Eczema - how to control

Eczema is one of the most irritating disorders of the skin and generally there is little that can be done to control it effectively. It is totally frustrating, especially for mothers of young children, to watch the uncrontrolable itching and red rash appear on their children, whilst that feeling of total hopelessness develops. Well off to the dermatologist and then to the chemist to get the expensive creams that he has prescribed. This all costs a fortune and generally does not really help.

Now wouldn't you be surprised that one of the best ways to control that rash has been sitting in your kitchen the whole time that you were feeling so helpless.

How I stumbled on to this was by pure chance but I have since been contacted by dermatologists to find the secret to my success.

I was the owner of a bath product company in South Africa. With the advent of the fizz ball , I formulated a fizz ball and soon became the largest producer of fizz balls in S.A , producing some 25000 fizz balls per day. I was also fortunate enough to have some of my own retail outlets as well as a network of some 300 retail outlets selling my fizz balls. Most of the owners of these retail outlets became good friends of mine, and so I was able to get constant feedback from them of what was happening in the market place.

First I received a report or two that some customers had reported that since their children had started using the fizz balls, their exzema had come under control. As time went on, this same report started to come back continuosly.

Hence I started to investigate and came back with some astounding results:-

First I found that most of the exzema sufferers seemed to have increased aggravation after bathing or showering. This led me to believe that something in the water or soaps used were the cause of the aggravation. I further found that not all my varieties of fizz balls were effective. This also meant that some of the fragrances in the fizz balls also aggravated the condition.

This left me with a range of three items that could cause the irritation. Namely water, bath additives like foam bath , and Fragrances which are in most bath products and soaps.

My eventual conclusion was that the prime cause was in fact the water. Now remember the expensive creams that the doctor prescribed. You generally put them on after a bath. At this stage the skin is still saturated with the bath water that it absorbed into the skin and therefore all the cream is actually doing is sealing the irritant into the skin. No wonder that it did not help.

Now why did the addition of bath fizz balls help control the condition. Well the truth is that 3 of the ingredients are water and skin conditioners and as a fizz ball is placed into the bath generally before you get in to the water or very shortly after you have got into the water , the water is effectively treated before it is absorbed into the skin and as such is of no irritation to the skin.

Before I reveal the names of the 3 addittives i need to inform you that i no longer produce fizz balls and can not guarantee you that any fizz ball will help your condition. If you do suffer , it is also wise to avoid most bath additives, especially foam bath, and to choose only the purest and preferrably unfragranced soaps.

Now , for FREE , my secret recipe. First add one tablespoon of baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate). Next add half tablespoon of corn starch (Corn Flour , Maizena). And now the final ingredient may not be in every kitchen but is readily available in most convenience stores or Chemists. Add half to one tablespoon of coconut oil and hopefully all your problems go away.

Please note that this is not a guaranteed formula and so I can not accept any responsibilty for any problems that arise. I can however say that i have only ever had success with this.

I wish you a clear and trouble free skin. If you do find this helpfull please leave a comment so others can come to trust this cure.

I have used some baking soda in tub when I had eczema and that was helpful. I used coconut oil directly on skin and internally and also think that was very important (as was flax seed oil). I never tried corn starch.

Great article.

Some things work together in harmony. This is one of those times that yes, baking soda will help, corn startch will help, and coconut oil will help, but a combination of the three does miracles.
