help.
