Bath products are an effective way of managing eczema in children, new NHS guidelines say, despite a recent report saying such emollients may do little.

Hmmm... so a report said that emollients don't necessarily work and may cause other problems... but hey, they are ok.

Herbal remedies may not work and may cause other problems... but don't use them!!

Call me cynical - but I wonder whether the fact that the NHS gets the emollients from the big pharmaceuticals has any bearing on this decision.

Big Pharma strikes again.............
If you consider the advertising budgets these crooks have (countless billions), and their own "dirty tricks departments" (where amongst other things they pay off or silence people who have been damaged by their products!)
Chemical "therapies" are new and relatively untried, give me herbalism  proved with tens of thousands of years of clinical observation any day

at least the skin has time to heal from natural rememdes but can't always heal if you put it with synetic and harmful drugs

Yeah Linz - that's true. The steroid creams can thin the skin if not used correctly - and we were definitely prescribed some that said quite clearly not to use them on the face... but that's where we were told to use it!!

I am considering training to become a herbalist (sp?) but on a low budget and no funding available, It a little bit of a difficulty so i guess it's gona have to wait to become official.
But i can do lots of unofficial training hehe
