I've been oil pulling two to three times a day for about 2 months using 1 tbsp of organic cold pressed sesame seed oil to help relieve or cure a bad case of eczema I've had most of my life, and besides softer skin around the nose and neck, and whiter eyes and increased energy after the first week or so, I haven't noticed a marked improvment to speak of. Like I said, my neck is definately softer, and it seems that if I rub or scratch it at night or during the day there isn't as much damage to it from the scratching. I basically have it all over my body most of the time, and I'm wondering if anybody else on here has had any success clearing up there eczema with oil pulling. I going to keep it up, because I still think I feel better than before I started it. Any information on clearing up this terrible disease would be appreciated.

I'll post any improvements in the coming weeks. Oh, my teeth do seem to be whiter (a little), but my eyes are not as white as when I started pulling in the beginning. I've got bad dry eyes, so I use an over the counter eye drop for that, but that will only do so much. My skin is the main concern. I'm curious to see when it start getting colder if my skin isn't as dry as it usually is because of the eczema.I post more in the coming weeks. Good luck to all.

Hi Harold, Eczema is caused by something you are ingesting and your body is rejecting. I suffered from severe eczema for years....actually from birth. Today, I am totally cured. I discovered I was severely allergic to milk. As soon as I stopped drinking milk or eating anything that contains milk products, my eczema cleared up completely.

Please try it and let me know.

For Harold. Castor Oil usually will clear this up. It will stain everything it touches but you can rub it in the affected areas and sleep with it on. Just lay on an old sheet or towel. It works on people and animals.

Emu oil smoothed onto eczema is very soothing and helpful. Also it is water soluble, easily absorbed and doesn't stain.

Harold, several months have passed since you posted about your experience with Oil Pulling for Eczema, so you may have discovered this remedy already. Have you tried Organic Coconut Oil?

I had a very bad case on my arms (I'd never had it there before) for several months. Several months before, I had searched the internet for home remedies for Eczema, hoping to find a treatment for my back. Coconut Oil was a recurring theme, but I really didn't expect it to help me. Finally, after my arms got really bad, in desperation I went to my local health food store to buy it. I bought it on a Monday (this was about 3 years ago), and ate a tablespoon of it that night. On Tuesday I ate three tablespoons. On Wednesday evening, it occurred to me that it might work even better if I put it on the affected areas, too. By Saturday, all of the eczema was gone. Really.

I still have eczema on my back, because I don't usually make the time to reach it well. And I'm inconsistent in my intake. I've lived with eczema nearly all my life, so I'm used to it, and my skin is scarred in several places because of it. But, whenever I get really sick of it, I know I can depend on Coconut Oil's healing powers.
