This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
What are these remedies prescribed for? And not to be rude at all, but you should call him up and ask! And then tell us, because its very important to hear many points of view on situations like these.

Now I am concerned because Nux vom is inconpatible with ignatia. I'm posting the Materia Medica. What do you think?

Ignatia
(St. Ignatius Bean)
Produces a marked hyperesthenia of all the senses, and a tendency to clonic spasms. Mentally, the emotional element is uppermost, and coordination of function is interfered with.

It is especially adapted to the nervous temperament: women of sensitive, easily excited nature, dark, mild disposition, quick to perceive, rapid in execution. Rapid change of mental and physical condition, opposite to each other. Great contradictions. Alert, nervous, apprehensive, rigid, trembling patients who suffer acutely in mind or body, at the same time made worse by drinking coffee.

Stomach. Sour eructation. All-gone feeling in stomach; much flatulence; hiccough. Cramps in stomach; worse slightest contact. Averse to ordinary diet; longs for great variety of indigestible articles. Craving for acid things. Sinking in stomach, relieved by taking a deep breath.


Abdomen. Rumbling in bowels. Weak feeling in upper abdomen. Throbbing in abdomen. Colicky, griping pains in one or both sides of abdomen.

i went back to see her because of the breathing problem.

having to take in deep breaths and then feel as though not fully inhaled enough, as if breath got stuck at top of chest. also anxiety in chest region.

when putting these symptoms into grid on this forum it advised on PHOSPHURUS.

I told her this and she said try Ignatia first but i do sound like a Phosphurus person.

Erica, you say nux vom and ignatia are NOT incompatible, but in the earlier post in the materia medica, it says they are incompatible. IM CONFUSED! PLEASE ADVISE WHAT IS THE TRUTH.

KIND REGARDS

I'm confused too - all my books say they are not incompatible - I am not sure which mat med samnbudsmom is using, so would be interested to know, thanks samnbudsmom...
usually when something is written as incompatible it is no more than one or 2 homeopaths experience with these 2 remedies given together, so is not always right.
what exactly worries you about your remedies - if you tell us then maybe an answer would be poss.
 
erika last decade
Erika, I am using a software program called AtamA.
 
samnbudsmom last decade
Erika, The Medica I'm reading lists Ignatia as incompatable with Nux Vom, and lists Nux Vom as an antidote to Ignatia.
 
samnbudsmom last decade
Your problem is chest anxiety and you are prescribed medicine for mental anxiety.Tell erika every thing about you then only the correct medicine will be suggested.Tell details.

Erica, Please state the information you require from me.

I will start with Staphysagria.

I was given staph 200 potency 1 per week about 3 weeks ago for past abuse and depression.

First week i felt worse symptoms, second week felt great. Third week started getting anxiety really bad with the breathing in problem, not been able to fully take a deep breath, a feeling as though it was stopping at the top of my chest.

My homepath then gave me Ignatia 200 1per week and has given me about 20 pills.
carc 30 1 per morning
nux vom 6 every evening
She told me the carc and nux were to detox my body from everything.

I am wanting to know why i have been given 3 remedies to take all at once. I thought from what i have read on here to take 1 remedie at a time.

PLease explain the reason for carc and nux vom. What will they do for my body?

Please reply soon erica.

kind regards

Erica, below is what my homeopath replied with when i asked whatcarcnd nux vomica did for me.

felt that your remedies would perform better if you had a detox - this will get your liver working better and help you to discharge faster. Carc and Nux is a standard and very effective detox combination

Kate


What do you think? is this true? just an oppinion will do from you to maybe also help other people that read this.

kind regards

nux can be used as a liver/organ remedy. I suppose this could be classed as a detox. However, I thought detox was a 'body cleanse', which homeopathy does not do. Maybe the word 'detox' is being used creatively here?!
Carc. is a nosode, which is used to help the body clear of inherited traits, so can help remedies work more successfully. Each homeopath may have different theories on how this works.

multiple remedies are used in certain situations by homeopaths, but are not recommended for self-treatment.

samnbudsmom - thank you for your info on ignatia/nux. As far as i can 'theorize' I feel that if a remedy can antidote another (if this is possible) then it is more likely to be an antidote and not incompatible. I do not understand how it could be both.
Any 'incompatible' remedies usually cause an ill effect if they are used together - one straight after the other (again theory) so they would not antidote but would cause an ill effect..........??
Usually if remedies are incompatible then it is only if they directly follow each other, so taking another remedy in between would prevent them reacting in any unwanted way.
So if you were at all worried then just don't take ignatia straight after the nux and vice versa.

dear sajjadakram
thank you for your concern here.
chest anxiety/mental anxiety are often very interlinked so ignatia is fine for both, especially if emotional upset has caused the breathing problem to start or to worsen.
 
erika last decade
Yes Erika go ahead.
sajjad.
 
sajjadakram635 last decade
erica,

thankyou kindly for your reply, please explain what kind of ill effect would a person get???

i take nux vom on an evening and ignatia 1 per week will that be ok?

yesterday i took another ignatia instead of my carc, i later took the carc.

yesterday i felt terribly anxious and breathing worse, do you think this is because the remedies are working or are they making me feel worse. i feel emotional, angry, anxious and breathing terrible.

please advise erica asap.

kind regards

I'm sorry but it is out of my scope to take over from your homeopath. You must get advice on how to take the remedies he/she suggested from him/her.
If you cannot do this then I advise you stop taking the remedies until your homeopath returns and then ask them.
I only said that the 'theory' was that incompatible remedies may cause ill effects IF TAKEN DIRECTLY AFTER EACH OTHER - I have never known it happen so cannot help here. It sounds in any case as though you are not taking them directly after each other, as you are taking carc. in between taking these remedies. So - there is no cause for worry. Why not call a homeopathic pharmacy, or email one, if you are that worried?? they are the ones who truly can give you the best answer about remedy compatibility.
 
erika last decade
ok erica, sorry to trouble you but when you are new to something and dont know much about it, i thought i would get help on this forum, i thought that is why it is here.

sonia
 
sonia- taylor last decade
you are quite right - you can get help here.
However,
I am sorry but it is very difficult to give second opinions. Your advice from your homeopath is unique to your situation - I would trust that your homeopath is qualified to practise and d that the remedies you are taking are suitable for you - giving you other advice may confuse you rather than help you.
If you want someone on the forum to help you choose remedy/remedies for you then please tell us all the symptoms you told to your homeopath and we can help you - if then the remedies advised here are different to those advised by your homeopath this does not mean at all that your homeopath was wrong just that another suggestion has been made.
Hope this helps
