What people are saying about our products:
Hila,
Your products are really great! For the first time, I really feel like we are turning the corner on my son's eczema with your products. And believe me, we have tried everything. The new Hemp salve is great too!! Thanks SO much for making these great products, I don't know what we would do without them! Sincerely,
- Stacy Blain, New York City, NY
I just wanted to let you know that once again your eczema cream, lotion and soap are working for my daughter. For nearly two months, the doctor told me to apply Nystatin and Neosporin on her face for a yeast infection (from her "drool") At times it seemed like it was getting better, then it was bad again... For two months, her cheeks and lips were red, chapped and had spots everywhere. As soon as I started using your eczema products, her face got better and better everyday. A week or so later, her face is clear and soft again. Now you can tell your other customers that your products work great on yeast infections as well - thank you!

Your oil is very good in the steam room - it doesn't dry off easily, unlike some other oils I've used. Also, I find the skin salve very soothing for my feet which has the worst eczema on my whole body. But my skin has improved a lot over the last one and a half months, and all that's left are scars from where I've scratched!
- Stella Akinisu, London, England
Hila,
I really liked the cream I bought from you for my daughter's eczema! It has a pleasing smell and doesn't go on greasy at all (she can't STAND anything too wet or greasy!!) She recently started on a new cream, called Tacrolimas (I'm not sure the spelling is right on that) - from the doctors at the Herman Medical School of Dermatology in Houston. They have treated her with such care and concern and have helped her tremendously. The medicine costs an arm and a leg right now.... it has cost us $877.00 so far - and that supply has to stretch! It's a drug used for preventing organ rejections during transplants and the FDA is going to approve the cream this year. The part that we are still having trouble with is her feet and ankles, because the skin is so thick and scarred there. The doctors say that it will just take more time. I still love the cream for moisturing that you sent us - it doesn't burn or smell "funny" - we have really enjoyed it and will be ordering some more in the future. I really appreciate your concern for us! Blessings for the holiday season!

I can not put into words how grateful I am to you for being here to make these great products for my skin problem! I have not been able to find any all-natural product that works as well, if not better than cortisone, because of the cumulative healing properties and no side effects. Best of all, it stops the itching! The eczema salve also seems to help heal cuts...? It just feels so great on my skin when I put it on. The longer I use the salve, the better my skin is getting to be; it has been appx. two months now. I will continue to update you for sure. Your Eczema Soap is also very soothing. Hila, whatever you do, please keep up the positive work! With much gratitude and appreciation,
- John Nenna, Philadelphia PA
Your Eczema Soap is the BEST thing I've used in my entire life! The dry patches on my face were completely gone in one day, I don't even need to use a moisturizer. Please keep it up and make more of this stuff - God bless you!
- Deborah Heminez, West Haven, CT
To everyone at Earthworm Herbals:
I am writing to you with great appreciation and gratitude for your Eczema Products! I'm twenty two, and for the past seven years I haven't put on a pair of shorts because my legs have been mutilated by weepy rashes and a deep purple color that was showing through my skin. I was constantly scratching my legs although it made the pain worse. At times, my legs broke out so badly that I had to limp because I couldn't straighten out my legs! I've used corisone creams so strong that I was told not to use it more than once a day. I've had medicated shots and also tried numerous herbal supplements. I've tried adjusting my diet just about every way imaginable. Anything to make myself more comfortable in my own skin. It is just absolutely torturous to abhore and be ashamed of your own body! I'm so thankful that I read about your products over the internet. I couldn't believe how fast I experienced such dramatic changes in my skin. I am now comfortable changing my clothes at the gym and when friends are around, I have even found myself looking for people with skin problems and telling them about your lotions. I feel forever indebted to your company, thank you so much!
-Rainee Doman, Falls Church, VA
Hello from England- and many thanks for the products received on May 23! Believe it or not, I can see the difference in my little girl's eczema already; the fiery nature of it has gone already. Once again, thanks! No doubt you shall be hearing from me again in the future.
