5. Skincare Benefits
35-million Americans live with chronic skin problems like eczema and psoriasis. These disorders produce symptoms of unsightly sores and rashes on patients, where the skin inflames and turns red in color.
Patients may experience symptoms of itching and feel some heat emanating from the affected area when it’s looking aggressive. Medical professionals are still uncertain about what causes eczema and what triggers flares of the condition.
Some experts think both psoriasis and eczema are autoimmune disorders where the patient’s immune system accidentally mistakes healthy skin cells for pathogens, attacking the healthy cells and inducing the rash or sores.
There is no known treatment in medical science for eczema rashes, other than calamine lotion and cortisone lotions. However, many people with eczema may suffer from an allergy to cortisone creams as well.
Drinking mullein tea may help alleviate the symptoms of eczema, and you can use the leftover tea leaves in a cold compress to relieve the symptoms of irritation, and itching associated with eczema rashes and psoriasis lesions.
