These include multiple vitamins and multi minerals, which are important to ensure strong bones for which right amounts of calicum and vitamins even vitamins k is needed.

Experience some Potencies.

In some cases a particular medicine is found and known to be more useful in a particular Potency than in any other Potency. Such Potencies have been regarded as specific by clinical experiences.To illustrated Sabal serrulata for prostatitic enlargement in third centesimal Potency has worked better than Q or any other Potency. Similarly, Stellaria media in 2 x works excellently..
Some Nosodes act better in high potency I.e.200 and some in 30 c potency and above 200 Medorrhinum and Sphyilinum works better in 200 and higher Potencies only.
Bowel Nosodes As a general rule use the high potency when the mentals are prominent for gross pathology and marked pathological symptoms employ the lower Potencies.
With outstanding mentals the Nosodes in 1 m Potency or higher maybe preferred but if there is evidence of advanced pathological conditions such as advanced rheumatoid arthritis or malignancy, the 6 th decimal may be employed.
Homoeopathy has also taken up vaccine therapy and dr. J.G. Hare of London Homoeopathic hospital has introduced the use 3x and 30 x Potencies of the vaccines.i.e Staphylococcin, Staphylococcus, Streptococcin, Bacillus Acnes, Bacillus coli, Bacillus influenza, Bacillus typhus Gonococcus etc.
Glandular medicines such as Brain, Corpus lut, Mammary, Ovarian parotid, Pancreatin, Parathyroid, Pineal, Pituitary, Placenta, Prostate, Superarental, Secretin, Spleen, Thymus and Throid are used in low Potency 3x or 6x .
The curative power of certain medicines is even available in low Potencies and as such drs like Boericke and Clarke have recommended their use in low Potencies, such medicines are Abies can ( 1st to 3rd) Absinthium 1st to 6 th Ars iod 2,to3x etc.
Experience tells us the following medicines are very useful in 30 the Potencies.
Aconite, Ant crud Ant tart, Aurum met, Baptisia, Belladonna, Coculus, Corallium Dulcamara Eupt perf Ferrum met Gels etc.
Where physician is not in a position to make distinction in between the two medicines and he is in a great confusion owing to the similarity of symptoms he may select either of two medicines which has the majority of the characteristic symptoms and give the same in lower attenuation 6 to 12 . Although correct prescription brings reputation to Homoeopath but to err is human. That is why it has rightly been remarked that a Homoeopath may fail but never does the Homoeopathy.
General principles
All those cases which could not be covered earlier are described below for the guidance of the practitioners.
High Potencies are advised in following cases.
The more the symptoms are functional rather than organic.
The more dynamic and or deep acting the nature of the drug.
To antidotes the ill effects of low Potencies and crude drugs ( remembering the hazard in the use of high Potencies in organic destructive disorders)
To rouse reaction in refractory cases.
The higher and highest dilutions are more useful in
All diseases of nervous system generally
In all sensitive persons of both sexes particularly those who have never taken any medicine of any kind.
Diseases of skin.
Low Potencies are advise
In dynamic or low conditions of the vital force.
For palliative purpose with partial indications
In acute disease low Potencies . When dealing with vegetable substance low Potencies, lesions disorders low Potencies, if you administere a medicine for one Symptom alone, the low Potency for functional disorders medium Potencies.
Some medicines have their own donts particularly in high Potencies. For example Silicea and Sulphur high are dangerous drugs to be given when there's a structural disease in organs that are  vital.Phosphours in high potency be avoided in phthisis in a chronic case Lycopodium high at the start is advisable.Belladona in high potency if frequently repeated may prove fatal.High Potency of Kali carb in gout, Psorinum in asthma are prohibited.Silicea high must not be administered to cases who have been grafted with foreign/ artificial matter
When high potency has been administerd in an incurable case or one with marked pathological changes and it has resulted in aggarvations which the vital energy can not cope with or the aggregation is very painful, the patient is going near to the end of life, the physician must antidotes.
When lamp of life is burning very low the exhibition of Homoeopathic medicine high or low is probably like a gust of wind.
In domestic practice the lower attenuations may be used with much greater safety than the higher.

