Doc,

My name is Jocey, 27yr female. i have been diagonised with Trichotillomania. this has created within myself lot of conflicts.

it started as a kid, age 7yrs where during exams, i used to pull my eyebrows at that time. but then it subsequently stopped on its own. i have had a very traumatic childhood with parents fights so i used to be very withdrawn within myself, dreamy and very studious.
this urge has now come back to me since 2008 after ' disappoinment my love affair'. i pull my scalp hair out since then.. sometimes around the temples or vertex of my head and sometimes even my eyelashes.
aggravation- mental stress+3, anxiety+3
i dont realise in the first few pluck outs until i get the pain. and sometimes the pain makes me feel better.

i am a chilly patient

desires- spicy+3, fried food

major diseases in the past-
Reaction to vaccine MMR- fever for 1 month
appendicitis- 7yrs, not operated
typhoid- 2009
recently diagonised -2014, endometriotic cyst 2.3cm in right ovary and retroverted uterus

menstrual history:
severe dysmenorrhoea first 2 days,odorless flatulence before menses, black dark clots > hot water fomentations

married since 1.2 yrs
no kids

i have sweaty cold hand during stress

mind-
very sensitive to comments of loved ones
always feel responsible for the bad or any negative event happening in my family

fear of loosing loved ones

extreme fear before exams, vomiting nausea, aphtous ulcers

injustice intolerable
want company, cannnot bear to be alone,
love to listen to music
dreams many- nothing specific as of now

small stresses get me worked up

doc, please help me.
i am developing a small bold patch on my vertex.feel very ashamed about it when questioned.

i strongly believe in homoeopathy

waiting for you response

thanking you

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I can try to find a suitable remedy for you if you can answer the below questions.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FIRST BEFORE ANSWERING QUESTIONS:
• Homeopathy works only if you give truthful answers, no matter how awkward or intimate. If you don’t want to do that, it’s better you stop here and don’t proceed.
• Please reply to all that is being asked and give details.
• Short answers such as Yes/No/Normal are not helpful.
• I want answers which explain the What, When, Where, Why, Better by & Worse by.
• Example: I have a sore throat (it explains the “what”), since 3 days (it explains “when”), on the left side of my throat (explains “where”), due to eating sour food (explains “why”), the pain is better when I drink warm tea (explains “Better by”), the pain is worse when I swallow food (explains “worse by”)

Jocey last decade
Your remedy is: Pulsatilla 200c.

HOW TO TAKE THE REMEDY:
Please take two doses 12 hrs apart. Just two doses. Not daily.
Report back in 7 days with changes observed.

TIME OF DOSE:
First dose: At night before sleeping.
Second dose: 12 hrs after the first dose.
Don’t take any more dose or any other remedy unless I tell you.

PILLS/PELLETS:
If your remedy is in the form of pills:
One dose is one pill.
Dissolve the pill in mouth.

LIQUID REMEDY:
If your remedy is in liquid form:
Put one drop of the remedy in half glass of water, stir and take one tea spoon from it.
That’s one dose.
Use the same mixture for subsequent doses, if required.
Don’t refrigerate the mixture. Put it anywhere covered, away from direct sunlight.

PRECAUTIONS:
If there is significant worsening of symptoms (called homeopathic aggravation) after the first dose, then don’t take the second dose.
Don’t take any other homeopathic remedy during this treatment.
Give a break of at least 10 minutes before eating/drinking anything before or after taking the remedy.
During the treatment, don’t eat anything which you have never had all your life.

HOW TO GIVE FEEDBACK:
A good example of how to report your progress is by giving %age improvement for all your health problems e.g.
Headache: 30% better
Low energy level: 50% better
Anxiety: 40% better
Sadness: No change
Depression: Worse
And so on list all your complaints.

GENERAL INFO ABOUT HOMEOPATHIC PRESCRIBING:
If someone is giving several remedies, without waiting to see the effect of one remedy, then it is totally against the core principles of homeopathy. Such an approach is unlikely to give permanent cure, rather it may distort actual symptoms making subsequent cure even more difficult.

DIETARY GUIDELINES:
Homeopathy is not magic and it can only work when all other supportive strategies are also used. To make sure you are cured as fast as possible and stay that way please change your lifestyle to include the following:

1. Start eating half cup of low fat, plain, non-flavored yogurt with live cultures daily in the morning or with lunch. If you have homemade yogurt that’s the best.
2. Stop all processed foods e.g. white bread, white rice, white burgers etc.
3. Eat whole foods only i.e. whole grain bread, brown rice, brown burgers etc.
4. The bread should be high in bran content & the flour should be coarse ground.
5. Start eating a small bowl of salad at least once a day e.g. it should contain cucumber, carrots, salad leaves, tomato and any vegetable you like. Put a dressing of olive oil & raw apple cider vinegar and put some salt & black pepper to your liking.
6. Eat at least 1-2 fruits per day e.g. apple, orange etc.
7. Drink enough water so that your urine is clear. Yellow colored urine is a good indication that you are dehydrated.
8. Eat only when hungry and when eating, don’t overstuff yourself.
9. Focus on food only when you eat i.e. don’t divert your attention by watching tv etc.
10. Exercise:
• Aerobic activity e.g. Start walking at least 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week with your spouse/friend and achieve your target heart rate.
• Strength training e.g. Start weight training at least 20 minutes 3 days a week.

NOTE: Yogurt can cause increased mucus generation in some individuals, if you are like that, don’t eat yogurt. Rather start eating roasted black chick peas (also known as Bengal Gram) daily.
