Acne and its homeopathic treatment

ACNE and its Homeopathic Treatment

The pimpled face of adolescence is so common that it could almost be thought of as normal, four out of five teenagers suffer from acne to some degree, but the majority grows out of, in the meantime, there are preventive measures and treatment which can ease the problem. The mixture of blackheads. Whiteheads and pink or reddish spots caused by Acne Vulgar is occurs mostly on the face, the back of the neck, found in the armpits and on the buttocks, too.

CAUSES.

Acne affects young people of both sexes but tends to be more common in boys. It starts in adolescence because this is when there is great increase in the production of hormones from the sex. Organs and from the adrenal glands. These hormones are chemical messengers. Carried by the blood and transform a child into a sexually mature adult. Under their influence, and posticullarly that of the androgeus, or “Masculimzing” hormones, the oil-releasing sebaceous glands in the skin, which normally produce just enough oil or sebum to keep the skin healthily suppley, become overactive. They release too much sebum, causing a condition called “seborrhea”. The female hormones particularly estrogen, have the reverse effect, which explains-at least in part-why girls are generally less prone to acne than boy’s.

SYMTOMS

Blackheads, accompanied the pink or reddish inflammation which they cause, are the hallmark of acne. It was once thought that the bacteria that naturally thrive on sebum, particularly two called staphylococcus albus and bacillus acnes, were the underlying cause of the acne, but they are now know to be the cause of the inflammation, not the ace itself. In response to the presence of bacteria, which multiply in the blackhead, the blood vessels expend to bring more infection-fighting cells to the site this is the inflammatory reaction. As a secondary effect of ace, the bacterial infection may lead to the development of pimples, which are spots filled with dead white cells and bacteria, or pus. This infection usually only becomes severs, involving the formation of larger boils or abscesses, if the deeper skin tissues become bruised and damaged as a

result of squeezing the blackheads to release the “Core” of sebum plugged usually clears up with in about a week, but if secondary infection sets in it may take a month or more.

How to Fight Your Acne.

Avoid:

• Greasy hair oils or cosmetics.
• Leaving makeup on overnight or leave it off completely.
• Applying creams to dirty skin so that bacteria are pushed into the pores.
• Eating any foods that seem to cause spots.

Try To:

• Wash affected areas several times a day with medicated soap and hot water.
• Wash hair often, wear it off the face and reasonably short.
• Keep combs, brushes and face flannels clean and grease free.
• Get as much sunshine as you possibly can.

HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT CURE & MEDICINE

SULPHUR: Is perhaps the remedy most often indicated in this affection, especially if chronic. The skin is rough and hard and the Acne is associated with comedones and constipation; great aggravation from water is the characteristic leading to sulphur in skin affections. The acne punctata is the variety corresponding most nearly to sulphur iodide.

SANGOINARIA: Is another useful remedy in Acne, especially in women with scanty menses and irregular circulation of blood. Other remedies for acne dependent on sexual disturbance of women are Calcarea Carbonica and Aurum Muriatium Natrum.

KALI BROMATUM: Produces acne on the face, neck and shoulders. We frequently find acne in epileptics who have been maltreated by bromides. The remedy is especially adapted to the acne simplex and the acne indurate, especially in hyperacsthetic hervous females, and the late Dr. Martin discharge loudly praised. Since Kali Bromatum has been found a useful remedy in sexual excesses it will be specially a remedy in acne due to that cause. Dr. J.H.Clark sys “I know of on remedy of such universal usefulness in cases of simple acne as Kali Bromatum 30 x And the late Dr.A.M.Cushing recommended Arsenicum Bromatum 4x as very efficacious Thuja is one of our best remedies for acne facial is. Calcarea Picrata is also a useful remedy for Acne; clinically it has been found one of the food remedies. Calcarea Sulphurica is indicated where the pimples suppurate.

ANTIMONIUM CRUDUM: Small red pimples on face, acne in drunkards with gastric derangements, thirst-coated tongue, Antimonium Tairtaricum obstinate cases, with tendency to postulation, are curable with this remedy. Berberis Aquifolium is useful where the skin rough and the acne persistent.

Natrum Muriaticum: Acts especially on the sebaceous glands and is a very helpful remedy in acne. In this affection attention must be directed especially to the patient’s type, temperament and tendencies and the general symptoms are for more important than the local ones.
