Most eczema creams on the market do work - But have negative side effects. In this article we’ll explore the downsides to the more common eczema creams on the market, as well as what you could do to cure your eczema without using traditional eczema creams.
Traditional Cortisone Based Creams
Most eczema creams on the market are cortisone-based. There are many downsides to using cortisone based creams.
Cortisone breaks down the bacteria in the skin, which helps you get rid of eczema faster. Unfortunately, it also assaults the skin and immune system itself. This makes it more likely that you’ll get eczema in the future as well as increase your susceptibility to other diseases.
Your body and the bacteria in your skin will build up resistance to cortisone quickly, which means you’ll have to apply more and more to get the same effect. Naturally, that means more side effects as well.
Finally, Cortisone is an immunosuppressant, which means exactly what it sounds like: It suppresses the immune system, which also makes it more likely that you’ll get other diseases in the future.
The Alternative – Effective Cures Without Side Effects
The ideal eczema cure would be one that works, one that works quickly and one that works without having any other harmful side effects.
There are many natural cures that fit these criteria. Here we’ll go over just one such cure as an example.
Shea butter or coconut oil both work great and fit the criteria above. It softens the skin, strengthens the immune system while simultaneously combating the eczema and reducing itchiness. There are no side effects.
Apply coconut oil twice a day while reducing allergens and chemicals around you. If you can, install a shower water filter and turn on the air filtration. Also, eat clean and healthy for a week or so. Reduce sugar intake and eat less acidic foods like fried foods or microwave dinners.
This will “calm down” the bacteria and infection while giving the coconut oil time to take effect.
Each different type of eczema would require a different kind of cure. But rest assured, there is a natural cure for every type of eczema. Unlike most Cortisone based cures, which have harmful side effects, natural cures are both highly effective and healthy for the body.
