We've all heard that honey can do wonders for the body, in fact, for the last 2000 years it has been used for treating different kinds of ailments.
Lately, it's being scientifically tested as a cure for different kinds of diseases.
Honey is tapped as eczema natural remedies because of its antibacterial properties that are active in four ways.

• It has low water activity; that makes proliferation of bacteria impossible.
  Low water activity means there are fewer water molecules left for bacteria to invade and multiply.
  
• Glucose oxidase is an enzyme in honey that releases hydrogen peroxide slowly.
  It can only be utilized in topical application because when taken orally, the acid in the stomach destroys the enzyme, but when applied as eczema natural remedies, the body fluids such as perspiration and other body substances dilute the honey and help in the release of the peroxide.
  
• Honey is acidic, it has a high pH level and so bacterial growth is not possible.
  
• There is a substance in honey called Methylglyoxal, or MGO, non-peroxide antibacterial activity, which means the substance do not use the process of oxidation in purging bacteria and other microorganism.
  

Now, using it as dermatitis treatment, it can be paired with other eczema natural remedies to maximize efficiency and provide cure for other symptoms like itching and inflammation.
Oatmeal, colloidal or powdered, can be mixed with it.
Oatmeal is one of the commonly used eczema natural remedies because of its astringent properties, ceasing the inflammation and eventually the itching sensation.
Here are the steps in using honey and oatmeal natural cures.

1. Grind the oats to powder form, mix in with the honey with the ratio of one half cup of honey to three fourths cup of the powder.
   The texture or consistency must be similar to a paste.
   This is to prevent the mixture from being runny and may drip.
   
2. Apply the paste on affected area, keeping it on for an hour or so.
   This will let the skin absorb the mixture, providing the release of the antibacterial and astringent properties of the eczema natural remedies.
   A good opportunity of putting on the mixture is a hour or so before taking a bath.
   
3. To make sure the mixture does not spread on clothes or any other part of the body, use a gauze bandage to cover it and secure by taping or loosely tie with the bandage.
   
4. Wash or rinse off, use the paste whenever you wish or when symptoms are still present.
   Regular application is ideal, such as twice a day before bath.
   

Honey and oatmeal eczema natural remedies have the advantage of being natural and very safe to use for long periods of time without the worries of side effects and other complications.
The high pH of the honey is countered by the pH balancing effect of the oatmeal.
