Eczema Facts

Posted by Admin on January 14th, 2010 filed in Health

Eczema affects approximately 1 percent of the population. People have varying symptoms from slight itching to reactions so bad that they swell and skin flakes off. Unfortunately, eczema often appears on the face and hands where it is obvious to others. Often food sensitivities and stress make eczema worse.

Consider an elimination diet if you are bothered by eczema. This can help determine what foods you are sensitive to. Next, you must strive to reduce your stress. Start taking zinc supplements. Stop taking baths because they dry out you skin–shower quickly instead. Lastly, expose your skin to direct sunshine whenever you can.

Our son had severe Eczema since he was a baby and we went through so many treatment options for him and nothing really worked – they just seemed to cover up his symptoms at the minimum. We were fortunate enough to be able to wean him off of oral steroids and we started natural remedies! We have found our miracle in giving him a children’s chewable probiotic. We found Bellyboost for kids and he not only loves them but they work! He started clearing up dramatically within the first week of taking them and has been nearly free of his Eczema now for a whole year. They are amazing and I cannot say enough great things about this for others who have this awful skin condition!!! For a moisturizer – I highly recommend pure olive oil in the bath as this works great as a non-irritating moisturizer!