Celliac disease

Celliac disease is an autoimmune disease triggered by the consumption of Gluten containing foods.
Gluten is a general name for the proteins found in wheat berries, semolina spelt farina rye barley and triticale.Gluten helps foods maintain their shape acting as a glue that holds foods together gluten found in many types of foods such as bread, soups pasta cereals.
The medical approach for celliac disease is a life long gluten free diet it may not be enough to prevent may complications associated with disease, have intestinal abnormalities.
Allergic symptoms of Gluten
Infertility
Joint pain
Digestive issues
Neurological disorder
Mood swings depressed
Migraine.
Chronic fatigue syndrome and pain.
Etc.
Gluten in food industry refers to storage proteins in all grain. These storage proteins are beneficial in food production, gluten free to the medical community refers only to the small intestine known to damage the small intestine for persons​with gluten sensitive enteropathy ( celliac disease and dermatitis herptiformis) gluten free diet should avoid the storage proteins found in wheat berries semolina spelt farina rye barley and other cereals.
People who have been advised by their physician to be on a gluten free diet should eat gluten free food.
Blood tests are available to screen for celiac diseases but possitive small bowel biopsy is required to confirm the diagnosis.
Individuals with severe food allergies can eat the products should consult their physician gluten free foods are safe for celiac diseases.
The condition is difficult to live with and is not helped by fad dieters.
The trick here's to find eggs and wheat other'cereals free from gluten.
The majority of our factories are not grain free and therefore the products made in them cannot classed as gluten free. Consumers must read the ingredients list to be cleared when a products contains any alleric ingredients as per the recipe or trance amounts, for gluten intolerance or allergies such ingredients would be cereals such as wheat barley rye oats groundnut etc amongst others.
Are you gluten intolerant? A huge amount of population is now not they are allergic to some kind of food.

Epilepsy

Epilepsy means a tendency to have seizers and a symptom of brain disease where there are periodical changes in the neurological function, which is often accompanied by alterations in consciousness due to excessive, abnormal, electrical impulses from the nerve cells within the brain.The epileptic seizures are divided into generalized seizures or partial seizures.In generalized seizures ( grand mal) the patient gets an aura that is followed by loud crying, biting of his own tounge, increased salivation or deveops froth at mouth, there may be violent jerking of limbs he , he may urinate or defecate and there can be resultant sudden loss of consciousness with total loss of memory for the attack. The petit amal type of eilepsy is the one that is usually seen in small children with complaints of cessation of mental activity for a few seconds, without loss of consciousness and without the patient realizing what had happened. These are also termed as absence attacks, where the person or the child becomes absent from his surrounding for a brief period of time and any movements of the lid, lip and tounge are possible. Continuous convulsive movements without any epileptic free Periods and without the patient regaining awareness between the attacks, usually lasting for more than twenty four hours is called as status epilepticus.
The patient usually comes with a history of involuntary urination and defecation, head injury, high fever labor, metabolic disorders ( hypoglycemia, hypocalcaemia, hyponatremia, hypomagnesemia, renal failure) certain drugs ( Pencillin isoniazid. Antimalarial, cyclosporin , phenothiazine, tricyclics, lignocaine etc) tumor, hydrocephalus infections ( menigitis, encephalopathy) cerebrovascular accidents multiple sclerosis SLE or excessive intake of alcohol.
An epileptic patient is not allowed to drive, cycle or swim and not allowed to work near fire, machinery or water, since the patient can get an attack at any time And any place. The patient should take only a shallow bath, without locking the door of and that too when someone is present in the home. The patient should be assured that a normal life is possible, along with medications.
During an attack, put the patient in a semi prone position with head low and roll the patient onto any side to the secretions flow out of the mouth, instead of it getting aspirated into the lungs and leading to further complications. Ensure that the airway is clear. Pressing the tounge down with the help of a spoon is necessary to prevent a tounge bite and is also useful to prevent the Fallin back of the tounge ( leading to respiratory obstruction) . For convulsions that occur in small children immerse the legs of the Child in hot Water for five to ten minutes after which if the attack goes away, the child should be wiped dry. If the child is not better or if the attack occurs again, follow the same procedure again and also apply some cold water simultaneously to the head of the Child.
The person who had an epileptic attack may occasionally be drowsy and confused for about half an hour to one hour and should not be left alone until he has recovered completely. If the convulsions continue for more than five minutes or if it recurs without the person getting conscious, one needs immediate medical attention.

Homoeopathy a complete medical science

Homoeopathy A complete medical Science.
The body is making an effort to maintain internal stability.This process is called Homoeostasis . The body will do everything it can to return to stability if this state is altered . Are u familiar with the big Hit Me plastic clown ( with sand in the base) the children play with? No matter how hard or in what direction u hit or push the clown,it returns to an upright position. Similarly with the human body,it is always working to maintain a certain balanced state.If it's v hot day,it perspires to cool it self .If a bone is broken, the body works to mend it .It creates scar tissue over a cut to protect itself from further damage,and It produces white blood cells to fight infections.Homoeostatic activities include everything from replacement of the lining of the digestive tract to the regulation of a woman's menstrual cycle.U depend on homeostatic systems breaks down the result will be disease,perhaps even death.
Homoeopathic medicines act upon the body causing a complex series of biochemical changes that attempt to bring the body back to a healthy state.Homoeopathy's ramifications in respect to maintaining health are awesome,indeed many Drs.and scientists consider it's theory to be one of the greatest contributions to the understanding of disease.
Dr.Hahnemann , the father of Homoeopathy bases homoeopathic science on the principle of nature's law of cure that is to bring about gentle and cure by raising the body's vital force to such,an extent that the body overcomes the diseases process and gets back to its normal,healthy self without causing any adverse effect.
When u consult a homoeopathic Physician u will find it v different from seeing a conventional dr.taking down ur family history,symptoms ,nature etc,before deciding on the right remedy for u .This is because in homoeopathy there is no specific remedy for a specific illness, and therefore each individual Is treated on his own.
Homoeopathy differs from the other systems of medicen in the preparation of remedies,though the drug substances may be the same.Homoeopathic medicines are potintised medicens.What is potency?
Potency means inner or physical strength It can also be defined as the dynamic property of a drug which is released,enhanced and maintain by the dynamisation method.D dynamisation is also known as potintisation.which ,in turn,means the liberation of the hidden power of a drug.Homoepathic potintisation,therefore is a mathemetico - mechanical process for the reduction,according to scale, of crude ,inert or poisonous medical substances to a state of physical solubility, physiological assimilability and therapeutics activity and harmlesness,for use as Homoeopathic healing remedies.

