Listen, I have an exciting life story to tell you.

One of my relatives had psoriasis for 17 years. He tried various treatments they gave some temporary relief but sadly didn’t cure it, and his psoriasis recurred.

Due to heavy medication for an extended period, his liver started to get affected. 

Not knowing what to do, he turned to homeopathy medicine. The doctor suggested some medications with a few dietary restrictions.

What a surprise!

Within a few days, his skin started showing signs of healing, and after a couple of months, it completely healed. Even the darker patches began to disappear, bringing back the skin color.

It was such a fantastic transformation that had a tremendously positive effect on his mental health and self-confidence, especially on his health after taking all those harsh medications for years together.

This life transformation made me ponder on homeopathy.
