Calming Eczema and Psoriasis Soak: Soothing Herbal Skin Soak
Couldn't load pickup availability
Our Eczema & Psoriasis Hand Soak is an organic herbal soak crafted for dry, itchy, cracked, and irritated skin. Built around four classic vulnerary (skin-repairing) herbs. This herbal blend may help calm redness, soften rough patches, and support the skin's natural barrier.
Kate personally used this as a natural remedy to heal the eczema on her hands.
How an herbal soak works
Steeping herbs in hot water draws out their soothing compounds, mucilage, and plant constituents. Comfrey root and leaf contain allantoin, a compound widely used in skincare for its softening and skin-renewing properties. Plantain is a traditional folk remedy for itchy, irritated, or cracked skin. Calendula has long been used by herbalists to calm inflamed, reactive skin.
It is recommended to steep the herbs overnight then pour them into a medium sized bowl that can fit your hands or feet. Additions like magnesium flakes are great to enhance healing effects. Soak 2x a day for 20 minutes until you find relief.

How often should I soak?
2x a day for 20 minutes each until your skin has cleared. This is a gentle but effective way to heal eczema naturally. It took Kate regular everyday use for 2 weeks to heal her hands.
Can I use this on other parts of my body?
Yes. The strained infusion can be used as a compress on elbows, knees, or feet, or added to a foot soak. Do not dilute too much so keep it in a medium sized bowl. Avoid the eyes and any open wounds or bleeding skin.
Why can't I use comfrey on open wounds?
Comfrey contains naturally occurring pyrrolizidine alkaloids, so herbalists traditionally keep it to intact or lightly irritated skin rather than open, bleeding, or deep wounds.
Should I moisturize after soaking?
Yes. Let hands air dry and apply a fragrance-free moisturizer right away to lock in hydration.