Certain substances which are poisonous in crude form such as Mercury,strychnine Arsenic and snake poisons cab be rendered harmless and be transformed into beneficial healing remedies.For example snake poisons when taken in its crude form would kill a person,but when it is homoeopathically prepared it can stop the worst kind of bleeding.Arsenic is another poisonous substance which when used in Homoeopathy immediately controls diarrhoea and vomiting caused by food poisoning.
Certain substances which are inert in crude form such as metals like Aurum(Gold) Platinum,Calcarea carbonate and Charcoal,can be changed and activated.For example Gold (Aurum met) 1m potency can put an end to sucidal tendencies.
Certain drugs already active in their natural state but can be further activated and their sphere of action broadend potencies can be low , starting from 0 to about 3x ......6 x , medium potencies range from 30 to 200 and high ,and high potencies from 1 M ......10 M onwards.The higher the potency the lesser the drug.... but the higher the energy.It is all based more or less on the theory of the atomic bomb .The bomb gets its energy from the splitting of the nuclei( central cores) of Urinum or Plutonium atoms . The relationship between mas and energy,put forth by the great mathematician Albert Einstein explains how the fission of heavy atoms can produce energy.Similarly ,in Homoeopathy the drug substances,that is small atoms,are split even smaller atoms generating more and more energy.
Homoeopathically prepared medicences may contain very little of the original substance ,yet they are perfectly effective.In this way,substances which at full strength may be extremely poisonous can quite safely be used homoeopathically and give excellent results even if you take more than prescribed dose by accident.
Tautopathic medicines
Today Homoeopathic science has progressed to such extent in the USA, Mexico, Germany UK, France Pakistan and in India, that these modern medicines are prepared in the Homoeopathic manner by a process that is known as tautopathic science. These drugs are made with the same names in different Potencies. The function of these tautopathic drugs is to counter the ill effects of drug toxicity. They have proved to be life savers, especially in acute and chronic conditions.
Myths of Homoeopathy
Garlic, onions  coffee, liquor perfumes there are no don'ts about them. Extensive trials have been carried out in Mexico which have proved that they do not hinder the efficacy of the medicines.
Slow to act
There is popular but mistaken belief among the lay people ( but mercifully now not among the enlightened community of modern medical practitioners of all discipline) that Homoeopathy is slow to act. This of course is a myth. In acute illness when the infection is growing at fast rate, nobody, no even the Homoeopath can afford to wait for slow, passive action. The speed of therapeutic response is of utmost importance. The properly selected remedy with the right Potency and dosage works with unbelievable speed.
This is another big  misunderstanding that exists among people. Nothing comes out and nothing gets worse. At times certain diseases in the system get suppressed due to the use of conventional medicines and these suppressed diseases attack vital organs, causing further destruction.
Now let's see what happens when Homoeopathic medicines are given to a such a diseased individual
As we know the principle of Homoeopathy is to make the vital force ( inner strength) strong enough to throw out the disease from within the body in its most natrual way.When the body starts to throw out these deep seated diseases in the intial stages the power is so strong that it creates a slight impact. This impact may or may not be felt in all cases and it should not last for more than 48 hours.
Stopping all other medicines.
Some people hold the mistaken belief that Homoeopathy requires you to stop all other forms of medicine. This is not necessarily true.when patients come with chronic illnesses like bronchial asthma, high blood pressure and diabetes, they have usually been taking allopathic drugs for a number of years. Asthmatic may be on broncho dilators and cortisones . They cannot stop taking these drugs all of sudden because not even Homoeopathy can work miracles overnight. The patient may need emergency treatment and the Homoeopath may not be available. Besides, since a patient has taken those for so many years.,  no harm can come from him continuing with them for a few more days or weeks, till his system gets adjusted to the Homoeopathic drugs. The sudden withdrawal effect of very potent drugs can be extremely harmful and it should be done very systematically and step by step.
In the case of hypertension too, the same rule applies. Once the blood pressure starts going down, the drugs can be withdrawn gradually.
In acute illnesses like very fever antipretics like Paracetamol ( crocin or metacin) are given to help control the fever for a few hours, and once the infection comes under control by Homoeopathic drugs these,( allopathic drugs) are not needed to bring in complete relief through Homoeopathic drugs, however if you are being treated homoeopathically you should not take another Homoeopathic medicine at the same time without first consulting your Homoeopath.
Advantages of Homoeopathy.
It is completely safe and free from side effects.
It can be given to newborns, pregnant women and geriatrics (our senior citizens) too.
It is complete medical science which has remedies for psychological and physiological disorders and it also helps end drug induced disorders.
It treats each individual case separately, we do not prescribe for the disease condition, taking into account the patient's signs and symptoms.
Two persons from the same family may suffer from headaches. One of them may feel better with a tight bandage on his head, while the other may not let you touch his head. Why? Because each individual is different in his likes dislikes, aggravations ameliorations   mental symptoms etc. Therefore mr A will require a different medicine from mr B .
Homoeopathic medicines are based on the theory of Jainism no killing. We don't kill bacteria but aim to enhance the body's natural ability to heal itself. This is done by increasing the vitality or the inner power of the body which is called the vital force. The body then overcomes the bacteria and viruses.
Homoeopathic medicines are made from various sources. However, the accent is on herbal and mineral sources. They are also made from chemicals though not from crude once. And since these are Potentised chemicals there are absolutely no side effects.
No latrogenic disorders is caused even after continuously taking Homoeopathic drugs. (Latrogenic disorders are produced due to drugs and their strong chemicals.)
But I would like to warn my readers that indiscriminate use of high Potencies in certain pathological conditions may damage their system.
Homoeopathic medicines go deep into the system and try help the body to get rid of disorders without any side effect relief is complete and long standing. Though their use, a number of surgical conditions can be avoided for example, adenoids, tonsillitis, piles, fissures, fistula and certain types of kidney, liver and bile stones.

