Homeopathy & Eczema Treatment

There are many medicines in homeopathy that are used for the treatment of eczema. A few common homeopathic ways to treat eczema are by using: ars-alb dulcamara graphites lycopodium mezereum peteroleum rhus-tox sulphur Hepar sulphuris calcareum Calcarea carbonica and Calendula But which medicine will work in a particular case can only be judged by a trained homeopath.

Homeopathic Remedies
Arsenicum album (Ars. alb.) This remedy, also called Ars alb by homeopathic practitioners, is an extremely dilute form of arsenic, a metallic poison derived from the chemical element of the same name. Weak preparations of arsenic have had a history of medicinal use; but slow accumulation of the element in body tissues can cause chronic poisoning, leading to gastrointestinal disorders, nausea, dehydration, and even paralysis and death. Ars alb is preferred by practitioners to treat patients with various digestive complaints that are accompanied by signs of dehydration and burning pains, the same symptoms that are induced by arsenic. Arsenicum remedy is effective for a range of digestive disorders including: food poisoning that causes burning vomiting; indigestion; diarrhea; and gastroenteritis from eating too much ripe fruit and vegetables, iced foods, and drinking too much alcohol. Arsen. alb. is effective for asthma with severe breathlessness; stinging mouth ulcers; cracked, dry lips from a burning nasal discharge; tiredness due to a physical illness, such as anemia or asthma, or mental strain, eye inflammation with watery, stinging eyes; headaches with dizziness and vomiting; and fluid retention, especially around the ankles. Dulcamara (Solanum dulcamara), also known as bittersweet, bittersweet nightshade, bitter nightshade, is a species of vine in the potato genus Solanum, family Solanaceae. Bittersweet is used in naturopathy and herbalism. Its main usage is for conditions that have an impact on the skin, mucous membrane and the membrane (synovial membrane) around the joints. Bittersweet is considered by some to be a herbal remedy for treating herpes and allergies. Graphite. This remedy is a form of carbon found in pencils. It is excellent for skin complaints and problems with metabolism. They have tendency to be overweight. Graphites is often used to treat skin problems, particularly eczema, psoriasis, scarring or hardening, abnormal nail formation. People likely to respond to this remedy have tough or leathery skin with cracks and soreness, and often have a long-term history of skin disorders (impetigo, herpes, etc.) The areas behind the ears, around the mouth, or on the hands are often cracked, with a golden oozing discharge that hardens into crusts. Itching is worse from getting warm in bed, and the person will often scratch the irritated places till they bleed. Difficulty concentrating, especially in the morning, is often seen in a person who needs Graphites. Lycopodium. Lycopodium is prescribed by homeopaths for both acute and chronic ailments such as earaches, sore throats, digestive disorders, urinary tract difficulties, hepatitis, prostatitis, and eye conditions. The remedy acts on soft tissues, blood vessels, bones, joints, and the liver and heart. This polychrest is also recommended in the treatment of back pain, bedwetting, fevers, food poisoning , mouth ulcers, mumps, colds, muscle cramps, constipation, coughs, cystitis, gas, sciatica, gout, skin conditions, and joint pain.

indicated in the early stages of pneumonia. Mezereum. A person who needs this remedy often has strong anxiety, felt physically in the stomach. Intensely itching eruptions start as blisters, then ooze and form thick crusts, and scratching can lead to thickened skin. Cold applications often help the itch. A craving for fat and a tendency to feel better in open air are other indications for Mezereum. Petroleum. This remedy is indicated for individuals whose skin is extremely dry and tends to crack, especially on the fingertips and palms. Eczema is worse in winter, with deep, sore cracks that often bleed. The person feels a cold sensation after scratching. Itching is worse at night and from getting warm in bed. The skin is easily infected, and may get tough and leathery from chronic irritation. Rhus toxicodendron (Rhus Tox). A person whose eczema has blister like eruptions that look red and swollen, itch intensely, and are soothed by hot applications may respond to this remedy. The person is restless from discomfort and often is very irritable and anxious. Muscle stiffness, relieved by warmth and motion, is also likely. A person who needs Rhus tox often craves cold milk. Sulphur. Intensely burning, itching, inflamed eruptions that are worse from warmth and worse from bathing suggest a need for this remedy. Affected areas may be red, with scaling or crusted skin. Eruptions can be either dry or moist. This remedy is sometimes helpful to people who have repeatedly used medications and ointments on their eczema without success. Hepar sulphuris calcareum. This remedy may be helpful to very sensitive, chilly people whose eczema is extremely sore and becomes infected easily. The skin, especially on the hands and feet, looks chapped and deeply cracked and is very slow to heal. The person usually feels vulnerable and irritable, with a low resistance to illness and infection. Calcarea carbonica. This remedy is suited to people who are chilly with clammy hands and feet, and tend to develop eczema and cracking skin that is worse in the wintertime. They are easily fatigued by exertion, and feel anxious and overwhelmed if ill or overworked. Cravings for sweets and eggs, a sluggish metabolism, and a tendency toward weight problems are other indications for Calcarea. Calendula. This remedy in potentized homeopathic form can be helpful if the irritated skin has a tendency to get infected. Topical use of the unpotentized herb in lotion, gel, or tincture form is soothing to irritated skin, and can often ease inflammation and prevent infection without artificially suppressing it.
