Itchy skin
Itchy skin is one of the most common symptoms of eczema. Reducing factors that contribute to itchy skin can help to soothe the skin and aid healing.1
Traditional Chinese medicine and dry skin
According to TCM, the skin is nourished by the blood. When there is a blood deficiency, TCM believes that dry skin can develop.
Dry skin is often present in skin conditions such as mild eczema because affected skin has a reduced ability to retain moisture.1
