Natural Cure For Eczema - Finding the All in One Treatment to Eliminate Symptoms and Complications

By Kevin P James

Skin ailments like dermatitis are frustrating, you have to deal with symptoms that never go away, and to top that there can be complications like bacterial or viral infections. Medications may work for the time being but as the ailments progress these lose effectiveness and sometimes, certain antibiotics trigger a flare-up. Your next option will be natural cure for eczema. Organic treatments not only possess the properties to eliminate symptoms but infections as well. There are two types of natural cure for eczema to choose from, the plant oil and non-oil based. The effects of these treatments were tested not just for eczema but for bacterial infections as well. Most are used for drug resistant bacterial strains like MRSA.

Plant oils like cold pressed organic oils from coconut and olive oil have special properties that can get rid of the symptoms, olive oil contains polyphenols that are antioxidants that inactivates free radicals. Virgin coconut oil on the other hand is made of medium straight chained fatty acids that are known to kill bacteria and helps in moisturizing the skin.

Essential oils are also from plant sources, those that contain phenol, a natural substance similar to alcohol, with aromatic properties. Thyme and oregano also have polyphenols and both are used on MRSA, and fungal infections. Tea tree oil should not be left out of the list, its powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effects are widely tested. It also resolves acne and fungal problems, very effective against seborrheic dermatitis because this type of eczema is sometimes caused by yeasts. Rosehip oil is both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory with its high levels of vitamin A and C. Vitamin A or retinol is used to regenerate skin cells, also used against photo or premature aging.

Tannins from all types of tea, guava leaves and parsley, among others all contain polyphenols that acts as antioxidants. Quercetin, a substance in polyphenols is under clinical tests in caring for eczema prone skin, naturally suppressing histamine production and release into the body's system. It is effective especially when used with ultrasound waves, for quick absorption.
Raw honey is also being tapped as a natural cure for eczema with four active antibacterial effects; in osmosis, release of hydrogen peroxide, high pH and non-peroxide activity called MGO. Already in used with diabetic ulcers when other antibacterial medications are not effective.

All of the treatments are organic, and there are no side effects as long as applied substantially but not excessively. Essential oils are too potent because these are concentrated; other oils are mixed for dilution. Choose your natural cure for eczema from these sources and you may even combine them with each type. Combining treatments is possible.

Natural Remedy For Eczema

By Leon Lioe

When it comes to skin problem and disease, one of the most common conditions is eczema. There are millions of people worldwide suffering from eczema and many are trying to combat the disease using natural treatments. There are many factors (both internal and external) that can cause eczema and the severity can range from a large area covered in bleeding, inflamed and infected sores to mild cases with just a few red rashes and itchy patches.

The most common types of eczema include atopic eczema which is extremely itchy and believed to be hereditary, and discoid eczema that often appears on the lower legs of older people as red patches of dry skin. Although doctors still have no solid evidence as to what causes eczema many causes have been linked to skin irritants, diets, stress, environmental pollution, and weak immune system.

In my humble opinion, the best remedy to combat with eczema is by strengthening your immune system and I also believe this is the most natural way of treating eczema. Strengthening immune system not only can help you to fight against eczema but also other common health problems such as colds or flu.

The first step in building a strong immune system is to start with your diets. This means you must start avoiding bad foods and start eating foods that can help to nourish your body from the inside out. You must also start to identify foods that trigger your eczema flareups as not all food triggers are the same for everyone.

Some of the most common food-allergy ezcema triggers are: eggs, cow's milk, peanuts, chocolate, sulfites, fish and food preservatives (for example, MSG). If you don't know your eczema food triggers then you need to find out through trial and error. Observe your skin reaction after consuming a food, if you eat something and eczema happens then you need to remove that food from your diet menu and avoid eating it again in the future.

As you can see, diet can play a crucial role in controlling eczema, by observing the food you eat and skin reactions, you will be able to understand the underlying cause of your eczema flare-ups. Having a nutritious diet is by far the best remedy for eczema!

You should also take nutritional supplements such as flaxseed oil, evening primrose oil and zinc. Studies show that these supplements are very effective in reducing the inflammation from eczema. They also have strong healing properties and can prevent eczema breakouts. However, be patient if you take supplements because you won't see immediate results. You'll need to take the supplements for a period of six months or longer to see the benefits.

What is the Best Eczema Home Remedy?

By Hal Hendricks

The good news is there are many, many eczema home remedies that work, and work well. The bad news is, unfortunately there isn't one "best" eczema home remedy. The reason is pretty straightforward. Eczema covers a multitude of symptoms, and yours might be different than someone else's, so what works great for one person might not work so well for you.

Because there are so many home remedies for eczema and because people are so miserable with the condition, they often grasp at the first "cure" they hear about, with mixed results. To avoid this hit-or-miss approach - and the frustration it can cause, spend some time to really analyze your symptoms. Saying, "It itches," isn't enough. What parts of your body is it on? What are its characteristics? Is it dry, is it oozing, is it flakey? When are the symptoms worst and when do they moderate? Do you get a flare up when you exercise, when you're stressed, when the weather is hot and humid, when it's cold and dry?

Allergies are a big cause of eczema flare ups. Allergies don't cause eczema, but they can manifest as eczema flare ups. As we are daily exposed to more and more toxins and chemicals in our environment, including in our homes, eczema symptoms are becoming more prevalent as our immune systems become overloaded and unable to cope. People often have food allergies that they may not even be aware of. For example, you may not be allergic to beef, but you may be allergic to a vitamin B component in beef. Before you start trying every eczema home remedy under the sun, it might be advisable to consult with your health care professional and get allergy tests.

Once you nail down your symptoms, once you determine what allergies you have, then you can begin looking at home remedies that have proven effective for your specific condition. By taking this approach you are less likely to experience frustration with remedies that don't work for you, less likely to waste lots of your time chasing down dead-end alleys, and more likely to quickly find an eczema home remedy that works for you - the "best" home remedy.
