Homeopathy
I strongly recommend homeopathy - Lindsay, Bristol, UK
I strongly recommend that people try out homeopathy. I know that everyone reacts differently to different things, and that my improvement may not necessarily mean it will benefit somebody else. However, there is a huge selection of remedies for this reason.
My eczema is not cured, I don't know if it ever will be, I still have it (partly) on my face, my neck, stomach, back and arms and bits on my legs, but I also know that my treatment hasn't come to an end.
I have found over the past few months of taking homeopathy that my skin has improved hugely on my face and chest. This is what it said is meant to happen, because the remedy flushes the illness from your system and it moves down your body. It involves treating "like for like," like a vaccination, so you may also experience that it becomes worse for a while at the beginning. This is said to be good because it indicates that you are reacting to the remedy. You may also have to try out a few remedies before you found the "right" one.
I am by no means preaching here, just wanting to share with everyone that I cannot believe how much better my skin feels. Sometimes I just sit and feel the skin on my face for ages because I haven't had "normal" skin for so long and it feels amazing not having to moisturise constantly or wanting to cry with frustration every minute.
I don't know how homeopathy works ... to be honest I am still critical of it, but I believe it is good to try everything that you can before giving in to medical treatments that can be dangerous. I was adamant that I didn't want to take Cyclosporin, an immunosuppressant which was prescribed to me. This way I feel so much better about it being something natural, and something that finally appears to be helping me when I had almost lost hope. (March 2007) Contact Lindsay
Homeopathy helped my eczema - Adrianna, London, UK
I too had exhausted modern medicine with my own eczema. I had it all over my face and arms, incredibly itching and weeping, and my emotions were at an all time low. I was absolutely desperate and would have tried anything. I went to a homeopath and it started to ease immediately. It took some time to get to the root of the problem, and in my case it was a mixture of stress and food allergies. I am now eczema free and was so pleased with the treatment, I went on to study and become a homeopath. It does work and I highly recommend you try it. (April 03)
Homeopathy worked for my daughter - Nabila, UK
I just wanted to share our knowledge with you. My daughter Jasmine, has had eczema since she was 18 months old (she's now 4). We have tried wet wraps, zinc paste bandages, twice daily baths, olive oil, porridge oats a variety of creams and products and have had no joy. A friend of ours recommended we visit the Royal Homeopathic Hospital in London, where we have been going since last year. We have certainly seen an improvement. I remember when Jasmine had it so bad, I would have to peel her socks off for her baths as they would get stuck to her wet, weeping legs. She's still not 100 percent, but much better, and are informed of what the treatments are, (we went to a homeopath locally that wouldn't disclose what she was giving to anyone).We have been seeing a lady called Dr Maryisa Krateminos. Please pass this is on to anyone that may find this info useful. (February 03)
