The ABC Homeopathy Forum

For Dr Deoshlok sharma or Mr. Murthy or any other homeopaths.

Anybody. Please Help !!!

I am of South Asian descent, age 28, male, living in USA, 165 Pounds, 5ft 11 inches.


BEFORE TAKING PHYTOLACCA BERRY:

I had this condition since i was about 18 years old. Originally, i used to get some dandruff and oily scalp. Over the years, I kept the dandruff under control by using apple cider vinegar, but this was not a cure but a maintenance program. I used to shampoo my hair every third day and use the apple cider vinegar. But i stopped that program about 8 months ago because apple cider vinegar leaves a very pungent smell and also i was going to india and i wanted to try some homeopathic remedy. I got the homeopathic remedy and it worked for about 2-3 weeks. Most of the dandruff stopped. But after 3-4 weeks, dandruff came back but not all of the dandruff. So the homeopathic remedy helped but it only decreased the dandruff about 50%. I kept using the remedy for about 5-6 months and it stabilized the dandruff about 50%. Also i did some coconut oil massages once a week. But then i stopped using it because it was not decreasing it further. 2 months after stopping the remedy, dandruff came back 100% along with scales on the scalp.

So now the dandruff was worse than it's ever been in my life because of the scales and the increased amount of the dandruff. I had some scales stuck to my
scalp. And when i scratch, they come loose with my fingernails amd in my hair comb. They are generally white in colour, at times off-white. They are stuck in
only certain spots on my scalp. My Scalp gets itchy and the temptation of itching is too much. Once I itch it is often better but it doesnt solve the problem. The itching is in some parts of my head.


2 days after shampooing, my scalp becomes oily and so also my hair. My scalp doesn't sweat much. but when it is hot, the itchiness increases. I shampoo every 4 days. When they are oily, the hair fall out much easier and also the scalp gets even more itchy. Also when the hair are oily, they tend to bunch together and cover the scalp even less.

The oiliness of the scalp increases at night. When I wake up the hair and scalp are also more oily. After shampooing and washing my hair, the itching is temporarily relieved and after I have dried my hair they dont fall off that easily.



HAIR:

- I do not use any kind of gels, hair sprays, mousses, conditioners,etc.
- I also have had hairloss since long time back. Now my hairloss have gotten worse. My hair are becoming thin. whenever i touch my head a hair or two fall.

Whenever I run my hands through my hair a few easily fall out. when i take a shower and shampooing, also loose some hair. when i towel dry again some hair fall out. But first i want to treat the dandruff and then treat the hair loss.
- Also, I get some pimples on my scalp from time to time and it hurts when i touch them.
- I use a very mild shampoo. it is the johnson's baby shampoo. Also i use hair conditioner.

SKIN:

- I used to get a lot of acne about 4 years back. I had cystic acne one time and it caused some damage to my facial skin. I used different face creams to treat the damage. I went to india and a homeopathic remedy cured me of my acne.
- My skin gets very dry after i take a shower and i can see some flakes on different parts of my face. Also if i rub my skin against a black cloth like a
black t-shirt, i see like some dry flakes on the cloth.
- My skin is oily in the morning when i wake up.

BODY:
- I also used to get some back acne. but now it is less. i still get but acne on the back comes less often. But i still have red marks on my back.
- I get a lot of gas since a long time back. I don't know the reason.

DIET:

- I do not consume any alcohol.
- I do not smoke
- I do not eat any meat except for chicken. I eat 2 eggs 5 days a week. and i eat chicken once a day 3 times a week. However I eat lots of fruit and vegetables.

GENERAL:
- I have been losing weight for the past 2 years. It has been a slow process. I run on treadmill and lift weights.
- No stress at job.
- I used to have trouble sleeping. I sometimes would wake up in the middle of the night 2-3 times and then next day i was always tired. But recently, i started to drink bonvita which is a powder i mix in warm milk and drink before going to bed. It has helped a little bit. now i don't wake up middle of the night and sometimes i get a good sleep but sometimes i still only get 6-7 hours of sleep and the next day i am still sometimes tired.

GENETIC:


- My father has psiorasis. He also has scalp psiorasis.
- My brother has no scalp conditions. He has a normal scalp condition and normal hair.
- My mom's side, all my uncle have had some type of a heart problem.

So looks like i have inherited the scalp conditions from my father.


AFTER TAKING PHYTOLACCA BERRY:

For the past 2 weeks, I have been taking phytolacca berry 30c for treatment. Dose = 2 drops. Once morning and once evening. It has eliminated the scales completely but not dandruff completely. A lof of dandruff is still there. and the itching has decreased. I don't think phytolacca will completely take away dandruff. so another remedy is needed.



Please let me know names, dosage and frequency of the medicines I should take.

