Eczema natural plant-based treatment
Eczema can be triggered by biological aspects such as stress, or natural events like changes in weather, but it can also be triggered by allergies or irritants like clothing or cleaning products, which can make living with eczema unpredictable, and, uncomfortable. After trying multiple different products to manage their flare-ups with little success, many feel they’ve exhausted all their options when it comes to eczema treatments in the UK. However, few are aware that plant-based products are also available on prescription for eczema symptom relief- and, they are available at Releaf for suitable patients.

A word from our specialist
“Many conditions that lead to chronic pain often respond poorly to conventional pharmaceutical medications. More and more is being understood about how the endocannabinoid system interacts with the more well known pain pathways to work synergistically with these conventional medications. Chronic pain comes with a variety of associated symptoms such as poor sleep, fatigue, brain fog and reduced appetite – all of which treatment with medical cannabis can improve.“

Am I eligible?Can natural, plant-based treatments help manage eczema?
While further scientific investigation is required to fully explain the relationship between eczema and natural, plant based products, preclinical evidence suggests certain natural ingredients hold promise for skin concerns or conditions like eczema.
This is because certain plant-derived chemicals contain anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-itch properties. Others have shown to have sedative qualities that can make a big difference at night, by reducing bedtime itching and discomfort, which can make it easier for people with eczema to fall asleep and get a good night's rest.
Because of this, if traditional eczema treatments or conventional medicines are not meeting your needs, or are causing unpleasant or unwanted side effects, you can assess your eligibility for alternative, plant-based eczema treatments at Releaf.
