flaxseed is powerful in fighting eczema.

Supposedly eczema comes from a lack of fatty acids and Omega 3 oils in the diet. You can use th oil or grind your own seeds and eat fresh. I like to mix mine with oatmeal.

You need to use it consistently though. Can’t stop once it clears

I have an annual deductible that I never meet. My doctor charges $80 for a basic visit, even just to have a medication renewed. I don’t feel that a 1 inch eczema spot is worth this expense to me.
