Choosing your homeopathic acne treatment
Uncomplicated acne
- Antimonium crudum 4 to 7 CH: for heavy eaters, or following overeating. Taken three times a day for low dilutions, once a day for 7 CH.
- Sulfur iodatum 7 CH: for a chilly teenager who gets colds easily, acne on the forehead and back, 3 granules 3 times a day.
- Arnica montana 5 CH: for symmetrical lesions with a tendency to ecchymosis, especially if the lesions are bruised. Taken twice a day.
- Eugenia jambosa 4 to 5 CH: this remedy is mainly used in young girls whose lesions worsen during menstruation. The skin is oily and the pustules indurated. Taken three times a day.
- Juglans regia 4 to 5 CH: acne is aggravated by fatty foods. In young girls, menstruation is early and blackish. Digestive problems include frequent bloating. Take two to three times a day.
- Selenium 7 CH: seborrhea; skin has an oily appearance. It is dotted with blackheads.
Suppurating acne
- Arnica montana 7 CH: take once a day.
- Hepar sulfur: when acne is highly inflammatory and the pus draining from lesions is bloody and foul-smelling. We don't specify a dilution for this remedy, as it can be tricky to handle. In low dilutions, it promotes suppuration and accelerates healing; in high dilutions, it dries out lesions and slows pus formation.
- Silicea 4 to 15 CH: for long, cold individuals. In low dilution, it promotes healing, prevents superinfections and remineralizes the body. Taken twice daily. A weekly 15 CH dose can be added to optimize its action, provided general signs are present (see card).
- Sulfur 9 CH: this remedy is often highly effective, provided general signs are present, but should only be prescribed by a physician, as the risk of aggravation following its use is not negligible. It is generally preferred to Sulfur iodatum 9 CH, which is easier to handle.
Scarring and micocystic acne
- Baryta carbonica 4 to 7 CH: scars are sclerotic, the skin is atrophied, indurated and sometimes retracted.
- Kalium bromatum 9 CH: cysts are indurated; other signs should justify the use of this remedy, notably hand agitation (see card).
- Tuberculium residuum 9 CH: scar lesions are indurated; lymph nodes are frequently present. Lesions are also present on the back.
- Luesinum 9 CH: lesions are extremely large and disfiguring, with a tendency to ulcerate.
How can I care for my skin with homeopathy?
Homeopathy is an alternative care method that has been used for centuries to treat a variety of health problems, including skin problems in children and adults. This method of care is based on the principle that natural substances can be used to boost the immune system and help heal skin diseases and conditions.
Children's skin problems can be particularly frustrating and difficult to treat. Redness, itching and skin irritation can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergies, infections, environmental irritants and hormonal problems. Homeopathy can be used to treat these skin problems in children safely and effectively, without the side effects often associated with conventional medicines.
One of the advantages of homeopathy is that it takes into account the individual as a whole, rather than focusing solely on skin symptoms. This means that homeopathic treatment will be tailored to the child's unique needs, taking into account his or her medical history, lifestyle and eating habits.
There are many homeopathic remedies that can be used to treat skin problems in children, including:
- Calendula: this plant is often used to relieve skin redness and irritation. It is particularly useful for treating rashes caused by diapers and dermatitis.
- Pulsatilla: this remedy is often used to treat skin rashes that are accompanied by itching and watery eyes. It is also useful for treating rashes caused by food allergies.
- Sulfur: this remedy is often used to treat skin rashes that are accompanied by itching and burning. It is also useful for treating eczema and psoriasis.
Homeopathy can also be used to treat skin problems in adults. The same remedies used to treat skin problems in children can be used in adults, with an adaptation of the frequency of intake.
Choosing homeopathy for dermatitis
Homeopathy offers a gentle treatment option for seborrheic dermatitis. Ointments based on Graphites or Mezereum can be applied directly to lesions to soothe and moisturize the skin.
Effective combination of remedies
For a soothing, moisturizing and antiseptic action, Graphites and Mezereum ointments can be combined with a Calendula ointment. This combination can be applied two or three times a day for optimum effectiveness.
Treating skin inflammation
Homeopathy offers several remedies for the specific treatment of skin inflammation, especially in cases of severe inflammation. The administration of 5 CH 9 granules twice a day is recommended, depending on the area of inflammation:
- For scalp and face: Graphites, Natrum muriaticum, Oleander
- For limbs: Anagallis, Antimonium and Petroleum
- For genitalia: Croton tiglium.
Medical consultation
Although homeopathy can offer relief, it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional if symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis persist or worsen. A professional can assess your situation and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
