A Homoeopathic approach to Skin Diseases

Skin is the largest organ of the body which acts as a barrier and provides protection from mechanical impacts, pressure changes, micro organisms, radiations and chemicals. Allergens, irritants, infections, hereditary factors and stress can trigger or exacerbate various skin conditions.
Homoeopathy is the first name that comes into mind when one thinks of permanent treatment of skin diseases. From a simple rash to the cancer of skin, homoeopathy has been effective in treating all kinds of skin conditions. The reason behind successful and long lasting results of Homoeopathy in skin conditions is that Homoeopathic remedies act by removing the cause that led to the appearance of skin condition.

In homoeopathy, treatment approach in skin disorders is constitutional approach where the patient is asked a set of questions, based on which analysis and evaluation of the case is made and the exact constitutional therapy is provided. As in Homoeopathic treatment we believe, we need to treat the man in disease and not the disease in man. Skin disorders are the product of emotional stress. Local applications such as ointments, creams, lotions will merely suppress the skin condition and will give immediate relief but it will result in recurrence of the skin symptoms while in Homoeopathy the medicine will go deeper into the system and bring about permanent cure.
Homoeopathy for skin diseases works on principle of like cures like where small diluted doses of Homoeopathic medicine are administered to the patients that produce similar symptoms of the condition the person is suffering from. This activates your own immune system that helps fight the disease. As Homoeopathic treatment focuses on patient as a person, taking into consideration his/her pathological condition and providing total care of patient suffering from various skin conditions. The advantages of incorporating Homoeopathic medicine into the treatment of skin conditions include ease of administration, decreased usage of topical steroids, creams and permanent relief of symptoms.
