Minutus

I am a new student and have a question about suppressing the skin.
I've been an Aesthetician for the past 12 years. I've used Dr.
Hauschka products exclusively. I know they don't suppress.
In some of the reading I came across Sulphur ointments as being
suppressive? This is of great interest to me because I see people
using all kinds of things on their skin these days and am wondering
what the guidelines are whether to consider a substance as being
suppressive or if it's curing?
There are people using zinc creams, vit.C creams and also the
Anthroposophical Pharmacy where I order from sells Kali Sulph for body
acne and Psoriasis in a liquid dilution for the bath?
I'm especially concerned about acne, psoriasis and eczema.
I'm guessing the answer is to whether the cause has been dealt with
and if it just goes away with something being put on the skin and
nothing internal has been dealt with that it is probably being
suppressed.
Can anyone shine some light on this subject for me?

quite a good question it is ??? What we read and understand from the fundamentals is that applications as said sulpher etc. suppress the skin deseases and the medicine administrated inside wouldn't work to its ability. But however, when psora is the constitution of the patient, for which he is suffering from the desease is for quite a long time , ( say the patient becoming psoric) we shouldn't prescribe anyointments becoz they supress the outcome there by obstrucion in medicinal action. However when the vital force is quite dynamic, ( particularly in children ) the ointments wouldn't do much harm if the skin deseases occured are from external cause ( say unhygenic conditions).
we here basically need to understood that the principle of externals are used for external cause, and external treatment cause harm if the desease is internal.
Besides, what the ointments all you suggested are of mineral kingdom , and not the herbs. This is a considerable point ......and mineral kingdom are more deep acting than the plant kingdom. Hence the supression with the mineral ointments will be more and deep.
I sincierly feel to negate the external application of all the ointments from the mineral kingdom , unless the cause is external and for dyanmic vital force like in children.
For all other cases plant kingdom will be of no harm, for cases you mentioed above, acne, psoriasis and eczema,........i guess , the following ointments would be of no harm.....
1. aloevera and berberies for acne and rashes.
2. calanduala and aloe vera for psoriasis.
3 aloe vera and ratahnia mother tincture for eczema ( calandula even will do good.)
good luck

I have seen suppression using plant based ointments as well.

What would happen if you work out the correct remedy - say Aurum met
and then apply in 1M or whatever on the skin on an eczema lesion?

Is suppression because of the ointment - and may occur even if it
is plant or animal depending on whether it is indicated or not-

In Chronic Disease, Hahnemann specifically says not to apply remedies
cutaneously to any place where a lesion exists -- so putting Aur 1M where
the eczema is would seem not to be a good idea -- unless someone has
experience otherwise???

we apply calendula directly to open wounds and it is a wonderful
healing agent. doesnt this contradict your point?

Generally I've seen Calendula used in mother tincture rather than in
potency???

It's not my point, in any case.

Robert E Hayes had discussed about excellent results with Calendula
10M and above externally used.

Why do you think this was said? The medicine will not act? or is it
because it might cause some local irritation and cause discomfort?
If the medicine will not act if put on eczema or any other lesion for
that matter - we should not be talking about not putting suppressive
creams ( since they will not act either).

If it is going to cause local irritation how about adding the medicine
to whatever the patient feels soothing - say warm water and bathing
the region?

Or will it get absorbed more? In which case is it not good?

Anyway the point I was discussing was about whether it is suppressive
to apply any medicine on skin even if it is the simillimum? If not
does it not suppress ( at least sometimes) wherever you put it?

Was that in acute situations or chronic disease?
