Milk and honey baths for eczema

When my kids were small, I bathed them in milk, honey, scented with mandarin orange. They loved it!

Here's the recipe

4 cups whole milk powder
1 cup honey
5-7 drops mandarin essential oil

Fill a baby bath with warm water.
Add the milk powder, honey and mandarin essential oil. Mix well with your hand.

Bathe the little child in it, scrubbing with a face towel to clean them up.


As they get older, you can make a bath ball to scrub them in the shower.. or in the bath tub if they prefer.

Fill a clean cotton sock with milk powder and add a few drops of mandarin essential oil. Use that to scrub the kid with.

By the way, after bathing with milk, remember to rinse off all traces of milk as in this weather, that milk will leave the kid smelling like cheese as the day goes on.

You can make that milk bath or shower treat for yourself too. It's great for the skin!
