Sabra,

Since I took the Nat Mur by mistake, my normally dry hands have become so irritated and dry that I cannot bend my swollen fingers without them cracking and bleeding. They are extremely painful.

Also, I have had an incredible amount of congestion in my head - I blow my nose constantly. This is not very typical for me.

I have been having lots of memories from the past as well. I find myself quite angry and resentful....not a good way to be. I keep reinforcing the positive but the anger still comes in waves.

Is all of this a good thing? I am never sure whether symptoms are induced by a remedy or released by it.

Thanks,
Jen

Dear Jen,
There are many remedies that may be good for us. As you are reliving things, this is a good sign. I do not believe things happen for no reason. This must meant to have happened for some reason. Divine intervention?

Let trust and peace come into your life and this will pass soon. I believe the Echinacea is the larger healing and won't have so many increased symptoms. Wait 'till you feel better to take it.

You have so MANY old things to "clean" out and it is happening. Examine the old memories and be forgiving to "them" and mainly to yourself. Let these things lift you up in awareness, not drag you down.

Examine the anger and place it in a loving package and set it "back" where it belongs, in the past. Put it back with the younger you. It is today...NOW. The past has memories, let them stay there.

Anger and emotion cause a lot of mucus and congestion. Angry people have more colds than happy people. This is your "past" being blown all out into throw away tissues. When this is over, you will feel remarkable. You won't recognize yourself or your feelings.

Be at peace.

Write soon.

Blessings, Sabra

Do you think that homeopathy can help with a confidence problem (lack of)? I feel like an old wooden desk that someone has painted over many times.

Do you think that I can ever get to the bottom? Just wondering.........

Sabra,

You give me hope..... that is probably the best gift anyone can ever give to another.

I am following your advice, I will let go of my anger and send it back to the past. I've been walking in heavy shoes for the last few years and now I am looking forward to travelling light.

The congestion in my head is starting to subside and I am seeing some changes in my skin; slightly less facial hair, and softer skin overall. My hands are a little less dry and they seem to be peeling in places. Also, I feel like my body is retaining more water which I think is a good thing because I was really feeling old and dried up.

Good things are happening and I really look forward to taking the echinacea. Thank you so much!!

You are doing well in spite of "all the facts."

If you seem to continue to have unexpected swellings, get some APIS M. in 200X. This is a remedy for many things having to do with swelling, known or unknown. It even takes care of anaphylactic shock. (thinking of your fingers)

Keep going and when feeling down, take a hint from a little child that falls, they get right up and keep going. They cry and then forget it and try again until they master whatever they are learning. Be good to yourself.

Blessings, Sabra

Sabra,

I wanted to give an update. My hands are better; all the cuts and cracks have healed. It was very strange how many cuts just appeared on my fingers by just bending my fingers. However, my hands are so "wrinkley". My hands look like they belong to an 80 year old- very odd. I never spent any time in the sun because I am very pale so they are not sun wrinkles.

In fact, I really avoid the sun because I have always felt unwell in the sun. My eyes always tear in the sun and I cannot see at all unless I have very dark sunglasses on.

As I mentioned before, I have had a lot of anger released from the dose of Nat Mur 200. Should I keep waiting for the rest of the physical complaints to subside or do I take another dose or just move on to the echinacea? I forgot to mention that the last few days I have felt enormous pain in some of the areas where I had the surgery. So much so that I have just wanted to lie down most of the time but it has recently gotten better.

Do you have any suggestions? I remember from my reading that Nat Mur is a polycrest remedy and that it is works slowly over a long period of time... I am just a beginner though and have little confidance in my judgement as far as homeopathy goes.

I want you to know that I really appreciate your help. I have never met you but you have profoundly affected my life. Your writing "Living in the Now" and your thoughtful comments have somehow changed my thinking. I approach life differently. Thank you!!

Best Wishes,

Jen

You are most welcome Jen. We are all "one" and when a "part" needs adjusting, it behoves us all to help.

I made a vow to help others when I could, when I was a young helpless mother worried about life. I was "given" homeopathy right after my vow. So I could do no less.

