Supporting Eczema Naturally Through Lifestyle, Nutrition & Skincare
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterised by persistent dryness, itching, redness, and episodic flares. It reflects a weakened skin barrier and immune imbalance, and can begin in childhood or present in adults.
When the barrier is compromised, the skin loses hydration, becomes more vulnerable to irritants, and triggers an immune response that fuels the itch–scratch cycle. Over time this leads to chronic dryness, sensitivity, and visible inflammation.
Lifestyle & Environmental Support
Holistic changes can greatly improve resilience for eczema-prone skin. Identify and moderate common drivers to reduce flare frequency:
Diet & oils
Avoid inflammatory seed oils (soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower, canola, grapeseed, cottonseed). Prefer:
- Cold-pressed olive oil (stored in dark glass)
- Coconut oil
- Ghee
- Pure raw butter
- Grass-fed, grass-finished tallow
Whole-food nourishment
Reduce processed foods and stimulants (alcohol, caffeine, nicotine). Focus on nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods.
Hydration & electrolytes
Drink sufficient water and include minerals such as Celtic sea salt to support cellular hydration.
Non-toxic care
Switch to environmentally friendly cleaning and personal-care products. Avoid forever-chemical cookware, plastics, and aluminium storage.
Nervous system reset
- Consistent, restful sleep
- Time in nature and sunlight
- Activities that bring joy and creative expression
- Uplifting people and animals that provide comfort and connection
Medication awareness
Where possible, discuss alternatives or supportive detox strategies with your healthcare provider if petrochemical medications may contribute to flares.
