Stressed? It shows.

New studies have confirmed with homeopathic practitioners have said all along – one of the main causes of acne is stress. This is no small matter, as acne is said to affect nearly 90 percent of adolescents and teens, and up to 50 percent of adults.

Dermatologists are being urged to consider their patients’ lifestyles – and the stress they are facing – when considering how to treat this exceptionally common condition. In fact, it appears a new field is developing as a result of these findings. “Psychodermatogy” is a field that addresses the impact of an individual's emotion as it relates to the skin.

The mind and skin are connected on many different levels. Experts say many nerve endings are connected to the skin, which wraps around the organs, allowing the emotions that are playing out neurologically to be expressed through the skin, just as stress can be expressed through gastrointestinal symptoms, increased anxiety or hypertension.

Take acne, for example. When you are tense, your body releases stress hormones including cortisol, which may increase the skin's oil production, making you prone to pimples.

Does your skin reflect your stress?

Homeopathy has long considered acne to be a symptom of a deeper issue. It does not, therefore, concentrate on treating just the skin surface using topical gels, creams or ointments.

Homeopathic acne treatments attempt to stimulate the body’s own natural healing capacity with Homeopathic remedies that act as a trigger for the body’s own healing forces.
