As to your eczema problem most washing soda compound if clearly labeled as sodium carbonate is quite safe, quite often in smaller dose. Sodium carbonate is nothing more than a precursor of sodium bicarbonate or baking soda. To make a sodium bicarbonate, all you do is add sodium carbonate to a carbonated water to get sodium carbonate. Hence sodium carbonate is a more alkaline form of baking soda. Therefore a small amount of sodium carbonate is helpful. To help eczema dry up and I have a record of eczema before. One involves the sticky gooey eczema skin condition. In this one a biofilm is created and is a bacterial form. A simple remedy is the application of magnesium hydroxide 5%, or in common market language is called Milk of Magnesia applied to the irritated skin area. This kills the virus or bacteria by alkalization, but it is also very soothing but drying, killing off the biofilms that took me months to find and it turns out to be a simple magnesium hydroxide solution.
The other cause of eczema is the virus condition, and simple remedy is the application of a colorless iodine, usually can be either a potassium iodide tablets dissolve in a small amount of water, or a sodium iodide, dissolved in a small amount of water. This we can apply or wipe clean using this solution in the area named.
However the most common cause is the irritants from microorganisms where alkalizing generally helps. Therefore the best carbicarb remedy there is is the carbicarb plus potassium bicarbonate, which seems to be my gold standard that is better than the original carbicarb as it won't upset the sensitive sodium: potassium balance. The remedy is rather simple: 1/8 teaspoon of sodium carbonate + 1/8 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate + 1/4 teaqspoon of potassium bicarbonate in 1 glass of water taken twice a day. This usually clears up the skin.
However in addition to that, a couple of more remedies seems to be helpful for a viral eczema, which is 600 mg of lysine taken 3 times a day, plus once or twice a week zinc. Most pregnant mothers that I have noticed are generally deficient in the two M's which is magnesium and manganese, so those can have a tendency to remove blocked calcium circulation which allowed the eczema to flourished from blocked circulation as magnesium is antagonistic to calcium. However to reduce excessive calcium the preferred magnesium form I like is either magnesium chloride or magnesium citrate. Sodium ascorbate vitamin C 1000 mg also helps in the circulation as well as normalizing the body's required Oxidation Reduction Potential to normal, further discouraging microorganism growth.
It should come as no surprise that I do check heavy metals and the ones that we do are the ones we think is ok, which is processed food, high in estrogen compounds in the form of bisphenol found in nearly all canned products and may worsen the skin condition too. Most washing soda compound sold in the market are generally has less heavy metals then processed foods because processed foods such as the use of pots and pans are also high in iron and nickel.
As a tip the addition of dechlorinator that is sold in aquarium shops clearly labeled as containing sodium thiosulfate. They tend to cause the skin to be clearer removing heavy metals. Drinking green tea once a day unsugared, no artificial sweetners will also remove free radicals of heavy metals as this chelates out heavy metals too.
The use of sodium carbonate can be applied to the face when washing the skin can also kill acid loving bacteria and virus too. Or you can also use a weaker form of sodium carbonate such as baking soda.
