Common Natural Remedies for Eczema

People do not very well accept natural eczema treatments as compared to the conventional eczema medications which can be purchased in drug stores. However, a popular choice isn’t necessarily the preferable one.

Despite society’s increasing fondness over organic food, not many are willing to try natural remedies for eczema. Natural eczema treatments are often left out and considered as a second choice. Some people do not even consider them at all. The social stigma that these treatments bring up is truly understandable since most of them exist only to relieve the itchiness that goes along with eczema. What they do not understand is that some of these natural, homeopathic treatments can treat eczema symptoms, and others are even able to prevent the reappearance of eczema.

A look at common natural remedies for eczema.

Against popular belief, there are natural eczema remedies that can match a standard treatment’s treating ability. Whether the symptoms appear as red blotches on the skin, as red itching bumps, or as a dry rash, there are natural eczema treatments that can treat them.

Evening Primrose oil:

Evening Primrose oil is an extract from the plant Oenothera which is commonly known as “Sundrop” or “Evening Primrose.” This plant has long been known for its many medicinal purposes. When prepared as an infusion, it is said to aid people with asthmatic cough, digestive upsets, and whooping cough. It is even used as a pain killer and a sedative. With eczema, it is the plant’s mature seeds that do the magic as they contain gamma-linolenic acid and linoleic acid. Recently, the effectiveness of Evening Primrose oil against treating eczema symptoms was proven. The studies revealed that after the participants took 3000 to 6000 mg of Evening Primrose oil daily for three months, they experienced a gradual decrease of eczema rashes and related itching.

Fish oil:

Fish oil is a product that’s derived from the tissue fat of fish. The fatty tissues of fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). And these are “healthy fats” to humans because they have been proven to decrease any type of inflammation in the body. Since eczema is a condition that triggers skin inflammation, it was earlier thought that fish oil could drastically help the condition. Eventually, studies were also made involving the effect of fish oil on eczema, and it was proven that when taken as a supplement (5 to 6 grams) daily for 12 weeks, participants too experienced a decrease in their eczema symptoms.

Eczema Natural Remedies That Support Eczema Treatments.

Some natural eczema remedies cannot treat eczema symptoms but can be used to alleviate the itchiness of the rashes. Therefore, they can’t be used alone to treat eczema but are only there to support eczema treatments, whether they are natural or standard. Products that contain Aloe Vera are good examples of these remedies because this plant is said to have soothing and moisturizing properties. An Aloe Vera lotion is great for people who have dry rashes because it heals skin dryness. In turn, the itching will eventually subside. However, the rashes won’t go away with this natural eczema remedy alone because it is only a supportive treatment.

Eczema Natural Remedies That Prevent Eczema:

Some natural eczema remedies have the advantage of actually being able to prevent eczema from appearing. Typical eczema treatments cannot prevent inflammation, unlike these natural eczema remedies. The eczema diet is one of these remedies.

As you can see, natural, homeopathic remedies can effectively treat eczema. So, if you are suffering from this condition of skin inflammation, you should ask yourself, “where can I find a homeopathic doctor near me?”
