Chronic eczema has the potential to practically stop life in its tracks. Once the pink patchy areas start up, it can almost make you too embarrassed to leave the house and for the most part, medicinal cures can only do so much. This is why so many people are looking at natural remedies for chronic eczema in a b id to get life back on track again.

Moisturizing your skin

Over-moisturizer is better than not enough moisturizing when it comes to chronic eczema. It is easy to forget how often you should be doing this anyway, regardless of your skin condition, especially if you have a habit of going swimming or using chemicals that can potentially damage the skin. You should avoid any products that contain anything related to alcohol and also other drying agents as these will only make your chronic eczema worse and not better. There are a few ingredients that you should be on the lookout for as well including Vitamin E, coconut oil, olive oil and neem oil. You can also use these oils in the forms of essential oils with just a couple of drops added to your clean bathwater, (try to avoid using bubble paths and perfumed products as these can again, make your condition worsen) and also added to a carrier oil or lotion as a cream applied directly to the skin.

Drink plenty of water!

If you are properly hydrated then your skin will be sufficiently hydrated as well and the most hydrated your skin is, the less likely the dry patch areas are going to appear. Ideally you should be drinking around six glasses of water per day. You also shouldn’t really consider coffee, tea, fizzy drinks or fruit juices as your daily water intake – some of these actually contain ingredients that you can make you more dehydrated.

Eat properly!

There are a number of foods that you should be incorporating into your daily diet in a bid to find natural remedies for chronic eczema. Using a juicer is one of the easiest methods in which you can add all of these to your diet in one go. Simply add vegetables and fruits such as wheat grass, parsley, carrots and celery to a juicer and drink this as breakfast or along with your lunchtime meal. You should also consider using a daily multivitamin if you are not getting enough nutrients from your diet. Ideally, you should be looking for calcium, magnesium, vitamins a, d & e as well as zinc. All of these have proven to have a positive impact on skin conditions such as chronic eczema.

Cure your itch with oatmeal!

If you are suffering from very itchy patches with your chronic eczema, you should take a look at bathing in an oatmeal bath. There is no need to scrub the skin with this ingredient but just adding a cup or two of oatmeal to a warm water bath and soaking for around twenty minutes will help to relieve not only the inflammation but also the itching.
