My name is Erin and I'm 29 years old with a Bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of Oregon. I started this blog with the hopes of building a community centered around healthy habits like growing your own food, harvesting it, preserving it, and turning it into delicious, plant-based meals. I have a deep passion for gardening, cooking, and nature in general so I hope to inspire others and share what I have learned over the years to guide you along your health journey!

This eczema salve has been working absolute wonders on my skin 🌿🌼

During these dry winter months, I always suffer from a flare-up of eczema on my hand. I've always turned to a topical steroid cream, but after learning about the effects of topical steroid withdrawal, I knew it was not something I wanted to be using long term.

I've been playing around with herbal medicine for years now, but this was my first time making a homemade salve and it was so easy to do! I just did a little research to figure out which herbs were most effective for eczema and it turns out I had everything I needed, grown right in my own backyard.

I can truly say that for me, this salve has worked just as well, if not better than the steroid cream and now I don't have to worry about any side effects or withdrawals.

Disclosure: I am not a medical professional. Everything stated in this video and caption is just my personal opinion so please do your own research before taking my advice.
