Herbs for Eczema - What's the best way to treat eczema?

Should you take all of these herbs, minerals and nutrients separately or together in one comprehensive formula?

We recommend that you take these nutrients together if possible for many reasons:

1. Taking each herb, mineral and nutrient separately could prove very costly as you would have to buy many different supplements.
   
   
2. Mixing and matching herbs and nutrients on your own could be dangerous to your health.
   
   
3. Many herbs and nutrients working together can offer more therapeutic benefits, often better than a single nutrient on its own.
   
   
4. All of these nutrients have to be balanced perfectly in order to be optimally effective.

**UPDATE**

We have added a new product to our health regimen. As we mention above, more and more research has concluded that fish oil should be an essential part of a healthy diet. It contains two important Omega 3 Fatty Acids, DHA and EPA, which have been shown to be lacking in people with eczema.

This newfish oil supplement can used alongside eczema creams as part of your nutritional program.

As with all heath supplements, results vary from person to person so be sure to consult your physician or qualified herbal professional before taking any herbs for eczema.
