Drink your water!

Drinking water may seem to be a simple yet obvious eczema remedy, but you would be surprised to know how many eczema sufferers are actually dehydrated. If you’re not drinking at least two liters of water a day, then you’re missing the boat (no pun intended). Hydrating and maintaining moisture of the skin is the top weapon against eczema, but only using lotions and creams are not going to cut it. You must hydrate from the inside out, so drinking plenty of water throughout the day everyday can make a huge difference in your condition.

Give your immune system a boost

Strengthening your immune system is an essential eczema cure especially if your flare-ups are from contact allergies. Strengthening the immune system and detoxifying the body will make you less sensitive to the allergies. Controlling yeast (Candida) overgrowth in the body can help as well. Here are a few things you can do to get your immune system in tip top shape:

* Drink plenty of water (see above!)
* Eliminate/reduce processed packaged foods and replace with wholesome whole foods such as fruits, green leafy vegetables, beans, and whole grains.
* Take probiotics
* Get some sun! A minimum of 15 minutes of sun per day can help your body produce immune-boosting vitamin D.
* Exercise
* Take a whole food multi-vitamin daily

Swim (or bathe) in Saltwater

Salt water is a wonderful eczema treatment because of its soothing and healing effect on eczema rashes and scars. The best type of salt to use is dead sea salt, as it contains a high mineral content. So if you’re near a beach, it wouldn’t hurt to take a dip in the ocean from time to time. You can add salt to your daily baths, or even use salt as a scrub.

In an inspiring article, MasterChef judge John Torode, gives his account on how he cured his eczema.  The cause- -an allergic reaction to the nightshade food family:

John says: ‘I cut out all the deadly nightshade family – potatoes, aubergines, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers – I took out ginger, garlic and stopped drinking caffeine and ate a lot more green vegetables and herbs.’

Experts believe that touching these foods can trigger an allergy that exacerbates eczema when they are then eaten.

Incredibly, the eczema eased after a month and, even more incredibly, has never returned, even though he no longer follows a restricted diet or needs regular acupuncture sessions. He believes that this is because of the way the treatment helped him not just physically but emotionally, as well.”[source]

The article also explains why his diet works for him.  Nickel, the most common allergen that causes eczema, is found in the trace minerals in nightshades.  Now that is something to consider before you reach for your next baked potato.
