Does neem help in curing eczema forever in life?

I have got eczema. I had it from the past seven months. If I eat fresh or dried neem leaves daily with empty stomach, does it help me in curing eczema forever? Nothing else has helped.

Neem and eczema
by: Birgit

The root cause for eczema lies in our genes, and that means there is no cure for it.

Neem based products have been shown to be very effective in treating eczema (as in, relieving the symptoms), but they don't cure eczema.

The term eczema, or common eczema, refers to a lifelong tendency to allergies, similar to other skin disorders, or asthma or hay fever. There is no cure for hay fever, and there is no cure for eczema.

(As a side note, are you sure that what you suffer from is common eczema? It could be another skin disorder that causes similar symptoms.)

The only thing eczema sufferers can do is prevent outbreaks and control the symptoms.

To prevent outbreaks it is important to identify which allergens cause a reaction and to prevent the skin from drying out. (See the page on neem for eczema for more info.)

External use of neem based moisturizers helps to prevent dryness of the skin.

External use of neem leaf on the skin helps to soothe the inflammation and redness and combats secondary infections.

Regarding the internal use of neem for eczema, I have no experience with treating eczema by taking neem leaves, and so far I haven't come across any references or reports about it.

Seeing your email address I assume you are located in India. I would suggest you consult a good Ayurvedic practitioner, someone who can assess your overall health and body type, your diet and lifestyle, and then recommend the best supplements, or dietary or lifestyle changes for you.

Unfortunately eczema is not a condition where a simple remedy will work for all.

Hi Friend,

We have used Pure Neem Soap for all type of skin problems and it has helped on Eczema a lot. So if you try Pure Neem Soap, where there is no side effect, it may help you.

At present we have few Pure Neem Soap samples without box, (which I can give you free. If you like to try I can send it to you as I am also from Ahmedabad, India.

Very soon we are coming in the market with new packing for Pure Neem Soap - which is made with 70% of Neem Oil, Aloe Vera and other herbals.

You can reply me on rjjavia@yahoo.com

Best wishes & regards.

Neem amd Eczema cure
by: Anonymous

House remedies and the mythical magic of using neem may work for some people but not general population.

I am sixty five years old and I suddenly developed persistent eczema out of the blue.

It certainly is an allergic reaction and the immune system is not preventing the flare up. Just external applications will not help but one should treat the liver, kidneys and anything else connected with the immune system to treat chronic eczema.

For mental satisfaction than real cure one can use all these products that are popping up on the net announced by these peddlers who have no realistic data of any real life situations.

I have been hit with severe eczema for over two years and have spent a lot of money on crèames and medicines to no avail. I have even gone with weeding out anything that is causing allergies in my system with not much luck yet.

Who said it's a cure-all? Back to Basics...

Neem helps to treat and help heal skin externally, as will bentonite clay. Yet both work in different ways. But this is only a topical treatment. I would like to specifically address the person who developed eczema at around 60. I am 57 and started having eczema bouts about 2 years ago. In all my research I have learned that eczema usually begins in childhood. So what happened with us?

I never even had acne or pimples during adolescence. Here's what I found: Eczema occurs when the immune system goes bonkers for one reason or another. Now what would trigger the immune system to go into high gear? Something's wrong inside of us. I read on one site, where hundreds of people posted about their eczema problems and what they had done, and what worked and what didn't, that it all goes back to what we shove into our mouths.

Now I grew up in Europe in the post war years, and my mom prepared all meals from scratch. As we grew older, became more 'sophisticated' and 'progressively civilized', the butcher shop around the corner and the mom and pop corner store disappeared. We stopped cultivating our own gardens for fruits and veggies, as we began buying our meals in cans, bottles, packages etc, we began wreaking havoc on our bodies. Processing of foods depletes them of vital nutrients, vitamins, minerals, etc, that our bodies need to function 'normally'.

