DERMATITIS

The terms eczema and dermatitis are often used interchangeably to describe the same condition. Dermatitis is characterized by a rash, dryness of skin, itching, and redness of skin. The symptoms of dermatitis occur due to the over production of damaging inflammatory skin cells and continue to worsen as a result of certain factors in the environment.

Home Remedy for Dermatitis: Oolong Tea

Eczema is an itchy skin condition that is sometimes referred to as atopic dermatitis. One natural treatment approach is to drink oolong tea. In a Japanese study, adults with atopic dermatitis improved after a month of drinking a liter of oolong tea a day. This tea does have caffeine, though considerably less than coffee.
