Simple Remedies to Treat Your Eczema
Constantly having to scratch your dry skin can make you feel more than uncomfortable, especially if you have red splotches all over your body.

Even though the winter months could cause your skin to act up, if you're experiencing uncomfortable dry skin more often than not, you may be suffering from eczema.

Eczema is a condition where your skin becomes inflamed and results in red rashes, chronic itching, and dry skin. According to the National Eczema Association, there are over seven types of eczema, and over 30 million Americans have this condition.

Even though your doctor can prescribe topical or oral medications, you may be looking for a more natural, non-drug treatment to ease your symptoms.

  • Coconut oil
  • Sea spray
  • Fermented cod liver oil
  • Magnesium baths
