Understanding Eczema and Exploring Homeopathic Treatment Options
🧴 What is
Eczema?
Eczema (also
known as atopic dermatitis) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition
characterized by:
- Dry, itchy skin
- Redness and swelling
- Crusting, oozing, or scaling
- Possible skin thickening (from scratching)
It can affect people of all ages and often has
flare-ups triggered by allergens, irritants, stress, or changes in weather.
⚖️ Causes and
Triggers
Eczema is believed to be a result of:
- An overactive immune response
- Genetic factors (often runs in families with asthma, allergies, or
hay fever)
- Skin barrier dysfunction (loss of moisture and increased irritant
penetration)
Common triggers:
- Harsh soaps or detergents
- Synthetic fabrics
- Heat/sweating
- Food allergens (e.g., dairy, gluten, eggs)
- Emotional stress

Homeopathic Management of Eczema
Homeopathy treats eczema not just as a skin
condition but as a systemic imbalance, aiming to treat the root cause.
Remedies are selected based on the individual's constitution, mental/emotional
state, and specific symptoms.
