Eczema Helper, Homemade Cream with Essential Oils
Today I just wanted to post briefly on this homemade cream I make for my daughter's eczema.
Eczema is like one of those elusive, mysterious things that is hard to pinpoint the cause and there are a ridiculous amount of remedies out there. So with that in mind, we're not going to talk causes or even remedies, just offering what has helped keep my daughter's eczema from getting out of control.
---Ingredients and the "why"---- There's really not exact recipe to follow and depending on the need add more or less of an Essential Oil as you see fit.
