Let’s uncover the TOP 3 FOODS that fuel eczema flare-ups and internal inflammation 👇
1️⃣ Seed Oils (Canola, Soybean, Corn, Sunflower, etc.)
From a TCM perspective, these refined oils create “damp-heat” and “phlegm” in the body — both major contributors to itchy, inflamed skin. Choose natural oils like cold-pressed olive, avocado, or coconut oil, which nourish without stagnation.
2️⃣ Processed Sugar
Sugar weakens the Spleen system in Chinese medicine, which is responsible for transforming food into energy and fluids. When it’s overworked, “dampness” accumulates — showing up as oozing eczema, bloating, or fatigue. Swap with small amounts of raw honey or dates if needed.
3️⃣ Toxin-Filled Fruits 🍓🥭🍍
(Strawberry, Mango, Pineapple)
Here’s the truth — even without pesticides, these fruits are naturally “toxic-hot” in TCM. They overstimulate the Liver and Stomach meridians, leading to heat under the skin — redness, itchiness, and flare-ups. People prone to eczema often react to these tropical fruits because their body already carries internal heat and dampness. Choose cooling fruits like pear, apple, or mulberry to help clear heat and nourish Yin instead.
✨ In short: What you eat directly shapes how your skin heals. When your inner terrain is cool, clean, and balanced — your skin reflects it.
