Keloid scar


Keloids can be considered to be scars that don't know when to stop. Keloid,  sometimes referred to as a keloid scar, is a tough heaped up scar that rises quite abruptly above the rest of the skin. It usually has a smooth top and a pink or purple colour. Keloids are irregularly shaped and tend to enlarge progressively. Unlike scars.
Drs do not understand exactly why keloids form. Alternations in the cellular signals that control proliferation and inflammation may be related to the process of keloid formation, but these changes have not yet been characterised sufficiently to explain this defect in wound healing.
Individuals with darkly pigmented skin are more likely to develop keloids with those of African, Hispanic and Asian ethnicity are greatest risk.
Keloids are equally common in women and men. Keloids are less common in children and elderly. Though people with darker skin are more likely to develop them, keloids can occur in people of all skin types. In some cases, the tendency to form keloids seems to run in families.
Keloids develop most often on the chest, shoulders and earlobes. They seldom develop on the face.
A keloid has a characteristic microscopic appearance and may be distinguished from a hypertrophic scar and a dermatofibroma.
Keloids are raised over growth of scar tissue that occur at the site of a skin injury. They occur where trauma, surgery, blisters, vaccination,  acne,  or body piercing have injured the skin. Less commonly keloids may form in places where the skin has not had a visible injury. Keloids differ from normal mature scars in composition and size. Some people are prone to keloid formation and may develop them in several places.
When keloid is associated with a skin incision or injury after the original wound has closed, becoming larger and more visible until it reaches a final size. They generally occur between 10 and 35 years of age and affects both sexes.
Symptoms
Keloids usually appear in areas of previous trauma but may extend beyond the injured area. They are shiny, smooth and rounded skin elevations that may be pink, purple, or brown. They can be doughy or firm and rubbery to the touch and they often feel itchy, tender, or uncomfortable. They may be unsightly. A large keloid in the skin over a joint may interfere with joint function.
Diagnosis
A dr. diagnoses a keloid on the basis of its appearance and a history of tissue injury, such as surgery, acne or body piercing. In rare cases, the doctor may remove a small piece of the skin to examine under a microscope. This is called biopsy.
Keloids may continue to grow slowly for weeks, months or years. They eventually stop growing but do not disappear on their own. Once a keloid develops, it is permanent unless removed or treated successfully. It is common for keloid that have been removed or treated to return.
Keloids are harmless, cosmetic problems that do not become cancerous. Once keloids stops growing, it is usually remains stable unless the area is injured again.

Homoeopathic treatment
Thiosinaminum 3 x or 6 x. is one of the most effective medicines to treat keloids. This natrual homoeopathic medicine is very strong and powerful enough to dissolve the scar tissue. It can be prescribed for the treatment of all kinds of keloids irrespective of the cause..
Graphites This medicine of great help for the early stage of keloids formation. Graphites acts very effectively in the very beginning of keloid formation to absorb the scar tissue and dissolve the keloid.
Siliceia  an excellent natural medicine to deal with keloids that are painful. Siliceia has a great power to decrease the pain and dissolve the unnecessary cicatricial tissue resulting in formation of keloids excessive offensive sweat on feet and sensitivity towards cold air may be present..
Acid Nit.  A few patients having keloids may also have sharp pain that feels like splinters. The keloids looks irregular in shape highly offensive urine.
Floric Acid  This drug is best natrual mode of treatment for keloids that itch. The itching disappears following the use of this remedy. Keloids also begins to shrink with the use of this remedy. The itching may get worse by heat.
Causticum  this remedy for keloid formation following burns. It works well in treatment both keloid formation and when old burn scars resurface and re freshen leading to keloids..
Calendula
This can be used in all cases of keloids that have formed following skin injury either due to accidental trauma or cuts from surgical operations. Calendula tincture application over the affected traumatic side as soon as possible. In such cases Calendula makes sure to heal the wound by first intention with least possible scar tissue formation, scar disappears its own and there is no chance of its over growth.
Thuja
An ideal homoeopathic medicine for treating keloids at vaccination sites is Thuja. This remedy is very beneficial as a treatment for keloids that are formed at vaccination sites.
Tuberculinum use as an intercurrent remedy.
Calc flour For dissolving scar tissue.

Pituitary tumour

Pituitary gland is a pea size gland at the base of brain. The pituitary is the master control gland,  it makes hormones of other glands in the body it grow slowly do not spread and is usually not cancerous. The most common type of pituitary tumour produces hormones and disrupts the balance of hormones in the body. This can cause endocrine diseases, such as Cushing's syndrome and hyperthyroidism, symptoms are
Headache
Vision problems
Nausea and vomiting
Any of the problems caused by the production of too many hormones. Pituitary tumours are usually curable.

