Please take a single dose of Pulsatilla 200c for only one day (not daily) and see how that affects you in the next 15 days.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

Thank you for the prompt reply. I will take take the medicine and let you know in 15 days, Just one last question is it safe to take it during the first trimester of pregnancy or should I wait till I complete my three months.

Thanks,

Pia

Antibiotics should not be taken during the first trimester of pregnancy. This restriction doesn't apply to homeo remedies. But you should take the remedy only as advised and you should not repeat it on your own.

Hi Kadwa,

I took the dose you recommended on april 20th. My itching has increased a lot since then. I am not familiar with the homeopathy treatment , is it normal to have the symptoms intensify, also the 15 day wait is that the time to observe changes to determine the treatment. what would be the next steps after the 15 day time period is over.

Thanks

Please monitor all other issues like low back pain, stomach bloating, chills, stomach related issues. If this is an initial aggravation it may go away and relief may follow.

If there is no relief within 2-3 days please take three doses of Mezereum 30c at a gap of 4 hours for only one day (not daily) and see how that affects you in the next 7 days.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Hi Kadwa,

Mezereum 30 c dosage for one day as per your instructons seems to have helped a little with the itching, do I need to continue taking that.

Thanks.
 
beliver last decade
Mezereum is a deep acting remedy and it acts for a long duration, so you should wait and see whether further improvement takes place as the remedy is working internally.
 
kadwa last decade
Its been 10 days now and the itching is back..do I need to take that again or will you suggest some other remedy.

Thanks.