Missing or late period

Missing or late period

There are several factors which can delay a period which include.
Early menopause perhaps not the cheeriest one to Kick off but as per reports around one in 100 women will experience early menopause before they reach the age of 35 . It's worth visiting your Dr if your Periods have stopped or if you are becoming increasingly sporadic. If you are suffering from hot flushes night sweats irregular sleep or vaginal dryness in conjunction with late periods, you should also seek medical advice.
Being on medication
There are certain types of medication, which signal to your body to stop menstruating. Your cycle may be impacted by some antibiotics contraceptives pills and anti-depressants disrupting your hormone levels. It's therefore important to talk to your Dr.about possible side effects of any course of medication you are about to embark on.
Changing weight
It is not so much of a thing if you shed a couple of kgs but more if you lose or gain suddenly short time.This is because your body requires a certain amount of body fat to ovulate so any sudden weight loss will stop your period.The same applies if you put on lot of weight over the short period of time.The increase in fat cells raises oestrogen levels, which will stop your body from releasing an egg and therefore you miss your Periods.
Being stressed
This seems to be the dark overload of health woes manifesting itself as hair loss, sleepless nights, problem skin and fluctuating weight, to name a few.It can also play havoc with periods. This is because the part of the brain which produces hormones crucial to reproduction, responds to stress badly, skewing the hormones production. So a woman's periods will therefore become irregular even stop altogether unless they manage to tackle their stress

Sleep
We know the symptoms of early menopause can manifest themselves when we sleep. But our sleeping patterns themselves can have a konck on effect on our periods. For example if you travel and change time zones dramatically this can cause your Periods to go off kilter. Similarly it happens if you work indodd shifts.
When training your body has a response to when it feels it's using up too much energy and this is to deactivate any functions it doesn't see as necessary. One of these may be your Periods. The good news is should you ease up on your regime, your Periods should resume.

