Herbs for dermatitis

Many plants contain natural ingredients that are absorbed into damaged skin, normalize its structure, reducing any inflammatory manifestations. Solutions, decoctions, tinctures and infusions, extracts and ointments based on medicinal herbs have shown themselves very well. You can use them both in the form of monotherapy (one remedy), and in the form of a herbal collection, which can include 2-3 or more species of various plants.

Celandine for dermatitis is one of the first remedies. The most important thing when choosing a specific method of applying it to inflamed skin is to remember that it should not have any irritating effect. Otherwise, this will lead to an even greater aggravation of the condition, since celandine itself is a very active component. Therefore, there is no need to use bandages. It is remarkably absorbed even with normal short-term application, especially if the skin needs it. Surplus funds in such cases are simply not absorbed, forming a protective antimicrobial layer.

The diluted juice of this plant is mainly used. For this, celandine is crushed and juice is squeezed out of the resulting mass. Then it is necessary to dilute it with boiled water at a juice: water concentration - 1: 2. For the correct application of the prepared solution, it is better to use short-term (10-15 minutes) applications on gauze tampons. In the same way, you can use a decoction of celandine. When the activity of dermatitis decreases, honey can be added to the prepared mixture as a filler.

A series of dermatitis. They mainly prepare decoctions and infusions of the series, for which they use a tablespoon of dry crushed product in half a glass of water. The prepared proportions are simply poured with the required amount of boiling water and insisted until a dark brown solution is obtained. In the prepared concentrate, a gauze napkin is moistened and applied to the affected area in the form of a wet-drying bandage. The procedure can be carried out 3-4 times a day. The effect will not be long in coming.

Periwinkle. A year ago, one old grandmother's elbows and knees began to itch badly; She was constantly combing them. I went to the hospital, where the doctors answered that she had senile dermatitis. They prescribed various pills and said nothing more. She thought that it would be better for me to look for traditional methods of treatment in my notes.

She took one tablespoon of periwinkle leaves and brewed them with a glass of water, then simmered this broth over low heat for ten minutes. The composition must be cooled, filtered and added to the water you will wash with. And what remained of the infusion was laid out in gauze and put on sore spots. I also drank lemon balm tea in the morning and evening. To do this, you need to boil one tablespoon of lemon balm with boiling water. Within a month, the dermatitis passed, and now there are no manifestations of this disease.

Sophora Japanese. For dermatitis, eczema, and other skin diseases, the fruits of Japanese Sophora are crushed, I take a tablespoon of this medicine and pour one glass of boiling water. They insist all night, and then I drink the warm broth.

And as an antipruritic and anti-inflammatory agent for acne, various dermatitis and eczema, an infusion of cornflower flowers is taken inside. Brew 10 g of plant materials with a glass of boiling water. Take a quarter glass of the infusion 3 times a day 20 minutes before meals.

Tar soap for dermatitis

The therapeutic effect of birch tar has been used since ancient times. This oil is obtained from the upper layers of the bark of white birch, through special processing, settling and distillation. It has the appearance of a thick, viscous, oily liquid of dark color with a characteristic odor.

Its positive effect on the skin consists in improving the blood supply to the inflamed areas, stimulating regenerative and regenerative processes, reducing skin irritation and anti-inflammatory effect, good antimicrobial and antiseptic results.

The only precautionary point when using it may be the exclusion of its use with a pronounced activity of the inflammatory process of the dermis, accompanied by severe weeping and exudation. It is excellent after basic treatment to completely eliminate these manifestations after the preliminary use of herbal decoctions.

In its pure form, tar oil can be used in the form of applications, compresses, short-term baths or rubbing massages. As an additional product, they are enriched with cosmetics for the care of inflamed skin (soap, shampoo, cream). Of particular interest is tar soap, as it is relatively inexpensive and available to everyone. Besides, it can be prepared at home.

To do this, mix 100 grams of crushed melted baby soap with 2 tablespoons of base oil (it can be any oil), 1-2 tbsp. spoons of tar and add about 100 grams of water. Using this remedy, one must not forget that tar-based preparations can sometimes cause allergic reactions. It is advisable to preliminarily conduct appropriate compatibility tests by applying the substance to the unchanged skin of the inner surface of the elbow in order to exclude such complications. If there is no redness of the skin, you can safely use it.

Tea tree oil for dermatitis

In general, this tool was developed as a powerful antiseptic with excellent antimicrobial, antiviral and antifungal properties. But over time, its anti-inflammatory effect was also noticed. Especially if dermatitis is associated with previous mechanical damage to the skin in the form of insect bites, injuries, burns. In this case, inflammation often occurs not only in the area of trauma, but also widely spreads to healthy surrounding areas, which requires appropriate measures to eliminate the problem. Tea tree oil is ideal for these purposes. It can be used alone or added to other dermatitis treatments in varying concentrations and proportions. It is allowed to combine this product with tar oil or other oil solution. You should not try to combine an aqueous preparation with a fatty one, as this is not possible. The immediate treatment procedure consists of applying a few drops of oil to areas of the skin affected by dermatitis. Then they are lightly rubbed and massaged over the entire surface of the inflammation. In the form of 15-20-minute lotions and applications, tea tree oil is very effective and long-term protection of the altered skin from pathogenic microorganisms against the background of dermatitis, since during this time there will be an active absorption of the required amount of the active components of the drug.

Dermatitis talker

You can prepare it yourself or buy a ready-made dosage form. In the pharmacy chain, it is distributed under the name Tsindol. An excellent drug with a relatively low cost. Everyone can afford to buy it. It belongs to traditional medicine, as it contains natural components: zinc oxide, alcohol, talc, starch, glycerin and distilled water. There are such recipes for this tool for self-preparation:

1. preparation of a semi-alcoholic solution from 40 ml of distilled water and the same amount of alcohol;

It is shown to be applied for neurodermatitis, atopic dermatitis or common allergies at any stage of the process in this way:

1. gently cleanse the inflamed skin with water antiseptics or tea tree oil, by rubbing with cotton pads;
2. before using the prepared talker, it must be shaken, since heavy active components are prone to settling;
3. directly apply the mixture in a thin layer to the dermatitis area;
4. rubbing is not done. Everything is left in this form for 20 minutes. There is no need to apply a bandage;
5. excess talker can be carefully removed. The remaining elements form a light protective film.

Tar from dermatitis

It is a very effective remedy, even in the most severe forms of eczema and psoriatic dermatitis. It is advisable to apply tar to the affected areas in the stage of exacerbation of the process. Most patients tolerate such procedures very well, as they feel a sharp relief followed by positive dynamics in terms of reducing the symptoms of dermatitis. Tar can also be incorporated into various aqueous or alcoholic solutions. Diluting its concentration, stage-by-stage therapy is carried out with a gradual increase in the dose of the applied tar at the very beginning of treatment, to a pure substance, and its gradual decrease when the process subsides. Ideal for mixing boric acid solution at a concentration of 1-2%. The duration of the procedure is about half an hour. There is a clear rule to remember: chronic dermatitis requires chronic treatment. And it is better if it is carried out under the supervision of an experienced specialist who is trusted by the patient.
