If you are suffering from Itchy Skin Eczema, there is good news – Natural Remedies can help you Beat Eczema!
What Are The Key Symptoms
1) Itchy, red rash-like patches of skin that are dry, rough, scaly or cracked
2) Small red pimple-like blisters
3) Leaking ("weeping") of fluid, crusting and flaking in affected areas
4) Chafing and peeling
5) Thickened, dry patches of skin in persistent cases
6) Itching, swelling and inflammation in lower legs and around ankles (stasis dermatitis)
Eczema can be aggravated by contact with various substances, including animal fur, plant allergens, such as poison ivy and poison sumac, jewellery containing chrome and especially nickel (watchbands, rings, earrings), cosmetics (including nail polish), fragrances, deodorants and antiperspirants, shaving lotions and skin creams, different types of fabrics (particularly wool and silk), dyes, latex and rubber, leathers, and household cleaning agents (including dishwashing and laundry detergents.
Other factors associated with outbreaks of Eczema are dry air; too much sun; stress; topical medications and certain drugs, such as penicillin; hot baths; and exposure to dust, pollen, and animal dander.
Soothing creams and ointments can help to lessen the excruciating itchy skin of Eczema--and it's important not to scratch, as this can worsen the condition.
How Natural Oil Supplements Can Help
In addition to the use of external ointments, a variety of nutritional oil supplements can also provide relief.
Because people respond differently to supplements, many Eczema sufferers have to try several before they find one (or a good combination) that works well for them.
Evening primrose oil (in capsules, soft gels, or liquid) contains essential fatty acids that can help revitalize the skin and relieve itching and inflammation. Studies have shown that recommended daily doses of evening primrose oil can reduce the need for creams. Alternatives to evening primrose oil are the less expensive black currant and borage seed oils.
Flaxseed oil contains equal amounts of both omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, which can be helpful in the treatment of any chronic allergic condition, including Eczema.
Fish oils were found to relieve chronic Eczema in a double-blind study. They appear to work by reducing levels of leukotriene B-4, a substance in the body involved with the inflammation of Eczema. Eating cold-water fish regularly is the best source for fish oils, but if you're not a fish fan, you can always take fish oil capsules.
Grape seed extract is rich in flavonoids (antioxidant substances that inhibit the body's allergic responses). Grape seed extract can help relieve and prevent the itchy skin flare-ups of Eczema.
These are just some tips for relieving the itch of Eczema with Natural Oils. In order to eliminate your Eczema, you will need a complete BEAT ECZEMA System.