You are doing well. I believe you were "led" to take the Nat Mur. If it has been a week, you could take one more dose, but no closer. This time it should be easier.

It is my favorite remedy for myself. Interesting?

I want young people to learn to love themselves and recover from all the hurts and confusion before they are too old to enjoy it! I didn't understand until I was 45 and then had to learn how to put it to use.

I used to practice what to say when I was coming out of being silent. I went forth terrified to overcome the terror. I faked when I had fear. I faked until I really was brave. I forget when I lost all fear. One day I noticed it...gone.

I had to "learn" to love. I asked God to give me his love for humanity as I didn't know how. And he did.

Let this happen to you. It will just because you want it. Be of good cheer and Know you are loved.

Blessings, Sabra

Dear Jen,
Your life story has touched me deeply. I had to write and tell you that you ARE on the path to healing and every day from now will be a day further along this blessed path of light and love.

My childhood was also complex and largely unhappy, and I know how it feels to have a mountain of deep seated 'stuff' to work through. Yes all our 'stuff' may differ qualititively but rage, despair, abandonment - these are what they are.

Now i am a healer and i atune and work with energy, with awareness, trying to live through my heart to help others. Bur first we must begin to heal ourselves. And doesnt this work feel like peeling a neverending onion? Layer upon layer bound up with one another. As long as we live we will be learning what it is to love, how to love ourselves. And what Sabra writes is so ,so important as our thought is energy , energy which manifests our reality - and as we know - mind-body-soul is all our one 'onion', if you like. Our whole energy begins to transform when our negative conditioned beliefs become more postitive and our heaviness gives way to a lightness of being. We allow our bodies to heal - we give ourselves PERMISSION to heal when we choose not to punish ourselves anymore. You see, we carry so much that ISN'T EVEN OURS on so many levels - our parents' 'stuff' that they never dealt with - in fact this was my biggie .."why do i have to take responsibility for the healing of myself when x or y or z can't acknowledge, less take responsibility for ANYTHING." And then i realised that the buck rested with me, that this was the essense of my responsibility - not to anyone BUT MYSELF to live & love differently. To empower my future generation with that transformation.

I sense the same warrior in you Jen. Never lose sight of your inner poise, honour and strength - what in your life you've turned to gold - your choice of partner, your children. Your self-worth is mirrored by those you have chosen to love and love you in return.

The homeopathy is such a wonderful 'way in' and i'm sure will bring profound results. I would recommend spiritual healing also, if you could find an experienced soul healer (energy will follow thought, remember, so if you ask , it will come...)

The original reason i set out to reply was to give you a poem that i wrote years ago for myself. Now it's for you Jen.

HYMN TO HER

I saw her last some time ago
My rugged woman-girl
In sponged armour, shining
belonging to the battle
unannounced. Warrior unsung!
Ripe for all you believe.
Until the shame
soured belief
so heavy-hearted
so young in blame, you see.

Love, I sing you now!
Your exiled guts and glory
burst forth seed. Brandish
from that same wound of kin
unerring belief our sword within.
Come. Less raw the way,
less wild.
And we an army be.
Woman, girl, child.


With love & light. xxx

Lovely, and full of wisdom, may you continue in daily growth and wisdom of the crone in every way.

Blessings to you too Sabra. Thank you for these words and for your compassion and diligence concerning others here.

Carlotta,
Thanks for your kind words. It is a daily battle to let go of those "old ghosts" that haunt you from the past -I am getting better each day at not letting the negative words from my father creep back into my mind.

It is very important to me to infuse my two children with a positve, healthy self-image and confidance.

How long did it take you to feel mentally and physically whole? What size was your onion? I hope that my onion is small!!

Best Wishes,

Jen

Sabra,

I know that I reported that my facial hair had gotten better but now it is much worse. I feel so "un-feminine" in every sense.
The hair on my legs is extremely course.

My hands have become so dehydrated again - like an old grape with all of the water sucked out.

My head hair loss is always depressing.... and what is there is rapidly greying with course, wirey hairs.

My husband looks much younger and I feel insecure about that. I know that all of this sounds superficial but the symptoms are quite severe. It takes me 20 minutes a day to pluck out all of the facial hair and I am of English-Irish decent.

