100% agree! You made a perfect analogy. For myself, I developed severe hand eczema at 35yrs old with zero previous history. After desperately searching for solutions and even trying western medicine “treatments”, I found huge relief from an elimination diet (specifically a carnivore diet). However after 3 months, I had been able to stop the itching and inflammation but my skin was still dry. The missing part for me was supporting my detox pathways, as I came to find out I have MTHFR and MTTR variants that influence my detoxing more than others. For full resolution, I incorporated these things: 1.) Nighttime castor oil pack over my liver with a heat pad in it - every night 2.) Every morning dry brushing to move lymphatic fluid 3.) taking a high quality probiotic like Smidge or SFI Ther-Biotic LactoPlus Prime and homemade fermented sauerkraut (homemade and 24hr ferment is optimal or Bubbie brand pickles/kraut) 4.) Enemas - I did 1-2 times a week and used a high quality coffee like Purity, but you can just use warm water with a little salt or baking soda or clay 5.) Dealing with past grief - I hadn’t been aware that the grief I had experienced after multiple miscarriages had transformed into a shopping addiction. Everything I would buy or research was about becoming a mother, healing myself, and stuffing a hole I could never fill. Going to a grief counselor transformed my life, and becoming aware of the behaviors I had developed surrounding shopping to cope with that grief has helped me more forward in a more positive way While you may not have grief, there may be other unresolved trauma or self esteem issues etc that can benefit from a deep dive and addressing for a more complete healing. I can say that after a nearly 5 year battle with very severe hand eczema, I no longer have it and these specific steps were the key to my success. I can now eat a wider variety of food, but prefer to keep it more ancestral animal based because of the nutrients and how I feel - I don’t believe you have to do this component - but eliminating processed and ultra processed junk and excess sugar consumption is vital for long term health besides healing eczema. Thank you!
My gf is suffering from eczema and I’m doing all I can to learn about this condition so I can be there for her and help her through this situation. Thank you for this video!
Keep a food journal and slowly introduce foods only after eating for 2 weeks rice and meats no condiments like ketchup tomatos bad for eczema, face will clear also water or with lemon no caffinated drinks big nono
I saw a video of Dr. Berg Eczema and in the video he recommended BLACK CURRANT SEED OIL..well since I have had Eczema for 3 years now on my hands I figured what do I have to lose so guess what I bought it & within 2 weeks I saw AMAZING literally AMAZING progress almost 75% gone!!! I couldn't believe it!!! Dr.Berg says because in the Black Currant seed oil it has GLA Gamma Linoleic Acid which "we" are missing so I wanted to share my experience with you...try it she will be so happy 1 pill with food is what I do just watch the video of Dr. Berg Eczema.
I am deeply shocked by the lack of competence in young swiss doctors. my girlfriend has been struggling with eczema for a very long time and it's only getting worse. In the meantime her doctors say that it's basically normal to develop water allergy and similar symptoms in her age and with every visit she gets a new product and no further insight or advice. Now we will take the matter in our own hands with dietary change, eastern medicine etc., thank you for the video.
I've had eczema since I was a baby & it's only gotten worst the older I've gotten....until I changed my diet & started eating Low Carb High (Healthy) Fat. Whatever is happening inside you, shows up on you externally. Cut out all sugar & cure your gut ✌️
Eczema can trigger from so many thing's, everyone is different, we could spend hours talking about it. I'm 41 and started getting Eczema on side of stomach 2 months ago. I was diagnosed with another auto immune disease a year prior which was definitely long term stress related, so now this, but I'm told if you get one auto immune disease, your prone to another.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You’re the ONLY person (doctors included) that has said this is not a skin problem. I was determined to find an answer for my newborn. I knew topical “solutions” were not the answer. You should do more videos about eczema, you’d dominate this topic because there’s not much content.
In the same position with my 6 month old. I’ve cut out gluten in my diet(I’m breastfeeding) and hoping that helps! Did you find out what worked for your baby?
thank u for ur videos! i wish doctors addressed the root of eczema instead of only recommending steroid creams. i’ve been disappointed by so many of these health professionals’ approach towards eczema. i found so many answers on youtube and your channel especially has helped me understand what i need to change in my lifestyle :) i’m malaysian too so hello from a fellow malaysian! ❤️
Hello! Malaysian! hehe Always so excited to "meet" someone from home now that I am not there anymore. Thanks for dropping your lovely comment. Appreciate you.
Very good emphasis on the mental part. Stress blew up my whole body, turned a 4-week old eczema into a erythroderma diagnosis. My lymph nodes were larger than the size of ping pong balls. Chronic stress is really hermful!!! Take time to take care of your mind, body, and soul.
Found out a while ago the cause of my eczema is a wheat sensitivity, if I eat wheat to often my eczema gets more flaky and itchy and bleeds more if I itch it, stopped eating wheat and my eczema went away thankfully
Hey glad you found the cause. But remember that ultimately, you should heal completely and be able to eat wheat products again, unless you have celiac disease :)
Thank you so much for this channel! I have been struggeling with eczema for 25 years, had it all my life. I have literally tried everything! I have eczema now all over my legs and arms, and it is affecting my life in so many ways. This summer it almost went completely away but now its back worse then it has been in many Years.. I started my journey a couple of days ago. Bought probiotics and vegan food and nice oils, acai and detox powder. Cutting out all gluten and dairy and trying to pay attention to my triggers. Since i have lived with it all my life I was about to give up on it but this is my last hope. Really hope this works!
Gluten and dairy is exactly what I was thinking. I am currently in your situation but this post was made a month ago. Can you shed some light? Is it working?
I always was told my exczema would dissapear. To this day I have the same problems as a child. Ruff, dry or raw skin very itchy. Ive formed a habit of biting my nails so I don't scratch. I do "even though I shouldn't" take EXTREMELY HOT showers to sooth it. Most people will understand this takes the pain away but makes your skin worse. My diet is ridiculous because I work all over the place and it's quick and easy. I struggle to live right now, never mind get all the things I need. I'm a smoker because of the stress I've endured over the years. I found your channel and I'm ready to take serious steps. I'm 26 and I have always been the same shy, very quiet person. I wouldn't wish exczema on anyone. I feel very dirty in a way because of the state I get into. I'm ready for the steps and ready to improve myself. I thank you so much for your work and advice. I will update this thread in a month or so.... Xx
In the end it's pretty easy. 1. Eat only meat. 2. Drink only water. 3. Use hypoallergenic shampoos / soap / laundry detergent. This is what everyone can try for a few days to start with and eczema will have calmed down. Then add stuff to the food. Personally for me this work. I also would say main things to never consume are gluten, eggs, all fruits, for me personally at least. And one other thing that actually might be the worst of them all is citric acid, if I eat anything with citric acid in it it's a guaranteed sleepless night because of itching
@@teka5509 thank you my friend I had some light treatment but nothing is a permanent fix. I’m used to it, I get the itching hot or spicy foods had to be thrown away, sleepless nights and a blotchy face are guaranteed
You're right! 😢 I'm going to detox my body. My skin is reacting now because of my poor diet. I have eczema that's why im here in your channel because i am searching for people with the same experience that can help me.
I developed eczema like 3 months ago and I'm so frustrated because I also developed bacne and am already suffering from acne for many years. 😭 gosh thanks for this introduction to eczema. I'll try to be patient.
I am the same. No previous history of it. Had it for a month now. On another note, I was wondering about the ins and out of buying stocks recently because my friends were talking about it. Didn't think I'd find one looking for a cure to my eczema. Subscribed.
It took doctor #7 to figure out my issue. It’s Contact Dermatitis. It’s a form of eczema and I already had light eczema breakouts since 15. Contact Dermatitis is a buildup of chemicals, essential oils, etc. I’m do light detoxing with 6oz of celery first thing in the morning then a green smoothie. I started cutting out collagen in my coffee because my daughter read something about collagen being a trigger. Other triggers for me are some dairy, wheat. I stay low on sugars.
