The desire for naturally derived agents is a growing trend for patients, physicians, and pharmaceutical companies. Studies indicate that complementary and alternative medicine is often used by patients and parents of children with atopic dermatitis, not necessarily with beneficial results. A half-dozen natural agents (ie, topical agents: coconut oil, colloidal oatmeal, sunflower oil, mustard oil, glycerin, and oral Chinese herbal therapy) are discussed because they have become popular for their expected activity in the therapy of atopic dermatitis. A critical review of the published literature on these agents is presented with specific focus on potential such side effects as hepatotoxicity with Chinese herbals.
患者、医生和制药公司对天然来源药物的需求呈增长趋势。研究表明，特应性皮炎患者及其父母常使用补充和替代医学，但不一定会产生有益效果。本文讨论了六种天然药物（即局部用药：椰子油、胶态燕麦片、向日葵油、芥子油、甘油，以及口服中药疗法），因为它们因其在特应性皮炎治疗中的预期活性而受到欢迎。本文对这些药物的已发表文献进行了批判性综述，特别关注了诸如中药肝毒性等潜在副作用。