-Mrs N. Millington, Swindon England
Thank you so much for your wonderful ECZEMA products! I am using most of them in dealing with my baby Megan's very severe case of eczema. Most of the doctors and specialists we have seen in Salt Lake City have told us that this is the worst case they have ever seen. Her entire body has been covered in rash, and her face has been the worst by far, with a solid, thick, oozing, red rash. She looked like a racoon because only a small area around each eye and her nose were free of rash! (We don't go many places because of all the shocked looks and stares we get!) I have tried many, many ointments, lotions, and two times on different kinds of steroids. The steroids would clear her off for a few days, then the rash would quickly come back while still using the steroid. Your Eczema Salve is, by far, the richest and most soothing topical remedy I have found. The soap, together with the salve, finally got rid of the awful cradle cap she had. They are so healing and provide so much nourishment and protection to her skin. It soothes it better than any other product I've ever tried. I want to tell you what I think about eczema a little bit, after all I've studied and learned from struggling with Megan. I believe that it's an internal problem, and only after I started using herbs and enemas to clean out her system, fight infection and build her immune system did the rash begin to clear. For many months, I have had to make everything I ate, because wheat, corn, dairy and soy and eggs are in just about everything and she was allergic to them all. (Megan is still mostly breastfed, and the only things she is allergic to now are dairy and eggs, making life much easier for me!) At this writing, her body is about 80% clear.
I really want you to know that your products have brought us great peace of mind, knowing there is something soothing and natural to use on Megan. They give her relief and help her along with the healing she needs so badly. And as allergic as she is, the Eczema Salve has never irritated her. I am going to use your products for all my children, whether they have eczema or not! (And they better NOT have eczema!!) Actually, from all that I've learned, I think I now know what to do to keep this from happening again. I could go on for many more pages but I really just wanted to thank you for your products. Out of everything we've tried in all the years of dealing with eczema, these are absolutely the best - they are lifesavers!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hello Earthworm Herbals!!
I've had a terrible problem with eczema all of my adult life (since I was a teenager) mainly on the front of my legs. I just wanted to write and say that in 23 years, I've never had such relief - literally I have not itched in four months since I started using your ECZEMA SALVE! I've had one jar and it's lasted all that time. I'm on my way out to get another one tonight (at Nature's Way in Stratford) but I just wanted to tell you what a great product you have here - if you ever want an endorsement from a "joe blow" you can definitely call me! This is the best stuff I've ever used and I recommend it to everyone I know who has skin problems, this stuff is just incredible! Many thanks,
- Greg Steger, Stratford CT
To the folks at Earthworm Herbals:
I just wanted to tell you that your poison ivy products work better than anything I've ever used in my life - and believe me I've tried everything out there! We have an entire front yard here on Cape Cod just full of poison ivy, and believe it or not you can even get it in December! Please keep making this incredible product! Sincerely,
- Kerry Burkhart, Harwichport MA
I have to tell you what a vast improvement I've seen in my son's skin since I purchased your eczema cream, salve and soap - it's almost completely clear! Thank you so much for making such wonderful products, they have really improved the quality of his life - he's not cranky and itchy anymore!
- Sharon McFadden Glassboro, NJ
Dearest Hila,
I wanted to let you know how terrific your new Hemp Salve is - my daughter had been given at least SIX different anti-itching medications by her doctor, none of which worked. But your hemp salve did it! It stopped her itching and she is finally getting better! I will be carrying it in my herb shop and I've decided that next week I will make your products a topic on our local radio health show (the radio guy who interviews me has used your cream and hemp oil on his daughter, so we have a lot to talk about!) I will definitely let you know what my customers are saying about them too, thank you!! Best regards,
- Catherine Catlin, Catlin Farms/Eat Right Health Foods, Belgrade, Montana
Hello! I have been a great fan of your Eczema Cream and also your Herbal Healing Salve for about 5 years. I used to have terrible outbreaks on my hands, but now with the cream and salve it is manageable. I have bought some as gifts for friends, which has prompted them to go nuts buying your products as well! My husband, the world's greatest skeptic, noticed that his rashes of many years suddenly disappeared after I rubbed some salve on them. Now, I have have a new baby (3 months old) and he too had eczema on his face until I applied your cream and salve on his cheeks. (I asked his doctor if it would be alright - they had never heard of your products or company, but were amazed when Toby's skin cleared up within a week) I gave them what was left of a jar, and now they're telling their patients about them. Thanks for making such a wonderful product!!
