Eczema can be a very irritating condition, to put it mildly. We’ve felt it’s effects personally. I helped my son overcome eczema and we’ve learned so much in the process.
It’s important to put healthy things on your skin but that’s for another time. Right now I’ve got some great information about how to balance our bodies and heal from the inside out through drinking water for eczema healing. But let’s start with strengthening all of our organs of elimination.
What in the heck are organs of elimination you say?
Organs of elimination are the organs that help move toxins through our body. If you think about it, it makes sense because if toxins can’t be eliminated through our organs of elimination then our skin gets stuck with the job of eliminating toxins.
The skin is actually the largest organ in, or on rather, our body. However, for this conversation, we want to discover ways to strengthen some of your other organs of elimination.
First, we’re going to talk about water! This is a very tangible thing, to drink lots of water. Now, it might seem silly and basic but it’s so helpful.
Here’s what you do: you take your weight, let’s say you weigh 150 pounds, then you divide it in half. Half of that is 75 and then you switch it from pounds to ounces, and so you would drink 75 ounces of water per day.
That’s a lot of water! Now, of course it’s based on your weight so if you weigh more you’ll drink more; if you weigh less, you’ll drink less.
Drinking good pure healthy water is awesome. Most tap water is not going to cut it. Because most tap water is filled with chlorine and fluoride and things that we don’t really want in our bodies. So we’re talking about drinking filtered water. But, probably not bottled water, unless you’re refilling bottles from a good filtered source. In any case, make sure you’re drinking good clean water, half of your body weight in ounces.
Why am I making such a big deal about water?
Because your liver needs a hand. Water helps flush your liver. The liver is amazing! The liver filters every ounce of blood and lymph and toxins in your body.. Your liver works super hard and it does a lot of cleansing throughout the night. So, it’s very helpful to your liver if you drink a lot of water first thing in the morning. You flush that liver and you help flush toxins right out of your body.
If you could drink one quart of water first thing in the morning, half an hour before you eat anything, you will be doing your body such a huge favor. Isn’t that so cool?
But what about eczema? How does this fix eczema?
Well, it’s going to help eczema because we are flushing the liver. You’re taking a load off your skin because giving your liver a boost makes it so your skin doesn’t have to get rid of those extra toxins. And, you’re going to help your body eliminate those toxins the way they should be eliminated in the first place.
So, drink water for eczema healing and drink a quart of it first thing in the morning a half hour before you eat!
Happy eliminating!
