The results were confirmed in lab tests, where the pentaherbs formulation was added to blood cells in a test tube.

"These early studies show that children with atopic eczema may benefit from a specific concoction of traditional Chinese herbs, which could eventually pave the way for this remedy to find its way into mainstream medicine," BBC quoted Nina Goad, of the British Association of Dermatologists, as saying.

"However, we would warn against using Chinese herbal medications without first speaking to your doctor.

"Some retailers may not be reputable and the product they sell you may be of a low standard or could contain harmful ingredients," Goad added.

The study is reported in the British Journal of Dermatology.