All of this began right after the lipo surgery. Do you have any thoughts on the facial hair -head hair loss?
I was very feminine before the surgery.

I did take one more dose of Nat Mur 200 last night. Do you think the Echinacea will address this or do think sabal serrulata coul?. I already take saw palmetto in herbal capsule form which helps but it is not a cure by any means.

Best Wishes,

jen

Hi Jen,

Ha! I laughed at the onion question.. : ) Well, I think our onions can go on forever (.. after all yin cannot be without yang in life.. ) but it's how we feel as we 'peel' which changes for the stronger.

Imagine the intensity with which we can cry at times at our own pain. We can cry from the depths of our souls and seemingly no one understands us.

Now think of when you peel an onion and chop it up and how it stings your eyes and make you cry.

Both times the outcome is the same: the tears. But who hurts from their depths of their soul from the chopping of an onion?

I don't mean that the goal is to null yourself to the point that you don't feel a thing. Rather that the pains which are your trigger don't end up hurting like they did anymore. This is the joy of peeling your onion ... : ))


For what it's worth I would guess that the huge emotional trauma of the lipo has caused your endocrine system to produce more androgens (male-associated hormones), hence the hair.

What is going on with the hair/skin is just the surface. What you need to get to is the underlying emotions/beliefs about yourself that the symptoms are rooted in.

Your consitutional remedy/s will get to work on this. I am taking Silicea in lowest potency and it is so right for me that it's re-organising me on every level. Truly amazing to go through.

Jen, last thing - which country do u live ?
 
carlotta last decade
Carlotta,

I am a beginner at homeopathy but I find it a daunting task to determine one's constitutional remedy. I have had pretty extreme reactions to every remedy I have ever taken over the last ten years (about 6 or so). I guess that means that there is a lot to correct!!

If a remedy produces an aggravation do you then increase its potency in the next dose or just repeat with the original dose?

I cannot wait to get to the core of "my onion". I would like to try life with a bowl of cherries instead of onions!!

If you don't mind me asking, what led tyou to take low potency silicea? I have tried this remedy in the past and have experienced all sorts of splinters coming out of my skin...it was pretty amazing. I had taken a 1 M potency. I would like to take it again for the surgical scarring and for hair at some point along with thiosinaminum but, I have to finish with the nat mur first and echinacea, as Sabra recommended.

By the way, I live in the USA.

Best Wishes,

jen

I am not a homeopath, but I was interested in what you said about feeling as though your stomach was hollow. This corresponds to something I was once read about the meridians in the human body, that surgery in the stomach can sometimes interfere with meridian balance. Therefore, I am extrapolating that yoga or acupuncture would also provide you support in returning balance to your body. While both can be expensive, I have found some good books in the library with simple routines for yoga. You might look in an encyclopedia of yoga for positions providing support to your specific ailments.
 
Momma last decade
Dear "Momma",

I think that you misunderstood, I did not have surgery anywhere on my torso; only extremities and hips.

I think that what you say is probably true since the body is one whole being and any interference will disrupt the entire mechanism.

I have had some acupuncture in the past but I am short on funds at the moment. I love to stretch and workout but I must admit I don't have a much patience for yoga. I had two classes for a year and that was that. much prefer intense aerobics or strenuous walking...

Thanks for your reply.... I really appreciate your thoughts.

Best Wishes,

Jen

Sabra,

I took another dose of nat mur 200 and I have extremely dry hands again and more cuts all over my hands - like twenty paper cuts; ouch!

I feel a lot of rage too and I don't know what to do with it. Is this a good thing?

I was wondering if a person gets a strong reaction from a remedy do you increase the potency with each dose until there is relief or do you use the same potency again?

I am not sure when to stop the nat mur and move on to echinacea..... Do you have any advice? I don't want to burden you with too many questions.. I hope all is well with you.

Best Wishes,

Jen

Hi Jen

I would think that you do not increase potency, on the contrary this is the indication that the remedy is doing its work, and to lay off another dose until symptoms subside. You don't want to "nag" it. But i am not a homeopath so please wait for Sabra's response .

