The ABC Homeopathy Forum

`

Hi, my 1 year old son has always had very sensitive skin and eczema. Sweat and dry weather make it worst. His skin is very dry and his doctor recommended almond oil which also caused him to develop red spots in his torso. Just from crawling around his legs get full of eczema spots (red blotches of raised, dry skin). He also has very bad cradle cap. He is still nursing and has always had a great appetite. He is very sweet and affectionate, very social, calm, independent. His favorite food is bread. When he was 7 months, he had a little bit of an asthma episode after his eczema went away (due to applying a milk based lotion which his regular physician suggested). I treated him with Pulsatilla (which didn't seem to help) and than Phosphorus, which took care of it. Please advise on how to treat him. Thank you so much for your help!

The potency was 30C, two pellets a day for 30 days from November 15 to December 15. Thanks for your reply.

My goodness. Do not ever repeat medicines like this.

This was too much repetition of the same potency.

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES more than 3-4 doses of a 30c need to be given when the medicine is correct. You gave 30 doses of the same potency. These are not pills that you can keep popping, and undue repetition can cause long term provings where the person starts exhibiting symptoms belonging to the remedy picture.

Remember that once the body has started responding to the dose of 1 potency (which surely happens after 2-3 doses), all future doses of the same potency are a hindrance.

If and when there is a relapse, the medicine needs to be repeated in a higher potency.

Do not play around with these medicines, with great power to cure also comes a great power to cause harm as well.

I appreciate your advice in regard to the dosage. I live in a region of the US where homeopathy is not common and I was following orders of my homeopathic doctor in Brazil. I have been trying to treat my children with homeopathy to the best of my judgement, which is a little challenging when I can't just go to a doctor that can help them. So please bare with me as I am on a learning journey with my children's best interest in mind. With that said, what route of treatment do you suggest from now on?

I am confused now. You are saying you were following the advice of Brazilian homeopath.. and what about this thread then ?

I had told you at that time too to not to repeat the remedy, and Rishi had told you to raise potency after some time.
