Calendula, aloe vera and neem are some of the botanicals used to make herbal remedies for natural eczema treatment.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis) has anti-inflammatory properties which are useful for managing the inflammation of eczema.

A simple eczema cleanser with anti-inflammatory properties can be made by steeping 1 teaspoon of dried calendula flowers in two cups of boiling water for 20 minutes. After straining, the infusion can be used to clean the affected areas.

Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) is used to make herbal remedies for natural eczema treatment because it has anti-inflammatory properties. Its anti-pruritic properties are also useful for managing itching which is one of the main symptoms of eczema.

Aloe vera also has a high water content which is useful for moisturizing eczema prone skin which tends to be drier than normal skin.

A natural herbal remedy for treating eczema can be made by slicing open one leaf of an organic aloe vera plant, scooping out the gel with a spoon and using it as a moisturizer.

Neem (Azadirachta indica) is another botanical with natural anti-inflammatory properties that are useful for natural eczema treatment.

An eczema neem cleanser can be made by steeping half a cup of fresh neem leaves in two cups of boiling water for 20 minutes. The leaves should then be strained and the infusion used to cleanse the affected areas.