I completely agree with you 100% on how in the modern age, health and nutrition has been leaning towards unnatural ways. The food industry provides an endless amount of highly processed foods that are easily accessible to anyone, yet are toxic to our bodies. Pharmaceutical industries are mostly there to sell their products whilst not tackling the root causes of people’s diseases. It’s quite sad how we are turning away from our traditional and natural ways that our ancestors has worked so hard to cultivate for thousands of years for the sake of choosing convenience. Although science has made progress in learning about various diseases, there should also be room to advocate for the larger benefits of natural medicine. If only money wasn’t the driving force of these companies, everyone would have been awakened by now. There is a reason why the oldest people, such as the centenaries in Japan, are living so long. They just seem to know what they’re doing, look at their diet and see!
I've had eczema all my life. I was born with it. I'm now 64 years old. I went to all kinds of allergists and dermatologists during my lifetime to really no avail. Not sure if diet has ever been an issue. Using strong detergents and soaps will cause breakouts from hell. A doctor told me once, I guess with my situation that it was caused by mold or dust mites. He suggested a good air filter. It went away for the first time in my life for 7 years, no trace. All of a sudden it's back. Just shows you how unpredictable and frustrating eczema is.
Sunbathing, no sunscreen. No sugar. No eggs. Jojoba oil with zinc oxide non nano. Lemon water with Himalayan pink salt and ginger. Try applying ghee at least twice a week.
Thanks for your video, we need to remember that the inside projects outward. I'd had eczema since childhood and when in Uni, met a Ghanaian lady who told me that eczema was a "blood problem," and I had to detoxify my blood with bitters. (Alafia bitters). Over a year later, I actually purchased the bitters and since taking them for that singular course (3 days), I have not had another flare up. It's been roughly 6 years since then.
Wow! Just three days of bitters and cured for 6 years!? That is amazing info! Thanks for sharing! I hope some people here can try and I hope it works for them too!
@@dawnforlife Yeah I guess I wiped out whatever inflammation I had. I know that worked for me may not have the same exact effect on another, but thought of sharing my experience in case someone else may benefit.
I always get eczema during the summer time the heat the sweet makes it burn. I get it behind my leg and knee. It’s so painful and itchy I try to put special lotion and it doesn’t work. I’m embarrassed to wear shorts because it’s scaring my skin please help me with the scaring and the itch also what I can do better when the heat comes around.
This is what most Chinese herb doctor say as well, I developed eczema years ago and to clear my guts I've stopped eating beef, shell seafood, spicy food and sadly uncooked food like icecream and salads. Also have to eat or do activities that makes my blood circulation run better to help the metabolism of my body. And the eczema disappeared. I notice that I will get eczema back when I eat a lot of sushi and icecream 😅 but you know, those are hard to cut out sometimes. But ultimately, everyone's guts are different so it's really up to the person to find out what their guts can tolerate. I know that for my friend she is more sensitive to eggs now.
Thank you so much. I have been eating healthy and taking the probiotics you recommended but still I have been getting impatient. You reminded me that healing takes time. I definitely need to meditate and relax more. Love your approach and voice. You're lovely. Thanks.
Hey Molly, I'm very very happy you are reminded to be patient. Healing takes time and sometimes it may seem like two steps forward one step back or even one step forward two steps back, but just remember, forward IS forward. Sending you love
@@dawnforlife thank you so much! Sometimes it's easy to forget this when you're struggling on your own. I'm hoping mine will heal up in the next few weeks as I'm getting married. It is nothing too bad, only a little on my face but still it would be sad if I had it then. I'm feeling much more positive now though. You are right forward is forward! Take care xx
Aww congratulations Molly! EVEN if you still have it on wedding day, dontdespair and rejoice that you are marrying a great man who looks beyond appearances 🥰💓
@@dawnforlife sorry for not replying sooner. I've been on holiday and have little Internet but thank you for your kind comment. My fiancee is a wonderful man. I'm so lucky to have him in my life (and he's lucky to have me too of course hehe). Good news I think the relaxation of holiday has been just what I needed for healing. Even though I am eating the odd sorbet and having a glass of good wine in the evenings my eczema has almost completely healed. I think it's a combination of reduced stress, sun and sea. For anyone suffering I recommend some time away from home if you can manage. Also I am continuing to take good probiotics and drinking kombucha while away.
@@mollyaitken4399 Yes I agree! How our mind and gut connection will also affect not just eczema but overall health and vitality. Once again, congratulations to both of you =D
Can you do a video on the stages of Eczema healing. Some people say that before it improves it spreads a little but, gets dry and then calms down. A number of such spikes/flare ups are expected but every time the intensity reduces as the body detoxifies it self on a good diet and lifestyle.
I already have a video on that but everyone heals very differently so mine may not be the same as someone else and mine was probably also steroids withdrawal.
Thank you! I had eczema as a child and it’s come back over the last 2 years and nothing has been working - Subscribed and ready to start recovering! 💪🏽
EVERY THING HAS A ROOT.....Therefore EVERYTHING COMES FROM WITHIN. So Akways Love Yourself and Each other and whenever there is an imbalance, then address it as naturally as possible. X
@@dawnforlife Thank You very much Dawn. We were all created as perfect as possible. The big pharmas need phasing out and a whole new treatment system needs putting into place. We can start with a different more natural immunising system in mind which could be as simple as everything we eat has been grown properly and naturally which boosts up the immune system. And more natural cannabis treatments as we have cannabis receptors in our bodies. Yes our bodies actually want cannabis and are ready to work with it. That's why it stays in your system the longest on the roadside test which is testing for alcohol and other substances. Your body kicks alcohol out the quickest as it is actually the worst fir you, so all those wine heads that look at weed people like big druggies need to be educated correctly. Cannabis stays in our systems for 2 weeks because it is most welcome. Our bodies are amazing and react to what we do. I will never ever donate to Any Cancer charities ever again. Be as natural as possible. Buying an aloe vera plant is also a great idea so when your skin is a bit sensitive or blemish then Vera is the lady. ....that's why its ' .. ('Hello Vera.........come on in)
Thank you Dawn for sharing this video. You are spot on and tell it like it is. Recently I developed eczema and doctors will prescribe anti-itch cremes and steroid pills for eczema and this only mask the rash inflammation. They will not tell you that the diet you're eating is the main culprit. It's a shame I will not be able to eat and enjoy Japanese food anymore. Nevertheless, keep up the great videos! Arrigato from Rowland Heights, CA
I have been eating a gluten free vegan diet and I got food poisoning from some vegetables from the supermarket and when I traveled to another state for vacation I flared up all over my arm, hands, and legs . I’m not sure what it is that triggers it but it is very frustrating to do everything correctly , restricting what I eat and still end up getting it. Thankyou for this video It helped me somewhat understand why it occurs every summer.
Hey I'm very glad that this is helpful for you. Restrictions can be really stressful especially when travelling! I feel for you. Just know that vegan and gluten free may not always be the healthiest, it is eating of whole real foods and having a strong digestion that helps us be healthy. 😊
I just found your videos about eczema few days ago and very happy to watch this new video as well. I am suffering from eczema for two years now and doctor just gave me steroid and anti itchy pills, of course it didn’t heal my eczema from truly inside, What you have talked in those video convinces me to try what you recommend. I ordered the probiotic, surprisingly it is made by Japanese doctor so I am Japanese but didn’t know him and his product! I hope the product matches my body. I love how you are positive and I am really thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Have a great day!
Sumimasen! Ahhh i love Japan!!! Ohhh Dr Ohhira is amazing! May whole family take his product. Even my dog hahah though they have a different gut bacteria, when they are sick my mom gives it to them 🙈😆. I wish you well Pon Bon! Be patient, it will take time.
Arigatou Dawn san! Japan loves you, too ;-) I am trying to do my best with my patient to heal my body now. Little by little I have been watching your videos more and getting know about you more these days :-) I like your happy smile and healthy life style as well :-)) Do you mind if I ask question? You mentioned that you are light sleeper in one of your videos. How did you deal with eczema attack like itchiness or uncomfortableness when you wanted to sleep? I am also light sleeper and struggling to sleeping with having eczema, so I thought maybe you had some similar experience. Wishing you and your husband all the best :-) :-)
Acupuncture is life saving. You can literally eliminate the environmental and food causes of eczema. The rest is up to maintaining a low stress, happy, and healthy lifestyle.
