Tackle eczema this monsoon with homeopathy
Doesn’t monsoon bring a surge of delight and freshness? The relief it brings from the seething heat soothes you. But for some, the monsoons bring discomfort in the form of inflamed skin. Eczema can be challenging to deal with, especially during the monsoon.
A study was conducted to assess the impact of climate on skin diseases with a location having a monsoon period of 6 months in a year. Out of the 340 patients, 52% of them reported having a type of skin condition. The highest number was 22% for patients suffering from eczema. (Source: BMC Dermatology)

How does the monsoon affect your eczema?
The changes in temperature and presence of humidity make your skin dry. Additionally, the humidity invites fungal and bacterial infections too. The dryness and infections may aggravate your eczema symptoms. This takes a toll on the already disturbed skin of the eczema patients.
Prevent inflammation with these tips:
Moisturize: Since the monsoon can cause dry skin, moisturizing is the best way to keep your skin healthy. Avoid using moisturizers with fragrance as they aggravate your eczema symptoms even more.
Wash out the itch: Ensure that your clothes are clean and free of any allergens. While washing, use mild detergents which don’t have many chemicals. Reduce the use of fabric softeners as the perfume causes itchiness.
Wear gloves: Make it a habit to wear gloves when you use washing soaps and detergents. The harmful chemicals in the soap can cause itchiness, irritation and dry your skin.
Avoid bathing frequently in hot water: While the soaps dry your skin, the hot water can have the same effect as well. It steals away the natural oil from your skin making it irritated and dry.
Be gentle while drying: If you have eczema on hands, legs and face, don’t be harsh on your skin while drying after a bath. Be gentle and pat dry with a soft towel rather than rubbing it.
Know your triggers: Eczema causes vary from person to person. Ensure that you know the causes which flare your symptoms so you can avoid the same. Some of the most common causes include:
- Allergens such as mould, dust, sand, pet hair
- Food allergies from milk, peanuts, seafood, eggs amongst others
- Psychological factors such as stress
Consult an expert: Contrary to popular belief, you can’t outgrow eczema. It’s true that research to find an eczema cure is still on-going. But there are preventive measures and remedies which can help you deal with the symptoms.
If you want a preventive measure to settle your symptoms without any side-effects, homeopathy is the best solution.
Homeopathy for eczema
Homeopathic medicine for eczema aims at balancing your immune system which helps in lowering the intensity of your symptoms and provides long-lasting effects. Homeopathic medicine focuses on internal healing without any side-effects.
In Japan, a homeopathic doctor assessed 17 patients suffering from eczema to provide customized homeopathic treatment for eczema. All the patients experienced 50% improvement in their condition. In these 17 patients, 13 struggled with sleeping at night. 10 patients saw an improvement in their sleeplessness. (Source: NCBI)
