Lol..now don't jump from remedy to remedy.

This is also done by a CALC CARB child who later develops to be of another constitution based on what he goes through in life.

There are plenty other things as well.

Why don't I write a more elaborate description highlighting my temperament and all the key life experiences and get back to you.

I was thinking it has to be one of Psor/Ant Crud/Graphites/Carbo Veg for me.

But we will see.

Sure...that's what is required for finding the correct remedy.

If you feel uncomfortable writing here, you can also directly write to me. Look up my profile to get my e-mail.

Just read your Nat Mur suggestion. I am not a closed book. I am quite emotive and make myself obvious to others.

Nat Murs don't impose on others, I do. I am the 'my way or highway' kind of a person. I am self-centered and judgmental. I have to be around people who are intelligent and funny. Cannot stand people who are dumb or people who don't get me. Not like I am a scientist who does stand-up, but it's mostly because I have shut myself off from the world, lack willpower and there is fear of failure too I guess.


I avoid looking at myself in the mirror. and going out to meet my friends. I think I have become morbidly ugly because of my bad skin.

You don't have to be constitutionally a NAT MUR person for the remedy to act. If you have studied homeopathy you will understand that etiology of a symptom is as important as its modalities. In your case, if the out-breaks have started just after the failed love relationship, it is plausible that the two are related.

Nat Mur stood high in my solution but failed due to the modality and etiology. If any imbalance in hormones can be linked with grief of separation or failed love related emotions, NAT MUR should be the first remedy.

Now, with what you have written, remedies like SEPIA, SULPHUR and NUX fit the bill.

Sulphur also stood high in my solution but failed due to lack of matching modalities.

I feel my skin improves a bit after taking a steam bath and perspiring. The pores open up.

I sweat scanty. Never on the hands and feet.
But I remember that there used to be time when my hands and feet sweat. The sweat was moderate and did not cause any discomfort.


I have tried sepia 30. No help at all.

Wait I am so confused now. No remedy for me. :(
 
prajkta last decade
Well, you have some options with you now. Sometimes homeopaths cannot zero in on any remedy because a similimmum cannot be erected. In your case, I am not able to make a full matching set of symptoms with regard to its modalities,etiology and your personality.

So, you need to try out one by one.
 
rishimba last decade
Tell me something,is it worth trying sulphur when I know I am not a hot patient and I don't have that typical 'itch'.

Because there are a quite a lot of similarities.
 
prajkta last decade
Yes, Sulphur was also quite high in the solution. You can start with a dose of Sulphur 200C and see if it produced a response.

I am actually still waiting or an answer from you...did the bout of acne happen after the break-up? If yes, how many days or months later?
 
rishimba last decade
Co-incident or not, I started getting acne when I was 16. Few on face and back.

My first relationship (it was more like a case of unrequited love) happened when I was 16 too. He and I were friends mostly. I thought I was in love. He didn't care about it and he eventually stopped talking to me without telling me the reason. The whole thing took not more than 4 months to start and end, but it took me around 2 years to get over it.

My acne only got worse after I turned 19-20. But I had not withdrawn from the social world completely like I have now.

I have always had poor eating habits. And I have always been ridiculously sentimental.I stress about everything and anything. And I have had inferiority complex about my looks for as long as I can remember.

I suffered from eczema when I was 10. It got cured by the time I hit puberty I think.

Well, I don't see any reason why you should not try out NAT MUR.

I understand, your problems may or may not be linked. But in homeopathy we try to look for plausible links between the onset of symptoms to any change in the mental sphere of the person just before its onset.

As you said, you took some 2 years to get him out of your mind, its a long enough time and a likely breeding ground for hormonal changes or any irregularity that manifested in abnormally high skin eruptions.

Look up pulsatilla and tell me if you were a pulsatilla girl when you were 16 before the episode. In case, your answer is yes, you have another reason why you should try out Nat Mur.

3 doses of Nat Mur 200c good enough?
 
prajkta last decade
Yeah, take it on a single day, each dose 12 hours apart. That is, morning - evening - morning.

