When You Are the Cyclops:
Treating Acne with Homeopathy
By Susy Parker Goins
It never fails, does it? You have some hot date coming up and -- wham! You wake up the morning of and there it is, as big as all Texas: the ugliest zit (is that what they’re called now?) in the middle of your face. You could do like the father in My Big Fat Greek Wedding and spray something on it, but there’s that annoying ammonia smell that squelches all serious emotions.
Or you could consider homeopathy.
Homeopathy considers acne to be a manifestation of a deeper issue. You won’t find a homeopath using topical gels, creams or ointments on acne, treating the surface. As a holistic treatment, homeopathy looks at you as a whole, inside and outside -- not simply as another bad case of pimples. A homeopath is interested in your complete history and your “totality of symptoms” as it stands that day. Then, she can better treat you -- not just your acne -- for a complete and gentle healing.