Pituitary gland tumours.... Sometimes called Adenomas, are usually bengin (non cancerous). Symptoms can be caused by a tumour producing, extra hormones or by not producing enough hormones. Others symptoms can be caused by the tumour pressing on the optic (eye) nerve.
Patients suffering from pituitary gland tumour may experience the following symptoms. Patients with a pituitary gland tumour do not have any of these changes, or, the  cause of a Symptom may be a different medical condition that is not a pituitary gland tumour.
Headache
Vision problems
Unexplained tiredness
Irritability
Changes in menstrual cycles in women.
Impotence, which is the inability to achieve or maintain an erections in men and is caused by hormone changes.
Inappropriate breasts growth or production of breast milk.
Cushing's syndrome,  a combination of weight gain, high blood pressure, diabetes, and easy bruising that is caused by over producing of ACTH.
Acromegaly, enlargement of the extremities or limbs and thickening of the skull and jaw caused by too much growth hormone.
Growth hormone. The symptoms depend on a patient's age, in children, before the bone plates have closed, increased growth can cause gigantism which is excessive body size and height. In adults, increased growth hormone causes Acromegaly a syndrome that includes excessive growth of soft tissues and bones, sleep apnea, increased snoring, carpal tunnel syndrome, and pain, including headache.
Thyroid stimulating hormone
(TSH )  too much TSH causes increased production of thyroid hormone. This can lead to nervousness and irritability, fast heart rate and high blood pressure, heart disease, increased sweating, thin skin and weight loss..
Prolactin
Too much prolactin, a hormone that stimulates lactation and the secretion of progesterone, causes inappropriate secretion of breasts milk, even in men. It can also cause osteoporosis, which is weaking of the bones, loss of sex drive, infertility, irregular menstrual cycle and Impotence..
Adrenocorticotropic hormone.
Too much this hormone causes weight gain, high blood pressure and high blood sugar, stretch marks on skin.
Gonadotropins (FSH and LH) 
These are usually not high enough to cause symptoms but can, in rare cases, cause infertility and irregular menstrual cycles in women.
TSH low causes fatigue, low energy sensitivity to cold temperatures constipation and weight gain.
ACTH  too little of this hormone causes fatigue and low energy low blood pressure low sugar levels and upset stomach.
Homoeopathic medicines
Thyriodinum 3 x or 6 x thrice a
day excessive activity of the pituitary gland and fibroids tumours in the pituitary gland.
Hekla lava tumour of the pituitary gland.
Tuberculinum  A dose of 200 potency should be given at the disease commencement of the treatment. This will arrest the disease and cure the headache which is so common in pituitary tumour.
Calc carb Headache with vertigo on turning the head. Heaviness and painful pressure extending into the nose stitching pain in the brain.
Calc flour and Cal phos these both must be tried when Calc carb fails.

Mere iod  it arrests and absorbs bony brain pituitary tumour.
Kali iod  Light the pain through the sides of the head over the eyes and nose.
Hypericum Slow developing pituitary tumour activated by traumatism.
Thuja  Pituitary tumours with intense migraine and headache. Patient is emotional, sensitive, irritable. Likes cold bath, liking for acid and salty food. Flatulence with rumbling in abdomen, constipation, sweat on forehead and arms.
Blindness due to paralysis of the optic nerve.
Cyclamen vision reduced by Suppression of itches, cloudiness or veil before the eyes. Smoke or fog before the eyes.
Iodium sudden loss of vision due to pituitary tumour
Cocculus ind dim sightendness and disturbance of vision paralytic weakness of the muscles of the eyes.

