Living with eczema is tough stuff (at least when it flares up). It's one of those skin disorders that can be irritating and incredibly painful, but it doesn't have to be that way all the time. As you know, there are many different treatments out there, but the problem with most medicines and creams is that they only treat the symptoms of eczema. That's right - They only treat the symptoms. So while you're itching and pain may temporarily subside when these creams and medicines are applied, it won't actually clear up your eczema!

What most people also don't realize is that some medicines and creams can actually make symptoms in some people even worse! Imagine having your eczema flare up, then when you apply medicine and expect relief, it takes an opposite turn and actually worsens! You'd be surprised to hear how many people this actually happens to.

So, what am I trying to say here? Try treating your eczema naturally! Have you ever considered doing so? The results might be more than what you would've expected from regular over the counter medicines or prescriptions creams from the doctor, not to mention that natural methods used to treat eczema are much cheaper and more effective.

Did you know that salt is actually an effective treatment for eczema? Not table salt, but epsom salts work great. While this isn't the exact "cure" for eczema, it definitely is a great treatment that will help relieve the symptoms of your eczema, which will bring relief to your skin, but in a more cost-effective way!
