New Zealand Balm

Hello Karin from Italy,

For either Eczema or Rosacea I would use what we use over here! Also for itchy, cracked or dry skin.

This is a Balm made from the following ingredients, which you would apply in very small amounts (a smear) three to five times per day using a very clean finger: avocado oil, horopito, poroporo, kumerahoe, kawakawa, chickweed, unbleached New Zealand beeswax, NZ grown lavender oil, golden-seal, licorice root, calendula, Vitamin E, grapefruit seed extract, and zinc.

Worked for a bout of Rosacea on me many years ago- brilliant!

Cheers from Down Under

(P.S. Could E.C. kindly include this in New Zealand folk remedies please- thanks).
