Eczema is known as “Asthma of the Skin”

….. for good reason. 

Atopic eczema is a genetic condition. It is often seen in patients whose family members have it or other related conditions such as asthma, hay fever or allergic rhinitis. Some patients may have atopic eczema alone or with several or all of these other conditions.

So what do you do if you have eczema?

  1. Get to the root cause. Eczema is an autoimmune issue so taking a proper probiotic is critical… yes, for kids too. I can recommend a great one if you need help.
  2. Change laundry detergents, hair care products, body washes and lotions. Anything that touches the skin can irritate, so choose products that are void of caustic ingredients. This can be easier than you think…. and I found a way to not only improve my condition, but it saved me money too.
  3. Avoid steroids.  Doctors will prescribe steroid creams or suggest an over the counter product like CortAid. Do NOT take them as they will thin the skin and make you far more prone to skin cancer.
  4. Look for body products that will protect the skin. You can’t cure eczema but you can cause it to lie dormant with the right products. Look for ingredients like Allantoin and Petrolatum. 

This “skin disease” can be disabling so staying in front of it is really important. Reach out if you need help with this!

Did you know that allergies, asthma and eczema all fall under the same AutoImmune Umbrella?

That’s right. If you have allergies, then you and your children have a higher propensity to develop asthma and eczema. 

I was 15 when I thought I was having an allergic reaction to an eye cream. I stopped using it and it when away; so I assumed it really was the eye cream. 

Eventually it came back. And it started to spread to my eyelid. So I stopped using the eyeshadow base. Must be that too, right? Nope. It was the beginning stages of eczema….. and truthfully the continuation of more autoimmune issues for me. I grew up with multiple allergies and bronchial asthma. .Although my asthma could be triggered by allergy, exercise, emotions, when it was under control, what I called those pesky allergic reactions would express themselves in other forms, like rashes, hives and eczema.

You see, Eczema starts in the GUT. It’s notarially a skin problem, it’s a gut problem. By the time a problem shows up on your skin, you’ve had an imbalance in your gut for a while. (Oh if I only knew then what I know now!)

Are you one who has “sensitive skin”? Then stay tuned for next Friday’s post to learn more on what you can do to get in front of it!

Are Spring allergies getting you down?

My allergies hit full force this past week because our garden suddenly bloomed!

Luckily, I had my favorite natural antihistamine on hand, Provex Plus, and was able to hold allergy symptoms at bay. Provex Plus is a proprietary combination of grape seed extract, gingko biloba, and bilberry supports healthy circulation and helps protect organs from damaging free radicals. So there are quite a few important benefits like anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant, in addition to being a natural antihistamine!

I used to take prescribed allergy medications—with some, I felt sleepy and groggy, while others left me chronically thirsty. They may have stopped the itchy, tearing eyes and runny nose and itchy skin, but I didn’t feel BETTER. I seemed to have traded one set of symptoms for another. When I discovered Provex Plus, I couldn’t believe how good I felt, no grogginess, no runny nose or itchy eyes, no side effects at all. For me, it works just as well but without the side effects and it is so much cheaper too! I make sure to take one daily and it’s all I need!

What do you take for allergy?
