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.

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.

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.

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 also help alleviate any pains during the healing crisis if and when it occurs.

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?

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.

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.