I apologize for all the details, but I felt that all these details were necessary to explain my condition. I look forward to getting a response here.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I have helped many cases similar to your with Arnica 30c in the wet dose taken twice daily.

Please do a search for Hair Loss in the archives on this forum and follow instructions.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
I have alreay suggested Nat.mur for you, but assured you that I will have a relook at your case.

I reviewd your case. please take nat.mur 6c, liquid potency in the following way.

take about 30 ml. of water , and put two or three drops of the liquid medicine into it, stir vigirously for 5 times, and take it.

Repeat it the next day, but stir it 10 times now.

You can repeat the medicine every day, for one week,but you must mix it for more time than you did for the previous dose.

Keep a count of the number of times you mixed, and increase it by 5 every day.

Reprot after a week.

Forget about Arnica.It won't help you.

But Mr. Joe, I was trying to get a remedy for my dandruff not for my hair loss. Once i have cured the dandruff, I will start the treatment for hairloss. Will Arnica 30c be a good treatment for dandruff ?

Any other homeopaths out there!!! Please diagnose my problem and suggest a remedy. I would like a second opinion to Mr. Joe.

Thanks

Mr. Murthy

Thanks for providing a remedy for my problem. But i would also like to ask other homoepaths on this forum to try to get a second opinion. It is always a good idea to get a second opinion.

Thanks
 
shawn_g2000 last decade
I am glad you want a second opinion. This is a right example of being cautious in accepting prescriptions from internet.

All the best.

I am an emotional person. I used to get angry, irritable quickly. But i have improved my behavior since about 1 year back. Now, i talk softly and don't get angry, it is very rare. I still have feelings of frustration and get a little depressed about my dandruff and hairloss. So i need to desperately find a remedy. I don't like to be the center of attention because of my dandruff, hairloss. Sometimes, I speak in public but i feel like people are staring at me. I live with my brother. I love him. But it is hard to say him or show much affection. but i am trying to improve my behavior so i can express my feelings more.

Also my parents i love them but it is hard to say so i am trying to improve my behavior.

32. Aggravation (increases-time, season,)& Amelioration (Decreases)
After i shampoo, the dandruff decreases for 1 day and then dandruff increases and hair is oily after 2 days of shampooing. So i have to shampoo every 3-4 days otherwise there is much dandruff and hair is oily. In morning time when i wake up, hair is more oily also. I have not noticed if in summer dandruff is more or less but i don't think it is affected by season.

33. Attached here your photographs of the affected area. - Should i attach a photo? Because the photo will just show my hair from front and some dandruff on the scalp

Deoshlok Sir,

Thank you greatly for your help and providing a remedy for my problems. I will try this remedy. However, Mr. Murthy recommended Nat Mur 6c liquid potency. What do u think about that ?

Thank you
 
shawn_g2000 last decade
Deoshlok Sir,

Am i correct in assuming that the graphitis Graphitis Potency is 200c ? And also please comment on Mr. Murthy's recommendation of Nat Mur. 6c liquid potency !!

Thanks much.

shawn_g2000 last decade
Shawn,
At some stage you asked me for an opinion.

Your father had eruptions on scalp.
The psora is travelling from father to son.

That is why Dr.Deoshlok has suggested Graphites.

It should help you.

Would not be surprised if you/ your father / grandfather / brother / sister ....have twisted nails (feet or hands or both).

Also look for pimples / boils exuding green matter.

These are further confirmations regarding correct choice of Graphites.

Pankaj Sir,

I appreciate an answer from you in regards to my problems. I have pimples from time to time but I am not sure if it exudes green matter because it's on my scalp and it is hard to see what's on my scalp?(By green matter, i assume you mean like the pus in the pimple is green). But i remember when i used to get pimples on my face, the pus was never green, it was like off-whitish.

Thanks Much
 
shawn_g2000 last decade
Ok. It is fine . Try Graphites.

Natrum Mur patients have eruptions on margin of hair..not on top of the scalp.

Top of the scalp is more like Graphites...exuding honey like matter.
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Twisted nails ...any one in the family??
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Pankaj Sir,

I am not sure about the twisted nails. I think my brother has normal nails. But my dad may have twisted nails. I am not really sure. I never noticed nails of my dad. How do twisted nails look? I mean what's the shape of the nails ?

Also, you said 'Natrum Mur patients have eruptions on margin of hair..not on top of the scalp.'. What do u mean by Margin of Hair ? Also, when i get pimples on my scalp. If i scratch the pimples, it hurts.

Thanks
 
shawn_g2000 last decade
Margin of hair ...is where the hair growth on the neck ends.

Twisted nails...are disfigured / distorted nails..more often found in nails of the feet.

Many times toe nail.
