Please take three doses of Arsenicum Album 200c at a gap of 4 hours for only one day (not daily) and report back after 15 days.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

You may buy homeo remedies at SANA PHARMACY in sana signal, karama in Dubai.

I have got the medicine from the Sana Pharmacy. I was given 3 cylindrical plastic containters and each one has many tiny tablets. Is this correct. On the cover it says Arsenicum album 200 ch
 
cherryl last decade
You have bought the right remedy. There was no need to buy three containers. Only one container would have been sufficient. You need to take only 12 pills, 4 pills each thrice for one day. You may return 2 containers or exchange them for some other remedies in future. i don't know whether this is allowed at Sana Pharmacy.
Please take the remedy as explained earlier, please follow the homeo restrictions and report back in 15 days.
 
kadwa last decade
its good that i check with you. With take the medication as prescribed

Dear Dr. Kadwa,

Firstly thank you very much for your help. The medicine (Arsenicum Album 200c) is working. I must say the patches now appear light brown instead of blue and purple. I feel even the brown patch are getting lighter.

Do you think i shoudl take the medicine again. Please advise.

Also do you practise in Dubai, if yes then maybe I can come over to yor clinic.

Thanks once again

Regards,

Cheryl.

i follow Rishi Model of homeopathy. He was earlier in Dubai. Thatswhy i told you Sana Pharmacy on the basis of his posts on the forum.
You should not repeat the remedy until there is worsening of symptoms. If you see that your symptoms are worsening you should take the remedy as earlier for one day and wait for 15 days. i think that the remedy should have also affected you at the mental plane.
Neither Rishi (he is the same person who designed the questionnaire you have copied) nor me are medical prefessionals. Those who are doctors have 'Dr.' in their title or they sign their posts with 'Dr.' title. Others like me don't do that. Whenever someone calls us doctor we don't clarify. But if someone asks very specifically we do clarify.
 
kadwa last decade
Thanks for your reply. So do you think these marks will go away completely and how long do u think it should take. What do you think could be the cause of these marks.

I guess this medicine has also afected me in the mental plane. I some how was very positive that this medication would work. Waiting for these marks to go away completely.

Once again thank you very much for your advise

best regards,

Cheryl

A homeo remedy is suggested on the basis of totality of symptoms. It acts as a stimulation to the vital force. The vital force effects the cure. Therefore the time taken to effect cure and other such questions are difficult to answer. One can only suggest a remedy, the cure is effected by the vital force.

Dear Kadwa,

Just wanted to bring to your attention that the spots are get more obvious when i am tired and stressed. Off late i have noticed the spots are becoming darker. I am worried they might get to its original form. Do you think so?

Also i wanted to check with you, can i take anti oxidants for over all health?


My eye lids also have turned blusih purple. Is there a remedy for them
please reply.

Please take three doses of Lachesis 30c at a gap of 4 hours for only one day (not daily) and report back after 15 days.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

Please note that there are no different medicines for different disorders in homeopathy. So lachesis is suggested on the basis of totality of your symptoms.

You can take anti oxidants for over all health.

Please read my posts on the breathing exercises called as Anulom Vilom Pranayam and Kapalbhati Pranayam by following the links given below. Please practise these pranayams regularly for half an hour preferably in a garden early in the morning. You may practise at any other convinient time. The only restriction that you have to follow is not to do these exercises within 4 hours after meals. You can have meals not within 15 minutes after finishing these exercises.

Dear Kadwa,

Thank you for your reply. What is this Lachesis 30c meant for. Are we trying out a different medicine for the the spots which are coming agin or is it for something else.
 
cherryl last decade
Lachesis follows arsenic alb well. It works well for bluish purple skin affections. Therefore i advised you to take Lachesis instead of repeating Ars. We will consider about repeating Ars in future depending on the symptoms.
 
kadwa last decade
Thanks will take the medication asap.
Today my skin is better
but last night , the patches appeared more dark and as i said earlier i was very tired after a long busy day.
 
cherryl last decade
