Please take Ignatia 30 in the morning and evening for 3 days and see how that affects in next 7-10 days.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 2 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 2 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.

Hi, I've decided to hold off for a couple of weeks before taking this remedy as I seem to be on the mend. Thankyou
 
sue1963 last decade
Hi, I did take the Ignatia 30c & finished this 3 days ago, the noticable change is that I am extremely breathless first thing in the morning & must take Ventolin for relief. Should I wait 7- 10 days or is there something else you could suggest for me?
 
sue1963 last decade
Please take a single dose of Lachesis 200 and see how that affects in next 10 days.
 
kadwa last decade
I have taken the Lachesis 200c 6 days ago with no improvement. I have also been diagnosed with C.O.P.D and not asthma 4 days ago!

I am waking at 3-4 am every morning with extreme breathing difficulty and coughing up mainly clear watery like fluid, sneezing.
what do you think about Arsenicum alb ??
 
sue1963 last decade
Please take three doses of Arsenic Album 200 at a gap of 12 hours and see how that affects in next few days.

If that doesn't help, take Phosphorus 200 in the same way and see how that affects.

Hi Kadwa, I took the Ars. Alb and six days later I took the Phos. but so far neither remedy has helped.I still wake 4-5 o'clock each morning finding it hard to breath needing to stand up and get air,I normally take two puffs of ventolin inhaler ,it then takes an hour before I feel able to breath a little easier.My cough is worse when I wake,it is choking in character and my sputum is clear and frothy first thing but by mid-day it is thick and yellow. I am sneezing frequently, at worst 7-8 times a day, the sneezes are incomplete.
I feel that these symptoms are allergic reactions and it may be possible that I am allergic to tobacco/smoke. Some of the symptoms I have are Rhinitis like and also linked to C.O.P.D.
Please could you suggest the next remedy,thankyou for taking the time with me.
