Living with eczema can be exhausting—not just physically, but emotionally too. The constant itch, flare-ups, dry patches, and unpredictable reactions can take a toll on your confidence, sleep, and comfort. Whether you’ve been told it’s something you’ll just have to live with, or you’ve tried countless creams and medications without lasting relief, we’re here to offer a different path.

​

At Healing Tree Acupuncture & Natural Medicine in Gosford, we offer natural, integrative eczema treatment support for adults and children. Our approach combines holistic diagnostics, gentle therapies, and practical lifestyle guidance to help manage symptoms and support the body from within.

​

What Is Eczema?

Eczema (also known as atopic dermatitis) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can appear as dry, itchy, red, or weeping patches on the skin. It is often linked with immune dysregulation, environmental triggers, and impaired skin barrier function.

​

Common symptoms include:

• Intense itching or burning skin

• Red, inflamed, or flaky patches

• Cracked, dry, or thickened skin

• Oozing or crusting in severe flare-ups

• Skin infections from frequent scratching

• Sleep disturbances and emotional distress

 

Eczema can affect any age group but is especially common in babies, children, and those with a family history of allergies, hay fever, or asthma.

A Holistic View of Eczema

At Healing Tree, we take a whole-body view of eczema. Rather than only addressing what’s visible on the skin, we ask: why is the skin reacting this way in the first place?

​

We often explore:

​

1. Gut Health and the Skin-Gut Axis

An imbalanced gut can lead to systemic inflammation and increased skin sensitivity. We support healthy digestion and microbial balance as part of our eczema care.

​

2. Immune System Overactivity

Eczema often involves an overreactive immune system. Our goal is to calm inflammation, support immune resilience, and reduce flare-up frequency.

​

3. Environmental and Chemical Triggers

Household chemicals, fragrances, skincare products, and even detergents can irritate sensitive skin. We guide you in identifying and minimising these triggers.

​

4. Stress and the Nervous System

Stress is a major contributor to eczema flare-ups. We use gentle therapies to regulate the nervous system and promote calm from within.

​

5. Food Sensitivities and Allergies

Certain foods may aggravate eczema for some individuals. We can support you in identifying patterns and making personalised dietary adjustments.

​

Our Eczema Support Approach

We understand that no two eczema cases are alike. That’s why we offer a tailored, comprehensive plan that fits your skin, your body, and your life.

​

1. Initial Consultation and Skin History

We take time to listen to your health journey—skin history, triggers, lifestyle, diet, and previous treatments. We assess not just your skin, but your whole system.

​

2. Gentle Acupuncture

Acupuncture can support immune regulation, reduce inflammation, and calm the mind and body. It may also promote circulation to affected areas to support skin repair.

​

3. Herbal and Nutritional Support

We may recommend customised herbal formulas or topical botanicals alongside food-based strategies to help strengthen the skin barrier and calm inflammation from within.

​

4. Skincare and Environmental Advice

We guide you on eczema-friendly skincare routines, safe natural products, and ways to reduce chemical exposure in your environment.

​

5. Stress and Sleep Support

Eczema and poor sleep often go hand in hand. We support restful sleep and emotional resilience with lifestyle tools, acupuncture, and more.
