dear doctor i have given my mother hypericum for 3 days and now i will start with mag phos and calc phos.
i have two question to ask
1. can i give mag phos and calc phos with little water. she feels like vomit when she take these tablets alone.
2. can you suggest some medicine if her problem is not beacuse of injury but it can be a result of artheritis or osteoporosis?
thanks a lot for all your adivse.

Thanks a lot doctor.

Dear doctor,

I have bought Calcarea Carb as per instruction. But the problem is by mistake I bought it in liquid form Can I give this to my mother or shall I buy pills. if yes then plz tell me the dosage.

Another thing is in mean time I have tried Caulophyllum 200 ( 3 times a day for 2 days). And my mother says that she gets some relief by that medicine.

Please suggest whether i should continue with Caulophyllum or Shall we start Calcarea Carb
Please mention dosage in any of the case.

Doctor I am really very thankful to you as you are advising for my mother and father both.
May God bless you.

Dear Simon,

Its a wrong thinking that homeopathy is not a science. I myself and my whole family ( my mother, father, brother) are benefitted by homeopathy.
Homeopathy helped me to recover from a serious lungs infection ( offcourse along with allopathy).
However I am sincerely thankful to you for your concern.

Dr Kadwa Please advise for my mother accordingly.

Doctor my mother has taken Caulophyllum 200 ( 3 times a day for 2 days).
Please tell if she can take more dosage for it.
If yes then how many dyas she needs to continue this?

Thanks for all your efforts.

ok doctor

Dear doctor,
As I mentioned before After taking Caulophyllum 200 ( 3 times a day for 2 days) my mother got some relief.But after some 15-20 days again she started feeling same old pain during knee movement. again she tried Caulophyllum 200 ( 3 times a day for 2 days) and again she felt some relief. Now my question is how frequently she can take this medicine. Please tell me if there is nay harm in repeating this mediicne as on when required.
In the meantime she tried Calcarea Carb 30 as per your instruction but she didn't feel soem markable improvement.

Also tell me whether Calcarea Phos act as a calcium supplement? Allopathy doctor ask her to take calcium tablets. Can she take Calcarea Phos ( Or some other salt like calcarea Flur or calcarea Sulh.) as calcium supplement and if Yes then for how long she can take this?

Thanks a lot for giving us your valuable time.
