Eczema Treatment
Causes of Eczema
The condition known as eczema usually occurs in persons with a family history of allergies.
When people with eczema are exposed to a trigger factor, inflammation-producing cells travel to the skin and release chemicals that make the skin dry and flakey and may cause itching and redness. Common trigger factors are allergens, environment changes, infections, and psychological stress.
Eczema Treatment - treat eczema the natural way

Since eczema dries out the skin, the most direct way to treat eczema is to help the skin regain its moisture retention capacity. Just moisturizing your skin isn't enough. When a moisturizer is applied, it hydrates the cells, but the cells quickly lose the moisture. If substances that work synergistically together to restore the skin cells' elasticity are applied to the skin, then as the healing progresses, the cells continue to admit moisture as before, but after the healing are better able to keep it from escaping.
Shea butter is a wonderful agent for revitalizing our skin cells so that they regain their moisture retention capacity. Unrefined shea butter not only contains a high moisturizing fraction, but also contains an extraordinarily high healing fraction. The essential oils that can work with shea butter to effectively treat eczema include
Bergamot, Myrrh.
