Over the centuries while human civilization has progressed immensely and so has science. Technological developments and scientific inventions have been instrumental in changing the face of human civilization. Medical science too has ventured far and wide and has seen various magnanimous inventions and discoveries in the past centuries. The study of medicine has also been sub divided into various sections and one significant branch in the study of medical science is homeopathy. Homeopathy refers to that branch of medical science which concentrates on the natural healing power of the body and therefore stresses cure with placing more importance on the body's own immunity system. Over the years homeopathic treatment has emerged as a preferred option among various sections of the population because it provides one with the option of healing naturally without having to consume allopathic medicines and antibiotics having strong effects. In case of acne treatment, homeopathy is found to be very effective and for this purpose it is essential that the dermatologist be aware of the details regarding the patient's medical history prior to treatment. This is deeply related to the cause of acne formations on the skin.
The disparity in the functioning of the sebaceous glands and the duct system is directly responsible for the formation of reddish swellings on the surface of the skin leaving behind ugly blemishes on the skin. Moreover, stress and hormonal imbalances are also responsible for acne formations. Therefore, in order to analyze the causes behind acne formation and therefore provide adequate and suitable medication, it is extremely important for the dermatologist to know thoroughly about the patient's lifestyle, eating and sleeping habits, temperaments etc. This is one of the important modes of homeopathic treatment of acne as here the causes of acne formation are most importantly responsible for ensuring the kind of medication to be given rather than the condition of the inflammation on the skin. Homeopathy makes use of mostly non-chemical and natural products and some of the prominent acne treatment ingredients commence with the usage of cold packs or anti bacteria soaps to clean the skin. This is usually followed by using herbal components like calcerea carbonica and antimonium tartaricum upon the skin. It has been revealed through extensive research that these ingredients used prevalently in case of homeopathic acne treatments are extremely effective in regulating hormone levels as hormonal imbalances facilitate the growth of acne on the skin.
