Honey and Cinnamon Paste for Eczema Relief

Honey and Cinnamon Paste for Eczema Relief

Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon raw honey (manuka honey is highly effective)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (organic is best)
  • Optional: A few drops of coconut oil for added moisturizing properties

Instructions:

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine honey and cinnamon into a smooth paste. Add a few drops of coconut oil if extra hydration is needed.
  2. Cleanse the Area: Wash the affected skin gently with lukewarm water and pat dry.
  3. Apply the Paste: Apply a thin layer of the honey-cinnamon mixture directly onto the eczema-affected areas.
  4. Let It Sit: Leave the paste on the skin for 20-30 minutes.
  5. Rinse: Wash off gently with lukewarm water and pat dry.
  6. Repeat: Use this remedy once daily for best results.

Why It Works:

  • Honey: Acts as a natural humectant, drawing moisture to the skin, while its antibacterial properties help prevent infections in cracked or irritated skin.
  • Cinnamon: Contains anti-inflammatory compounds that may help reduce redness and swelling, and it has mild antibacterial effects.
  • Coconut Oil (optional): Provides deep hydration and forms a protective barrier to lock in moisture.

Precautions:

  • Patch Test First: Cinnamon can sometimes irritate sensitive skin. Test the paste on a small area before applying it widely.
  • Avoid Broken Skin: Do not apply to open wounds or severely broken skin, as it may sting.
  • Consult a Doctor: If eczema symptoms worsen or you have a severe case, consult a dermatologist before trying natural remedies.
