echinacea and calcarea carbonica together?

Fantastic thanks, I will try one by one

Oh one more question if poss, I've have had acne since childhood and I have been losing my hair at my temples for around 5 years so for how long should I take calc carb??? Thanks for all your help

1. Describe your main sufferings and other related or unrelated sufferings in your own words with exact sensations, locations, modalities and probable causes.

Over the last 5 years I have started to lose my hair. My father is completely bald on the top and back of his head. My hair has receded about 3 inches back on each temple and is beginning to thin on the spot at the back of my head. My hair is thick and wiry everywhere else.

I have had acne and very greasy skin since I was a teenager (I’m currently 31 years old), in my teenage years it was extremely bad and required hospital treatment to dry my oily skin. I have been left with some acne scars, of which the largest runs down my cheek. My acne has lessoned significantly over the last 10 years but I still do get outbreaks (once a month) which result in large spots forming under the skin.

I do sometimes suffer from excessive sweating from my armpits and forehead when under periods of increased stress or due to hot weather and exercise




2. Write an essay on yourself as a person. Describe your nature, likes and dislikes, fears and dreams, your ambition in life, your inner-most desires, your place in society etc.

I am a fun loving person who loves learning and experiencing new things. I am passionate about animal preservation and protection. I enjoy learning about business and science and listening to different music types. Ever since I was at university I had the ambition to be successful in business, my father was a very successful businessman and I guess this has rubbed off on me? I love having a laugh with friends and enjoy socialising and conversation. In recent years I have found that I have become friends with fewer new people as my existing relationships deepen and I find less time to meet and build relationships with new people. I am very conscious of my appearance and I like to look good. I love leading teams and groups of people and I have done this at work and when I have volunteered on animal sanctuaries in Africa. I really enjoy watching sport and playing cricket in particular. I am someone who likes to see progress and get things done and as a result I get frustrated easily and my mind can wander if a topic is not of interest to me.


3. What is your profession? Do you enjoy yourself at work? Is it a profession you have willingly chosen? If not, what would it be as per your choice?

I am a programme manager for a global investment bank. I have been with this company for 3 years and I really enjoy learning the new industry as I have never worked in banking before. I find the organisational politics and working hours both frustrating and draining this role was willingly chosen by myself as I have always had a ambition to be successful in business. Ideally I would like to try and combine my business acumen with the preservation of wild animals but I have been so far unable to achieve this aim


4. What would you like to change in your personality, if at all?

I would like to be more relaxed but much of my tension comes from my passion and focus on a particular activity


5. Please pick out the adjectives which best describe your personality;

Proud, Headstrong, Impulsive, Rigid,

Anything else you would like to add?

Passionate, confident


6. Did you have any bereavement in life? If yes, how has it affected you?

My aunt who I was very close to passed away with cancer a few years ago. This was a great shock as she was such a wonderful and supportive woman


7. Do you often suffer from depression? If so, do you prefer company or solitude during those times?

I would not say I suffer from depression but when I am down I prefer solitude


8. Do you get angry often? If not, do you feel the anger inside at least? What are the things / issues on which you get angry the most?

As mentioned earlier I get frustrated with people and situations if things do not progress as I would have expected or if people a disorganised or lacking focus


9. Did you have any issues regarding your parenting by your guardians?

Only that I felt my parents were very rigid and could have given me more freedom but I have a rebellious personality so I can understand why I needed some boundaries

I've ordered Arsenicum Album and i will report back in 15 days.. thanks for all your help

Hi kadwa,

its been 15 days since i took the doses of Arsenicum Album. I really feel better in myself and quite grounded. I am however still getting some spots and I've not noticed any change in my hair loss (other than that the loss has not increased).

Would you recomend me taking another dose of Arsenicum Album?

also, as we discussed in my initial post should i take calc carb for any ongoing acne and hairloss??

thanks for all your help

fantastic, thanks as always for your guidance

Hi, i've been taking Arsenicum Album as and when my mental symptoms worsen and there is a resulting outbreak of acne. I have subseuqently been noticing that my mental well being increases again; my acne outbreaks have lessoned in frequency and i can see little bits of hair re growth and hair thickening (i'm also rubbing my finger nails together on a daily basis for the hair loss). should i continue using Arsenicum Album as and when or adapt the treatment for my acne and hair loss conditions?

thanks as always

Thanks

so that would mean a single 1m Pillule of Ars Alb to be taken no more than once a month?

cheers