@@lupitadiaz1059 I feel for you. My 18 month old has eczema. Probably because I have Crohn’s and allergies. I love him so much, I feel like I did this to him. Ima pray for all of us, God is gonna help us through this.
I disagree that eczema is not a skin problem. My breastfed infant got eczema. The dermatologist gave my baby a low potency steroid. I was scared when i saw how it all cleared up in less than a week. But i realised i cannot give her steroid all the time. It will lead to more diseases in the future. Hence i began my experiments. Of course my baby was breastfed. My experiments taught me to keep my baby's skin hydrated during the dry seasons. India being a tropical country we sweat a lot. So i kept her in AC during hot temp because she developed eczema only in those places where she perspired. I bathed her in neem water which cleared up her eczema in a week without any medicine at all. I massaged her with neem, olive, coconut oil mixed together when i didn't have neem water. Changing her detergent, or wearing only cotton clothes, or switching to cloth diaper didn't work either. I just had to be careful with what is ON her skin which can trigger her eczema. After months of such experiments she was eczema free as long as i kept her skin clean & hydrated. Just one mistake on my side could trigger her eczema & it did happen. But now since i know how to control it I'm not scared anymore. So i learnt that it's a skin problem of not a skin disease. As long as I avoid triggers she's fine..She eats & drinks everything.
Thank you for your videos. Very helpful. I have a five month old baby with neurodermitis. I had to search videos about it for ideas and tips and yours is the best.
I'm so happy you found it helpful! It must be heartbreaking to see your baby suffering, you are a strong mama and I wish you will find healing and comfort while at it! Big hug!
Hey Dawn! Thank you for another great video on products that can be used with eczema or things to avoid.... I have a question as someone who has: - sensitive skin - skin that is especially thin on my cheeks - whole face and neck area are in a constant state of dry, cracking and flaky What's a good ALTERNATIVE for Vaseline in the WINTER (When I wake up in the morning, everything is overly dry and I don't use a heater or anything). I used to use a cortisone ointment especially on the are between my nose and lips as it has always been a problem area, but I stopped using that and turned to coconut oil and vaseline, but I know vaseline is bad... just don't know what to use that can last through the night so that my skin isn't painfully dry and cracking. BTW I have started a gut health diet, so this is more for in the mean time while my body fixes itself. 😊 Thank you for reading 🙏
I feel you Christina!!! I've always have combination skin but due to "growing older" and moving to the driest area in Switzerland, I've had to deal with dry skin. I recommend you watching my sensitive skin video : ruclips.net/video/O3O8UIkQAAQ/видео.html I highly recommend the pure vit E oil if you want to use just one thing. =)
This is true . Never in my life I had eczema until now at 50. What a coincidence that my dr asks me if I am alcoholic bc my liver doesn’t look good 😂.Lol , no I don’t drink but I did take a bunch of supplements who might have screwed ip my liver .Looks like there is connection between liver and eczema or liver and skin in general. I already started fasting 😎.
well im suffering eczema for 25 yrs im 29 now and still have them. i never really experience wearing short outside the house and i got bullied during my b highschool days.
kimberly jules fuentes I started 5 days ago. So I can’t say much yet. I used to take antihistamine every night for the last 6 months and I stopped it like 2 days ago. So far my itching has improved. Also, I used to have stomach bloating problem I noticed that has improved drastically. I would recommend u to try. On top of that, u should also try a skin prick test if u haven’t yet done it. I have done some allergy shots becuase I have allergy to dust mites. That has also helped
Should I stop dupixent injections (it's for eczema) before I start this healthier lifestyle? I bought a book that mentioned celery juicing as well as heavy metal smoothies. I wanted to try them but I'm not sure if I should start it after halting my injections or not. I know for sure I have a unhealthy gut that accumulated for many years, but I'm just lazy to cleanse. Haha
Hi, Dawn! Glad to have found your channel... I'm in week-30 of pregnancy now, and this is the first time I'm dealing with ezcema. There are some itchy and red spots on my back which cause me sleep issues. I've just watched your video on what healthy food to avoid for eczema, I wonder what about ezcema diet during pregnancy? Could you shed some lights on that area? Thanks a lot! Cheers from Malaysia 🇲🇾🎉
Heyyy I'm so sorry to hear that you are suffering with eczema! Our bodies are under quite some stress trying to grow a healthy baby and that can sometimes make it harder to detox. I was already completely healed when I got pregnant so I'd say focus more on quality of food instead of what to eat. We don't want you to miss out on important nutrients to grow your precious one. So, the least processed the better. Home cooked meals with high quality (organic meat/eggs when possible or at least animals that get fresh air aynd be outside at least a few hours a day, or whatever best you can get), no msg, eat a variety of fruits and veggies. I think papaya, some watermelon, beetroot, pumpkin are all great choices. Reduce tomatoes, brinjal or you can still try and see how you feel. For me, tomatoes are not my friend when I had eczema. Ah so much to share..if I can make a video on something more specific, let me know. I'll try to make it happen. All the best and congratulations on your pregnancy! :)
Ow yes, Sister; just like any auto-immune condition (rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, etc...), some kinds of depression and even Parkinson's, the origin of the problem is not on the spot where it manifests, but elsewhere, like you say in the gut. Leaky gut condition is the cause. The only doctors who approach the problem this way are practitioners of Functional Medicine. My question: why it is always people with great (inner) beauty who get into this kind of mess ?
My mom smoke and drink while pregnant with me. I started getting adult acne at 23 and eczema now at 26. I'm fed up. Also a slew.of other health issues.
My mom told me she never drank with me but she did with my brother I wonder if she did with me as well. Im going to the doctor tomorrow to see why I'm having hives all over my body I wonder if it's eczema. Any ways I feel your pain with the acne part.
Everyone take this with a grain of salt please, its true that skin rashes can develop internally, but for a lot of people it is a skin problem where the skin can't hold moisture and becomes dry and cracks. When that happens your skin is vulnerable to anything and everything. Don't use lotion instead use heavy moisturizer creams like cerva or repcillian, and use vaseline lock it in. To say that all rashes on the skin develop from the gut is foolish and disproven by the fact that you can rashes through: bug bites, posion ivy, dry skin. External or Internal
I see where you are coming from but I don't think I mention all skin rashes because obviously there are external causes like you mentioned. However, from my experience, long term use of external moisturiser is pretty much useless if internally is not taken care of. I agree with you to take everything with a grain of salt because everyone's healing journey is different. Thanks for your input nevertheless. :)
Can you develop atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis and dyshidrotic eczema all at the same time? Because I did. I have eczema on the back of my thighs which are darkened now from itching and they say too much use of steroid creams. I developed it since childhood. And up until now, I still get them especially during my period. I feel extremely insecure about it because of the hyperpigmentation, that I couldn’t wear a bikini. Then I have seborrheic dermatitis which started during highschool. I thought it was only a dandruff problem but I noticed that they doesn’t itch that much and are much smaller than actual dandruff. I think the culprit was those chemicals in permanent hair straighteners that I used during middle school 🙈 Now I am suffering from extremely flaky scalp. And just recently at age 25, I developed dyshidrotic eczema. I haven’t been diagnosed because I don’t want to use creams for it anymore provided by dermatologists, but I figured it is dyshidrotic eczema since it developed rough patches and blisters on the top of my foot in between my toes. Anyone know why am I suffering from all these types of eczema at once? Is this some kind of major of health related problems? Thanks!
Hey! I've all 3. Recently my eczema got worse, drs prescribed steroids ointments and creams and moisturizers and tablets, but after stopping it, the flare up is worst! I'm so tired of the intense itch at night, and the affected skin bleeds due to it. If you find any natural cure that is less expensive, please msg me. Thanks.
I used to love nuts too! Especially salted cashews, I could eat them all at one go but looking back, they did make me feel not quite good. But after stopping for a while and liking other types of food, I find myself not excited to eat or crave them anymore :)
What kind of doctor would you suggest to visit? Because for me its not eczema, the previous doctor said i have an atopic skin, which she didnt explained much,instead prescribed me of lots and lots of expensive creams and all.
