Natural Prescription for Eczema by John Russell

-Identify food allergies and eliminate the offending foods from you diet. Eggs, milk, cheese, chocolate, peanuts, soy, potatoes, and the glutens in wheat are common allergenic foods. It will take four to six weeks for the results of an allergen-free diet to be observed, so be patient.

-Investigate the possibility of the food additive tartrazine contributing to the eczema and, if it does, eliminate it from the diet.

-Eat fatty fish like salmon, herring, and mackerel at least twice a week.

Some steps to relieve symptoms:

-Do not use hot water for bathing and showering: Use warm water.

-Use bath oil to soften skin. Use a nondrying soap substitute instead of soap

-Do not use over-the-counter ointments that contain benzocaine or antibiotics.

-Avoid lanolin in skin lotions, cosmetics, cleansers, and the like.
