Soothing Bath for Eczema and Itchy Skin
This soothing bath helps alleviate eczema and itchy skin, with a blend of extra virgin olive oil, baking soda, and finely ground oats. The ingredients create a gentle, moisturizing bath to calm irritated skin.
Equipment
- Coffee grinder or high speed blender
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup baking soda
- ½ cup oats finely ground, using a coffee grinder or blender
For use with a small baby tub:
- 3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons oats finely ground, using a coffee grinder or blender
Instructions
- Add ingredients to bath water and mix well to distribute throughout.
- Soak for 15-20 minutes.
Notes
Make sure the oats are ground to a very fine powder, otherwise they'll just sink to the bottom of the tub and leave a big mess to clean up. You can also add the whole oats to a small muslin bag or cheesecloth and hang it in the water if you aren't able to grind them. Use caution when standing and exiting the tub after the bath, as the ingredients' moisturizing effects will cause the tub to become slippery.
