​
​​Eczema. Conventional "Solution" or Homeopathic Resolution?
​
​Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is one of the most common skin diseases in the UK. 1 in 5 children and 1 in 10 adults is estimated, making it one of the most prevalent skin conditions experienced across all age groups.
​
The mainstream medical world may be sympathetic and offer a steroid cream which may work, but the eczema reappears and can be more complex.
​
You could wait for the child to grow out of it, but with homeopathic medicine, they will definitely grow out of it. You need to be patient as its takes time for the body to recover from steroids.
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. Partly or majorly, the steroids suppress the immune system as they filter down to gut level through the skin which is the largest organ of the body. As the largest organ of the body the skin expresses internal imbalance. ​​
​Typically in babies it may appear as dry patches. Steroids work for a while but the skin is never clear and may become wetter.
​​​
Babies are often easier to treat as they have had less suppression of the symptoms.
​
Antibiotics, medical drugs and family history and emotional health affect skin. ​​Some children have a sensitivity to child immunisations too.
​​​​Allergy testing can reveal sensitivity to milk, nuts, eggs etc. As the homeopathic treatment progresses, I see allergies clear as gut health improves.
​
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, and with a natural cream in percentage the person can tolerate. Suddenly stopping steroids will cause a rebound flare, or red skin syndrome.
​
Equally, when a steroid no longer works, the skin can flare.
​
​​​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. Helios UK can be useful.
​
I currently post out a percentage of post 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. ​​
