Eczema and Meditation

Eczema and Meditation

Fifteen minutes of meditation a day can help to improve the connection between your mind and your body. Sit in a comfortable spot and close your eyes. Breathe deeply and slowly, then let it go.

Try to focus on each breath. The more you follow the breathing, the more peaceful you will feel. When your mind wanders, bring it back into focus.

Researchers have studied the brain and found a correlation between the prefrontal cortex and healing from anxiety quicker. They found an increase in activity on the left prefrontal output, which helped patients heal much more quickly.

Scientists have concluded that communication between the brain and skin can be important for good skin health.
