Eczema Treatment Care

I have studied holistic health in school and know how to help an adult with dietary changes, supplements and stress reduction. I’m not sure how to look for info on holistic health for infants. Is is safe to give a baby probiotics?

Question by anastasia: Does any one know any alternative/holistic treatments that may help a baby that has eczema?

just use lotion it will go away.
and are you sure it is eczema if you aren’t a dermatologist and don’t like medicine doctors?

castor oil mixed with calendula extract seems like a good alternative, but I still trust doctors.

My 6 yr old son has been suffering from moderate to severe eczema since he was two. We have tried every known medicine and even allergy shots. Today we had a visit to Duke Med Center and they had nothing new to offer us. I would like to try some alternatives to traditional/western medicine. If anyone has any suggestions (books, websites, ect), advice or similar experinces, I would love to hear.
Thanks.
thanks for all the answers. we are exploring food allergies, using some new natural products and trying to live a healthy and as minimally as possible. i will put it to vote.
