The remedy Petroleum is a brilliant for eczema. The kind of eczema that it heals is as dry as can be, so dry that deep and painful cracks form. The skin can be very rough, hard and thick and without homeopathic treatment, heals extremely slowly. The key areas that tend to be affected with this remedy are the face, folds, ears, and hands with splitting skin at the tips. The eczema can be very severe and distressing.
The itch is often worse at night and in the winter and unlike most eczema, the Petroleum eczema can be alleviated by warmth. The itch can heighten to a kind of burning feeling and the sufferer is driven to scratch the affected areas until they are raw.
Homeopathy is safe for use by all - children, the elderly and pregnant women included. Its natural approach brings healing without side effects. Please feel free to contact me for further information.
