Reducing Stress

Stress will certainly exacerbate the eczema condition.

Mentally I might not feel stressed from lack of sleep, but my skin will certainly tell me about it. I have just had a number of months without good sleep and I am suffering.

I have just had in the last 2 days, 2 nights of good sleep and my skin is feeling better.

Eating badly and drinking poorly are 2 other ways to stress the body without realising it. It is very easy to eat junk food and to drink less. I am now trying to drink at least 2-3 litres of water a day. I have found when my body is itchy at night, particularly the neck, the itching eases off when I drink a glass of water.

So now top of my "get well agenda is" eat healing foods, drink plenty and sleep well.
