Foods to consider avoiding are gluten, sugar, dairy, alcohol, processed food, deep fried and greasy food. Warming spices such as turmeric, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, cardamon should be used minimally to avoid adding Heat to the body. Part of the approach and strategy to eczema in Chinese medicine is to clear Heat from the body. Redness and inflammation are seen as Heat. Heat can dry out fluids that moisturise the skin, therefore causing dry, cracked and itchy skin. Natural skin care are recommended to keep the skin moist. As there are many natural skin products available in the market today, it is important to read the ingredients used in the product. Ingredients such as shea butter, jojoba oils are good at moisturising dry skin. Avoid any synthetic scent which can cause irritation to the skin, this include perfume and cologne. It is best to go scent free if possible however, some essential oils derived from plants such as chamomile and lavender can be added to sooth the skin, which also has a calming affect on the mind.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li id=\"viewer-ak949\" class=\"bCMSCT Unmlxj s-SEY public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-list-ltr fixed-tab-size OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT c8sXj\">\n<p class=\"Y9Dpf OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\"><strong>Where do we from here?<\/strong> Chinese medicine approach and strategy to addressing eczema is to look at each presenting symptoms individually.
