Evaluating the Efficacy of Homeopathic Treatments in the Management of Eczema: A Comprehensive Review

Author(s) Prafulla Chandrakant Patil
Country India
Abstract Background: Eczema, a chronic inflammatory skin condition, significantly affects patients' quality of life. Conventional treatments, while often effective, can have limitations and adverse effects. Homeopathy, an alternative medical system, has been proposed as a complementary approach for eczema management. This review aims to evaluate the efficacy of homoeopathic treatments in managing eczema.
Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using online databases. Studies were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, focusing on randomised controlled trials, observational studies, and patient-reported outcomes. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed systematically, and results were synthesised using qualitative and quantitative methods.
Results: The review identified diverse studies exploring homoeopathic treatments for eczema. Evidence on the efficacy of homoeopathy in eczema management is mixed, with some studies reporting significant improvements in symptoms and quality of life, while others show limited or no benefit compared to placebo. Homoeopathy offers a benefit, particularly in reducing symptom severity and improving patient satisfaction. Subgroup analyses indicated variations in response based on age, eczema severity, and individual patient characteristics.
Discussion: The findings suggest that homoeopathic treatments could play a role in the holistic management of eczema, potentially enhancing patient outcomes. However, the variability in study quality and outcomes highlights the need for more rigorous research to establish definitive conclusions. Potential mechanisms of action and clinical implications are discussed, emphasizing the importance of personalized treatment approaches.
Conclusion: While homoeopathy shows promise as a treatment for eczema, further high-quality studies are necessary to validate its efficacy and understand its role within a broader therapeutic context. Future research should focus on standardized methodologies and long-term effects to provide clearer guidance for clinicians and patients.
