Beat eczema naturally

Beat eczema naturally


(NaturalNews) Eczema is known as a chronic dermatological condition that
is characterized by skin rashes, dryness, crusting and flaking skin.
Research indicates that eczema is caused by chronic inflammation that
affects the skin cells and causes scarring. Natural lifestyle strategies
allow the body to de-inflame and beat eczema.

Chronic
inflammatory disorders such as eczema are characterized by a hyper
responsive immune system. The signs of eczema should warn the individual
that inflammatory destruction is taking place within the body as well
and must be addressed to prevent further sickness and disease.
Overcoming this abnormal immune control begins by rebuilding the
intestinal wall, avoiding inflammatory triggers, increasing
anti-inflammatory compounds and optimizing vitamin D3 levels.

Individuals
with eczema have an overpopulation of pathogenic organisms in the gut
that are damaging the intestinal wall and allowing food particles to
pass into the bloodstream. These undigested food particles are tagged as
foreign invaders by the immune system. When the immune system
encounters these food particles in the bloodstream, it unleashes a
massive inflammatory assault that causes a systemic allergenic response.

The
most common food allergens include gluten, corn, soy products,
artificial flavors, preservatives, starches, peanuts, eggs and
pasteurized dairy. Any processed or genetically modified food product
would be considered highly allergenic.

Rebuild the gut

Rebuilding
the gut is absolutely essential to fully ward off eczema and chronic
inflammatory disease the natural way. High quality fermented foods are
powerful weapons to use to reinstate a natural
order within the gut. These foods include sauerkraut, kimchi, fermented
veggies, fermented fruit, apple cider vinegar, kombucha and coconut
kefir. Fermented, raw dairy from 100 percent grass-fed animals is
especially useful in the form of amasai, kefir, whey and cheese.

All
of these fermented foods provide high powered enzymes, probiotics and
key amino acids that help to destroy the pathogenic microorganisms and
repair the lining of the gut to prevent food
particles from jumping across. Intermediate fasting is especially
beneficial during the healing phases and beyond. Fasting from solid
foods or periods of 16-18 hours each day can help the body store enzymes
and repair the gut faster.

The daily diet should focus on
anti-inflammatory superfoods to help modulate the immune system so it
will not over-inflame when stimulated. This means restricting all
man-made foods,
sugars and food allergens. Loading up on anti-oxidant rich vegetables
and using healthy fat sources such as avocados, extra virgin olive oil,
100 percent grass-fed red meat and raw dairy, wild-caught salmon and
organic eggs are fantastic foods to calm the immune system.

Other
great foods for de-inflaming the body include coconut products, berries
and non-denatured, grass-fed cows and goats. This form of protein
enhances cellular glutathione stores which protect the DNA within the
cell and play an important role in coordinating immunity. Superfood
herbs like turmeric,
cinnamon, cloves, oregano, rosemary, thyme, ginger, basil, boswellia,
etc. should be used as much as possible. A combination of coconut oil
and essential oil of peppermint is also very helpful as an ointment to
put onto skin rashes and eczema.

Vitamin
D3 is especially important for anyone with eczema or other chronic
inflammatory conditions. UV light therapy has been shown to be very
helpful for individuals with eczema as well as sun bathing for short
periods of time. Both of these techniques help to raise circulating
vitamin D3 levels.

Optimal vitamin D3 should be between 70-100
ng/ml which is significantly higher than the medically acceptable level
of 32 ng/ml. Spend 20-30 minutes in the sun each day or supplement with
10,000 IU of a high quality emulsified vitamin D3 for a period of time
to reach the desired level.
