Tee Tree Oil; Natural Relief from Eczema



Eczema is a skin condition that is most common with newborns, but adults suffer from it as well.  It is still uncertain what causes this inflammation of the skin that leaves the skin in a rash like state, causing severe itching.  Its appearance is mainly a redness color, with outbreaks of lesions that can become encrusted and scaly.

If you or your child suffer from eczema, and have been prescribed a medicated cream to relieve the symptoms but are just not comfortable about applying steroid creams and synthetic chemicals on your child, and or yourself, see if your doctor would recommend trying a natural treatment such as Tea Tree oil.

We have had several customers comment that by just using a goat’s milk lotion with Tee Tree oil had relieved them from eczema symptoms.  The amount of Tee Tree oil in these lotions is very small; however you should still consult your doctor for treating eczema with Tee Tree oil, for it is known to have some side effects.  Some may be allergic to the cineole in the oil, and it has been recommended not to use Tee Tree oil while breast feeding or if you are pregnant.  Just because something is natural does not mean that it is free from all side effects.  We are all unique and our bodies react differently, which it is why it is always wise to consult with your physician before trying any new method of treatment.
