Trigeminal Neuralgia

I am trying to get a homeopathic remedy for my wife who is suffering from trigeminal neuralgia on the right side of her face. I am reading that Spigelia Anthelmia can be effective. I am however not sure of the dosage (6X, 6C, etc.). I would like start her with a low dosage to see if it works for her. Can you suggest? If Spigelia is not the best choice can you suggest the right treatment.

Thanks,

Vivek Nayak

Thank you Dr. Kadwa.

Please clarify if the Phosphorus is 200X or 200C.

Also, Mag-Phos (magnesia phosphorica) and CALC FLUOR (Calcarea Fluorata) is available to me only in 6C (not 6X). Please advise.

We will give this a try and report back. It will take a while for us to get the medications by mail.

Hi- I am answering bc I am on earlier than
Kadwa.

He means Phos 200 C. or ck, extra letters
after C indicate how the remedy was made.

The x potencies are biochemic cell salts and not
like the C potencies. I don't know where you are,
but you can order all of it from Helios Homeopathic
Pharmacy in the Uk at one time. Or Remedia.au
pharmacy at one time. Takes about 5 days.

Hi-you can order the x potencies off this site-
at the top- remedies shop. Usually takes 3 days.

Hi. Thanks. I must be doing something wrong because I cannot find the 6X listed for Mag-P and Calc-F on the ABCHomeopathy site. I was able to find them at a Boiron pharmacy in NJ.
 
vnayak last decade
glad you found them.
Just as well bc I looked it up now, and Boiron has
things starting with 8x on there, which would work,but things
are confusing how they list them.
Anyway, I always get these at Whole Foods,they are a
Hylands brand, With each cell salt in 6x, and I am
sure you can go to Hylands own site and order also if
you ever need to.

I findally got my wife to go through with the treatment as prescribed. The 15 day treatment ended on June 11. She experienced a marked reduction of the Trigeminal symptoms and we are very happy and thankful for your help in this regard. Today (3 days after she has stopped the treatment) she was experiencing very slight symptoms again. My question is if she should repeat the same course again or is a modified (or stronger dosage) required. Please advise.

Thank you once again.
