Alternative Treatment for Eczema


People in our community are constantly looking for & asking about Alternative Treatments for Eczema & Allergic Rashes. While I personally am more than happy to use steroid creams when prescribed (I have seen not only the clinical evidence but the written that there is no long term ill effect when topical steroids are used for short periods) I can understand why people are hesitant to use them.

Aside from the standard Goats Milk Soap, Oatmeal baths & taking a swim in the ocean there are other great options available. While these may not be suitable for everyone, Its great to know what options are available.

There has been strong evidence to suggest the use of Pro & Prebiotics can have a great effect on eczema, As can taking an Omega 3,6 & 9 preparation. Bamboo has amazing antibacterial & anti-fungal properties & is also temperature regulating which is great for people who itch when they get too hot or cold.

There is also Silver.
Silver has been used for hundreds of thousands of years for healing skin. In hospitals we have used silver bandages & creams to heal burns for years. Silver is also now available in clothing & we are seeing some Amazing results from people in the Allerchic Community.


The manufacturers Silversoothe TM share:
We are delighted to introduce our eczema nightwear range using the combination of 100% pure Organic cotton and 47th Element Silver technology. For thousands of years silver has been valued for the natural anti-bacterial properties it provides.

Did you know that Roman soldiers used silver to prevent the growth of bacteria in their water supplies? Today silver is recognised by NASA and hospitals for the ability to prevent infections and offer effective natural healing. 
For some time we have been aware that silver in colloidal form is effective in the battle against itchy eczemaWith new nano-technology it is now possible to add silver ions to cotton fibres to ease the night-time itches.Cotton clothing is recommended by Dermatologists as being the best natural product, allowing eczematous skin to breathe,absorbing body moisture and wicking it away from the skin therefore helping to regulate body temperature.
We all have, and need, both good and bad bacteria on our skin, however, natural moisture can allow an overgrowth of bacteria and micro-organisms to develop and lead to allergic reactions and infections. It is well established that eczema is prone to secondary infection. 
The natural silver ions in our nightwear remove bacteria overgrowth and prevent the spread of organisms and risk of secondary infection.
