Help! Does any one else suffer from Eczema?

Question

I developed eczema when I started my nursing career. I have to wash my hands several times a day and that is how it started. It's only on my hands and they itch all the time...The only thing I have tried is hydrocortisone cream and Gold Bond Ultra Healing Lotion. Even the doctors haven't been much help. Any suggestions?

Hi THere

Here is a herb remedy that will work.

1. Take 1-3 droppersful of Echinacea Plus Tincture (at herbdoc.com or another qualified site) to strengthen the immune system.

2. Rub Garlic oil ALL over the affected area (Garlic will kill anything if you use enough of it)

3. Give 1-3 glasses of Activated Charcoal Slurry per day (to absorb the toxins out of the blood)

4. Mix equal parts of Aloe Vera Gel, Slippery Elm Powder and Activated Charcoal Powder together (absorbs the toxins externally)

5. Apply a thin layer of this mixture over the AFFECTED area(s).

6. Continue this treatment, until the desired Results are achieved.

This is healing at it's highest point.

Cause
Eczema is often called Dermatitis, and may be a symptom of an omega-3 fatty acid deficiency. Eczema can be due to allergies, allergies secondary to digestive disorders such as hydrochloric acid deficiency, rashes secondary to immune diseases, genetic metabolic disorders, and/or nutritional deficiencies, especially of niacin (vitamin B3) and B6, as well as other B vitamins.

To minimize your risk of developing eczema, avoid irritating substances, wear natural nonirritating materials, use soothing ointments, and check to see if dietary, nutritional, and/or and allergy-causing factors need to be considered.

Other ideas that will help:

Juice Therapy: The following juice combinations can help speed healing: black currant and red grapes; carrot, beet, spinach, cucumber, and parsley; and wheat grass juice.

Nutritional Supplementation: Vitamin A and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), an omega-6 essential fatty acid found in high quantities in evening primrose oil, have both been shown to improve the symptoms of eczema. Vitamin E. Other useful supplements for preventing and reversing eczema include vitamin B complex, vitamin B6, vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc.

Topical Treatment: Apply evening primrose oil directly to cracked and sore areas of the skin. A topical paste made from ginkgo and licorice root extract has also been shown to improve eczema symptoms.

Best of health to you

My little boy had eczema on his cheeks. I was not sure what method to use but I didn't want to make my boy go through any surgery treatments at this young age. Some suggested a plastic surgeon since it was in a very visible location but our family doctor recommend this natural guide.

Answer 3

Excema is usually related to allergies: probably you (like me) are allergic to certain chemicals. I am really sensitive to pretty much any kind of soap/disinfectant/cleaning product. If possible, I would buy my own soap at the hospital and use that instead when there, something hypoallergenic or meant for babies or both. At home, try using vinegar & baking soda for dishwashing and other cleaning projects--works really well, less likely to cause irritation, and cheaper than dishsoap. Also, the doctors should be able to give you an Rx for a stronger kind of hydrocortisone, if they haven't already. I don't know if taking antihistimines would be useful, but ask your doctor! Excema is usually a chronic/recurring condition, but hopefully that is slightly helpful, at least.

My 2 favorie remedies for eczema are #1 Aquaphor (it's made by Eucerin). It's totally thick , but it's great to put on right before bed. #2 Lansinoh nipple ointment for nursing moms. I know it sounds freakish, but it is great for eczema, dry cracked skin on hands, elbows, heels, ect., even cracked lips! Try them. Good luck!

Answer 5

try eucerin for the dryness. your just treating the inflammation, and not the dryness. or try to get your hands on anything that has lactic acid in it. it did the trick for me.
