Skin quality is tremendously important as it affects mental health, quality of life, self-esteem, and daily interpersonal interaction. It is very important to keep up high skin standards or you may have to choose from a variety of skin treatment choices available these days. The major treatment approaches for maintaining skin health are Homeopathy and conventional skin treatments.
Understanding Skin Problems and Their Impact
The impact of skin complaints is very marked as described in a 2014 article from Indian Journal of Dermatology, the prevalence of Psoriasis, Vitiligo and Dermatitis is estimated to be around 25 %. Psoriasis has affected around 125 millions people worldwide as per a 2021 study. According to a 2015 study from Indian Journal of Dermatology, around 85 % adolescents and young adults are affected by Acne. All these different skin problems disturb the quality of life of an individual to a great extent. Skin problems that are most prevalent are managed well with homeopathy as well as conventional medicine, but which gives sustainable and long-lasting results is the key to understanding better skin treatment goals.
When you opt for conventional treatments for skin problems especially with topical application of steroids and other such ointments that only relieves the symptom for the time being and does not address the root of the skin problem. It merely suppresses the body’s expression of disease which might be deeper seated then one might think it is. In such cases, short-term relief is achieved through such suppressive applications that will lead to recurrence of the skin manifestation.
Moreover, nutrition also plays a significant role in obtaining a healthier skin. Nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fat rich foods are excellent for skin health. Certain lifestyle changes like no smoking, no alcohol, regular exercise and maintaining a healthy, nutritious diet will work wonders for your skin. Several environmental influences like household irritants, sun exposure, changes in weather, common chemicals, and sub-standard skin care products may harm your skin in various ways.
Homeopathy: A Holistic Approach to Skin Health
According to the Homeopathy Research Institute, the worldwide use of homeopathy amounts to over 200 million on a regular basis. In India, around 100 million people depend on homeopathy as a main line of treatment for various ailments. A 2009 study on Homeopathy and its treatment for psoriasis suggests a marked improvement in symptoms as also seen in another 2021 study on atopic dermatitis showing similar signs of relief with the help of homeopathic treatment.
Homeopathic medicines used for several skin complaints are completely natural, safe, and free from side effects. Homeopathy treatment aims to remove the deep-seated root cause of the problem and not just the symptoms exhibited on the surface for long-term relief of patients. Homeopathy is a system of medicine that not only gives importance to physical symptoms but also considers symptoms of the mind, thus, adopting a holistic approach to the patient’s wellbeing.
Instead of just providing symptomatic relief that happens with the use of conventional medicines, homeopathic treatment enhances immunity and impacts in the following ways:
- It deals with the root cause and not just symptoms.
- It naturally strengthens immunity.
- It promotes the natural defenses of the body against disease-producing organisms.
- It can be useful in dual aspects- preventive and curative.
- It awards long-lasting treatment outcomes.
- It decreases the recurrence of infections.
Traditional Skin Treatments: Pros and Cons
Traditional or conventional skin treatments like topical steroid creams, antibiotic ointments, etc. are easy to use and if used in low doses have a relatively safe approach on delicate skin. The fore-mentioned suppressive effect on use of such local application on the skin is clearly an obstacle in achieving complete patient recovery.
According to a 2016 article from the Indian Journal of Dermatology, the frequent use of steroid creams causes side effects in as many as 90% of patients and various additional skin problems like uneven skin tone, facial dermatitis, rosacea-like features (reddish eruptions), photosensitivity, and hirsutism (excessive unwanted hair). There is a recently observed phenomenon where the misuse or overuse of topical corticosteroids on the face results in facial skin damage that is referred to as Topical steroid Damaged/ Dependent face (TSDF). Even milder doses over a long period of time can cause steroid dependence and can result in withdrawal problems in steroid users post cessation of intake and even flare ups.
A 2021 study from the Indian Journal of Dermatology, portrays the side effects of local application of anti-bacterial creams which include risk of bacterial resistance, concern for systemic absorption, toxicity, and impaired wound healing. There are even chances of several skin manifestations like itching, burning, redness, scaling, contact dermatitis, etc. occurring due to significant exposure to it. Many studies point to the adverse effects of conventional approaches that range from mild to severe depending upon the patient’s genetics, immunity, and other such bodily dispositions.
On the other hand, Homeopathy not only treats well, but also maintains the state of order in the patient in terms of inner as well as outward well-being, so the patient’s overall health is established.
