Using Quinoa As A Home Remedy For Eczema
Posted by GuestPoster in Health & Fitness
As you may already know, oatmeal has been used for hundreds of years to treat a variety of skin ailments including eczema, psoriasis, and burns. While it is a good eczema cure, there may be a better alternative available. You can heal your eczema using quinoa.
Quinoa has been used as a food and health remedy for centuries. Originally from the Andes region of South America, the ancient Incans used it to cure a variety of skin conditions. However, it has only been in the past decade that people have once again been using quinoa to heal their skin.
Quinoa is very similar to oatmeal, but is actually a better eczema remedy. The lipids and saponins in oatmeal are its main therapeutic attributes. Lipids moisturize the skin and create a barrier function against allergens and irritants. Saponins are a natural cleanser that will further remove those allergens and irritants. Furthermore, some people have an allergy to oatmeal, but there have been very few instances of allergic reactions to quinoa.
Scientists studying how to cure eczema have looked for alternatives to oatmeal therapy for eczema. They were surprised at their results when they began to examine quinoa. Quinoa has more than three times the lipids as oatmeal and twice the saponins. It is also unusually high in proteins, offering more healing properties than oatmeal.
Like oatmeal, quinoa is a great option among home remedies for facial eczema because it caters to the delicate skin on your face and eyelids. It is versatile enough to use on “high traffic” areas such as your hands and feet. It is gentle enough to use on an infant and has no known side effects.
Quinoa is simple to use. In fact, it is easy to puree and prepare than oatmeal. You can use it in lotions, masks, bathes, and any other way that you use oatmeal. You can buy quinoa at most grocery stores and health stores. It is so simple and effective to use that you will soon ask yourself why you did not try it sooner.
