Eczema and Acne Herbs For a Powerful Footbath
In 1979, Maurice Messe'gue', the famous French herbalist, who
practiced herbal footbaths for all kinds of ailments, wrote a book
called "Health Secrets of Plants and Herbs." In this book he
outlined his footbath treatment for Eczema.
I have listed his herbal recommendations and have added a few
more that are effective in reducing eczema symptoms. I have listed
11 herbs that you can buy in small quantities, ½ oz, to mix
together, produce a tea, and use in a footbath.
As mentioned in my other article on footbaths, create a tea,
with herbs and let them sit for 20-30 minutes. Then strain and add
them to a footbath. Use the footbath in the morning and evening for
10 - 14 minutes.
Use at least 9 of the herbs listed here.
Artichoke leaves - You can use artichoke leaves dried whole or
cut down and as an extract. Artichoke leaves have been used for
indigestion and irritable bowel syndrome. They help increase bile
and help the liver to regenerate. The liver needs to be in good
condition to help eczema conditions when excess toxins are
contributing to eczema. The liver helps to detoxify colon toxins
and other toxins that may reach eczema locations and cause
inflammation.
What I do is just buy some artichokes and cut them into small
pieces - about a small hand full - boil water and put them into the
boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Then I take the boiling water off
the stove and put my herbs.
Elecampane leaves - This herb is used to expel intestinal
parasites, helps to pull toxins out of the body, stimulate
digestion and the immune system. A tea of leaves and roots help
clean the skin by removing toxins and allowing your immune system
to heal your skin. Cabbage leaves - these leaves are known to
reduce your susceptibility to cancer. It is thought that cabbage
leaves have anti-inflammatory action. Cabbage has a healing action
on open wounds. You can use fresh cabbage cut into small pieces and
add them to the boiling water at the same time you add the
artichokes. Nettles - Nettle tea is good for wounds, stings, and
burns. It is also used to eliminate worms and for colon disorders.
Many times skin disorders can be the result of a toxic colon. That
is why cleansing and detoxifying the colon will help with any type
of skin problem. Sage - is a strong astringent, antioxidant, and
anti-inflammatory. It increases blood circulation, and helps
digestive problems.
Lavender -It is used for inflammation from insect bites.
Lavender helps to calms nerves. Many of the skin disorders stem
from anxiety and nervous conditions which lower the immune system.
This allows toxins or heredity conditions to surface and
re-establish themselves as skin diseases.
Marigold - is used for pain and skin swelling. It is good for
wounds, sprains, and inflamed and sore eyes.
Arnica - stimulates blood circulation and increases blood
pressure. It is used for eczema and acne. It has anti-bacterial and
anti-inflammatory properties. It can reduce swelling and pain and
helps heal wounds.
Burdock root - Has an excellent history of helping bruises,
swelling, and joint pain. It can help to eliminate ringworm on the
surface of the skin.
Black Walnut - hull and leaves are used to rid you of various
kinds of worms throughout the body. It is useful in constipation,
parasitic and fungal infection. It also helps eczema, acne, herpes,
skin parasites, and psoriasis.
Yarrow Flowers - helps to improve liver function. It has
antiseptic and viral properties. It firms and tones tissue outside
and inside the body. It helps to boost your immunity and kills many
types of pathogens. Its oils absorb toxins and help the body
dispose of them without out creating side effects.
There you have it. Don't be afraid of buying separate herbs and
creating an herbal mixture that you can use in a footbath for
eczema, acne and other skin conditions. One last thing, when you
use the footbath, you will stir up toxins that may increase skin
breakouts but this will pass as the footbaths help to clean out
your body.
