This is your sign to purchase a juicer. Yup, it’ll be one of your best investments yet. Not only is it convenient and provides healthier alternatives but if you have eczema, it just may be your new favorite piece of kitchen equipment. There is a clear link between eczema, your diet and what you consume daily. Adding juicing to your everyday life could be a complete game changer for you. 

Eczema is a type of dermatitis. It is a chronic inflammatory skin condition. Eczema is actually a quite common condition, and it isn’t contagious.

You should know that eczema can affect any individual at any age. So it’s important to know the signs and symptoms that come with the skin condition. Symptoms of eczema can flare up if an individual comes in contact with a particular irritant or an allergen.

Some irritants and allergens include:

  • Environmental factors like dry weather (low humidity)
  • Smoke and pollutants
  • Soaps and detergents
  • Certain clothing materials/fabrics
  • Makeup and /or skin care products
  • Stress/decline in your emotional wellbeing 

Both allergens and irritants can cause contact dermatitis, otherwise known as eczema.

  • Inflamed skin
  • Sensitive skin
  • Scaly rashes
  • Itchy skin
  • Dry skin
  • Bumps/blisters

The most common places you’ll notice symptoms on the body:

  • Elbows
  • Neck
  • Hands

  • Feet

  • Face

There are treatments, like moisturizers, topical medications, oral medications and therapies available to help you manage symptoms of eczema, but there isn’t a cure for eczema. 

This is where juicing comes in. What you consume makes a difference throughout your body, health and wellness. As I’ve mentioned before, there is a clear link between eczema and your diet (what you eat and drink). Juicing has many health benefits, including reducing and helping to manage eczema flare-ups. 

Some other benefits of juicing:

  • Our body quickly absorbs nutrients when we drink
  • Helps our body to detox harmful substances / encourages body detoxification
  • Boosts our energy
  • Helps weight loss
  • Natural alternative to surgery, unhealthy drinks

To get the best out of juicing for reducing eczema flare-ups, you want to use fresh fruit and vegetables that contain anti-inflammatory agents, are filled with antioxidants, and are packed with vitamins, like kale, carrots, celery, spinach, apples and berries.

So, here are three of the best juicing recipes for eczema that you should try:
