So, let us take a look at what causes eczema outbreaks in the first place. You will not be informed about this from any doctor or dermatologist as their focus is continuously on the surface of the problem, and more particularly on "triggers".
There are actually many different and individual triggers of eczema outbreaks. It may be everything from specific kinds of cleaning soap, food, or even climate conditions. Nevertheless, what triggers eczema has little to do with what really causes eczema problems.
So, what leads to eczema problems if triggers aren't it? In short, eczema comes about as a side-effect of slow and constipated digestion. Typically the onset will be in early childhood as the child is exposed to the unhealthy and terrible food combinations of the westernized diet.
Some people will be able to adjust and adapt to this diet, and that is why eczema problems sometimes fade away as the child grows older. That being said, the eczema problems could also become worse as you get older.
When digestion is slow and constipated the foodstuff will harden in the digestive tract as water is extracted from it. Obviously, this will lead to even more digestive troubles and constipation, and it's really a vicious spiral to say the least. As the hardened food is forced along its way, it will literally wear down the shielding mucus lining of the digestive tract and the colon.
The consequence is that the lining of the digestive tract will become sore and irritated. This means that a significant quantity of toxins will in fact be re-absorbed right back into the bloodstream.
This constant and daily excess of poisons in the blood has to be expelled from the system one way or another. So, unsurprisingly the system does what it usually does with excess toxins, it expels them via the sweat.
Eczema symptoms appear as a result of an overload of poisons being expelled through the skin. Eczema symptoms generally appear like a chemical burn, and that's more or less what it actually is. The overload of poisons that are expelled through the skin will burn away the layers of the skin in the process.
The terrible itch comes as the load of toxins irritate the nerves as the system forces them out through the sweat. It is not unusual to see minute blisters crammed with poisons appearing right prior to an eczema outbreak.
If you are afflicted by eczema you have perhaps observed that the itch seems to sit deeper than the immediate outside of the skin. The itch will be felt beneath the utmost layers of the skin, and the desire to scratch can be unbearable to say the least. Typically, if or when you scratch you will see the external layers of the skin break apart, and the rash will be irritated and weeping afterwords.
