Eczema -The Hard Water Connection

Eczema can be aggravated by hard water scale on your skin.

                                                                                                                                                        As far as we are aware hard water does not cause eczema but,we  do know  that hard water scale deposits do exasperating the condition and can cause high levels of discomfort.

Why is that?
Just imagine million of tiny pieces of microscopic rock many times smaller than particles on a sheet of sand paper – then visualize these particles on your skin, stuck in the pores along with soap and detergent ‘scum’ rubbing and aggravating 24 hours a day – imaging  the drying effect of hard water as the natural oils are cut through and not allowed to keep our skin naturally moist, all of that is bad for delicate sensitive skin that needs gentle loving care but the is more !

Hard water scale and scum will not rinse from your clothing and bed linen properly so you have the added disadvantage of these residuals being in contact with your delicate skin 24hours a day

Remove the twin culprits of hard water scale deposits and sticky curd lime scum from your water and see the benefits of beautifully soft water in your home, cut down on aggravating detergents and cleaning chemicals by a much as 75% and see (and feel) the difference softened water will make.

So if you live with the many problems of hard water why not take advantage of Better Water Solutions Free Hard Water Test and see just how hard your water is and how you can benefit from soft water.

But there are more problems with household water that can be greatly improved by a water softener.  Research shows that:
“Free residual chlorine in bathing water deduces the water holding capacity of the stratum corneum in atopic skin”

These findings suggest that exposure to free residual chlorine can play a role in the development  or exasperation of Atopic Dermatitis.

Chlorine is added to water to prevent disease by water companies and is a very important addition to protect and disinfect the many thousands of miles of underground water pipes in the country, many of them being very old and leaking, but the high concentrations can cause other problems when if comes into contact with skin ( delicate or otherwise) and also by being breathed in as vapour when bathing and showering.

Remove the three perils of Scale, Scum and Chlorine in your household water supply.

I find it exasperating to read an article like this, and then have my exasperation exacerbated by a repetition of the original error. It was otherwise a fine article. Irritated, by the way, is fine word.
