Aromatherapy using Essential Oils for Eczema/Psoriasis (Dermatitis)
Essential oils can be used for natural treatment of eczema or psoriasis (both forms of dermatitis) to help relieve itching and to promote skin regeneration. Many people prefer essential oil treatments over harsh prescription medication for controlling symptoms, including extremely dry skin, inflammation, and red clusters of bumps, which can become scaly, or thicken and crust over. Below are a few ways to use essential oils to treat eczema/psoriasis.
Topical Essential Oil Treatments for Eczema & Psoriasis (Dermatitis)
Essential oils used in the treatment of eczema and psoriasis include bergamot, geranium, lavender, tea tree, rose, chamomile, clary sage, peppermint, rosemary, patchouli, and juniper berry. Our best solution for eczema/psoriasis is our Eczema Treatment Moisturizing Butter, with chamomile and geranium. Our Skin Repair Butter with geranium and helichrysum is also a good option. Our Headache Relief Roll-on with peppermint and lavender, is a good choice for providing relief when you're on the go. You can also try creating your own topical treatment by adding any of the above essential oils to a moisturizing base like an unscented body butter or jojoba oil for treating psoriasis. See our Essential Oil Home Blending Guide for details.
Rosa Mosqueta Oil is packed with nutrient rich extracts and botanicals and trace amounts of rosewood essential oil. This treatment is recommended for those with weeping eczema (so dry the skin can crack open) and may be used topically on affected areas as needed.
