eczema treatment - chamomile and milk?

[oxocube]

my friend is an aromatherapist and has just recommended I try chamomile essential oil in milk for my ever-worstening eczema. Has anyone heard of/tried this? My arms are so sore and itchy that I've made them bleed with scratching. Have also just bought some Bepanthen cream which another friend recommended as it worked a treat on her eczema. TIA

i wouldn't rule it out. although i don't have eczema i have just started using organic body products as it seems to make more sense than continuing to apply a lot of artificial chemicals on skin everyday.

having given eco household cleaning products a go and seen the difference they make, it seemed to be a natural step to do the same with my beauty products.

i often wonder how many allergies and skin conditions are exacerbated by all tha chemicals we use. at least camomile and milk won,t make it any worse!
