Top 4 Homeopathic Remedies for Acne

Homeopathy is an old proto-medical approach to the treatment of disease. The basic principle of homeopathy is: if a substance can cause illness in a healthy person, the same substance is capable of treating an ill person if administered properly.

There are various homeopathic remedies for acne marked for they ability to treat it. These remedies can often be found at your local health store or drug store. In order for them to work, it is important that the remedy mach your specific symptoms. The external eruption that we see is sign of the internal disorder of the body. Therefore acne should not be treated by applying creams and ointments on skin surface only. Homeopathic system doesn't attempt to treat the symptoms, but the underlying cause of the symptoms. Instead, this skin disorder should be treated holistically. Homeopathic system attempts to stimulate the body's own natural healing capacity with Homeopathic remedies acting as a trigger for the body's own healing forces.

1. Antimonium tartaricum: is primary used for symptoms like large pustules that are tender and painful and when bluish-red marks remains on the skin after the infection has passed. Often suited for people with inflammatory acne.

2. Calcarea carbonica: is designed to increase the resistance of the skin. Can be taken if pimples and skin eruptions are frequent and also with other painful skin conditions. People who need this remedy are often very anxious when overworked, and have cravings for sweets and eggs.

3. Hepar sulphuris calcareum: is best suited when the skin is easily infected, doesn't heal fast and boils are present. If your acne are painful and slow in healing and eventually offensive-smelling pus forms, this may very likely be suited as your remedy.

4. Silicea: is optimal if your acne gets formed deep below the skin. The remedy is recommended if you have been suffering from acne for years, since the problem tend to sink deeper in the skin over time. This kind of an infection will cause a lot of sweating during the night.

If your acne itches a lot and often is reddish sulfur may be the treatment for you. The downside with sulphur is that it does dry out the surface of the skin and make you peel. This should generally be your last resort, but it does work.
