Sunburn, heatstroke, solar allergy… homeopathy can help you soothe troubles related to the sun. It can also be used as a preventive measure, to prevent recurrence of solar allergy.
I got a sunburn
I always apply the calendula ointment to sunburn several times a day.
If my skin is dew to red
I feel like I’m cooking, but I’m not dehydrated (I’m not particularly thirsty): I take 5 granules every hour of Apis mellifica 15CH.
If my skin is very red and hot
I sweat, I feel that I really took the sun too much: I take 5 granules every hour of Belladona 9 CH.
If blisters appear
I take 5 granules every hour of Cantharis 15 CH.
I got hot
We talk about heatstroke, but we can very well use the term sunstroke.
the heatstroke corresponds to prolonged exposure to a high temperature which completely disrupts our temperature regulation system. This sunstroke is accompanied by different symptoms : headache, fever, sometimes vomiting, even disturbances of consciousness.
The first thing to do is rehydration : drink, drink and drink again.
Warning: if the person has disturbances of consciousness (or even is unconscious), it is necessary to lie down in a lateral safety position and to call an emergency doctor or the SAMU.
To alleviate the symptoms (or while waiting for the doctor), I always take 5 granules every hour of Belladona 9CH.
And I associate with Belladona …
If i have a headache
5 granules of Gloinoïnum 9CH, to be renewed every hour until symptoms improve.
If I’m agitated, anxious
1 dose of Aconite 15CH.
If I feel completely stupid, with a heavy head
1 dose of Gelsemium 15CH.
I am allergic to the sun
THE’sun allergy Where benign summer lucitis appears as small, red, itchy pimples or patches, mainly in bare parts of the body (except the face): neckline, shoulders, back, legs.
As soon as the redness appears, I take 5 granules 5 times a day of:
- Muriaticum acidum 15CH: reference remedy for lucitis because it concerns people in whom the slightest exposure to the sun triggers red, burning and itchy rashes.
- Belladona 5CH: to calm inflammation.
- Lung histamine 15CH: it is the remedy used for all skin allergies whatever the cause. We prefer Urtica urens 5CH if the lucite is caused by sun exposure after a bath.
- Apis mellifica 5CH: the reference remedy for edema with pruritus (itching).
I use homeopathy as a preventive measure
the preventive treatment is essential because benign summer lucitis generally recurs every year.
I start preventive treatment approximately 1 month before sun exposure. I take 5 granules morning and evening of Muriaticum acidum 7CH and one dose per week of Hypericum perforatum 15CH throughout the summer season.
