Root cause:
Inflammatory response due to diet or skin contact with soaps or chemicals
Approach
Look at diet first. Dairy (most common from what I’ve seen). Tomatoes-nightshades. Plants in general contain defense chemicals and can cause reactions.
Note on dairy – pasteurized dairy (cooked) causes many reactions. The cooking kills the enzymes that help you digest it. It also kills the healthy bacteria and they break down into histamines. Histamines can trigger “allergic” reactions.
Also want to avoid homogenized milk. It changes the molecular structure to suspend the cream in the milk so you don’t have to shake it. It’s very unnatural and unhealthy.
Find raw dairy. If you can’t find it, opt for low temp pasteurized. Avoid ultra pasteurized.
Soap – with fragrances, preservatives, harsh detergents.
Laundary detergent. Don’t use Tide or mainstream. Has forever chemicals in it. Has fragrances dyes etc that can cause skin irritation
Use jojoba oil or beef tallow on the skin as a natural moisturizer
Use a water filter in the shower.
Use a mild handsoap – try African black soap.
