Eczema
Eczema is a chronic inflammation of the skin, characterized by a red, itchy, scaly rash, often with small blisters, that eventually become weeping and encrusted. Eczema begins as a skin hypersensitivity reaction (similar to an allergy), causing chronic inflammation.
Treatment Plan for Eczema
Herbalists often focus on the liver when treating this condition. Liver cooling herbs, protective herbs, and anti-inflammatory herbs may be helpful. Bowel-cleansing herbs can be used, along with blood purifiers and lymphatic cleansers. Soaking the affected areas in Epsom salt or sea salt bath can be helpful.
