Infant Allergies
Up to 20% of children and 1-2% of adults, it is assumed that these skin problems very unpleasant and often embarrassing to have.
No one knows exactly what he does when a problem with the immune system might be to blame ... especially in atopic dermatitis
Another formeczema, contact dermatitis are known to occur, as can be, when your skin comes into contact with something for the environment as soap, clothes, detergents, cosmetics or jewelry (including sweat), which caused a skin reaction .
Eczema has also been known to explode due to changes in temperature or humidity, or stress, even psychological.
When it comes to treatment, the doctor looks at the patient's age, overall health, and involved the type of eczema. Creams and ointments are often used toKeep the skin hydrated and avoid over-bathing and other lifestyle changes to stay away from triggers are important to keep this condition under control.
There are over-the-counter antihistamines that are used to control the itching. Sometimes a short course of oral corticosteroids is used to manage an acute outbreak.
Tacrolimus (Protopic) and pimecrolimus (Elidel): A couple of topical medications have been approved by the FDA in the United States. However, the FDA warning in 2005 aboutdrugs mentioned animal studies, have led some types of cancer. For this reason, the doctor will use this drug only as the therapeutic use of second line - after receiving no response from other forms of treatment. Although these drugs are given, you just take it for a short period.
Perhaps due to the need of relief is not reached by traditional treatments, prescribed to 30% of eczema patients with traditional Chinese medicine, although it remainsIf you work non-Western approach, and it is safe.
In an attempt to address these concerns, the researchers looked at Julia Wisniewski, MD, Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, 14 children who had persistent eczema and treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine, between August 2006 and May 2008.
All the children drank tea Erka Shizheng twice a day, in a herbal bath to soak for at least 20 minutes, and the application of a cream herbal skin several timesDay.
They also had acupuncture treatments. At the beginning of the study had more than half of children develop severe symptoms after 8 months of this regime, most had mild symptoms. Participants need less medication (corticosteroids, antihistamines and antibiotics) will be processed after only three months.
The herbal treatment is safe and did not cause liver or kidney.
When it comes to adults with atopic dermatitis, a team of Japanese researchers has found that adults can alsoEnjoy traditional Chinese medicine.
This research involved 274 men and women who are treated with eczema at an average of 12 years. Approximately one third have symptoms that were classified as serious or very serious, with patches of chronically dry, itching, inflammation of the skin for more than ten percent of the body.
After three minutes, four months of treatment with medicinal plants, which were selected and administered to the subject of symptoms, 87% were asymptomatic. Another 12% weregreatly improved. One patient in the study had minor abnormalities of liver function, which resolved after treatment based on herbs.
The third study sought to find a team of researchers at the University of Cincinnati, the risk factors for developing childhood asthma, eczema, 636 children of parents with allergies, do.
At 4 years, had children with parents who had twice the risk of eczema of the skin conditions of other children. BabysWho tested positive for egg allergy (a fairly well known to eczema) at age 1, were four times more likely to have eczema at the age of four years.
Those who tested positive for cat allergies (and had a cat) has been tested at the age of 1, 2 or 3, more than 13 times more likely to have eczema at age four other children. The pollen has also been shown to be a risk factor for atopic dermatitis - children who had tested positive for allergy elm tree at the age of 1, 2 or 3 is about three times more likelyEczema at the age of four years.
So, if your child has eczema and a cat (dogs seem to offer a protective effect), or you live in a wooded area, you might consider allergy testing.
In all areas, while other jobs are needed, these three studies provide encouraging results and suggest, if you suffer from eczema, or know someone, then you can give them answers for Chinese medicinal herbs, or TCM.
