If you're a mom struggling to find relief for your child’s eczema, you’re not alone. Eczema affects millions of children, and conventional treatments often involve steroid creams that only provide temporary relief. But what if you could heal your child’s skin from the inside out—naturally?
Dr. Kim Tran, a holistic chiropractor and functional health expert, has done exactly that. Her own son suffered from extreme eczema—cracked, inflamed, and bleeding skin that left him miserable. (See images below) After exhausting conventional options, Dr. Tran turned to holistic health and successfully healed her son completely. Now, she helps other families uncover the root cause of eczema and achieve lasting healing.
The Root Cause: Why Eczema Isn’t Just a Skin Problem
Eczema is often a symptom of deeper imbalances in the body. According to Dr. Tran, the most common triggers include:
Food sensitivities (dairy, gluten, eggs, and nuts being the biggest culprits)
Gut dysbiosis (imbalanced gut bacteria and leaky gut syndrome)
Toxin overload (heavy metals, pesticides, and environmental toxins)
Immune system dysregulation (often linked to birth trauma, C-sections, or antibiotic use)
Dr. Tran’s Step-by-Step Approach to Healing Severe Eczema Naturally
Instead of masking symptoms, Dr. Tran takes a functional medicine approach to find and heal the underlying causes of eczema. Here’s her step-by-step process:
Step 1: Functional Testing to Identify Triggers
Dr. Tran begins with in-depth testing to determine the root cause of a child’s eczema:
Food Sensitivity Testing – Helps pinpoint which foods are causing inflammation.
Gut Health Testing – Identifies harmful bacteria, parasites, and yeast overgrowth.
Heavy Metal and Environmental Toxin Testing – Detects any toxic burden on the body.
Hormone and Immune System Analysis – Looks for imbalances that may contribute to inflammation.
Step 2: Removing the Triggers
Once the triggers are identified, Dr. Tran works with families to eliminate them. This may involve:
Dietary Changes – Temporily removing or replacing inflammatory foods like dairy, gluten, and processed sugar.
Reducing Toxins – Switching to non-toxic household and skincare products.
Supporting Gut Health – Introducing gut-healing foods and supplements.
Step 3: Healing from the Inside Out
Dr. Tran recommends natural healing solutions that nourish the skin and restore internal balance:
Gut Healing Protocol – Using specialized probiotics, bone broth, and L-glutamine to repair the gut lining.
Liver Detox Support – Supplements like milk thistle and glutathione help the body process toxins.
Natural Skincare – Avoiding steroid creams and using nourishing, chemical-free alternatives.
Dr. Tran’s Skincare Protocol and Favorite Brands for Eczema Relief
Through years of experience, Dr. Tran has found that certain brands and products work best for eczema healing:
The following topical recommendations are to be used alongside the protocol mentioned above in order to help heal the skin while you are healing the issues internally.
Daily Filtered Water Baths - Contrary to common belief it is very important to keep skin clean with daily baths.
Keep Baths Short - 5 - 10 minutes max
Use a Bath or Shower Filter to Avoid Hard Water - She recommends Aquasana Shower Filter or Bath Filter or Filter Baby Sink Filter
Pat Dry and Lock In Moisture with Topical Application Within 3 Minutes - This helps the skin to absorb the most moisture : Dr. Tran recommends layering the following skincare products for optimal results:
Start with an Antibacterial Layer - This helps to prevent infection and keep it clean. She recommends Active Skin Repair Kids First Aid Spray
Then Apply Allergy Friendly Ointment - She recommends Tallow, Olive Oil or Shea Butter
Then Lock In Moisture with Thick Moisturizer - She recommends Tubby Todd All Over Ointment, Badger Baby Diaper Rash Cream or Organic Caster Oil
