Eczema Grapefruit Seed Extract
I need baby eczema remedies STAT!?
I've tried triple cream, eucerin aquaphor, & every sensitive wash on the market & seems to be getting worse. I keep her in all cotton too. I have heard to try grapefruit seed extract, but haven't tried it yet. I'm open to any suggestions, as her Dr hasn't really been much help at all.
dr basically said theres nothing that really can be done & told me to give her baby Zyrtec @ night to help with her itching:(
Her pediatrician hasn't prescribed anything for it? My two year old has had eczema since he was about four months old, and his doctor prescribed him a topical cream that we apply whenever he has a flare-up. Maybe you could explain to your doctor that it's bothering your little one and ask him/her if they can prescribe something. If not, you might consider switching doctors if it's really bad.
Edit: I went and checked to see what the name of the stuff we use is. It's called Locoid and it's a hydrocortisone cream. I think you can buy hydrocortisone cream over the counter, but this one is a little stronger so it's a prescription only cream.
Make Flavanoids Part Of Your Daily Diet
Flavanoids are polyphonic compounds that have a huge impact on our health.
A flavanoid is a natural compound which helps protect our bodies against disease. They also provide vitamins and enzymes, so they are just packed full of nutritional benefits!
They are found in fruits, vegetables and beverages like tea, coffee, beer wine and fruit drinks.
Flavanoids are very beneficial for our health, as they have antiviral, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and contain antioxidant properties.
Flavonoids function in our body as antioxidants.
They neutralize oxygen-containing molecules called free radicals that cause severe harm and injury to the cells and tissues within the body, and increase the body's vulnerability to diseases. Flavanoids are a group of plant pigments that are extremely potent, and effective free radical destroyers. Free radicals are the primary cause for abnormal growth in the body.
In other words, a flavanoid helps protect our bodies against disease.
They contain nutritional benefits and also provide our bodies with vitamins and enzymes.
A few things that flavanoids do for you body..

apples
apricots
blueberries
pears
raspberries
strawberries
grapes
oranges
black beans
cabbage
onions

tomatoes
Just a word about moderation:
Dark chocolate maintains the highest level of flavanoids. When it comes to chocolate,think the same way as you do about fruits and vegetables: dark is better. Just remember, dark chocolate is a good chocolate. BUT, it's still a high calorie food that needs to be eaten in moderation. There is no serving size established in order to obtain the health benefits it offers so use some common sense and know yourself.As far as I'm concerned, I can't have one chocolate. If I have one, I will eat the entire box!
Grapefruit juice and green( contains exceptional amounts of flavanoids) or black tea, and also red wine have a high content of flavanoids. Red wine can reduce the chance of heart attack in middle aged people if women consume one glass per day and men consume two. Again, moderation is the key-1 glass = 4 ounces.
You can also get extra flavanoids into your diet by taking supplements like grape seed extract, green tea extract and vitamin capsules.
Flavanoids are a great preventative nutrient, best from fruits and veggies if you can but quality supplements are always an option.They fight inflammation and glue you together; they help all connective tissues in the body resist aging.
