did you ever take sepia 1m?
♡ rishimba 9 years ago
Take a single dose of SEPIA 1M once it arrives.
Let me know the changes after 15 days. If the changes are positive, you can repeat when you think you need it again...but no sooner than once a month.

Hi Rishi,
I still haven't received Sepia 1M. Actually my dad was in India and he was suppose to get it, but he ended up getting Sepia 10M by mistake. Now, I have to wait a little more in order to receive it.
Meanwhile, I've been taking Sepia 200 according to need. I just want to notify you of some improvements and other problems. I had problems with leukorrhea which is almost completely gone now. Acne is intermittent. Sometimes more and sometimes barely present. I'm unable to identify a pattern but it definitely does get better while I'm on the dose. One problem I've been experiencing though is excess sweating (only underarms) and foul smell as a result.
Also, I wanted to ask you. Does homeopathy offer any solution to TMJ problems? I have clicking in my right jaw...little pain as well sometimes during stress. Overall also, my right side of the face is not as full as the left side, so my face looks asymmetrical. Surgery is the only option, I've been told. Let me know if you have some advice for me.
Thanks!

Please put down all your problems due to TMJ with respect to its location, sensation and pains, modalities and most probable immediate causes. I can certainly try to suggest a suitable remedy. In case the remedy doesn't sh ow response, you can go under the knife. At least with homeopathy you don't lose anything but stand a chance to avoid a surgery.
Also, if your face looks a bit asymmertical, send to me the pic of your face where this is most evident. This will give me a better idea of its
location.
Now, with regard to sweating, let me tell you, fresh sweat doesn't smell much. Also, sweating is fine for the individual and one should not suppress it. Drink a lot of water and take shower twice. Also, the smell of sweat does depend on the kind of food we eat...so I guess a simple veggie diet with less of onion and garlic would be best for you if you wanted to avoid the smell.

TMJ problem is on the right side.
I do certain jaw exercises like opening my mouth as much as I can to relieve my jaw but at times when I forget to do the clicking in my jaw increases...its like my right side of the face gets locked. I can't open my jaw. During stress also this problem exacerbates and I experience some pain. Overall, there is little pain and much annoyance over this problem.
The problem started when I was 13 and I got braces. At one point my jaw (right side) starting locking so severely that I couldn't even open my mouth and the pain I experienced when I trued to open my mouth was piercing sharp. I notified my orthodontist about my problem but she ignored it saying it was nothing then for about 2 or 2 and half years this problem continued as it was. Sometimes the jaw pain would go away and my mouth would open with little problem and sometimes the same pain and discomfort would return.
Then later, at around 16 or 17 years age, my dad noticed the asymmetry in my face and since then I've been doing many face yogas, exercises, filling my mouth with water and my right side of the face has developed significantly at least relatively but still there is clicking and discomfort....sometimes more and sometimes tolerable.
Here's one of my recent picture, sorry I've had to blur the features. I'm a bit wary about posting stuff on the internet. I hope its not a problem.

The picture's right side you can see looks more fuller and the shape is good. The left side (my right side) is relatively depressed.

Please take a weekly dose of RHUS TOX 1M and continue it for at least a month or till you are completely fine.
I feel this can be cured but possibly may take a few months.
This will be known after your feedback after one month.

Can I substitute it with Rhus Tox 200? If yes, how many doses? Actually getting these medicines is a bit of a problem for me but I have Rhus Tox 200.
Also, am I allowed to take Sepia and Rhus tox together?

sugar_21 9 years ago
You can first try with RHUS TOX 200C and take it once daily for a week maximum. You should stop after a week in any case.
If you get a good response within one week or ten days, you know you got the right remedy and potency. Else try with a single dose of 1M once every week for a month or till you feel some change in your symptoms.
Its better not to take Rhus Tox when you are on Sepia.
I suggested 1M potency of Rhus Tox because it is a long standing problem which involves structural changes in the physical level in the affected part, thus requires a deeper stimulus.

Hi Rishi,
I have received both Sepia 1M and Rhus Tox 1M now. How shall I proceed now?
I was taking Sepia 200 earlier almost regularly because my symptoms (acne, nausea) kept reappearing but I have stopped since a couple of days. Nausea is a lot better. I don't crave cold drinks either, but the acne is there before periods. In fact, I ended up getting painful little pimples all over my face this time (forehead, cheeks especially).
Also, there is another problem that I wanted to mention. I'm feeling a lot more anxious, insecure and irritated these days. I had mentioned my parents extreme parenting style earlier. The thing is someone is visiting and my parents are always busy with this person. Even if I have to ask a simple question I have to do something outrageous for their attention because otherwise its hardly obtainable. Could you please suggest me something to calm myself down a little or perhaps detach myself a bit more?
Thank you so much for all your help again. I really appreciate your prompt responses.

Looking at your present condition, I would suggest you to start SEPIA 1M one dose and note how many days does the potency hold.
You may have to repeat this dose once in a month or earlier if you went back to your original mental state.
While I am hopeful that your mental state will improve after one dose of SEPIA 1M, let me tell you that your insecurity, anxiousness and irritability is also a 'cause and effect' phenomenon. I hope you understand that.
Once you feel your mental state is fine, you can then start Rhus Tox as suggested earlier.
If you have any specific social or family issue to be discussed that has no bearing on homeopathy, you can write to me directly to my e-mail. May be I can share my experience with you that might help.

