Flushing--->Ferrum Metallicum 200C?

Hello,

I am 27 years old and suffer from severe blushing of the face since more than 20 years. Now the Remedy Finder gave me Ferrum Metallicum, which seems to match quite a lot of my symptoms, I am just not sure which potency to take. Can anyone help please?

Thank you very much.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Please go through the following remedies carefully beforing taking any remedy.
silicea
calcarea carb
phosphorus
mercurius sol.

You may start the indicated remedy by taking 3 doses of the remedy at a gap of 4 hours on a single day. Please don't take the doses daily but only on a single day. You should observe changes in your symptoms carefully for the next 10 days and take appropriate decision.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I read through the remedies you proposed and although mercurius sol. listed some of my other symptoms, e.g. exessive salivating (which I would love to get rid of), I am not sure how these remedies relate to my blushing symptoms.


I have found lots of matching symptoms with the Ferrum Metallicum, e.g.


Fiery-red and Flushed from least pain, emotion, or exertion
face; heat; during labour; ;
face; heat; hot flashes;
face; heat; during chilliness;
face; heat; during chill; ;
face; skin; discoloration; pale; flushes easily; ;
face; skin; discoloration; red; during chill
face; skin; discoloration; red; after exertion; ;
face; skin; discoloration; red; excitement

so I was wondering, do you think it is wrong to try it as it was not within the remedies you proposed. Also, when you talked about 3 doses at a gap of 4 hours, on one single day, was that for the 200C potency?

The main reason for my blushing is the fear of blushing whenever I am in the centre of attention. Could be a friend asking me how I am doing or a stranger on the bus asking me for the time. So simply any kind of situation.

Thank you very much again for your help.

silicea
Silica patient is cold, chilly, hugs the fire, wants plenty warm clothing, hates drafts, hands and feet cold, worse in winter. Lack of vital heat. Prostration of mind and body. Great sensitiveness to taking cold. Intolerance of alcoholic stimulants. Ailments attended with pus formation. Epilepsy. Want of grit, moral or physical.

Calcarea Carb
Easy relapses, interrupted convalescence. Persons of scrofulous type, who take cold easily, with increased mucous secretions, children who grow fat, are large-bellied, with large head, pale skin, chalky look, the so-called leuco-phlegmatic temperament; affections caused by working in water. Great sensitiveness to cold; partial sweats. Children crave eggs and eat dirt and other indigestible things; are prone to diarrhœa. Calcarea patient is fat, fair, flabby and perspiring and cold, damp and sour.

phosphorus
Tall, slender persons, narrow chested, with thin, transparent skin, weakened by loss of animal fluids, with great nervous debility, emaciation, amative tendencies, seem to be under the special influence of Phosphorus. Great susceptibility to external impressions, to light, sound, odors, touch, electrical changes, thunder-storms. Suddenness of symptoms, sudden prostration, faints, sweats, shooting pains, etc. Polycythemia. Blood extravasations; fatty degenerations, cirrhosis, caries, are pathological states often calling for Phosphorus. Muscular pseudo-hypertrophy, neuritis. Inflammation of the respiratory tract. Paralytic symptoms. Ill effects of iodine and excessive use of salt; worse, lying on left side. Tertiary syphilis, skin lesions, and nervous debility. Scurvy. Pseudo-hypertrophic paralysis. Ataxia and adynamia. Osteo myelitis. Bone fragility.

mercurius sol.
Tremors everywhere. Weakness with ebullitions and tremblings from least exertion. All Mercury symptoms are worse at night, from warmth of bed, from damp, cold, rainy weather, worse during perspiration. Complaints increase with the sweat and rest; all associated with a great deal of weariness, prostration, and trembling. A human 'thermometer'. Sensitive to heat and cold. Parts are much swollen, with raw, sore feeling; the profuse, oily perspiration does not relieve. Breath, excretions and body smell foul. Tendency to formation of pus, which is thin, greenish, putrid; streaked with thin blood.

sulphur
This is great Hahnemannian anti-psoric. Its action is centrifugal-from within outward-having an elective affinity for the skin, where it produces heat and burning, with itching; made worse by heat of bed. Inertia and relaxation of fiber; hence feebleness of tone characterizes its symptoms. Ebullitions of heat, dislike of water, dry and hard hair and skin, red orifices, sinking feeling at stomach about 11 am, and cat-nap sleep; always indicate Sulphur homeopathically. Standing is the worst position for sulphur patients, it is always uncomfortable. Dirty, filthy people, prone to skin affections. Aversion to being washed. When carefully-selected remedies fail to act, especially in acute diseases, it frequently arouses the reactionary powers of the organism. Complaints that relapse. General offensive character of discharge and exhalations. Very red lips and face, flushing easily. Often great use in beginning the treatment of chronic cases and in finishing acute ones.

Ferrum Metallicum
Best adapted to young weakly persons, anæmic and chlorotic, with pseudo-plethora, who flush easily; cold extremities; oversensitiveness; worse after any active effort. Weakness from mere speaking or walking though looking strong. Pallor of skin, mucous membranes, face, alternating with flushes. Orgasms of blood to face, chest, head, lungs, etc. Irregular distribution of blood. Pseudo-plethora. Muscles flabby and relaxed.

The above are the guiding symptoms for the selection of remedies. Please select the remedy carefully. After selecting the remedy, take 3 doses at a gap of 4 hours, on one single day in 30c potency.
From next day oneward you should take flower remedies for 9 days. Flower remedies will not adversely affect working of homeo remedies. Flower remedies are also known for their effectiveness in such conditions. Please take the following bach flower remedies thrice a day.
Mimulus
Cherry Plum
aspen

Please report after 10 days.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply again.

That really helped me and I will try out Ferrum Metallicum which seems to suit me best, and I am already taking Mimulus and Aspen, but will add Cherry Plum to my mixture.

BIG THANK YOU!
