The ABC Homeopathy Forum
blushing/flushing
Hi i was wondering if anybody here could help me find the correct remedy that suits my symptons. I have constant red cheeks and flush easily. I also have sweaty palms and feet and sweat easily. My condition (red cheeks and sweating become worse on exposure to hot/cold/alcohol/exercise). even light exercise worsens my condition. When i flush easily my head becomes hot instantly and my sweating can increase. I am a shy person who fears daily chores ie. being in a crowd, meeting people, getting on trains because of flushing. I feel best when alone or sleeping and my condition appears to become worse as the day goes on. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone knows of a homeopathic remedy for these symptons.

Hi kadwa. Will this does work? I have had this problem for approx 12 years. Im 23 and would class my condition as chronic. Also it doesnt mention flushing/red cheeks regarding silicea on the remedy profile on this site. I also have redness in the corner of both eyes, light redness on neck and upper chest. My skin can also become red easily when warm/touch/scratch etc

Your mentals match silica very closely. The mm for Silica under Face has face red. Similarly under Skin it has rose-colored blotches. Under eyes it has angles of eyes affected. So in my opinion you should go ahead with doses of silicea as suggested. Please come with the following information after one week.

i think that your remedy is mercurius sol. please read about merc at
http://www.homeoint.org/books/boericmm/m/merc.htm
also consider silica once again
sil.htm " rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.homeoint.org/books/boericmm/s/sil.htm
If you think that you are more like merc please come back with your opinion. Silica and merc are inimical and don't follow each other well. In that case we will have to insert some remedy between these two. If you think silica better represents you we will have to move to higher potency.
Let me know your opinion.

Hi kadwa i read about both remedies but am unsure. i done the questionaire on this website and it told me ferrum metallicum, pulsatilla or belladonna. for ferrum met. it matches weakness, dislike of eggs, flushes easily, warm/clammy hands and feet and gripping cramps from rectum area. could this be the remedy. Also on days leading up to take silica i was taking belladonna and ferrum met. could this have affected the dose of silica?
John 1 last decade
In what potency did you take ferrum met. For how many days did you take it and frequency of doses during the day.
In what potency did you take belladona. For how many days did you take it and frequency of doses during the day.

♡ kadwa last decade
took 12c belladonna for 3 three days twice daily and also for the same three days took 2ooc belladanna 1 daily for three days. took 200c ferrum met. 1 on the third day with belladona
John 1 last decade
Did you feel any changes after taking the above remedies? How is the problem of your bleeding gums now?
♡ kadwa last decade
Ferrum Met and Silica both act for long duration. You have taken Ferrum Met in 200 potency. So it is better to wait for another 4 days and to look for change in symptoms. Then we will take an appropriate decision.
♡ kadwa last decade
Hi Kadwa i have been taking ferrum met. belladonna and sulphur over the last few days but none heve produced any improvement in my condition. Wat do you suggest for my condition?
John 1 last decade
You told earlier that you had taken belladona and ferrum met before silica. When you have taken sulphur and in what potency?
♡ kadwa last decade
OK John. Having taken so many remedies now please don't take any other homeo remedy. Sulphur and Ferrum Met are long acting remedies and there effects may be visible after 30-40 days.
i think that you should try flower remedies now. Flower remedies will not adversely affect working of homeo remedies. Flower remedies are also known for their effectiveness in such conditions. Please take the following bach flower remedies thrice a day for 15 days and report back.
Mimulus
Cherry Plum

Hi kadwa I took sulphur 200c after the silica doses.i took the dose because it came out as a possible remedy from the questionaire on this site. i will take your advice with the flower remedies and wont take anymore homeopathic remedies. Many thanks again, John
John 1 last decade
Hi Kadwa I have been taking the flower remedies mimulus and cherry plum you advised and they are helping me to relax and not to fear as much. I was researching some homeopathic remedies and found aconite to be very closely matched to me. Also phosphorus matches my bleeding gums closely together with wat makes my condition worse/better. Could it be possibe that i may need to take more than one remedy to alleviate my symptoms? Thanks, John

Hi John
Phosphorus does not match you on the basis of totality of symptoms. Silica matches you very closely. But before we could move to higher potency of silica, you have taken other remedies on your own. Now as you have taken sulphur we should not rush back to silica. Let us postpone our decision on homeopathic remedy for another 10 days.
In my opinion you should also take bach flower remedy impatiens alongwith the other two as that should help you in having more patience. Please take these three flower remedies for 7 days.
For your gums problem you may take 2 tablets each of the following tissue salts thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours for 7 days and report back.
calcarea fluorica 6x
calcarea phosphorica 6x
kali phos 6x
