What is eczema?
Eczema is an inflammatory skin condition, which affects up 1 in 10 people during their lifetime.
While many experience eczema symptoms from infancy, it is possible to develop eczema at any point during your life, especially after an illness or stressful period of your life.
It is one of the three allergic conditions of ‘The Atopic Triad’, and often occurs alongside symptoms of hay fever and asthma.
While there are several types of eczema and dermatitis, the most common is type atopic eczema, which is primarily driven by reactions to foods and environmental substances.
Symptoms of Atopic Eczema
– Dry, cracking and weeping skin
– A recurring red rash (usually on the face, inner elbows, behind the knees and/or hands)
– Thick skin/rough skin
– Itchy skin
– Sensitive skin (sensitive to the touch or being irritated easily by clothing)
– Irritated skin (skin irritation in general)
– Inflamed skin
– Scaly skin
– Broken Skin
What causes eczema?
Eczema is a multi-factorial condition, which is characterised by flare ups in symptoms in response to individual triggers. Those who struggle with eczema, and other allergic conditions, often have above average levels of IgE, which can make you more susceptible to developing reactions. This is known as “atopy”.
Common food triggers include:
– sugars
– gluten & wheat
– dairy
– amines (found in many aged foods, like cheese)
– yeast
– salicylates (a natural chemical in many fruits & vegetables)
– histamine
Common airborne triggers include:
– dust & dust mites
– mould
– animal dander
– pollen (especially during spring time)
– grass
Common chemical triggers include:
– personal care products
– laundry detergents
– cleaning products
– chlorine
Underlying drivers of eczema
The prevalence of allergic conditions have increased dramatically in recent years, due to the impacts our modern lifestyles have on our bodies and our immune system.
To learn more about the different factors driving the prevalence of allergic conditions like atopic eczema, check our some of our recent blog posts and podcast episodes with PAT Expert Naturopath Jenny.

Natural Eczema Treatment
We see lots of children and adults struggling with eczema symptoms in our clinics, who are frustrated by the lack of medical treatment options.
Many reach out to us as they are sick of going through endless tubes of various creams and following elimination diets which simply aren’t sustainable long-term.
With Positive Association Technique (PAT) we’re able to offer a natural eczema treatment option, as part of a holistic approach to help reduce the frequency and severity of eczema symptoms and flare-ups.
What is Positive Association Technique (PAT)?
Positive Association Technique (PAT) is a natural allergy treatment performed by qualified Naturopaths to help alleviate the symptoms associated with allergies, sensitivities and intolerances.
We use a form of muscle testing (kinesiology) to assess your reactions to various food, airborne and chemical substances to help pinpoint your individual triggers.
We then use a chiropractic tool, called an Acustim, to gently stimulate acupressure points and nerve bundles down either side of your spine, while you’re holding a sample vial of the substance (e.g. dust mites).
This helps to re-train your body to no longer react negatively to the substance and relieve the associated symptoms.
You can learn more about PAT in our podcast episode – “What is Positive Association Technique (PAT)?”
