The ABC Homeopathy Forum

hardened styes in the last month

For no reason I got a sty about a month ago (left upper lid), did not touch it, it resolved, but a small hard lump remained (chalazion?). Now two weeks ago I got another one (right upper lid), it was more painful, redder, and I did more things to heal it (warm compresses and some other experiments). Feels like a lump might be remaining there as well. The last one also looks reddish/pink still.

I scoured this forum for help and decided to start with Staphysagria 30C (no higher potency in my local whole foods) 4 pellets (Boiron) every four hours. I am open to other suggestions. Especially if someone can help me with a classical homeopathic diagnosis, remedy suggestion.

fears of something going wrong, an attack by someone, very rarely I had nightmares about snakes--but I remember them the most, they are very scary, disturbing, I almost don't want to live when I wake up. used to have more nightmares than now, about various subjects, but mostly about someone attacking me

Please take three doses of Sepia 1M as follows and see how that affects in next 30 days (only 3 doses in 30 days).

day 1 morning
1st dose

day 1 evening
2nd dose

day 2 morning
3rd dose

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 2 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 2 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

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, I have been actually prescribed sepia before, but 30C, for menstrual problems--about two years ago, first in dry form and then in wet solution. Can you tell me if taking 1M is safe? I am willing to try.
 
helent29 9 years ago
I forgot to say that I am breastfeeding currently. Is Sepia and in 1M potency safe for me and my baby?
 
helent29 9 years ago
Please start with Sepia 200. You may need Sepia 1M later. It is safe for both mother and her baby. The dosing pattern and other instructions remain same.
