Soap nuts, skin and homeopathy.
Our skin is the face we show the world isn’t it? By using soap nuts we can start to control the amount of chemicals our skin is exposed to all day every day. Some of us might want to think about a more natural source of make-up too. More on that another day but if you’re interested then a visit to Janey Lee Grace’s Imperfectly Natural forum will yield plenty of information for you!
When things aren’t quite right in the body then symptoms are often expressed through or on the skin and this does tend to lend itself to a holistic approach in treatment.

Skin and Homeopathy
The skin is the largest human organ of elimination and it is our interface with the world as well. Skin complaints unlike other ailments are immediately visible to those around you particularly if they are on the hands or face which can often be prime sites for their eruption. The skin will seek to push out any toxins in the body and this is acutely obvious with teenage acne and as well with food and other reactions in some individuals.
Sometimes though there can appear to be no real reason for a skin complaint and if after trying the usual avenues of looking at washing detergents ,skin care regimes,diet and the fibres in the clothes you are wearing there is still no change there is frequently a sense of despair.
Homeopathy can help often where other treatments fail or merely give partial relief. A major factor in skin ailments is often stress or emotional upset which can trigger a low level seemingly manageable condition to the point of major aggravation. The Homeopath will seek to identify the things that worsen and ease the condition and take an individual approach asking about effects ranging from food to family to weather and the particular time of day or night that the skin is at its best or worst. It is an individualised approach that the Homeopath takes to choose from a range of suitable remedies and match them up to get what is the most appropriate for the case.
One particular case which I will mention is that of a mum of three small children who had the most awful eczema on her hands to the extent that doing even the most basic of things around the house and for her children was virtually impossible.The eczema was on her palms and causing the skin to tighten. When she approached me it was as a last resort and she was not finding life easy at all.Her telephone consultation with me revealed that the problem with her hands had come on after a family row where she had experienced lots of grief and upset. I explained to her that the hands can often be a prime site for “emotional release” as the hands are very connected in terms of energy flow to the heart which is where we feel emotional hurt and grief. It is also the hands with which we connect with others and can be affectionate ie holding hands. I found myself in fact looking at remedies more associated with the heart than with the skin and it was with a “heart remedy” that this lady found relief from the painful condition. She now enjoys lots of knitting and says “I couldn’t move my hands never mind do stuff I would never have been able to knit before having treatment.”Fiona Dilston is a homeopath and counsellor based in Scotland she offers homeopathic treatment by phone and internet .
