Dermatitis Blend

Symptoms
Contact dermatitis on four different skin colors. Contact dermatitisEnlarge image
Each type of dermatitis tends to occur in a different part of the body. Symptoms may include:
  • Itchiness that can be painful.
  • Dry, cracked, scaly skin, more typical on white skin.
  • Rash on swollen skin that varies in color depending on skin color.
  • Blisters, perhaps with oozing and crusting.
  • Dandruff.
  • Thickened skin.
  • Small, raised bumps, more typical on brown or Black skin.
See your doctor if:
  • You’re so uncomfortable that the condition is affecting sleep and daily activities.
  • Your skin is painful.
  • If you have a skin infection — look for new streaks, pus, and yellow scabs.
  • You have symptoms even after trying self-care steps.
Seek immediate medical attention if you have a fever and the rash looks infected.
A common cause of dermatitis is contact with something that irritates your skin or triggers an allergic reaction. Examples of such things are poison ivy, perfume, lotion and jewelry containing nickel. Other causes of dermatitis include dry skin, a viral infection, bacteria, stress, genetic makeup and a problem with the immune system.
Common risk factors for dermatitis include:
  • Age. Dermatitis can occur at any age, but atopic dermatitis is more common in children than adults. It often begins in infancy.
  • Allergies, atopic dermatitis and asthma. People who have a personal or family history of atopic dermatitis, allergies, hay fever or asthma are more likely to develop atopic dermatitis.
  • Occupation. Jobs that put you in contact with certain metals, solvents or cleaning supplies increase your risk of contact dermatitis. Being a health care worker is linked to hand eczema.
  • Other health conditions. Health conditions that put you at increased risk of seborrheic dermatitis include Parkinson’s disease, immunodeficiency and HIV/AIDS.
  • Take shorter baths and showers. Limit your bath or shower to about 10 minutes. Use lukewarm, not hot, water. Bath oil also may be helpful.
  • Use a mild soap or a soapless cleanser. Choose a cleanser that has no dyes, alcohols and fragrance. Some soaps can dry the skin. For young children, you usually need only warm water to get them clean — no soap or bubble bath needed. Don’t scrub the skin with a washcloth or loofah.
  • Pat dry. After bathing, gently pat the skin with a soft towel. Avoid aggressive rubbing.
  • Moisturize all the skin. While the skin is still damp, seal in moisture with an oil, cream or lotion. Moisturize throughout the day as needed.Many moisturizers are sold. Try different products to find one that works for you. The ideal moisturizer is safe, unscented, effective, affordable and one that you like to use regularly. Examples include Vanicream, Eucerin, CeraVe and Cetaphil.
  • None of the suggested treatment treat the cause. In a dicussion with my doctor and through my own research, gluten is said to be the leading cause of ezcema.
  • Intitially I eliminated all gluten and 5 nightshades. That helped but my skin still wasn’t healing.
  • For the two episodes on my back I finally landed on essential oils that help detoxify and heal. Freom there I created Essential Body Rub and later made a blend of essential oils for dermititis.
  • Finally, I had it on both legs and had to finally surrender to the aid of a dermitologist (now retired). Both legs were severly infected so she wrapped both legs up to my knees in gauze soaked in zinc. That made me do more research and some types of ezcema need zinc to heal. It worked! When she took the gauze off one week later, both legs looked like new baby skin. I had one more obsticle to overcome at this point. my legs had to slough dead cells and as much as I tried, nothing helped. It was like dead skin after a sunburn has healed. That’s when I created sugar scrub. The first time I used it all the dead skin was gone. Since doing those treatments I haven’t had anymore episodes.
  • Drop me a message if you have any questions or want to try my products for Dermititis.
  • My source is Mayo Clinic. My photos are the products I created that helped.
  • I am making no claims to diagnose, tell you what treatment will work for you, or cure any disease. I am an LLC business located in Coos Bay, Oregon.
  • I really want to hear from you because it matters to me how you are feeling about you health. Natural remedies are amazing but medical advice is important too.
  • If you would like to try all three I can switch my Senory blend for the Dermititis Blend. You have to ask me to do that however as I can’t read your mind.

Lemongrass Essential Oil FAQs

What is lemongrass oil good for?

With its fresh and citrusy aroma, lemongrass essential oil is widely used in skincare and cosmetics, in hair care products, soaps and bath products. It’s a popular fragrance in perfumes, deodorants, candles, and air fresheners, and acts as a natural insect repellent. Additionally, lemongrass oil can be found in some household cleaners, therapeutic balms and rubs, aromatherapy diffusers, and massage oils.

Keep in mind this oil may be skin sensitive. Adding more carrier oil will not decrease the effectiveness of the oil.

How to use lemongrass essential oil?

Lemongrass oil, with its refreshing citrus scent, has a variety of applications. For topical use, dilute it with a carrier oil, like coconut or Jojoba oil at a ratio of 2-3 drops of lemongrass oil to every teaspoon of carrier oil; this can be applied for skin care, massage, or as a natural insect repellent. For aromatic purposes, add a few drops to a diffuser or a pot of boiling water to fill the room with its invigorating fragrance. Always conduct a patch test on a small area of skin before full application, and consult a health professional before ingesting or using it for therapeutic purposes.

From its roots in traditional Southeast Asian cultures to its modern-day applications in aromatherapy and holistic medicine, this oil has proven its worth. Its ability to alleviate pain, reduce stress and anxiety, combat bacterial and fungal infections, and even act as a natural insect repellent, makes it a valuable addition to anyone’s wellness toolkit.

As with any natural remedy, it’s important to use lemongrass essential oil responsibly and consult healthcare professionals when necessary.

Don’t confuse lemongrass with other plants and ingredients that have similar names, including citronella oil, lemon, eucalyptus, and citronella (stone root). These are not the same.

Lemongrass in plant form is used as an infused tea.
