Eczema & Homeopathy

Researchers still do not know exactly what causes eczema. However, Homeopathy has a proven track record in helping alleviate chronic symptoms.

There is no KNOWN cause for eczema, but it is well established that several contributing elements have been identified. The condition is likely caused by a combination of several environmental factors and genetic predisposition, that promotes the skin to become more sensitive.

Chronic eczema, also known as Atopic Dermatitis, is associated with certain genes. The presence of these genes seems to increase the predisposition to the condition, but its presence in itself, doesn’t necessarily imply you will suffer from the condition. For example, there are many cases of twins which both have the presence of the genes, but only one develops eczema when the other does not. It is important to note that childhood eczema is two to three times higher in children whose mother or father has a history of eczema.

Eczema is a chronic and deep seated condition and self treatment is discouraged. This condition is best addressed by a qualified homeopath who will take the full case, including the family history, before recommending any form of treatment.

The risk of developing atopic dermatitis increases if both parents have atopic conditions. Because asthma, atopic dermatitis, and seasonal allergies often occur together, they are known as the atopic triad, or concomitants in Homeopathy.

Families with Eczema

Families with a history of other atopic conditions, such as asthma, hay fever, and food or environmental allergies can develop eczema. Approximately 70% of people living with atopic dermatitis have a family history of atopic conditions. About 30% of people diagnosed with atopic dermatitis also have food allergies.

According to Didier Grandgeorge Eczema – ex- aima in French, meaning the one that used to love. The patient can note cope with a break from someone they were very close to and loved very much, which comes back to the love of mother and child. Also, families where there is a history of breakdowns: departures, divorces, double lives etc.

Emotional Health

It is well established that the mental / emotional state of the child, or of the mother during pregnancy, is vital in determining the most suitable remedy.

Homeopathy addresses eczema in two phases:

In the first phase, the homeopathic remedy, with time, will begin to control the itching; in the second phase, they reduce inflammation and promote the healing of the lesions, as well as controlling the progression of eczema.

By reducing inflammation, the redness and scaliness or thickness of the skin also starts to improve. They work effectively to stimulate the immune system to heal the cracks in the skin when present.

In addition, by effectively helping to reduce the itching, the are implicitly also reducing the risk of infection of the skin from excessive scratching.
