ABSTRACT
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a persistent skin disorder characterized by itching, dryness, and periodic flare-ups, often influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Traditional treatments typically manage symptoms but frequently do not tackle the underlying causes and may come with side effects. This article examines the effectiveness of homeopathy in treating Atopic dermatitis, highlighting its comprehensive, personalized approach. Homeopathic remedies, which operate on the principle of "like cures like," aim to activate the body's natural healing processes without the side effects associated with conventional treatments. By addressing both physical and emotional aspects, homoeopathy can provide lasting relief. A real-life case study illustrates the success of homoeopathy in managing AD, presenting it as a safe, natural, and sustainable treatment option. In this context, five patients with atopic dermatitis were treated with homeopathic medicine at the outpatient department of Yenepoya Homeopathic Medical College and Hospital. The details of consultations, treatment, and assessments are summarized. This case series showcases the positive outcomes of homoeopathy in managing atopic dermatitis.
