Acne is a common ailment that can have a huge effect on our self-confidence and sometimes leads to anxiety and depression. Conventional medicine offers the same options it had 25 years ago, which include antibiotics for teenage boys and men, and either antibiotics or the pill for teenage girls and women. The pill has huge implications on our general health, and antibiotics can have a drying effect on the skin as well as ruining gut health. They are also not long-term solutions. Many people find that while the pill or antibiotics suppresses the symptoms of acne while they are taking the drugs, once they stop, the symptoms simply return. It is not actually curing the problem. 

​

Homeopathy offers an effective and natural way of healing acne whilst also respecting and restoring our broader health. I will ask you or your child all sorts of questions about the acne but also about you as a person. This will help me find a remedy or two that will best match you as a person. 

​

I will ask questions such as what, if anything, makes the acne better or worse, when it first started and how it has changed, but also what else is going on in your life. I will ask what you like and dislike and what other symptoms (on a physical, mental and emotional level) you are experiencing at the moment.

 

Remember, homeopathy doesn’t treat diseases or symptoms, it treats you the person with your own set of individual symptoms. 

​

As an example, you could take 20 people with acne and each of these 20 people could need a different homeopathic remedy that best matches them as a person, to heal their acne and restore them to optimum health.
