Do we know any alternative / holistic treatments that may help a baby with eczema?
I studied at school holistic health and how to help an adult with dietary changes, supplements and stress reduction. I am not sure how to search information on holistic health for infants. Is it safe to give baby a probiotic?
Here is an extract of master herbalist Dr. John Christopher, who worked for decades with real people in his clinic's website says "3. Newborn Cured of Eczema: During one of Dr. Christopher's lectures, a woman brought a bundle to the front a little baby all wrapped up. She unwrapped the package, and as she did, eczema scalings flew around dusted Dr. Christopher's attire. The baby was simply covered with eczema, he describes as horrible to see. The family had adopted the baby six months earlier, and it was completely covered with the scale, obviously from birth. The family had employed their usual doctor, a pediatrician and a skin specialist, but we could do something for the little patient. Dr. Christopher told the mother to fill a Bassinet with hot tea and chickweed to bathe the baby, pouring tea on her head that could not be submerged. The mother was also given Chickweed tea internally, in small quantities. Within just a matter of days, the baby began to improve, and after a week or two, the eczema disappeared completely, but the child had been with him so many months.
