Eczema and Herbal Lymph Symphony
Eczema is a chronic and painful inflammation of the skin. It appears as blisters, itchy rashes, or scaly patches of skin. While modern medicine can treat eczema, these medicines simply treat the symptoms and not the underlying cause. Herbalists treat eczema by soothing symptoms, yes, but also by looking at possible toxins and allergies that may be contributing to breakouts.
Herbal Lymph Symphony is a special tea blend, and each ingredient has been chosen to both alleviate the symptoms of eczema and treat its causes. To make Herbal Lymph Symphony tea, all you need to do is add a teaspoon of the tea blend to a cup of boiling water, steep it for 10-15, and drink the tea two to three times per day. Each of these specialized ingredients may be able to help those who suffer from eczema.
