Snippet from a recent case

Atopic Dermatitis: Sherly has suffered with atopic dermatitis since she was three years old. Initially she developed a dry patch on her hand, which over the years has gradually spread. She has completed countless courses of topical steroids, with only temporary relief being afforded each time. Every time she discontinued the use of steroids, her skin condition would become worse than the previous time. When Sherly came under our care a few months ago, her hands, arms, neck, face and part of her torso were covered with red patches that would emit a sticky substance. She experienced an almost continuous deep itch, plus a burning and needle prick-like sensation. Her skin had cracks and fissures at various places, while other areas had become thickened (elephant skin). Generally, her skin had become extremely dry with a profuse shedding of flakes. Applying any of the available moisturisers- including those marketed as natural and gentle ones- would cause her stinging, and would make little difference to her skin health.

Sherly has a low stress threshold and is also vulnerable to emotional distress. She has a history of gut-related issues for which she has used various medicines over the years. Sherly experiences occasional headaches, mood swings, constipation, and outbreaks of acne. A holistic review of her condition suggested a sluggish liver resulting in a build-up of toxins. We commenced her treatment with a liver detox, followed by a prescription of bowel nosode which is excellent in treating coexisting conditions of the gut and skin. Thereafter, she was prescribed a constitutional remedy, resulting in 90% of her patches clearing up. She is almost free now from itchiness, and her skin is close to a normal and supple state. She has also experienced a huge improvement in her gut condition, quality of sleep and frequency of mood swings.

Sometimes, homeopathic cures are nothing short of brilliant!
