That's the cause of eczema.
So when somebody has eczema, again, this is a Chinese medicine powder, but it's damp heat.
So there's yeast, there's bacterial or yeast overgrowth that's happening in the colon, and then there's also heat and inflammation there.
So in that case, there are certain herbs that are really good for expelling damp heat.
One really good one for you is probably, it's one most people probably haven't heard of yet.
It's called sarsaparilla.
Sometimes it goes by Smilax.

but it's really more bitters.
Getting some more bitter greens in your diet, things like that, that helps flush some of that damp heat.
And that typically is what you do.
But like exercise wise, if you're to the point where you're getting red in the face.
Or where you're creating a lot of heat,
it could make it worse.
Or of course, if cortisol gets too high from over-exercise, that definitely will bother it too.
