Eczema Treatments – How to Eliminate Inflammation

One of the bothersome features of eczema is ongoing inflammation. Your skin becomes inflamed and itchy. It itches non-stop and you can’t help but scratch your skin in an effort to alleviate the discomfort.

As you know, scratching your skin worsens your skin condition. You must find a way to stop the inflammation and itching.

I did exactly that when I was looking for a cure for my eczema. Among the wide variety of raw organic foods that I started eating, ginger was one of the most effective against inflammation.

In fact, ginger is a root that can help alleviate dozens of conditions, from high blood pressure, dizziness, and other digestive upsets to migraines, headaches, arthritis, high cholesterol, and even dangerous blood clots. Ginger is one of the most popular healing foods in the world.

When I first started using ginger, I noticed that whenever I included a little ginger in my daily fruit or vegetable juices, my skin was soothed and I didn’t feel as itchy throughout the day. I now drink about 1.5 liters of organic juice daily and as far as I am concerned it protects me from all kinds of food.

You can use ginger in a variety of forms, including dried, fresh, crystallized, and powdered. I think fresh ginger is the best. When buying fresh ginger, avoid those covered in soft spots, mold, or wrinkled skin.

You can get the best benefit from ginger if you eat it as often as possible. But don’t go crazy for ginger. If you want to keep your skin from getting inflamed on a daily basis, use about an ounce of ginger in your juices, drink it in your tea, or add a small amount of ginger to your stir-fry.

Once you find out how much ginger works for you, you will find that your eczema skin becomes very inflamed. Your skin is calmer and you will tend not to scratch as much.

The less you scratch your eczema skin, the better chance you have of healing. The more chance you give your skin to heal, the sooner it will completely disappear.

For a very effective drink, try juicing carrots, ginger, celery, and cucumber every day for about seven days and see if you notice a difference in the way your skin feels.
