[amber-rose]

i was wondering if anyone could help, my baby boy has eczema quite badly, it is thought that it is allergy related. he is due to go into hospital for some allergy tests. i have tried most things to help him does anyone know of anything that can help? he os almost 8 months

Amber rose, namaste.

i like your nick :)

well, on subject. what did help here was cajeput essential oil.. But as your boy is so young, you should mix it with some oil first, as essential oils are often far too agressive

lavender kills the itching of excems too.

Gems-stone wise: try a combination of peridot, amber, aventurine and aquamarine.

bets you make a gem-stone water from these stones, and softly wash the skin with it. do not rub! just pmamper ;)

as soon as youget a diagnoses, please post it here, then additional help is easier to give.

sometimes chamomilla, arnica are good helpers too. but hopefully boy is not allergic to them.

so i d wait now for the diagnoses before playing with fire, and go by gems ;)

Blessings, and healing energies sent your/his way

is wonderful...... and you can purchase it in a health food store or order it online .....
OTC Preparations I have used successfully on babies hospitalised with eczema include Eucerin.......which was the absolute best .....but as always check for allergies...... but the babies with really BAD eczema cleared in about two to three days with Eucerin..... it is thick ....and a bit pricey ... but effective......

Flaxseed oil works great topically as well as internally for eczema. For an older child, you can add the essential oils recommended but other than lavender, I would be careful of using them. You can get the flaxseed oil in health food stores. This oil tends to go rancid rather quickly so make sure the store has it refrigerated.

Thankyou for helping

My son went today to see his consultant. He said it is definately not just infantile eczema, gave him two different sorts of cream, something to put in his bath and medicine to try to controll the itching.
I was told that they do not want to do the allergy tests till his next appointment (march 1st) so on that point i'm no further on.
I would like to make the gem water though.

What are the creams and what is in them??? I am the CURIOUS NURSE ....... and did the consultant say what else the baby has???
I do try and keep up with the latest prescriptions...........
Again VERY glad he is ok.......
