Searching for Relief From Eczema

Posted by Mix (Gauteng South Africa) on 11/12/2025

Hi

My daughter in law is a very hypoallergenic and struggles with autoimmune diseases(asthma, eczema, itchy & mucus in the eyes) looking for some detox protocol or supplements that can really helps solve this long term. It has flared up at the moment with eczema on her elbow, wrist, back of neck and mucus in the eyes.

Thank you so much

Hi Mix,

Did you try the melatonin lotion your dad is using? I have had a report that it helps and studies suggest the same.

Hi Art

No I did not suggest it, should she just use it on the eczema? how many times a day?

Thanks so much

Mix, I would start with eliminating commercial detergents, and also if she uses those fabric softening sheets or liquids, they are just terrible in provoking a reaction. Stop those, or just add a bit of vinegar to rinses.

Switching to "free and clear" natural detergent made from plants will go a long way toward desensitization.

Also, commercial "soap bars" are not soap, they are detergents. Switching to real old fashioned soap will help too. Detergents damage the skin barrier.

Topical issues usually have a intestinal ediology. Many times you're dealing with Candida.

Hi Daniel, what would you suggest? Perhaps the Borax Candida protocol? How could she identify that it is Candida?

Thank you so much

Hi Vera, she does not use commercial soap. She had it under control but it has flared up.

Thank you

Hi Mix,

Twice a day to affected area applied sparingly.
