The skin is the largest organ in the human body, which measures about 2 square metres approximately 22 square feet. Skin is not just the longest organ alone in our body, but also has numerous amazing roles which most of us don’t realise actually. It not only protects our body from chemical, harmful radiations and sun. It also acts as a major storage area of energy, synthesizes vitamin D and the best indicator of any disorder in your digestive and immune system. But most of us don’t identify the warning signs that our skin shows from the initial stage unless it becomes more severe and start to show drastic skin changes or allergies.

Homeopathy is the system of medicine, which not only identifies the problem of skin from the root level, but also understands the nature of skin of each individual and treats the skin allergies without causing any harmful side effects. As allergies are not common for everybody it is very much necessary to identify the skin nature of every individual and the type of allergen by which the person is affected. Thus, homeopathy way of treating is best for skin allergies.

There is a common myth that homoeopathic medicines first aggravates the symptoms and then relieves. This is not true, infact there is a prolonged suppression of symptoms when patients takes multiple allopathic medicines and apply local ointments to get relief of symptoms. There is a resurfacing of those symptoms when local application is stopped and a correct homoeopathic medicine is prescribed. This is a favourable sign that the prescribed homoeopathic medicine is correct and the patient will be cured. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Homeopath.
