Diagnosis: Eczema

It was around November when the pain and the itch began.  I wasn't quite sure what those red spot were but they seemed to respond to the only ointment that I had at home, my Lemongrass Spa Healing Elements Balm.  I used it for cuts, bug bites, even more private irritations (wink, wink) and it did the job, so why wouldn't it work on this new "rash?"  The Healing Elements alleviated the symptoms and as soon as they went away, I stopped putting it on.  It didn't take long for the rash to return and I would begin the dance again.  

Although uncomfortable, I wasn't overly concerned considering it took me two month to finally visit the doctor.  However, when I finally got around to it, it was nice to get an answer to my burning question.  Diagnosis:  Eczema!  Now I am very thankful that it isn't leprosy or any other horrific disease, but eczema wasn't what I was hoping for either.  Especially, in the armpits!  Ugh... it's annoying.  The doctor gave me the spiel of how there's not alot out there for it and not that much information about it.  What stuck in my head was that it doesn't really go away.  :(

I told her what I had been using and she asked if I wanted a prescription.  I said yes and got it filled, but I have yet to use it... I haven't had to!  I am all for modern medicine, but when I can use something natural and it works, I am absolutely going to take that route.  It's been two weeks since I have learned what I am dealing with and I have yet to have a flair up since!  

Being a consultant, I know that Lemongrass Spa has a number of products that are beneficial for those people who suffer from eczema, so as soon as I got home from the doctor, I went shopping!

Here's my artillery that is keeping my eczema at bay...

First, the oatmeal milk and honey soap smells phenomenal!!
It's a gentle cleanser that won't dry out your skin and perfect for sensitive skin.
You can use this on your face and whole body!

Although I was already using Lemongrass Spa natural deodorant, I felt that my Lavender Deodorant irritated my skin at times.  I later on read that essential oils need to be very diluted if they are going to be used on sensitive (eczema) skin.  So I changed over to our new deodorant paste.  I opted for the unscented paste and paired that with the lemongrass spray.

Last but not least, the healing elements balm!!!  So many uses and so far, it has worked for all that I have tried (lip balm, razor burn, anti-bacterial ointment, yeast infections, hemorrhoid cream, sunburn, canker sores, and deodorant).
Since my eczema is in my armpits, most of the time now, I am using this as my ointment and deodorant.  I love that I have the lemongrass deodorant spray to make me feel a little more protected from stink, ;)
