Liquid Remedies bought in Costa Rica

Hello, I'm a Japanese living in Japan. Could anybody please advise?

Since I have atopic dermatitis (eczema) I asked my parents living in Costa Rica to buy some remedies (graphites, sulpher, rhus tox, all 12C) so I could try, one by one.

But these remedies came in brown bottles and smell like alchohol...just like Bach flowers remedy or something.

I was only accustomed to sugar pillules, and don't know how to take these liquid ones. Could you please tell me?

I imagined the liquid would come in water form instead of alchohol

I was also a bit worried if these remedies are genuine or not

They come in plain small bottles and don't have little spouts to make droplets

Hello it's me again,

i just took a drop of sulpher under my tongue.

it stings... it's really strong alcohol.

maybe i should dilute it in water or something?

yes you can dilute the remedies in water.you did not mentioned the site of eczema. the medicines you advise may be wrong.however rhus venata 6c can be used without any particular symptoms.if you mention the detai i shall advise you the correct remedy.

thank you very much sajjadakram635 and salty.

i'm a 31 year old female, married with no kids.

i've had eczema throughout my lifetime but it got worse after working, maybe worse 7 years ago.

i've been off steroid creams for nearly 2 years now because i hate the addictive nature of it.

places affected are inside folds of arms, knees, hands, neck, area below neck, face, around ears and behind ears, nipples, near genitals, scalp, and in sweaty seasons like this, armpit, and bikini lines.

they are extremely itchy (esp fingers) and skin tends to be dry and scaly. there are blisters on fingers.

tends to scatch face raw and red.

not much oozing except for ears and nipples (i tend to pick the scabs off and it starts to ooze a bit)

itchy eyes and eyebrows.

eyes stuck together in morning. have to wash off amoebic eye pus every morning. eyes always irritated. blurry vision sometimes when tired

seems to be allergic to some kind of pollen too and can't keep eyes open in spring.

allergic to cats

blood tests say mildly allergic to dust and mites

sensitive to chemicals (i.e. shampoos and detergent rows in supermarkets)

rather constipated. stools knotty or sometimes soft i.e. bowel movement not so healthy

very sensitive to smell.

gets annoyed by bad music (rather grumpy)

i am short and petit, rather skinny and dark.

i'm always lazy, feeling very tired, diminished libido, diminished desire to do anything. always sleeping too much. PMS makes fatigue worse.

sleep is light and i dream alot. at times amorous, at times worrysome dreams.

i keep clean but i always look untidy and scruffy and can't care much how i look.

i'm also experiencing infertility. we've been trying for like 7 cycles.

i have tender breasts after ovulation till period and my doctor said my prolactin level in my blood was a bit high.

tend to have headaches (back of neck) and bellyache (air conditioning is killing me)

get chilly hands and feet in cold weather and under air conditioning.

stiff neck and shoulders.

when cold or lying face down, tend to get backache (upper left usually) accompanying with nipple pain.

i'm neither an extrovert nor an introvert. tends to be practical. i feel free to communicate with people using words, but not exceptionally talkative. i am talkative around my husband and rather dependant on him.

though i am calm at work, i tend to be analytic and critical sometimes of people surrounding me/society in general, and at home or with close people i might rant on and on, criticizing somebody's deeds. Could be judgemental. i used to have anger, frustration or passion (wanting to make things "right") about society but nowadays even that has gone. i feel tired without no particular stress.

i have no particular fear, but if something is worrying it may be the biological clock.

i also tend to have herpes simplex eruptions once in every six months or so, on places like cheeks, near eyes or on earlobes.

might have been triggerd by sunshine or fatige.

sometimes lympth nodes under ear or under chin (near throat) tends to get stiff and tired.

urination is very frequent and rather scanty each time.

tends to be sipping tea or water a lot, usually warm

even when legs get a bit bloated in the evening

dear thanks for lot of symptoms.i am studying your case and let you know the proper remedy.please also let me know the cause of your infertility.you must have childrens.without childrens life is much bored.however i am here to help you and shall contact you very soon.thanks.
 
sajjadakram635 last decade
remedies are originally made in liquid - alcohol-here 20%- is added so bacteria/fungi do not grow. And then they can be applied to carriers=these sugar pills. Sugar pills are not remedies!

