The remaining 20 per cent was animal-based, mainly fish. Lifestyle changes included more sleep and exercise — "I went to the gym every two or three days" — and less stress.

Two months into his "food as medicine" experiment, the itching stopped. After three months his rashes had disappeared. Today his eczema has been reduced by 90 per cent."

The National Eczema Association (NEA) explains: "Virgin sunflower seed oil has anti-inflammatory properties to help soothe itchy and inflamed eczema skin, and can improve skin hydration and preserve the integrity of the skin’s natural barrier."

Experts suggest the oil's eczema relieving effects may be attributable to its moisturising properties.

ECZEMA affects millions of people in the UK so finding ways to alleviate symptoms could improve the lives of many. Natural oils have shown promise in alleviating eczema symptoms.

Scalp and Hair Growth needs vitamins B, C,D,E,Omega Fatty Acid & protein Keratin for optimal growth.

Thus a blend of four oils helps to cover all these vitamins to not only reduce hair loss but also stimulate hair growth and they are jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, castor oil and coconut oil (can be replaced by jojoba for those allergic/with eczema).

This is a potent mix that aids hair/scalp cleansing to dissolve excess sebum/dirt (jojoba), scalp soothing (coconut/castor), follicle nourishing to strengthen the roots so as to reduce hair fall (almond/castor) and growth stimulating (coconut,almond & castor)

For those believers of essential oil, you can also add rosemary essential oil (strengthens circulation) and peppermint essential oil (also used to promote hair growth). As a result, it could prevent hair follicles from being starved of blood supply, dying off, and leading to hair loss. Beyond stimulating hair growth, rosemary essential oil is also used to prevent premature graying and dandruff. It may also help dry or itchy scalp.

You can even add a few drops of rosemary oil into your shampoo or leave in conditioner too.

Application:
Please use once or twice weekly and effects will be more pronounced if done weekly for at least 6-8 weeks. Massage on scalp n keep it on at least 2-3 hrs (or best overnight) before washing off

Scandalwood and Licorice Face Cream

Famed for both its woody, intense scent and its long-revered healing benefits, sandalwood has made its way into high-end Ayurvedic formulas for being a powerful antiseptic, emollient and anti-inflammatory agent that can benefit your skin in myriad ways.

It is a known antiseptic agent that helps fight bacteria and microbes as well as a potent immunological stimulant, calmative and antiphlogistic (anti-inflammatory) agent that help reduce swelling, itchiness and burning sensation to areas affected by eczema, acne and other debilitating skin conditions. Best of all, it also helps heal and fade tissue scarring.

Licorice is another godsend. “Glycyrrhizin, an active [ingredient] in the liquorice root, has strong anti-inflammatory activity that is similar to cortisol and steroids. What's more, it's a skin lightening agent that has always been added to many whitening face creams!

As such, both Scandalwood and Licorice help address hyperpigmentation and skin discolouration issues which eczema sufferers can relate to.

And mix these goddesses with moisture trapping humectants, Aloe and Glycerin and skin soothers, Rose Water and skin repairers/rejuvenaters, Vitamin E, the cream has just the perfect mix of everything that is needed for eczema relief and a flawless look.

You got to try it to believe it. You won't regret it.

Ingredients:
Aloe Vera, Rose Water, Scandalwood, Licorice, Glycerin, Vitamin E

Black cumin seed oil is a legendary secret of the goddesses like Cleopatra and Nefertiti, who used it as part of their daily beauty regimen.

Used topically, Black Cumin Seed Carrier Oil is reputed to hydrate, soothe, smooth, and nourish the skin, to address fungal infections and blemishes, and to promote the skin’s reparation and regeneration, thus facilitating a smoother, clearer, and brighter complexion. It is known to exhibit the same effects when applied to hair.

Prophet Muhammad was quoted to have said, “Hold on to the use of the black seed for indeed it has a remedy for every disease except death” (Sahih Bukhari vol. 7 book 71 # 592). According to the Old Testament (28:25-27), the oil is called “the remedy of every illness”. In the book Tibb-e-Nabavi’ that lists natural drugs, black cumin seeds have been recorded as one of the best herbs for problems such as cold, headaches, allergies, infections, toothaches, digestive disorders, and inflammatory disorders. It's used in TCM and Ayuvedic treatments too!

That's why after many trials and errors, we made a eczema-busting, whipped Shea body butter with black cumin seed oil in it. It will not only moisture but also help to treat eczema and is also an impressive antihistamine. What more can you ask for ;)

Ingredients: Shea Butter, Grapeseed Oil, Lavender-Infused Sunflower Oil, Zinc Oxide, Evening Primose Oil and Black Cumin Seed Oil.
