Eczema is a common skin disease, and babies have weaker resistance, making them more susceptible to eczema. If parents discover that their child has eczema, they need to seek timely treatment and take good care of the baby in daily life, which can help the eczema recover as soon as possible. So, can children with eczema take a bath with mugwort?
When children suffer from eczema, if there is no skin damage, they can use mugwort leaves to take a bath. Ai Ye has excellent disinfection and sterilization effects, and can also enhance resistance. Parents boil mugwort leaves in water for a few minutes before using them to give their babies a bath. This not only prevents infections and reduces itching symptoms, but also makes the child's skin smoother.
After boiling mugwort leaves in water for a few minutes, parents should let them sit for a period of time until the water temperature drops before giving them to their baby. If the water temperature is too high, it is easy to burn the baby's skin. Moreover, excessively high water temperature can easily irritate the affected area, further exacerbating the itching sensation.
If the baby is too young, such as less than 3 months old, it is not suitable to use mugwort for bathing. Because at this time, the child's skin is too delicate, and mugwort is a medication that may cause irritation to the child's skin. So in the neonatal stage, do not give your baby a bath with mugwort leaves. It is best to use clean water to wash your baby.
