Can Chinese herbs alleviate Eczema?

Eczema is an allergic condition that affects the skin which includes symptoms like recurring skin rashes, itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, cracking or bleeding. It is a form of dermatitis, or inflammation of the epidermis.

Two new researches have been made that traditional Chinese herbal medicine might mitigate eczema in children and adults. Other study says that toddlers who have egg, elm or cat allergies are at increased high level of risk of developing eczema by age 4 years and children whose parents have eczema are also at risk.

Chinese Herbal Medicine, safe and effective for children with Eczema

Julia Wisiniewski, MD, a researcher of Mount Sinai Hospital in New York suggests the alternative skin condition treatments as many patients continue to suffer from severe allergies from decades even after using steroids and antibiotics.

Studies reveal that 14 children were treated with the conventional Chinese medicine known as Erka Shizheng Herbal Tea at Ming Qi Natural Health Center in Manhattan between Aug?2006 ? May? 2008. All the children had Herbal Tea twice a day; spend 20 minutes daily for herbal bath along with the application of herbal cream to the skin 2-3 times a day. They had undergone acupuncture therapy and most of them had very mild symptoms after eight months of treatment.

Wisniewski says ?Chinese herbal treatments proved safe and secure without any abnormalities in liver and kidney function, which is an alternative therapy for children?.

Chinese Herbal Medicine Also Helps Adults With Eczema

Japanese researchers have studied 274 men and women who had suffered from eczema for an average of 12 years and found nearly one-third of them had severe allergic conditions.

Yoshiteru Shimoide, MD, head of the Yoshiteru Shimoide Clinic of Internal Medicine in Kagoshima City says ?Chinese herbal remedies were chosen for excellence and implemented according to the sufferer?s symptoms ? an approach known as Sho in oriental medicine?. After 3-4 months of therapy, 87% of the patients were symptom-free and 12% of them marked improvement.

As the mild abnormalities in liver function were seen in one patient, severity of pain is reduced by stopping the herbal treatment. So experts say more feasible study is required regarding conventional chinese herbal remedies.
