Excessive sweat on forehead _{Page 2 of 6}

Dear Astra,
Had a discussion about potentizing the medicine which caused our deafness. My husband told me of the discussion he had with my late doctor. The Dr. had said not to risk such things which have not been proved as they could have repurcussions.

I have taken Gymnema previously for 3 years but it didnt really help me as much as syzygium.My homeopath is just a beginner and I dont feel his medicines help in chronic cases. It didnt help me in my diahorrea.

One question I missed out. Mostly i used to sketch portraits, but also still life from books.

Upto date have unable to buy flaxseeds but the oil is available at the paint shop. I have used it during oil painting canvas. Will try in more shops.

If you or Murthy can help me find a good homeopath in Calcutta will be really grateful.

Ok Astra. will do as you say. By the way do i buy ARNICA 1M AND SULPHUR 30 LIQUID??

Will try to get the seeds. Find out from some people if it is available there.

I dont know if Gymnema didnt help me, but Sygyzium definitely helps more.
In the beginning actually it gave me severe acidity, but not now. Just before my D&E my sugar was very high and the dr was reluctant to do it until my sugar level came down. Took Syzygium on an empty stomach and by the time my surgery ws due it came down to 140.

Thanks Astra. Will wait for Arnica n Sulphur. I am a teetotaller so cant drink wine etc. I have also read about cinnamon. fenugreek is also said to help. The seeds.
havent tried them myself.
Will come back later. It has not been possible to log on in the mornings here. so tom evening shall check again.

Yes Astra, I have taken this medicine in different potencies upto 10 m in the past.
The homeopathy store you mentioned above is quite far from my place in one of the most congested places in Calcutta. So may not be able to go there.
Does Kuldeep come to Calcutta. Would love to consult him

Astra, have tried my best with all yr questions.

9. Mind Symptoms. (This part pertains to your personality and nature. Describe your opinion of yourself, and if necessary get a family member to help you)

Detail your immediate family, ie., what is your position in the family (father/mother/child)? With whom do you live?

I live with my husband and son. His family of mother and 4 brothers are also in the same house but different flats so little interaction. For the last 4 years was in different cities, and last year my son was not living with us but alone in our flat in Calcutta. Have come back only 1 month before.

How many siblings do you have and among your brothers and sisters, at what position are you? Eg. Eldest, middle, youngest.

I have one brother younger by around 7 years.

What is your educational background? What circumstances caused you to stop, or allowed you to continue?

I am higher secondary, Science. I got married very young at 18 and gave my final exams after marriage. Then my burn accident happened at 4 months pregnancy. So no more studies, but do keep on reading anything I get my hands on and remember the interesting points. Make it a point to read the newspaper everyday, and keep myself abreast of all that is happening around me.

How would you describe your personality?



Compare yourself to another brother, sister or friend. In what ways do your personalities differ?

I can compare myself to my husband n son. Both are very tidy people but I am more easy going. I don’t mind the things being kept harrum scarum. My husband has changed some of this. But don’t like dirty house. Things may be here and there but they should not be filthy. Am quite short tempered, but keep it under control as does my husband. But son is very short tempered. We keep the homeo medicines in the chest alphabetically – as much as possible – a-z this way they are more easy to find.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time? (hobbies, studying, games, outings, travel, dancing, etc.)

Computer – Internet or card games, tv programs, books – mostly fiction. I must tell you this is how I pass my whole day. Few years ago I went to office with my husband for half a day and liked it but now it’s no longer possible as he is in service now.

What are your highest priorities in life? What makes these priorities important for you?

My highest priority is getting rid of all the weakness in my body, especially legs.. the Raynauds, feet soreness and calf pain, so that I can pass my time constructively.

Give examples of past or current situations that are or have been especially stressful. What has been your response to these situations? How have those situations shaped you?

My doctor gave me a mantra. If you cannot change a situation, accept it and this will make your stress much less. I practice it. But when my family – husband and son are stressed, I too get, but do not express it to them and don’t really react just ponder.

Describe your relationship with others, eg., your immediate family, extended family, friends or colleagues. What observations about your behavior do you find others making? .

My husband is very loving and so is my son. But he(my son) hates anything not in place (Arsenic person?) and may fight with me for this. No colleagues. Few friends but they like me. Extended family – love my brother and his family (reciprocated), love my maternal aunt and uncle and their family I am quite cordial with. My husband’s brothers and family – am in good terms with.

What things or situations can make you uncomfortable or possibly fearful? (eg., certain animals, people, robbers, being alone, water, narrow places, heights, flying, accidents, dark, death, disease, sudden noises, thunderstorms, the future, unknown, performance, etc?)

