Eczema can be an extremely debilitating condition with often little to no long term solutions available (until you delve into the world of Naturopathy and exactly what's going on). Conventionally, often the solution is topical steroids, but those who have been there before know the long term side effects and that it doesn't address the underlying cause.
In this episode, we are joined by one of Jacinta's previous University Lecturers and Skin Experts, Rebecca Hughes. Rebecca shares with us her knowledge on the multifaceted approach to assessing and treating Eczema and the importance of identifying your individual drivers to develop a unique treatment protocol.
