The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Please help Female Issues- UPDATE at end. Help again please. Page 2 of 3

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hi, Unfortunately, you will not find much info. on the internet regarding the remedy Origanum Majorana. However, your total picture with your state and all symptoms were taken into account to arrive at this remedy. Especially, your statement that 'I used to masturbate regularly if sex wasn't available' will bring the symptoms you are dealing with. Although, the symptoms are not that strong at the moment, but, these will get worse in the future. Previous treatments with similar symptoms were successful by taking this remedy.

It is really up to you to take this remedy, but, it is very safe and have no side effects.

Many prayers for your good health.

Regards
Nawaz

I will take it for sure. I was just curious in my attempt to better understand myself.

I was hoping to start it today, but it was not available at my homeopathy store.

I have a question. I regularly use the essential oil Oil of Oregano, which is course is not marjoram, but vulgaris. I'm just wondering is taking the essential oil four0five times a year when I am feeling a cold or flu come on could have been what loweerd my libido in that the homeopathic marjoram is indicated for that?

You can prove any remedy that you take too much of, even if it is curative. This can happen either because the size of the dose has not been altered (by using Split Dose) or because too low a potency is being used repeatedly. My assumption here is that you are taking far too low a potency, as many of your symptoms are mental and emotional, so the level at which 30c is affecting is too superficial (does not hold). Proving a remedy does not make it the wrong one, although it certainly doesn't make it the right one either. One must have some relationship with a remedy to be able to prove it at all.

No homoeopathic remedy is perfectly safe - if used inappropriately they can create new symptoms, or suppress current ones and create worse problems for you. The key word of course is inappropriately - when used carefully and according to our guidelines, our medicines are amongst the safest in the world. Nothing that has power to heal, has no power to harm. As the Law of Similars shows us, what can cause harm, can also cure it. It is two edges of the same blade.

The state of Pulsatilla is almost the exact opposite of Sepia. They crave affection and are one of the most physically affectionate of all our known remedies (close to Phosphorous in this regard). They cannot get enough consolaton and love, they demand more and more, almost like a sponge they absorb it. Most people cannot give Pulsatilla all they need, although when they find a partner in whose lap they can sit for the longest time, they will cling to them.

Dr. Rajan Sankaran on PULSATILLA from his 'Soul of Remedies'

The main feeling in Pulsatilla is that of softness. It is like the windflower which must bend to every gust of wind in order to survive. Translated into the human situation, it is the feeling: 'I will survive if I am soft and gentle, not hard and rigid.'
It is as if there is an inner weakness in the Pulsatilla woman which is not able to face the hardness of the world. Consequently, she tries to cover it up by finding soft, caressing, gentle people from whom she can get the tenderness she so badly misses and needs. In a sense there is a kind of childishness, girlishness in Pulsatilla; she remains stuck at puberty and is afraid of even facing men, of facing sexuality.
In order to get the affection she needs, she herself can be very affectionate and caring. She can weep easily, is sympathetic. If she is not able to get what she seeks, she feels extremely forsaken, as if alone in the world.
Pulsatilla can be servile, mild and submissive. What is less easy to see is the selfish motive behind it. Behind this affection is greed, jealousy and the desire to get all the attention for oneself.

he patients are always ameliorated by weeping and from consolation even though sometimes they can also have silent grief. There is a tendency to get easily frightened and to suffer ailments from fright.
In my observation, most Pulsatilla persons seem effeminate. They are very dependent and seem to invite a warm caress or a hug and words of sympathy. Their moods change easily. They can take religiousness to the point of fanaticism. Pulsatilla can develop strong fixed ideas regarding religion (Thuja) or about food.

n Indian classical music, Raga Dhira Shankarabharanam, corresponding to the Raga Alhaiya Bilawal, seems to correspond to Pulsatilla. It brings out feelings of warmth and of losing the warmth. In the Indian proving of this Raga, the feelings of warmth and love came up strongly, while amongst the western audiences, the feeling of sadness and loneliness came up more prominently.



