Eczema skin symptoms resulting from repressed anger

I was told by my naturopath that eczema skin symptoms can also be a sign of repressed anger from within. At first I refused to believe it, but the more I researched eczema and natural healing, the more I realized there might be some truth to it.

What is suppressed anger? Repressed anger simply means that you deny your thoughts and emotions and keep them all inside. You then become unresponsive and numb to several things that can affect you. If you keep all your negative thoughts to yourself, it's possible that you'll develop eczema skin symptoms as your body tries to find an outlet.

Every emotion is a powerful force that permeates your entire body, including your skin. What you feel emotionally is something others can easily observe at your skin level. The effect on your skin is clearly visible to others and can be recorded electrically. For example, your skin blushes when you feel love or embarrassment, breaks out in a cold sweat when you are afraid, and blushes with shame or anger.

If your eczema skin symptoms are observed as red and inflamed rashes, you may have an underlying fire that is fueled by repressed anger. When your emotions are exhausted or you feel stuck, these feelings are likely to lead to dryness or even cracking in the skin. In contrast, excessive emotions are associated with oily skin. Should you experience conflicting emotions, overwhelming feelings of sadness and fear, self-hatred, or inappropriate passions, you may find yourself breaking out in the form of rashes or blemishes.

Repressed anger not only manifests itself in eczema skin symptoms, but it can also negatively affect the rest of your body. These include migraines and ulcers, and in the long term even strokes or tumors. Persistent fears and suppressed anger increase tension and stress. As you know, stress can aggravate and worsen your physical reactions such as eczema, shingles, psoriasis or arthritis.

Naturopaths say that the first body system to respond to suppressed anger is the gastrointestinal or digestive system. Difficulty swallowing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation or stomach ulcers may occur. Remember that repressed anger is the most common cause of ulcerative colitis.

An interesting study of 128 patients in a hospital outpatient clinic was conducted to determine the relationship between repressed anger and the twelve symptoms or diseases. In the 27 eczema patients, it was found that eczema flared up whenever the person couldn't quite cope with the intense frustration of being prevented from doing something or simply being disturbed.

So if you have eczema skin symptoms, you should approach healing by considering your emotional well-being. Do you have suppressed anger? If so, you need to look for ways to manage your anger instead of suppressing it. Seek open communication with loved ones. Alternatively, find outlets that can help you release the raw emotions that simmer but remain alive within you. Channels like religion or taking up meaningful work that help you gain perspective on your life can also help diffuse the anger you feel.
