A study talks about how homeopathy helped to treat chronic skin problems. 204 patients with chronic skin problems were assessed. 125 patients received homeopathic skin treatment and 79 patients received conventional treatment. The study found that the treatment of chronic skin diseases with homeopathic remedies is safer and more satisfactory to the patient when compared to conventional medication. After 2 years of homeopathic skin treatment, they observed improvement in the overall quality of life and general skin health. (Source: European Journal of Integrative Medicine)