But don't take it now. You need to see the response of Psorinum for some days. If there is absolutely no response in the next 7 days, you can go for the next best indicated remedy.

Keep me updated.

Random itching but no rashes anywhere.

No other changes as such.

In your case you should look for increase or reduction in acne distribution and general improvement of your skin. It would be a gradual process though.

If the distribution doesn't change even a bit after 15 of taking the remedy, you can try the next best.

You can go for NATRUM MUR and update me your observations.
 
rishimba last decade
From what I have read, Ant Crud and Nat Mur both have disappointed love as the underlying problem.

Can you please help me understand why Nat Mur is a better fit for me?

I looked up for Nat Mur personality and different authors have different things to say about Nat Mur. So I am a bit confused. Thanks.
 
prajkta last decade
Antim Crude has certain marked symptoms and modalities without which it doesn't work.

Apart from the specific physical symptoms, Nat mur matches your generals and mentals as below

-Oily skin on face and greasy scalp

-You tend to skip meals

-Proximity to sea aggravates your overall symptoms

-You are now a closed personality who avoids unknown situations. Introverted

- Weepy before periods.

-Location of eruptions mainly around the margin of hairy areas ( forehead and near sideburns).

-You were most probably a very sentimental Pulsatilla lady when young who would feel happy being attached to someone. However, your personality has coarsened and got introverted over time by harsh and hurtful experiences you have gone through.

So, I think Nat Mur fits you much better.

Does this also mean that I might need to take Pulsatilla sometime during this course. I am going to purchase Natrum Mur tomorrow should I get Puls along with it too?

I have had a series of heart-breaks actually. I have also had an habit of sucking on black salt stones and hajmola in my childhood. I consumed them quite excessively. Although, now, I cannot stand when there is extra salt in my food. And I have also been very emotionally distant from my parents. So, I guess, I should really try Nat Mur.
 
prajkta last decade
For the present you need not buy PULSATILLA. I feel NAT MUR will produce a good response in you.

Get the remedy of a reputed company like BOIRON, RECKEWEG or HELIOS etc. Don't know which one is available in Mumbai.

I bought SBL's Nat Mur liquid and took my first dose.

How long until I see Nat Mur's action?
 
prajkta last decade
We don't get SBL in the Gulf so am not aware of its effectiveness. For myself I use only Boiron and Reckeweg and I can vouch for these brands.

Regarding the response, you will start feeling the change in your mind. A sense of well being and better sleep. On a physical level it will take some time...maybe two to three weeks.

This is because, the onset of the ailment has been slow and adynamic. Your body will take the same pace to get it off.

So, don't get impatient. If you don't feel any change in your mentals, go for Boiron or Reckeweg.

Update: My scalp has gotten worse. My skin still feels oily. Mentally I am not in a good state as the guy I used to like has started seeing someone else. And it is making me feel horrible. I cried a little last night. Feeling hopeless and cursed.

I can't say if your worsened condition is an aggravation due to the remedy you have taken. I wish it was!

Now, at the same time your mind is disturbed by another external stimuli, so it's difficult to assess your response to the remedy.

I feel, wait for some days and keep notes on the changes you feel on your scalp and facial eruptions. Get back to me with the changes. If your condition is really a homeopathic aggravation, you are on the way towards cure. So, best thing is to wait and watch.

I understand how you must have been feeling...but I would rather move-on and wouldn't care to keep track of the person with whom things didn't work out. Look what happens to the body if the mind isn't happy!

Update: My lower lip has become dry.
I have become slightly flatulent.
I see a new HUGE crop of boils on my back.

Mood - Neither happy nor depressed.
 
prajkta last decade
If the eruptions on your back are unusually high, it could be the response to the remedy. The initial aggravation is an indication of cure in the long run.

Have you ever seen such an intense break-out of pimples on your back earlier?

I can't comment right now. Please don't take any other remedy now. Wait and watch for another week or two.
