Why people make this wash

Eczema in children — and in adults — tends to flare in autumn when the air turns dry, or in summer heat when sweat and humidity irritate already-sensitive skin. This simple two-herb decoction is a long-standing Cantonese household remedy: brew it, let it cool to a comfortable temperature, and apply it to the affected area with a soft cloth. It is not a cure, but many families have found it helps ease the itch while gentler skin conditions settle down.
