Calendula Cream Eczema Treatment

I've heard mentioned a Calendula Cream eczema remedy for babies on various parenting web sites.

For instance, a woman mentions how she tried a Calendula Cream eczema remedy for her toddler, and his eczema got better really quick.

My 21 month old son has mild eczema. We've used Aquaphor and Eucerin in an effort to keep it under control. When it gets bad, we use the creams which contain some steroid. I read an article in Parents magazine about Calendula cream. I bought some and used it over the weekend. Lo and behold, his eczema got significantly better within a week. I was wondering if anyone knows of any side effects of Calendula cream. It seems too good to be true. Thanks.

I can't find the article in Parents magazine which talks about this calendula cream being used for eczema.

Another mention of Calendula cream as an eczema home remedy for children is mentioned on some newsgroup archives:

For young babies with Eczema if you want to avoid cortisone preparations and are keen on more natural products Calendula cream works wonders. misc.kids FAQ on Eczema Part 2/2. www.faqs.org/faqs/misc-kids/eczema/part2/ (accessed September 29, 2009).

I don't hear of too many people using Calendula cream for eczema, but when they do, they seem to say it works really well.

It may be a good cream for infant eczema and might be something to ask your doctor about.
