If you have had eczema for some time, you will have realised that there is no "cure" in the form of conventional medicine, only steroid creams and medication that are only ever a temporary solution which deal with the symptoms and can have bad side-effects with prolonged use.
Following are some natural eczema home remedies, to help you begin clearing your skin and start looking forward to a life without eczema.
Do you have an itching session every time you apply your skin moisturizer? If so, you may have an allergy to some of the ingredients used in the lotion.
Many skin lotions have perfumes and other irritants included in the ingredients which are simply not conducive to sensitive skin and eczema.
Try using organic skin creams with natural ingredients or non-perfumed, hypo-allergenic lotions.
Think about what you are eating.
Eczema is more often than not, triggered by foods which we have an allergy to.
Common offenders are, dairy products, wheat, nuts, food additives and alcohol.
You can have an allergy test performed at your doctors to determine if you have any allergies to certain foods.
You can then remove those foods from you diet, seeing an improvement in your skin.
Is your skin dry all the time causing you to become itchy and to scratch your skin? You may not be getting enough essential oils in your diet.
This is often the case when individuals embark on a low calorie diet, cutting out fat or reducing the fat levels.
You should include fat in the diet whether you are trying to lose weight or not.
As part of your eczema home remedies, focus on including unsaturated fats in the diet, such as olive oils and omega 3 oils found in oily fish.
