They are safe for children and infants but should still be used externally only, and we recommend that our internal tea and extract be reserved for adults. Some people see results after one or two applications. Depending on what you are currently using and how severe your problem is, the ingredients in our products are so moisturizing that you may see immediate results. Other times, however you will need to follow a course of treatment using the cream and salve several times during the day, after bathing and also make alterations to your diet and lifestyle. We don't offer the fastest relief, necessarily, however we do offer long term relief which is simply not the case with topical steroids and many other products which can further damage skin over time.
Results vary widely from person to person.
This is because there are so many contributing factors with eczema, and it is often difficult to know what is playing the most active role in your situation. It is well known that stress plays a prominent role in eczema and most skin conditions in general, particularly in flare-ups. Since we cannot diagnose your problem on the phone or even be sure it's eczema, even if that's what your dermatologist has determined, we simply cannot know how severe of a problem you are dealing with. The reason for this is that often times, if you're using a steroid cream or ointment, your skin becomes used to it. While it actually causes long-term damage to the skin, in the short run it may relieve itching better than natural products because of the strong chemicals.
