Has anyone tried oatmeal baths for soothing Eczema?!

Has anyone tried oatmeal baths for soothing Eczema?

i've heard a few people mention that oatmeal baths are good for soothing Eczema.

I was wondering if anyone has tried this and if so how well did it help you?
Also What oatmeal did you use,how long did you soak the oatmeal in bath before getting in etc.....

thanks

Oatmeal baths help relieve the itching associated with eczema. Use warm not hot water as hot water dries the skin.
Here are 2 recipes to make your own oatmeal bath... much cheaper than buying the packets.

MAKE YOUR OWN COLLOIDAL OATMEAL BATH

1 cup oatmeal (quick or slow-cooking)

Blend or process the oatmeal in your blender or food processor until you have a very fine powder (pulverized). This helps the oatmeal absorb liquid.

To test the colloid property of your oatmeal, gently stir 1 tablespoon into a glass of warm water. If the oatmeal readily absorbs the water and give it a milky look and a silky feel, you've processed it enough. If the oatmeal simply sinks to the bottom of the glass, it needs to be processed further.

Sprinkle the oats into a tub of running water and stir the water with your hand several times to ensure even distribution.

Oatmeal Bath for Eczema or Dry Skin
4 cups oatmeal
1 fine net or old stocking

Place the oatmeal in the net; tie closed. Position the oatmeal-filled net in your bathtub so the water runs directly over the oatmeal and into the bath. Get in the bath, then you and the oatmeal should soak 15 to 30 minutes. If desired, remove the oatmeal from the net and pack on swollen, red, irritated skin.
