Eczema Anti-Itch Body Butter (No Beeswax) | Doctor Formulated with Herbs

Today, we are making a homemade whipped body butter for eczema and dry skin that is made with simple and natural ingredients and no beeswax.

I have been making my own natural body butter for my eczema for several years now and it has helped dramatically in reducing my symptoms of eczema. This body butter is made with all natural oils, shea butter and herbs that reduce inflammation and itchiness associated with eczema and provides long lasting hydration for the skin.

I love using herbs and oils from Mountain Rose Herbs and you can find the products I used listed above on their website by typing the product in the search bar.

RECIPE:
1/2 cup shea butter (~70 grams)
1/2 cup sunflower oil (~100 grams)
1/4 cup coconut oil (~30 grams)
1/4 cup plantain leaf
1/4 cup lavender
1/4 cup calendula
1 tsp vitamin E oil
10 drops peppermint essential oil
30 drops patchouli essential oil
*can switch the essential oils with your favorite one
*can omit coconut oil if your skin is sensitive to it

Using a double boiler, set heat to medium and melt the shea butter and coconut oil with the sunflower oil. Once almost all the way melted, reduce heat to low and add in the herbs. Heat on low for 30-45 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Strain out the herbs. Add in vitamin E oil and essential oils. Place in freezer for 20-25 minutes to continue cooling.

Blend with a hand mixer for a 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes more creamy and opaque in color. If still pretty liquidy, place in freezer for an additional 10 minutes. Then blend for 3-5 minutes until buttery smooth and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl/container. Store in an airtight container.

Im going to make this. The herbs from the mountain herbs was a bit pricey. I ended up ordering from Amazon the organic herbs. Cant wait to make this. I need some serious itchy relief from hives 😩

I think I would rather eat the cream rather then rub it on my body. Lol. It looks delicious. Thank you for sharing this video, I’ll give it a try.

Hi there, thank you for sharing this amazing product, what about 10 drops of Tea Tree and 30 drops of Lavender would that be ok on the skin, please reply as I have a daughter with really bad skin and would really like to try this on her skin please and thank you in advance for replying.

Hi, doctor. I got diagnosed with eczema and I haven't and wouldn't want to use any hydrocortisone cream because I know there's something called Topical Steroid Withdrawal. However, I couldn't find any videos about healing eczema naturally except for yours. I hope mine goes away without having to use any hydrocortisone cream and god bless you for your sharing of wisdom.

These little jars of whipped body butter would make great gifts!! I’m assuming they would be beneficial for dry skin, even if you don’t have eczema or any itchiness?

Hi love the video.
Any recipes for psoriasis body butter?

Dear Dr Sarah, I am one of your listeners from 8 months ago when i have had 'severe eczema'.
Unfortunately it's not what exactly happened. I got 'Topical Steroid Addiction' actually, due to my prolonged use of corticosteroid medications.
I believe you understand 'this term' inside out and how to deal with it correctly.
Accordingly i hope you can share your knowledge and experiences about this disease, consider millions people who suffers 'eczema' actually they aren't.
They just misdiagnosed eczema, they just victims of extremely harmful medications.
I'm really hope you can share this issue so that you can help million people out there suffering this 'misdiagoned eczema' which put them into depression even suicidal.
God bless you doctor.

Hello Doctor, I can not use lavander oil and was thinking of using chamomile essential oil . Would love to know you opinion on chamomile for eczema.
Thank you

Hello nettle to my knowledge is anti inflammatory. Would you recommend adding it to this mix?

[bjg]

Could we just infuse the sunflower oil and strain instead of heating it?

[Bizzle-ynvb]

Hi, thanks for the video. When you mean freezer do you mean just the fridge or the freezer part of the fridge? Thanks in advance

[melissamasters]

Does it stay creamy or will it get hard as it sits? Also, how long is the shelflife?

[forceofnature]

I'm allergic to either Shea butter or beeswax. I am going to have to get an allergy test done.

[kaylacollins]

I’m wondering if this would be safe while nursing and for toddlers? Thanks a bunch

[bjg]

Plantain leaf? They grow in your yard . Can ppl be allergic since its a weed?

[erikadorogi]

@DrSarahWright What other oil can be used, please?

[FreeRangeDiva]

This was great! Would cocoa butter be a good alternative to coconut oil?

[el]

Can this be used for Hives? Would there be a separate ingredient list? The itchiness can be too much 😞
