BTW, I drink a glass of Tang everyday. I realised that it has orange flavour. Will it interfere with the dose of Natrum Mur?

When you take NAT MUR, please don't take extra salt in your food.
I guess, Tang won't have any anti-doting effect.

Another thing. I just used an epilator on my arms after a long time. I developed hives. I have always had that problem actually - whenever I wax or use an epilator on my arms I get hives also, I feel that the skin on my arms is giving out some kind of heat.
The hives/rash subsides in less than 12 hours or so, though.
Any help with that?

Urticaria after using epilator is common in ladies. I don't know why it happens but its well covered in natrum mur as a nettle rash worse scratching.
Urticaria or hives is a kind of allergy or an over-reaction of the immune system after a certain kind of food.
Tell me how the action of epilator on the skin be construed as a specific modality?
Till that modality is matched, no rubric can be formed for repertorising the symptom.

The closest is CARBO ANIMALIS that has the modality of 'worse after shaving'...but the this remedy doesn't have urticaria.

It's a common problem, but it's still a disease. In Ayurveda there is something they call as 'pitta dosha', I think it's because of that. Now I don't have acidity or any eating disorders, but a lot of Ayurved practitioners have told me that my skin manifests pitta imbalance. It looks hideous until it settles down, kinda like some 3rd stage herpes.

Yeah, read about it in ayurvedic texts. In your case, what are the factors that trigger urticaria.
Apart from the usage of epilator, do you have hives after taking some particular food? Homeopathic remedies like Pulsatilla, Rhus Tox and Natrum Mur do cover hives but with different modalities.
Hives can be cured if the exact modality is known and if it is covered by any remedy.

I took a dose of nat mur 200 on the night of 28th April and I feel a lot more worse now. I think I shouldn't have taken that dose.
prajkta 9 years ago
Can you describe how you are feeling after taking this dose?
Is it only the mental state or some physical symptom that has surfaced or aggravated?
Stop all remedies for the next 15 days at least.

Well, emotionally, I feel hopeless about my future.
Yesterday morning I cried a little thinking that I have ruined my career and it's too late.
Now here is the thing. I quit my job last month. And I thought I'd study for CAT but obviously I am not doing it. I am just worrying.
I have so many plans. But there is this huge wall between my ambitions and me.
Physically: The only problem, skin. while my face is much less oily now dandruff is gone. The aggravation on my back due to the first dose of nat mur 200 has not subsided yet. Some of them are slightly painful and some of them are not at all painful. They are at least 10-15 in number I think.

Your emotional state and worries are obviously based on real life issues and cannot be ignored. Neither can they be or should be suppressed by medication.
Well, as a friend, I can only suggest you to be resolute and follow-up on what you have decide for yourself.
Your mental state reminds me of GRAPHITES. A graphites lady is also very irresolute. She starts working on things enthusiastically but after some days loses focus. You can look up this remedy as well, you will find it interesting.
Don't take any more doses of NAT MUR. I feel, it has shown a good response. Next you may take silicea after 2 weeks and keep taking it once a week in 200C potency for some weeks.
You are still young...and its not too late. If you become more resolute, you can do what you want. So, don't cry or lose sleep over things that you can change yourself.Just do it!

I am a bit skeptical about taking silicea.
I'll give you a brief account of things that happened in the last one year. Like I said my skin has been bad like since forever. 10 years is a long time. Anyway, last year around this time skin was bad but a bit better than what it is today. I was working on my Master's dissertation in which I had no interest and the dissertation which was supposed to be completed in one year I had less than two months to finish it, because procrastination. Around that time I had made a new friend my relationship with him lasted for a brief time his feelings for me were largely platonic. I was intimidated by him because he is so intelligent he was more introverted than I am so he never said much. He only cared about getting a seat in one of the IIMs and making his career. But yeah he was the one who showed interest in me and when I started to like him he very conveniently backed off giving me the excuse that he wants to make his career. Anyway, with all this going on I had to finish my dissertation in a very short time. So I spent sleepless nights and produced a project that was of less than average standards. I was under tremendous stress. And I could see my skin gradually getting from bad to worse. I also had to take up a job soon after finishing my project but the job market has been quite bad since the last few years.
I manage to get a writing job in July, I was not happy with the quality of work. I have always thought of myself as someone who has squandered her potential and I deserve much better but before that I need to prove myself. So out of sudden impulse, I decided to give the CAT exam that year (2013). I joined the crash course in August and the exam was in Oct. I hardly had 3 months to study and my maths needed a lot of practice. I literally overstretched myself in those three months with the job and screwed up my exam as well. I lived on coffee and skipped meals. I was under so much pressure, I used to start crying at the drop of a hat. I could see my skin getting worse so at one point I decided that I will stop looking into the mirror. On the exam day, the paper was ridiculously easy but I goofed up anyway I had studied enough but I had not practiced tests which is the most crucial part of CAT prep.By the end of 2013 my skin had screwed up to the extent that my friends used to pity party around me as if I was dying of AIDS.
In January, I went to a cosmetologist who started doing peels on me. My skin got 50% better by the end of Feb. But I had started self-prescribing myself I took sepia 30 for almost a week which did not reap any results, then after a good gap of 15 days I started taking silicea 30. I took some 7 doses. one dose a day for a week But I had read that sil is very slow in action so I moved to 200 after a week and took 7 doses back to back I was also taking plumbum met. for my spasms. Around march ending, I had started to break out on my back and face again. I had stopped visiting the cosmetologist in feb itself. The aggravation caused by silicea and nat mur has no subsided till yet.

The reason I posted this is because I want to ask you if the main cause of my problem is heartbreak or stress.
prajkta 9 years ago
Now, this is something that you would be in a better position to understand. I feel its a cumulative effect..emotion, stress, missing regular meals, too much coffee.
You can try which one works better. I can tell you Nat Mur covers emotion and mental exertion as a possible modality of disease onset.
Another remedy which is very much pertinent in your case is NUX VOMICA.
Nux personality is just like yours...'my way or high way', they are intellectually above average but physically weak, they don't work-out much, but mentally exert themselves a lot, take help of stimulants like coffee or tobacco, miss meals, usually have gastric problems, constipation and a host of physical problems due to such irregularities.
If you look up NUX VOMICA you will find common modalities with yours - Mental exertion and Stimulants
This is certainly a remedy you should try out.

I feel Graphites is a better fit than Nux.
Is silicea capable of producing aggravation in 6c potency if taken for not more than 2 weeks?

Graphites is matching your mentals but again the modalities for onset of the ailment is fitting better with nux and nat mur.
For a remedy to act, we match mentals, modalities, etiology and generals and erect a similimmum.
In case of SILICEA low potencies, they will help the body to expel unwanted stuff from the body. In case of pimples, low potencies will always increase the pus formation in the beginning and then cure it gradually.
High potencies, however, will dry up the pimples faster and cure the irregularities in the metabolism that was producing the pus in the first place.
We don't give low potency SILICEA for pimples. Its only given for a long standing acute boil or fistula that's neither ejecting pus nor drying up.
So, yes, too much of low potency silicea could make more pus.

I see. So in what potency and how much should I take Nux Vomica?
I think I will take Silicea too at some point.

Now that you are on 200C potency, you should keep to this potency till it works. Don't go down.
Try NUX VOM 200C just two doses on a single day, 12 hours apart.
Wait and watch your condition for the next one week. If you see things are improving, you can take one dose per week for some weeks.
