5 Natural Remedies For Eczema – Oz Wellness Online

Eczema is also known as atopic dermatitis and as it’s name suggests it is an inflammatory condition of the skin. It can present as a variety of appearances from a mild irritation, to a more severe, heightened, raised, red and itchy skin.

It doesn’t matter what age you are because people of all ages can be affected by eczema. But if you do suffer with the condition, the treatment needs to be a long term approach that can help you manage flare ups.

This article covers some natural remedies for eczema and a few lifestyle considerations to take into account.

1. Diet is number 1

When it comes to seeing improvements, making some dietary changes must be at the top of the list. Many people with eczema have various food allergies and these need to be identified and the allergy foods eliminated from the diet. Common suspects are gluten allergy, lactose and dairy allergy, and allergies to food additives, peanuts, soy, preservatives and colourings. A clean diet is always best for the skin anyway. We have an additive free section over here.

2. Evening Primrose Oil

Evening primrose oil is a top supplement for eczema sufferers. The oil helps to reduce inflammation and can be taken internally as capsules. You can also break open the capsules and apply the oil directly to the skin.

3 .Chamomile tea as a wash

Chamomile tea is an excellent anti-inflammatory herb that can be used on the skin as a wash. It has antibacterial properties, yet it is also a very calming herb that helps settle the skin. You can add 3-5 tea bags to a warm bath and allow the skin to soak a little. Or for bad flare ups, use a bowl of warm water infused with the tea, and gently bathe down the skin.

4. Aloe Vera

Applying the aloe vera plant directly to the skin is an easy way to provide moisture and nutrition to the skin. Keep a plant and simply cut the leaves off as you need them. Or use a pure aloe vera gel instead. You can take a daily aloe vera drink to assist the digestive system and sooth the gut internally. Gut health is very important for skin.

5. Natural Skin Moisturiser

As a natural skin moisturiser use almond oil with chamomile essential oil added to it. Try adding 20-30 drops to your 200ml almond oil bottle. Pure almond oil is gentle on the skin and with the calming effect of chamomile, it works to reduce irritations and keep skin moist.