Classification of Potency

After having come to know about various methods of drug dynamisation, the question arises as to which Potency should be given to the patient and whether low or high. The practitiiners know that potencies such as Q 1,3, 6,30,200,1000,10m,50m CM and MM are generally used.We may classify these into 6 categories namely
Low potencies Q,1,3,6
Medium potencies 12 ,30
Medium high 200
High potency 1 m
Higher potencies 10 m
Very high potencies 50 m and above
The classification as given above may, however be different in some of the books but I have adopted this classification for our convenience only.
The potency question has not been solved notwithstanding all endeavours of homoeopaths. Therefore, many popular books on Homoeopathy leave the question of potency to the judgement of the practitioners. Like others I have also tried to solve this problem and accordingly divided this problem into 5 categories.
1 Skill and knowledge of the physician.
2 Nature of the patient.
3Nature of the disease
4 Nature of the medicine.
Other general principles
Skill and knowledge of the physician
The ability, experience and the knowledge of the physician play an important role in the selection of a Potency. There are physicians who play well with high potency on the basis of their experience and there are others who are afraid of even giving above 30 Potency.
Skill of the physician means that every physician should have knowledge of medicines and knowledge of application of medicines which depends on
1 careful case taking
2 prooer analysis and evaluation of symptom.
3 Careful observation of remedy reactions their significance and results
4 Correct application of knowledge of second prescription and
5 knowledge of dispensing drugs.
The high potencies where administered, have shown their results. Both high and low potencies are of immense value at different timings with different patients and in the hands of different physicians. Beginners in Homoeopathy generally start with low Potencies. According to the Homoeopathic teachings very high Potencies, the infinitely small dose, are most powerful and may be dangerous if wrongly given. Of course much depends on the sensitiveness of the individual.A physician should know that no one Potency deserves the preference in all cases and that all Potencies cure diseases but that every Potency cures every disease.
The Homoeopathic principle in the selection of Potency is found in aphorism 30 of Organon which says that the medicinal Potency must be a little higher than the disease intensity so that the medicine dispels the disease. But the measure of disease insensity is a matter of doctor's experience.
A rational Homoeopath has no prejudice for or against high or low Potencies. He knows and perceive the fact that all Potencies act, if the remedy is similar to dynamic condition of the patient. It however, acts more efficiently and quickly if its Potency is appropriate to the sensitivity of the patient as a whole.
Nature of the patient
One of the guiding factors for selection of Potency is degree of suceptibility of the patient. Much depends on the sensitiveness of an individual taking Homoeopathic medicines. No two people react alike, persons oversensitive may even be due to improper Homoeopathic treatment require low Potency. The sluggish patients owing to much allopathic drugging, will require a very high potency to get any reaction at all or low Potency repeated every few hours until favourable reaction commences.In case of feeble patients where the vital force can easily be overwhelmed repetition of medicine is full of dangers​. Acutly sick robust patients will stand repetition of high Potencies until favourable reaction sets in.
Children can tolerate high Potencies well and generally the very aged persons require medium Potencies except for euthanasia.
Intellectual occupation, excitement of imaginations and emotions, sendantary occupations long sleep and effiminate life require higher Potencies while laboures and whose food is coarse, idiots, imbeciles deaf and dumb usually require low Potencies.
Nature of the disease
Besides dealing with chronic and diseases like nature of the disease also includes
The nature of suffering and
The stage of disease. Here I will cover all these aspects.
In general, acute disease respond well to high Potencies, especially of acute remedies. High potencies of deep acting chronic remedies when they are indicated may be dangerous, certain acute diseases based on chronic troubles such as cardiac asthma would have to be treated with medium or low Potencies because high potency would stir up more than the vital force could cope with in the face of advanced pathology.
In chronic cases, it is safe to begin with 200 th c unless it is dangerous because of the nature of the remedy, the degree of the pathology or the depth of the miasms. The object behind using 200 th Potency is that you have then ascending series of Potencies to use as treatment progress ( J.T.Kent)
In serious chronic cases the physician should take utmost care in the selection of the Potency of certain very deep acting medicines such as Sulphur, Siliceia, Tubreculinum or Phosphorus in tuberculosis, Kali carb in gout, Psorinum in Asthma and Arsenicun and Lachesis in many conditions. In these cases 30th Potency may be very useful.
In incurable and doubtful cases give no higher than the 200 th Potency and observe whether the aggravation is going to be too deep or too prolonged. There are many signs in the chest in such cases to make a physician doubt whether he will give deep remedy when organic disease is present then begin in such cases for anybody or anything (Kent). This view has also been held by dr.Underhill when he advocated for the use of low Potency in cases where cure is impossible and only palliation is required as in cancer.
In bad hearts high potency may give a bad reaction. It may be necessary to use tincture
One should not give a high potency immediately before a crisis or during paroxysms or convulsions
In acute diarrhoea and lower Potencies are preferable and should be taken dry from which is indeed important.
For the low grade disorders or when the disorder is apparently limited to structures and tissues out side the mental and nervous functions, low Potencies often cure speedily.
In gastric complaints use low Potencies it is for this reason nutritive medicine like Calc phos or Nat Mur are most efficacious in low Potencies

