HOMEOPATHIC DERMATOLOGY
Tolle Causam
One skin disorder or condition affects one out of every four patients in my general primary care practice. Skin disorders and conditions can be difficult to treat, as many of you are aware. They are, in my opinion, even more challenging to treat without the assistance of homeopathic remedies. Since I have been studying the use of homeopathy to treat skin conditions for a number of years, I have accumulated numerous “before and after” images and videos of various skin disorders from my own patient population.
“Even though classical homeopathy, which has been around for nearly 250 years, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has been around for 5000 years, have been rendering consistent observations, tying skin conditions to the health of internal organs, the conventional dermatologists still remain in a dangerous, trigger-happy ‘cortisone mode,’ concerning the majority of skin problems,” states Savely Yurkovsky, MD. The majority of naturopathic doctors, in my opinion, would agree with this statement.
Treating Skin Conditions Using Homeopathy
The following is a succinct summary of the homeopathic philosophy for treating skin conditions: Repression is not acceptable! Internal diseases manifest on the skin. Steroids and other suppressive topical and internal pharmaceutical medications applied topically to treat a skin disease do not actually address the diseased state. Instead, it only prevents its peripheral expression, bringing the disease inside the body and causing side effects. Contrary to suppressive therapies, homeopathic remedies, on the other hand, encourage the body to heal itself (energetically). Anti-itching, anti-microbial, or anti-inflammatory properties are not the sole functions of homeopathic remedies. Naturally, even homeopathic remedies can be suppressive if used improperly.
