If you ask anyone with eczema about this skin condition, mostly they will complain about dry, scaly skin, redness and itching. 

The word ekzema (eczema) is commonly used when referring to atopic dermatitis, which is the common type of skin condition although there are 6 other types.

Basically, ekzema atopik (atopic eczema) develops because the skin’s natural barrier function is affected.

This means that allergens and irritants are able to attack.

Certain foods such as nuts and dairy can trigger symptoms of eczema, as well as environmental triggers such as smoke, pollen, soaps and fragrances. 

Most eczema sufferers discover symptoms during childhood. 

As the National Eczema Association says, up to 20% of children and 3% of adults suffer from atopic eczema worldwide. 

While some outgrow the condition, others will continue to have it throughout adulthood.

However, there are ways for you to alleviate eczema symptoms such as: 

  1. Medications

Several things you can do to support skin health and remedy your symptoms such as:

  • Applying moisturizer every day and within 3 minutes of bathing 
  • Wearing cotton and soft fabrics
  • Using a mild soap or a non-soap cleanser
  • Taking lukewarm baths
  • Air drying or gently patting the skin dry with towel, avoid rubbing the skin dry after shower
  • Learning and avoiding your own eczema triggers
  1. Home remedies

Surveys conducted revealed that people can often manage their symptoms with home remedies.

Home remedies range from natural gels and oils, medicated baths and dietary changes. 

Of course, many people would say, “there are many oils, lotions, creams and gels on the market, how do we choose?”

Plant based, natural oils are effective in treating ekzema (eczema).

Naturally derived oils can significantly improve the condition and look of eczema. 

However, the key here is to find the right complex mix and fully avoid any synthetic ingredients such as parabens, sulfates, etc. 

Many resort to coconut oil, calendula oil, sunflower oil and sacha inchi oil.

 

What Is Sacha Inchi?

Plukenetia volubilis, or sacha inchi, is a perennial plant native to certain parts of South America and the Caribbean.

It is sometimes referred to as mountain peanut or Inca nut as it was traditionally consumed by indigenous groups in Peru. 

The oil extracted from the seeds can be used in cooking, skin care products and in this case, treatment for skin conditions such as eczema. 

Sacha Inchi oil is one of the best of the Argan oils family as the oil is 100% natural, no additives and one of the richest natural vegetable sources of omega fatty acids, essential for human life.

Sacha Inchi is exceptionally high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) that surpasses 83% essential fatty acids (EFA); Omega 3 (48%), Omega 6 (36%), Omega 9 (8%), proteins (33%) and antioxidants (50%).

The seeds are also a great source of fiber, rich in iodine and Vitamins A carotenoids and E, which gives it strong antioxidant properties thus excellent for anti-aging. 

A clinical study revealed that the oil was mild to the skin and had a beneficial effect on dry skin. 

The study also showed a statistically significant increase in skin hydration and improved visual dryness in the skin. 

Sacha Inchi oil could prove to be an alternative source of essential fatty acids for skin improvement and its moisturizing effect is comparable to that of olive oil. 

Now, knowing the benefits of Sacha Inchi oil, you must have wondered, where and how do you get yours?
