Artichoke, Milk Thistle and Burdock

When the skin calls it is because the liver needs it ! Need what? Sometimes to be “lightened”, drained, purified, other times to be strengthened and protected.

The liver friendly herbs are artichoke , milk thistle , burdock , dandelion . In case of allergic dermatitis we can help our liver detoxify itself from the elements that may have caused a reaction of this nature.

Your skin will certainly benefit from it. To use the principles of these herbs in synergy we can use hydroalcoholic extracts : milk thistle, artichoke and burdock together are the right allies for a period of detoxification. We can take them 3 times a day in a glass of water: 30 drops, 10 per remedy to help the body fight eczema even from within.

Ribes Nigrum

The bud extract of black currant is a valid help to be taken in case the eczema may be of an allergic nature. This remedy acts as a cortisone -like , carrying out an anti-inflammatory action and as an antihistamine , rebalancing the immune response of our body in the presence of allergens.

It is advisable to continue taking it even if in remission from the topical reaction, to prolong and complete the dermatological response .