In mental diseases manifestly psychic origin the high potency 10 m and upward is to be used and that for grossly material condition marked organic patholgical changes, lower or medium Potencies would be selected.
Medicines in low Potencies are required during fever as the physician may be required to repeat the medicine every now and then in accordance with the intensity of the disease high or higher Potencies are very useful in acute phase of chronic diseases and in curable cases.
Low Potencies are more useful in all diseases of mucus membrane particularly of the bronchia and the lungs and all chronic diseases of liver.
In all nerve cases the individual remedy should be given in a high potency which means in an infinitely small quantity.
High potencies have a place in pregnancy. These Potencies are normally used for constitutional treatment and we all know that the pregnancy affords the best time for such treatment Kent has also said that We should keep high Potencies at finger tip while dealing with a case of haemorrhage.
In active skin eruption like itch, scabies recent and active eczema urticaria allergy etc low Potencies are to be given. Similarly cases of advanced organic or metabolic disorders like organic cardiac lesion diabetes etc are to be treated with low Potencies.
If the symptoms have been suppressed at the the peripheral and the disease has been driven to the centre, high and highest Potencies will be more useful, but if the symptoms are already on the surface i.e in case of skin eruptions one must be very cautious in prescribing high Potencies especially drug like Sulphur.
When there are gross tissue changes in the acute or last stage of chronic diseases low Potencies are rather palliative than curative, the time of cure is long passed.
The nature of suffering
If the suffering is intense high potency
If the suffering is mild low Potency
If the disease is of a general nature I.e affecting whole patient high potency
If the disease is of a local nature low Potency.
More prominent the physical symptoms low to medium Potency
The stage of disease
If the disease is at functional stage high potency
If the disease has reached the pathological stage low to medium Potency
The grosser the pathological changes the lower Potency.

Nature of the medicine
The nature of the medicine includes of substance in preparation of the medicine, the type of proving done and the type of symptoms produced.
If the drug substance from which the medicine is prepared is an inert substance such as Carbo veg, Nat Mur, Lyc etc, usually medium to high Potencies work well.
Poorly or partially proved medicines prescribed on partial symptoms picture should always be used in low Potencies. This rule will apply to drugs like Ornithogalum, Crategous , Hydrastis, Carduus mar, Ficus indica, Calc flr etc.
The medicines which are not properly proved should be given inlow.
Podophyllum 200 is quite useless in the Constipation of children where as 6 th worked spendidly. In high fever of children with threatening or actual convulsions that 6 th Potency increased fits and fever while 30 and 200 without any aggarvations at all.diarrhoea of Bryonia responded well with 3rd to 6 th Potency. But in the usual Constipation of Bryonia Potencies above 30 are Excellent.
Certain medicines act best both in high or low Potencies while others do not develop curative Power below certain Potency.there are medicines which are mostly given in low Potency mother tincture and also in some cases the action of the medicine varies according to the Potency. A study of some of the medicines will act as a guide in selection of the Potency. Here I will realise the value of the Two statements of two physicians dr Nash and Dr. Kent.

