Homeopathic Remedies

Homeopathy is particularly effective in treating skin disorders, as it targets mind and body simultaneously. It is particularly good for urticaria(hives) and mycosis.

Treat urticaria
Urticaria (hives) are itchy weal or swelling in the skin due to leaky blood vessels. They can have external causes (such as strawberry allergy, sun exposure) or internal (emotional) ones. It takes the form of extremely itchy spots, which turn blotchy after a few days then disappear quickly. Homeopathy offers various remedies for urticaria, the most popular of which are listed below:

For each remedy take 3 granules, 4 times per day:

• Itching that worsens on contact with water: Urtica urens 9 C.
• Red swollen blotches which get better in cold water: Apis 9 C.
• Urticaria arising as a result of excessive eating: Antimonium crudum 9 C.
• Itching that is alleviated by contact with warm water: Arsenicum album 9 C.

Combat mycosis
Our skin is host to innumerable bacteria. Some of which are essential to our health and well being. Others, however, become a nuisance when they proliferate. This is the case with the fungus known as mycosis, which exists in various forms, each of which has a specific treatment. Here are two of the most widely used:

• Dermatophytes: usually picked up in he swimming pool or at the sports hall, and most often found between the toes. Try Mercuriussolubilis 5 C.
• Candida(oral): found in the corners of the lips, often following a course of antibiotics. Take Coundurango 4 C.

If this fails there are antibiotic creams which are also effective in treating these infections.
