Wellfinity’s Unique Approach to Eczema
Our experts adopt an individualised strategy when addressing any health issue, including eczema. This entails conducting comprehensive assessments, in-depth analysis, and functional testing to identify the specific underlying factors or factors relevant to your situation. In most cases, our examinations and natural eczema therapies will emphasise an all round approach to not only reverse your eczema but also restore overall health and wellness on a sustained basis.
Detoxification
The role of removing toxins and allergens in managing eczema. The initial phase of detoxification involves calming the gut and reducing inflammation in the body. Regarded as the gold standard in functional medicine to kickstart the detox process, it is One of the most powerful methods to achieve this is through dietary modifications, which entail reducing or eliminating inflammatory foods. It also involves identifying potential triggers like foods containing salicylates, amines, and glutamates, which can induce or worsen eczema. The beauty of an elimination diet is that not only has the gut been rested, inflammation reduced, but it is also followed by feeling more energy and clarity than ever.
In our practice, we have observed that many members have unrecognised heavy metal toxicity present in them. A significant portion of individuals with chronic illnesses, especially eczema are not even told about this toxicity and its link to their issues. Since the skin serves as a primary avenue for expelling toxins, it's not surprising that atopic dermatitis is linked to exposure to such heavy metals. Removing these heavy metals is another step in the process of detoxification.
Lifestyle Adaptations
Tailored skincare routines, stress management techniques, and environmental adjustments.
strict avoidance of detergents and other topical irritants that can cause skin barrier permeability and exacerbate inflammation. Environmental pollutants or chemicals found in typical beauty products can worsen skin inflammation and raise transepidermal water loss. Steering clear of skin toxins and fostering a thriving skin ecosystem are crucial factors to address when managing atopic dermatitis.
Stress management techniques where we encourage our members to find a technique to practice daily.
Aim for eight hours of quality, uninterrupted sleep every night.
Being physically active and moving helps improve our blood circulation. Our liver and lymph nodes start their detoxification process. When we sweat, our kidneys filter out the contaminants from our body.
Soak in as much of sunlight as possible, consciously reduce blue light exposure (from lights, digital screens, etc) as much as possible, ensure we are drinking or cooking in water that is structured, ionized and alkaline or free of toxins.
Dietary Recommendations
Emphasizing anti-inflammatory foods, potential allergen elimination, and gut health measures. Start with an elimination diet so as to remove inflammatory foods. Nourish the body with nutrients that support skin health and optimal immune function, whether in food or supplemental form.

True Story of Recovery at Wellfinity
Success Stories
From Skin Struggles to Sunshine
Meet Mira, a bubbly 7-year-old who loved to play just like any other kid. But her life took a challenging turn when she started to develop weird skin patches. These patches grew into purple areas with white lines and black spots, looking like scales. They spread across her legs and arms, becoming so noticeable that she felt the need to cover up, even among friends.
Before coming to Wellfinity, Mira and her family tried many things. They visited skin experts and tried different types of medicine like homeopathy and ayurvedic treatments. But nothing worked. Most treatments used harsh skin creams that didn’t fix the problem.
So, what made the difference? At Wellfinity, we took a different approach. First, we did many tests to find out the real issues affecting Mira. These tests checked for things like infections, not enough water in the body, lack of good nutrition, and how well her liver was working.
After understanding Mira’s unique needs, we made a full health plan for her. This plan started with fixing her body’s swelling and getting rid of her infections and toxic stuff in her body.
We also changed her diet to be more natural and healthy. This change, along with treating her infections and toxic issues, made the patches start to dry up and peel off. And it wasn’t just her skin that got better. Mira became happier, cried less, and even her ear infections and bruises healed faster.
Over time, her original skin began to show, and she was able to eat foods that she had to avoid before. Now, Mira is a joyful 7-year-old playing in the sun, wearing shorts and tees, just like her friends.
With Wellfinity, Mira found more than a cure; she reclaimed her childhood.
(Mira is a real patient but we’ve changed her name and image to protect her privacy.)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We take a functional approach with eczema. We have a doctor developed & doctor supervised protocol. The foundation lies in the objective TESTING!
What triggers eczema flare-ups?
Food hypersensitivity has been found to trigger flare ups in eczema in many cases. 90% of these are caused by wheat, sugars, milk, eggs, peanuts and soy.
There are other trigger elements too such as constant exposure to environmental toxins and mould, inflamed and a compromised gut health, dehydration at a cellular level, nutritional deficiency and insufficiency,
How is eczema different from psoriasis?
Eczema and psoriasis are skin issues characterised by red, flaky skin. These conditions are frequently mixed up, yet they exhibit distinctive dissimilarities.
Psoriasis isn’t just a skin problem; it’s an autoimmune condition where your immune system acts up, causing your skin cells to grow too quickly. This makes raised, thick, dry, red patches.
Eczema, also called dermatitis, is a common skin issue that can lead to dry, red, raised, or scaly skin that may even blister, crack, and ooze fluid. People with eczema are more likely to get skin infections, too.
Psoriasis tends to develop in the opposite places that eczema does. So, instead of the folds of the skin, psoriasis will show up on the outer surfaces.
How long does eczema last?
Eczema can affect people differently. Some kids who have it may see their symptoms improve as they grow up, while the majority others might have more serious symptoms as they get older. Eczema through conventional treatments can be subdued for a limited period of time, which again varies from months to years (we had a 16 yr old come to us with a serious flare up that was almost not there for 6-7 years). But if it doesn’t go away, the symptoms could get worse when there is continuous imbalance, stress and nutritional deficiencies.
Why haven’t conventional treatments worked for me?
The usual way to treat eczema involves using remedies like creams with corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, antihistamines to ease itching, and moisturisers to hydrate the skin. However, these methods are mere band-aids that mainly deal with the outward symptoms and don’t get to the root of the problem. Hence these won’t work to cure you of your eczema.
If you’re dissatisfied with typical eczema treatments and want to explore a more natural approach, our doctors and clinicians who are trained in functional medicine are here to assist you. Our eczema online clinic is available to people in India and overseas via digital health services.
