Skin Conditions

Eczema, psoriasis, hives, rashes, bruising, and other skin conditions.

You are not alone…

In total, skin diseases affect more than 40 million people in the United States.  Psoriasis affects 7.5 million, and 30 million have eczema.  Skin conditions can be  uncomfortable,  disfiguring, and in extreme cases  life-threatening.

Conventional medicine has its place…

Conventional medicines can be lifesaving in emergency situations and can control symptoms for many people. Unfortunately, they do not address the underlying cause of the symptoms. In addition, some medicines have serious side effects that make their use undesirable.

You do have options…

Many people do not realize there are options in addition to conventional medicine that will actually make them better. By addressing the underlying causes of skin diseases, patients experience reductions in symptoms, improvements in overall health, and reduced dependence on medications.

There is hope…

For years, the doctors at Asheville Natural Health & Homeopathy have been helping people recover from skin conditions. Call today to schedule an appointment. We use safe, effective natural therapies that are individualized for your child. Get started on the road to recovery and reclaim your health!

What do you do for patients with skin conditions?

Most skin diseases result from disordered immune systems or poorly functioning systems of waste elimination.

At Asheville Natural Health & Homeopathy, we restore proper function of the immune system and elimination systems using classical homeopathy, diet, and nutritional supplements.

Each patient’s plan is individualized – we have never found a “one size fits all” approach to be useful for the majority of people.  We spend two hours with an adult patient on the first visit to make sure we understand very thoroughly what is going on in your body. We also spend time in follow up visits to make sure that healing is progressing as well as possible.

Homeopathy:

Homeopathy is part of the name of our practice because we believe so strongly in its power to cure disease. Homeopathic care involves the thorough evaluation of each patient’s exact symptoms. A single remedy is chosen that matches the subtleties of each case of disease. The remedy given restores balance to the many systems of the body that keep us well. [Read more about homeopathy.]

Diet:

Skin disease can result from food sensitivities or from imbalances in the nutritional content of foods.  There are different therapeutic dietary approaches that we will employ depending on each patient’s symptoms, sensitivities, lifestyle, and response to previous treatments.  There is evidence in the conventional medical literature supporting therapeutic diets for skin diseases.  We put that evidence to use in our treatment plans when necessary.

Supplements:

Depending on your child’s exact condition, we may recommend one or more nutritional supplements. These will help to restore balance to the immune system and help your body eliminate waste.  We only use supplements that have strong support in the medical literature.

What about my medications?

Conventional medicines can be lifesaving in emergency situations and can control symptoms in many people. Unfortunately, they do not address the underlying cause of the symptoms. In addition, some medicines have serious side effects that make their use undesirable.

At Asheville Natural Health & Homeopathy, our programs improve your child’s health on a fundamental level. Healthy bodies don’t need medications. Our goal is always to reduce or eliminate the need for medications, and we are generally successful.

Please don’t ever discontinue a medication without the consent of your physician, as that could be dangerous or uncomfortable.

Skin diseases can take many months to heal, and may take four to twelve visits to have a substantial impact.  These visits may be bi-weekly to monthly at first, becoming less frequent as your health improves. Follow up visits will last 30 – 45 minutes, as they involve coaching and counseling as well as homeopathy.

Supplements may be required at an additional cost.  We try to keep supplements to a minimum, but our patients may spend between $25 or more per month on supplements.

Ongoing follow up care may be required to maintain results.
