Eczema & psoriasis
Besides being very uncomfortable, skin rashes like eczema and psoriasis can be debilitating to self confidence. Topical creams can be helpful, but never treat the root cause.
The immune system is highly involved in both conditions. Eczema is often associated with food sensitivities and inadequate intestinal function, leading to immune reactions on the skin. Psoriasis is a more complicated auto-immune condition, but similarly involves dietary reactions and
inflammation. Getting the immune system under control is the first priority. That means eliminating food triggers, switching to natural skin products, reducing stress, and supplementing with the right nutrients.
Clear, symptom-free skin may be possible with proper dietary guidelines, herbs, and nutrients. With a bit of work and patience, you may gain your confidence back.
