Homeopathic Treatment For Acnes
By Abhishek Lodha
Acne and Acne scars are the most common problems found among the people of almost all ages. Although teenagers face eruptions of acne more frequently and consistently, people in their middle and old ages too, are prone to allergies and skin eruptions of all kind. Thus, age of a person hardly matters when it comes to skin eruptions, acne and acne scars.
Acne is the commonest of all kind of skin allergies and it is quite recurring, which influences people to take up natural herbal remedy to cure them.
With the advancement of medical science, a large number of conventional medicines are available in the market these days, but they again have their own side effects. In some cases, these conventional medicines worsen the problem rather than curing it. As such, more and more people are turning to the safer and natural options of homeopathy for the purpose of treating themselves.
People’s inclination towards homeopathic acne solutions is gradually gaining popularity. Homeopathic treatment, as far as acne and acne scars are concerned, has variable success rate but what makes this holistic treatment all the more popular is, there are negligible or no side effects. But, it must however be noted that homeopathic treatment is a time consuming treatment and it does not reap instant results, unlike the typical conventional type of medicines. The advantage of homeopathy treatment is that, while addressing even a minute problem like acne, it takes into consideration all the aspects of that particular problem and tries to treat the problem from the very base so as to root out the problem from its very source.
It is for this very purpose that some people seem quite confused and feel irritated when they visit a homeopath for treating their acne problems, and find the practitioner asking quite irrelevant questions which are in no way connected to acnes. But it needs to be noted that the role of an experienced homeopath is to analyze the full case history of the patient, note down and understand the details of his symptoms and then select the remedy that is the fittest to treat the particular case. The common components of homeopathic medicines are calendula, hepar sulfur, graphite, silicea, and sulphur.
It is true that homeopathy treatments do not have the benefit of the modern medical science studies; but it is also true that homeopathy medication have succeeded in treating and successfully reducing the typical symptoms of acne.
Common Homeopathy Remedies for Acne
One of the highly recommended homeopathic remedies for treating acne related problem is Silicea. It is believed to be a primary remedy for acnes and it works wonderfully on skin related disorders of all kind. If used appropriately, Silicea can be a powerful tool for assisting individuals and enabling them to root out the acne problems from the base.
Apart from Silicea, some of the other commonly used homeopathic remedies for treating acne and acne scars are Kali bromatum, Sileneum, Hepar Sulphur, Mizoreum and Staphysagria.
Are Homeopathy Medicines Safe
Homeopathy medicines have so far been claimed to be the safest; safer than the allopath or the synthetic medicines. It is true that these medicines hardly give rise to any side effects. Homeopaths claim that the medication is safe because the key ingredients are present in minimum quantities.
Very often we come across a rise in symptom or a particular disease with the intake of homeopathy medicine. But it must be remembered that this is the initial reaction of the medication and is a part of the remedial measures.
Precaution in Diet during the Treatment
In homeopathy, the medicine and its effects get absorbed directly by the tongue. As such, while under the homeopath’s treatment, people are generally advised to avoid the intake of raw onions, anything sour, coffee, camphor and others.

Herbal medication have the benefit of being completely organic, or from the earth, and often provide equivalent remedies to prescription drugs.
Alternative medicines and treatments have become part of the fabric of our society today. While many of these therapies are meant to be used as a treatment for a health
problem, some are used by people as simply a method of relaxation or reward. Chief among them is massage therapy. Massage has become incorporated into the routines of many individuals in todays society as a means of stress reduction, rather than pain relief.

Foods To Avoid For acid reflux- A Natural Cure For GERD Starting With Your Diet
As a natural health expert, I must get 10 e-mails a day asking,
“What are foods to avoid for acid reflux?” Though you should
avoid a few particular foods, you should also be eating a few
particular foods that help with acid reflux, also called heartburn.
Let me explain!
One natural cure for GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is a
simple apple. Please visit our Natural Cure for GERD website and
read about how my dad came from the brink of death (caused by
acid reflux) to completely cured by a simple apple. Though you
might think this cure is ridiculous. It might find you carrying a slice
of apple everywhere you go from now on?
Though an apple works for some of my customers, many acid reflux
sufferers discover that changing a few dieting habits can often
permanently cure their reflux problem.
Curing the Reflux Problem
Most likely, the main problem behind your reflux problem is your
damaged esophagus (tube that brings food to stomach) and your
sphincter (muscle that keeps stomach acid in your stomach). If you
consistently suffer from heartburn, acid reflux, GERD or Hiatus
Hernia you need to discover how to heal and prevent further
damage to the esophagus and sphincter.
You should also note that antacids are NOT going to cure your
reflux problem. If you look on the back on any antacid label you
will discover that you should only take them for 4-8 weeks. This is
because by taking them any longer than 6 weeks you can actually
drastically increase your chances of getting cancer in the pancreas,
stomach and esophagus.
Our Natural Cure for GERD begins with your diet and using a
holistic (whole body) approach. Here are a few tips we share with
our customers.
Cure Acid Reflux Diet
1. Avoid Spicy and Acidic Foods- You should initially avoid spicy and
acidic foods that may damaged your esophagus and sphincter.
2. Stop Smoking- The chemicals in cigarettes will cause more
irritation and cause reflux problems. It would be recommended
that you finally quit smoking. My reflux remedy report will lead you
to a natural cure to quit smoking.
3. Limit Coffee and Caffeine- A good tip would be to moderate
your consumption of coffee in the morning. The acid from coffee
can also cause damage to the esophagus. A good suggestion
would be to eat an apple which will also wake you up in the
morning.
4. Drink Water after Every Meal- This reflux remedy varies from
person to person. But in most cases, water will wash the
sphincter clean after each meal and create a tight seal to keep the
stomach acid in the stomach.
5. Two Teaspoons of Raw Honey- Take 2 teaspoons of raw honey
whenever you feel a reflux flare-up. Honey in liquid form has been
known to fight bacteria, block infection, combat INFLAMMATION,
reduce pain, and improve circulation. It also stimulates the
regrowth of tissue.
6. Chew Your Food Longer- By chewing your food longer, you can
actually decrease the chance of food scratching and irritating your
esophagus and sphincter. Make a habit to chew your foods
longer. Take 2 weeks to build this good habit.
7. Softer foods are Better- For the first couple days of treatment
you should avoid crunchy foods. Hard, crunchy foods will irritate
the esophagus.