@@dawnforlife yes but here in my area its hard to find a doctor who dont offer such an expensive treatments, im looking for doctor who offers natural based. What i have is like break outs from eating fatty or dairy products but i dont the scaly skin like what a normal eczema looks like.which i find myself lucky enough
@@nikkib8665 Yep, that is a very mild form but it is your body signalling that digestive system is not at its strongest because dairy and fatty food are harder on the digestion. I've heard osteopaths can give good results long term too. Since it is so mild, you can consider the tips I've given in other videos to help your body remove toxins or see one when you move to Switzerland. Many insurances cover a certain amount for alternative medicine. :)
@@dawnforlife thank u so much. Yes ive watched it,most of the options u mentioned i couldnt find it here,instead im just using plant based products and im taking hepasil for antioxidant. And im not eating fatty or too much dairies.
I just have a big doubt. I eat the same during the summer and my eczema is waaaaaay better. Why is that? I feel like the winter season just make it really worse no matter what I eat, does that happen to you too?
Where do you live? Usually I hear people say it is worse in summer. Is it very dry where you are? It does make sense to me why yours is good in summer. In Ayurveda, when the sun is strong, our digestive fire is stronger. So perhaps look into your digestion.
It could either be something you touched (skincare/wash/plants..etc) that you are sensitive to and it's an allergic reaction or it could be also a weak immune system/gut related.
Hi Thanks for such nice and informative video. I have 14 months baby and she is suffering from eczema since she was 6 weeks old like after her 1st vaccination, she is allergic to dairy, nuts and coconut and so many other things,
OH dear..I'm so sorry to hear, it must be heartbreaking to see your child suffer :( Her immune system probably overreacted to the vaccine and most vaccines have a high dose of aluminium. Over time, her body will be able to slowly detox but maybe you can research on some heavy metal detox suitable for children. For now I guess just keep to whole foods that does not flare her up. Avocados for healthy fats, bananas and all types of fruits should do good for her. If she is breastfeeding, maybe watch your diet too. If she is not, consider organic (raw when possible and heated just to almost boiling) goat's milk instead of cow's.
Leaky gut doesn't exist. It's a pseudo science fib, don't let anyone tell you it's real. You might want to watch the Jilly Juice series, it kind of catalogues the silliness of leaky gut
Carbohydrates, fructose (which is a carbohydrate but I mention it explicitly because it's especially evil), alcohol, high processed foods, vegetable oils - avoid all of these! Even if you don't suffer with eczema.
My sister is 10 year old, she was diagnosed with eczema and her allergic report says her all pannel are positive and dr said she need to go with only a particular food habbit. Then someone suggested us for homeopathic treatment which was claimed to be cure her but It made the situation worsen up. Her skin became black and shading continuously so we returned to allopathic treatment. Dr gave her some injection, then diff dr were suggesting diff therapies then we follow the one who said that the suppress her immune system because it's hyperactive. These immune suppressing medication led her to the sever pancreatic infection which by god blessing she suffered. But now she can't take any medicine and her allergy is uncontrollable would you please help
How long did it take you on the clean diet and following the whole regimen to Heal from eczema? And after healing, how often are you able to eat meat, dairy, gluten, etc. without eczema coming back?
It was very gradual and after my skin healed in about 4-5 months, it took a total of three years to be not so sensitive. I can eat everything now and like I said in this video, if you can get good quality dairy/meat/properly prepared grains, you can still eat them moderately. Bone broth from a good source is good, a little meat ok too.
dawn for life in Switzerland thank you so much for your videos!!! I’ve been following your advice with good results! I especially like the serum you recommended!!
Hi Dawn, thank you for this explanation. How did you cope with the itchiness and what was your healing story, was healing up and down? Did you get flare ups during healing? Also when you mention the fish tank analogy, to detox did you do any types of fasting or enemas etc to clear out your gut it did you just use diet? Sorry for all the questions but l am in the healing process.. lm currently covered in excema and so tempted to use steroid creams the doctors insist on but l am really trying to refrain and be strong. Thank you
Hey Daisy, no worries, I'm happy to answer when I can :) You can watch me talk about my eczema in more detail here: ruclips.net/video/24pg-MBD8Ec/видео.html Feel free to leave more questions if this didn't answer them. Sending you healing vibes!
![Best Probiotic Supplements for [Eczema Dermatitis]- Gut Surgeon Explains](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U1uM_oJAC6g/mqdefault.jpg)
100% agree! You made a perfect analogy.
For myself, I developed severe hand eczema at 35yrs old with zero previous history. After desperately searching for solutions and even trying western medicine “treatments”, I found huge relief from an elimination diet (specifically a carnivore diet). However after 3 months, I had been able to stop the itching and inflammation but my skin was still dry. The missing part for me was supporting my detox pathways, as I came to find out I have MTHFR and MTTR variants that influence my detoxing more than others. For full resolution, I incorporated these things:
1.) Nighttime castor oil pack over my liver with a heat pad in it - every night
2.) Every morning dry brushing to move lymphatic fluid
3.) taking a high quality probiotic like Smidge or SFI Ther-Biotic LactoPlus Prime and homemade fermented sauerkraut (homemade and 24hr ferment is optimal or Bubbie brand pickles/kraut)
4.) Enemas - I did 1-2 times a week and used a high quality coffee like Purity, but you can just use warm water with a little salt or baking soda or clay
5.) Dealing with past grief - I hadn’t been aware that the grief I had experienced after multiple miscarriages had transformed into a shopping addiction. Everything I would buy or research was about becoming a mother, healing myself, and stuffing a hole I could never fill. Going to a grief counselor transformed my life, and becoming aware of the behaviors I had developed surrounding shopping to cope with that grief has helped me more forward in a more positive way
While you may not have grief, there may be other unresolved trauma or self esteem issues etc that can benefit from a deep dive and addressing for a more complete healing.
I can say that after a nearly 5 year battle with very severe hand eczema, I no longer have it and these specific steps were the key to my success. I can now eat a wider variety of food, but prefer to keep it more ancestral animal based because of the nutrients and how I feel - I don’t believe you have to do this component - but eliminating processed and ultra processed junk and excess sugar consumption is vital for long term health besides healing eczema.
Thank you!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing your experience! I have to pin your comment. I agree with everything you've said!
Thank you for your sharing ❤
My gf is suffering from eczema and I’m doing all I can to learn about this condition so I can be there for her and help her through this situation.
Thank you for this video!
Wow, she is extremely blessed to have such a thoughtful boyfriend!!! Wishing her well!
Keep a food journal and slowly introduce foods only after eating for 2 weeks rice and meats no condiments like ketchup tomatos bad for eczema, face will clear also water or with lemon no caffinated drinks big nono
I saw a video of Dr. Berg Eczema and in the video he recommended BLACK CURRANT SEED OIL..well since I have had Eczema for 3 years now on my hands I figured what do I have to lose so guess what I bought it & within 2 weeks I saw AMAZING literally AMAZING progress almost 75% gone!!! I couldn't believe it!!! Dr.Berg says because in the Black Currant seed oil it has GLA Gamma Linoleic Acid which "we" are missing so I wanted to share my experience with you...try it she will be so happy 1 pill with food is what I do just watch the video of Dr. Berg Eczema.
She had parasite infection she need deworming
❤
Reminds me when you said "your body want to healthy, let's help them" in the old video that I have watched. That words helped me a lot. Thanks :)
Oh yes your body SO does wanna heal and you just gotta stay strong and keep the faith 💪🏻☺️
Eczema is not a skin problem- I totally agree with you
I hope more people know that!
Has anybody noticed?... That she is so beautiful... She do hv natural beauty...
Aww you are so kind! Thank you! Wishing you well :)
@@dawnforlife Hey... Did you gave birth to baby??.. cuz... There was no vlog about it so just curious 😂
I am deeply shocked by the lack of competence in young swiss doctors. my girlfriend has been struggling with eczema for a very long time and it's only getting worse. In the meantime her doctors say that it's basically normal to develop water allergy and similar symptoms in her age and with every visit she gets a new product and no further insight or advice. Now we will take the matter in our own hands with dietary change, eastern medicine etc., thank you for the video.
I have permanent solution for Eczema. No any food restriction, No creams, No medicines. But Just a single unique Natural Method.