The silicea for me is for some mild acne scarring. It's actually bringing up some spots at the moment , but it really feels like a process and i am delighted with the rememdy (am taking silicea 6c as per kuldeep threads) so i think i'll keep with it. Silicea is very deep acting, so am not suprised you had reaction as you did.

Maybe further down the line you can go with this remedy again.

yes, yes , and a bowl of cherries would be nice !!

take care and keep posting

Hi Jen, sorry, I have been watching and then the once I didn't, there you are.

It is time to discontinue the Nat. Mur. You have had enough.

Wait about 5 days from the last dose of NM and begin the ECHINACEA as directed.

Hopefully you are realizing it is HOMEOPATHIC Echin?

Another got caught up in the herbal form. It works differently when made up homopathically.

I know you are so very uncomfortable, but we never know what action the body will take when getting rid of allopathic suppression. I promise you, it will pass.

Blessings, Sabra
 
sabra last decade
ECHINACEA 10M. Must be 10M. One dose each week for 6 weeks. Yes, only one per week. This must be done slowly so you are comfortable.

Remember, it has 3 last names, all the same remedy. I wrote it on a past posting here on your thread.

Blessings, Sabra
 
sabra last decade
Thanks Sabra,

I will begin with the echinacea 10M. I have had a lot of changes with the nat mur and some of it has been pretty uncomfortable.

I have felt a lot of anger these past few weeks....... something that I am not accustomed to. I have always felt hurt or disappointment - not anger. I guess that it is good that I let go of it since it has been buried for a long time. I do feel lighter and my upper back and neck is not quite so tight.

Also, I have noticed that I am more open to others. When I was younger, I was so open and friendly. As things piled on over the years, things changed.... I became closed off and much more insecure (especially after the surgery/ hair loss).

Since the nat mur, there hasn't been too many physical changes other than extremely dry hands that crack and bleed. I had 9 band aids on at one time - the cuts were so bad! They are still extremely dry but with less cracking and bleeding. However, they look like the skin of a raisin.... completely dehydrated and wrinkley everywhere (yuck)! My hair is also like straw.

I will post after I take the echinacea.

Best Wishes,

jen

Anger is the roots to all negative feelings, hurt, dissapointments, and depression. People with depression have stuffed their anger far away.

Keep up the good work. Keep looking in the mirror and teach your eyes to "see" the real you. The loving one that cares about others.

Remember to care about yourself FIRST. Then you will have enough to give it out.

Blessings, Sabra

Sabra,

That makes a lot of sense to me!

I now understand how harmful it can be to always put up with others "negativeness" and negative situations just because they are family. I really wish for my family to be different and I do want the best for them but I now know that I can't sit in the middle of all of their mess and let it impact my life anymore.

I wish it hadn't taken me this long to come to this understanding.... I could have spared myself a lot of hurt. I guess most of us feel this way at times in life ... a lesson learned a bit late is better than never learned at all!

Thanks,

Jen

Sabra,

Can I take arnica 30c as Joe recommends for people with hair loss concurrently with the echinacea 10M?

I am unsure whether high and lower potencies will cross react and if it is a good/bad idea to utilize multiple remedies at one time. Thanks for any advice....

Best Wishes,

Jen

Hi Jen,

My name is Abbie, I'm 22 and i recently had liposuction. Like you i was curvy but the thing is everyone told me I had a nice figure except for certain members of my family. It was always you should exercise, firm up, things like that. I also went through a lot of traumatic situations in my life. Then i gained about 10 pounds and no matter what just couldnt lose them so i resorted to liposuction. What a big mistake. Like you i was left with many hollow areas, stretchmarks, and loose skin and i completely lost my curves. i dont feel feminine or sexy anymore. I have been so depressed and dont feel like socializing anymore. I dont even want to look for work anymore. i just sit at home and when i do go out i am there but not really there if u get what i mean. I started going to the gym to make myself feel better but it still isnt enough to lift my mood. Have you been able to find a rememdy for the emotional and physical parts of u. i would really appreciate any help u could give me. I feel like i am tearing myself apart. i hate myself more than before.
