Reaction, Allergy or Healing? ~ 3 Home Remedies for Healing Eczema
How God showed up in Thyme
During my journey for health I had asked my husband, who owns a 24 hour restoration company that deals with mold, to bring me home something that I could use for the surface mold in my basement shower. He had always bragged about the amazing, safe and natural products he used for work and I had to test it myself.
It took him a few months to finally bring me home the CHEMICAL. I was so excited to read the ingredients. Thymol (a component of thyme oil) and lemon. I had to laugh. Here, this powerful non toxic product was used by the professionals to treat child care centers, hospitals and molds and fungus. It is a virucidal, bactericidal, fungicidal, tuberculocidal and even kills HIV on pre-cleaned surfaces. It is safe to use on food surfaces and no hazard or FDA approval on the bottle. I used it for the mold and got some on my hands, on my eczema and it tingled and burned like mad.
I was having a REACTION, a bad thing right?
I was wrong. My eczema turned a page and began to clear up. I was so excited. Natural, safe and effective at treating my eczema and mold. I discovered a wonder product by accident. Actually, God gave me this amazing discovery because He loves us all and I had been asking for answers and healing. I was desperate and open to whatever He would show me.
BUT WAIT… If this product “kills” eczema, than there must be a cure for it completely. After all, this product KILLS HIV and 99.99% of germs…
Must be pretty powerful stuff. Right? Please dilute your Thyme oil. Only a little is needed. After all 0.23 % of this gallon bottle was thymol. The rest was water and scent…
I use Young Living essential oils to clean my house and bath in as well as for healing.
You can use any oils, herbs, or whatever you would like. Just be cautious of your source.
How I Discovered Healing in Borax
I was doing laundry one afternoon and using my usual borax and baking soda and I decided to use a little vinegar. I also had to put my hands in the water to push all the clothes in. Well my eczema on my hands started burning like mad. I couldn’t believe how badly they burned and itched and even blistered. It felt like biting under my skin. I could not handle all the agony.
I was experiencing another bad REACTION, ‘I won’t do that again’, I thought!
I applied some of my Herbal Pine Salve and went about my day.
Later that evening I realized that all the blisters were healing and that almost all the eczema was soothed. Another coincidence? I think not. Once again, God was giving me another aspect of knowledge for my healing. I know now that I had experienced all this in order to help others overcome this painful and irritating aspect of their lives.

4 Cayenne/Cinnamon Home Remedies for Eczema Healing
For those suffering with the maddening itch of eczema, flaring, blistering, itchy and chafing- a simple cayenne scrub may aid in healing and itch relief. Start off slow on the cayenne and test on a small area. It isn’t the easiest to tolerate at first but has played a major part in my healing journey along with my diet changes. Here are some recipes I used along with my Cayenne Pain Salve.
Cinnamon Paste (a mild beginning)
- 1/2 c Peanut Butter
- 4 Tbsp Cinnamon Powder
- 4 Tbsp Raw Honey
Mix ingredients well and apply as needed. Nightly until healing well. Works well to relieve itching and draw out eczema. Scrub, massage, scrape, or simply wash off. Do not hesitate to scrub a little rough as this will help to get the rooted eczema to the surface.
Cayenne/Cinnamon Yogurt (for those just starting out and need a milder start)
- 1/2 cup yogurt or kefir
- 2 Tbsp Cayenne and/or 2 Tbsp Cinnamon
Mix ingredients well and apply as needed. Nightly until healing well. Works well to relieve itching and draw out eczema. Scrub, massage, scrape, or simply wash off. Do not hesitate to scrub a little rough as this will help to get the rooted eczema to the surface.
Cayenne/Cinnamon Clay
- 1/4 cup bentonite clay liquid OR
- 1/8 cup bentonite clay powder and 1/8 cup water
- 2 Tbsp Ground Cayenne Pepper and/or 2 Tbsp Cinnamon
Cayenne/Cinnamon Scrub Recipe (For those ready to rage war and try anything)
- 3 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp Ground Cayenne Pepper
- 2 Tbsp Peanut Butter and/or Raw Honey
Mix ingredients in a small jar and apply to eczema or acne as needed for relief. Daily or nightly as able. Cover with towel or plastic bag as needed to leave on as long as possible. (You may want to test a small area and the burn is temporary and you build a tolerance to it . (starting out you may just want to add a dash of cayenne and work up to more) I literally chased my eczema around my hand this way. I had to get serious and attack full force.
Directions for using Cayenne treatments
Mix ingredients well and apply as needed. At night or an hour before bedtime.
Cover with a plastic bag or old clothes to prevent staining clothing.
Wash as needed but burn doesn’t always stop immediately. Apply cool yogurt or other neutral cover to draw any burning needed.
The burning may continue after washed off so go at your own pace and tolerance level. I was hard core and went full force after a while as my torture and itching was severe as well.
Caution: Wash Hands Thoroughly after application or use. Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth or other sensitive areas after using.
After complete or in the morning, apply Pine Salve.

CAUTION: I would not try the cayenne with a young child. Cinnamon will burn a little so maybe start with a Tbsp and work up to more. I would do this for about a week during the most severe itchy times of the month as the eczema cycles.

James 1 King James Version (KJV)
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
