Eczema relief provided by effective natural Manuka oil and honey extract treatment

Scientific studies show New Zealand East Cape Manuka oil and UMF® Honey to be strongly antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory, providing effective natural relief from the symptoms of Eczema.

Eczema is a general term covering various inflamed skin conditions including one of the most common forms of Eczema, Atopic Dermatitis or Atopic Eczema.

A significant percentage of the world's population is affected by this chronic, relapsing, and very itchy rash at some point during childhood. Fortunately, many children with eczema find that the disease clears and often disappears with age. 

In general, Atopic Dermatitis will come and go, often based on external factors. Although its cause is unknown, the condition appears to be an abnormal response of the body's immune system.

In people with Eczema, the inflammatory response to irritating substances is overactive, causing itching and scratching. The affected areas are then exposed to bacterial infection which makes the condition worse.

The itch that rashes

Eczema is most often characterized by dry, red, extremely itchy patches on the skin and is sometimes referred to as "the itch that rashes" since the itch, when scratched, results in the appearance of the rash.

Eczema is not contagious and, like many diseases, currently cannot be cured. However, for most patients the condition may be managed well with suitable treatment.

Medication for Eczema can take many forms, mainly topical (in that they are applied to the surface of the skin) which involve the use of corticosteroids, moisturizers, coal tar etc.

In severe cases systemic antibiotic medication either injected below the skin or taken orally can be used to control infection of the rash area.

Possible side effects from overuse of prescription drugs

As is the case with many prescription drugs, overuse can lead to side effects including thinning skin, stretch marks, dilated blood vessels, and loss of effectiveness, which can occur when high potency corticosteroids are used over long periods of time.

Drugs called calcineurin inhibitors are steroid free and are designed to reduce inflammation of Atopic Eczema or Dermatitis, and while they do not produce the side effects of corticosteroids, they can cause a stinging or burning sensation in the area of application.

Yet other immunosuppressant drugs require monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function before and during use, and their use has been attributed to increased risk of developing cancers, headaches, burning or tingling sensations in the arms or legs, general fatigue, abdominal upsets and musculoskeletal or joint pain.

With all the potential shortcomings of prescription drugs many people are asking the question, "Is there a safe natural product that can help my condition without the possible side effects?"

Safe and natural alternative

Two of the most successful (but not well known) natural products which can assist with a wide range of skin conditions are the Essential Oil and Honey from the New Zealand Manuka plant (Leptospermum scoparium)

Another page of this web-site titled Manuka Honey in Medicine provides an introduction to the research undertaken by Dr Peter Molan MBE, Associate Professor in Biochemistry at the University of Waikato, New Zealand, which describes the effectiveness of Manuka honey with a high "Unique Manuka Factor" in controlling bacteria including antibiotic resistant forms of Staphylococcus Aureus.

Dr. Molan's research into the effectiveness of Manuka UMF® honey for medical purposes has been so compelling that this special honey is now being included in a range of topical skin care formulations. It should be noted that inclusion of Manuka UMF® honey in commercial skincare preparations does not imply endorsement by Dr. Molan.

The inclusion of Manuka UMF® honey in Eczema relief products offers a number of benefits:

Manuka UMF honey is highly effective in controlling bacteria which are often a major factor in eczema conditions.

Manuka honey helps to lubricate and soften the affected area.

Manuka honey is hydroscopic in that it attracts moisture, keeping the affected area moist and supple.

Manuka honey is rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, enzymes and amino acids all of which are essential for healthy skin.

Manuka honey and oil creams provide a two pronged attack on Eczema

Manuka Essential Oil produced exclusively from the East Cape region of New Zealand is also proven in scientific studies to be strongly antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory. When combined in a cream formulation with Manuka honey, it offers a two pronged attack against the effects of Eczema.

The anti-inflammatory quality of Manuka oil is particularly useful in ‘calming' areas of skin affected by Eczema.

We are now able to provide totally natural Manuka honey and Manuka oil based creams that do not contain any synthetic chemicals, colors or perfumes.

The following Manuka products offer a natural alternative to prescription drugs, and in many cases, may provide superior results;

How to use the Eczema Treatment Pack

For most people who suffer from the effects of Eczema, a combination of Strong Manuka Oil, Manuka Healing Cream and Manuka soap will provide a very effective natural solution to their Eczema problems.

Important health benefits from using natural remedies

Manuka oil is a natural compound found in nature that is not chemically altered in any way.

No adverse side effects have ever been reported from the use of Manuka honey or oil products.

Manuka oil will safely and effectively control almost all gram positive bacteria and fungi that may be present in areas of skin affected by Eczema.

Manuka UMF® Honey is not chemically altered in any way, it is highly anti-fungal and anti-bacterial in its natural form, and is known to penetrate deeply into the epidermis, greatly assisting the control of fungal and bacterial infection.

It is important to remember that everything that you apply to your skin is absorbed into your body, so by using natural products you can enjoy a healthier and happier life by eliminating the use of products that could have harmful side effects.

If you haven't already experienced the benefits of using natural products, now is a good time to start. Manuka plant extracts are the effective, natural and safe way to relieve and treat Eczema.
