Natural Eczema Treatment: The Causes of Eczema and The 5 Ways to Start Healing It
As I mentioned in the previous article about Rosacea, skin disorders are often the result of an internal imbalance. When the internal organs can no longer process the daily toxic load they're given, or when they're overwhelmed by unhealthy foods and chemicals, the skin acts as a conduit to release the toxins. Unfortunately, with what many consider a standard diet, overwhelm too often becomes normal, and we silence our internal cry for help by simply suppressing the symptoms of a chronic skin condition. While some natural topical remedies can help soothe and calm some skin conditions. Instead, often topical prescription medications that actually carry heavy risks are used to cover up the symptoms. But, the skin condition never goes away completely, or keeps coming back once the medication is stopped. This because the internal imbalance that is causing the skin condition in the first place needs to be addressed.
I'm going to continue the Skin Condition Series by exploring how to heal another well-known chronic skin condition: Eczema.
What is Eczema?
Eczema is a chronic skin condition that's usually characterized by the following:
severe skin dryness
red, swollen areas of the skin
the appearance of dry, red, flaking, blistering, and cracking rashes on the body.
It also comes with a variety of different names, and it would seem that there are many different types of eczema, but these actually only refer to where on the body the rashes tend to occur.
What causes Eczema?
There are four main causes of eczema.
1) Toxin exposure. As mentioned previously, excessive exposure to toxins will eventually overload the kidneys and liver, often causing the skin to take on the role of eliminating toxins since it has such a large surface area. This can lead to eczema or several other skin conditions.
2) Digestive issues. A low-quality diet can irritate or damage the lining of the intestine and reduce its ability to uptake nutrients and prevent toxins from crossing into the bloodstream.
3) Infection and Immune System Overload. An excess of bad bacteria, Candida, or parasites are common causes of Eczema. If the immune system is constantly fighting off one of these infections, it can also be unusually reactive to what would otherwise be every day stimuli.
4) Low thyroid function. This ultimately leads to reduced circulation. Since nutrients are delivered by the blood while waste and toxins are removed by it, this leads to waste buildup on nutrient-deficient skin, which causes the rashes that are so characteristic of eczema.
What can I do for my Eczema?
There are five ways to naturally treat eczema:
1) Address any source of Infection, like Parasites or Candidiasis with a healing diet and herbs. (Look for a future blog post on a protocol.)
2) Eat the following beneficial foods:
Aloe Vera - fights inflammation and can also be applied topically.
Turmeric - A strong anti-inflammatory with many benefits, especially for those with skin conditions. My favorite is a Liposomal Curcumin by Zuma Nutrition.
Burdock Root - A powerful anti-inflammatory that can help with many skin conditions, including eczema. Liver Detox & Support Tonic is my favorite source for Burdock and synergystic nutritionals.
Raw Fats and Cold Pressed Oils - Helps beautify the skin in many ways.
Nettle - Helps relieve many chronic skin conditions, including eczema.
Coconut Oil - Increases blood flow to the skin, fights bacteria, and can be applied topically to moisturize and soften. This is my favorite Coconut Oil. High quality is essential.
And include the following beneficial nutrients in your diet:
Chlorophyll - Fights bacteria, aids in wound healing. Marine Phytoplankton is my favorite source.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids - Essential for body, brain, and skin health. Fish Oil, Krill Oil, Fresh hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, walnuts…
Omega-6 Fatty Acids - Small amounts help acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and eczema.
Sulfur - Builds and repairs connective tissues for beautiful skin, hair, and nails. Helps detoxify the body and liver. Use plant-derived MSM.
Silica - Strengthens connective tissue for strong skin, hair, and nails. Try Skin & Nail Support for herbs rich in silica.
3) Abandon dairy and rancid (cooked at too high a heat) fats (except coconut oil and olive oil). These have been shown to exacerbate eczema.
4) Do a cleanse! Restore the body's ability to detoxify itself through the colon rather than through the skin. I’m a CellCore Practitioner, if you have questions about getting started on a protocol, contact me. You will need my practitioner code LxgHzGOs to purchase any CellCore Products.
5) Choose an organic eczema treatment that will actually help heal and repair the skin without adding to its toxic load. Activated oxygen and azulene! YES!
Activated Oxygen or Ozone heals damaged tissues and hastens healing time. It kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Fully ozonated oil also activates the growth of new healthy skin cells and reduces inflammation. Azulene, from Blue Tansy and Blue Cypress, is also a potent anti-inflammatory.
It's my delight to introduce you to a revolutionary ozonated healing treatment balm for face and body that combines the power of ozone and potent essential oils. This pure and highly activated ozone balm was created for the most challenging skin conditions.
After the Rain - Activated Oxygen Miracle Balm brings together the power of fully ozonated olive oil (ozonated for weeks) with the addition of anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antihistamine, and analgesic essential oils. A miracle treatment for eczema.
If you follow these five steps, you should notice some relief of your symptoms right away, and, with time, it's possible that you will experience little or no eczema at all. As always, feel free to post your comments, questions, and personal experiences below! Especially, if you've tried any of the above methods and can offer what it was like for you.
A miraculously powerful and effective fully ozonated treatment balm for face and body. Highly concentrated, it regenerates skin and tissues with fully ozonated oil and generous concentrations of the most highly therapeutic oils to create healing and renewal for any skin troubles. We use medical oxygen, only glass, and no heat to produce the highest quality ozonated oils. Full ozonation means there are no waxes and no fillers. It is a thick gel at room temperature and cooler… all due to the ozonation process. It takes long periods of time to achieve this full ozonation. The oils work synergistically to soothe, reduce signs of aging, reduce inflammation, rejuvenate, calm all kinds of skin conditions, improve circulation, clear toxins, ease pain, revitalize cells, reduce scar tissue, and stimulate the growth of new, healthy, properly structured collagen.
A little goes a very long way! Just a tiny dab is enough to cover the entire face.
Strength - Choose Full Strength for most cases and for the best results. Full Strength is the original After the Rain formula. If you have been using After the Rain, this is the option to choose. Choose Ultra Sensitive for babies, pets, or for skin conditions that are highly active and reactive to everything. This is not the original version of After the Rain. The difference in the two versions is that Ultra Sensitive contains no essential oils.
Scent - Ozone has a unique and distinctive scent - expect the scent of medical ozone when experiencing your ozonated products. That unique ozone scent means you have a powerfully healing product completely saturated with ozone. It can take some getting used to for some people.
Heat Sensitive - This product will become liquid if warm. If it is over 60 degrees F where you live, place it in the refrigerator for a few hours prior to opening the jar so it can return to its solid form. Keep it in the refrigerator during warm weather to keep it solid and also to maintain the best potency over the long-term.
Use - Please note that this is a highly concentrated balm. It works best as a spot treatment or you can dilute it with Moonlight Mist or water if you wish to cover your entire face. Always, patch test first and gradually get your skin used to it if you are sensitive. Ozone is a powerful detoxifier, and if you are very sensitive or dealing with health or skin conditions, a detox response is possible. See The Elaa Ritual below for more details on how to use it.
