Coconut oil is a wonder product for moisturising skin and hair, but it's also makes a major difference in treating eczema.

I've suffered from eczema all my life and I've been worried about the effects of using creams containing cortisone on my skin. Cortisone is known to thin the skin, but coconut oil provides an all-natural alternative. Rub coconut oil on affected areas before bed, leave it on overnight and you'll soon see results.

WARNING: It can stain sheets, so use the 'less is more' method or use an old sheet.
