Treating Eczema With
Homeopathy
In homeopathic philosophy, eczema is a clear visual sign of the
exteriorization of an internal disturbance to the Vital Force. It is a chronic, allergic skin
irritation that can cause chronic skin dryness, itchiness, flakiness,
peeling and redness from the irritation. Eczema can appear on any part of
the body. Common areas are the inner surface of elbows and knees, the
backs of the upper arms, wrists, cheeks, neck, scalp, or eyelids. In
children, eczema is often a result from a bad
reaction to vaccinations. This is because vaccinations contain a
dangerous cocktail of heavy metals, viruses and other toxins that a young
immune system is just not able to easily detoxify from, resulting in chronic
eczema as well as other conditions.
From the homeopathic view,
ANY suppression of skin eruptions including with drugs, suppressive creams
or cortisone will lead to deeper and more chronic health problems.
A constitutional remedy is required to address the deep, inner disturbance
in the digestive track and vital organs and support the natural healing of
eczema through global detoxification of the body. The correct
homeopathic remedy will bring the body gently back into balance.
Eczema cures require patience, they are not a quick fix even with homeopathy
and a person's diet it very important as well. We recommend only
water dosing for eczema so that there is no
an aggravation to the skin in the healing process and it is gentle.