Constitutional make up part 2

Syphilitic or Oxygenoid constitution.
A typical syphilitic child shows the following manifestation, which are as a result of the Constitutional effects of the venereal miasm, syphilis.
The syphilitic child is hot and likes cold application and cold food and is worse by warmth,,
The child is dull, stupid, sluggish, idiotic, does not want to talk much or answer,  a closed mouthed individual Lack of sensitiveness, anxiety or fear surely indicates presence of this miasm,,
All symptoms are aggravated from sunset to sunrise,  better during day and by appearance of axillary or foot sweat,,
As this constitution is characterised by excess of oxygen in the tissues, the child suffers when there is increased ozone in atmosphere, before a strom or rain and by consuming animal foods which oxidise easliy,,
This miasm produce structural changes and manifests its effects through ulcers and destruction of tissues and when combined with psora it produces tubercular diathesis which shows combined symptoms of both the miasms,,
The syphilitic child,  unlike the psoric counter part, has a moist skin and perspires a great deal, perspiration does not afford relief in most symptoms,,
Dull headache comes at night and is relieved in the morning. The headache is accompanied by coldness of the body. The typical modalities of this miasm, namely, worse by warmth, rest, exertion, riding and better by cold applications,  motion and by nose bleed play upon the child's headache also. The child bores head into the pillow. The head of the syphilitic child is large and bulging with moist and gluey hair. The complexion is greasy.,,
The vertigo of this miasm starts in the base of the brain,,
The eyes, ears and nose show marked ulcerations. The ears are large and lobes of ears are pale white and transparent. Loss of smell, frequent Epistaxis, shuffles and dark greenish or black scabs and crusts in nose which when dislodged leave a raw surface are the oft found manifestation of this miasm,,,
The syphilitic children have irregular and deformed teeth. Tooth decay, gum boils, pyorrhoea and ulcers in the mouth are the common manifestation of the miasm. Every time the child cuts a tooth, he gets very sick. Often there is metallic taste in the mouth.,,
Enlarged adenoids and tonsils are usually found in this miasm,,
The syphilitic child is averse to meat,  but generally has good appetite,,,
The children afflicted with this miasm are prone to watery diarrhoea especially of the cholera infantum type and are quickly depleted of the vital fluids,,
As syphilis affects long bones, there are nightly pains in the children and have the peculiar modalities of this miasm,,
The syphilitic children have paper thin, spoon shaped nails, and
The children get pustular eruptions about joints and in flexures of body. The eruptions generally appear in crescentric formation and are coopery or brownish in colour. These eruptions, strangely enough do not itch nor produce soreness.

Pseudo psoric or Tubercular constitution.
This constitution also proves that the apparent outward manifestation of Tubercular diathesis outward manifestations of Tubercular diathesis stem from an underlying condition. Much before the Bacillus appears in the sputum, the child shows the symptoms of tuberculosis which if untreated develop into the dreadful disease. It is the prerogative of Homoeopathy to perceive a child's condition and evaluate the future complications that are sure to arise as a result of his inheritance of different Miasmatic traits and treat him in time to save him from the grave consequences thereof during adulthood. Thus the trouble can be scientifically and systematically nipped in the bud right in the childhood. Some of the salient features of this mixed miasm are as follows,,,
The child is very susceptible to cold, catches cold, with every change of weather and is better by warmth. The child gets tired soon and has a tendency to lie down,,,
The mental picture of the Tubercular child is usually that of syphilis, that is,  the child is slow of comprehension,  dull, unable to think, is unsocial and keeps to himself.
The Tubercular child has aggravation of almost all the symptoms at night. Sudden crying of the child in sleep at night indicates the mixed miasm. The patient is ameliorated by natrual sweat, profuse urination,  diarrhoea and by the breaking out of an ulcer,,,
The Tubercular child has a round face, clear complexion, sparkling eyes, red lips and narrow and shallow chest. During fever, these children have a pale face and circumscribed redness on the cheek bones. Very often the child is plump,,
Persistent headaches and marked vertigo are present in this constitution. Headache in children on Sunday or holidays when away from school and usual studies.,
Moist eruptions on scalp and eczema about and behind the ears with thick offensive pus are found to be a result of the mixed Miasms,,
The Tubercular child has thick greenish or greenish yellow discharge from the eye,  nose and ears. The ear discharge is a sure indication of this Miasmatic combination and is in fact a safety valve of the childhood. As long as the discharge continues, the child is free of an internal trouble,  but once suppressed it can lead to terribletth internal turmoil, the discharge from the nose smells of old cheese,,
There is putrid, sweet or salty taste in the mouth and the saliva is ropy with a bloody taste.,,
The tubercular child has a cannie hunger so that the child feels hungry soon after a full meal. The cravings are of a psoric origin, that after a full meal. The cravings are of a psoric origin, that is, for acids, sweets, salt and indigestible things.
The child being susceptible to cold, develops a deep hoarse cough on least exposure to cold,  The expectoration is greenish yellow and tastes sweet or salty..,,
The tubercular children cannot digest cow's milk and usually suffer from diarrhoea which is slimy bloody with a musty smell, followed by extreme prostration. The diarrhoea usually comes at night or the early morning and is worse by cold. Generally, there is an alteration of Symptoms of the rectum with those of the chest and lungs especially in case of asthma,,,
The syphilitic origin of the Constitution shows up in the form of strictures, fistulae and sinuses in the rectum,,
The tubercular children have weak wrist and ankle joints and therfore, cannot hold anything properly, and easily stumble down,,
The children have irregular and brittle nails which break and spilt easily and have white specks over them,,,
The corns, hypertrophies, hernia, urticaria, impetigo, lymphatic involvement and varicose Veins are of tubercular origin. In the children affected by this Miasmatic combination, even the slight wounds heal very slowly, and,,,
Bed wetting in children specially during sleep and soon after falling asleep has its origin in pseudo psora..