Since you have many allergies you are very sensitive: start small: like a drop of remedy to glass with water, mix and take a sip)
 
Astra2012 last decade
thank you so much sajjadakram635 and Astra2012. I'm very sorry for my late response. Your posts have been very helpful.

my infertility is probably due to my rather high prolactin level in my blood, says my fertility clinic doctor. the high level causes my breasts to get tender in my high basal thermal temp phase, and probably it is the cause for my late ovulation (day 18 or 19 within an average of 30-day menstrual cycle, as opposed to day 14, 15, or 16 in very healthy individuals).

books say that prolactin is the hormone to secrete breast milk, so people with too high prolactin in blood causes the body to confuse that the body is already pregnant even when not, so as a result it supresses ovulation

my doctor says to take hormone pills to suppress my prolactin level, but i would rather try other methods for at least few cycles rather than meddle with my hormones.

my husband's sperms have been tested and they were healthy and intact.

i tend to be a bit paranoic.

the same thoughts and troubles circulate in my head. which is a pretty much a negative trait....
 
japan last decade

sajjadakram635 last decade
thank you very much sajjadakram635. i'm very grateful.


is it ok to take these remedies all at once?
 
japan last decade
yes you can take all these remedies combined.i hope you will keep on informing about the progress.thanks.
 
sajjadakram635 last decade
thank you very much. i plan to get the suggested remedies from costa rica again

meanwhile, before they arrive, i'll keep taking the sulpher at hand.

my eczema is getting a bit better but it's not very clear whether it's due to the sulpher that i've been taking. probably not.

the reason why i bought sulpher at first was because my symptoms got better at a sulpher rich spa.

though it may have not been the right remedy, it's good that these remedies basically don't do any harm.

do you think i should avoid bach flower remedies while taking homeopathic remedies?

i am avoiding them right now
 
japan last decade
You two are having a good time eh?
salty
 
saltOftheEarth last decade
bach flower remedies can be taken any time.no restriction in their repetition .but they are very slow in working.you can use sulpher but in low potency and donot repeat frequently.
 
sajjadakram635 last decade
yes thanku salty.prey for us to complete the cure.
 
sajjadakram635 last decade
thank you very much

this morning i tried the rhus tox that i have at hand.

by the afternoon i realised that i got a lymph node bump at the back of my left ear..

could this be aggravation from the rhus tox?

i get such ear complications rather often so i can't really tell...

i've had very stiff and tired neck since yesterday.
 
japan last decade
there is no aggravation from rhus tox .if you feel any problem about your neck you can use bryonia and cimicifuga.thanks for consultation.by the way what is Costa Rica.
 
sajjadakram635 last decade
thank you very much.

Costa Rica is a country in central america. that's where my parents live right now

i assume homeopathy in Costa Rica is much more advanced than in Japan
 
japan last decade
when you combine remedies, could you put one drop of each remedy into one glass of water?

in this case, how many remedies is too much in one go? 5? 7 maybe?
 
japan last decade
Please take psoranium seperately.and mix all other remedies in one glass.it wont matter.thanks.
 
sajjadakram635 last decade
thank you very much.

Btw while Ifm waiting for the 5 remedies to arrive, thankfully my condition has improved a bit. Notably my crusty dry face is now smoother. The lumpy lymph node behind my ear has diminished (I did rub a little bit of tea tree oil on it).

My neck has improved as well, though there are little scabs left. It could have been the effect of one of the remedies I took (sulpher, graphite, rhus tox) or it could have been the Crab Apple (Bach flower remedy) that I took and sprayed (diluted) on my skin. Spraying the diluted crab apple seems to help but it could be a placebo effect, Ifm not sure. The Crab Apple bought in Costa Rica seems to work better than the one from a UK brand one made in the US. c..Or it just could have been my slightly improved diet.

Anyhow, my skin symptoms change on a daily basis.

My fingers are still very itchy and cannot control scratching till the skin cracks open on the joints.

The impression I have on true healing now is that it could be a bit of a bumpy road but some course of symptoms are kind of inevitable.

Now if I could be a more gpatienth patient...
