Skin complaints require you to be a super sleuth. Is it the skin cream, the food, the job, the boyfriend???

“I am a 73 yr old female and I have a life long history of eczema. Until 2 years ago I always used orthodox treatment, steroid creams, Synalar, Hydrocortisone, Elocon and Prednisolone to curb the itching. I noticed that whenever I had the flare up, it was stronger than the previous one. My skin last flared up around Jan/Feb 2019 and was worse ever as it involved most of my skin. I even had eczema on my eye lids. I decided to try alternative treatments.

A local experienced Homeopath in the UK has been helping me to look after my well-being for the last 10 years. She tried to treat my eczema unsuccessfully for 2 months. That time I came across book ”Understanding Eczema” by Andie Holman. I contacted Andie even though she is in the United States and she agreed to treat me by phone.

My treatment began early October 2019 and now early December 2019 my skin is making amazing improvement. Because of the past unsuccessful treatments, and being aware that I was using steroids for many years before, I was skeptical if my skin would ever get better. Andie made it all history!

To start with she gave me lots of self confidence and equipped me with lots of practical hints, regarding Supplements, Information on Food sensitivities, how to get over “bad times” etc. Andie is equipped with Homeopathic knowledge and personal experience of treating her own eczema. Andie is giving me my life back, I shall never stop being thankful to her for enjoying life again.” - K.R.

“Your email reminded me just how much you helped me on my path, with repairing my skin and helping me to make major changes in my life and basically what a gifted and patient healer you are. Thought I'd let you know how I've been getting on. When I last spoke to you I was in the middle of a flare up that wouldn't go down! I used some remedies and have had loads of acupuncture and also NAET treatments too. My skin has improved dramatically, it is mostly clear these days, I've had three minor flare ups which I have managed to control pretty quickly. I'm still working on my skin issues but the progress is remarkable. I am so much happier and settled in my life and it shows in my skin.” -M.H

“I was skeptical at first having suffered with eczema since birth. Imagine my excitement to see the eczema disappearing after only a few days of following some of Adrianna's suggestions. I am delighted to finally be on the path to curing this horrible, exasperating, upsetting disease.” - C.M.

“Thank you so much for being a part of my healing journey, I really feel blessed to have found you, I'm certain I wouldn't be where I am without your wisdom and also you challenged me to look deeply at my stuff. Wishing you the very very best wishes and success...” - A.B.

“For the last 20 years I’d been meaning to consult a homeopath and finally did it. Andie Holman is a compassionate and sensitive practitioner who consults with great doses of wisdom and humor. Diagnosis is a fascinating process and I have experienced the effectiveness of remedies in spite of my initial skepticism!” - A.J.

“During 2003 I suffered from two major attacks of a virulent rash which covered great parts of my body, arms, legs and, worst of all, around my eyes, where the skin alternately burned or irritated. The first attack at the beginning of the year lasted three months and the second in the summer another two months. Since taking the homeopathic remedies prescribed by Adrianna Holman my skin has been totally clear – this despite the fact that I have had to cope with quite a deal of stress during this time and stress had been diagnosed as the major cause of my skin problems. I am very grateful to Adrianna and her knowledge and experience of Homeopathy.” - E.F.

“I have started using the remedy mostly at bedtime and once during the night, and the results are a blessing to stop the itching! During the day, I may feel the itchiness, but it is so slight I don’t take anything.” - L.D.

"I think the most important factor in being treated for eczema is that the treater has firsthand knowledge of the condition. The tendency from those who have never suffered from this condition is to dismiss it as 'just a rash.’ They never really seem able to plug into just how debilitating it can be.

Well, it is a rash of sorts, but it is a tenacious rash, a rash which can sink its teeth in and not let go until you drop to your knees begging for mercy whilst simultaneously scratching surreptitiously at the latest patch to appear.

The itch, the red cracked skin, waking in the night clawing at your own arms until the itch has gone only to be supplanted by the pain of shredded epithelial tissues, the sheer frustrating misery of it only heightened by the knowledge that all the doctor can do is give you ever increasing doses of steroid creams until even they barely make a difference…

Welcome to the sheer unadulterated hell of Eczema. Turning to alternative routes, picking up a book by Adrianna Holman, thought well let's have a try, not really much to lose at this stage. The treatment, the hard work and unflagging attention on Adrianna's part, the guiding hand and humor which brought me back to the central issues even when I took off on wild flights of self-diagnostic fancy, resulted now in skin which is normal, supple, elastic and most importantly of all, itch free!

My skin is better than it has ever been! So if you or a loved one, or even someone you only like a little bit, is struggling with eczema, then get in contact with Adrianna, she will sort it out!" - J.W.

“I am so grateful a friend referred me to Andie after my daughter developed a rash. After a thorough phone consultation and extensive questioning, it was discovered that I had bought a new brand of underwear and my daughter was likely having a reaction to latex in the elastic. We immediately switched back to the brand we’d use prior and the rash went away. The physician at Children's Hospital had thought it was fleas, our chiropractor suggested a gluten allergy- my gut knew both were not accurate. I’m so thankful that Andie’s expertise revealed the true source of the problem. I can not recommend her more highly.” - J.G.

“I am beaming. Why am I beaming? Because I have clear skin. On my face. I have a handful of red patches on my body but we’re talking minimal. THANK YOU!!!! I now have an arsenal of remedies, tinctures, teas and lotions to keep my eczema at bay. I haven’t felt this good about my skin in YEARS. THANK YOU!!!!” - K.L.

"Homeopathy has worked wonderfully for me. Having tried many remedies to relieve my eczema, it has truly been the only thing that has worked. It is also a comfort to know that homeopathy treats your body and your self with respect." - R.G.

“I came to see Adrianna with my daughter, A, aged 2 ½, who had been suffering from eczema since birth. For me it was a last resort as I did not feel happy with her constantly being subjected to steroid creams, especially at such a young age. 6 months on, I now wish I had come to Adrianna in the first instance, when my daughter was first diagnosed.

Adrianna has not only cleared the symptoms of the eczema from my daughter’s skin but she has helped us both understand the condition and how to manage it through a change in diet and a rebalance of her nutritional requirements. I have found Adrianna calm, caring, scientific and logical in her approach to helping us and I am so glad to have found someone who not only has an extensive knowledge of homeopathy but also nutrition.

The change in my daughter has been remarkable. Not only is her skin free of any eczema patches, but we have noticed a huge change in her as a person. She is now a confident, happy, sparkly child with real vitality and a strong immune system. We are very grateful to Adrianna for freeing her from the emotional and physical downward spiral that the eczema had already begun.

Update April 2009: “I just wanted to send you this mail to let you know the fantastic news that A has been off all her homeopathic remedies for 3 months now and is back on all dairy now without any skin reaction at all. I am still keeping her off wheat whilst her system adjusts to the dairy, but if things continue in this positive manner then I shall look to trial wheat in a couple of months.

Thank you so much for your invaluable input - I hate to think where A would be without your help - probably with severe eczema and on an armful of steroid creams - it doesn't bear thinking about.”  - J.R.
