Omega-3 for Eczema

by Health Sciences Institute (HSI), 06/24/08

If you've ever used an atopic eczema treatment, it's most likely been in the form of an ointment or a cream, applied directly to the affected areas.

A new study from Germany shows how treatment that begins on the inside might be a better starting point.

Alpha, meet omega
I can tell you from firsthand experience, the effects of eczema's rashes and itching range from annoying to miserable. But my eczema is stress related. The more common type is atopic eczema, which comes and goes in cycles, and usually occurs among patients who tend to have allergies.

In the April 2008 issue of the British Journal of Dermatology, researchers from the Philipps University Marburg in Germany note that the increasing occurrence of atopic eczema has been linked to the reduced intake of omega-3 fatty acids in the Western diet. They tested that link with an eight-week intervention study.
