The thing with eczema is that it can be completely trial and error. We've made changes to just about everything in our house. Some products we've made the switch to include:
1) Switching to plant based powdered laundry & dish washer detergent. We now use the Trader Joe brand, as they're all natural.
2) Using eucalyptus drops in the laundry to kill off dust mites.
3) Not using fabric softner.
4) Using Frebreeze Allergen to also combat dust mites.
5) Using homemade spray cleaner made of 1 part alcohol, 1 part white vinegar, & 1 part water. Lemon oil drops can be added for fragrance.
6) All natural toothpaste for our son--Tom's children's flouride free.
7) All natural bath soap. We've tried a few varieties including Emu Oil, Evening Primrose, and Honey & Oatmeal.
8) Trader Joe Shampoo, and Weleda Shampoo.
I haven't noticed any dramatic changes since introducing the above, but it can't hurt. Until we figure this out we'll continue to suspect anything and everything.
