what's the dosage for Ignatia Amara?

Thank you very much Dr.! I'll keep you posted.

Is this the only medicine I require for both the problems, gastritis and vaginal infection?

Hi Dr.Khan,

My gastritis seems to be getting worse, but I don't know if it's because of medicine. On the other side, my infection hasn't gotten worse, but it's too early for me to say if it's going away.

Please tell me what my next plan of action should be.

Thank you!

I took it from last Wednesday to Friday.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure exactly what changes I should be looking for. I haven't noticed any change in my moodiness yet and I still don't like too much closeness with anyone. But, I feel like crying time to time. At times I feel heavy in my heart and I feel like letting it out. Sometimes a movie scene, a thought triggers my feeling to cry and other times I feel like crying for no reason.

So please tell me what I should do.

Thank you!

Hi Dr.,

I have to special order liquid medicine so it takes a week to two weeks to get the medicine. Can I take pellets instead?

And what potency do I need?

Thank you!

Hi Dr. Khan,

I finally procured Pulsatilla Q. Is it safe to take it during menses? Thank you!