Sycotic or hyderogenoid constitution
This venereal miasm shows the constitutional effects of the suppressed gonorrhocal discharge and the hygroscopic nature of the blood resulting in water logged condition of the system. This miasm when present generally indicates the presence of other two miasms as well and then results in worst forms of degenerancy, insanity malignancies etc. The prominent manifestations of this constitution are as follows,,,
The sycotic child is chilly and likes warmth,,,
This miasm causes infiltration and over growths in the form of tumour, cysts, hard swelling etc,,
All symptoms of this constitution are aggravated during the day and before or during rain or thunderstorms, and ameliorated by elimination through the mucous surfaces such as nasal discharge. The child cannot live near the sea,  lakes, rivers or cold basements, nor can it partake aquatic plants and animals as these arouse the sycotic manifestations to a terrible degree.
The sycotic child is irritable,  suspicious, mean, selfish, jealous, quarrelsome and bent upon mischief. He is given to fits of anger and is cruel to other children and animals. The child is unable to collect his thoughts and therfore cannot express fluently and is short of suitable words to express the idea,,
The child has a pasty complexion with a red nose and moles and warts on face,,,
The sycotic headache usually appears on the vertex accompanied by feverishness, restlessness,  fretting and crying, better by motion and worse lying down at night,,
All discharges of sycotic are greenish or greenish yellow, scanty and with odour of fish brine,,,

The sycotic child is given frequently to colicky pains, gripping and tenesmus which generally precede diarrhoea and make the child bend double. The colic are better by hard pressure and from lying on abdomen, the child usually wants to be carried or rocked. The diarrhoea is acrid and corrosive and the stools are gushing, ejaculated forcibly and with noise,,
Spasmodic contraction of urethra resulting in painful urination so that the child screams before urination is sycotic in nature,,, 
The sycotic child is prone to the attacks of rheumatic fever and rheumatic pains in joints on being drenched in rain or during cold damp weather. These pains are worse during rest and better by moving or stretching,,,
The skin is thickened and eruptions occur in circumscribed spots. Over growth in the forms of moles, warts and patches are found in this miasm. The nails of the sycotic child are ribbed or thick and heavy, and,,
The sycotic children develop stuffy nose and nasal stoppage due to thickening of mucous membranes and enlargement of the bones. The discharge is usually scanty and the child is greatly relived by even the slightest discharge.

Other Miasmatic combinations

There are a number of permutations and combinations of the basic miasms discussed above which result in varying symptoms and often provide clue to the presence of more than one miasm. Thus the following manifestations are found in different Miasmatic combinations besides the pseudo psora which has been discussed earlier.
Moral insanity resulting in criminality is a combination of psora and sycosis. Such patients are sullen, smouldering,  threatening to break out into dangerous manifestations,,, 
Hay fever,  malignancy, diabetes,  insanity, psoriasis, chilblains, Erysipelas, fish scale eruptions, lupus and epithelioma indicate the presence of all the three miasms,,,
Cardiac disturbance with changes in the organic structure are a combination of either psora sycosis or syphilis sycosis and
Condylomata and pointed papillary growth reveal the presence of both syphilis and sycosis.

Constitutional make up part 1

Ft Viral No knowledge is perfect unless it includes an understanding of the origin that is, the beginning, and all man's diseases originate in his constitution, it is necessary that his condition should be known if we wish to know his diseases.
       Dr. Paracelsus.