If the body doesn't get what it needs, it retaliates via the immune system. Our new-found civilized diets have managed to cause a major imbalance in our digestive tract; the gut, where it all begins (after we shove it into our mouths), because this is the way our body gets, or should get, what it needs. Now there's this ph balance in the gut. This balance is alkalinity and acidity. When the balance is right, the gut is slightly more alkaline and slightly less acidic (47-53% or there about). When this gets out of balance, well, being where the whole process begins, it stands to reason that a whole bunch of other stuff gets out of whack from there on, and the immune system reacts with pain, bloating, cramps, headaches and on and on, to include eczema, and more serious stuff like heart diseases like diabetes, and high blood pressure etc.

It makes sense, when you learn how it all works together. So I kept reading about how people had great success taking organic apple cider vinegar (with the mother) on a daily basis (amazing stuff). I tried it, and it helped. So I attempted to go back to the basics. It's not always easy, but I took control of my body and began using mother nature's remedies. Neem is one of those.

I've been using neem oil for 3 years as a natural flea treatment. I make my dogs' shampoo with it, a spray, and now I'm adding it to Aloevera gel and olive oil to treat my first eczema outbreak in over a year. Yup, I'm guilty. Too many sweets, too many eggs, too much coffee, not enough fresh fruits and veggies. And I did just order 4 gallons of the vinegar (I use it for many other things too).

"The root cause for eczema lies in our genes, and that means there is no cure for it."

The above is a blatant misstatement, especially considering that the majority of information I have found clearly shows that they are still pretty much in the dark about this condition. Studies have also revealed that the recent dramatic rise in eczema cases cannot be inertly attributed to genes, because it is highly unlikely that genetic factors would change in such a short time.

It is a combination of factors contributing to this condition as well as other allergies and health conditions. At best you can say that some genetic factors may contribute to a person developing a 'sensitivity' to developing skin conditions, but the triggers is what brings it out. And a lot of this is all the poisons and chemicals in all the stuff we use every day, as well as our DIET!

"There is no cure for hay fever, and there is no cure for eczema."

In my humble opinion, this is a load of crock. Is poor eyesight a disease? I would say it is more of a condition, which people try to correct by wearing classes/contacts etc. In most mainstream reading this is exactly what is recommended to keep eczema outbreaks at bay: limit or avoid outside triggers. Rarely have I seen references made to nutrition. This is a VERY interesting article, plainly written for anyone to completely comprehend, how so VERY IMPORTANT a healthy gut is, And it starts at birth.

Neem helps Eczema
by: Natasha

Hi,

I have dealt with eczema on and off since I turned 21. The new kind that surfaced here in Houston is where a small blister looking red bubble appears on the sole of my foot. Houston's weather is hot and humid - ideal conditions to get eczema.

Since I had it before and the bubble got some buddy bubbles all under the skin)it was itchy and very red. I was visiting Pakistan and on the day that I was to come back my mother boiled bunch of Neem leaves for me and made me soak my feet in the lukewarm water for at least half hour. I came back to Houston and discovered that the blisters had started to dry out and completely vanished.

After 14 years I have it again and the buddy bubbles are a size of a golf ball. Its on the inside curve of my foot so it is difficult to save the foot from rubbing against any type of shoe. I had to wear socks in the sweltering heat to save them (which in turn made the environment more hot and humid for them). I visited an Indian young doctor and he gave me an atopical ointment but told me to stop using Neem oil (which I found at a Pakistani store).

Thankfully today I was picking my kid from a friend's house and they had the Neem tree (as their kid also has Eczema) so I am very lucky to have found fresh Neem leaves in the USA.

I intend to eat some leaves and use the rest to soak my foot in some of the boiled ones. I totally believe in them. Even if they don't cure forever they at least help for the current problem.

Store Bought Soaps Trigger Eczema
by: Anonymous

Hello,

My daughter is seven years old and has been battling eczema for the past 4. We have used all types of recommended soaps and creams but nothing worked. I then decided to go own my own and investigate. I do believe that coconut, olive or grapeseed oil mixed with freshly ground oatmeal( from coffee grinder) seems to help the most, as a bubble bath if you may. Additionally we use a neem soap with coconut oil and seaweed. It seems to be working thus far. Can not say if it cured. Although itch is gone, and she even commented on the softness of her skin within 3 days of use. Good luck !

In US: go to neem tree farms(ONLINE) for live plant ordering or products.

Thanks.