- Marjorie Coon, The Berkshires (MA)
Dear Hila,
I just wanted to let you know that in my Ohio skin care practice, I enthusiastically endorse your Eczema Skin Care Collection! Your eczema products have been particularly effective for mild to even very severe eczema and psoriasis, without the need for (or side effect from) steroid drugs. I particularly appreciate that your company will custom blend some of the products which I find very unique out there in a world where personalized attention like this is practically unheard of! Thanks lots for your valuable service!!
- Linda Hynds, RN Marion, OH
Dear Hila,
I need more Eczema cream and salve for Sam. I am very pleased with your product! It is richer than anything else I've found. His condition requires about 5-6 applications a day. I'd like to order 3 more jars of the cream and 3 jars of the salve. Thank you for the speedy shipment last time! A satisfied customer,
- Amy Brusca,, Plymouth, Michigan
Thanks so much for creating the eczema skin care collection. It has really helped to alleviate my baby daughter's eczema problem, which she has had since she was born. I don't know what I would do without your products! Kindest regards,
- Jessica C., Citrus Heights, CA
Thank you so much again for calling and taking the time to discuss what action I should take on my road to eczema recovery. As I told you. my eczema was quite acute, and I was applying topical steroids for so long that my skin was becoming incredibly thin - dangerously so. I found your products completely by accident at the Apothecary in Arlington, in a desperate attempt to find an alternative to steroids, and what an alternative! I applied the ointment 3-4 times a day for 3 days over the inflamed area on my skin and I was truly amazed. The lesions were healing!!!! They've never done that before. I will tell you that you are truly blessed and I am so thankful for finding this ointment of which I shall never be without - don't you dare stop making it - we'll all be scratching and red! It's the best and bottom line - it truly works! That's all I care about. God Bless!

To the folks at Earthworm Herbals:
Thank you so much for making these products! I first learned about Earthworm Herbals at our health food store in Connecticut. I was immediately drawn to the name and packaging, and very impressed by the purity and freshness of the natural ingredients. When I called to learn more, everyone was so caring and helpful. I sensed a real integrity in the company and herbalists. Then I tried some -- wow! Not only do they feel natural and soothing to the skin, these products work! I've had eczema for 30 years and been given oral, topical and even injected cortisone to manage the painful itching, blistering, and cracked dry skin. (You can imagine what 30 years of cortisone has done to my skin, and my system.) I tried your salve and resolved to never to use cortisone again--why should I? I feel good about using a pure product that gives natural, complete relief. When customers come in with eczema, poison ivy, burns, or any type of skin condition, I walk them right over to the Earthworm shelf and say, "THESE products are the best." Thanks again!
- Patricia from Foodworks , Guilford, CT
I am 28 years old and have suffered with eczema my entire life. I used to use cortisones and prednisones to relieve my symptoms, but realized that my condition would only worsen. After finding your cream, salve and soap on the Eczema Connection web site, I decided to give your products a try. I want to thank you for creating these natural based products - my skin has never felt better!
- T. Farabee Sebastopol, CA
At 33 years old I have been suffering with eczema ever since I can remember. Sometimes better and sometimes worse. Over the past few years I have been fortunate to have had a respite, but within the last 6 months or so it returned with a vengeance. I have been unable to find any relief. Then, one day, while visiting my brother in Connecticut, we stopped into his local health food store. When I asked the clerk to recommend something for eczema he immediately headed straight for a particular cream and gave it to me with great confidence.
That was about a month ago, when I began to use skin cream. Believe me, I had tried everything prior to that - every natural remedy and, when it became intolerable, the creams and ointments that the dermatologist prescribed - which provided only temporary relief. Your eczema cream was so rich and provided such relief that I couldn't believe it! I can't convey strongly enough what a treasure this cream is and what a relief it is not to be in constant pain, because I really was suffering a lot. And I feel great knowing that it is all natural. I look forward to Earthworm Herbals products being made available in New York so I can try them all!
