How to Treat Eczema With Kelp

Eczema can be treated a number of ways, many of which are natural treatments. Experiment with treating your eczema with kelp.

Things You'll Need

• Kelp supplement
• Kelp bath treatments

Instructions

1. Take one kelp supplement a day with food, which will help lower acid levels inside the body. Less acidity can mean less potent eczema flare-ups. You can purchase a kelp supplement in a health food store.

2. Soak as needed in a bath with kelp. Soaking in kelp helps to heal the skin. Kelp bath treatments can be purchased in a health food or beauty store.

3. Consult with your doctor before you take a kelp supplement, especially if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Kelp contains iodine. Also, avoid too many other foods containing iodine while taking kelp. Some foods that contain iodine include: margarine, egg yolks, dried fruit, some canned vegetables, chocolate and molasses.
