These days, skin tags, warts, freckles, mole, naevi have become quite more common just like other systemic diseases. People are worried definitely about the looks, presentation etc.
What we ignore is the co-relation between the rise in systemic disorders to what is reflecting on your skin. Isn’t it obvious that our lifestyle is manifesting itself in our health status?
Our fooding habits leading to rise in gut health & Metabolic disorders.
Our physical activity leading to Cardiac issues as well as our tampered bone health.
Actually all of it goes hand in hand, no particular thing alone affects one system, our body is one and all systems interconnected, so are our actions -eating habit, physical activity, stress and sleep altogether define and refine our health.
Most of the time patient come to us asking the reason for skin tags, warts and naevi, unfortunately any clear cut etiology or causative factor is yet to be discovered in the Medical field. Although some probable causes that have been noticed over time are :
- Obesity
- Hormonal Imbalance
- Congenital or by birth – nevi or mole
- Sun exposure
- Genetics
- Ageing
- Skin damage from burn, acne etc
- Moles sometimes are caused by HPV (Human Papilloma Virus)
Skin tags, specially on the neck have been found more in case of people having digestive issues majority involving the liver conditions like fatty liver, also people suffering with Diabetes mellitus or pre diabetic people . Now if we know that that these tags or growth on skin may be due to our internal disease like fatty liver or Diabetes, will external removal of these really help? Any external application in that case for example- Thuja- The most misused homeopathic medicine , will not help alone, or even laser treatments, cauterisation etc, nothing has a lasting effect.
We need to fix our body from within. Once our systems get on track, gradually external manifestations will go away.
People usually visit homeopaths if they can cure the growths. Nevi? Moles? Freckles? The answer is yes, but we need to follow a process, the process of detailed case taking and treating the person as a whole, not just the external growths. In further articles, we will be presenting you such cases where patients were treated successfully with this process of Totality and Individualization and the cases where Thuja was not the remedy.
However, it doesnt dismisses the utility of Thuja, it only means that there are more medicines which can help and we are not limited to just one medicine.To name some of the common medicines other than Thuja are- Causticum, , Calcarea Carb, Dulcamara, Nitric-acid , Sulphur etc.
Homeopathy is a system of holistic approach no matter with what complain the patient comes. We just have different angle of asking and noticing different cases. In case of external growths, warts, nevi, we don’t just limit our vision to that particular part instead we focus on the individual as a whole and then treat the individual and not just the wart or similar growths. Once your internal system is fixed , it readily starts showing itself on the surface as well, by shedding those external growths. The time to recovery depends on multiple factors like- individual’s susceptibility to the medicines, type of growth, genetic factors, duration since when the growth started and of course if any thing that can obstruct the action of medicine.
Next time, if you think of external removal of growths, do not miss out atleast on giving homeopathy a try. If you don’t find one in your locality, please feel free to connect with us @chikitsailaaj.com for online Consultation.
