subject: Effective Tips To Naturally Take Care Of Eczema [print this page] Eczema can be treated with over-the-counter prescription pills but they do not work in all cases. There are several ways you can treat eczema using natural treatment methods. In this article, I will reveal some tips to get rid of eczema naturally.
Vitamin E and Powdered Goldenseal root. This fabulous easy to do mix helps reduce the itch and pain, and also has properties that will help your skin heal more quickly. Use a little honey and add the ingredients and apply directly to the skin.
Creams and lotions can be used in order to reduce the itching and swelling. However, you need to look for the natural products instead of chemical products. So, using creams or lotions which consist of natural ingredients are highly recommended.
I believe a persons diet does have some part to play in the flare up of eczema although this is not the only factor, this can play a key role. Ensure your diet is healthy and avoid foods such as eggs, caffeine, chocolate, cereals, milk and citrus fruits, which may cause allergic reactions.
A gentle cleanser is necessary to remove dust accumulated during your daily chores. Just make sure all ingredients are natural and it does not contain perfumes that affect your skin. This will help you avoid allergens and irritants that can enter in contact with your skin.
Keep a bottle with you at all times and make sure to use it every time you wash your hands (before eating, for example) to keep your hands clean but without irritating your skin.
Keep A Food Diary: Maintaining a food diary or a journal can help a long way to monitor and control the food that you are consuming. It is amazing how often we are sucked into temptations. How many times have you been tempted to taste that cake at your friend's birthday party or at office for your colleague's anniversary party? Also it will help you understand the diet that works best for you over a period of time. You will be able to understand what combination of foods work best and what combination aggravates your condition.
Be A Researcher: Note down everything and anything that you do. I mean right from the food you eat to the clothes you wear to the detergent you use. Buy a personal journal and note down everything. Are you feeling an allergic reaction when you eat a particular combination of foods? Does your skin feel irritated when you interact with pets? Do you feel better when you follow a particular routine? You have to understand your body and how it reacts.
