What is Hemangioma?

A hemangioma is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor made up of blood vessels. While it may appear frightening due to its red or purple color and sometimes large size, it is not typically harmful. Parents often worry about the possibility of these growths bursting, leading to bleeding. However, this concern is mostly based on myths. In this article, we will explain how homeopathic treatment of hemangioma can be both effective and safe, without the need for invasive procedures.

Signs and Symptoms of Hemangioma

Hemangiomas are typically visible as raised, red, or purple areas of the skin and can vary in size. They may occur anywhere on the body but are most common on the face, scalp, or limbs. Hemangiomas are caused by the abnormal growth of blood vessels, leading to a buildup of blood in certain areas.

Types of Hemangiomas:

1. Capillary Hemangiomas – These are the most common type and usually appear as red or purple patches. They can be flat or raised.
2. Cavernous Hemangiomas – These are deeper, with larger blood vessels, and may appear bluish or purplish.

There are also two types of capillary vascular malformations:

• Salmon Patch: Small, flat pink or red patches found typically on the forehead, neck, or eyelids.
• Port-Wine Stain: Larger, flat patches of dark red or purple skin that can become bumpy over time.
  
  

Cause of Hemangioma

Hemangiomas are caused by an abnormal proliferation of endothelial cells, which line blood vessels. These tumors are most commonly found in infants and young children. They can develop shortly after birth and may grow rapidly in the first few months of life. While most hemangiomas resolve on their own over time, they can sometimes cause cosmetic concerns or complications if located in areas where trauma is likely.

Conventional Treatment of Hemangioma

In conventional medicine, hemangiomas are often treated with pulsed dye laser therapy to reduce their appearance. However, this method is not always successful, and the risk of bleeding remains. Other treatments may include anticoagulant therapy to prevent clotting, and in some cases, surgical removal of the hemangioma. However, these approaches can be invasive and may not always provide satisfactory results.

Homeopathic Treatment for Hemangioma

Homeopathic treatment offers a holistic approach to treating hemangiomas, focusing on the overall health and constitution of the individual. The homeopathic remedies aim to reduce the size of the hemangioma, minimize its appearance, and prevent complications such as bleeding, without leaving scars.

HomoeoCARE’s Success Stories

• Case 1: A 4-year-old child with a large hemangioma on the right hand received homeopathic treatment. Within a few months, the hemangioma completely disappeared.
• Case 2: A child suffering from both internal and external hemangiomas showed significant improvement with homeopathy. Her internal hemangiomas were treated first, reducing the risk of internal hemorrhage. Over time, the external hemangiomas on her face also faded, restoring her appearance.
• Case 3: A child with a large hemangioma on the scalp, which was bright and raised, was initially too afraid to play outside due to the risk of bleeding. After starting homeopathic treatment, about 80% of the hemangioma improved, allowing the child to play safely with other children.
