 治療濕疹的天然草本藥物 Natural Treatments for Eczema 
 
濕疹對患者來說絕對是一種折磨。一般都會採取各種方法除之而後快。一旦你患有過敏性皮炎或濕疹,便感後患無窮:持續不斷的發癢、水皰、化膿和新肉生成。

傳統西醫療法通常包括類固醇類藥物,這能在短期內發揮功效。外用藥膏等雖能發揮局部治療作用,例如通過抑制或掩蓋病因而減輕炎症,但要徹底消除濕疹,你還需要解決基本的致病因素。

濕疹是由什麼原因導致?
濕疹在大多數情況下是由食物過敏或化學性敏感所誘發。 身體的自然反應是試圖排泄任何外來致敏原,以至表現在皮膚發癢和/或產生水泡。常常抓癢會導致紅疹,患處破了能看到一些新肉。

留意常接觸皮膚的東西?
嘗試留意任何經常使用的皮膚產品,因為這些產品有可能加重你的濕疹情況。 每停止使用一種產品,多留意濕疹情況是否有改善。這過程可需時數週而不是數天,因此你必須要有足夠的耐性。除了皮膚用品,也要留意包括羊毛或毛皮等引起的濕疹。 濕疹的發作區域一般可提供某些啟示,例如兒童穿樽領毛衣後如果發生面部皮膚受刺激痕癢便是其中一個啟示。 一些動物皮屑也可影響易過敏人士。

乳製品和濕疹
乳製品是導致濕疹的其中一個罪魁禍首。 牛奶蛋白可能與濕疹症狀有根本關系。 解決辦法之一是嘗試避免食用牛奶和奶酪制品,维期幾星期,看看瘙癢情況是否減少了,皮膚有否明顯改善。 有些人在停止食用牛奶和減少奶酪攝入量後病情便能獲得明顯改善。

濕疹與食物過敏
如果對食物過敏有所懷疑,可通過過敏性試驗尋求一些答案。

氣溫
氣溫也可以加重濕疹病情。 熱力可觸發皮膚激烈紅癢。

精神壓力

壓力似乎會使某些濕疹病人病情惡化。

對付濕疹的天然療方
對一些濕疹患者來說,草藥補充劑可是一個福音。濕疹補充劑通常能幫助身體排毒和增強肝功能,已有研究證明它對濕疹患者很有幫助。

Eczema can be a torment for sufferers. Take action to eliminate it for good.

If you’ve suffered from atopic dermatitis and the skin rash associated with it, eczema, you know what a trial it can be: incessant itching, blisters, weeping and raw flesh.

Conventional medical treatments usually involve steroid-type drugs, which may prove effective over the short term. Topical treatments work to ease inflammation, by suppressing or masking the problem; however, to eliminate eczema, you need to address underlying causative factors.

What Causes Eczema?
Eczema, in most cases, is triggered by food allergies or chemical sensitivities. Your body tries to excrete whatever is causing the problem and this manifests in itching skin and/or blisters. Scratching results in a rash, which can result in flesh that becomes raw.

What Comes into Contact with your Skin?
Try to pinpoint any products you use on a regular basis that may be aggravating your eczema. Use the process of elimination to see if your eczema clears. This may take a few weeks instead of days so you’ll need to be patient.

This also includes wool or fur. The area where eczema breaks out could offer insights. Children who are susceptible may encounter face skin irritation after wearing a fur-lined hood. Animal dander can affect susceptible individuals.

Dairy Products and Eczema
Dairy products can be a real culprit. Milk proteins, in fact, may be at the root of eczema symptoms. Try eliminating milk and cheese for a couple of weeks and see if itching lessens and skin begins to clear. Some people have experienced a complete reversal after eliminating milk from their diet and curbing their cheese intake.

Food Allergies and Eczema
If you suspect that you have food allergies, allergy testing may yield some answers.

Temperature
Temperature may aggravate eczema. Heat can be a trigger for a flare-up.

Stress
Stress seems to worsen the condition for other people.

Natural Treatments for Eczema
Herbal supplements for eczema can be a boon. Eczema supplements work to detoxify the body and enhance liver function, which has proven helpful for eczema sufferers.
Beneficial Herbs for Eczema
    * Flavonoids: Quercetin ,grape seed extract and green tea extract contains flavonoids and arenatural antihistamines.  Quercetin is the most effective bioflavonoid in decreasing inflammation and it relieves the symptoms of inflammatory diseases such as asthma, eczema, gout, psoriasis, and the inflammatory bowel diseases. Quercetin has also been shown to reduce pain.
    * Vitamins A & E for skin health;
    * Vitamin C and bioflavonoids are anti-histamines;
    * Probiotics and prebiotics to improve digestion
    * Rosemary
    * Burdock root
    * Red clover
    * Yellow dock
    * Milk thistle
    * Pau D’Arco
    * Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) (found in licorice root, evening primrose oil, borage oil, and chamomile) is a fatty acid that may help to control eczema. GLA is believed to act upon skin lipids, implicated in inflammation.
    * Flax seed oil-people with atopic eczema may have trouble metabolizing fats. Flax contains omega-3 fatty acids and can help with digestion and healthier skin.

Herbal eczema supplements often contain a blend of beneficial ingredients, which work in tandem to clear eczema.
 
Topical Natural Remedies for Eczema

    * Aloe Vera or Gotu Kola can be used as natural topical agents to relieve itching. The juice or gel should be rubbed on the affected area.
    * Herbal extracts of chamomile and licorice have shown promise in clinical trials. Chamomile cream rendered better results over a standard hydrocortisone cream.
    * Organic coconut oil contains medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), which give the oil healing properties

It’s a good idea consult with a natural practitioner or herbalist before trying a natural eczema remedy. A knowledgeable practitioner can recommend a natural treatment for eczema and track what might be contributing to the condition.

You don’t have to suffer with eczema, nor ride the merry-go-round of flare-ups and cessation associated with steroid drug use. Address underlying causes and utilize effective natural treatments for eczema. Soon, you’ll be free from this troubling skin condition.
