Eczema. Natural treatment and cure.

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 illnesses 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.