(By the way, I asked my sister-in-law in Connecticut to pick me up some more cream, and when she tried to get it for me they told her it was so popular that they were out of stock - it all but walks off the shelf!) Thank you guys, I am truly grateful.

I want to thank you for responding so quickly to my telephone call regarding ordering information on your eczema collection. I would like to help spread the word about this cream because I think it is a miracle! I began suffering from eczema about 2 1/2 years ago, and I went to my physician who gave me a quick fix of cortisone cream. This worked fine as long as I took it for the ten days - then boom! out came the scratching and unsightly red blotches on day 11. I have tried everything - vitamin E, vaseline, evening primrose oil, cortisone cream over the counter, bag balm, wearing gloves at night with lotion, keratin lotion, etc. Some things worked well for a few days and then it was right back again to that itching that drives you insane. I eliminated coffee and have even tried to cut down on wheat products. But what I found to be the only consistent thing that worked has been a combination of the night salve and this amazing cream. My hand went from looking like I dipped it into red paint to being clear and itch free. I put a little salve on at night and again in the morning. And then during the day I can now just dab a little cream on because my hand is cleared up I do not have to constantly apply lotion - a blessing, because I can work without having sloppy, greasy hands. A big help has also been doing dishes with rubber gloves - but before the lotion, my hands would sweat and itch anyway. All I can say is that this lotion has allowed me to take my hand out of my pocket or from under my arm and not to be embarrassed by the red marks. I no longer itch until I bleed or cry. And it even smells nice! (And I love the earthworm, please do not get rid of him!!) Thank you again for your wonderful products!

I work at Goodness Foods Health Distributers in England, which is how I first found your products. My colleague first gave me your cream when I was in a lot of discomfort with eczema as I was wary of the cream which had been prescribed by my doctor; over a period of time it thinned my skin. So I was looking for an alternative. At first I'm sorry but I thought it was made of worms until it was pointed out it was not! I was very impressed by your product as I suffer with a dry eczema and it gave me a lot of relief and started to clear up within days and the red itchiness was almost gone in that time. I was also impressed that the cream didn't mark my clothes or my skin. You also said you have retail outlets in England; if you have any in Warwickshire or Leicestershire, please let me know as I would like to be able to buy some more!

Dear Hila,
I am writing to compliment you on your wonderful line of skin creams. I have tried many natural products from our local health shops and have only recently found your lovely collection of moisturizers and skin tonics. I've so far tried the calendula cream, and love the natural beeswax scent - the vanilla is especially heavenly! I have been unfortunate to have contracted Lyme Disease about 5 years ago living here in Connecticut, and often have to use IV antibiotics. I have found your creams, especially the eczema cream, is very soothing to my needle-punctured skin and the itching and burning that accompanies the treatment. I can feel the products are very healing as well as a delicious aromatherapy experience! My nightly ritual includes using your creams and salves, I actually look forward to it! I have enjoyed our two phone conversations; it's nice to know there are still people in companies out there that give their customers personalized service and time to chat. You have been willing and eager to help me with any questions and concerns I've had and I just wanted to thank you for your patience and your valuable advice! I feel that you are a very generous and genuine person and that is rare to find these days.
Thank you for being a loving healer in today's crazy world and please don't stop making your wonderful products!
- N. Knight Norwalk, Connecticut
I have ordered your eczema product before, and I just wanted to tell you that it is the only thing that helps seasonal allergic reactions I get on my ankles. I can remember having sores on my ankles every fall since the first grade and the salve is the first thing that has ever reduced the severity of the sores.
My mom also began using it on her hands because she is a nurse and they become very dry, cracked, and itchy with all that washing, and they do not heal properly. With the eczema salve she noticed almost an overnight difference in swelling and suppleness of her hands. I have never seen them look so good. I'm hoping that the tinctures have as noticeable effects. I just wanted to thank you for creating these products because we have a hard enough time finding creams and medicines we can use due to allergies to corn, milk, citrus, and other odds and ends, but this salve contains nothing or next to nothing that we have reactions to. Thanks again!

