10 Home Remedies For Eczema
Home Remedy #8: Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is made from fermented apple juice. It is used as a marinade, in salad dressings, as a food preservative, and in home remedies. Despite it being used in folk or traditional medicine for many years, there is little to no scientific evidence that supports its health claims. It is commonly used for skin conditions and weight loss.
The National Eczema Association has reported that it may be beneficial for those with eczema. However, those interested should use it with caution as the acid can damage the skin. The application of apple cider vinegar to the skin can help balance the pH levels of the skin and fight off bacteria that can cause secondary infections, especially in cases where there is broken skin. To use apple cider vinegar, dilute it by mixing 1 tablespoon of vinegar in 1 cup of water.