Homoeopathic treatment for clear skin

Homeopathic Treatment for Clear skin

The skin can lose its glow and get dull and discoloured. Sun exposure, Chloasma, freckles and scars due to acne are just a few reasons. Although not a life-threatening issue, people with dull and darkened facial skin usually consider it a life-altering one, leading to feelings of inadequacy and decreased self-confidence. This, in most cases, leads to the haphazard use of cosmetics and medicated ointments. However, only temporary results are usually found and in some cases injudicious use of such products may even aggravate the condition.
This brings us to the scope of Homeopathic treatment in such cases. We can confidently say that homeopathic remedies for clear and glowing skin are totally free from any side effects and are extremely effective in treating this problem. The medicines used are all natural and, thus, free from any harmful components. Their selection is based upon the individual constitution of the patient, and success is attained by employing the constitutional remedy internally. No external application is applied or recommended.
As the condition has arisen due to a disturbance in the internal balance of the body and not due to any external factor, the medicine too must work from inside to clear the skin. This result is gained through homeopathic remedies which raise the inner vitality of the person and throw out any noxious agent in the body which may be the cause behind dull and discoloured skin. The result—fair, clear and glowing skin is regained.
Top Homeopathic Remedies for clear and glowing skin
Berberis Aquifolium – Top homeopathic remedy for clear facial complexion
Berberis Aquifolium is a natural homeopathic remedy that attains the uppermost rank in homeopathy for clearing facial complexion. Berberis Aquifolium can be used in all the cases where the skin is dark or has scars due to acne or any other conditions. This medicine never fails to bring a glow to the skin and lighten the complexion. I consider it as the first choice of medicine in cases where a clear facial complexion is desired. It has shown very promising results, and given complete satisfaction to my patients as well as me. To sum up, I would call Berberis Aquifolium a ‘precious gem’ in homeopathy to attain fair, clear and glowing skin.
Sulphur – A wonderful homeopathic medicine that can clear dull and dirty skin
Another wonderful homeopathic treatment for attaining clear skin is Sulphur. This medicine has gained much popularity and acclaim in homeopathic treatment for various skin troubles. Sulphur is a deep-acting remedy that helps in removing the very core of the affliction. Sulphur is used when the skin is unhealthy, looks dirty and dull, or is dry and scaly. Sulphur helps to make the skin healthy and nourishes the skin to give it a glow. Sulphur is also prescribed for various eruptions (mostly pimples with dull and dirty look). This remedy helps in clearing pimples and any scars left by them. Apart from dirty and dull skin, the person may have excessive heat in the whole body, especially in the palms, soles of the feet, in the face or in the head. An extra craving for sweets may be shown by subjects who need Sulphur. A dislike towards washing the skin and bathing may be found in cases ideal for using Sulphur. Lastly, persons coming for homeopathic treatment after the injudicious use of external applications of different varieties (including medicated soaps and ointments) should be given no remedy other than Sulphur. Here Sulphur will help in bringing out the most prominent symptoms individual to a person which will serve as a guide towards finding a suitable remedy.
Psorinum – This homeopathic remedy is ideal for clearing the complexion in subjects with oily/greasy/ dark facial skin
Psorinum is the appropriate homeopathic remedy for people with oily or greasy facial skin which has a dark and dirty look. The face may also show pimples due to highly active oil-producing sebaceous glands on the face. Here Psorinum will help to clear the pimples and dark skin and control the excessive oiliness of the skin. Psorinum will deep-cleanse the skin pores on the face making it oil-free, clear and glowing. High sensitivity towards cold air may be found in persons needing Psorinum. Offensive perspiration may also be a complaint.
Bovista – This is the best solution for clearing damaged skin caused by the haphazard use of cosmetics products
Facial pimples, dark skin or any other skin affection caused by the injudicious use of cosmetic products can benefit from the use of the homeopathic remedy Bovista which is used to clear the skin. Bovista holds a significant place among homeopathic medicines for the treatment of skin problems consequent to the excessive use of cosmetics. Bovista helps in clearing facial skin and makes it look bright and glowing. It also removes pimples or other afflictions resulting from the use of cosmetics.
Sepia – An excellent homeopathic remedy for clearing skin that has discoloured due to Chloasma
Chloasma refers to brown or black discoloration on the skin of the face, mainly seen in women during pregnancy or in women with hormonal imbalance and menstrual irregularities. Chloasma may also be the resultant outcome of liver disease. The best homeopathic remedy for clearing Chloasma is Sepia. Sepia work wonders in ladies who have black or brown spots on the face during or post pregnancy. It also works well for women who have discoloration on the face due to uterine afflictions and irregular menstrual cycle of varying degrees. Most women who need Sepia in Chloasma show marked discoloration on the nose and the cheeks. Sepia always shows the best results in such cases of Chloasma. No other treatment can equal it in clearing these discoloured Chloasma spots and returning the healthy glowing charm of the skin, without any side effects.
Silicea and Kali Bromatum—homeopathic remedies for clearing facial scars resulting from pimples
Both these remedies are recommended for a clear skin and for removing scars caused by pimples. Silicea is mainly recommended where deep-seated acne containing pus have resulted in disfiguring scars on the face. It also works where deep pits on the face have resulted from acne. Silicea shows great promise in clearing these pits and scars and making the skin clear. Kali Bromatum is useful in cases where hard indurated pimples have resulted in facial scarring and discolouration. Kali Bromatum works well in clearing scars and bringing back fairness that has been lost due to disfiguring scars, to the skin.
Natrum Mur, Lycopodium and Phosphorus – Homeopathic remedies for clearing skin affected with freckles
Freckles refer to pigmentation on the skin, usually on the face, occurring due to prolonged exposure to the sun. This is due to a collection of melanin pigment under the skin resulting in discoloured spots on the face and other skin areas that have been exposed to the sun. The spots may vary from brown to black in colour. These medicines are always selected according to the constitution of the patient and help to remove freckles and make the skin clean and clear. The constitutional symptoms are all different and peculiar for each of these medicines. A few symptoms are listed below:
A person who needs Natrum Mur has hot temperament with intolerance to the heat of the sun. He may also crave salty things. Usually the person is reserved in nature and may show a tendency to weep easily.
The constitutional symptoms for selecting Lycopodium include a desire for sweets or warm food and warm drinks. Chronic gastric troubles of varying character may also be found in subjects needing Lycopodium.
Phosphorus may be needed when a person has a craving for ice-creams, juices or cold drinks. Such a person is also sensitive to external impressions like noise, light and odours.
These are only glimpses of the symptoms, out of a huge list of constitutional symptoms. Apart from these many other symptoms may need to be considered before selecting these remedies. That is where a good homeopath comes in. He will ask for details and work on a comprehensive case study before deciding the medicine most appropriate for you.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is non inflammatory, disease of skin characterized by well defined thick, red patches covered by larged, adherent, silvery scale, found especially in areas like scalp elbows ankle nails knees palms trunk back and in rare cases the whole body is affected. In Infants the napkin area is the most common affected site.
In psoriasis pathogenic T cells are activated, thereby releasing chemicals that causes the inflammation and leads to an abnormal growth of skin and the sweeling of the blood vessels underneath. When these Two cells are activated they behave like they are fighting a wound and in turn release a lot of chemical signals which causes the skin to have abnormal growth. So, the skin build up more than it can shed, thus causing a plaque of psoriasis.
It can occur at any age but, is more prevalent in people with metabolic disorders like diabetes and those who suffer from increased triglycerides and cardiovascular diseases.
Factors like stress, high blood pressure extreme cold temperature
and trauma ( koebner phenomenon attributed to German dermatologist Heinrich Kobner, which referes to skin lesions caused due to trauma) also trigger this condition. People suffering from metabolic syndrome ( obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia insulin resistance) are at a higher risk of this disease because of the presence of similar pro inflammatory mediators.
Types of psoriasis
Plaque psoriasis the most common form of this condition, manifests as a red patches covered with silvery white build up of dead skin cells or scales. This is typically seen on the sclap, knees elbow and lower back. Itchy and painful, these scales may even crack and bleed.
Guttate psoriasis which manifests as a small red lesions on the skin, is mostly seen in children and it is caused due to respiratory or throat infections. It can apear all over the body.
Pustula psoriasis comprising white pustules surrounded by red skin is mostly seen on the palms and soles.
Inverse psoriasis mainifests as red lesions mainly in skin folds ( like the groin and in armpits) where there is a lot of friction.
In nail psoriasis the hard surface on top of the nails starts losing keratin cells. As a result pits form over the nails.it can also destroy the nail bed.
20 percent people develop psoriatics arthritis. It can also affect one or two major joints like shoulder knees or the spine. Depending on the joints which are affected the patient might be first experience morning stiffness which can last up to half an hour. If joints become swollen, red and tender and are not treated adequately, it can lead to permanent immobility.

