National Basketball Player Achieves 80% Recovery from Chronic Acne with Homeopathy

On January 2, 2022, a 24-year-old man (Patient ID: 47087) sought treatment for acne at the Life Force homeopathic clinic. For five years, he has been dealing with this acne issue. He had acne over his back, chest, cheeks, and forehead when he saw us for consultation. Acne symptoms included redness, sensitivity, burning, itching, and pain. For the past two years, he has not received any treatment for the same condition.

The patient was following a purely vegetarian diet. His appetite was average. He enjoys eating sweet foods. There was no particular dislike. He was thirsty. He experienced profuse sweating all over his body. He had a good night''s sleep with no particular recurring dreams. He had no urinary problems and had normal bowel movements. Both his sister and his father had acne at an early age, so it ran in the family.

He is a national basketball player. His dad works in politics. His mom takes care of the house. He also had two brothers. He was friendly, outspoken, active, and outgoing. He was impetuous and only became angry with family members. He repressed his rage most of the time while he was with people other than his family. He behaved himself well.

After studying his detailed case history, he was prescribed individual-specific medicine to address his acne from the root level.

Follow-ups:

When the patient gave his follow-up on 02.03.2022, two months after starting medicine, he was considerably better at first, but after 5 weeks of medicines again, he got new acne.

A few months later, on 24.04.2022, acne on the forehead and chest became troublesome, while all other symptoms remained stable. Overall, there was a significant improvement compared to the start of treatment. Since the acne continued to develop persistently, Dr. Shah made the necessary adjustments to his medication.

All of his acne had cleared up by the time of his follow-up on June 19, 2022, except the back and chest acne, which were pustular and painful.

His condition had significantly improved on August 13, 2022. There was little improvement in the chest area, but all of his acne outbreaks on the face and back were exhibiting good improvement.

When he had his follow-up on December 10, 2022, all of his facial, cheek, forehead, and back area acne had improved significantly, and he was almost 80% better. Other sensations, including burning, redness, and itching, were also alleviated. The patient was quite pleased with the care he received.

Conclusion:

This case demonstrates the effectiveness of individualized homeopathic treatment in addressing acne caused by hormonal imbalance, stress, dietary factors, and poor sleep—offering holistic, long-term relief by targeting the root causes without side effects, even in a high-performance national athlete under physical and emotional stress.
