Choosing Natural Remedies for Eczema

Natural Eczema treatments help clear the skin and stop the itching and pain. More importantly, they can control inflammation in the body and address personal sensitivities that cause flare-ups to return. In addition, a healthy diet and the right supplements help balance the body and strengthen the immune system for fewer complications like eczema. Dr. Robert Lichtenstein used a similar plan when fighting stage 4 cancer.

Doctor Lichtenstein overcame cancer twice by understanding the need to give the body what it must have to fight illness and stay healthy. He is a Board-Certified Nutritional Specialist and a Chiropractor. His wellness plans address the cause of health problems rather than cover up or reduce the symptoms. His success encouraged him to share his knowledge with others.

Traditional medical eczema remedies often include steroids and other prescription medications taken orally or used topically. The medicine may clear the rash successfully, but it is not a cure and cannot always stop the next flare-up. Many of the drugs used also have potential side effects. Practitioners using natural remedies look for the cause of the problem to determine a permanent solution. They understand patients do not want to spend their lives constantly seeking relief.

Dr. Lichtenstein practices functional medicine and uses holistic, natural remedies to address the cause of your symptoms. Not merely just treating the symptoms. Nothing replaces a free consultation with Dr. Lichtenstein and hearing what your options are.

Symptoms of Eczema 

Eczema describes various skin conditions. It can include atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, Dyshidrotic eczema, hand eczema, and many more. The variations can mean people experience different symptoms and have a rash that appears in various locations from one flare-up to the next. Experiencing any of these symptoms is a sign of needing some medical attention.

• Thick, scaly skin on hands

• Tiny blisters on the hands or feet

• Intense, unbearable itching

• Redness of the affected area

• Oozing and scaly rashes

• Pain where the rash develops
• Skin color changes
• Blisters
• Secondary skin infections
  

Causes of Eczema

Eczema has many causes, and everyone with the condition will have specific triggers that cause their skin to react. Some of the most common causes include:

• Sensitive skin
• Dry skin
• Exposure to chemicals
• Allergic reactions
• Cold, dry air
• Weather changes
• Stress
• Illness
• Underlying diseases
• As a reaction to a medication
  

Potential Risks of Leaving Eczema Untreated

Children who experience eczema will often outgrow the condition. However, those who develop it in adolescence or adulthood may have it for the rest of their life. Anyone with eczema should keep a journal of their flare-ups to help determine the triggers that cause the itching to begin. Non -prescription balms and creams may help, but professional treatment remains necessary. Eczema will not go away on its own and can worsen if people use the wrong products or misidentify their triggers.

The risk for people with untreated eczema is infection. Most people will experience very few permanent marks from their eczema rashes when they have reliable help to control them. However, leaving them untreated can allow secondary infections to begin. The intense itching makes it almost impossible to stop scratching. Scratching transfers bacteria from the hands and nails to the skin. Broken skin can allow bacteria to enter the body. Once an infection develops, it can spread over the skin rapidly and could enter the bloodstream. A widespread infection can take a lot of time and medical care to overcome.
