Re: 4 1/2 with excema and no allergies detected
Hi Concerned Dad!
It is infantile eczema caused by a weakened immune system.
For the infantile eczema:
Mix 8 drops each of Tea Tree Oil & Lavender Oil With a teaspoonful of Vegetable oil or aloe gel.
Apply this mixture to effected areas, once in the morning and again at night.
Re-apply at midday is worn or washed off.
An extra teaspoonful of vegetable oil is used in the mixture if used for candida in toddlers. The more diluted mixture is then used to coat the white parts of the tongue with a clean finger or swab. The effects are almost immediate, and will clear up completely within 3 to 5 days.
I do not recommend using undiluted essential oils on a very young child's skin. Their skin is much more sensitive than older children.
It may take a few more applications, but irritation can be better avoided.
Start giving a child dosage of zinc to boost the immune system.
The very minimum daily requirement of zinc for Children 4 to 6 years old is 10 mg a day.
Since zinc is destroyed in the milling process and is also lost in cooking. A deficiency will result in an under performing immune system, open to infections, allergies, night blindness, loss of smell, falling hair, white spots under finger nails, skin problems, sleep disturbances etc.
With too little in the body, the sense of smell might suffer, as well as your sense of taste.
