4. Apply Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil used in the combination of olive oil can help in curbing the itching and soften dried skin.
5. Apply Aloe Vera
Pure Aloe Vera gel helps in providing a nice cooling effect to itchy skin. If you are suffering from eczema or psoriasis, consider growing your own aloe plant so that you can take the gel straight from its natural source avoiding the chemicals.
6. Consume Flaxseeds
Flaxseeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and they help block a chemical in your body called arachidonic acid responsible for inflammation. Consume a few tablespoons of flaxseed and add to smoothies, oatmeal, granola, or salads. You can also use flaxseed oil as a dressing for salads and veggies.
7. Eat Fish Oil
The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil helps in improving eczema when taken in high doses between 3-10gms a day. Olive oil, flaxseed, nuts, and fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, and tuna are all good natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
