Pippa, Pimples and Homeopathy

“Oh, no! Not another pimple!” Pippa was distraught and embarrassed by her appearance. Her skin had been lovely and clear until she turned 14.

Now her face was red with blemishes, and her complexion had become her all-consuming thought.

She was sure everyone was looking at her.

Pippa was on daily antibiotics and prescribed facial scrubs, and her doctor had recently recommended birth control pills.

His argument was almost reasonable because it promised to alleviate her menstrual pains as well, but taking birth control hormones didn’t sit well with her mother.

It seemed like killing a mosquito with a bazooka. Did Pippa really need daily doses of hormones to deal with acne? (more…)

Let the Skin Be Our Guide

 

When faced with skin problems, such as acne, a rash or eczema, our first thought is to make it go away as quickly as possible.

Every expectant mother looks forward to the day when she gets to hold the precious baby growing inside her. The first-time mom sees her baby, the first kiss and the first moments of motherhood are something treasured forever.
