    You are what you eat or, more precisely, what your MICROBIOME eats.

    How much influence does the gut microbiome have on developing eczema or allergies? Turns out, quite a lot. Join this special excerpt from our research symposium to learn how antibiotics in pregnancy and early childhood increases eczema risk and how adding "biotics" might prevent it in the first place. Our speakers are Dr. David Margolis (University of Pennsylvania) and Dr. Nikole Kimes (Siolta Therapeutics). If you like our podcast, please consider supporting it with a tax deductible donation.

    Can Traditional Chinese Medicine treat eczema?

    Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) uses biological extracts to treat disease. Eczema sufferers may take a herbal bath, apply a specially formulated cream or drink herbal tea as part of TCM treatment. Dr. Xiu Min Li from New York Medical College explains TCM and we ask: Is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) safe for newborns? Can you use TCM and topical steroids simultaneously? Could TCM prevent the allergic march? Research mentioned Investigation of Berberine's Potential in Attenuating Staphylococcus aureus-Induced Inflammatory Responses Investigation of In vitro Anti-inflammatory and Antimicrobial Effects of Berberine Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in moderate-to-severe eczema in clinic and animal model: beyond corticosteroids Traditional Chinese medicine for food allergy and eczema Effect of traditional Chinese medicine on skin lesions and quality of life in patients with moderate to severe eczema Efficacy and safety of Chinese herbal medicine for atopic dermatitis: Evidence from eight high-quality randomized placebo-controlled trials.
