Natural treatment for eczema
Consume more antioxidants. Dryness may cause eczema by triggering the formation of free radicals and therefore may be countered by antioxidants such as beta carotene. Preliminary studies indicate that foods rich in this substance can improve eczema. Brightly colored fruits and vegetables including apricots, squash, mangoes, carrots, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes are good choices. Eat foods rich in essential fatty acids. Foods like vegetable oils, fatty fish, and flaxseed may decrease swelling by helping to generate hormone like substances called prostaglandins, which reduce inflammation.
