Pimples, or acne, is a woman’s most dreaded beauty defect — an insult to their self-esteem, so to speak. No woman would want “pimply” spots to play the “devil” with their aspirations. In simple terms, acne is the inflammation of the sebaceous glands — glands in the skin that secrete sebum, an oily substance, to lubricate the skin — and their hair follicles. It is represented by an outbreak of hard-pointed, or isolated, elevations of skin with red spots. It can affect anyone, but it primarily occurs in teenage girls and young women.
There are a variety of factors that cause acne — viz., puberty, hormonal imbalance, personal hygiene, dietary faults, stress, certain medications, chemical cosmetics, and also lifestyle. Acne isn’t an illness; it is a cosmetic glitch. It is unglamorous. Yet, it can cause ripple effects. Long-standing acne can lead to certain psychological symptoms such as low self-esteem, depression, stress, social withdrawal, apart from scars.
Homeopathy believes that acne is a defence process. It’s the body’s response to fighting the intruder (e.g., bacteria). Acne, homeopathy also suggests, heals best when it is removed from the level beneath the skin and out of the body. When one’s face, for example, is affected by acne, it suggests that the body has not come to terms with the eruption through its natural healing processes. Our basic instinct is to dab a powerful ointment on the spot of trouble. When we do this, we are only interfering with the body’s healing patterns. This isn’t all. We are also pushing the “surface problem” inwards.
Homeopathy believes that there’s a superior method — the use of natural medicines made from substances that actually cause symptoms in large doses, but in “micro-doses” encourage the body’s own systems to get rid of them — in this case, acne. Homeopathy uses internal medicines to treat “acne-generated” external revolts. Studies suggest that individualised homeopathic treatment — based on the patient’s unique pattern of symptoms — can stimulate a good response in skin conditions, such as acne. Useful homeopathic remedies for acne are Berberis Aquifolium, Hepar Suphuricum, Pulsatilla, Silicea, Sulphur etc., Nevertheless, seeking the advice of a professional homeopath is most appropriate to dealing with the acne anguish.

i need solve my skin acne scar problem. will u solve my problem?
Great articles that give me the information.
I m taking Dr. Bhatra’s treatment for pimples last 6 months but no use……………….
I have tried dr batra’s acne remedy in dubai for 1year, the treatment was very expensive with zero results, however i did not give up on homeopathy instead went to my home country in pakistan and went to Dr Hamid in lahore, very famous doctor, who provided me with the remedy which provided relief to my acne, I have been suffering from acne for the past 20 years, I am 30 years old and now after changing my diet to include more vegetables and fruits I experience only premenstrual acne, which is very severe nodular type, however after starting homeopathic medicine since last month, I didn’t have any major acne breakout. I am a true believer in a holistic and homeopathic approach to curing acne, I regret spending a lot of time and money on acne products, supplements, and blood work done on me. I would strongly recommend anyone who suffers from acne to give homeopathy treatment a try.
I have taken bioplasgen no 20 with a tincture containing berberis aquifolium Q, celmetis Q, echinacea angust, pulsatilla, graphites, silica, sulfur, viola tricolour. Good luck!!
Wonderful points altogether, you just won a brand new reader. What might you recommend in regards to your post that you simply made a few days in the past? Any sure?
Okay, first off, NEVER use olive oil on an acne prone face. That will make it worse. Second, use lemon juice twice a day, put it on a cottonball and rub it on your face. I just found out about this, my face was teirbrle broke out and I used the lemon juice for three days and my face is crystal clear. Third, if you wanna make a pimple less noticable instantly, this is gonna sound gross, but it works, use hemmroid ointment. Dab a bit on the pimple, the ingredients reduce the redness and swelling making the pimple less noticable. I advise buying a new tube just for your face. Both of these are completely safe and I swear on my life will work.
