Blessed and forever thankful for holistic approaches and practices!!
Eczema isn't new to our family. Coconut oil is our lifesaver! Along with clean eating foods & taking the right nutritions.
My husband had severe dry skin, eczema. He have had this for years, years, even way before we started dating. He MUST have moisturizing lotion on daily basis- at home, at work, anywhere we go. Even worse, he must have it applied on his body right after swimming or showering. He would change many various of lotions, like he would used Eucerin, then switch to Aveeno, to Curel, to shea butter, to coconut oil.
He finally found his solution - coconut oil. He no longer needs any moisturizing lotions or needing anything to apply after swimming or showering.
Our oldest daughter was born, developed with eczema. We weren't using our brains that time to research holistic approaches/practices. We had our daughter's pediatric doctor to prescribe her medication creme for her eczema. I remembered it took days, days and days for her eczema to go away. As she gets older her eczema isn't severe, again coconut oil is her moisturizing lotion.
Our two boys didn't have any eczemas as their father and oldest sister. Until our last, fourth blessing was born, she had same case as her father/my husband. We took her to our children's pediatric doctor. We were given several different medication cremes, even the last one was steroids. Nothing works. It even made worse on her. She wasn't sleeping well, skins irritating her all day. She is a HUGE water lover, loves to swim, etc. Unfortunately swimming made her skin worse, itchy and red. We wouldn't be able to give her baths regularly, she would bath once a week. I hated to see the pains and sufferings she had. I got to the point where I have had enough. I then decided to take action and RESEARCH.
We also went through new changes with our eating habits by eating healthier, eliminating food triggers and others. Eliminating wheat, eggs and dairy from our diet helped and improved. A while later, I researched holistic approaches/practices and immediately like what I was seeing and hearing.
I called and scheduled our first holistic doctor appointment. We were impressed with our holistic doctor, the time she spent with us for appointment and how serious she takes on her patient & explain depth throughout with you. We explained what our lifestyle is like, and what we have done. She listened carefully, taking notes then explained options for us with our daughter's eczema.
Paid our visit and the holistic medications & supplies for eczema treatment for our daughter. Pricey, yes but there's no prices on health! We were excited and put our hope and faith in that this will work.
We started our first journey with holistic approaches/practices. Our Day 1 was June 3, 2013. We did before/after and the progress of treatments we did for her eczema to Day 30 on July 3, 2013. Huge, huge difference.
All we did was castor oil treatment, multivitamins, flaxseed oil, eat clean foods (eliminated more) and using coconut oil as moisturizing lotions.
We'd like share our treatments that may benefit others.
We brought kids' chewable vitamins that are vegan friendly, tooth friendly, no artificial sweeteners/flavors, no fructose nor sucrose. The best purchase we invested for our kids, especially our daughter with eczema. Children's chewable multivitamins was to help replete vitamins that may be deficient (especially vitamin A, vitamin E, and zinc.) We ordered bulks of them through Amazon. If you are prime member of Amazon, this is worth your investment in your children's health!
This is our daughter's recommendation list. We did everything except HMF Natogen as it's not vegan friendly (our holistic dr stated without it can be effective however with HMF Natogen is highly effective.)
