Eczema is a form of dermatitis and a common skin condition. Eczema can lead to dry, red, and itchy skin. It usually appears during infancy but can also develop in older people. It is often linked to hereditary causes and a disposition towards allergies in children. Scratching on the inflamed skin can cause it to become damaged, broken, and open to infections. The most commonly used treatment for eczema is applying steroid cream to the affected area. One can effectively stop the redness and itching, but it does nothing to treat the underlying cause of eczema. Symptoms often return once the use of the cream is stopped. Continuous use of steroid cream can also lead to thinning of the skin. Anger, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem can also be psychological causes of eczema.
How It Workes...
The use of reiki as a complementary therapy and making changes in the diet, dietary supplements, and foods that the person is allergic to can greatly reduce eczema and the underlying cause of eczema. Reiki can bring about relaxed mental states, which can lead to eczema going away.
