Acne/Pimples and Homeopathy
 Acne: Introduction
Homeopathic Approach
Acne is a skin disorder in which the sebaceous glands or oil
secreting glands present in the skin of face, chest and back become
over-sensitive to normal levels of androgen. If you are teenager, chances are
pretty good that you have some pimples. Eight out of every ten teens have
acne. Many adults from their 20's to 40's or older can also have acne. Acne
often clears up after several years even without any treatment. But, untreated
acne may leave scars if you wait to outgrow it. There are various types of
acne - Pimples (Blackheads, Whiteheads), Papules, Pustules, Nodules, and
Cysts.
There are many reasons for occurrence of pimples. Teenagers &
young adults are more prone to getting acne due to the normal hormonal changes
that take place at that age. Poor personal hygienic conditions may cause
accumulation of dirt and grease which block skin pores leading to pimples. If
you have dandruff, that can fall on the face and back and become another cause
of pimples.
The following factors may aggravate the conditions: eating
excess of oily food, sweets, chocolates, improper diet & food habits,
cosmetics, overexposure to the sun, smoking, alcohol, drugs, constipation,
insufficient rest, lack of exercise etc...
People with acne are often embarrassed by their appearance which could
lead to lack of self-confidence, anxiety and depression.
Homeopathic Approach  Top
Homeopathy offers natural, effective remedies for
people suffering from Acne.
By using right homeopathic remedies, they would notice a drying up of
pimples/acne and a reduction in the number of existing acne. There will also
be a reduction in associated symptoms like pain, burning and itching. The
skin texture will also improve.
Acne is a skin disorder which should be treated holistically from within
the body and not superficially using ointments and creams because the
outward eruption that we see is the mirror reflection of the internal
disorder of the body. Homeopathy system has a different approach to
disease and remedy from that of conventional system of medicine. In the
conventional allopathic approach, medicines are used that work against
diseases and their symptoms. In Homeopathy, the symptoms of an illness are
viewed as a direct manifestation of the body's attempt to heal itself and a
Homeopathic substance is given that is capable of producing similar
symptoms if given to a well person. In so doing, Homeopathic system attempts to
stimulate the body's own natural healing capacity with Homeopathic
remedies acting as a trigger for the body's own healing forces.
