In this episode: Jennifer's journey with managing her son's eczema Dry wrapping vs. wet wrapping and how they can help eczema How did Jennifer get into the world of natural creams and salves? YoRo Naturals and Remedywear Quotes "With wet wrapping, you take a bath for about 20 minutes. Then you lightly pat dry your skin. You put on a layer of cream. Then you take a layer of damp clothing—clothing you put in warm water and then wrung out really well, so it's moist but not dripping wet. And then you put it on the skin and then you wear a dry layer on top of it. And you sit for at least two hours this way." [11:18] "Baking soda baths, apple cider vinegar baths...they're really good alternatives to the bleach bath that a lot of the physicians recommend, which is pretty toxic." [13:02] "I started the Eczema Company with carefully curated, natural, very safe products that I knew that worked for my son." [15:39] "I wanted to be able to provide options...We know that there's not one miracle cream out there, right? You'll see people talking about, oh, this miracle product, and people have called some of our products miracles. But it was a miracle for that person; it doesn't mean it's going to be a miracle for the next person."
