How to treat eczema naturally?

Stress is a major trigger for both my high blood pressure and my eczema flare-ups. Managing my stress through light walks and proper sleep has naturally kept my skin much calmer. Do keep track of your health parameters as they are all connected.

When I visited my dermatologist at Max Hospital, they told me that natural oils can sometimes clog pores and make eczema worse if the skin is already broken. It is best to clearly ask your doctor what natural options are safe for your specific skin type.

At my age, I have realized that the body heals best when you keep things simple. Avoid harsh chemicals, eat fresh home-cooked meals, and keep your skin moist. Trust the process and don't worry, your skin will settle down.

Instead of spending money on expensive 'organic' eczema lotions, just use plain white petroleum jelly which is very cheap and effective. Also, before doing any costly allergy tests, try tracking your food and detergent changes at home first to find the trigger.
