GeneticsPeople with family members who have eczema have a higher chance of developing this condition.
AllergiesThis condition is often triggered and exacerbated during seasonal allergies.  
Immune systemIf a person has disruptions in their immune system, it may lead to the development of the disease.  

Common symptoms of eczema include:  

  • Severe itching;  
  • Inflamed areas of skin on the body;  
  • Dry skin;  
  • Peeling skin;  
  • Increased sensitivity in affected areas of skin.

Naturopathic eczema treatment includes two solutions to the problem: alleviating and preventing itching, and addressing the underlying issue that triggers the development of atopic dermatitis. The approach to treating this condition may involve various naturopathic treatment methods. Among the common methods of natural eczema treatment are:  

  1. Identifying and preventing eczema triggers;  
  2. Identifying allergens and immune irritants, and calming the immune system during the treatment period;
