Not many people realise that their IBS, asthma or skin symptoms could be largely due to salicylate intolerance.
A lovely woman contacted me two weeks ago and said she was told by her naturopath to avoid salicylates for the next 12 months.
Looking for a Magical Eczema-Diet for Salicylate Sensitivity ?
Salicylates are so hard to eliminate from our diet as they’re found in fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, spices and honey.
This woman has tried to refrain from eating foods that contain salicylates and she did get better, yet her dermatitis didn’t go away and it has been pretty depressing for her to have such a constricted diet.
I explained to her that with my treatments she will be able to go back to eating what she loves and her symptoms will improve. She has been amazed by the results and after 2 treatments the skin on her legs has healed.
She sent me these pictures of the before and after and she said she’s happy for me to use them as she wants others to know how remarkable these treatments are.
Feel free to contact me to find out how I can help you get better.
Can Salicylates trigger eczema?
According to a recent comprehensive study, sensitivity to salicylates may trigger or worsen eczema symptoms in 52% of eczema sufferers and 62% of urticaria sufferers. As far as eczema studies go, this is a significant figure because eczema treatments are often high in salicylates and people wonder why they react badly to them. If you react to perfumes, essential oils and other fragrances, or aspirin, you may be sensitive to salicylates. Tea, herbs, coconut oil and avocado are also rich in salicylates, so these are not suitable for 52% of people with eczema. The study has been performed in the Allergy Unit of RPA Hospital, Australia.
Can Salicylates cause eczema?
According to the study mentioned above, food intake rich in salicylates can cause a worsening of skin eczema. Salicylate intolerance (or “Salicylate sensitivity”) is actually the most common chemical sensitivity experienced by eczema sufferers.
In fact, it has been known for more than a century that swallowing aspirin can trigger skin rashes.
A number of researchers in the 1970s reported that diets designed to exclude foods containing salicylates and/or additives caused sustained remission of skin rashes in those patients who showed a positive response to oral challenge with these compounds.
