Treatment of the disease only with homeopathy or only as supportive therapy? | Homeopathy for itching

Treatment of the disease only with homeopathy or only as supportive therapy?

The treatment of itching depends on its severity and the underlying cause. If the itching is mild or moderate and occurs only occasionally, treatment with homeopathic drugs is a possible option. If there is no improvement within a few days, the treatment should be changed to another therapy or supplemented accordingly. In case of long-term or severe itching, a medical treatment is recommended. Homeopathics can be used as a supportive treatment after consultation.

When do I have to go to the doctor?

It is not always necessary to consult a doctor if itching occurs. In many cases it is harmless and limited in time, so it often disappears by itself after a while. However, if this does not happen despite independent treatment or if the itching even gets worse, a visit to a doctor is recommended. It is important that in such cases possible diseases are clarified as triggers. Indications of this can be, for example, chronic fatigue in the case of liver disease or problems urinating in the case of kidney damage.

Other alternative forms of therapy

As alternative forms of therapy for itching, numerous medicinal herbs, such as oak, come into question. It has both an anti-inflammatory and cleansing effect on the skin. The herb Ehrenpreis can also be used because it has a calming effect on the skin and at the same time promotes the expulsion of harmful substances.

Chamomile is also used to treat itching. The plant has an inhibiting effect on inflammatory processes and at the same time reduces itching and the pain associated with it. Acupuncture can also be used as an alternative therapeutic method.

Here the focus is on the connection between the skin and the lungs, as both organs are concerned with breathing for the body. In the context of acupuncture for itching, points for the energy flows in the lungs are treated accordingly. In some cases, the needles are also inserted into the area of itchy or painful skin. The blood circulation and thus the inflammation can thus be reduced.
