Eczema and Homeopathy
Eczema:
Eczema is an inflammatory condition of the skin
characterized by itching or burning, redness, scaling and small ulcers. It
can also be accompanied by watery discharge which later on leaves by thick
crusts. Eczema is more the description of a symptom rather than a disease.
Eczema is the result of so many internal and external factors acting singly
or in combination with each other.
Treatment with antibiotics and antihistamines merely
suppress the eczema (resulting condition) causing it to reappear later on. In some
cases, suppressed eczema may lead to asthma or high blood pressure.

Homeopathic Treatment for Eczema:
The Homeopathic approach for Eczema is to treat the
person as a whole rather than treating only the disease. Eczema is
simply an external presentation of an internal disorder due to lowered vitality
and immunity. When the whole person is treated, the power of immune system is enhanced thereby causing the disease to disappear. Homeopathy
does not believe in treating eczema or any skin diseases by simply applying
ointment or creams. A constitutional remedy (specific to the individual) is
selected by assessing the physical, mental and emotional states, family history, and the past health history of the
person. The
type of eczema, location, aggravating
and relieving factors will be taken into consideration, besides many other
factors in choosing the remedy.
Eczema is curable with Homeopathy. Person with acute,
chronic and recurring eczema find excellent treatment with Homeopathic
remedies. Homeopathic treatment not only successfully removes the eczema,
but also eliminates the possibility of development of other
hypersensitivity disorders such as asthma after the eczema is cured.
