Nesha_Help wanted : Nose lost it's ability to smell

'SeattleGuy' :
Thank you for reading my articles.
Your symptoms are described sufficiently for me to diagnose and I think the following should help you for major of your problems including your tendency for allergies via the nose.

1. kali. bich.-30c, one drop liquid (& not pills) on a clean tongue, every 3rd hour for one week ONLY. Then stop with feed-back to me over here on this post.
2. Phytum-200c, one drop liquid, one dose every night time only, for one week only.
3. Silicea-12X + Calc.Flour-6X. (bio-chemic triturated tissue salts). Both 4 tablets of each equals to one dose. Take such atleast 3 doses per day, for many weeks.
4. Take Glyercine (available in medical shops). Apply liberally with a cotton bud inside both nostrils at bedtime and then sleep. May feel odd doing this, initially, BUT This do it definetly.
5. All above to be done simultaneously and not otherwise.

YOU may have to discontinue all other homeopathic medicines, when on above therapy. Lets know if any confusion on above. Do post over here, when you benefit from the above suggestions.

It is Calcarea Flourica ..one of the twelve recognised tissue salts as per the theory of Dr.Schussler.

'SeattleGuy' :
1. Phytum is not 'Symphytum Officinale". Phytum is sort of a rare medicine is not available on online pharmacies. You have to scout around in reputed homeo stores.
* Try to obtain Phytum and if not available, Continue with the Kali.Bi., as described earlier.
2. Calcarea Fluorata 6X and Calcarea Flourica, should be the same. Maybe be some spelling variations. It will be okay to take in 8X.
3. Do defintely do the Glycerine application, as described earlier.

? Do you prefer extra salty foods, spicy foods or extra sugary foods. Do you have more of high protein diets (meat, milk, junk foods, colas ...). Are you aggressive natured, sentimental, emotional, sensitiive to peopls talks .... Try to answer in details, if possible.

Did you want a classical homoeopath like myself to prescribe for you? This requires gathering a large amount of information, much of which might seem unrelated to your problem.

The previous poster, and your naturopath, were not prescribing according to homoeopathic principles, so my approach will be more in line with actual homoeopathy.

CASE PRESENTATION FOR CLASSICAL HOMOEOPATHIC PRESCRIBING

General Guidelines:

1. Try to be as descriptive as possible. When describing pains or sensations use descriptions along the lines of ‘feels as if someone is squeezing it with their hand’ or ‘it is like an insect crawling around inside’ or ‘it is as if someone is standing over me threatening to kill me’. Long descriptions are always better than short ones. One word answers are difficult to use successfully.

2. Another important part of symptom description for homoeopathy are the ‘modalities’. These are situations, events, activities or conditions which modify the symptom in some way. We usually refer to this as what makes them ‘better’ or ‘worse’ (amelioration/aggravation). The situation may actually provoke the symptom into appearing, make it vanish altogether, or just increase or decrease it in some way. Modalities are vital information for prescribing.

Modalities are typically related to (but not exclusively) the following situations:

A. Temperature, weather
B. Time (day, night, specific times, frequency, periodicity, season)
C. Position, activity
D. Emotions, thoughts
E. Food and drink
F. Drugs, medication

3. How the symptom is perceived is important too – odour, appearance, sound, touch. What colour is it, what is its texture? For gestures, describe what it looks like the patient is doing, or what you feel you are doing while making the movement eg. ‘they look like they are swatting flies’ or ‘I feel like something is pushing my hand upwards’ or ‘it is like I stick a fork in an electrical outlet which throws my body backwards’. Description – it is key to accurate prescriptions.

4. When did the symptom or set of symptoms start? The apparent cause can be useful in determining the remedy, although it is not of the same importance as the previous factors. It may have been a specific event, a disease, an accident or even an emotional experience.

5. Use your own words. Do not copy phrases or descriptions found in our various remedy pictures. Try not to use other people’s ideas or thoughts or words. If you are reporting on behalf of someone else, report their exact words, however you can also report your own observations of them (not opinions).

6. Does the symptom occur alongside another specific symptom? Do particular symptoms only occur together? Does a particular symptom occur with a particular thought or emotion? For example, a headache that always comes with visual disturbances, or stomach pain that appears alongside anger, or anxiety that makes you feel like running down the street screaming.

7. Each complaint should be described fully before going on to describe another complaint. Try not to mix different symptoms or complaints together. Each modifying feature must be clearly attached to a particular symptom/set of symptoms. Any mistake you make here is a mistake the homoeopath will also then make.

MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL DESCRIPTION



(Please spend the most time on this section and give DETAILED answers - the homoeopathic remedy is very often decided on the basis of the mental and emotional state of the patient !)


1. What are the issues in your life that bother you the most. Not physical issues but mental or emotional ones. List each one separately and describe why each one bothers you so much.

2. What emotions are the most troublesome for you? What situations provoke these emotions. How do these emotions make you act? Do you feel any ill effects from expressing or not expressing these emotions.

3. What incidents in your life have had a deep impact on you? Describe each incident in detail and how they made you feel? What did you do in those situations? What effect have they had on your life?

4. What are you afraid of? Especially important are phobias, but it might be objects, situations or events that just produce a high level of anxiety. How do you manage your fears? How do you react when confronted with these fears? What would be the worst situation for you to be put in that would provoke these fears? You may need to talk about each fear/anxiety separately.

5. What hobbies do you have? Why do you like each of these activities?

6. Do you have any persistent thoughts, ideas or beliefs that are difficult to stop or cope with? What are they?

7. Do you have any unusual gestures or movements of the body? Do you feel any unusual sensation or pain throughout your body? What exactly does it feel like is happening in your body?

8. When you experience your fears, persistent thoughts, or difficult emotions, what kind of sensation or reactions do you get in your body?

9. When did you feel at your best in your life? What was that like for you? If you imagine the complete opposite of this feeling or moment, what would that be like?

10. Do you feel like you are stuck in a pattern of behavior, especially when trying to deal with your problems? What is this pattern? THIS IS AN IMPORTANT QUESTION PLEASE CONSIDER CAREFULLY AND GIVE DETAILS.

11. What difficulties or problems do you have in relationships? Talk about your family, your romantic relationships, your spouse or partner, your friends, and your work colleagues. You may need to talk about all of these separately.

12. List 5 positive things about yourself. Are there any situations where this positive attribute becomes negative (is a problem)?

13. List 5 negative things about yourself. Are there any situations where this negative attribute becomes positive (is useful)?

14. Do you have any reoccurring dreams? Describe them in detail, including any feelings that come while dreaming. Dreams are very important in unlocking the deepest truth of a patient’s case, but it is not enough to simply describe them in a sentence. Give as much information as you feel comfortable doing.

15. Did you have any reoccurring dreams as a child, or earlier in your life? Describe those in detail including any feelings that came with them.

16. What were you like as a child, your character, your personality, your fears, your dreams, your problems?

17. What kind of environment did you grow up in? What problems where there at home, with your family, with your parents, with your siblings, with school?

These are standard homoeopathic questions. While you don't have to answer all of them, answering none of them means you cannot get help from homoeopathy.

Let me know what you decide to do. My offer of help stands if you are willing to give your case here.

I am a professional homoeopath with over 20 years of clinical experience. I know what kinds of information leads to cure, and these questions cover the most common areas required to find deep acting curative medicines. Missing a few of them probably won't interfere with that search, and I can understand a few of them might be too personal for some people to publically discuss, but at least some of it is necessary.