I have been suffering from a 6 week flare up of eczema. My eyelids were swollen, red and flaky and my face and neck red and itchy. When I started taking your Eczema Cleansing Extract a couple of days ago I had just about given up hope that I would ever be better. Today I am writing to you with eyes that are open and almost healed and skin that doesn't itch. I almost cried with joy when I looked in the mirror this morning. I believe the Cleansing Extract, combined with the Eczema Cream and acupuncture have been the answer to my prayers! Having done research on the herbs that help eczema I knew what to take but there isn't any other product that combines all the herbs into one formula. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for making me look and feel like me again!
- Colleen Parker
Hi Hila,
Just a quick note to say I love your products! My son seems to be tolerating them just fine. I feel so much better using them than steroids. I know they are safe. His extreme dryness is caused by his inability to digest fats and no lotion will 'cure' him. The lotions seem to help his skin heal though. I will definitely be reordering. Thanks so much!! Sincerely,
- Susan, New Jersey
Your Eczema skin care products are working wonders on my daughter's skin. She had a very bad case of atopic dermatitis on her face and neck a week or so ago. The doctor prescribed hydrocortisone for fear of secondary infection. I was reluctant to use it but had to for about 3 times and very sparingly. Hydrocortisone made it a little better but the spots were always there and would flare up throughout the day. When your products arrived, I stopped hydrocortisone completely and started using yours. Her face and neck got clearer and clearer everyday. Now the bumps are gone. Her cheeks still get red every now and then after feeding or when she's warm, but they look so much better than before. Most people just think she has very rosy cheeks. I am using the salve, cream and lotion as moisturizers now. Her pediatrician saw her again today and was totally amazed. She looked at the contents of your products and told me to keep using them. She made a note of your website. I believe she will be recommending your products to her other patients. Thanks again!
PS: I also wanted to let you know that my baby had a little bit of left over cradle cap that I just pretty much ignored. I used the soap/shampoo to wash her hair last week and it cleared up most of it. I scraped whatever was left with my nails. Great stuff! Hopefully, she will grow more hair now!
- Edwina Reiss
I am writing to tell you how much your eczema products have done for me. I have taken all kinds of preparations for years for my extensive eczema and nothing has ever done such a good job. After only a few days I saw a change, and now after a few months, I just need to apply it sparingly twice weekly to keep the condition in check. Thank you, Ms. Kummins for your wonderful products! I will always be grateful.
- Paul Haas, Fort Myers FL
Thank you for filling a niche in our pharmacy that was missing for many years. In the nearly five years we have been buying your products, your knowledge, reliability, and consistently superior products have increased our business both locally and through mail order. We ship Eczema Salve and Cream half way around the country, and your Poison Ivy Cream and Lavender Burn Salve sell equally as well. God Bless you!
- Alan Levine, Reg. Pharmacist, Bliss Pharmacy Longmeadow, MA
I began using Earthworm Herbals Eczema Skin Cream on my son one month ago. His Eczema was so severe that his legs would bleed and scab. My pediatrician recommended various baby creams and ointments with mineral oil which only made it worse. After trying numerous products without success, a homeopath gave us a sample of your cream. I was overjoyed to find that, for the first time since Parker was 4 months old, his legs felt smooth and healthy. I can't tell you what a relief it is to put his pants on without seeing him wincing in pain. I only wish I had discovered your products sooner!
- Annette Aleman-Wooden, Bergen NJ
Your Eczema Skin Salve has been the most effective non-pharmaceutical treatment for my infant's chronically acute cradle cap. It conditions her skin much better than plain Vitamin E cream or Eucerin, which were recommended by her pediatrician. In large measure because of your products, I have been able to wean her off hydrocortisone completely! With great thanks,
- Lydia Long, Pelham, MA
Eczema Skin Cream is my savior! Throughout the years I have tried every lotion and cream available. My closet is full of these creams and ointments that haven't helped me one bit. I have also tried many so-called "all-natural" products from health food stores without success, until now. I cannot describe how grateful I am about this discovery! When I first discovered your Eczema products I told everyone about them. I am passing along this information to anyone who suffers from chronic skin problems as I do. Your products have given me hope and happiness! I am not exaggerating when I say your cream is a miracle. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your loyal customer,
