This teenage boy’s constitutional homeopathic remedy is Natrum mur. The key features of his severe eczema on the elbows (dry, deep and bleeding cracks in his skin) perfectly matched the key features of a homeopathic remedy called Petroleum. Therefore, instead of recommending the remedy Natrum mur at his initial visit, I prescribed a daily dose of Petroleum 12c which nearly completely alleviated the eczema in a week. Note: There are numerous homeopathic remedies for eczema. Refer to your homeopathic practitioner to find the correct one.
