Understanding Eczema (And Why It’s More Than “Just Dry Skin”)
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a complex inflammatory skin condition involving barrier disruption, immune overactivity,
and heightened skin sensitivity — which can lead to cycles of itch, flare, and irritation.
Common Eczema Symptoms
- Persistent itch (often worse at night)
- Dry, rough, tight or flaky skin
- Red, inflamed patches that flare and settle
- Cracked, painful skin (especially hands)
- Weeping or oozing during severe flares
- Thickened skin from chronic scratching
- Sensitivity to soaps, heat, sweat, fabrics, or products
- Reduced sleep, mood, and confidence due to flares
Why “Just Moisturise” Often Isn’t Enough
Moisturising is essential — but eczema is usually driven by deeper factors: barrier weakness, inflammatory signalling,
immune sensitivity, histamine patterns, and individual triggers (environmental, dietary, stress-related, and more).
Lasting improvement often requires a whole-body eczema support plan that strengthens the skin barrier,
reduces inflammatory drivers, and helps you identify and avoid your most consistent triggers — alongside appropriate medical care when needed.
Why Eczema Keeps Flaring
Eczema persists when multiple internal and external factors keep the skin barrier irritated and the immune system “on alert” —
even when you’re doing all the right topical things.
🧱 Skin Barrier Disruption
When the barrier is compromised, moisture escapes and irritants enter more easily — increasing sensitivity and flare risk.
🔥 Immune & Inflammatory Signalling
Eczema involves immune activation and inflammation that can amplify redness, itch, and the “flare cycle.”
🌿 Environmental & Product Triggers
Detergents, fragrances, heat, sweat, fabrics, and occupational exposure often keep skin in a reactive state.
🦠 Microbiome Imbalance
Skin microbiome shifts (and flare-associated bacterial overgrowth) can worsen irritation and slow healing.
🍽️ Individual Trigger Patterns
For some people, food reactions, histamine patterns, or gut irritation may correlate with flares — especially in stubborn cases.
🧠 Stress–Skin Connection
Stress can intensify itch, disrupt sleep, and increase inflammation — making eczema harder to calm even with good skincare.

Whole-Body Eczema Support vs. Symptom-Only Approach
Understanding your options for calming flares and building long-term skin resilience.
Naturopathic Approach
Topical-Only Approach
Addresses drivers (barrier, inflammation, triggers, lifestyle, nutrition)
Primarily manages surface symptoms during flares
Yes — supports calmer, less reactive skin over time
Not necessarily — flares may return when triggers persist
Generally gentle, tailored and reviewed regularly
Can be limited if over-relied upon without broader support
Aims for fewer flares and better baseline skin stability
Can help in the short term, but doesn’t always reduce recurrence
Supports sleep, stress load, immune balance, and inflammation
Primarily skin-focused relief during active flares
Chronic eczema, recurring flares, sensitive/reactive skin, long-term maintenance
Acute flare control (often needed) under GP/dermatologist guidance
Can they work together? Absolutely. Many clients use GP/dermatologist-prescribed treatments for flare control while building long-term resilience with supportive nutrition, barrier strategy, and trigger work.
Natural Evidence-Based Approaches for Eczema Support
Your plan draws from research-informed natural strategies, personalised to your eczema pattern, severity, age, and medical history.
🧱 Barrier Repair Strategy
Skin barrier support through product simplification, moisturising routines, and practical irritant reduction tailored to your triggers.
💊 Targeted Nutrients
Key nutrients that may support skin integrity and immune balance (e.g., omega-3s, zinc, vitamin D where appropriate).
🌿 Herbal & Anti-Itch Support
Herbal options selected carefully for inflammation, itch patterns, and sensitivity — personalised and reviewed for suitability.
🦠 Microbiome Support
Strategies to support gut and skin microbiome balance, especially where digestion and immune sensitivity overlap with flares.
🥗 Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition
Practical nutrition that reduces inflammatory load and supports stable blood sugar — without unnecessary long-term restriction.
😴 Sleep + Stress Regulation
Because itch worsens with stress and sleep loss, we include nervous system strategies to reduce flare amplification and scratching cycles.

Eczema FAQs
Common questions about naturopathic eczema support and online consultations.
Can a naturopath really help with eczema?
Yes — for many people, naturopathic care can be a valuable complement. Eczema commonly involves barrier disruption and inflammatory drivers,
plus individual triggers (products, environment, stress, and sometimes diet or gut patterns). A naturopath can help you build a structured plan
to support calmer skin and fewer flares, alongside appropriate medical care.
How is this different from seeing a dermatologist?
Dermatologists are essential for diagnosis, flare control, and prescription management. Naturopathic support focuses on whole-body drivers,
trigger patterns, barrier strategy, nutrition, and lifestyle factors that influence recurrence and baseline skin reactivity. Many clients do best
with both working together.
How long does it take to see improvement?
Many people notice early changes within 4–8 weeks (less itch, fewer flares, better baseline comfort), but meaningful long-term stability often takes
several months — especially if eczema has been persistent for years. We aim for steady, sustainable progress rather than quick fixes.
Do I need to eliminate lots of foods?
Not automatically. Over-restriction can backfire. If food appears linked to flares, we use a careful, evidence-informed approach to identify patterns
without turning your diet into a stressor. Any elimination is strategic, time-limited, and based on your specific history.
Is online eczema support effective?
Yes. Eczema support relies heavily on detailed history, flare tracking, triggers, product review, lifestyle patterns, and (optional) lab testing —
all of which can be done effectively via video consult. Online care also reduces the stress and time burden of travel.
Will I need supplements forever?
No. Supplements (if used) are typically a short-to-medium-term bridge while you strengthen the barrier, reduce inflammatory load, and stabilise triggers.
As you improve, we aim to simplify and reduce your protocol.
Do you recommend lab testing for eczema?
Sometimes. When clinically useful, we may suggest tests such as vitamin D, iron studies, inflammation markers, or targeted allergy-related investigations.
Testing is always optional and only recommended if it’s likely to meaningfully change your plan.
Can I do this if I’m using prescription creams or medication?
Yes. Many clients use prescribed treatments for flare control. We work alongside your GP or dermatologist and never recommend changing medication without
medical supervision. The goal is supportive care and long-term resilience — not replacing medical treatment.
