Apples

My daughter had awful eczema on her face. I saw one reference to an ingredient called quercetin that I knew was supposed to be in apple skin. I buy organic apples and slice one up every morning for her breakfast. She only eats half an appple, but the eczema is now easily controllable with a little half percent cortisone. If she ate a whole apple, I feel like she would not need the cortisone at all. I'd like to get her to try the ACV, but know she'd hate the smell. Love this site...just found it!


Glycerine

Applied a solution of glycerine and water (equal portions) to 4 month old with eczema. Huge improvement in both inflammed areas and scaly spots within 48 hours. I had earlier tried other options including applying coconut oil, olive oil, flax seed oil and strong chammomile tea. I had also tried adding glycerine drops to the massage oil but that did not help. Diluting with water in approx 1:1 ratio, is important.
