Dry, red, itchy skin? Chances are you have eczema. Or rather, chances are you have one of the many skin conditions that doctors lump together under the term "eczema." It's extremely common, affecting up to 20 percent of children and 5 percent of adults (and considerably more in some parts of the world). And it's also incredibly frustrating when you're trying to find solutions.  People of any age can develop eczema, but it's more common in babies and children. I've frequently had readers write to me over the years expressing their frustration and dismay over their inability to solve their children's—or their own—eczema puzzle. Unfortunately, treating eczema is tricky for several reasons. The underlying causes aren't well understood. People have idiosyncratic triggers that can be hard to identify. Sometimes, recommended treatments actually make symptoms worse.  As with other common skin issues like psoriasis, the onus often falls on patients or their parents to experiment on their own to find the combination of remedies that works for them. Today we'll cover some natural therapies that can help stop the itch and calm down inflamed, angry eczema rashes. What Causes Eczema? Doctors don't necessarily have to understand the root cause of a particular affliction to treat it effectively, but it sure does help. In the case of eczema, the root cause(s) remain elusive. We know that the skin's barrier becomes disrupted and skin cells aren't able to hold moisture. There's certainly a genetic component. But eczema is also triggered by environmental exposures to things like mold and secondhand smoke, and some women develop eczema for the first time when they become pregnant.  It has something to do with the immune system, and folks with eczema are more likely than the average person to have one or more autoimmune diseases. But it's not an autoimmune issue like psoriasis. People with food or environmental allergies are more likely to have eczema, and allergic reactions can cause eczema to flare up. But it is not itself an allergic condition.  I came across this great quote from one Dr. E. D. Chipman writing in the California State Journal of Medicine in 1914: "Eczema was defined by Bateman 100 years ago as 'a non-contagious eruption, generally the effect of an irritant, whether externally or internally applied, but occasionally produced by a great variety of irritants in persons whose skin is constitutionally very irritable.' It has been said that this definition cannot be improved upon today."   Another hundred years on, and that still seems to sum it up. People with eczema are especially sensitive to things happening sometimes inside and sometimes outside their bodies for reasons that aren't always clear.  8 Alternative and Natural Eczema Treatments As common as eczema is, there isn't all that much research into treatment options, particularly not natural or alternative (read: non-prescription) treatments. Many proposed remedies are based on anecdotal evidence, often from parents-turned-citizen-scientists desperate to help their children.  Nevertheless, start by talking to a doctor and getting a proper diagnosis if you … Continue reading "Natural and Alternative Eczema Treatments"
