What is Eczema?
|
Eczema is a serious advanced skin
illness that causes painful skin bleeding and extreme
sensitivities to sun light and moisture among other irritants.
It is suspected that eczema is caused by a yet unknown virus. It
can strike any part of the skin, but mostly the parts that are
most exposed to stress and sunlight and moisture such as the
hands, feet and face.

Traditional Eczema
treatments
|
Eczema traditionally can only be
managed externally rather than cured completely with ointments
and external skin treatments. Ointments and cosmetic procedures
that do not get to the root cause of eczema. Many eczema
patients are advised to avoid exposing their skin to water and
sun light, but this is not reasonable and it only reduces
irritation. There is no traditional western medicine cure for
eczema, as is the case with so many illnesses.
Available Eczema treatments can be classified as medicine of the first
and second degree among the seven levels of medicine. The
current Eczema medications are expensive, not offering a cure
and have harmful side effects. |

Eczema and eastern
medicine
|
Eczema is an extreme YIN condition
as all skin disorders are. Skin is the outermost organ in our
bodies. Any illness that has reached the skin and tends to
spread is YIN rather than YANG. Just like all acquired
illnesses, eczema can be treated with the proper selection of
foods. You can read more about YIN and YANG in the seven laws of
the universe.

Eczema natural alternative
treatment and cure
|
Just like most skin
illnesses, with the proper selection of foods eczema is
completely curable. It can be treated with a carefully designed
diet that is slightly YANG on the whole. There are a few types
of foods that are essential in treating and curing eczema. It is
important to know which foods to start with. Since eczema is a
YIN illness, YIN foods will make it worse. Try eating parsley or
lettuce and you will see the itching and bleeding increase few
hours later. This is because lettuce and parsley are YIN foods,
and they make a YIN illness worse. Eczema is slowly but
completely cured following the right diet. Some eczema patients
experience a temporary relapse. This is called a healing crisis
as the body slowly throws off toxins from the inside out.
Gradually this healing crisis diminishes and a complete recovery
and cure from eczema takes place over a period of months. |
|
Eczema additional natural
treatment
|
In Addition to the diet for curing
eczema, our recommended plan also usually includes temporary
home remedies such as compresses and plasters with instructions
on how to make these compresses and what to make them with. This
provides immediate relief for eczema sufferers during the first
few days of going on the diet, and until this diet begins to
take effect in curing eczema. This also help alleviate any pains
during the healing crisis if and when it occurs.

Eczema and macrobiotics
|
Most people have come to believe
that macrobiotics means eating exotic Japanese foods. This is a
misconception. To cure Eczema you do not have to eat Japanese
foods. You have to first understand the principles of natural
balance explained in macrobiotics in order to understand what
eating and living habits have led you to develop Eczema. Then,
macrobiotic principles will help you determine what foods you
will have to eat in order to cure Eczema. Read
If macrobiotics
means eating locally grown foods, why are we eating Japanese
foods?
If you are an eczema patient and tried macrobiotics (particularly the #7
diet) but found it did not work for you, then the foods you have
selected are not appropriate for your condition. Please read:
The standard macrobiotic diet does not work for some people.
Why? |

Eczema and the food
pyramid
|
It is true that food is best
medicine for Eczema. But some foods help an eczema patient and
some can make the condition worse. The food pyramid is only a
general guideline and does not provide any specific information
in the natural treatment of eczema.
|
|
Eczema and vitamin and
mineral supplements
|
Food is best medicine. With a
carefully designed diet plan for eczema there is really no need
for vitamin and mineral supplements. Some vitamin and mineral
supplements can have severe adverse side effects on an eczema
patient when taken randomly or in large doses. We strongly
advise against taking any supplements until the eczema patient
has been cured or improved substantially. And beware of alleged
miracle cures in far away lands.
