Vitamin D and Eczema

"Scores of recent studies link getting enough vitamin D to eczema symptom improvement.  I recommend that my adult patients take 2,000 IU of vitamin D a day." Peter A. Lio, MD

Recent studies also suggest that acupressure and acupuncture can distract the nervous system from the itch of eczema.  Hypnotherapy has also been proven in studies to help people with the pain and itching of eczema.  Massage with natural oils is also helpful, and Dr. Lio recommends sunflower seed oil.  These are ways not only to relax, but to benefit the skin.