In our day to day life, we come across children who are different in many ways, that is,  some children are restless, quick and intelligent, some are dull or even idiotic, while some others are suspicious and delight in inflicting pain on others. Again some children are highly susceptible to disease while others are fairly resistant to it. Why does one child suddenly develop dry barking cough on slightest exposure to cold wind or on taking cold water while the other is not the least affected by any weather change or dietetic irregularity ?  We must answer this question before we understand what is to be treated in a child.
Obviously, the child who develops cough,  is susceptible to cold wind and the susceptibility in him is not an overnight phenomenon but it came much before the child gathered the mass of flesh and blood, it lay in the invisible labyrinths of the zygote. The susceptibility became a part of his constitution which he acquired from his parents, grand parents and great grandparents or still in the deeper past. The innocent child must bear the brunt of the evil thought and actions of his ancestors and be a living testimony to the reactions of the actions of his ancestors. He only reveals the hidden and latent imprints of their personality.
Dr Samuel Hahnemann spent precious twenty years of his life to understand the Constitutions and the underlying factors,  which were excited by trifling irregularities in diet and living,  to be aroused to dangerous implications. He called these basic underlying conditions as Miasms. Dr. H. A. Roberts prefers to call them stigma. These are Psora,  Syphilis and Sycosis,  Psora being the oldest and the all pervasive miasm as it started in the form of evil thinking and is the most vicious scourer of the mankind. Syphilis and Sycosis could only come as they had a base of Psora to be grafted on,  and are manifest form of evil actions of man. While these will be discussed in detail later,  it is necessary to understand that the most simple and the most complex disease manifestations are as a result of the individual or combination of these miasms. Therefore,  the most treacherous diseases like cancer,  insanity, leprosy and diabetes attacks only when all the three miasms combine in a man.
Dr. Von Grouvogl,  with a sound knowledge of the human chemistry and chemical interactions, has preferred to group the basic constructions as Carbo nitrogenoid,  oxygenoid,  and hydrogenoid depending upon the excess of the essential elements of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen.
Dr. Venier studied the subtle changes wrought by the miasms in the human body and postulated carbonic, Phosphorica and flourica constitutions. Yet some others have named them as a scrofula, Syphilis and gout. Whatever be the names, the three monsters play on the human mind and the body with the same force and wickedness to cause innumerable maladies regardless of age, sex and creed. Besides, their manifestations are so varied that these seem to be apparently unlinked but these are woven with the same thread. Thus, itch and asthma appear to be two different maladies but are in fact two heads of the same multi headed monster Psora.. But the mother nature is kind as, it reveals the nature of these monsters in the form of signs and symptoms,  exciting factors,  affections of the will and understanding, etc,  which guide as intelligent and perceiving physician to cure these rationally. Besides,  the nature has created the positive counterparts in medicines against the negative forces of disease so that the matching therapeutic tools can vitiate the forces of disease.
The role of a homoeopathician is that of a match maker,  that is,  to match the force of disease with that of the medicine (which should be similar in nature, power and depth) so that these neutralize each other on the dynamic plane.
In order to cure various diseases rationally, it is necessary to understand these devastating forces and to meet them with such dynamic medicinal forces that these can be annihilated rapidly, gently and permanently. In order to understand the nature of the Miasms, the totality of the symptoms provides a strong and unshakable base. As these miasms affect the mind and the physical body in their peculiar manner and in varying degrees, the mental and general symptoms are of great value in arriving at the most appropriate medicine. In children, the disease forces are more pronounced and clear than those in adults. As such it is a lot easier to treat in childhood, which is also the most appropriate period in man's life for constitutional treatment.
Strangely enough, as we find in our day to day practice, a child who needs say L as a constitutional remedy,  will often show all the symptoms of this remedy in various ailments as if the child is proving it in his life. He will suffer from only those maladies which fall into the broad gamut of the remedy which may be a part of the overall disease picture of the miasm.
Until the child receives this remedy, he will continue to be subject to the acute exacerbations and chronic manifestations which flow out from a particular miasm. The subject of the Constitutions,  therefore assumes a great importance. Till the roots of a tree are treated, the removal of the diseased branches appears to be a temporary solution, till the queen white ant is destroyed, the removal of the white Ant hillock is an impossiblity.
Origin of Miasms
While the non venereal miasm psora has its roots in the deep past, the two venereal Miasms namely, syphilis and sycosis are recent origin. The psora represents evil thinking which precedes evil action of impure coition. The latter miasms are,  therefore, of relatively recent origin, though their virulence is increasing with each generation. For instance, during Dr. Hahnemann's time, the sycosis was rare, but it has assumed inestimable proportions in our times and shows predominance of worst criminals which would otherwise be an impossibility if sycosis were not grafted on psora. The psora started as an itch,  which when suppressed assumed various forms from asthma to insanity. The other two miasms show constitutional effects of the suppressed chancer and the gonorrhoeal discharge.
