broken capillaries on face

Hi :)

I am a 23yo female seeking any remedies to treat broken capillaries on my cheeks. I have many tiny ones which cover most of both cheeks. I have relatively clear skin apart from red spots left from pimples and the occassional break out. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Thank you !

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Arnica 30 should stop the formation of any new acne lesions. Dose 2 pellets taken under the tongue twice daily.

You may have to take this remedy for about 2 weeks on a daily basis to prevent any new lesions.

Please report your reaction in a week when the formation of any new spots should have stopped.

Dont think broken capillaries come under Acne.

Lachesis is the main remedy -- check it out , useful if you are a jealous type and feel worse on waking in the morning.

Others are Calc Carb / Carbo Veg / and Thuja which may be 2nd choice.

Do you have any respiratory issues: asthma(past or present), coughing, chronic bronchitis, etc...?

I am a beginner at homeopathy but I have studied herbalism and natural medicine for twelve years and I have noticed that lung issues usually show up on the face in the form micro-capillaries. In fact, this is the best predictor of my 3 year old sons asthma attacks. The body always reveals itself if you are paying close attention.

Wait to hear from Sabra or others because they are very knowledgable and will surely be able to help you select a remedy.

Best Wishes,

Hi all,

Thank you so very much for the fast replies !

Joe - Atm I don't have any pimples just red marks, will it help diminish the red marks? And how long can I take Arnica 30 for? I am actually going into hospital in 2 weeks time for wisdom teeth removal, I understand arnica is also great to take following tooth extractions? Can I take it starting now and following my teeth removal?

Passkey - Lachesis is for broken capillaries? Thanks will check it out.

Jentoun - no I have never had any respiratory issues.

Thanks again guys :)

It is the lesions caused by the acne which you call whiteheads that are the cause of the marks on your face.

I have treated a similar case recently where the acne would leave a dark mark under the skin without breaking up above it. Your case is slightly different and you will have to use Arnica 30 to see if it can help you as it did in this case mentioned above.

It is the ideal remedy to be used both before and after any surgery and you should use the 200c potency immediately before and 2 hours after surgery and go back to the 30c every 3 hours for 2 days after. It stops bleeding, reduces pain (you will not need any other pain medication) and your wound will heal faster.

Hi, just wondering if anyone else has any other suggestions to help with my broken capillaries?

Thank you
 
Eleidess last decade
Hi Joe, I was only able to find arnica 6c, will this do?

Thanks for your time
 
Eleidess last decade
Arnica 6c is not the potency to be used for your problem. You will have to get the correct potency 30c from another Homeopathic pharmacy in your city.

Where do you live ?

I live in Sydney, Australia.

There should be no problem to get Arnica 30c in Sydney where there are over 50 homeopathic pharmacies. Look up your yellow pages for names of these pharmacies and get the Arnica 30c ASAP.

hello joe....my 10 year old daughter has had a broken capillary on the side of her nose for over a year. it first started as a small red dot but now it has "spread" to about the size of dime. she has very clear beautiful skin otherwise. just recently she has become quite self concious about it and she also has another one starting on the side of her cheek.

what are these caused from? will armica 30 help with these as well or do you need more information/description of her personality to diagnose?

thank you so much for all of your insight on this forum....i have learned a great deal from your views.

thank you...i look forward to hearing from you.

I believe that Arnica 30 should help your girl. You can use it for a week and see what the response is.

In the meanwhile can you send me a close up photograph of her problem to enable me to see it ?

My email address is

joe at titusstores.com

I believe that they are caused as a result of some injury or also due to the lack of the blood circulation in this area. Arnica dialated the capillaries in the body especially those directly under the skin and with a bit of luck these marks may disappear in time.

The dose is 2 pellets Arnica 30c twice daily under the tongue. The usual restrictions apply in coffee, cola drinks and any preserved meats with saltpeter.

Please keep me posted with her reaction in a week

joe...tahnk you for your suggestion...and yes i will take a photo and send to you. i am not sure how well you will be able to see in the photo...but as i mentioned, it started out as a bright read dot on the side of her nose and as time has passed it is now much larger...more like a splotch with tiny dark red capillaries in the middle.

i do not beleive that it was caused by an injury...as she now has another one developing on her cheek. i will start the arnica this afternoon....and i will keep you posted...

again...thank you very much..

Hi Joe
I have been able to find both arnica 30 and 200 - they sell them in either tablet or liquid form. Not the pellets. Which do you suggest? Or should I keep looking for the pellets.

Thanks :)
 
Eleidess last decade
The pellets that I referred to are 3mm diameter and are white in colour. The tablets are OK but you will have to adjust the dose depending on the relative size difference between the tablets and the pellets.

The potency is the important factor which must be 30c.

Dear Joe,
I have heard of homeopathy, but I do not know about the arnica 30. What is it? Could you tell me the details about it??


Thanks

Hello Joe,
My name's nicole. I have broken capillaries as well... mainly on my nose from unfortunately squeezing black heads... I've tried getting them lasered a few times but they don't disappear... they're pretty small but they still bother me... would you recommend the arnica 30 as well for me?
Thank u so much

I recently saw a thread of conversations about broken capillaries on the face. My daughter has been suffering from this for about 5 years. She is 11 years old. I think it's starting to bother her. Can you recommend anything? I am desperate for her.

I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Danielle
