Homeopathy: One-Stop Solution for Skin Problems

Individualized homeopathic treatment can garner a favourable response in patients with chronic skin diseases. Therefore, the holistic approach used in homeopathy may be a useful strategy, along with conventional treatment.

Treating Skin Conditions with Homeopathy

According to a research study by The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) homeopathic treatment for skin diseases can be briefly summarized as follows: /p>

1. The skin is where internal diseases can manifest. Signs and symptoms (in general, but also particular to the skin) are an expression that the body is trying to heal itself (an attempt to eliminate internal toxicity). Therefore, suppression of a skin disease is not ideal!
2. Treating a skin disease with topical applications of steroids and other suppressive conventional medications does not address the skin condition. Rather, it only prevents its peripheral expression, thereby pushing the disease deeper into the body and as a result, causing side-effects. Such suppressive therapies provide only short-term relief, and the cessation of such treatments result in reoccurrence of the skin lesions.
3. Homeopathic remedies by themselves are not ‘anti’, such as anti-itching, anti-microbial, or anti-inflammatory. Homeopathic remedies, stimulate the body to heal itself (energetically); the opposite of what happens with suppressive conventional treatments.

Case Study of Skin Problems

In homeopathic treatment, during the case study of various skin disorders; a homeopathy doctor will pay attention to the following parameters:

1. Appearance of the skin, including colour, skin discharge and consistency. The characteristics of the skin discharge are particularly important. For example, if the discharge is honey-like (yellow and sticky); the homeopathy doctor may consider the homeopathic remedy Graphites as the diagnostic treatment.

• A patient who may possibly respond to homeopathic remedy Graphites has tough skin with cracks and soreness, with a long-term history of skin disorders. Itching may get worse from getting warm in bed, and the person may often scratch the areas, till they bleed. /li>

2. Sensation also provides critical information. Various sensations include numbness, tingling, itching, pricking and burning pain. These sensations are then monitored by a modality (refers to what makes skin disease better or worse)./li>
3. Response to temperature (cold or hot) is also an important aspect of the case study. For example, if heat makes the sensation better, then the homeopathy doctor may consider the homeopathic remedy Rhus Tox or Sulphur.

• A patient whose eczema has blister like eruptions that look red and swollen, itch intensely, and are soothed by hot applications may respond to Rhus Toxicodendron homeopathic remedy.
• A patient with intense burning, itching, inflamed eruptions that get worse due to warmth or after a bath may respond to the homeopathic remedy Sulphur. The affected areas may be red, with scales and skin crusts. Eruptions can be either dry or moist.

4. The location is sometimes the key; whether the location is on hands, feet, or scalp makes a difference in a homeopathic remedy selection.
5. Associated symptoms are also very helpful to find the correct homeopathic remedy. For example, if severe anxiety is present with the skin diseases, then the homeopathic doctor many consider Arsenicum Album.
   • A patient who may respond to homeopathic remedy Arsenicum Album usually feels anxious, restless, and is compulsively neat and orderly. The skin is dry, itches, and burns intensely. Indigestion with burning pain are often noticed.
6. A homeopathic doctor will be cautious about possible allopathic interference, not just during the first visit, but also during the follow-up visits. Conventional allopathic drugs (topical and oral medications) are extremely suppressive and treat the skin conditions temporarily; thereby making the case study challenging. In such cases, homeopathic specialist will follow the diagnosis and the signs and symptoms of a patient, prior to taking the conventional treatment.
7. Note that etiology (study of causation or origination) often prevails over pathology (study of the causes and effects of a skin disease) in terms of a homeopathic remedy selection. So, a homeopathy specialist will always try to understand the starting point of any skin disease. For example, if trauma was the etiology, a homeopathic doctor may consider Arnica Montana regardless of signs and symptoms.
   • Homeopathic remedy Arnica Montana works effectively on pre-and post-surgery patients.

The homeopathic remedies mentioned above are just to make you understand that there are different homeopathic remedies for various skin diseases. Therefore, please do not self-medicate. Always consult a professional homeopathic practitioner to determine an appropriate remedy to treat your skin conditions.

Selecting the Homeopathic Medicine

How does a homeopathic doctor select the homeopathic medicine? They consult homeopathic ‘therapeutic’ books for a differential diagnosis (top remedies that match the case) and homeopathic repertories. Then a homeopathy doctor will find the top rubrics (category names) to narrow down the medicine choices for various skin diseases.

A very critical question in homeopathic management of skin disorders is: Does the patient need an acute remedy or a constitutional homeopathic remedy? A constitutional remedy is based on a patient’s mental, emotional, and physical signs and symptoms. On the contrary, an acute remedy addresses, a few acute signs and symptoms.

How will a homeopathy doctor identify the ‘centre of gravity’; is it in the skin, or in the whole person? If the patient is generally healthy, but suffers from, severe acne, then the ‘skin acne’ is the centre of gravity. In this case, a homeopathy doctor may prescribe homeopathic remedies for acne. On the other hand, if the patient with acne has a long history of suppression by drugs (oral or topical), then the centre of gravity is the ‘whole person’. In this case, it makes more sense to prescribe a constitutional homeopathic remedy for acne.
