Homemade Eczema Cream

Eczema resides inside the body, and the cure for eczema does not come from an external cream. For eczema to heal on the outside, the digestive tract must first be healed on the inside. However, healing the digestive tract can take a bit of time and what should you do in the meantime while the skin is itchy and inflamed? Homemade Eczema Cream to the rescue! Made with shea butter, coconut oil, lavender essential oil and tea tree essential oil, this cream contains healing properties to soothe that irritated skin and offer some relief.
DIY Homemade Eczema Cream

1/4 cup shea butter

1/4 cup coconut oil

15 drops lavender essential oil, therapeutic grade only.

5 drops tea tree essential oil, therapeutic grade only.

Directions:

Fill a saucepan halfway full with water. Heat the water over medium high heat (but do not boil). In a mason jar add the shea butter and the coconut oil. Place mason jar in the saucepan (like a makeshift double boiler) until the oils melt. Remove the mason jar and allow it to cool slightly on the counter before you add the essential oils. It’s okay if the oil is warm when you add the essential oils, but it should not be hot. Mix the essential oil into coconut/shea mixture and put the jar in the fridge to get firm. You can use the eczema cream at this point, but if you’d like more of a “whipped” body butter lotion then put the oil in a kitchen aid stand mixer and mix on high for several minutes until the eczema cream looks like whipped butter. You may have to scrape the sides of the mixer down a few times. Apply liberally to any affected area of the skin.