The psoric itches and appears unclean and washed. The syphilitic Ulcerates, and the body structure is changed. The sycotic infiltrates and corroded by its discharges. Again, when suppressed, psora spends its force upon the nervous system largely or upon nerve centers, often producing nervous and mental phenomena of a serious character, all ameliorated when an eruption is thrown upon the skin. The syphilis flies to the meninges of the brain, to the larynx,  throat in general, eyes, bones and periosteum. Sycosis attacks the internal organs,  especially the pelvic and sexual organs in the worst specific forms of inflammation producing hypertrophies, abscesses, cystic degeneration, mucous cysts and when thrown upon the brain it produces headache,  severe acute mania,  central insanity, moral degenerancy,  dishonesty etc. Psora itself is not capable of any structural change in any organ but when combined with any of the venereal miasms manifests dangerous effects. Thus, when it combines with Sycosis, moral degeneration and moral insanity raise their head,  while when all the miasma are combined, the form of malignancy takes hold of the organism.
We therefore have the following four constitutions to understand and treat.
Psoric or carbo nitrogenoid constitution.
Syphilitic or oxygenoid constitution.
Tubercular constitution
Sycotic or hydrogenoid constitution.
The symptoms and signs of the individual unmixed miasms are very clear and can hardly be mistaken by an observant homoeopathician. However, when more than one miasms are present, the preponderance of the symptoms of any one miasm will be found depending upon the nature of the exciting causes, say, Sycosis is aroused before or during a strom or rain.
Psoric or Carbo Nitrogenoid constitution.
Some of the salient features of this constitution are given below. The overall picture of psora should be kept in mind to differentiate it from other miasms or stigma. As psora forms the base, other miasms may be grafted over it and may then classify the symptoms into these Miasmatic divisions. This will not indicate the predominance of any miasm but would also help in assessing the nature of the more troublesome miasm which would be tackled first or a broad based medicine suited for the Miasmatic combination present in a patient should be employed.
The child is chilly and likes warmth, gets easily tired and wants to lie down. Mental and physical exertion prostrates him,
Anxiety,  restlessness, fits,  of anger, intelligence, impatience, fearfulness,  mental activeness, fluen expression owing to rapidly and coherence of thought are important mental symptoms of a psoric child.
Psora by itself cannot produce any structural changes in the organism, it should be combined with syphilis to produce Tubercular diathesis or with Sycosis to cause infiltration and over growths of tissues.
The child has aggravation of all dy from sun rise to sun set, and all pains are better by rest and lying down,
Vertigoes of almost all types and modalities are found in psora. There is aggravation from lying down, motion,  walking, rising from sitting or lying emotional disturbances,  etc, and the child lies down quietly which affords relief.
Headache mostly frontal or temporal coming on in the morning and grows worse as the sun rises and improves with sun set. The headache is better by lying down,  hot applications and rest.
The psoric child is over sensitive to the smell and noise. His senses are acute and he can detect even the faintest smell or whisper. Eyeballs are itching and burning. Intolerance to day light or sunlight. The eyelids are heavy in the morning..
The psoric face is pale and like an inverted pyramid and lips are red and dry. The child looks unclean and unwashed.
The child often complaints of bitter or sweet or sour or the characteristic burnt taste in the mouth.
The psoric child craves sour, sweet and acidic things. In fever, the child craves indigestible things. Often, there is canine hunger or complete anorexia. The child also craves hot food.
There are worm complaints in a psoric child, leading to itching in anus and mind symptoms of fretfulness and irritability,
Stuffy nose and Epistaxis is also found in a psoric child,
The cough is dry and teasing with scanty expectoration without any taste. Short and shallow respiration,
The diarrhoea of a psoric child comes as a result of over eating feels terribly hungry all the time and eats much beyond his capacity. The diarrhoea is usually accompanied by colic and comes in the morning,
In some children,  there is obstinate constipation with small hard stools or there may be alternation of constipation and diarrhoea.,
The child sweats usually on forehead and wets the pillow at night during sleep,  the complaints of grinding the teeth, crying, snoring, constant tossing about from one corner of the bed to the other,  laughing, profuse salivation, etc, are also met with in his constitution. The child may be excessively sleepy,,
Whenever a child gets chill, it results in retention of urine, or sometimes there may be Involuntary urination on coughing or sneezing,,
The skin of a psoric child is dry, rough and dirty, the child hates bathing or washing. There is a tendency to fine dry scales. The scalp is dry and itching with dandruff. A child cannot be comb hair until it is wet or moistened.,,
As a psora produces a number of functional changes in the body it results in numerous deficiency diseases which are reflected in anaemia, poor oxygen circulation, calcium malabsorption, etc,. Hence a psoric child is thin, emaciated and rickety.,,
The child has weak ankle joints and cracking sounds in bones during walking sitting etc,,
For a psoric child, standing is worst position, the child when forced to stand a while would prefer to lean against something.,,
The psoric exacerbation may be aroused by grief, sorrow or fits of anger in a child.,,
The psoric manifestation are ameliorated by the eliminative functions such as diarrhoea, perspiration or a free urination, but not unusual eliminations like nasal discharge,,,
The child is aggravated by excesses of sodium salts like sea salts and is better by ozone and ozonated water and,,
There is unusual suddenness of the acute exacerbations, the child is well one moment and unwell the other moment. The child gets exhausted with the acute attacks and looks terribly ill.

