Acne heal with the help of homeopathy

Acne cure: The homeopathic treatment in puberty

11.03.2011

Many know it: Unpleasant blackheads, pustules or pimples, which are not only painful, but also an aesthetic problem. If such skin complaints occur more often, one speaks of acne - the most common skin disease at all. According to an Infratest survey, over 90 percent of adolescents suffer from it during puberty; 15 percent so heavy that a medical treatment is needed. But even adults are affected, not infrequently acne occurs up to the age of 40 on. Dr. Ulf Riker is a physician for internal medicine, homeopathy and natural remedies from Munich, he explains in the spring issue of the journal Homeopathy of the German Central Association of Homeopathic Doctors (DZVhÄ), „that acne can in principle be treated with homeopathy alone and can also heal.“ But one difficulty could be this, „Although patients feel very uncomfortable in their skin, they are difficult to describe the symptoms. This is a challenge for every homeopathic remedy“, Riker says in the DZVhÄ interview.

With this issue starts the series The most important homeopathic remedies. It starts with Calendula officinalis - the marigold. In homeopathy, around 4,000 different starting substances are used to produce homeopathic remedies. They are usually of plant, animal or mineral origin and develop different healing effects. As homeopathic remedies, the active ingredients are used according to the principle of similars: the patient only helps the patient, which in a healthy person can trigger the symptoms in which the patient suffers. A single drug can be quite effective in different diseases. In over two centuries of use, some medicines have been found to be particularly useful. This includes calendula. The quarterly journal is available free of charge in the member practices of the DZVhÄ and as a pharmacy issue in many pharmacies. (Pm)
