Conclusion
You’ve come to the end of this Eczema Answers Online course and I hope you now feel more informed and better prepared to deal with your own eczema or, if you are a parent or caregiver, the eczema of your child or person in your care.
Eczema, as we noted early on in the course, can be a challenging condition to manage. It can present differently depending on the age of the individual, their genetic history, the environment they live in, and the type of lifestyle they have. It can be mild or severe, or both at different times. And triggers may vary and be overwhelming at times.
However, even with all these variables at play, it is vital that you focus on your own condition to determine what is likely to be causing the flare-ups and how to minimise the chance of your eczema affecting your life adversely.
With that in mind, this course gave you a number of starting points to both explore and better manage your eczema. Now that you have moved through the 11 modules, you will have a much deeper understanding of what eczema is, what is happening in the skin when it occurs, the many reasons that it might occur, and what to do if that happens.
It's important we all learn not to box ourselves into other people's definitions of healthy living. We all have completely unique bodies with completely unique needs. The only way to create your individualized image of wellness is to commit to discovering your ideal version of personal health. We must evolve and take responsibility for our own health, it’s not the responsibility of our doctors or our government or the chefs at our favorite cafe. The same is true for skin health.
Now,a I still wash my face every day, but now aI'm using dōTERRA Essential Skin Care, Fractionated Coconut Oil, and pure Frankincense Essential oil. I'm also into cleansing my body with dōTERRA non allergic pure soaps with infused therapeutic essential oils, and I love coconut oil for body lotion. Using these products has made a huge difference. I no longer have oily and flaky skin.
I've settled into a happy eating routine, too. Sugar, dairy and grains seem to trigger eczema flareups for me. It took me a while to stop missing ice cream, but It’s been 5 years now and there is always a great non dairy + non sugar substitute. I’ve found enough alternatives I like. I’ve become more experimental with my cocking too. I also notice that I have great skin when I'm cooking more. There’s nothing like clean homecoming for healthy skin.
Other people put on weight as soon as they sniff a muffin. For me, bad eating would always trigger an eczema flareup, and a downward spiral of "Why me?" but I have come to be grateful for my skin, because I really feel my journey to wellness has raised my awareness on all aspects of my life. I believe I am a better person because of my eczema journey. I am altogether healthier now and more in tune with my body because of the distress signals my skin was sending me.
Most of us find wellness and skin health confusing and stressful because we're always trying to fit into someone else's ideal. That's why I wrote this course, because I want you to use all of this information to get to know yourself really well, and then I want you to join me in Cleanse Camp so you can put all this information to work for you, so you can stop stressing about it once and for all.
So, whether you prefer conventional, natural, or more alternative medical practices, it is my hope that your now move from this course into the Cleanse Camp 30 day detox and reset. The Cleanse Camp course will provide you with enough information to make confident choices in managing your future health while establishing some long lasting effective healthy habits.
My last and final request is for you to please remember how empowering it is to take care of yourself. Remember, when you feel good, your whole life gets better. You make better choices. And when you make choices that are good for you, they are also good for everyone around you and your community.
Create some lasting Healthy Habits
Now is the perfect time to establish new habits that will help to have your eczema under control and free from flare-ups. I’m not talking about resolutions you’ll forget about in a week. I’m talking about real, achievable habits that will help you to feel your best.
If you’re ready to live life on your terms, my 30- Day Cleanse Camp is just what you need to finally create the daily routines to lead to eczema free skin. I’ll guide you through simple actions you can make a part of your day. And before you know it, those simple actions will have become rock-solid habits, long after the Cleanse Camp is complete.
Whatever healthy skin looks like for you, I’m here to support you as you work toward your goals. Let’s get started!
Why should I participate in the 30-Day Cleanse Camp?
If you want to take charge of your skin health, life, and happiness, it requires some change. The best way to make lasting change is through micro habits, as they eventually lead to macro changes. Often, we feel overwhelmed if we try changing too much too quickly. But if we start small, it’s amazing how we can train our brains and bodies to do something new, little by little.
If you’ve been wanting to make real changes in your skin health, know that small habits make big, lasting change. So start small. Before you know it, eczema free skin you used to dream about will come so naturally you will be amazed with the results you gain!