She can try eating neem leaves or Azadiracta indica. They are very bitter but cures eczema.
I believe you. You make so much sense. I also don't believe it is a skin problem just a symptom of a bigger problem. Thank you for this video. 🙏🏽🇿🇦
I've had eczema since I was a baby & it's only gotten worst the older I've gotten....until I changed my diet & started eating Low Carb High (Healthy) Fat.
Whatever is happening inside you, shows up on you externally. Cut out all sugar & cure your gut ✌️
See satvic movement on RUclips, it can help
❤
Eczema can trigger from so many thing's, everyone is different, we could spend hours talking about it. I'm 41 and started getting Eczema on side of stomach 2 months ago. I was diagnosed with another auto immune disease a year prior which was definitely long term stress related, so now this, but I'm told if you get one auto immune disease, your prone to another.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You’re the ONLY person (doctors included) that has said this is not a skin problem. I was determined to find an answer for my newborn. I knew topical “solutions” were not the answer. You should do more videos about eczema, you’d dominate this topic because there’s not much content.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 😊
In the same position with my 6 month old. I’ve cut out gluten in my diet(I’m breastfeeding) and hoping that helps! Did you find out what worked for your baby?
thank u for ur videos! i wish doctors addressed the root of eczema instead of only recommending steroid creams. i’ve been disappointed by so many of these health professionals’ approach towards eczema. i found so many answers on youtube and your channel especially has helped me understand what i need to change in my lifestyle :) i’m malaysian too so hello from a fellow malaysian! ❤️
Hello! Malaysian! hehe Always so excited to "meet" someone from home now that I am not there anymore. Thanks for dropping your lovely comment. Appreciate you.
Very good emphasis on the mental part. Stress blew up my whole body, turned a 4-week old eczema into a erythroderma diagnosis. My lymph nodes were larger than the size of ping pong balls. Chronic stress is really hermful!!! Take time to take care of your mind, body, and soul.
Found out a while ago the cause of my eczema is a wheat sensitivity, if I eat wheat to often my eczema gets more flaky and itchy and bleeds more if I itch it, stopped eating wheat and my eczema went away thankfully
How long after u stopped wheat that ur eczema went off.
Hey glad you found the cause. But remember that ultimately, you should heal completely and be able to eat wheat products again, unless you have celiac disease :)
What doesn’t have wheat and what u can eat without bread everything have wheat or there’s nothing u can eat with out wheat/bread
@@dawnforlife is rice, such as brown rice, permitted in the daily diet?
@shaimaya1117 there's plenty of food without wheat/gluten. Try a whole foods diet of fruits, veggies, meat
Thank you so much for this channel! I have been struggeling with eczema for 25 years, had it all my life. I have literally tried everything! I have eczema now all over my legs and arms, and it is affecting my life in so many ways. This summer it almost went completely away but now its back worse then it has been in many Years.. I started my journey a couple of days ago. Bought probiotics and vegan food and nice oils, acai and detox powder. Cutting out all gluten and dairy and trying to pay attention to my triggers. Since i have lived with it all my life I was about to give up on it but this is my last hope. Really hope this works!
Gluten and dairy is exactly what I was thinking. I am currently in your situation but this post was made a month ago. Can you shed some light? Is it working?
How did it go? Did it get any better?
make your own probiotic by fermenting veggies ! it cures your gut. also sugar is a taboo!
How did it go?
Same story here it's over my arms, legs, back, shoulders and breast I'm trying allot of things to improve diet, clothing, environment ect.
I always was told my exczema would dissapear. To this day I have the same problems as a child. Ruff, dry or raw skin very itchy. Ive formed a habit of biting my nails so I don't scratch. I do "even though I shouldn't" take EXTREMELY HOT showers to sooth it. Most people will understand this takes the pain away but makes your skin worse. My diet is ridiculous because I work all over the place and it's quick and easy. I struggle to live right now, never mind get all the things I need. I'm a smoker because of the stress I've endured over the years. I found your channel and I'm ready to take serious steps. I'm 26 and I have always been the same shy, very quiet person. I wouldn't wish exczema on anyone. I feel very dirty in a way because of the state I get into. I'm ready for the steps and ready to improve myself. I thank you so much for your work and advice. I will update this thread in a month or so.... Xx
In the end it's pretty easy.
1. Eat only meat.
2. Drink only water.
3. Use hypoallergenic shampoos / soap / laundry detergent.
This is what everyone can try for a few days to start with and eczema will have calmed down.
Then add stuff to the food.
Personally for me this work.
I also would say main things to never consume are gluten, eggs, all fruits, for me personally at least.
And one other thing that actually might be the worst of them all is citric acid, if I eat anything with citric acid in it it's a guaranteed sleepless night because of itching
@@teka5509 thank you my friend I had some light treatment but nothing is a permanent fix. I’m used to it, I get the itching hot or spicy foods had to be thrown away, sleepless nights and a blotchy face are guaranteed
You're right! 😢
I'm going to detox my body.
My skin is reacting now because of my poor diet. I have eczema that's why im here in your channel because i am searching for people with the same experience that can help me.
I developed eczema like 3 months ago and I'm so frustrated because I also developed bacne and am already suffering from acne for many years. 😭 gosh thanks for this introduction to eczema. I'll try to be patient.
Thank you so much. I never had eczema before but i started to getting it about 2 years ago and it’s really frustrating.. i cannot wait to fix it
I am the same. No previous history of it. Had it for a month now. On another note, I was wondering about the ins and out of buying stocks recently because my friends were talking about it. Didn't think I'd find one looking for a cure to my eczema. Subscribed.
Agreed! Sugar flares mine out big time. Crappy eating in general.
It took doctor #7 to figure out my issue.
It’s Contact Dermatitis. It’s a form of eczema and I already had light eczema breakouts since 15.
Contact Dermatitis is a buildup of chemicals, essential oils, etc.
I’m do light detoxing with 6oz of celery first thing in the morning then a green smoothie. I started cutting out collagen in my coffee because my daughter read something about collagen being a trigger.
Other triggers for me are some dairy, wheat.
I stay low on sugars.
I completely agree with you 100% on how in the modern age, health and nutrition has been leaning towards unnatural ways. The food industry provides an endless amount of highly processed foods that are easily accessible to anyone, yet are toxic to our bodies. Pharmaceutical industries are mostly there to sell their products whilst not tackling the root causes of people’s diseases. It’s quite sad how we are turning away from our traditional and natural ways that our ancestors has worked so hard to cultivate for thousands of years for the sake of choosing convenience. Although science has made progress in learning about various diseases, there should also be room to advocate for the larger benefits of natural medicine. If only money wasn’t the driving force of these companies, everyone would have been awakened by now. There is a reason why the oldest people, such as the centenaries in Japan, are living so long. They just seem to know what they’re doing, look at their diet and see!
100%! So happy to connect with like minded people here! thank you for sharing !
I've had eczema all my life. I was born with it. I'm now 64 years old. I went to all kinds of allergists and dermatologists during my lifetime to really no avail. Not sure if diet has ever been an issue. Using strong detergents and soaps will cause breakouts from hell. A doctor told me once, I guess with my situation that it was caused by mold or dust mites. He suggested a good air filter. It went away for the first time in my life for 7 years, no trace. All of a sudden it's back. Just shows you how unpredictable and frustrating eczema is.
Sunbathing, no sunscreen. No sugar. No eggs. Jojoba oil with zinc oxide non nano. Lemon water with Himalayan pink salt and ginger. Try applying ghee at least twice a week.
Thanks for your video, we need to remember that the inside projects outward. I'd had eczema since childhood and when in Uni, met a Ghanaian lady who told me that eczema was a "blood problem," and I had to detoxify my blood with bitters. (Alafia bitters). Over a year later, I actually purchased the bitters and since taking them for that singular course (3 days), I have not had another flare up. It's been roughly 6 years since then.
Wow! Just three days of bitters and cured for 6 years!? That is amazing info! Thanks for sharing! I hope some people here can try and I hope it works for them too!
@@dawnforlife Yeah I guess I wiped out whatever inflammation I had. I know that worked for me may not have the same exact effect on another, but thought of sharing my experience in case someone else may benefit.
