Treating eczema naturally starts by understanding the whole concept of health, at a holistic level.

The skin is the least important organ of the body. Because of this, it is the first organ of preference by your body, to eliminate toxins or stresses within. 

The skin symptom may be unsightly and/or irritating, but on its own, it is never serious or life threatening. It’s a harmless outlet.

However, that can change with suppressive treatment, whether in an oral (medical drug) or a topical form.

When you suppress the symptoms, then this harmless outlet is denied and the body has to search for other outlets to relieve the pressure that builds up. This can be the kidneys, the liver, the heart, the nervous system – all far more important organs.

So your first job in treating eczema naturally is to understand what it is your body is trying to do and address that, by supporting your body’s best efforts.

If you have eczema or any other skin condition, it’s a warning sign that all is not well within. Toxins are building up to the point they need to be eliminated. As this often comes from a poor diet, this is always the best place to start.

The typical western diet consists of a lot of processed food, unnatural food and food lacking in nutrition. 

It is usually high in animal protein, which doesn't suit our anatomy and physiology.

Cooking especially in a microwave and especially fried foods or foods cooked in oil are not supportive of vital health.

All these contribute to a lowered immunity and high toxicity.

If you can change that to a diet high in fresh fruit and vegetables, much of it raw, to focusing on whole food rather than processed food, to eliminating (or at least drastically cutting back) on both processed food and animal protein, you are well on the way to successfully improving your health and immunity.

This diet can also eliminate the toxins through the natural elimination channels. Thus reducing the body’s need for skin conditions such as eczema.

The medical industry does not understand what the body is trying to do. All it cares about is to remove the offending symptom.

Sadly, the public has bought into this idea, thereby seriously damaging their health.

Steroids, cortisone, steroidal topical cream are all highly damaged to the immune system and so your health. Organ damage and then failure are common end results.

By replacing any suppressive treatment with natural products, you are further supporting your body’s attempt to deal with this imbalance.

Treating eczema naturally starts with understanding that your body is wise and keeps giving you hints to help you stay healthy.

Make sure you drink when you’re thirsty – preferably water, that is not stored in a plastic bottle. Don’t attempt to drink gallons, just ensure you do drink when you’re thirsty. Don’t wait until you have a break.

Suppressive creams can be effectively replaced by the topical application of calendula. Calendula is a safe herb and has a huge ability to gently sooth and ease skin conditions. It can be bought in the form of a cream, but make sure the carrier is a natural base, rather than a petroleum one. Petroleum bases will exacerbate skin conditions. Sorbalene (and anything ending in ‘ene’) are petroleum based.

Aqueous bases are also petroleum based.

Look for ingredients such as lanolin, olive oil or nut oil bases.

When you begin to understand the way your body works, then you are in a better place for treating eczema naturally in a deep, thorough and permanent way.

Homeopathic treatment can further speed this natural process along, without producing any ill effects.
