I agree with Vicks. Have you tried a vapouriser? I use one all through winter, but only add the menthol if needed.

I used fenugreek with success and noticed the difference if I forgot to take them (although they don't work for everyone). I didn't know about porridge, so will try to remember that one for next...

proud_mum_of_one replied to topic Eczema - what "soap" to use?

It is definitely not easy having a bub with eczema.... It is all trial and error unfortunately. I have found the best thing is the Alpha-keri 1,2,3 step regime. 1. Soap free wash 2. Oil - I ge...
