Homeopathy and Aromatherapy Precautions
As with conventional drugs, use precautions when dealing with homeopathic remedies. This is not to say they are not effect. They are, however some homeopathy and aromatherapy precautions you should keep in mind to get even better results. Depending on the illness, the homeopathy and aromatherapy precautions are likely different in every case. And that is because each person is a whole body "system" unto themselves, and what works for one person, will not always work for another.
In general if you are considering, or about to submit to alternative healing, here are some of the homeopathy and aromatherapy precautions you may want to keep in mind. For instance avoid taking anything with mint in it, and steer clear of mentholated products as well. You might not think about this, but it's also a good idea to not use scented soaps, essential oils of a certain nature, strong perfumes etc. Bottom line is if you are not sure about what to take, then don't take it. Always ask the practitioner you are seeing for what homeopathy and aromatherapy precautions they would recommend.
Homeopathy and aromatherapy precautions are given to you so you can make sure to avoid situations that would adversely affect the potency of the homeopathic treatment. This is why it is always in your own best interests to ask what precautions there are so you can avoid them. There is no sense in possibly negating your treatments by inadvertently doing something that would cancel out the effectiveness of the treatments.
If you are using homeopathic remedies, it is best to use high potency remedies, but remember more does not mean better. Always consult with the practitioner before taking these remedies. Homeopathy and aromatherapy precautions are given to you so you will make informed choices about how to take the recommended products.
One thing you will be told when taking homeopathic remedies is that you should avoid using your hands. Dispense onto a piece of paper or into the cap of the bottle instead. This reduces the chances of contamination. As with conventional drugs, stop treatment when the symptoms clear up. However, keep these specific homeopathy and aromatherapy precautions in mind. In the case of homeopathic remedies, you MUST stop when the symptoms are cleared up otherwise you run the risk of producing a reoccurrence of the illness.
If you happen to be interested in trying aromatherapy, always consult the practitioner about homeopathy and aromatherapy precautions for the simple reason that you need to be very careful about what oils are taken internally. In addition there are many oils that are highly toxic and need to be used under the supervision of a certified professional in the aromatherapy field.

Homeopathy Acne
ACNE
Acne, perhaps the most common health condition, can affect people for their entire life. A skin disorder, it affects eight out of every ten teenagers. Acne happens when the sebaceous glands or oil secreting glands in the skin of the face, chest and back become over sensitive to normal levels of androgen. Adults can also experience acne. Though it often clears up after several years, even without treatment, it may leave scars. Various types of acne are: Pimples (blackheads, whiteheads); Papules, Pustules, Nodules and Cysts.
Acne may occur for many reasons.
• Poor hygiene may cause dirt and grease to accumulate and block skin pores.
• Hormonal changes can cause teenagers and young adults to be more prone to acne.
• Dandruff can fall on the face and back and cause acne.
• Hair follicles may not get rid of dead cells fast enough and clog the pores.
• The sebaceous gland may produce too much, providing a breeding ground for bacteria and causing acne.
• Stress can affect hormone levels and account for some adult acne.
• Occupational exposure to chemicals, grease, oil and toxins.
Often embarrassed by their appearance, patients with acne may have a lower self esteem and experience depression and anxiety. Consumption of excessive oily foods, sweets, chocolate, improper diet and food habits, over exposure to the sun, smoking, lack of exercise, constipation, drugs, alcohol, cosmetics and insufficient rest may all aggravate the condition.
HOMEOPATHY ACNE
Patients suffering from acne are offered a natural, effective remedy through homeopathy acne remedies. They will notice a drying up of the affected areas and a reduction in the number of existing acne. The symptoms of pain, burning and itching, are reduced and often disappear after using homeopathy acne remedies. Many times the skin texture will also improve.
The homeopathy acne remedy is approached in a different way than conventional medicines. It is treated holistically from within the body, and not superficially, by using ointments and creams since the outer skin eruption is a reflection of the internal disorder of the body. The symptoms are a direct manifestation of the body’s attempt to heal itself and the homeopathy acne remedy acts as a trigger to stimulate the body’s own healing forces.
When taking a homeopathy acne remedy, the following procedures are recommended to enhance the results:
• Avoid sugar, white flour products, soft drinks, refined foods, chocolate, cheese, meat, butter and iodized salt.
• Avoid wearing heavy makeup which may clog pores and cause acne.
• Avoid picking at the affected areas. This increases the chance of spreading bacteria and scarring.
• Exercise on a regular basis to manage your stress. Regular exercise is important for overall health and can flush impurities from the skin through perspiration.
• Minimize oiliness with an astringent, such as witch hazel. Apply to a cotton ball and gently wipe skin.
• Try supplements and herbs that support healthy skin.
