Natural remedies for eczema include vitamins, minerals, and herbs found in supplements, healthy foods, and topical solutions. There are eight different types of eczema but the most common is called atopic dermatitis. A diagnosis is usually made based upon the location and condition of the rash. Several causes associated with atopic dermatitis include food allergies, soap and related irritants, stress, and heredity. The condition can be treated with conventional products or by using home remedies for eczema. Dermatitis should be treated to help with general discomfort caused by itching, burning and possible infection. Natural remedies are best in most cases but when dermatitis is not responding then a person should consult with a physician for evaluation and treatment. When a person is plagued by dermatitis it is comforting to remember the scriptures; "And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people" (Matthew 4:23).
Different types of eczema include atopic, allergic contact, irritant contact, seborrhoeic, nummular, neurodermatitis, stasis, and dyshidrotic. Some of the causes include contact with an allergen or irritant, problems with circulation, being under stress for a prolonged period of time, and heredity. Location of the rash on the body can provide clues to the type of dermatitis a person is suffering from. The most common atopic rash tends to be predominantly hereditary and often accompanies other health problems associated with allergies such as asthma and hay fever especially in children. Some children fortunately seem to outgrow conditions associated with allergies and eczema. However, they still may be prone to have recurring bouts throughout their lifetime. Being aware of irritants and using natural remedies for eczema can help minimize future occurrences.
Conventional treatments of eczema are topical steroids, topicals that are steroid free, and antihistamines. Topical steroids should be used with caution and not for prolonged periods of time. Side effects could result with overuse such as thinning of skin, bruising, fluid retention and illness including but not limited to diabetes and high blood pressure. Because of the dangerous side effects associated with steroids many people prefer to use natural remedies for eczema. Natural topicals contain herbs, vitamins, and other natural ingredients such as vitamin E, chamomile, aloe vera, ginseng, ginger, cinnamon, red clover, goldenrod, and licorice. Topicals can be found in gels, lotions, and creams with a variety of herbs, vitamins, minerals as well as including antioxidant compounds.
Food allergies can trigger and aggravate dermatitis. Some of the common foods that may do so include dairy products, peanuts, food preservatives, eggs, and citrus fruits. Other foods to avoid include ones high in sugar, caffeine, alcohol, products containing white flour, and coffee. Home remedies for eczema that seem to help the symptoms include raw fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, flaxseed, and fish that contains omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, mackerel, halibut, and rainbow trout. Drinking plenty of water and getting plenty of sleep are essential for healthy skin. Stress is something that should be avoided if possible because it can aggravate skin problems and be a major detriment to health.
Environmental factors can irritate dermatitis and should be avoided if possible. Cigarette smoke, air and water pollutants, chlorine, mineral oil, dust, mold, detergents, and perfumes are a few. In addition, some fabrics aggravate the symptoms of eczema such as wool and other synthetic fibers. Home remedies for eczema includes healthy choices that won't aggravate the itching and burning caused by dermatitis. Stick to clothing that is 100% cotton and wash fabrics in soaps and detergents that contain no dyes or perfumes. Avoid lotions and cosmetics that contain chemicals, fragrance, and other irritants. There are many products today that have organic ingredients including some cosmetics and cleaning products.
Individuals who suffer with eczema will want to be careful when it comes to choosing bath soaps. Avoiding products that are drying or that irritate the skin can minimize symptoms of intense itching and burning. For the person who prefers using a bath bar choose herbal and organic bars. The most moisturizing choices can be found in a body wash or shower cream. Some natural remedies for eczema include organic products with added ingredients such as grapeseed oil, zinc, vitamin E, carrot juice, rosemary extract, algae extracts, olive oil, avocado oil, almond oil, honey, and additional herbal extracts. When bathing try lukewarm water over hot water to avoid drying out skin and apply organic moisturizer while the skin is still damp.
The discomfort associated with atopic dermatitis can be triggered by many things and for that reason it is crucial that irritants are identified whether they come from environmental sources or from internal sources. Something to think about when concentrating on home remedies for eczema is to pay attention to flare ups after eating certain foods. There are allergy tests for some foods and even some outside irritants but allergists often suggest eliminating suspecting foods and reintroducing them one at a time to uncover the culprit. This can be done at home with a little bit of preparation and observation. Once the culprits are identified it will be much easier to avoid outbreaks of dermatitis.
Intense scratching can increase the chances for infection with any type of dermatitis. The appearance of the skin will appear thickened and will be darker when a bacterial infection is present. Dermatitis that becomes infected may swell, crust, and ooze. Seeing a physician is important when this happens because antibiotics and antihistamines may need to be prescribed. Antihistamines will control the itching and provide some relief from discomfort and the antibiotics will clear up the infection. See a physician when there is a possibility of infection rather than relying on home remedies for eczema.
