Everyday we learn about more chemicals in products we use that are toxic to your body. These reduce our health, making our skin break out in eczema. Eyelid eczema can be one of the most difficult forms. Fortunately, every day we learn of amazing natural ways to help our skin heal like neem seed oil.
Found in Indian subcontinent, the Neem tree, or Azadirachta indica, is an evergreen. Its sends produce a vegetable based oil called Ayurvedic. Traditional Ayurvedic has been used for centuries to treat a wide variety of diseases. Its antibiotic, antiseptic, and parasiticide properties are often used to combat malaria, fever, and a wide variety of ailments.
In addition to the healing properties, neem seed oil also offers a lot of benefits to eczema sufferers. First, neem seed oil contains steroids. These steroids, much like those prescribed by doctors, will reduce the swelling related to eczema. However, this form of steroid is much safer and less toxic than the harsh artificial steroids you any buy.
Next, neem seed oil is also very rich in triglycerides. Triglycerides are a natural fatty acid. As you would assume, these fatty acids are a great emollient, or skin moisturizer. They can naturally soothe all types of eczema. They can prevent the dry, flaky skin from becoming more irritated and possibly infected. Furthermore, they increase the skin’s natural own barrier function that keeps out eczema causing particles like allergens.
If you have eczema on eyelids and the surrounding skin, you can use neem seed oil to help yourself heal. Every morning, apply a small amount of the oil to your affected skin. Rub it in thoroughly and it will soothe your wounds throughout the day. For a more intensive treatment, apply a very heavy amount to your affected skin. Moisten a cloth with warm water, placing it over your eyes while you lay down. Leave it on as long as possible. When you remove it, your skin will be intensely moisturized and your eyelids will be feeling better.