It has been 1week since your comment posted. How are you doing?
Best explanation of eczema ever! Thank you!
I'm so glad you found it so, thanks Rashida :)
@@dawnforlife hey can we eat goat meat for sebborrhic dermatitis
is it bad or good? please reply me
I always get eczema during the summer time the heat the sweet makes it burn. I get it behind my leg and knee. It’s so painful and itchy I try to put special lotion and it doesn’t work. I’m embarrassed to wear shorts because it’s scaring my skin please help me with the scaring and the itch also what I can do better when the heat comes around.
For me the only thing that helps is steroid creams. I have “hand eczema” severely in the summer.
Imagine having it in the centre of your face 😢
Recently I had an eczema flare up 😭 I'm glad I found your video ❤️
flare ups suck
This is all 100% true! Thanks for this video :)
Thanks Kel! =D
Your so right about doctors only understing if they've been through it themselves. Very helpful and super kind
Yes..it's sad and we can't blame them because that was how they were trained. You are welcome :)
This is what most Chinese herb doctor say as well, I developed eczema years ago and to clear my guts I've stopped eating beef, shell seafood, spicy food and sadly uncooked food like icecream and salads. Also have to eat or do activities that makes my blood circulation run better to help the metabolism of my body. And the eczema disappeared. I notice that I will get eczema back when I eat a lot of sushi and icecream 😅 but you know, those are hard to cut out sometimes. But ultimately, everyone's guts are different so it's really up to the person to find out what their guts can tolerate. I know that for my friend she is more sensitive to eggs now.
Thank you so much. I have been eating healthy and taking the probiotics you recommended but still I have been getting impatient. You reminded me that healing takes time. I definitely need to meditate and relax more. Love your approach and voice. You're lovely. Thanks.
Hey Molly, I'm very very happy you are reminded to be patient. Healing takes time and sometimes it may seem like two steps forward one step back or even one step forward two steps back, but just remember, forward IS forward.
Sending you love
@@dawnforlife thank you so much! Sometimes it's easy to forget this when you're struggling on your own. I'm hoping mine will heal up in the next few weeks as I'm getting married. It is nothing too bad, only a little on my face but still it would be sad if I had it then. I'm feeling much more positive now though. You are right forward is forward! Take care xx
Aww congratulations Molly! EVEN if you still have it on wedding day, dontdespair and rejoice that you are marrying a great man who looks beyond appearances 🥰💓
@@dawnforlife sorry for not replying sooner. I've been on holiday and have little Internet but thank you for your kind comment. My fiancee is a wonderful man. I'm so lucky to have him in my life (and he's lucky to have me too of course hehe). Good news I think the relaxation of holiday has been just what I needed for healing. Even though I am eating the odd sorbet and having a glass of good wine in the evenings my eczema has almost completely healed. I think it's a combination of reduced stress, sun and sea. For anyone suffering I recommend some time away from home if you can manage. Also I am continuing to take good probiotics and drinking kombucha while away.
@@mollyaitken4399 Yes I agree! How our mind and gut connection will also affect not just eczema but overall health and vitality. Once again, congratulations to both of you =D
Thank you doc,Hi,,"What should you eat every day to cleanse your intestines? What food should i eat to clean my gut..i also suffer for eczema
Thank you for this video ! 🙏🏽❤️ glad to have discovered you .
You are the greatest I'm in tears listening to this
Thanks Timothy! I hope you feel better soon :)
Can you do a video on the stages of Eczema healing.
Some people say that before it improves it spreads a little but, gets dry and then calms down. A number of such spikes/flare ups are expected but every time the intensity reduces as the body detoxifies it self on a good diet and lifestyle.
I already have a video on that but everyone heals very differently so mine may not be the same as someone else and mine was probably also steroids withdrawal.
Thank you! I had eczema as a child and it’s come back over the last 2 years and nothing has been working - Subscribed and ready to start recovering! 💪🏽
EVERY THING HAS A ROOT.....Therefore EVERYTHING COMES FROM WITHIN. So Akways Love Yourself and Each other and whenever there is an imbalance, then address it as naturally as possible. X
Perfectly said! 💛
@@dawnforlife Thank You very much Dawn. We were all created as perfect as possible. The big pharmas need phasing out and a whole new treatment system needs putting into place. We can start with a different more natural immunising system in mind which could be as simple as everything we eat has been grown properly and naturally which boosts up the immune system. And more natural cannabis treatments as we have cannabis receptors in our bodies. Yes our bodies actually want cannabis and are ready to work with it. That's why it stays in your system the longest on the roadside test which is testing for alcohol and other substances. Your body kicks alcohol out the quickest as it is actually the worst fir you, so all those wine heads that look at weed people like big druggies need to be educated correctly. Cannabis stays in our systems for 2 weeks because it is most welcome. Our bodies are amazing and react to what we do. I will never ever donate to Any Cancer charities ever again. Be as natural as possible. Buying an aloe vera plant is also a great idea so when your skin is a bit sensitive or blemish then Vera is the lady. ....that's why its ' .. ('Hello Vera.........come on in)
Excellent analogy! Great video
You are such a life saver, Dawn! Thank you so much for this video ♥️♥️
I'm so glad it is helpful!!! Wishing you well! 💛
Thank you Dawn for sharing this video. You are spot on and tell it like it is. Recently I developed eczema and doctors will prescribe anti-itch cremes and steroid pills for eczema and this only mask the rash inflammation. They will not tell you that the diet you're eating is the main culprit. It's a shame I will not be able to eat and enjoy Japanese food anymore. Nevertheless, keep up the great videos! Arrigato from Rowland Heights, CA
I have been eating a gluten free vegan diet and I got food poisoning from some vegetables from the supermarket and when I traveled to another state for vacation I flared up all over my arm, hands, and legs . I’m not sure what it is that triggers it but it is very frustrating to do everything correctly , restricting what I eat and still end up getting it. Thankyou for this video It helped me somewhat understand why it occurs every summer.
Hey I'm very glad that this is helpful for you. Restrictions can be really stressful especially when travelling! I feel for you. Just know that vegan and gluten free may not always be the healthiest, it is eating of whole real foods and having a strong digestion that helps us be healthy. 😊
@@dawnforlife Thankyou!
It just came out of nowhere like a week ago, been scratching my stomach like crazy.
I just found your videos about eczema few days ago and very happy to watch this new video as well. I am suffering from eczema for two years now and doctor just gave me steroid and anti itchy pills, of course it didn’t heal my eczema from truly inside, What you have talked in those video convinces me to try what you recommend. I ordered the probiotic, surprisingly it is made by Japanese doctor so I am Japanese but didn’t know him and his product! I hope the product matches my body. I love how you are positive and I am really thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Have a great day!
Sumimasen! Ahhh i love Japan!!! Ohhh Dr Ohhira is amazing! May whole family take his product. Even my dog hahah though they have a different gut bacteria, when they are sick my mom gives it to them 🙈😆.
I wish you well Pon Bon! Be patient, it will take time.
Arigatou Dawn san! Japan loves you, too ;-)
I am trying to do my best with my patient to heal my body now. Little by little I have been watching your videos more and getting know about you more these days :-) I like your happy smile and healthy life style as well :-))
Do you mind if I ask question? You mentioned that you are light sleeper in one of your videos. How did you deal with eczema attack like itchiness or uncomfortableness when you wanted to sleep? I am also light sleeper and struggling to sleeping with having eczema, so I thought maybe you had some similar experience.
Wishing you and your husband all the best :-) :-)
Thank you Dawn for this video. Looking forward to the next!
My joy! Thanks warrior! ☺️
Thank you a lot, now I see eczema from a different point of view, you have a beautiful heart.
Thank you and I wish you well 😊
Thank you for this video, it makes a ton of sense to me
Pure liquid black soap has proven to be one of the best for skin with psoriasis and eczema : )
Does it sting on eczema? And does it heal it completely?
This is excellent info! Praise the Lord ! 😀
Glad it was helpful! Praise the Lord indeed! 😊
How long did it take you to get rid of the eczema ?
Drink, drink, drink. Drink a lot more water than before. This saved me.
SO glad you found what works!
