Why would manuka honey help with eczema itching when creams burn my skin?

I get eczema patches on my arms too and it’s honestly the worst. I’ve tried doing thin manuka honey masks on the flare-ups—just a light layer, leave it on for about 15 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. It doesn’t magically clear it up, but it really takes the edge off the itch and makes my skin feel less tight and angry afterward. It’s more like soothing relief than a cure, but when you’re desperate, that little break from the sting is worth it.

Side note—has anyone actually ordered directly from manukasouth.com? That’s the site I keep seeing pop up, but I’m not sure if it’s the safest place to buy from.
