Skin
Your skin is usually the first thing people notice when they meet you. If you feel your skin is not at its best, that impacts the way you feel about yourself.
​
There are lots of things you can do at home to improve your situation, ensuring you have a fresh, wholefood diet and are drinking lots of good quality water is the first step. However, if the problem is deeper than just a good diet, and you need additional support, consider homeopathy.
Using Homeopathy to Heal Skin Complaints
Healing not suppression
Conventional topical treatments, whilst quick in their action, actually suppress skin issues, pushing the disease back in, only to pop up later, or as a different illness. In fact, suppressing eczema can sometimes result in asthma. Homeopathy treats the whole person, getting to the root cause, and whilst that takes longer, its aim is that the problem does not return.
Part of the elimination process
Healthy bodies include the effective excretion of toxins through stools, urine and the air we exhale. If any of these functions is inadequate the body will use the skin as an alternate route to expel toxins, and this can be the cause of, or exacerbate, skin problems. As part of your homeopathic treatment, we will address all areas of elimination.
Linked to the microbiome
Your gut health is directly connected to the health of your skin. A leaky gut, lack of diversity in the microbiome, food sensitivities and intolerances, a diet high in ultra-processed foods, or low in pre and probiotics are amongst the things that can maintain poor skin health. You need to consider whether your ongoing diet is contributing to your problem, and if so, change it. And then heal your gut. For children I would recommend parents reading the book Healthy Kids, Happy Kids by Elisa Song M.D.
Do you need to stop using your creams?
I understand that you may want to continue using your existing medication to keep on top of your condition when having a flare. We will work together to decrease your dependency on other medications over time, and potentially go through a detox to clear it from your system.

I also recommend using more natural products, where possible. My favourite is Skin Genius, created by a homeopath and herbalist, it contains non-suppressive ingredients that actually aid the healing process. And, as a client of mine I can offer a 10% discount for their products if you use the above link and add my discount code of mch10 at checkout.
