Can mugwort water cure eczema?

Boiling water with mugwort actually has certain medicinal effects, and using mugwort water to treat eczema is actually feasible. Eczema is a relatively common skin disease that is more likely to occur in children. After the onset of eczema, the affected part of the body will experience obvious discomfort, redness, swelling and itching, and the patient will be able to notice it immediately.

Can boiled mugwort treat eczema?

1. Medicinal bath

Wash the fresh mugwort leaves and put them into a pot, add appropriate amount of water, boil over high heat for about five to ten minutes, then take out the mugwort leaves and put the mugwort water into the bathtub for a bath. This method is very effective in treating eczema, especially it has a good stimulating effect on hair follicles, and is more suitable for people with large areas of eczema.

2. Oral therapy

This method is more common to cook with mugwort leaves, that is, to treat eczema through diet therapy. The usual practice is to boil mugwort and sugar into soup and drink it. This is what we often call mugwort sweet soup, which can not only treat red urine and burning pain, yellow tongue coating, and red tongue, but also has the effects of clearing away heat, promoting diuresis, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

3. Apply directly to the affected area

Boil the mugwort leaves into concentrated water, put it into a bottle and store it in the refrigerator. Apply an appropriate amount to the affected area every day and you will see obvious results after 3-7 days.

However, it should be noted that although mugwort has certain antiviral and bactericidal effects, it cannot completely cure eczema. It can only effectively alleviate the condition and reduce the itching caused by eczema. If you want to completely cure eczema, it is best to go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination and then use scientific methods to prescribe the right medicine.

In addition, when treating eczema, you must choose fresh mugwort leaves for treatment instead of old mugwort leaves. Otherwise, not only will it fail to achieve the effect of treatment and health care, but it may also endanger your health.

Precautions for preventing eczema

1. Pay attention to hygiene

Eczema is often caused by infection, so everyone should pay attention to their personal hygiene, take a bath frequently, change underwear frequently, and be highly vigilant in public places. Household washing machines should also be disinfected regularly to prevent bacterial growth.

2. Dress Correctly

Clothing that is too tight may cause damage to the skin due to friction and irritation, and is not conducive to the evaporation of sweat, thereby increasing the risk of bacterial infection. Correct dressing is also an important measure to prevent disease.

3. Use antibiotics with caution

Many people mistakenly take antibiotics as a health supplement. Although antibiotics can effectively kill harmful bacteria, they will also inhibit the beneficial bacteria in the human body. This will increase the chance of fungal reproduction and easily cause allergic skin inflammation such as eczema.