Healthy Baby

Healthy Baby.

Homoeopathic medicines are free from toxicity and side effects and therefore ideal for long term preventive therapy. Homoeopathy streanghtens the body's own forces, thus encouraging homoeostasis in the human system's own relentless fight against disease. Nature has generously gifted us with an internal mechanism and an army of white blood corpuscles ( W.B.C s) which are the best known defence system against the enemies of physical well being.
In their impatience to win the war against the marauding microbe, man and a few immature segments of medical sciences have unwittingly helped to weaken this incredible natrual system. I dread to think of how many of our generation have been doomed to weaker system from the foetal stage itself because of the toxins fed in the genes by the administration of strong medicines to cure minor ailments like diarrhoea, coughs, colds and minor bacterial and skin infections. Even the pregnant mother and the future she carries in her womb are not spared.
Fortunately for mankind today, good senses to be prevailing. A large number of conventional medical practitioners are considering the wisdom of treating certain ailments and conditions with non toxic, homoeostasis orinted medicines like Homoeopathy. For us in different disciplines it is not only a question of swallowing our medical ego, it also means pushing back the boundaries of narrow scientific dogma and the acknowledgement of the universal wisdom that he who heals is right.
Diarrhoea
Of all the aliments of early life, the most deadly is acute infantile diarrhoea, if not controlled immediately, it may lead to fatal complications.
Treatments Mag carb when the child is put on top feeds instead of mother's milk, diarrhoea can set in. There is pain in the abdomen and green frothy stools with undigested milk.
Podophyllum
This medicine prescribe when the child suffers diarrhoea due to infected water, milk or impure food. The stools are watery, profuse and painless with jelly like mucus in it. At times repeated attacks of diarrhoea may even lead to prolapse of the rectum.
Colic
This is one of the commonest problems among infants and children. They develop flatulence with causes severe pain in the abdomen.
Mag fox 6 x will immediately easy the abdominal distension and pain.
Vomiting
Aethusa  This is given when there's marked inability to digest milk. After having milk the Child feels very uncomfortable expresses uneasiness and discontent and in a short time he vomitis cured like milk.
Ars alb It is recommended in cases of vomiting due to infections caused by impure water, milk, and food or overripe fruits. The Child vomits immediately on eating or drinking, along with the vomit that has been eaten also comes out.
Constipation
At times due to incorrect diet children develop bad Constipation causing a lot of problems. By six months the Child should be given fruits cereals and plenty of water. The quantity milk should be slowly reduced. Yet sometimes even after doing all this the Child remains constipated. Give Calc carb if the baby is fair and plump and has tendency to perspire a lot. Give Graphites if the child is dark with dry unhealthy looking skin and passes stools like small hard marbles which may be so hard that they cause painful cracks in the rectum.
Fissure
When the skin at rectum tears because of dry hard constipated stools, Nitric acid internally and Calendula ointment externally will set it right.
Teething
Normally the teething process stars by the 5 th or 6 th month, during which time children go through various kinds of difficulties Pain and agony.
Homoeopathy has special medicines that give great relief and help in building strong bones and teeth.
Chamomilla When the child is extremely peevish, irritable restless and wants to be carried about and petted constantly, he may develop teething diarrhoea which is greenish in colour with severe abdominal colic 
At times the Child also develop earache with yellowish pus oozing out from the ears.
Calc phos As the name indicates it has calcium and phosphorus, both very essential for the development of bones and teeth. The Child is very thin a tendency towards diarrhoea, but much calmer than the Chamomilla child.
Calc carb again as the name suggests it has calcium which helps in the development of bones and teeth it suits fat flabby and fair children who perspire profusely on the face and around the neck. Remember, they have a tendency towards Constipation.
Injuries
As Child learns to roll in bed or learns to crawl or walk, there are chances of injury. It is always very important to have Arnica around as it takes care of all sorts of injuries and helps in preventing complications due to injuries.
The skin
Rash
Rashes of one kind or another are among the most common occurrence in childhood . They may be due to overheating or overdreesinng, or due to the use of detergents powders, perfumes or oils which cause contact dermatitis. In addition. Certain foods may make the baby break out in facial rashes. Prolonged contact with wet diapers causes diaper rash from from the Ammonia produced by urine.
Eczema
Some children suffer from intermittent eczema which has a tendency to run in families.
Boils
A few children have tendency to suffer from repeated boils which causes a lot of pain and discomfort.
Caution.
