Natural Remedies For Healing Eczema

The effects of eczema can be difficult to manage. Our skin is the largest organ of the body and is responsible for eliminating toxins from the body.

When the body is out of balance due to stress or allergens, the skin is one of the first places that can be negatively affected, and there are many natural remedies that can help improve symptoms.

If you go to the drugstore to get a healing cream, it may provide some relief, but it is only skin deep. Often times the cream works for a little while, but does not give effective long-term relief. To really treat the underlying causes of eczema breakouts, you need to eliminate toxins and support your skin with natural remedies so that all that stress doesn’t end up on your hands and face.

Internal Stress Relief

Although the effects of eczema are only seen on the outside of the body, there can be internal causes for the symptoms as well. Everyday pollution, poor food choices and stress can all contribute to break-outs, and fortunately there is something you can do about it.

* Water helps to flush out toxins and is important for healthy, glowing skin.

* Drinking Aloe Vera juice daily supports and nourishes your skin from the inside.

* Vitamin E supplements help to repair tissue and soften skin internally.

* Breathing and meditation exercises reduce the stresses that cause symptoms.

* Eliminate known food allergens such as dairy, wheat and peanuts to see if symptoms improve.

Surface Tension Tamers

What we put on our skin, and the environments that we work and live in can have immediate effects on bouts of eczema. It is important to support healthy skin by using only natural, quality body products, and eliminating sources of pollution that can have negative effects.

* Use a humidifier in your office or bedroom to increase the moisture content in the air. This will prevent the precious moisture of the skin from being sucked up into the atmosphere, exacerbating dry, flaky skin.

* Aloe Vera gel can be used externally to heal and soothe patches of eczema.

* Apply a warm compress of almond oil and a pinch of ground turmeric to affected areas. Leave on for 15 minutes and gently wash off excess.
