divdiv PEczema is a skin condition that includes dryness, redness,
blistering, flaking, itching, swelling or bleeding. It is a very
painful and irritating condition that affects many people and is
most common in babies and children. While it is not contagious,
prevention and treatment of it through natural means can greatly
benefit your quality of life.PPThe two main types of eczema are
Atopic and Contact dermatitis. Atopic is a disease that is believed
to be hereditary and runs in the family. Contact dermatitis is
often a delayed reaction to an external irritant or allergen such
as poison ivy or certain kinds of soaps. Some less common forms of
eczema includePP Dyshidrosis which occurs on palms, soles and
fingers. BR Discoid appears on lower legs. BR Venous in people with
impaired circulation and adema in the ankle area. BR Dermatitis
herpetiformis occurs on arms, thighs, knees and back. BR
Neurodermatitis a patch caused by continual itching or rubbing BR
Autoeczematization a reaction to infection , virus or
parasites.PPThe most common natural cure for eczema is as simple as
the sun. Sunlight contains UV rays which aid in the healing
process. It attacks T cells that cause redness. It also helps to
burn off the scales or dead skin cells. While sunbathing can be a
great benefit getting too much sun can be just as harmful as it is
to others not suffering from eczema. This may lead to other
conditions namely skin cancer. Please, as always, sunbathe in
moderation.PPKeeping your skin moisturized is also important. Use
natural oils such as aloe vera and especially coconut oil. Try to
stay away from deodorant soaps, perfumes or powders. Using a
cleanser other than soap can be greatly beneficial. If you have to
use a soap use one that is rich in goats milk. It is also
recommended that you do not use a loofah or wash cloth when you
bathe. Dont scrub your skin when you dry off, pat dry only.
Petroleum used on the skin after a bath will help prevent anything
from entering into the skin.PPHerbs can also play an important
part. Apply a nutmeg paste directly to the skin. One teaspoon of
sandlewood mixed with one teaspoon of camphor can also be applied
to the infected area. Another sure fire way to clear up an eczema
is a mixture of mustard oil and margosa leaves. Boil the leaves and
mustard oil together and apply to the body four times daily.PPThere
are many ways to a natural cure for eczema. The best way to
determine what is right for you is trial and error. Every ones body
reacts differently and what doesnt work for you may work for
someone else. As always a healthy diet can greatly improve certain
skin conditions. Taking a close look at what you eat determines
whether or not your condition comes from something in your diet or
if its from an external source such as perfumes or even plants.
Finally, drink lots and lots of water. Water is essential and
cleans most of the bodys impurities.BR P div div div
