Stop Eczema Flares with Tea Tree Oil
I'm Ceci Jayo, a branding & graphic design expert. I'm constantly trying my best to live a healthy lifestyle and be less dependant on traditional medicinal remedies. In my free time, I love going to the beach, doing yoga, and going on hiking adventures. I used to live a hectic city life, living in New York City, but now I live in Miami Beach. I love feeling closer to nature and closer to the beach!
How It Works
Mix a few drops of tea tree oil into a tablespoon of coconut oil and apply to affected area.
If you have eczema, you know how frustrating it can be to get a surprise itchy patch during a flare-up. Although I don't have it, my 2-year old son does. I have tried EVERYTHING and really dislike using commercial eczema lotions due to their suspicious/dangerous/unethically sourced ingredients. So, during his last flare, I mixed tea tree oil into coconut oil and voila! His skin was back to normal by the next day. I will be using this method from now on!

Have you already tried eliminating sugar, yeast, bottled juices, etc. from his diet? (And adding lots of ginger and anti-inflammatory foods?) Might be able to eliminate the flares altogether that way.
Hi! It seems like he is struggling with environmental triggers. He only gets flares when he's been around animals or really dusty places. I will watch for food triggers and am totally on board with that, but he was fine until we went to see my parents in TN (they have a lot of animals!). Do you ever experience environmental triggers, or is it all diet for you?
Ah ha. Guess it's different for everyone :) For me it's mainly diet – but, not 100%! I'm allergic to cats and part of the reaction is eczema flaring up a little when I'm around them. Also more likely to have a flare up when my immune system is compromised (like during the onset of a cold) or when I'm beginning my period.
