​​Eczema. Allopathic/Conventional Medicine or Homeopathy
​
Eczema is distressing upsetting, extremely uncomfortable and holds the sufferer and usually with children, the parents and wider family.
​
The mainstream medical world will be sympathetic and offer a steroid cream which works at first but the eczema reappears and is usually more complex.
​
You could wait for the child to grow out of it, but with homeopathic medicine, they will definitely grow out of it.
Never JUST a skin issue; the roots and triggers for eczema are individual. There is often a family history of skin problems and the eczema may be accompanied by allergies. ​​
​Typically in babies it may appear on the trunk of the body as dry patches or the back of the head or an the face. Steroids work for a while but the skin is never clear without the steroid and gets worse. It may appear in the folds of the skin and the dry weeps.
​
Its now a systemic issue and a battle.
​
​Steroids push the symptoms back but the skin will keep trying to express the inner imbalance. The steroids can then be stronger inn prescription. The stronger they go the worse the effect on the immune system.
Babies are often easier to treat as they have had less suppression of the symptoms.
​
Toxins, pharmaceutical drugs and even baby vaccinations along with that sometimes family history often affect gut health, causing more sensitivity. The skin, the largest organ of the body, will express inner disturbance from gut level, in the process of protecting the more inaccessible more important inner organs. What clever bodies we have. ​​
​​​​Allergens: searching for the problem, causes further confusion for the parents or sufferer. Foods or chemicals are only added triggers, while the cause really lies in the current internal gut imbalance of the person. As the eczema clears; the allergies become gradually diffused and eventually resolve. I see this all the time.
​
Homeopaths see the overall health picture as interconnected and unique to the individual.
​​​​​
​I rarely if ever take people OFF steroid creams for the first three months while homeopathy is doing its hardest work in the background. We can then try weaning off mixed with a natural cream.​​ in percentage the person can tolerate.
​
​​​Follow up is booked for two or three months after the consultation and costs £70. I offer support in between appointments, often via What's App for panic.
​
I work internationally. Here I will need to email the remedies for you to collect from a pharmacy in your country. They are not expensive. Helios UK can be useful.
​
I currently post out most consultation remedies to the UK. There is a charge for postage.
​​​​
​
Why not book a free 20-minute meeting, to see if you would like to work with me. Homeopathy clears from the inside out without just suppressing the symptoms. It takes patience, explanation, understanding and support from the homeopath. ​​
