Zeroing in on Eczema
I will never forget the day many years ago when I walked into my treatment room and saw a mother sitting with her 18-month-old child in her lap.
Soothe Inflammation
Inflammation is associated with a wide range of chronic and acute diseases.
Cradle Cap
Cradle cap derives its name from the *skin condition affecting the scalps of babies. This *eczema looks quite severe even when it is mild, with large, oily, yellow scales flaking from the baby’s scalp. There is often a secondary yeast infection in the scaly area.
Eczema
An inflammation that occurs on the surface of the skin, eczema can be an acute and fiery *rash or a more chronic, persistent irritation. In its acute form, the rash emerges suddenly, causing redness and bumps or *blisters which itch and burn. As this heals, crusts are formed.
Erasing Eczema
If you’ve got eczema, you’ve probably tried every creme on the market, from prescription medicated formulas to health store products. Although a creme may temporarily relieve the sting, the discomfort of eczema usually returns.
Emu Oil
While it often seems that a beauty miracle is invented daily, it’s refreshing when a new discovery turns out to be as old as the hills. When it comes to health and beauty aids, you’d be hard-pressed to find one with a longer history than emu oil.
Calming Eczema
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may offer real help for people with eczema. The essence of treatment is this: although the symptoms manifest on the skin, they always reflect an internal problem. Consequently, in TCM, eczema is treated from the inside out, whereas conventional treatment offers only temporary relief with topical cremes.