I'll start Sepia 1M from tomorrow. Just confirming, I take it once, 3 drops, early in the morning, empty stomach/ clean mouth, right?
Thank you and yes if you can share your email I'll write to you because while I'm sure that homeopathy helps but there are some problems that I feel will only go away once I'm able to change my thought pattern. And, how to change that is a real issue for me.

Hi Rishi,
Sepia 1M did help me quite a bit on the emotional end. I became less sensitive and I was able to mingle with my family with little bitterness.
There are some other physical symptoms though. One of which is the nausea...it got better with Sepia but I haven't repeated my dose and the nausea is returning .
Also the acne, this time and actually even the time I was taking Sepia 200. I ended up getting a lot of pimples every where...on my back, neck, forehead, cheeks. I usually don't get this much acne so I don't know why I'm getting this much now especially when my other symptoms improve with Sepia. It does get better after my period though but still it makes me insecure. Any idea why the acne is getting worse?
Lastly, thank you for providing me with your email. I felt better after the Sepia dose but the assurance that I can write to someone if I felt worse also helped me a lot. Thank you so much!
Let me know how I should proceed with the Sepia now.

Sugar21, Whenever your symptoms return, you should take another dose of SEPIA 1M one dose. This may be anytime between 2 to 4 weeks. You need to decide, based on your symptoms, when should you repeat the dose.
If all symptoms except acne have reduced, its a good sign. The cure is always inwards to outwards. In your case, acne will also reduce after a few months. You need to repeat SEPIA whenever you need.
If you want to know the laws of cure, you can google 'Hering's Laws of Cure' in Homeopathy. This will give you confidence that you are gradually getting cured and your acne will be the last thing to go.
Thanks for your appreciation.

Would it be too early to repeat the Sepia 1M dose now? Its only been 3 days since my last dose but nausea doesn't go away completely. It becomes manageable/ significantly less but it stays. How should I proceed?
sugar_21 9 years ago
A gap of 3 days is too less for 1M potency. Ideally, one should give a gap of 4 weeks for addressing chronic / long standing issues.
I would advise you to get some SEPIA 30C and try it once every 4 hours whenever you have nausea. If this potency still produces a response in you, your nausea will be much reduced with this low potency.

Hi Rishi,
So I only took Sepia 30 once or twice then I stopped. I pondered over what you said...I understand its a long standing issue so I don't mind waiting at all. There are some issues with the nausea and there is on and off leukorrehea as well but as long as you feel that I am doing the right thing by repeating the dose (Sepia 1M) only after 4 weeks then I'm good. I have had hormonal problem for almost a decade now, so I don't mind waiting even for as long as a year.
Next, I just wanted to quickly remind you of my TMJ (asymmetrical face) problem. You had recommended Rhus Tox 1M....when should I take that? I took Sepia 1M on the 14th of September, I think.
Also, one more thing. What is your opinion about iron, B 12 supplements etc. My doctor always tells me to take them regardless. I've never been too keen about them, but I take them sometimes twice or thrice in a week. I just wanted to know your opinion about supplements.
Thank you!

Well, supplements don't interact negatively with homeopathic remedies, so you can have them if your doctors have suggested.
If you want to start Rhus Tox 1M you can do it and take it once in a week for three weeks at a stretch. Don't take SEPIA during those times.
If you notice things are getting better or worse after the first or second dose, don't take the rest of the dose.
Don't worry about your hormonal issues...they will gradually get well with time now that you know your remedy. After the TMJ treatment, you can resume your hormonal imbalance treatment taking sepia once a month.

Hi Rishi,
Hope you're doing well.
I have been taking the Sepia dose as instructed and I am pretty satisfied with the results, but my skin issues are quite a problem. Sometimes the outbreaks on my skin clear up but these days I am getting a lot of small, white faced pimples accompanied with flaky skin. The area affected is my face, shoulders and neck (back and front). Also, I want to mention that my skin is darkening around my mouth area...please note that I had this problem before but I feel its getting worse now.
Could it perhaps be a good sign since you said the cure is always inward to outward. I just want to confirm. And can I do something to heal my skin faster...the dark areas around my mouth are really bothering me.

Since you had this problem earlier and they are surfacing again, it remains to be seen how long these symptoms remain and in what intensity.
Mostly, when a person is being treated holistically/constitutionally, old symptoms resurface and then get cured for good. Skin symptoms are the last few symptoms that resurface as the cure happens inside-out.
You should not apply prescription ointments or creams that may suppress these symptoms. If you can live with these for now, let them be. I think, if its a return of symptom due to the healing process, it will reduce and get cured.
Wait for 10 days and then come back here to share your notes.

Hi Rishi,
Acne is a little better, a little. Skin is very dry, flaky and rough to touch.
I also noticed that my leukorrhea has gotten worse (thin, liquid discharge with strong smell). Before, it use to be thick, white and sticky but now like I said, its thin and its transparent. I feel like I'm leaking all the time.
I took my Sepia 1M dose on Oct 17, should I repeat it on the coming 17th?

Sepia covers it well and it should be cured with a few more doses of Sepia.
But, to be sure of the remedy, please answer the following questions
-What time is it worst?
-Is it worse while sleeping, sitting, standing or walking?
-With reference to your periods, what are the days this problem is worse?
-Can you describe the exact odor of the discharge? Closest known smell?

About the discharge, worse during daytime.
About the discharge, worse while walking/ jogging/ running.
During my periods, the acne starts to decrease gradually day by day.
Odour..cheesy smell.

You can continue with SEPIA 1M one dose per month.
Meanwhile look up HEPAR SULPH and see how much are you close to it in terms of modalities and mentals.