In some ways Origanum majora is also the opposite of Sepia and in some ways it shares similarities. Their sexual cravings are one of their main problems - their desire is excessive, driving the to masturbate almost compulsively. Orig belongs to the Mint family of plants (Labiatiae) which as a group shares these characteristics:

Excitement which is vivid, pleasant, tremulous
Exhileration, rush of ideas, loquacity, vivacity, enjoyment.
Physical excitability and irritability.
Ailments or sensitivity to unpleasant surprises, fright.

OR an Opposite state of :

Lack of excitability
Lack of reaction to external things
Numbness

Which creates in them:

Mirth
Industriousness
Amelioration from movement

So the feeling of Labiatae remedies is the kind of excitement you get from a big party, from going to a huge sports event, from going to Mardi Gras! It is like falling in love, being with a highly exciting sexual partner, eating an amazing feast of different foods with intense tastes and flavours.

Origanum lies in the Syphilitic miasm, and so there is Despair, suicidal feelings, hopelessness. Their intense desire for excitement, especially sexual excitement, can destroy their lives. It creates such guilt and depression in them, they don't wawnt to live. They feel like they are in hell, that their sexual activities has ruined their chances for salvation, that they are lost to God, to hope.

We actually see a number of people on this board expressing this exact feeling around sexual activity and masturbation. They talk about how their lives have been destroyed by masturbation, how it has destroyed and deformed their genitals. It is an intense deep state.

So I cannot tell you for sure that Sepia is definitely your simillimum. However, you certainly show a strong Sepia state, and using too low a potency will do nothing but irritate that state not cure it. If you presented to me in clinic, that would be my first step - to increase the potency and attempt to change the deeper levels.

It is also VERY important to use split dose when you take repeat doses. If you are not doing that, you could be harming yourself that way too.

Could you please explain to me 'split dose?' I am sorry. I know just enough about homeopathy to be a pain in the butt to actual homeopaths I think...

I worry that you will feel that I am taking advantage of your time, but I am very curious.

In every single way, I feel what you mean about sepia. My mother-in-law who has studied homeopathy for twenty years within her family feels that it is my constitution.

The thing that I wonder though is, when you talk about the silent grief in pulsatilla. When I look inward at my problems, I feel as though my still birth and my lonely, silent grief from that is what has caused my current issues. Could that be why pulsatilla has been helping?

In regards to masterbating prior. Is the homeopathic stance that masterbation is in some way always a negative thing?

I see what both of you are saying, but I'm indecisive as which I should try first.

In respecting you both for your time and effort and wisdom, I want to be open to either. Can you tell me, in the even that only one is the perfect one, and assuming there is no way to know for sure which it is... is there one that as a consensus would be more beneficial for me to try first? I understand that sometimes the order and timing of remedies impacts it's effects. Would one be a safer route to try first.

Originally, my main concern was just my urination issue. I wanted so badly for that to stop.

Now though, you two are both giving me hope that perhaps many other trials I live with may be able to be healed. I would love for that to happen.

Haha you are not being a pain - I love talking about homoeopathy - I taught it for 7 years and I live and breathe it :)

SPLIT DOSE INSTRUCTIONS

Firstly, you need to create a separate dosing bottle. Get a bottle with a dropper, 15-30mls in size, and fill it with a mixture of water and alcohol (5 parts to 1 part). Dissolve 2-4 granules or 2-4 drops of the medicine you bought from the pharmacy into this mixture. Your doses will be made from this bottle.

Hit the bottle firmly against the palm of your hand, or another elastic surface like a book. It should be a firm hit not a tap. 2 hits is enough to begin with, and should not be increased unless it is clear that it is needed. The water in this bottle will 'remember' the number of times you have hit it, so that subsequent doses will be stronger (necessary to overcoming the resistance of your disease).

Place 1 drop into an amount of water - I may start with anything from 1/4-1 full cup (62ml-250ml) depending on the sensitivity of the patient. Stir thoroughly and take 1 teaspoon into the mouth. Throw the rest of the cup away.

