Olive Oil Treatment for Eczema
November 2, 2009
Temptation to scratch one’s own body now and then because of itchy skin is a quite annoying and irritating condition. It is awkward to appear in front of friends and others, with rashes, red spots, swellings and sometimes even bleeding on face and other body parts.
Reports say that eczema affects approximately 15 million of US people and they have still not found proper medication that can cure this irritation permanently.
Failed Efforts
Being an allergic disease, eczema seems different from person to person. Type of clothes, certain foods, some harsh soaps and detergents and even some cosmetics and moisturizing creams, which contain chemicals that are harmful to some kind of skin types, have been found causing eczema. People, who sweat excessively, are more prone to the disease and mental strain plays a significant role in enhancing it.
Varieties of triggers and symptoms are the main reason for having no perfect solution for eczema. Some antibiotics and anti-infectants that are available in the market can do nothing special with the disease, other than leading to increased dosages and serious problems to the immune system and sometimes even side effects, such as asthma.
Olive oil treatment is of importance for eczema. It concentrates on the point, that a well-hydrated and moisturized skin can defend this disease very effectively.
Being natural oil, it is not safe for some people to use it directly, because it may result in some negative reactions. Creams and lotions made from olive oil or containing it can be availed from market.
However, they are also not completely trustworthy, because they might have other chemicals causing allergic reactions contained in them.
Prepare it yourself
The safe and effective way of olive oil treatment is to make a medicine yourself. You can prepare an olive oil lotion by diluting it with some water. Applying this lotion on the affected area, after having a bath in warm water, will help the oil to reach inside your skin more deeply.
You can also mix the olive oil with honey and prepare a real ointment for application on face, hands and legs, more effectively. You will be able to put on your gloves and socks, after applying the lotion.
Natural olive oil treatment has now become a widely accepted solution for eczema, as it proved to be capable of eliminating the itchiness, inflammation and redness of the skin largely, where the other medications failed.
