Isabelle has had eczema in her arms, just behind the elbows, for over a year now. We already have brought her to different dermatologists in the hope that they may prescribe medication that is safe and natural but all of them have consistently prescribed steroids, topical and even oral, to cure and manage her skin condition. I refused to give her steroids knowing the side effects that come with the said medication.
In my search for the natural cure, I have stumbled upon a video of a caucasian man in YouTube who was eagerly telling his discovery of a natural cure for his son's eczema. He related his frustrating and unsuccesful efforts to help his son whom he has brought to different doctors who prescribed all kinds of medication, even steroids. The natural cure that he discovered turned out to be blackened rice which was recommended to him by a Filipina acquaintance. I cannot remember exactly how he is related to the Filipina. I tried searching for that video but it no longer appears in YouTube. I regret not trying to get this man's contact details before as I wanted to thank him for his kindness and generosity in sharing this cure.
Isabelle's eczema is not entirely gone but the blackened rice, which we call at home as 'The Black Rice", has eradicated the redness and the rashes by as much as 80%. In fact, I still use it on Isabelle at night to ease the redness when her eczema acts up.

I also discovered that this Black Rice together with the Calendula Cream of California Baby has worked wonders on my daugther. It is just too bad that I already ran out of this calendula cream and still have to order them from the States. So, in the meantime, I have to make do with the Black Rice.
For anyone interested in trying this concoction out, what you do is just fry the rice until it blackens. I prefer using organic rice to make sure that it is 100% free of chemicals and synthetic materials. When the rice is already burnt and blackened, you add water and stir it until it reaches a pasty consistency. This paste is what you put on areas affected by the eczema. But, if you have the calendula cream, you may put this first over the affected areas and then cover this with the black rice.

Do you boil the rice first, before frying it?
Hi, you just have to fry it until it blackens and you add the water to make the paste.
Breastmilk works wonders too. After my daughter's bath we dip a cottonball into expressed breastmilk placed in a cup and dab it all over her body. At around two months of age she started scratching her cheeks and rubbbing her legs against her bouncer. Soon her rashes appeared. We started to apply expressed breastmilk on her eczema/atopic dermatitis areas (knees, back of elbows and cheeks) when the lotions didnt work and they disappeared completely in under a week. She is 7 months now and has perfectly flawless skin.