This is one dose. Repeat doses would be started from the 2 hits on the bottle.

Each step of this process can be adjusted to reduced aggravation or to increase the effect of the medicine. In order to be able to do this, it is important to measure each step (count the hits, the drops, measure the water etc).

Homoeopathy does not consider masturbation negative at all. However, there are some people on this board that do, mostly I think for religious reasons. Masturbation, like any healthy activity, can become unhealthy if it is done excessively, or if it is abstained from. Sexual suppression/repression actually causes a lot of health problems.

All I have tried to do is present you with the reasons that I would give Sepia here. You are not strictly speaking my patient, or anyone's patient here, so I guess you have to make up your own mind. I am in no way saying that I am 100% sure you are Sepia - nobody could do that until you are cured (or well on your way). But if you are Sepia, and you avoid it because 30c didnt cure all your symptoms, it would be a great tragedy. You could spend months or years having one remedy thrown at you after another, when the solution got passed by. That is why I am always cautious about moving on too quickly past any remedy that has a beneficial effect.

The only thing I will say to you, is that Homoeopathy works one way - through the Law of Similars. Similarity of a remedy must be as deep as it can be, right down to the most basic issues, for the remedy to work as your Simillimum (perfect remedy). The closer it is to your basic problems, the more of you that the remedy fits (in terms of the negative aspects) the more likely it is to cure.

OK, I've heard of that before but I've heard it called something else.

Thank you so much.
 
Dawnnoelle1045 last decade
Oh, but in the case of the boiron pellets, how would I dissolve the hard pellet without shaking?
 
Dawnnoelle1045 last decade
Hi, As it is my duty to state some facts on this forum for your good health. Someone's intrusion during your treatment here is not to help you, but, to hurt me. You are already in pain and suffering and you have not done any harm to anyone on this forum.

Someone has already done this on so many threads by confusing and making patients run away from this beautiful forum. So, please be careful. I can provide you with the links of those threads, if needed?

But, someone's statement that 'Sexual suppression/repression actually causes a lot of health problems.
' is correct, fortunately.
 
nawazkhan last decade
I always get pillules or granules, or at least the liquid form of the remedy. The tablets are quite difficult to dissolve so I don't find them all that useful.

Dry doses will not be helping you manage your problems long term. Adopting the split dose method is one step towards getting the most out of homoeopathy.

If you want to pursue Sepia further, I would suggest moving straight to 200c rather than going on with the 30c.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I would like to wish you well with Brisbanehomoeopath.
 
nawazkhan last decade
I will be trying both remedies. I come from a perspective that there is not just one way to cure nor one way to use homeopathy, so I respect both of your input and time. I would love to know if there is one remedy that would be better to try first given the nature of the order of certain remedies though.

I am sorry that I've brought conflict with my problem. It certainly isn't my intent.

I love this forum, and will continue with it. I think its tremendous value lies within the varied educated opinions of many different homeopaths. So, while I may be confused about what should be my very next step, I am grateful to have had two dedicated intelligent healers helping me. I thank you both very much.
 
Dawnnoelle1045 last decade
I have given the pictures of all 3 remedies. Which one suits you best? My professional opinion is Sepia but in the end you are the one who is suffering.

You did not bring any conflict. Nawaz and I often argue - it is nothing to do with you.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
So what is your decision on the remedies?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
'You did not bring any conflict. Nawaz and I often argue - it is nothing to do with you.'

David is right, please follow his treatment.
 
nawazkhan last decade
By the way Nawaz, because we have been arguing so much, I didn't compliment you on one thing here in choosing Orig.

There is a peculiar that not I think not many people would have picked up on - that Orig women can be sexually excited by the prospect of marriage (or of having children with their partner as Dawn here said).

It is possible that an Origanum woman might become Sepia due to an event like childbirth or pregnancy. There are connections between these two choices.

I just wanted to say that to you.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
BTW, I see some ice melting, good symptom:) I greatly appreciate the comments!

