Eczema support refers to strategies and interventions aimed at alleviating the symptoms of eczema, a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. Probiotics have gained attention in managing eczema due to their potential to balance gut microbiota, which may influence skin health and immune responses.
Research suggests that a healthy gut microbiome can positively impact skin conditions, including eczema. Probiotics may help reduce inflammation and improve skin barrier function, potentially leading to a decrease in the severity and frequency of eczema flare-ups.
Incorporating probiotic-rich foods, such as yogurt, kefir, and fermented vegetables, alongside a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, can provide additional support for individuals with eczema.
