Homeopathic approach towards acne and pimples

Homeopathic approach - Treating skin disorders is very tough, since it is the outer most part of the body and also often exposed to irritants or pollutants or frictions which hinder the action of drugs. Also recurrence is common in skin disorder, pimples being no exception. Recurrence often produces permanent scarring. In case of pimples, the habit of picking, pinching, rubbing also hinder the curing process and add infection. Also, when the cure is not in the proper way, the disease often repeats and becomes tendency.

Homoeopathic treatment can give permanent relief to recurrent pimples. The early you treat, you get speedier and complete cure without any scar. All forms of pimples are due to an internal disorder, so the usage of external application does not yield permanent results, since it usually suppresses the condition. The tendency to erupt or break into pimples is in the body, not just in the face. So it cannot be cured with ointments. In fact, it is better to avoid topical applications as far as possible. You can notice this with people often using fairness creams which help the skin only as long as it is used. If they discontinue the usage, it will become worse than before.

Some people relate pimples to heat, sleep, hairy constitution, more sweat, more sebum secretion and they try to eliminate it and treat for these symptoms. But whatever may be the reason or reaction, if we get energised or gain immunity, the disease will not affect us.

Internal Homeopathy medicine is often the best natural option to stop recurrence of acne by raising natural resistance towards it without side-effects. The correct direction of cure is not like shutting off at one go. It will slowly come down in occurrence, size, intensity and duration. If we suppress it with ointments or external applications or steroids, it goes off immediately but will again flare up after gaining force. After taking homeopathic medicine, the disease will not vanish but recur with less intensity and for a shorter duration without pain and disturbance. It will also heal fast and finally fade. This is the right direction for safest and permanent cure.

Medicines commonly used for acne are - Belladonna, Beri Beri Aq, Oleum jac, Acid nit, Pulsatilla, Sulphur, Hepar sulph, Bacillinum, Kali Brom, Pyrogen, Art Vul, Calc phos, Lycopodium, Staphysagria, Carbo animalis, Thuja, Anti crud, Calc carb, silicea, Graphites, Sulphur, Nat mur, etc. These medicines should be taken under the advice and diagnosis of a qualified Homeopath.
