The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Seeking suggestion for Acne: Silicea or Kali bromatum or Antimonium tartaricum??
1. I have had acne since puberty and it has not stopped since- I amT now 25. I have tried antibiotics, creams, Ayervedic remedies, neem, turmeric, apple cider vinegar, change of diet, and even Acutane (when I was 17) and nothing has worked. I am planning to go to a Dermatologist because I dont know what else to do. I am asking for support from this forum is there is any Homeopathy remedy- so far what I have found Silicea, Kali bromatum, and Antimonium tartaricum as options. I have whiteheads, cystic, nodules, pustules, recently have been getting blackheads,- I feel like my face has a variety of acne so its hard to categorize it. My skin if oily.2. Where each symptom is located- cheeks, forehead, chin, nose- all over face
3. What first started it off I have never had clear skin
4. When it's worse it does get worse before periods and with stress
5. When it feels better- nothing has seemed to make it better after 15 years of trying
6. Your sleep pattern I tend to get night sweats and have anxiety ridden dreams
7. What you are sensitive to I run really cold, especially in hands and feet
8. Your state of mind- I tend to be anxious
9. Any desires or aversions for particular foods, and wether certain foods make you feel better or worse- I dont eat meat, I do eat fish, I eat lots of colorful fruits and veggies, I dont eat fried or fatty foods, no sodas or milk products, rarely drink coffee
10. Details of any major diseases suffered in past- I have stiffness in joints in cold, slightly anemic, low Red Blood Cell Count
11. Detals of any reactions to other medicines taken- None
12. History of homeopathic treatment if any None, but my Acupuncturist is working to build my blood because my pulse is a little weak

1.Would you say that your skin is oily or very oily? Oily
Do you have dandruff? Nope
2.Do do not eat meat, there is an aversion, even to milk, you do not like it? No meat or milk it hurts my stomach. I was vegetarian for 1 ½ yrs to see if that helped my digestion but instead it made me weak so I started eating fish last September
3.What about onions, you can eat it? Yes I love onions do I have to give them up
4.Have you experience pains in the ovaries, if so, which side? I normally get period pains the first few days I seem to recall it more on my right side
5.Can you headache, if so, which side, and can you describe how the pain feels like? I get headaches if I eat too much sugar so I try to limit that- no particular side, in the middle
6.Litel about your mood, can you tell me more about this? When I am on task and focused then I am very driven, but as soon as I start to lose focus I start to second guess myself and fear and anxiety set it. I use to get anxiety attacks and felt like I couldnt breath.
7.Can get fix-ideas as if it's a stranger next to you, and similar things? If they are too close then yes.
8.Or you can be absent-minded, irritable, lacking self-confidence. Fearful? Yes all of the above, I am currently changing careers and right now I unemployed and dont quite recognize myself- with that brings fear, lack of self-confidence, irritable, disconnection and absent-mindedness.
9.Do you like being Touched, by other people? I have been getting much better about this the last couple of years (my family never hugged of was physically close when I was growing up). I have a problem if someone who I am not comfortable touches me- In one instance a few months ago a man I was not comfortable with touched me inappropriately on accident and I was triggered and completely flipped and broke down because it brought back old issues.
10.wil you say you are extremely sensitive to cold? Yes, my hands and feet are always cold and sometimes my fingers lock and take a minute to get the blood flowing again so I can move them.
11.How is it with the stomach, works fine? Its been getting better but I have to be careful about what I eat and even that doesnt always work I get stomach pains. I dont feel very regular lately also.
12.Do you sometimes feel that you lack the mental energy? Yeah, my mind tends to wander and I get flighty if the conversation stays dense- hard time focusing
Do you have dandruff? Nope

Dear Dr Abhishek Mukherjee,
by 'Arnica 200' is that Arnica 200c? I am also unclear what 'c.sulph 3x 5t qds' means? Is this Calcarea Sulphurica? Sorry I am just unsure what this stands for and I dont want to misinterpret you and start taking the wrong thing. Thank you for your help.

Hello Veronica.
Now I have gone carefully through your case, and the medication you need is called 'Thuja Occidentalis.'
You need to buy this medicine in potence 200C. You start with one dose, ie 4 to 5 pills that you take right in the mouth. Adds under the tongue and allow them to melt. Swallow it.
Remember to take homeopathy at least half an hour before or after food / drink.
Once this is done you must let the medicine be allowed to work a week or two before you contact me again, or before if something special happens.
Are there any questions, just ask. Good luck, :-)
Sincerely Parakletos.

I am also having consistantly late periods- recently my periods are 3-6 days later each month but once it was 14 days late. Would this new information change what you would suggest for me to take?

Will this also help with a staph infection that i believe is developing on my nose?
veronica4pres last decade
By the way, I know I should wait to check-in in about a week or two but I thought I should quickly mention my head is feeling warm but no temperature...so I guess that means its starting to work in my system and its only the first day.
veronica4pres last decade
Maybe, but there may be other things too. You say that you may have an infection in the nose? We'll wait and see, maybe it's the medication.

I had it a couple of days before I started the homeopathy so it couldnt be from it- but I will keep you updated if it helps it. Thanks for your help :)

I took it on thursday and today I am feeling completely dried out in my throat and eyes. My face feels itchy and I am getting more small white heads- but they are goming to a head much quicker instead hanging around for a week under my skin. I also started my period on Thursday and it was the worst cramps I have ever experienced I had to lie in bed for 3 hours in a fetal position before it slowly started to settle down (I ended up taking 2 Advil for the pain which I rarely take). The pain was located in the lower center. Is this signs that Thuja is working through my body? could you give my an idea of what else I could possibly encounter. Thank you for your help.

Also I feel nauseous like I am going to throw up- this sensation is coming from my throat feeling tight and dry. My lower middle stomach also is hurting a little but I mostly feel it in my throat. I have a headache in the middle top of my forhead. I can handle it but I wanted to give you an update. Its only been 4 days since I took the Thuja 200c.

You say you took Thuja on Thursday and today? If it is true you may have had a reaction to this drug. As I've said you just have to take the drug once, nothing more. Thuja has a duration of 30 to 40 days, so it is important to wait to take several doses.

Woops I mean I took it on Wednesday April 7th. My skin does seems to be getting better though. I am gettig more white heads but they are drying up quick. Is this a remedy that I continually take 1x ever 30-40 days or do I begin to take another remedy or lower dosage after the Thuja is done working?
