If your child is suffering with the scaly and itchy rashes know as eczema (atopic dermatitis), you will want to check out new research that documents probiotics as a potential solution to this problem. Probiotics are the beneficial bacteria that primarily help to maintain the health of the intestinal tract and aid in digestion. Yogurt is a food rich in these friendly germs. Details of this research are presented in “Probiotics May Improve Eczema in Children” in the November, 2012, issue of Natural Standard’s Integrative Medicine Newsletter.
