NATURAL SEBORRHEIC ECZEMA TREATMENT ON SCALP
Eczema can have several forms. When the skin condition affects the scalp, we speak of seborrheic eczema. As with psoriasis, it can sometimes be responsible for hair loss.
Eczema affects both the immune system and the skin cells which act as a barrier for allergens.
Eczema is linked to a genetic disorder, but environmental factors such as the presence of chemical irritants or stress influence its appearance.
However, chemical substances are generally much more allergenic than natural active ingredients, hence the interest once again in using a natural treatment. Note that most dermatologists and doctors prescribe topical treatments using corticosteroid therapy to their patients, as for psoriasis.
Atopic and nervous eczema
Eczema is localized both on the body and on the face.
This type of eczema can be triggered by stress, the environment, or even asthma. Atopic eczema is characterized by skin irritations, patches, itching, redness, and/or dryness of the epidermis. Nervous tension promotes eczema flare-ups.
Contact eczema
Contact eczema is not hereditary and is an allergic reaction following prolonged or occasional contact with a given substance (nickel, alcohol, clothing, soaps, etc.). The symptoms of contact eczema are identical to atopic eczema.
In both cases the shapes are the same and can appear in several places on the body or face…
TWO FORMS OF ECZEMA: DRY ECZEMA OR PURULENT ECZEMA
Whether dry or purulent, eczema on the body or face is characterized by red patches. However, these plates take various forms.
Dry eczema
In the case of dry eczema and an eczema flare-up, the red patches correspond to dryness of the skin. Its dehydration leads to the appearance of whitish scales on the surface of the skin. For an accurate diagnosis, it is best to consult a dermatologist or your general practitioner.
Purulent or “vesicular” eczema
We also talk aboutoozing eczema. The plaques become covered with small blisters, called vesicles. This form of eczema is uncommon. When these vesicles rupture, they release a transparent liquid. Since, after oozing, the plaques become covered with crusts that look like scales, it is not always detected. However, it is very rare for this type of eczema to be localized on the face.
Tips for allergy-related atopic eczema
Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, generally causes significant itching, especially during an outbreak, as well as skin lesions. Since this type of eczema is often linked to an environmental or food allergy, it is advisable to:
– Remove allergenic foods from your diet. The best known are wheat, egg white, chocolate, nuts, fish, cow's milk.
– Make sure to ventilate your home for at least an hour a day and shake out your sheets daily.
Which plants to treat and relieve eczema?
Chemical products attack the skin and make it even more vulnerable. This is especially true for sensitive skin like that of babies and young children.
It is therefore interesting to look for more natural alternatives to chemical medicinal treatments. However, there is no miracle cure for eczema, for its treatment. A natural eczema treatment, like a medicinal treatment, will only eliminate the symptoms of the disease.

It was through a chance encounter that Sylvie Méliet, the founder of the LM Natura laboratories, suffering from psoriasis for over 30 years, discovered an ancestral treatment in a remote village in Guinea. In one month, all of his psoriasis disappeared. Curious to know the manufacturing secret, she discovered Carapa procera oil.
The Carapa Procera tree grows in the wild, at a rate of a few trees per hectare, in West Africa. In Guinea, the very particular biotope of the region gives its oil very particular virtues.
- The concentration of 7 different limonoids provides unparalleled anti-oxidant action. It helps fight skin inflammation and itching.
- Triterpene vitamin A helps revitalize damaged skin and promote healing.
- Unsaturated essential fatty acids and Omega 6 help to strengthen the skin's defenses and nourish the skin.
The aloe vera
Aloe Vera gel has moisturizing and emollient properties. Certain constituents also have anti-inflammatory and anti-skin irritation properties. Fresh aloe vera is the most effective. The only downside: its pulp is smelly and can stain.
the daisy
The daisy has many benefits against eczema. It notably has antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-hyperlipidemic and anti-depressant properties. Let us also mention its healing and depurative power: it helps to evacuate toxins and other waste from our body. Finally, the daisy is expectorant, in other words it helps clear the respiratory tract.
