Natural Remedies to Cure Eczema
Many eczema sufferers, probably most, don't think there is help for them beyond the conventional medical system and its "one size fits all" approach of prescribing cortisone creams and pills to treat eczema symptoms. In fact there are many ways to treat eczema, to identify its root causes, and to find permanent relief, all without drugs and their consequent adverse side effects.
For many people with eczema, the root cause of their problem is an allergy, or maybe several allergies. Identify the allergies and the symptoms disappear or at the very least moderate greatly. The first step is to get allergy tests. Once the allergens have been identified, they can be eliminated from your environment.
Perhaps the best natural remedy for eczema, whether or not food allergies have been identified, is to change to an all-organic diet. Organic foods are not sprayed with pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, and are not fed chemical fertilizers. These chemicals leave residue on and in the foods, no matter how well they are washed, and you eat a small amount of these poisons every time you eat conventionally farmed foods.
If removing food allergens from your diet and eating all organic foods doesn't have the positive results you hoped for, it could be that your have a build up of toxins in your system, toxins that have built up simply because we live in a world where we are exposed to them constantly, from car exhausts, to chemicals in and on our foods, to chemicals we use every day around the house.
Another remedy that gets to the root cause of eczema is to do a detox cleanse to rid your body of the accumulation of toxins. There are numerous cleanses you can buy at any good health food store, but it would be wise to do your first cleanse with the help of a naturopathic doctor. During the initial stages of a cleanse you are not going to feel better like you expect. Toxins are being released from your cells and flushed out of your body, so you may not feel so good. In fact you might feel downright crappy, and a naturopathic doctor can support you through this.
As you can see, if you want to cure eczema, you don't have to rely on conventional medicine. This article barely scratches the surface of what is available for you in the way of natural remedies. With some study and some patience you will find relief that you have not known before using just natural therapies.