Acupuncture is life saving. You can literally eliminate the environmental and food causes of eczema. The rest is up to maintaining a low stress, happy, and healthy lifestyle.
You mean acupuncture eliminated your food and environmental sensitivities?
I think I am in Love thank you never used to have a problem but it blows up now when I have a drink.
🥰😆 with me or the content?! hahaha! AND alcohol is a big one, especially red wine!
Stress also like you said negative thoughts when I feel stress I feel the flare up coming
Yes! Stress is a big toxin to the body.
This makes so much sense. My baby has severe eczema. I’ve made some changes but I know I need to make more
I feel so bad my baby has eczema 😢 almost like it’s my fault. He has gone through a lot since birth
YOu are doing your best and that is enough! When we learn better, we do better. You are a great mom!
@@lupitadiaz1059 I feel for you. My 18 month old has eczema. Probably because I have Crohn’s and allergies. I love him so much, I feel like I did this to him. Ima pray for all of us, God is gonna help us through this.
I disagree that eczema is not a skin problem. My breastfed infant got eczema. The dermatologist gave my baby a low potency steroid. I was scared when i saw how it all cleared up in less than a week. But i realised i cannot give her steroid all the time. It will lead to more diseases in the future. Hence i began my experiments. Of course my baby was breastfed. My experiments taught me to keep my baby's skin hydrated during the dry seasons. India being a tropical country we sweat a lot. So i kept her in AC during hot temp because she developed eczema only in those places where she perspired. I bathed her in neem water which cleared up her eczema in a week without any medicine at all. I massaged her with neem, olive, coconut oil mixed together when i didn't have neem water. Changing her detergent, or wearing only cotton clothes, or switching to cloth diaper didn't work either. I just had to be careful with what is ON her skin which can trigger her eczema. After months of such experiments she was eczema free as long as i kept her skin clean & hydrated. Just one mistake on my side could trigger her eczema & it did happen. But now since i know how to control it I'm not scared anymore. So i learnt that it's a skin problem of not a skin disease. As long as I avoid triggers she's fine..She eats & drinks everything.
Thanks for the valuable information provided.
Thank you for your videos. Very helpful. I have a five month old baby with neurodermitis. I had to search videos about it for ideas and tips and yours is the best.
I'm so happy you found it helpful! It must be heartbreaking to see your baby suffering, you are a strong mama and I wish you will find healing and comfort while at it! Big hug!
Thank you for the guidance and good advice Dawn. YAKULT is a great prebiotic.
clicking this video to find cure of my eczema huhuhu I hope to help me thru this!!!
I hope so too dear!
It's very frustrating my baby has extreme eczema! He keeps scratching it's so painful for me to see his skin
I wish him well 😔, did you had eczema when you was pregnant with him?
Your absolutely right. 👏
Hey Dawn! Thank you for another great video on products that can be used with eczema or things to avoid....
I have a question as someone who has:
- sensitive skin
- skin that is especially thin on my cheeks
- whole face and neck area are in a constant state of dry, cracking and flaky
What's a good ALTERNATIVE for Vaseline in the WINTER (When I wake up in the morning, everything is overly dry and I don't use a heater or anything).
I used to use a cortisone ointment especially on the are between my nose and lips as it has always been a problem area, but I stopped using that and turned to coconut oil and vaseline, but I know vaseline is bad... just don't know what to use that can last through the night so that my skin isn't painfully dry and cracking.
BTW I have started a gut health diet, so this is more for in the mean time while my body fixes itself. 😊
Thank you for reading 🙏
I feel you Christina!!! I've always have combination skin but due to "growing older" and moving to the driest area in Switzerland, I've had to deal with dry skin.
I recommend you watching my sensitive skin video : ruclips.net/video/O3O8UIkQAAQ/видео.html
I highly recommend the pure vit E oil if you want to use just one thing. =)
I'm not sure, I changed my diet, low carb etc, it doesn't work.
This is true . Never in my life I had eczema until now at 50. What a coincidence that my dr asks me if I am alcoholic bc my liver doesn’t look good 😂.Lol , no I don’t drink but I did take a bunch of supplements who might have screwed ip my liver .Looks like there is connection between liver and eczema or liver and skin in general. I already started fasting 😎.
I appriciated to your advise, for now i will try my best ☺🙆🌷
Thanks for this video Dawn! Shared it on FB :D
Thanks dear! So sweet of you 🙂
Can we eat Indian pulses ,garlic. Green chilli.
well im suffering eczema for 25 yrs im 29 now and still have them. i never really experience wearing short outside the house and i got bullied during my b
highschool days.
Never wore shorts too. Too self conscious.... Have u started the vegan diet ?
@@sadwawa1611 no actually have you tried it?
kimberly jules fuentes I started 5 days ago. So I can’t say much yet. I used to take antihistamine every night for the last 6 months and I stopped it like 2 days ago. So far my itching has improved. Also, I used to have stomach bloating problem I noticed that has improved drastically. I would recommend u to try. On top of that, u should also try a skin prick test if u haven’t yet done it. I have done some allergy shots becuase I have allergy to dust mites. That has also helped
Thank You. I have work to do. I’ll checo back and give results
Looking forward to you sharing your journey!
I totally relate to this!! 💕 I've experienced exactly this
Glad you could relate :)
How bout babies? What type of gut issues or imbalance can they develop?
Should I stop dupixent injections (it's for eczema) before I start this healthier lifestyle? I bought a book that mentioned celery juicing as well as heavy metal smoothies. I wanted to try them but I'm not sure if I should start it after halting my injections or not. I know for sure I have a unhealthy gut that accumulated for many years, but I'm just lazy to cleanse. Haha
Great analogy!!!
Thank you!
Hi, Dawn! Glad to have found your channel... I'm in week-30 of pregnancy now, and this is the first time I'm dealing with ezcema. There are some itchy and red spots on my back which cause me sleep issues. I've just watched your video on what healthy food to avoid for eczema, I wonder what about ezcema diet during pregnancy? Could you shed some lights on that area? Thanks a lot! Cheers from Malaysia 🇲🇾🎉
Heyyy I'm so sorry to hear that you are suffering with eczema! Our bodies are under quite some stress trying to grow a healthy baby and that can sometimes make it harder to detox.
I was already completely healed when I got pregnant so I'd say focus more on quality of food instead of what to eat. We don't want you to miss out on important nutrients to grow your precious one. So, the least processed the better. Home cooked meals with high quality (organic meat/eggs when possible or at least animals that get fresh air aynd be outside at least a few hours a day, or whatever best you can get), no msg, eat a variety of fruits and veggies. I think papaya, some watermelon, beetroot, pumpkin are all great choices. Reduce tomatoes, brinjal or you can still try and see how you feel. For me, tomatoes are not my friend when I had eczema. Ah so much to share..if I can make a video on something more specific, let me know. I'll try to make it happen.
All the best and congratulations on your pregnancy! :)
@@dawnforlife thank you very much for your kind reply, Dawn 😍 God bless you and your loved ones!
Ow yes, Sister; just like any auto-immune condition (rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, etc...), some kinds of depression and even Parkinson's, the origin of the problem is not on the spot where it manifests, but elsewhere, like you say in the gut. Leaky gut condition is the cause. The only doctors who approach the problem this way are practitioners of Functional Medicine. My question: why it is always people with great (inner) beauty who get into this kind of mess ?
Yes I agree with you! As with people with inner beauty only.. I am not sure but everyone has their own struggles, I’m sure :)
Very true
My mom smoke and drink while pregnant with me. I started getting adult acne at 23 and eczema now at 26. I'm fed up. Also a slew.of other health issues.
My mom told me she never drank with me but she did with my brother I wonder if she did with me as well. Im going to the doctor tomorrow to see why I'm having hives all over my body I wonder if it's eczema. Any ways I feel your pain with the acne part.
Thank you for great video
Help me so much.😄
I suffer from contact dermatitis. Does this advice also apply to me?
In this eczema dieseas to do a proper diet avoid all junk food may i right?
Use castor oil to apply on the eczema skin daily. It will clear between 7-10 days.
Where can someone get castor oil
Mine got worse.
@@joycewright5386Yikes! Really?
