Eczema Diets

Eczema Diets for Eczema Relief

Western medicine practitioners believe that eczema is a skin condition that has little to do with the food we eat.

Complementary medicine practitioners believe the condition is more than skin deep and has everything to do with what we consume.

Naturopathy a system or method of treating disease that employs no surgery or synthetic drugs.

It uses special diets such as eczema diets, herbs, vitamins, massage, etc., to assist the natural healing processes.

Practitioners advocate the use of herbal medication to relieve skin problems. They believe that herbal preparations work through their anti-inflammatory, antihistamine activities that help control the itching and pain.

These medications also have diuretic activity that eliminates the toxins through urine, purify blood and prevent damage caused by free radicals in the body. Such herbs include neem, triphala and manjishta.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal supplements have also been used for treating these skin conditions.

Allergies are more common in individuals with eczema. Food allergy is suspected in the following circumstances:

• Significant indicators of allergies, such as gastrointestinal symptoms. Examples of gastrointestinal symptoms include nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea and colic in infants
  
• Hives
  Eggs, milk, peanuts, soya beans, wheat, fish and tree nuts (for example, walnuts and cashews) are responsible for 85 per cent of all food allergies.

Hence, eczema diet plays a very important role, at least, according to TCM and naturopathy practitioners.

However, before people leave Western medicine for Eastern, do take the following precautions:

• Check out the practitioner’s qualification Is it recognized by relevant regulatory bodies in your country? Have they been trained in well-reputed universities which offer natural therapy courses
  
  
• Verify the herbal products prescribed Are the safe for consumption? Have they been tested according to the World Health Organisation pharmaceutical standards for heavy metal and microbial contamination?

We shouldn’t discount Western medicine either. For severe flare-ups, antibiotic treatments may be required to combat the infections.
