…I’ve been treating my eczema with homemade kefir for several years now. It’s the only thing that cools those itchy patches…but come to think of it, since I started using kefir, I have not had any eczema breakouts. The last time I had it, my eyelids were inflamed and itchy. I finally put a little bowl of kefir on my bathroom countertop and put it on my eyelids after showering each evening. It was clear within 36 hours. Of course, it’s made of bacteria.

I also drink it sometimes, but not often. I keep a culture alive in my refrigerator even if I don’t use it that much anymore. I have had awful bouts with eczema over the years, but kefir has been an effective treatment.