@@kellyroberts9140 yes
Some are actually allergic to castor oil 🫤
Everyone take this with a grain of salt please, its true that skin rashes can develop internally, but for a lot of people it is a skin problem where the skin can't hold moisture and becomes dry and cracks. When that happens your skin is vulnerable to anything and everything. Don't use lotion instead use heavy moisturizer creams like cerva or repcillian, and use vaseline lock it in. To say that all rashes on the skin develop from the gut is foolish and disproven by the fact that you can rashes through: bug bites, posion ivy, dry skin. External or Internal
I see where you are coming from but I don't think I mention all skin rashes because obviously there are external causes like you mentioned. However, from my experience, long term use of external moisturiser is pretty much useless if internally is not taken care of. I agree with you to take everything with a grain of salt because everyone's healing journey is different. Thanks for your input nevertheless. :)
I wish I found this video years ago!
Can you develop atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis and dyshidrotic eczema all at the same time? Because I did. I have eczema on the back of my thighs which are darkened now from itching and they say too much use of steroid creams. I developed it since childhood. And up until now, I still get them especially during my period. I feel extremely insecure about it because of the hyperpigmentation, that I couldn’t wear a bikini.
Then I have seborrheic dermatitis which started during highschool. I thought it was only a dandruff problem but I noticed that they doesn’t itch that much and are much smaller than actual dandruff. I think the culprit was those chemicals in permanent hair straighteners that I used during middle school 🙈 Now I am suffering from extremely flaky scalp. And just recently at age 25, I developed dyshidrotic eczema. I haven’t been diagnosed because I don’t want to use creams for it anymore provided by dermatologists, but I figured it is dyshidrotic eczema since it developed rough patches and blisters on the top of my foot in between my toes. Anyone know why am I suffering from all these types of eczema at once? Is this some kind of major of health related problems? Thanks!
Hey! I've all 3. Recently my eczema got worse, drs prescribed steroids ointments and creams and moisturizers and tablets, but after stopping it, the flare up is worst! I'm so tired of the intense itch at night, and the affected skin bleeds due to it. If you find any natural cure that is less expensive, please msg me. Thanks.
@@remyacccazadiracta indica or neem leaves is a proven herb 🌿 for eczema.
have you tried fasting? and does it help for your eczema?
I have not actually but heard it works well for some people! If you try it and it works, please let us know!
Very true dear. I discovered that all kinds of nuts also trigger a bad breakout. I love nuts😢
I used to love nuts too! Especially salted cashews, I could eat them all at one go but looking back, they did make me feel not quite good. But after stopping for a while and liking other types of food, I find myself not excited to eat or crave them anymore :)
I completely agree with this. I'm saving up some money to get a microbiome gut test to see what's the issue.
Great! I hope you will find the root cause soon!
Hello, while you had your eczema you avoided certain food like dairy, meat etc... Now when you are healed do you eat those foods without any problem?
Hey Dora, you can check out this video where I talk in detail of my "method" and history. =D

Detoxing body is most important
Your So Sweet. Thank You for the information 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
You are so welcome! 💛
How can I start to detox my guts ? Taking probiotics and drinking green juices?
I think apple cider vinegar might help. but do do research before drinking
46 years now i have been fighting this eczema... so tired of it...
I can understand..Hope you will find some form of healing/comfort.
I have permanent solution for Eczema. No any food restriction, No creams, No medicines. But Just a single unique Natural Method
What kind of doctor would you suggest to visit? Because for me its not eczema, the previous doctor said i have an atopic skin, which she didnt explained much,instead prescribed me of lots and lots of expensive creams and all.
Atopic IS eczema, it's just a general term from skin problems like eczema. Hmm.. I would suggest a naturopath doctor.
@@dawnforlife yes but here in my area its hard to find a doctor who dont offer such an expensive treatments, im looking for doctor who offers natural based. What i have is like break outs from eating fatty or dairy products but i dont the scaly skin like what a normal eczema looks like.which i find myself lucky enough
@@nikkib8665 Yep, that is a very mild form but it is your body signalling that digestive system is not at its strongest because dairy and fatty food are harder on the digestion.
I've heard osteopaths can give good results long term too. Since it is so mild, you can consider the tips I've given in other videos to help your body remove toxins or see one when you move to Switzerland. Many insurances cover a certain amount for alternative medicine. :)
@@dawnforlife thank u so much. Yes ive watched it,most of the options u mentioned i couldnt find it here,instead im just using plant based products and im taking hepasil for antioxidant. And im not eating fatty or too much dairies.
@@nikkib8665 Try to cut out anything that triggers you and when your digestive system gets healthier, you can always reintroduce. :)
I just have a big doubt. I eat the same during the summer and my eczema is waaaaaay better. Why is that? I feel like the winter season just make it really worse no matter what I eat, does that happen to you too?
Where do you live? Usually I hear people say it is worse in summer. Is it very dry where you are? It does make sense to me why yours is good in summer. In Ayurveda, when the sun is strong, our digestive fire is stronger. So perhaps look into your digestion.
Same here, every winter mine got worse .
@@dawnforlife I'm in Barcelona, Spain. Yes, it could be. It's amazing to know how the sun can really affect us. Thank you, I'll read more about it :)
What happens when it’s not really a rash, just those bumps and it’s only on your fingers? Do you know anything about that?
It could either be something you touched (skincare/wash/plants..etc) that you are sensitive to and it's an allergic reaction or it could be also a weak immune system/gut related.
Hi
Thanks for such nice and informative video.
I have 14 months baby and she is suffering from eczema since she was 6 weeks old like after her 1st vaccination, she is allergic to dairy, nuts and coconut and so many other things,
Do can you please help me out with yout studies, which way is more helpful
OH dear..I'm so sorry to hear, it must be heartbreaking to see your child suffer :( Her immune system probably overreacted to the vaccine and most vaccines have a high dose of aluminium. Over time, her body will be able to slowly detox but maybe you can research on some heavy metal detox suitable for children. For now I guess just keep to whole foods that does not flare her up. Avocados for healthy fats, bananas and all types of fruits should do good for her. If she is breastfeeding, maybe watch your diet too. If she is not, consider organic (raw when possible and heated just to almost boiling) goat's milk instead of cow's.
So how do you heal the leaky gut, please be as specific as possible
Leaky gut doesn't exist. It's a pseudo science fib, don't let anyone tell you it's real. You might want to watch the Jilly Juice series, it kind of catalogues the silliness of leaky gut
Excellent advice.thanks
Thank you Irfan , wishing you well!
Carbohydrates, fructose (which is a carbohydrate but I mention it explicitly because it's especially evil), alcohol, high processed foods, vegetable oils - avoid all of these! Even if you don't suffer with eczema.
Agree!
My sister is 10 year old, she was diagnosed with eczema and her allergic report says her all pannel are positive and dr said she need to go with only a particular food habbit. Then someone suggested us for homeopathic treatment which was claimed to be cure her but It made the situation worsen up. Her skin became black and shading continuously so we returned to allopathic treatment. Dr gave her some injection, then diff dr were suggesting diff therapies then we follow the one who said that the suppress her immune system because it's hyperactive. These immune suppressing medication led her to the sever pancreatic infection which by god blessing she suffered. But now she can't take any medicine and her allergy is uncontrollable would you please help
How long did it take you on the clean diet and following the whole regimen to Heal from eczema? And after healing, how often are you able to eat meat, dairy, gluten, etc. without eczema coming back?
It was very gradual and after my skin healed in about 4-5 months, it took a total of three years to be not so sensitive. I can eat everything now and like I said in this video, if you can get good quality dairy/meat/properly prepared grains, you can still eat them moderately. Bone broth from a good source is good, a little meat ok too.
dawn for life in Switzerland thank you so much for your videos!!! I’ve been following your advice with good results! I especially like the serum you recommended!!
Hi Dawn, thank you for this explanation. How did you cope with the itchiness and what was your healing story, was healing up and down? Did you get flare ups during healing?
Also when you mention the fish tank analogy, to detox did you do any types of fasting or enemas etc to clear out your gut it did you just use diet?
Sorry for all the questions but l am in the healing process.. lm currently covered in excema and so tempted to use steroid creams the doctors insist on but l am really trying to refrain and be strong.
Thank you
