An update: re Arnica 30 and my hairloss
Hi - thought it would be a good idea to post and update regarding my treatment as advised by Joe de Livera.Been taking the Arnica 30 pillules 2x twice daily for about 3 months now. I only use Johnson's bab shampoo as instructed.
The hair on my crown had gone and the hair at the front had started to thin.
Since taking this remedy I have hair all over my crown. Some stray dark hairs but mostly blonde (my hair is naturally dark brown) - the blonde hairs are thicker than the vellus hairs associated with hair loss.
The crown itself has the hair growing inwards. Where there was a pronounced circle before, it is now jagged - where the new hair is growing. I also have a 'swirl' of dark hair growing on the crown.
The hair at the front seems darker, so must be thicker and I can report no falling.
Thanks Joe. Words fail me.
This remedy really does work. If it doesn't work for you then Joe recommends Wiesbaden 200. I would stress that if one doesn't work then try another. It is obvious through my own, and other people's experience, that homeopathy works for hairloss.
:)

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Glad to learn that Arnica has helped your hair to grow back again.
I note however that you are taking the remedy in dry form. I now recommend using the water dose where just 3 pellets are dropped into 400ml bottle of spring water. You succuss the solution by banging 6 times on your open palm and this increases the potency of the remedy slightly which makes it more potent. You use just 1 teaspoonful of the water twice daily and a bottle of 400 ml should last you about 3 months.
I would suggest that you take Arnica for the rest of your life after it has helped your hair as you will discover, as I have done after using it for over 9 years daily, that it has positively helped me.
You may also consider using the Arnica Q/ Coconut Oil mix which I have discovered also promotes the growth of Hair. 20% Arnica Q mixed with Coconut oil to be lightly massaged on the scalp.
Thank you for confirming that Arnica works in the manner that I have recommended. This may help to squash the critics who often fault me for my "this for that" attitude where I prescribe the remedy for the ailment, in your case Arnica for Hair Loss.
Some of the 'classical' homeopaths feel that I should only suggest a remedy after a long process of 'case taking' which is really not convenient on a forum where I find that I am dealing with about 10 persons who want quick, sometimes instant, replies from me.

Hi Joe - I was taking the Arnica in the wet dose but was a bit worried that it might get tainted or contaminated, thus making it useless, and so began back using the pill form as a precaution.
What is Arnica q and how do I prepare the mixture?
Many thanks

It is unlikely that the water will get contaminated if you do not live in the tropics. Even here it is not strictly necessary to refrigerate but you may do so to ease your mind. The great advantage of using the succussed dose instead of the dru globules is that every time you hit the water hard and it fizzles, it increases its potency every so slightly which makes the remedy to be more effective.
Arnica Q is the Mother Tincture and you can get it from the same source you got your stock. You should get 10ml Arnica Q and mix it with 50ml Coconut oil and shake it well before you massage a few drops into your hair roots.

You state that you purchased Selenium and Thallium for your Hair Loss.
I regret that I have not used these remedies which are powerful chemicals and you are advised NOT to use them.

You do not have to 'preserve' in any way as it is good for about a year if tightly capped.

Arnica 30c is not sold in capsules and it is not used only for muscle sprain.
If the label states that it is Arnica Montana 30c and is in small round pellets you are OK. I prefer that patients use the Liquid Dilution in Ethanol as this is by far more effective.
Please follow my instructions on the post I copy below;

I have already replied your email this morning.
Please note that Lichen Planus cannot be confused with Hair Loss although this may also occur.
In my email I requested you to type Lichen Planus into Google and read the many hits for this term including some reference to a homeopath who claims to have cured it.

Hi,
Have a question on - 3 pellets are dropped into 400ml bottle of spring water..
i did that, but it is looking like normal water after that. it looked like 3 small pellets did not make any difference.
Also when i success it, it was like normal water, i didn't see any bubbles.
so was thinking if i did it in the correct way

I have since modified the instructions I gave in 2005 to make the Wet dose to read as follows on the basis of further evidence and research. I now instruct all who wish to use my therapy to make the Wet dose only with the Liquid Dilution in Ethanol of the remedy as I have ample proof that it is by far more effective than using the standard round pellets.
I copy my new instructions below:
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in a 5ml Ethanol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you take a capful which is the dose. Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done every time before a capful of the bottle is sipped as directed.

am confused. so you are saying not to use arnica Q and use liquid dilution(ethanol)

It is very important in using any medicine either Homeopathic or allopathic that the patient reads and understands the instructions given by the physician.
I shall copy my instructions from my first post above:
'I would suggest that you take Arnica for the rest of your life after it has helped your hair as you will discover, as I have done after using it for over 9 years daily, that it has positively helped me.
You may also consider using the Arnica Q/ Coconut Oil mix which I have discovered also promotes the growth of Hair. 20% Arnica Q mixed with Coconut oil to be lightly massaged on the scalp.'
Please note that the Arnica Q is not for internal use.

Further to my post above, I have since discovered that the percentage of Arnica Q can be reduced down to 10% as it seems to be equally effective. I have also tried a 5% mix and this too seems to give the same results on my own hair which at age 80 I still have in abundance although grey.
For the record I use Olive Oil as the Virgin Coconut oil marketed here in Sri Lanka where Coconuts are grown, is deodorized and purified using some petroleum based process which I felt could be harmful to the hair.

Arnica Q is the Mother Tincture and must not be confused with the potentized product like the 30c which is the 30th centismal potency made from the Mother Tincture or Q.
You can mail order them from the ABC store or from Washington Homeopathic Products whose address you can access on the web.

Joe,
I followed your wet method with the Arnica caplets for just over three months. I did notice new hair growth around my hairline. However, I started breaking out on my stomach and neck. My research on the side effects of Arnica, states that one should discontinue use if such a rash develops.
What do you suggest? Do you have another method? Thanks for you help.

I do not remember advising you on your hair loss but I am interested in your report of a reaction to Arnica which is very rare. I have had just one previous report and that occurred as a result of the patient taking a gross overdose of 4 pellets Arnica 200c 3 times daily for a month.
You must stop taking the remedy immediately and I would like to have precise details of the dosage you have taken with the potency of the Arnica.
Arnica has proved to be the Ultimate remedy for Hair Loss judging by the many reports similar to yours about the new hair you have seen on your scalp. I can vouch for it personally as at age 81 I still have a good head of hair thanks to practicing what I preach.
I regret that I am not aware of any other remedy and if your problem is a result of an overdose I shall advice you on how to proceed after I have your response.
