3 Best Ways To Cure Eczema

Eczema is a skin condition where there is inflammation of the upper layers of the skin. Eczema rash is one of the main symptoms of eczema along with dryness of the skin and itching. There are various types of eczema as well as atopic eczema, contact dermatitis, xerotic eczema and seborrhoeic eczema among several others.

There are three main ways to cure eczema. They are creams and medicines, diet change by eating more fruit and vegetables and the application of oils like neam or coconut oil.

Diet tweaks are also advised by dermatologists as some foods are capable of triggering symptoms of eczema. Also, digestive problems like acidity need to be alleviated as these too can have a bearing on eczema episodes and trigger symptoms. But did you know that one of causes of eczema is acidity in the digestive system. If you can get rid of the acidity you can get rid of the eczema. Cooked foods require enzymes for digestion and your body holds a limited supply of these enzymes. So for the sake of your skin, for high vitamin and minerals and to slow down aging, eat raw foods which are full of enzymes such as pineapple, bean sprouts and papaya. Coconut oil works very well for Infant or baby eczema on the scalp or other body areas. It soothes the rough patches or itchy rashes.

Babies, children and adults with eczema have skin that is sensitive to any or many substances such as soap, detergents, wool, make-up, cosmetics, lipstick, mascara, nail polish, shampoos, and many others. Natural eczema treatments are unsurpassed to cure eczema and I have found that virgin coconut oil is the unsurpassed for healing eczema and/or dermatitis. If eczema is on your hands use coconut oil 4 or 5 times a day.

Some lotions like Calamine can be used to keep the skin cool and put a stop to dryness of the skin. Harsh soaps and detergents are to be avoided as they can irritate the skin and trigger symptoms of eczema. Also, it is most excellent to avoid any gentle of irritation to the skin through use of perfumes and deodorants that can increase itching and appearance of rashes.

So the advise is to look for a natural eczema cure. Anything unnatural creates more toxins and will only irritate the body and this just in the long run cause the eczema condition to become worse.
