Information on Dermatitis



Description Treatment Plan
Dermatitis is an inflammation of the dermis, or skin. It can result from allergic reactions to foods or exposure to irritating agents, such as harsh soaps, or paint. It is important to identify the irritants and eliminate them. An herbal program can include soothing and anti-inflammatory herbal creams, and herbs that speed healing of the skin. If the condition is chronic, digestive stimulants and an herbal enzyme formula can be helpful.