Hate a closed room. Feel claustrophobic. Start sweating even in winter. Don’t like the dark as because I cant see and am uncomfortable. Love thunderstorms and am at the window if possible. Am afraid to go into water (swimming pool, sea) as I have to remove both hearing aid and specs so am unable to see or hear. Am just afraid of cockroaches and the smallest one can make me leave the room (actually if I remember correctly was bitten by a cockroach at the age of 3 and got ulcers which were very painful. This may have been due to a different reason but this stuck in my mind so maybe this is why am terrified of them). Hate to have bath in cold water even in summer but want to drink cool liquids as much as possible. Nothing else makes me uncomfortable or frightened.

Some people keep their home or work space very neat and orderly, and others have pilesbut may also know where everything is. What is your tendency?

I like neatness but cant keep things neatly myself. Even when I rearrange my cupboard, it is not very neat. Yes my homeo medicine chest is kept alphabetically so that I don’t have to search for the medicine I want, but this was my husband’s idea which I followed. My kitchen must be very clean. Will do my utmost so that the help keeps it clean.

What hurts have you endured in the past, and what emotions do you feel when thinking about those hurts?

I don’t think I can say about the things which hurt me in the past and there have been quite a few. If I ever do remember them just feel sad. Have confided in few people.

How would you describe your confidence level? How do you feel about taking on new projects or enterprises?

My confidence was very low 4 yrs back when we shifted to Bangalore. Living there and having to manage all the things alone has given me confidence. If I can be sure of something within my grasp would like to take new challenges.

What aspects of your nature are you unhappy about, and feel you need to change?

My short temper (especially with my son) and my lethargy.

Is there any present situation, domestic, personal, economical or social worrying you? Please give some detail.

Yes- My son’s job, my husband’s job, my health.

What emotions--anxiety, fear, anger, grief, etc., are especially troubling for you?

I am quite an easy going person. Don’t dwell on things. But anxiety is undoubtedly troubling, but mostly it’s at the back of my mind.

Describe situations which have made you feel doubtful or suspicious.

Don’t really remember such situations. But Hate hypocrisy and lies. May react to them unpleasantly.

How are you affected by exercise?

Am too lazy to exercise. Start for 10 mins on some days and then forget again. But I personally feel that when I do exercise I feel better.

Describe situations which have made you feel jealousy or envy.

When I see my contemporaries so energetic, whereby I cant be so.

When upset, some people look to others for support, while others tend to keep the problem private and don't look for consolation. Where are you in that range of response?

I am private. Don’t look for consolation. Just take a book and read it.

What situations have made you feel sad or depressed?

In what areas of the body do you experience emotions, eg., neck/shoulder tension, tightening of the throat, stomach upset, etc.?

Nothing.

What situations have made you angry? Some people anger easily and forgive quickly, others get angry slowly and forgive slowly. How would you describe yourself?

I am quick tempered and forgive also quickly. But some things I remember even after a period of years but don’t show it to the person that I remember.


What else can you add to the above? What points do you feel are most important for someone to understand who you are?

Have you had any childhood experiences that have had a deep impact on you? Please explain.

No Astra. Only I was not allowed to go anywhere without my mom other than school, which I went by school bus. Very suppressed childhood which I do regret.


Have you had Psychotherapy, Counseling, Religious Experiences or Healing therapy before? How has this changed your attitudes or helped you?

No to all.

Dreams: Please enumerate the type of dreams you get, especially if they've left a strong impression or if they're recurrent. Even if you don't remember your dreams, try to think about any particularly strong or recurrent dreams you've experienced at any time of your life. If the dream or dreams was/were particularly significant for you, please describe in detail.

(For example, do you dream of family, known people, unknown people, ghosts, animals, flying, falling, water, jungles, God, snakes, etc?)

Mostly I don’t remember my dreams at all. Yes few years ago I had a recurrent dream of seeing an airplane crash from my father’s verandah. The plane would be a passenger one and fall quite near my father’s house. Same thing but different spots from the verandah or different planes. Loud noise in few dreams too which woke me up. The noises were very loud. Don’t remember the situations. All have stopped now.

There is a problem here. I had to click twice but my reply was not getting posted. now there are 2 huge postings from me.

Anyway, yes in India we do not need prescription to buy nosodes. but it is people like us who will buy such things - I hope so and will not get any reactions

Ok Astra,
Have been searching thru and have been unable to find diploma course in India. I would also prefer books to read n will see at B. Jain website.
Sulphur Iodatum which potency and what frequency. My sugar also is still high 256 PP and what do you advise about the medicines I've been taking?
Maya

Astra, I too have not been able to buy the medicines as have been quite busy. Will get them within a day or 2. Can the Arnica be taken at bedtime around 2 hrs after dinner ans not 30 mins after meals.
