How To Treat Eczema Naturally


Eczema or atopic dermatitis affects up to 15 million Americans and affects both males and females equally. The first signs are usually itchiness and redness of the skin on any part of the body. For adults and teens, it is usually on the hands, neck, inner elbow, ankles, knees, feet, or around the eyes.

Eczema can vary in severity from person to person ranging from small dry, red, and itchy patches or an extreme case wherein g most of the body is covered. In mild cases, there may be weeping, bleeding, and crusting on the affected area. Because eczema is so common today, it is no wonder that it is the most frequently referred condition to homeopathic clinics like ours.

On the other hand, since cases vary from patient to patient, our homeopathic treatments for eczema will cater specifically to the individual’s needs rather than a one size fits all situation. We will take the time to assess your condition’s leading cause and see to it that you are given the best natural cure for eczema.

Main Causes Of Eczema

Though there are some ideas as to why individuals develop eczema, the exact reasoning is not clear. This makes it even harder to understand as it can appear at any stage of life in almost any situation. But it is found that eczema is a form of dermatitis which sometimes develops in people who have allergies like asthma and hay fever. Eczema is also possibly due to genetic factors wherein it runs in the family.

Other potential causes are dry skin, which leaves it more vulnerable to irritants and infection or immune system dysfunctions, causing unwanted inflammatory responses to the skin. Certain substances or trigger factors could also be a cause, such as certain soaps or detergents, wool, skin infection, low humidity, emotional stress, and common allergens.

Can Eczema Be Prevented?

You can take some steps to prevent eczema from worsening or happening altogether, but there is no guarantee that they will fully help. But here are some ways to keep yourself from bouts and flares.

Use moisturizer often, twice a day if possible, even when there are no signs or symptoms present. Applying moisturizer while the skin is still moist after a bath can aid in locking in the moisture. You can also add oil to bath water to help moisturize dry eczema-prone skin. When it comes to clothing, the best choice is to go for cotton of cotton-mixes rather than wools or synthetics.

Avoid anti-bacterial soaps, instead use mild non-fragrant liquid choices, emulsifying ointments, or water-dispersible creams. Also, keep your showers short and use warm instead of hot water. After bathing, gently pat dry rather than rub your skin to prevent irritation.

While eczema is common, it has become highly treatable. Many patients have found benefit in the remedies provided by Homeopathic Medicine Online in relieving their discomfort with chronic eczema or eczema bouts and flares.
