Topical Tumeric & Olive Oil and Internal Quercitin/Herbs for Eczema?

May 6, 2010

Juliette,

I have seen topical coconut oil eliminate chronic skin irritations/itching,

facilitate the healing of burns and bug bites, and even improve the appearance

of old scars. I have not recommended it for eczema per se, but that would be my

first suggestion. No special preparation is needed - in my experience, coconut

oil sold at the grocery store for cooking seems to be good enough. It is solid

at room temp but melts quickly on skin contact.

Topical Tumeric & Olive Oil and Internal Quercitin/Herbs for

Eczema?

" Chinese Herbal Medicine "

Thursday, May 6, 2010, 10:56 AM

Â

Hello,

Does anyone have experience using a compound of turmeric and olive oil, or

jojoba, or grapeseed or coconut oils- used topically to treat itchy, red

pediatric eczema? If so, how long did it take to have an effect? Does it

help with acute flare-ups or more in the long term?

The child, who is my son, is 2 years old, was born with eczema and food

allergies to cow's milk, eggs, all nuts, sesame and other seeds. I dx'd him

with the milk allergy whilst breast feeding because of the presence of

eczema and severe cradle cap, so I removed cow's milk dairy from my diet.

His eczema cleared up with in weeks and has not been a huge problem ever

since (we use oils on skin daily and avoid allergic foods). When he was 6

months old I have him tested for food allergies befoe I started solids. He

was breastfed for 15 months.

I do not feed him any allergic foods but 2 weeks ago he came into skin

contact with a large amount of whey protein powder, may have breathed some

in, and immediately broke out into hives, we administered Benedryl

internally, but ever since this incident he has had eczema. When he

scratches his back and behind, it raises into welted hives and becomes

extremely red and irritated. The skin does not ooze. Nothing but Bendryl

cream works to sooth it when it breaks out this badly (have tried fresh

Aloe, Calendula cream and gel, Aveeno, oatmeal baths, the works- in fact it

seems to get more irritated with these things) . I have heard of using sea

salt baths but, if it stings he will refuse/become averse from baths which

is not good for a 2 year old! LOL When he is older we can try this...

To keep in under control (before this incident and still now), we bath him

in oatmeal daily and have tried Aveeno & Mustela lotions, and use topical

oils -currently using jojoba (can you say expensive!!) , used to use coconut

but didn't seem to be moisturising enough or may have actually irritated him

(?) and I am thinking of trying grapeseed oil. I also give him Cod Liver Oil

and Quercitin internally (I think I should increase the dosage of the

Quercitin... Any ideas on that??).

We also give him this formula from ChildLife. We try to give it to him 1/2

teaspoon 2x daily but often he refuses it ( I think he doesn't like the

grape flavor. I can give the child bitter Chinese herbal tinctures and he

asks for more, but this no-no LOL)

Hi Juliette,

I have no direct experience with turmeric & olive oil, per se. But a good friend

of mine has a biracial daughter, now 16, who had eczema as a very young child.

This led my friend thru a search for natural treatment and she ultimately

developed a protocol that has worked wonderfully well. As a result of her

experience, she formulated a number of blended oils that she uses(in addition to

nutritional supplementation) and markets (though it is a small-scale company,

subject to the usual vicissitudes of the economy). She has a website with a very

informative page on eczema that you might find interesting. Seems like you

already have covered some of the bases, but I think you'd get some additional

tips from Nina's site.

Here's the link to the page that addresses eczema specifically:

http://www.softress.com/eczema_information.php

Hope it gives food for thought.

for treating eczema w/ essential oils the idea would be to subdue the wei

qi. you can make a 1-2% blend using calendula lotion; start w/ 1%; use 10

drops of lavender per 1oz. of lotion. or use 5 drops roman chamomile and 5

drops of lavender. violet could also be used, but it is very expensive. be

careful not to get any pure oils on the skin of the child since they can

burn.

good luck,

Wendy, Yes coconut oil is wonderful! We use it in his hair daily and we were

using it on his skin but lately I can't tell what he is reactive to, so I

switched to jojoba. I plan to try the organic coconut oil again. I actually was

given a recipe on how to make it at home, which I wish to try (grate it and boil

it with water for many, many hours). That is how they do it in the West Indies-

all babies in Trinadad are given homemade coconut oil when they are born- so

sweet!

Hi Ann, Our son is mixed too. Did you know that (do we know each other LOL)? I

checked out your friends site- it is very informative and there is even more on

there that I do with my son so it feels comforting! Plus I learned mor about

supplements - I was thinking of giving him borage oil so now I am convinced! I

will try her hair productson him-looks like I can pick them up in the area.

Be Well, Juliette

> I have no direct experience with turmeric & olive oil, per se. But a good

friend of mine has a biracial daughter, now 16, who had eczema as a very young

child. This led my friend thru a search for natural treatment and she ultimately

developed a protocol that has worked wonderfully well. As a result of her

experience, she formulated a number of blended oils that she uses(in addition to

nutritional supplementation) and markets (though it is a small-scale company,

subject to the usual vicissitudes of the economy). She has a website with a very

informative page on eczema that you might find interesting. Seems like you

already have covered some of the bases, but I think you'd get some additional

tips from Nina's site.
