ECZEMA
Since we recently discussed Asthma in our Health Tip, I thought it would be appropriate timing to include the close link and relationship of Eczema or Atopic dermatitis. Eczema is characterized by chronic itching and inflammatory skin that is thickened and very dry. The skin in individuals with Eczema tends to be overgrown by bacteria, especially Staphylococcus aureus. It is commonly found on the face, wrists, and inside of the elbows and knees. Although it may occur at any age, it is most common in infants, and particularly infants and children with asthma.
Other risk factors for developing some form of eczema include, positive family history (66% of individuals with eczema have an immediate family member with the condition), positive allergy test (skin and food), weakened immune system, low stomach acid, stress, and nutritional deficiencies. So, if you are suffering from any of the above symptoms, consider your everyday environment and any possible allergens or toxins, evaluate soaps, cosmetics, perfumes, anti-perspirants-deodrants and any changes in laundry detergents as possible causes to onsets of this very uncomfortable skin condition. And remember, natural products can be very helpful.
Natural Remedies For Eczema
Eczema, also known as Dermatitis, can be quite bothersome during the spring. This inflammation of the skin can be triggered by pollen allergies. Other causes can be food allergies, stress, candidiasis (yeast overgrowth), leaky gut syndrome, cold or hot weather, etc. It can be inherited by family, especially from those with a history of hay fever or asthma. There are several different types of eczema causing symptoms such as scaling, flaking, thickening, weeping, crusting and itching of the skin. Atopic dermatitis is associated with individuals that have allergies. It is normally found on the face and in the bends of elbows and knees. This is also the type of eczema that typically occurs in children. “About one out of every 10 kids develops eczema.” KidsHealth
It is important to avoid scratching the inflamed area, skin infections such as herpes and staph frequently occur. Applying a good cream or ointment daily is necessary to maintain moisture, a simple petroleum jelly will do. Be sure to apply it 5 minutes after bathing, this will help with absorption. Keeping skin clean, moist and free of allergens, as well as harsh chemicals will help to alleviate symptoms.
In addition to taking care of skin on the outside, taking care of skin on the inside is equally important. Drinking plenty of water is a start. Other things that you can do are to detoxify the bad stuff (toxins) and take in the good stuff (vital nutrients). One recent study suggests the intake of “friendly” bacteria like Lactobacillus during pregnancy can prevent the development of atopic eczema in high-risk children. Antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Zinc are important for combating toxins. In general, kelp and B Vitamins are also important nutrients for healing tissue and healthy skin. Take an EFA supplement (Essential Fatty Acids). Lipids and fatty acids are necessary for cardiovascular (eg. cardiolipin), neurological and dermatological health (eg. linoleic and linolenic acids). One other important supplement to consider is Betaine HCL (Hydrochloride), because people with dermatitis often have low levels of hydrochloride.
You can find all of these vital nutrients in the following Växa Products:
