Affirmations To Heal Eczema
Filed Under Eczema Causes, Eczema Mind Power, Eczema Treatment | 1 Comment
I’ve just finished reading this book on “You Can Heal Your Life” by Louis Hay. In her book, she recommends the idea that poor health or just about any symptoms that you are experiencing can often be linked to a low self esteem or lack of self love. Her solution is to practise saying self affirmations as often as possible throughout the day, to change your negative self talk. When you change your thoughts, you start to change your belief system and to love yourself more. Healing is then experienced at all fronts.
Wait a minute….You may be tempted to scoff at the possibility of curing yourself with the use of affirmations. However, look at it this way: if Louis can heal herself from terminal cancer, applying the power of positive belief through the use of affirmations, what makes you think it is not possible for eczema?
Louis Hay documented a long list of health conditions and the affirmations to say for each of them. Here, I’ve listed down, from her book, those that apply to various skin symptoms and diseases:
Eczema
Probable Cause: Breath-taking antagonism. Mental eruptions.
Affirmation: “Harmony and peace, love and joy surround me and indwell me. I am safe and secure.”
Skin Problems
Probable Cause: Anxiety, fear. Old, buried guck. I am being threatened.
Affirmation: “I lovingly protect myself with thoughts of joy and peace. The past is forgiven and forgotten. I am free in this moment.”
Scabies
Probable Cause: Infected thinking. Allowing others to get under your skin.
Affirmation: “I am the living, loving, joyous experssion of life. I am my own person.”
Hives (Urticaria)
Probable Cause:Small, hidden fears. Mountains out of molehills.
Affirmation: “I bring peace to every corner of my life.”
Herpes Simplex (Herpes Labialis)
Probable Cause:Burning to bitch. Bitter words left unspoken.
Affirmation: “I think and speak only words of love. I am at peace with life.”
Cold Sores (Fever Blisters)
Probable Cause: Festering angry words and fear of expressing them.
Affirmation: “I only create peaceful experiences because I love myself. All is well.”
Itching (Pruiritis)
Probable Cause: Desires that go against the grain. Unsatisfied. Remorse. Itching to get out or get away.
Affirmation: “I am at peace just where I am. I accept my good, knowing all my needs and desires will be fulfilled.”
Rash
Probable Cause: Irritation over delays. Babyish way to get attention.
Affirmation: “I love and approve of myself. I am at peace with the process of life.”
Ringworm
Probable Cause: Allowing others to get under your skin. Not feeling good enough or clean enough.
Affirmation: “I love and approve of myself. No person, place or thing has any power over me. I am free.”
Psoriasis
Probable Cause: Fear of being hurt. Deadening the senses of the self. Refusing to accept responsibility for our own feeling.
Affirmation: “I am alive to the joys of living. I deserve and accept the very best in life. I love and approve of myself.”
Of course, Louis also managed to cure herself of cancer not just with words alone. She took actions that supported her new empowering beliefs about herself and her health. She did detoxification, yoga, watched her diet, eliminated unhealthy foods from her diet, meditate, amongst others. This being the case, I would think that my Eczema Diet Secrets will be a perfect companion book to hers.
“You can Heal Your Life” by Louis Hay is certainly a good one to read. It recommends an alternative angle to healing yourself from eczema. If you are interested to find out what affirmations to use for other health conditions and how they are related to your emotions, do check her book out.

Reduce Eczema Symptoms Through Self Expression
Filed Under Eczema Mind Power, Eczema Prevention, Eczema Skin Symptoms, Eczema Treatment, Natural Eczema Treatment | Leave a Comment
I have already shared the likelihood of eczema being a case of repressed anger. Repressed anger happens when you bottle up your feelings and do not find an outlet. Perhaps, you prefer not to have an outright confrontation with the other party or that you have simply been taught never to express your inner thoughts because doing so means that you are a weakling.
Treating eczema should be made on a holistic perspective; that is a full recovery can only be the case where there is balance in mind-body-spirit. Hence, instead of bottling up your anger and frustration, consider instead about communicating your stress to others.
Discussing your feelings in a positive way is not venting. Venting can turn into boring monologues and drowning in self-pity. The goal is to express and acknowledge your feelings to a trusted person in a one-on-one environment. If you do not feel you have someone you can talk to in confidence, then I recommend that you keep a journal. As you write, you are crystalizing and releasing the emotions you harbor inside.
Obviously, it will help if you can communicate in a positive manner. Turn the negatives in your life around and see if you can learn a useful lesson. Also use visualization to picture the positive results reducing stress. Laughter is also a good medicine; hence look at the funny side of life! Stress management experts say laughter releases the tension of pent-up emotions and helps us keep our perspective.
Anger is a toxin that needs to be eliminated. Over time, it can accumulate to create havoc in your body. My gut instincts tell me that repressed anger have manifested in symptoms of eczema for me in the past. Learning self expression and how to cope with stress in the recent years have been very helpful in keeping my eczema symptoms down.
