Believe it or not, eczema is a psychosomatic syndrome – a mental / emotional problem manifesting in the skin. True there are lots and lots of so-called-cures but only introspection and deep relaxation will really help. Together with whatever medication you’re taking (preferably Ayurvedic) try lots of the following:
Asanas – Sirshasana, Sarvangasana
Pranayamas – Kapalabhati, Anuloma-Viloma, Brahmari
Cleansing Kriyas – Vaman dhauti, Shanka Prakshalana
Yoga diet (as much as possible and avoid non-veg fare)
