Eczema is a very common annoying skin condition. It is very difficult to treat and the chance of recurrence is extremetly high. Very often, eczema is accompanied by dry skin.
If you have eczema and dry skin from young, like me, then you will know that topical treatments suggested by your western doctor are not going to solve the problem. These topical treatments more often than not, help to relieve the itchy symptoms during the period of application. But, the itchiness returns after a while, costing you more money, time, and heartache.
The difficulty in treating eczema lie in the difficulty in finding out the cause of eczema and dry skin in the first place. But there are things you can do to make the recurrence of flare-ups of these skin conditions few and far between.
One highly recommended way is to detox your body. Do you need to detox? Well, skin flare-ups are indications of toxins. Hence, if your body has a reaction, then you should examine what you put into your body. Ask yourself a few questions about your lifestyle and recent events in your life. By finding the cause, you may be able to treat, at least partially, your eczema and dry skin.
A detox diet program will require an analysis of your eating preferences. Do you eat processed foods and high amounts of sugar? These can inflame the skin and add to the toxins your body has to process.
In addition, are there certain foods that you are allergic to? Seafood has been found to trigger off a whole range of skin flare-ups. It took me more than 3 months to treat myself from just eating 3 prawns and 2 tiny squids during a seafood lunch.
Do you drink enough water? Without it, your body can't wash away accumulated toxins - through detox or any other method.
Do you exercise? Sweating facilitates the cleansing process and helps to eliminate toxins via the pores in the skin.
Finally, are you stressed out? Stress negatively affects many levels of your health and well being. When I am stressed, I find that I am more prone to scratching myself. Try to solve the cause of your stress and look for ways to relax.
A one-time detox is not likely to completely eradicate your eczema problem. However, as you detox more regularly and adopt more healthy lifestyle habits, then you will find that you are less likely to itch, scratch and bleed in the days ahead!