Patients as usual, like all of us, are the victims of circumstances, therefore, are unable to describe all of their problems due to several factors. So, there is a lot of noise in the data. A professional, well trained, skilled and experienced homoeopath like you will consider this noise in selecting a correct remedy.

Again, Sepia, in my considered opinion, will lead to future irregular periods especially in the potency you are recommending. You guys may take the risk and find out.
 
nawazkhan last decade
I am still here.

And the problem still remains as the discussions we had left me so unsure.

Lately, I have found that I am scared of having sex with my husband. He is a very kind gentle man. And I love him very much. So I do not understand where this comes from. Sometimes, I get so tense about it that sex will hurt unless he does something to help me relax.

I would very much like to move forward on a remedy, but I know from reading through forums that jumping the gun and just trying remedies is not a good thing.

So, i have waivered on which of your suggestions to use and consequently done nothing.

I have also started developing anxiety in general again which I haven't had in years. Panic attacks and such.

Lastly, I have developed an extreme distaste for noise such as my children arguing, static, the TV, cell phones, etc.

I was hoping that these new symptoms would help us decide for sure which of these remedies is best for me.

Thank you for your time in advance.
 
Dawnnoelle1045 last decade
One more thing, most of my issues, if not all... started shortly after I had my tubes tied.
 
Dawnnoelle1045 last decade
Hi,

Welcome Back.

Please wait for David to continue your treatment.

More prayers for your happy and healthy life.

Regards
Nawaz
 
nawazkhan last decade
It doesn't affect my first choice of remedy as they are not particularly peculiar.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
200C then in a split dose FIRST?

Is there a particular time of day I should try? Symptoms are aggravated in the evening. Unless I am stressed by something.

I really want to do this right and I know homeopathy can be tricky.

How long do I wait to redose?
 
Dawnnoelle1045 last decade
I did nothing for a while to clear out anything I had done before.

Early this week, I took the Sepia 200C.

An hour later (if that) I got peeing pains and irritation as bad as ever before. I presumed this was a healing reaction. Right? So, I just suffered through. It lasted about an hour and was followed by the worst sore throat I've had since I had strep throat and scarlet fever about nine years ago.

That lasted about 3 hours.

Since then, I have been much more calm. Exchanges with my children have been better and my anxious feeling of being on edge all day and night has gone away.

About three days into it, with no new dose, I (presumably) bit my left cheek way at the back. Else it became inflamed. In addition, it feels as though I am 'teething' my upper back left wisdom tooth. I have pain in that tonsil and the soft palate way back there. Even my jaw and back left ear hurt. Though I have no fever or anything. I am exhausted.

I've also developed three small facial cysts, which I have put clove oil on (one ruptured, two remain.)

I've also developed bad gas pains.

My over all mood is wonderful in spite of all of this.

Is this just a healing crisis?

Should I redose? Should I wait until nothing happens? Should I take something else instead?
 
Dawnnoelle1045 last decade
know you are very busy, but I don't know what to do.

I feel healing, but I also feel worse in some respects. I don't know what I should do now.

I keep randomly sobbing today as well, though I am not in a PMS phase. Last night I had a bad dream as well. I don't usually have bad dreams. Also, today my jaw feels pretty locked up.
 
Dawnnoelle1045 last decade
I suggest retaking the Sepia 200c. I also suggest purchasing 1M of Sepia (but do not take it yet).

Let me know how a repeat dose affects you.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I will do it now, since I do not have to go to work again until Monday.

Thank you.

BTW, since I last posted, the jaw pain is starting to diminish... and the cystic pimples are already shrinking. In the past, they would last a month or two. I feel a mucus draining from my left tonsil and the taste is gross, but the pain is slowing going down. The cheek inflammation is almost completely gone now too.

The main issue now is a feeling of TMJ that used to be fairly chronic a few years back and a slight pain which was horrible just a few hours ago.

All of these issues are old issues stemming back either many months or many years that had gone away.

If I am truly healing, I will owe you eternal gratitude.
 
Dawnnoelle1045 last decade
I can not find my sepia. I will purchase another one tomorrow. I have only had the one dose so far of the 200.
