Healing Eczema

Millions of people suffer from eczema. Studies reveal children are the most common demographic affected with up to 20% of all children under the age of two suffering from this ailment. Unfortunately, typical treatments contain steroids and other harmful chemicals not safe for adults to use, much less to be applied on children. Topical steroids have many adverse side effects including thinning of the skin, increased chance of infection, stretch marks, and even glaucoma when used near the eyes. Aside from these issues is the fact that your body quickly builds a tolerance to steroid creams requiring the use of more frequent applications and stronger doses. At this point any attempt to cut down on the steroid application or stop altogether often causes eczema to become more severe.

Fortunately, there are natural alternatives to steroid creams. Our Soothing Calendula Salve is a potent, yet 100% natural, anti-inflammatory. It contains ancient medicinal herbs such as organic calendula and neem oil which dramatically relieve symptoms of eczema. Neem has been used for thousands of years in Egypt and India to cure various skin ailments and has been clinically shown to be just as effective as steroid creams in healing eczema. In addition to these curative ingredients, the Soothing Calendula Salve also contains African shea butter, olive oil and mango butter. These emollient ingredients combine with cold, expeller-pressed essential oils to provide deep, therapeutic moisture and a delicious scent.

These time-tested ingredients are used instead of cheap chemical substitutes because they are proven to work and are completely non-toxic. Nobody, especially children, should have steroids or any other chemicals applied to their skin on a daily basis.
