Whenever you visit your skin doctors or dermatologists, often they prescribe you with steroids, cortisone, anti-histamine pills. During my many visits to various doctors, I always ask them “why do I have eczema and what causes it?”- Their answer is always and will always be heredity, allergies and sensitivities. However, they did not tell me what caused all these problems! Till date, the exact cause of eczema is not known in the modern and latest technology medical world.
Eczema isn’t a “skin problem” per se because it is merely a reflection and manifestation of your internal health.
Skin itself is the largest organ of the human body. Hence any problem internally would directly affect your skin and it is the most obvious to everyone. In short, eczema appears because there is something wrong with the immune system and digestive system.
I have came up with a pictorial chart that explains the problem with modern conventional medicine. I personally call it the “Smoke-Fire” analogy. These conventional skin specialists and doctors treat the symptoms of eczema and do not prevent its recurrence; they also tend to have side effects. Patients and doctors often tend to focus too much on the symptoms of eczema such as redness, rashes, dryness, itching and the oozing.

There is nothing wrong with treating the symptoms but the root cause is often overlooked. Treating the root cause should be the primary focus and symptoms, the secondary focus. There is really no point in suppressing the symptoms which will reoccur again and again without addressing the root cause, there is no ending to it. Ultimately, we are the ones who suffer and the doctors making the money from prescribing the same medicines again and again.
