The eczema is the most common skin diseases. Is a particular inflammation of the skin with regard to various internal and external factors and includes many changes, the most common of which are contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis and dermatitis seborroica.The contact dermatitis is an occupational disease triggered by specific substances, typical of photographers, hairdressers, beauticians, painters, bricklayers, cleaners, health personnel and other workers who are to manage chemicals particularly aggressive. It is recognized for the first phase of awareness, followed by the skin reaction after repeated contact with the substance responsible for the dermatitis. Initially, the disease is most often located in the area of the skin where it was touch and then develop in different stages, starting with a skin rash (erythematous stage), then spots appear on the vesicles, and to break the blisters, there is leakage of  serous exudate, the exudate is represented in crusts and finally, when the lesion is moving towards healing, there is a process of keratinization with the formation of scales. If the process is cronicizza for the continuation of contact with the substance, the skin is thicker and then can spread to other parts of the skin, even far from primitive location.
Dermatitis and allergies
The atopic dermatitis is a chronic allergic-type responses that produces abnormal compared to normal environmental stimuli. It is often associated with rhinitis and asma. The lesions are most often located on the face, near the folds of wrists, elbows and knees. It can occur at any age, is very common in children and in half of cases disappear within 18 months of age.Seborroica dermatitis is characterized by an alteration in the composition of sebum that is more rich in cholesterol, triglycerides and paraffins. The infant is also called milky crust and affects the scalp, is manifested by a reddening and spotting fat, squamous, yellowish, sometimes it forms a thick canopy that covers his head. In any case, there is no itching.The eczema, in particular the allergic form, affects from 2.4 to 7% of the population. In two thirds of stakeholders have a family history positive and the cases are a lot of improvement as a result of changes in food. Many studies have documented the role of food allergies in these disorders, such as breast-feeding is essential for prevention. And when the eczema appears, despite breast-feeding, because there was a passage of allergens through breast milk. In such cases we must ask mothers to avoid consuming food to which they are allergic.Often those responsible are prevalence of milk and derivatives, eggs, peanuts and chocolate to a lesser extent, wheat and citrus. In most cases, eliminating the causes prevalence of healing is complete. In a study these foods were behind 81% of cases of eczema, while another 60% of children with severe atopic dermatitis had a positive test food for eggs, cow's milk, peanuts, wheat, fish and soy. Theoretically, any food can cause allergy so it is good to check what the food by disturbed or kinesologici allergy test or an elimination diet. A simple elimination of milk and derivatives, eggs, peanuts, tomatoes, artificial coloring and preservatives leads to remission in at least 75% of cases.
Bluefish and blueberries
In subjects suffering from atopic dermatitis the intestinal mucosa is particularly permeable that you have a greater antigenic load on the immune system that is the port hyperstimulation and the additional risk of developing allergies or food intolerance. Another important factor seems to be excessive proliferation of Candida albicans (a fungus) in the intestines. In these cases, remedies such as extract of grapefruit seeds, capable of eliminating intestinal candida, can improve many types of eczema.Often, those who suffer most are constitutionally brought suffering to alter the metabolism of essential fatty acids and prostaglandins, so we recommend taking foods rich in omega-3 as fish oil, or more simply the consumption of fatty fish (mackerel, salmon, herring), or oil of cold-pressed flax.Other healing foods are rich in flavonoids such as blueberry (in fruit juice or cold) and green tea. Even zinc is an important element in the metabolism of essential fatty acids, low levels of this mineral are common in patients suffering from eczema, so we recommend the consumption of oilseeds (sesame, sunflower, pumpkin, etc.) that are particularly rich. Very useful in these cases is the integration with vitamin E and A of which are very rich oil wheat germ, fruits and vegetables orange.
Avoid dairy products and meats
The most disturbing factor is the nell'eczema itching, but scratch is very harmful because it determines in the Taglietti injuries and skin that facilitate the entry of bacteria and it aggravates the lichenificazione, namely the appearance of corneal layers and dry the area. The emotional tension may worsen and cause itching in these subjects, which generally have higher levels of anxiety, hostility and neurosis compared with control subjects.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the eczema is considered a disease from moisture and heat, there is a 'wind' and sometimes a lack of blood. Even if the eczema is dry at the base, there is an imbalance of the spleen with accumulation of moisture can not reach the skin surface. The heat is visible in the redness of the skin lesions, infiammazione, and the wind in itching. When the heat prevails, the lesions are at the top of the body (the heat goes up) when the prevailing humidity, the itching is smaller and more localized lesions are near the bottom of the body below the navel (the humidity goes down).As for food, thus to avoid the foods that produce moisture dairy products, juicy fruit (not oranges, apples better), excessive amounts of raw vegetables and flour, it is better to eat cooked vegetables and whole grain cereals. Against excessive heat should be avoided meats, dry foods, spices spicy, onion, garlic, mussels, prawns, fried and grilled firings. The excess heat is transformed into fire that generates the wind, which can make the symptoms of itching (when a forest fire is the fire heats the air, becoming lighter, moves and creates wind), as well as from the heat wind can be produced by vacuum blood or climb the yang vacuum kidney.In these cases you need to nourish the blood invigorate the spleen that produces it through food processing, and kidney that generates the nourishing marrow. To invigorate the spleen and blood we recommend cereals in grains, the mochi (rice cake panetto) and beet red. The kidney may be toning with gomasio, algae and azuki beans cooked with seaweed Kombu.The heat can result from a stagnation of Qi liver from emotional causes: dissatisfaction, frustration, anger and repressed there may be un'irritabilita and un'ansieta base. To rebalance the liver is advised of miso soup (pates based on a fermented corn and soybeans to be added at the end of cooking), dandelion, green leafy vegetables.It is also advisable not to wear rough clothes and wash with soap delicate rinsed repeatedly, to avoid exposure to chemical irritants that may cause skin irritation, and an exercise that involves excessive sweating. Are recommended walks in the green.In conclusion, we can observe that the results of scientific studies and research on food allergies, match the dictates of the Chinese diet based on the physiology of energy. The person who suffers from eczema which is a clear constitutional provision, nutrition is of fundamental importance for the correction of a land that tends to manifest its imbalances in the skin. So through a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet can heal the disorder and regain health.
