Here are some herbs that help dry skin problems<\/p>\n
Evening Primrose<\/a>\u00a0(Oenothera biennis) Oil<\/strong><\/p>\n Evening primrose<\/a>\u00a0seed oil (EPO) is used primarily to relieve the itchiness associated with certain skin conditions, including\u00a0eczema<\/a>. Results of studies regarding EPO for\u00a0eczema<\/a>\u00a0are mixed. Similar to GLA an omega-6 fatty acid that is derived from EPO, whether EPO relieves the symptoms of\u00a0eczema<\/a>\u00a0may be very individual. Talk to your healthcare provider to decide if it is safe and worthwhile for you to try EPO for your eczema.<\/p>\n Lavender<\/a>\u00a0(Lavandula angustifolia)<\/strong><\/p>\n Known mainly for its relaxing effects to aid with anxiety and\u00a0insomnia<\/a>, some herbal specialists prescribe oral\u00a0lavender<\/a>\u00a0for skin conditions like eczema. In one study of topical\u00a0lavender<\/a>, however, children with eczema who received massage with or without lavender oil applied to the skin both did well..<\/p>\n In other words, the improvement in the rash was related to the massage – whether lavender oil was used or not seemed to make no difference. To the extent that eczema is worsened by stress, it is possible that lavender adds some benefit by helping you relax.<\/p>\n Others Herbs that have been used traditionally to treat eczema are listed below.