Children Diarrhoea

Diarrhoea is the frequnt and repeated of stool or liquid bowel movements, excessive watery evacuation of faecal material.
Causes
There are many causes which canbe divided into major categories,
Infectious and non infectious.
Infectious causes of diarrhoea are a result of abnormal microorganism invading the bowel. Non infectious causes of diarrhoea result from disturbance of the normal function of the bowel in absorbing fluids contained within it.
Infectious causes can be further sub divided as follows
Bacteria for e.g. clostridium difficile, E coli, salmonella ( agents of typhoid fever) Shigella ( cause of epidemic bacillary dysentery/ campylobactor (another food handler is contaminant) gastro enteritis and enteric fever from contaminated food products and vibrio cholerae ( agent of cholera )
Viruses. There are many kinds of viruses that are capable of causing diarrhoea in children and Infants. During the first five years of life Mostly all children acquire Rotavirus ( which causes inflammation of the stomach and bowels to cause diarrhoea.)
Parasites A number of parasites are also known to cause diarrhoea in children and adults like.
Cryptosporidium ( especially in immune deficient children.)
Entamoeba histolytica ( causing amoebic dysentery)
Giardia Lambila.
Non infectious causes of diarrhoea can be further divided as follows.
Anatomical defects of the bowel (insteinal tract)
Hormonal imbalances (endocrinopathies)
Feeding difficulties
Malabsorption
Tumor.
Miscellaneous causes.
Anatomic defects capable of causing diarrhoea include.
Malrotation of the bowel ( when twisted)
Duplications of a section of the intestine.
Hirschsprung disease is an abnormal condition present at birth which is due to the absence of normal nerves ( ganglia) in the bowel wale. This results in enlargement of the bowel above the point of missing nerves.
At times, new born babies and Infants suffer from physiological diarrhoea due to the gastrocolic reflux which is normal.Such conditions include passage of frequent formed stool or stools immediately after feeds. An exclusively breast fed baby often passes frequent watery stools which is golden yellow in colour and non offinsive, inspite of passing several stools he is happy, hungry and gains good weight. But if there is mucous or the stools are offinsive and the baby is not looking well then medical intervention is required.
Some Homoeopathic medicines
Podophyllum This is very well suited to Infants with a bilious tendency, it is indicated when stools are watery, yellowish, green profuse and with a jelly like substance in it . At times there is billous vomiting along with diarrhoea accompanied by a lot of rumbling and shifting pain in the stomach because of flatus, which makes the abdomen full like a balloon.( It is especially useful in teething diarrhoea of children)
Podophyllum 200 ,3 pills one hourly should be given for acute attacks till it settles the stomach. Then follow with Podophyllum 30 , five pills four times a day for a month to improve the infant's digestion.
Nat Sul This is indicated when a diarrhoea is due to eating fruits, vegetables, cold food and drinks in rainy season. Normally the Child suffers from morning diarrhoea that settles down by noon. The urge to pass a stool drives the Child out of bed initially there is rumbling and gurgling in the bowels with sudden noisy spluttering greenish stools.
Nat Sul 200 , 3 pills every three hours should be given. Once the attack settles down then Nat Sul 30 , five pills four times a day for a month is necessary to improve and help digestion.