Clinical experience has taught us that any skin problem, if suppressed in childhood, leads to a number of complications in later years. These complications may be in the form of certain allergies like chronic colds, coughs bronchitis or even more serious forms of Asthma. It may also lead to chronic gastric problems or chronic skin disorders. Therefore, from the very beginning give your child the best do not use external applications to suppress the rash. Give internal curative Homoeopathic medicines external soothers. Here I will not suggest any medicines because it is very important to treat all types of skin rashes by correct medicines selected by your Homoeopath.
Worms
Due to overpopulation and improper sanitary conditions this is most common problem that infants and children suffer from.
Cina This remedy has proved to be very efficacious, especially when the Child is extremely peevish, keeps on crying especially at night and wakes up with severe itching in the rectum. He is constantly hung, but as soon as he estate gets loose stools, apart from diarrhoea and abdominal pain, he may also suffer from recurrent coughs.
Colds and coughs
Some infants and children suffer from repeated colds and coughs. The cause for these could be any one of many possible factors hereditary, environmental or allergic and the treatment for each is different 
Hereditary factors
Those children whose parents suffer from allergies may inherit these from them.
Environmental factors
Certain children react to different climates or each time there is a change in climate it affects them.
Allergies
Various allergies like foods, drinks soaps powders or any external agent may cause this reaction.
Acquired allergies
Infants and children sometimes develop severe reaction after certain immunisations. The symptom repeated coughs and colds is the same but the causes are different. It is therefore short sighted and futile to treat all coughs and colds with standard cough expectorants and antibiotics. These only give transient relief and end in suppression. The next attack will be stronger and more obstinate. Thus a normal cough and cold may develop into a bigger problem if not treated according to each child's individual problem. Homoeopathic science believes in treating each sick person according to his or her particular symptoms.
Behaviour development
During child's first year it needs a warm and loving emotional environment in the home. It is during this time that a child establishes what psychiatrists and psychologists call basic trust. During the first year most of the infant's satisfactions are through the skin's perception of being touched through physical contact with his mother father and family. The second year teaches the child to become more independent with that new found ability to walk. The third year is most important for then a child is toilet trained, learner to speak and develops even more independence.
Negativism
From age two to three years the Child is extremely negative he says no to everything and everyone. This shows thatthe child wishes to become separate and independent. It is a sign that should be respected by parents but within limits, this does not mean that they must give in a child on every issue. A parent should determine how much is right and handle these matters with relaxed good humour.
It may come as a surprise to some, but Homoeopathic medicines can be of great help in solving various emotionalproblems at this stage of the child's life, medicines like
Kali phos it helps in relaxing child's nervousness and restlessness as it's a nerve relaxant.
Aethusa Helps when the child refuses to study or seems to forget everything he studies.
Gelsemium Suited for the extremely nervous timid child who starts tremblingand passes urine and stools on the slightest scolding.
Chamomilla For the destructive child who wants to break and spoil everything, is very violent by nature and cries and shrieks all the time.
There are number of Homoeopathicmedicines which help in correcting a child's mental development. These medicines are given according to each child's needs and symptoms, parent's and relatives attitudes, teacher's attitude etc . The greatest advantage these medicines have over other standard medicines is that they do not cause any damage to the brain on the contrary they act as brain tonics.
Bed wetting.
There are many causes for this. It may be due to delay in normal development or as a result of emotional stress..
Treatment
It has to be based on an understanding ofthe emotional problems of the Child and his family. Homoeopathic medicines should be given upon the circumstancesand various physical and mentalsymptoms.
Growth of the Child
A child's physical health and mental development must be consciously looked after. Correct diet emotional security and outdoor activities like games and sports are most important. Equally important is a cautious attitude towards strong drugs, which during these developing years of the child's life, can do much harm. In our impatience and the haste which characterise our modern day approach to things, we subject the delicate and vulnerable constitutions of our children to harsh chemicals sometimes even for minor ailments. If there is a fly sitting on your knee, use fly swatter not a sledge hammer.
Except where mentioned otherwise all above remedies can be given in 30 cpotency 4 pills four times a day, till you consult Homoeopath.
