miasms - which remedy _{Page 2 of 8}

I must admit I plus slightly differently - I always dilute onwards and upwards and never return to the initial 25ml bottle ('mother batch') as this seems to defeat the object of plussing as you are returning to the original 'energy' of remedy before stirring/shaking, i.e. beofre the plussing - plussing is always to 'go on' and 'plus' upwards from this energy. So I would dilute on from the teacups and not ever return to the mother batch of that potency.

My option of choice with very sensitive people is that I make up the bottle and tell patient to shake before taking a drop (this will 'plus' the energy). If they are too sensitive to this they put a few drops of this bottle in the dropper, throw the rest of the contents of the bottle away, put the drops from the dropper back into the bottle and then they top up this original bottle with spring water (a very little brandy if it is going to be used for a while) and then 'plus' from there as before (a vigorous shake before each dose of one drop will be enough to plus it). If they are still too sensitive to this then they can go through the same process again.......this is almost the same as your teacups but you need only 1 bottle and you don't return to the original 'energy' but always are plussing.
Doses are taken either daily , alternate days, or even weekly, fortnightly (and so on) depending on sensitivity of patient.
These books are very good on the subject - I have read snippets but not all of it...

When plussing in the way above from the bottle it is important to make sure that the drops in the dropper do not come into contact with anything else or any other remedy.

hi elle
just checking you got the above message on plussing?

it is fine to take less than every other day - if you find nothing happens then try and take more often.
As you are sensitive you will probably intuitively know what may suit you best.
You only need to repeat dose when the effect of the previous dose has 'worn off' - i.e. if the effect of a dose was good then it will mean that you stop improving -you will know when this is.:)

this may be that you are 'outing' some repressed emotions and sounds positive. the telling key is whether you feel good in yourself????
If you are feeling good in yourself but feeling too irritable, losing it too much, then take the staph less frequently. Also find an outlet for the releasing hyperenergy (you may be in what i call 5th gear!!!) by writing down this anger and shredding or burning the bits (safely of course!!!!??)you write down - write them to forgive or just to release emotions. the main thing is you are writing this for yourself to whoever or whatever you need to, but you do not need to send it to whatever or whoever you just need to write it, acknowledge it and release it when you burn or shred!
if this does not help, or you are NOT feeling good in yourself then get back to me...:)
OH - pls reassure your husband about what is happening!

elle - thanks for your feedback - sounds good that feelings are returning and that you are able to recognise this and deal with them positively, with the writing down etc. I would definitely take less often now and dilute the remedy further before taking another dose, as it would be a lot to cope with if the rage continued. wait now until these feelings have really died down before taking another dose - with the next dose then it should be a more gradual release.
Have you also got some rescue remedy you could take to help? Gentian also from the bach flower range would be helpful.. Remember to check with your self that you are feeling better in yourself before continuing.. :)

Hi elle - sounds good, fingers crossed!!!

Taking Bach Flower remedies with homeopathic medicines is fine........some homeopaths may not agree that this is classical but then I don't always practise classical!
Looking forward to reading your progress. bye for now

try a dose of staph to see if it helps ease the cramps - the energy change around period could need extra dose or so. If this does not work you can use Colocynthis for the interim, which is used as an acute of staph, for the pain - this is indicated if the pain is better from doubling up and pressing against the painful area.

do you have any discharge? when was the last time you got your period? Did I understand right that this pain is there every week 3-4 times a week?

have you had any symptoms which point towards the menopause?

i got symptoms like that during my menopause. I was examined for endometriosis (get it checked if you feel it may be this) but was clear. In the end it was an ovarian cyst (harmless) causing all the bother. As I knew I ovulated more than once a month this made sense. At first I was confused as the periods were less and less. but now I understand and can tie the 2 together.
If the pain is disabling you should get it examined - a lot of doctors miss cysts so make sure this is checked for properly (they wanted to examine my bowels but I insisted on ultrasound scan which showed up the cysts). Believe me I am not one to rush for examinations but the pain bothered me a lot. I had no treatment, apart from homeopathy for the cysts and they are no problem now.

Hi elle
from what you tell me I don't think the remedies are causing the menstrual type cramps - the only way to really tell that would be to stop the remedies completely for a while and see if the symptoms disappears. But it sounds like it is a symptom that is there despite the action of the remedies. The only possibility of it being a result of taking the remedies is if it related back to any similar experience of pain you had after childbirth or after your abortions???
Don't worry about how to treat endometriosis unless you know you have it - wait and see what the exams show up, or don't show up!!! The same remedies would likely apply to you whether you had endometriosis or not.
The only other thought is whether you are prone to constipation - but I'm sure this would have occurred to you already and is probably a silly question on my part.
Did you check the symptoms of Colocynthis with the cramp symptoms - if this doesn't fit then give us more cramp symptoms so that a remedy compatible with staph can be suggested to ease your cramps.
Another natural way of dealing with cramps is to make some carraway tea. :)

Try diluting on when plussing instead of returning to the 'mother batch' for each new dose (read my 'plussing'msg dated 7 april). If you return to this mother batch you are going 'backwards' in the plussing.....this can cause unecessary aggravations.. :)
