The appearance and sensitivity of the skin not only reflect a person’s level of spiritual development, but also mirror their inner battles. Skin conditions often bring to the surface something heavy and unresolved, usually buried deep within the mind.
Each of us has been hurt by others at some point. And each of us, knowingly or not, has caused pain too. What we once inflicted or endured, we are now invited to experience from the other side — and face with humility. Touch is one of our deepest senses — it’s how the skin feels the world. We "touch" others not only with our hands, but through our actions, words, and thoughts.
When human connection lacks joy, warmth, or love, the skin "weakens" — and eczema appears as the soul’s quiet protest. Sometimes, just one family member going through emotional pain is enough to trigger a skin flare-up in another. If a mother is silently “at war” with the father (even if he seems calm and unaffected), her unspoken distress can manifest physically — in herself or in her child, no matter how deeply she loves them. This “trench war” of emotions often erupts as rashes or eczema in their children.
A sudden flare-up can also represent resistance to a treatment. If healing hasn’t been “earned” (because inner change hasn’t happened yet), the body may react with an irritated rash — a kind of inner refusal (toxic-allergic exanthema). Classic eczema is a non-contagious inflammation of the skin. It shows up as itchy bumps and blisters that may ooze and crust during acute phases. Chronic eczema often leaves the skin thickened, discoloured, and scaly.
Eczema reflects conflict. It reveals a discrepancy between what I long for — and what I actually experience.
Many children are born into marriages where the woman’s vision of partnership clashes sharply with her husband's. Her views are often overruled by the seemingly “infallible” male authority. Men often harden emotionally or escape into work and hobbies. Women, initially fuelled by love, try to fight for connection — but eventually bow their heads and go along. They may even pick up their partner’s responsibilities. These overworked, unappreciated women suffer deeply and silently. And the emotional burden often spills over into their children — showing up as eczema.
Eczema (inflammation = resistance) tends to appear in people with sluggish liver function (tired of life), gallbladder imbalances (discontent with their surroundings), and pancreas issues (struggling to believe they’ll ever truly feel the warmth of love). Kidney and blood-related issues may also be present. The skin cries out: “If people were truly as good as they claim to be, wouldn’t they treat each other with more care and kindness?”
❗ The primary cause of eczema — especially the atopic kind — is often the lack of joy in the home, nursery, school, or workplace. Sensitive individuals pick up on this atmosphere, even if it’s unspoken.
❗ Another source is the “heaviness” created when people dwell on their disappointments -often caused by their own misguided choices or unrealistic expectations.
When emotional air becomes stale — polluted by misunderstandings, heartbreak, or scarcity — the lungs struggle. The body then shifts to cleansing through the skin. But this same heavy emotional environment suffocates the skin too, hindering its function — and eczema becomes the physical expression.
❗ Childhood eczema often worsens when emotionally exhausted mothers pour all their love and identity into their children — calling them “the only joy” in their marriage. This creates an overly strong energetic bond. The child then absorbs part of the mother’s fatigue and sorrow, which affects their liver and gallbladder. Still, it’s all part of the soul’s balance — for just as mothers once carry their children through life’s hurdles, children now carry traces of their mothers’ inner battles.
❗Eczema points to an internal emotional struggle. The person is unhappy with what they see, hear, or live through. When spoken words or tears aren’t enough — especially in children — the body speaks through illness.
❗Children suffering from eczema require extra care. In some cases, this illness brings parents closer, encouraging healing and unity. Let this be a wake-up call — a chance to repair what’s been lost. Start observing your children’s flare-ups — and improvements — in relation to their emotional world. Notice how stress, joy, harmony, or disharmony in your home or marriage reflects in their skin.
From a broader view — our ancestors hunted for meat as a test of strength and survival. Today, mass-produced meat comes from animals born to die — animals that endure stress, fear, and suffering before slaughter. While the meat may appear physically fine, energetically it is tainted. Excessive consumption of red meat tends to harden men emotionally and make women more prone to stress. Most people lack the inner discipline or mindset to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle.
But even a temporary break from red meat, fried and roasted foods can help soothe eczema. These foods are full of "fire" — High temperatures and toxic compounds strain the liver and gallbladder, just like intense egos scorch relationships. Opting for raw foods or meals prepared by boiling or steaming (with water that calms and cleanses) is more supportive for both digestion and the emotional body. We also take milk from cows, sheep, and goats — denying it to their young. Milk, especially when heavily processed, becomes energetically unfit for humans.
In eczema, this is even more evident. If you buy dairy, choose fresh, short-shelf-life products with minimal processing. The combination of dairy and meat often triggers eczema, allergies, and deeper health issues in children. Sometimes, milk allergies (even to mother’s milk during breastfeeding) subtly point to unresolved emotional issues between mother and child -unfinished business from a long-forgotten past.
Through conscious interactions with others, gentle massage (on the shoulder blades, forearms, or feet), light movement, and a thoughtful diet (reducing or avoiding meat and dairy) —
we can calm both external and internal conflict with the world, and thus prevent or ease eczema.
Eczema fades when a soul still struggling with life’s lessons begins to taste its own medicine —
often through bitter herbs in baths (ideal for children) or teas.
Pour all of this into a vessel of unconditional love and patience — especially from parents and partners — and you’ve got a powerful, though difficult, remedy. 💖
