The rich soil, pure water, and clean air blend into a new substance. Uute calls the product <span>Re-Connecting Nature (RCN).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To test the benefits, Uute studied the impact of RCT on atopic dermatitis \u2014 the most common form of eczema. The results suggest the treatment really works.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Finnish_nature_vs_eczema\"><\/span>Finnish nature vs eczema<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The study team recruited 142 participants with atopic dermatitis. Half of them were given an RCT lotion, while the other half received a placebo.<\/p>\n<p>Both the groups applied the lotion alongside any conventional medication they wanted. After seven months, Uute measured the effects on their skin.<\/p>\n<p>According to the startup, the RCT lotion<span> strengthened the skin\u2019s protective barrier. It also prevented irritation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The benefits increased during winter, when many eczema sufferers find their skin gets itchier. In the placebo group, meanwhile, the deterioration was significant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Tellingly, the RCT group also felt less need for conventional treatment. <span>At the beginning of winter, 49% of them used atopic medication. In the placebo group, the figure jumped to 77%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Uute\u2019s CEO,\u00a0Kari Sinivuori, said the results prove RCT has real health benefits.<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cFor the first time in the world, we were able to show that nature exposure helps people who already have immune-<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>ted disease,\u201d Sinivuori told TNW.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s potentially a big market for the treatment.
