Homeopathic Remedies For Scabies

What is Scabies?

Scabies is a highly contagious skin infestation caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. It is characterized by intense itching and a rash that is often worse at night. Scabies is usually transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person. It can also be spread through contact with infested clothing, bedding, or furniture.

 In homeopathy, the treatment for scabies typically involves using natural remedies that aim to stimulate the body’s own healing mechanisms.
