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.
