EMU OIL CAN HELP TREAT ECZEMA & PSORIASIS

Eczema ( atopic dermatitis ) is a chronic skin disorder affecting all age groups. Eczema is a form of dermatitis and the term is broadly applied to a range of persistent skin conditions. Symptoms of eczema include itching skin, skin swelling, blistering, cracking, dry skin, rashes, bleeding rashes, reddish patches on the skin and sometimes pus is also formed on the skin rashes.

Eczema can be triggered by some irritants. To prevent irritation, minimize the use of harsh soaps and detergents, solvents, and other drying compounds. Allergens in the air and in food are often triggers for a flare-up of this disorder..Allergy testing is helpful in determining what allergens to avoid Stress can also lead to eczema even as decreased flow of blood and deficiency in nutrients like vitamins can also cause eczema.
Dietary elements that have been reported to trigger eczema included dairy products, coffee, soybean products, eggs, nuts, wheat and maize, though food allergies may vary from person to person

There is no known cure for eczema, thus treatments aim to control the symptoms: reduce inflammation and relieve itching. Dermatitis is often treated with corticosteroids. They do not cure eczema, but are effective in controlling or suppressing symptoms in many cases. Prolonged use of topical corticosteroids is thought to increase the risk of possible side effects, such as thinning, fragile skin. Because of this, if used on the face or other delicate skin, only a low-strength steroid should be used.
Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Moisturizing is one of the most important self-care treatments for sufferers of eczema. Keeping the affected area moistened can promote skin healing and relief of symptoms.

Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious autoimmune disease that affects the skin and joints. It commonly causes red, scaly patches to appear on the skin. The scaly patches, called psoriatic plaques, are areas of inflammation and excessive skin production. Skin rapidly accumulates at these sites and takes on a silvery-white appearance. These plaques frequently occur on the skin of the elbows and knees, but can affect any area including the scalp and genital. Psoriasis can vary in severity from minor localized patches to complete body coverage.

No one knows what causes psoriasis, though it is generally accepted that it has a genetic component. Skin cells switch from the normal production rate program to excelerated production and growth rate. They are pushed to the surface in as little as 2-4 days and the skin cannot shed the cells fast enough, forming the silvery-white plaque. The redness of the psoriatic lesions is caused by increased blood supply to the area of rapidly dividing skin cells.
Whether a person actually develops psoriasis may depend on something triggering a person who has a genetic tendency to develop psoriasis. This in turn triggers the immune system to over produce skin cells.. Examples of triggers include systemic infections such as strep throat, injury to the skin, vaccinations, certain medications, and intra-muscular injections or oral steroid medications.

Various kinds of temporary relief are available, and they work with varying degrees of success. Medicated creams and ointments applied directly to psoriatic plaques can help reduce inflammation, remove built-up scale and reduce skin turn over. Bath solutions and moisturizers such as Emu Oil may help soothe affected skin and reduce the dryness which accompanies the build-up of skin in the psoriatic plaques. Emu Oil is a “tissue nutrient”, and may help to normalize skin cell growth perhaps reduce the excessive cell growth which causes the plaques. It is not possible to predict the effectiveness of various products for everyone. Each persons’ body is different, and each person must try Emu Oil themselves to discover its effectiveness
