  Has anyone ever made a salve for eczema with breastmilk? My little girl has some eczema on her face that I can’t get to heal and I thought maybe breastmilk would do the trick?

  Yes, I recall using my milk for skin or eye issues for my babies. I used it directly though, not sure I’d risk losing its healing properties by making it into a salve. Hope you find what works for your girl!

  Have a look at the Save Yer Skin Formula. The recipe is here on slide 5: https://homesteadacademy.com/course/homegrown-herbalist/lessons/skin-formulas/
  
  There are lotion making instructions in the Herbal medicine making lessons.

  Or, if you want the easy button:

  Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
