10 Home Remedies For Eczema
Home Remedy #7: Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is a succulent plant that has been used for many years in folk or traditional medicine. It is often found in cosmetics, skin lotion, ointments, and beverages. Early records of aloe vera being used in traditional medicine have been found as far back as 1600 BC in the Ebers Papyrus. The gel can be extracted from the leaves of the plant.
A review from 2015 reported that aloe vera gel may have antimicrobial, antibacterial, wound healing, and immune system boosting properties. It is especially useful as a home remedy for individuals with eczema as it helps moisturize the skin and can prevent skin infections. Aloe vera gel can be acquired from stores. It can also be used directly from the leaves.
