Can celery juice help eczema?

Celery moved from being the best-supporting veggie complementing many dishes to the leading character as the power veggie for healing - eczema!

Consuming celery juice on an empty stomach in the morning can yield fantastic results for the skin, especially for those with eczema. Just what is eczema, and why is finding alternative healing so important?

According to the Mayo Clinic, "Atopic dermatitis (Eczema) is a condition that causes dry, itchy and inflamed skin. It's common in young children but can occur at any age. Atopic dermatitis is long-lasting (chronic) and tends to flare sometimes." Some symptoms include rashes, swollen skin, bumps, and raw, darkened, and sensitive skin.

The National Eczema Association shared that people spend an average of $600 per year on treatment for the skin virus. For others with more severe cases, the costs can be more than $5,000 - so imagine the excitement of those living with eczema when they learn of this "new" power veggie that can reduce their woes one sip at a time.  

What makes celery so powerful, and is it a trend or remedy for curing eczema? Let's take a look at the powerful nutrients found in it. Celery contains about 95% water, soluble and insoluble fiber, and carries minerals like sodium, magnesium, and iron, which help alkalize the body. Celery is full of antioxidants and contains vitamins C, A, K, beta carotene, and flavonoids, and is high in minerals like potassium and folate. 

Since eczema is inflammation of the skin (among other things), and celery contains over 25 anti-inflammatory compounds - it's clear on its direct impact on the skin!

It's a powerful tool, and though consuming it is beneficial, it doesn't mean that if one drinks celery juice, they should neglect treatments disclosed via a primary care physician. Instead, they should consult their doctor for the best plan for them. 

Given its demand, there is easy access to celery juice; those willing to make it themselves can make it with a blender or a juicer - and almost all grocery stores from chains, health, and mom-and-pop shops carry the power green drink. 

So, is the consumption of celery juice a trend or a remedy? The truth is, it's both! It's a trend because people have seen the benefits of celery consumption, and for them, they'll "try it" to see if it works.

For others, they want to see results; they need to see it - and for them, it just may be the remedy required to reset their lives, save money, and walk confidently in their skin.
