Should you Try Acne Homeopathic Remedies?

Are you reluctant to try acne homeopathic remedies because you have heard it said that homeopathy is a scam and a hoax?

It is true that homeopathy has not yet been scientifically proven. Most studies conducted thus far suggest that the cures affected by homeopathy are attributable to the placebo effect.

Homeopathic practitioners themselves say they do not understand precisely how homeopathy works.  However, research in the fields of quantum physics and molecular biology are beginning to shed light on the mind-body connection, which is the vehicle behind most approaches to wholistic medicine.

So given the above information, should you try treating your acne with homeopathic remedies?

In my view, why not?  At this point, western medicine does not have a permanent cure for acne. Your dermatologist will prescribe a number of over-the-counter or prescription medicines that may or may not work and which are not inexpensive. If they do work, they are likely to be temporary. They are likely to cause side effects. And, in worse case situations, the only solution may be surgical intervention, such as dermabrasion or laser treatments.

How consider homeopathy. The remedy may or may not work. It is likely to have a similar financial cost to the medications and procedures used by western medicine. Side effects are unlikely. And, if the remedy works, the treatment is more likely to be permanent, given that wholistic medicine treats the cause, rather than the symptom.

When you look at is that way -- acne homiopathic remedies suddenly start to make as much sense as the traditional treatment approach, don't they?

Scoffers will be quick to tell you that homeopathy cures are simply a placebo effect.  In other words, the healing occurs simply because you believe it will and you expect it to.  And what would the problem be with that?  I fail to see the drawback. LOL

Acne homeopathic remedies are controversial.  There are those who swear by this approach to ridding the face or body or undesirable pimples, whiteheads, blackheads and pustules that comprise the skin condition known as acne.

Others scoff and say that homeopathy is a scam and a hoax and is nothing more than the placebo effect.

What to believe?

Let's start by thinking about homeopathy and what it is. Homeopathy is an alternative,.wholistic approach to healing the body's various systems. Like all wholistic healing methods, it regards disease or "unwellness" as an indication that something is amiss in one or more of the body's symptoms.

This differs from western medicine in that western medicine is more likey to treat the symptom.  Therefore, in the case of acne, western medicine is likely to treat with salves, ointments, anti-inflammatories and antibiotics if there is infection. In severe cases, surgical procedures such as laser treatments may be used.

Wholistic medicine would view the acne symptoms as an indication that something is amiss in the body symptoms and would use treatments designed to correct the systemic imbalance.

Homeopathic medicine, as mentioned earlier, is a branch of wholistic medicine.  Homeopathic practitioners use tablets or other substances that are ingested by the individual. These tablets contain extremely diluted substances that they say activates the body's natural healing abilities.  Homeopathy works on the principle that "like cures like".  Homeopathic practitioners liken this substance to a vaccine that introduces a tiny amount of bacteria in the body, which in turn protect us against similar bacteria attempting to invade the body.

Why homeopathy works, if it does, has not been scientifically proven. However, recent developments in quantum physics are beginning to shed light on the issue.

This brings us back to the question: should you use acne homeopathic remedies to cure your acne?

My thoughts are why not?  You have nothing to lose except the cash you pay for the remedies.  You could easily spend more on over the counter pharmaceuticals that may or may not work, may have side effects and are likely to be a temporary cure.

If acne homeopathic remedies work, then the cure is apt to be long lasting or permanent, given that they have addressed the root of the problem rather than the symptoms.

And if the cure is a placebo effect, as some suggest, does it really matter?  The goal here is to clear your face of acne spots and if its a placebo effect that does this, so what?  Either way, you end up getting what you want. A clear face with no acne pimples.
