i am 54 yr old female, average height & weight, 5'1', 125 lbs, dark brown hair & eyes, medium complexion with lots of freckles, tans very easily, love the sun & outdoors, anything nature, animals, plants, etc. In a loving & caring relationship for many years. am an outgoing extroverted person, do not like small spaces and hate elevators! Approx 5 yrs ago began experiencing severe menopausal symptoms, insomnia, anxiety, panic, hot flashes. I have been on hormone replacement & just recently changed to bio-identical hormone replacement. Prior to going on these meds I did try many natural approaches with no success. Have been doing well with very occasional bouts of anxiety, generally fears of illness for myself or my husband, always has been unfounded thankfully.

this problem however resulted as a fall in the street, rt foot and ankle totally swelled to twice its size and had the worst bruising, completley purple all around the foot, heel and top of foot.

as stated in last post, tried arnica 30, & ruta 30 - one in am, and one in pm - for several weeks, thought it was helping and now foot seems totally swollen again particularly around the ankle.

blood pressure seems to be stress related, I work for the NYC Police Dept in a very stressful environment. Do not want to go on perscription meds - blood pressure runs from normal 120/70 to 150/90, I can actually feel when it's going to be high.

Thanks for all your wonderful advice. Hope I gave you enough details.

Arnica is good remedy but appprantly it has not worked properly, therefore, you should take BELLIS PERENNIS-30 and Hypericum-30 alternate dose 4 times a day and report after 4 days.

thanking you again for your valuable time and help.

What I mean with alternate dose is

First take Bell.Per. say at 10am and Hypericum at 11 am and so on.

Yes both the remedies daily with the above protocol.

And report after using 4 days.

hello dr

I was waiting until wednesday to update you as that will be the four day protocol. But I can say that after taking several alternating doses yesterday the first day of starting remedies(sunday 6/14) i did notice that after much walking my foot did not swell, which is a great sign as prior to taking the remedy any amount of walking produced terrible swelling. so i am quite hopeful, and will completely update you on wednesday, as well ask a few further questions. thank you for all your valuable help and information.

hello -

have completed my four days of alternating doses of bell. per & hypericum, rt. foot seems much better, for example, usually in the evening after being on feet all day my foot is extremely swollen, the last few days this has been to a minimum so i am seeing improvement....should i continue with remedy or stop & see?

also, wondering if you have any insight into the following symptom.... whenever i get a massage / reflexology / or accupressure i get deep black & blue marks the following day, even when not much pressure has been used? i have always tended to bruise easily, any ideas on why this may happen? also looking for a good constitutional remedy.

thank you for your help.

Please continue this medicine for 3 days more.

I give you a tip for its swelling:

Please take luke warm water in a tub and mix 2 dessert spoons of Natural Salt (nimik) and put your feet in it at night for 5 minutes only and come up after 3 days.

hello dr mahfooz -

ok, will continue remedies for 3 more days as well as soaking foot in tub of warm salt water as directed, is natural salt (nimik) the same as epsom salt or shall i use plain sea salt?

any ideas on the bruising i was asking?

will update in three days, thank you so much, your help is truly invaluable to myself and all the others that you take the time to advise and educate.

with much appreciation
