Although a variety of regimens are available for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD),severe adverse reactions and unpopular costs often limit their usage.In contrast,certain inexpensive,naturally-occurring ingredients are proven effective for AD with fewer side effects.The beneficial effects of these ingredients can be attributed to inhibition of cytoline and chemoline expression,IgE production,inflammatory cell infiltration,histamine release,and/or the enhancement of epidermal permeability barrier function.Since herbal medicines are widely available,inexpensive and generally safe,they could be valuable altematives for the treatment of AD,particularly for those patients who are not suitable for the utilization of immune modulators.In this review,we summarize the therapeutic benefits of natural ingredients for the treatment of AD and the mechanisms of their actions.
