Lavender essential oil has anti-fungal and antibacterial properties and has the ability to fight inflammation. So, it perfect for fighting eczema symptoms.  It is a gentle essential oil and it is safe for children over the age of 2.

Due to its potent anti-inflammatory properties, tea tree oil is an effective natural remedy for treating psoriasis and eczema. However, it can cause allergic reactions in some people, so it is recommended to begin with few drops.
