severe hair loss/shedding endlessly after baby
Im a 31yr old female. I have post-partum severe hair fall like shedding non-stop, the only other time I had this kind of hair fall was during this pregnancy; for first 6 months, so Ive already lost considerable hair already. My baby is now 5 months old, and my hair started falling when he was 2.5months. Im also nursing my child so Im not getting my periods.Ive always had a hair fall problem since 6 yrs or so, my first child is 6 yrs old, then I had a miscarriage 4-5 yrs later. I conceived 4 months after the miscarriage, and in my 3rd pregnancy I got the worst kind of hair fall ever and Ive got the same endless shedding again.
In this pregnancy (my 3rd) I got many problems; excessive hair fall, gestational diabetes, painful varicose veins lots of freckle/skin tags/warts I dont know what they are. Premature greying of hair.
Please help Im loosing hair endlessly, at this rate I wont have much left. I can see my scalp in places. I had a very tender scalp then now I have a very itchy scalp. Over the years my scalp has become greasier and greasier. Earlier I only had to wash my hair once a week, then twice then thrice etc. my scalp is very itchy with grease and sometimes sore. Oily itchy scalp with dry brittle, fine limp hair. My hairline has resided, I loose tremendous amounts of hair when I wash it or oil it, but I have to wash it altleast every 2 days coz I cant bear the itchiness and grease. I think I have greasy dandruff sometimes.
Another problem over a long time is I cant get rid of my nocturnal behavior even after trying, I just like the night and feel fresher and my mind is more active then. I end up sleeping earliest at 12-1am. I have very low will power. I feel I look older than my age bcoz of skin and hair loss. I have a dull tired sunken in look bcoz I easily loose weight from my face. I feel it is sagging and have deep laugh lines thinning lips. I feel 45-50 yr olds look fresher and have plumper and smoother skin than me. And I have this skin peeling problem Im always peeling skin of my lip, cuticles, heels, until very painful. Im also susceptible to a sore throat very easily, I never even have cold water even when the temperature is 48 degrees celcius.
My main concern right now is arresting my rapid hair fall, its making me very hopeless and depressed with low self esteem. Its like my hair is falling out as if a tap has been opened endlessly.

varicose veins r in behinds my thighs n knee, and on my ankle, mostly on my right leg. they were swollen and protruding during pregnancy, now they just dark veins showing through skin. they get uncomfortable n painful if i walk a lot or stand for long.
i don't have acne right now, i never have while nursing the baby.
pilesbleed when i'm constipated, doesn't itch, i can feel a small protruding flesh in the anus.
my main concern is my immense hair loss, i hope there is something which can arrest that first..?

Your remedy is: Sulfur 200c.
HOW TO TAKE THE REMEDY:
Please take two doses 12 hrs apart. Just two doses. Not daily.
Report back in 7 days with changes observed.
TIME OF DOSE:
First dose: At night before sleeping.
Second dose: 12 hrs after the first dose.
Dont take any more dose or any other remedy unless I tell you.
PILLS/PELLETS:
If your remedy is in the form of pills:
One dose is one pill.
Dissolve the pill in mouth.
LIQUID REMEDY:
If your remedy is in liquid form:
Put one drop of the remedy in half glass of water, stir and take one tea spoon from it.
Thats one dose.
Use the same mixture for subsequent doses, if required.
Dont refrigerate the mixture. Put it anywhere covered, away from direct sunlight.
PRECAUTIONS:
If there is significant worsening of symptoms (called homeopathic aggravation) after the first dose, then dont take the second dose.
Dont take any other homeopathic remedy during this treatment.
Give a break of at least 10 minutes before eating/drinking anything before or after taking the remedy.
During the treatment, dont eat anything which you have never had all your life.
HOMEOPATHIC AGGRAVATION
Sometimes the symptoms for which treatment is being done can worsen after taking the homeopathic remedy. This is homeopathic aggravation and a good sign. It usually dies down within 24-48 hrs. During this time you can use any non-medicinal means to keep yourself comfortable. If the aggravation seems excessive, you can use any & all means necessary (including taking allopathic medicines) to keep yourself comfortable. Keep your homeopath fully updated if this happens.
HOW TO GIVE FEEDBACK:
A good example of how to report your progress is by giving %age improvement for all your health problems e.g.
Headache: 30% better
Low energy level: 50% better
Anxiety: 40% better
Sadness: No change
Depression: Worse
And so on list all your complaints.
GENERAL INFO ABOUT HOMEOPATHIC PRESCRIBING:
If someone is giving several remedies, without waiting to see the effect of one remedy, then it is totally against the core principles of homeopathy. Such an approach is unlikely to give permanent cure, rather it may distort actual symptoms making subsequent cure even more difficult.
DIETARY GUIDELINES:
Homeopathy is not magic and it can only work when all other supportive strategies are also used. To make sure you are cured as fast as possible and stay that way please change your lifestyle to include the following:
1. Start eating half cup of low fat, plain, non-flavored yogurt with live cultures daily in the morning or with lunch. If you have homemade yogurt thats the best.
2. Stop all processed foods e.g. white bread, white rice, white burgers etc.
3. Eat whole foods only i.e. whole grain bread, brown rice, brown burgers etc.
4. The bread should be high in bran content & the flour should be coarse ground.
5. Start eating a small bowl of salad at least once a day e.g. it should contain cucumber, carrots, salad leaves, tomato and any vegetable you like. Put a dressing of olive oil & raw apple cider vinegar and put some salt & black pepper to your liking.
6. Eat at least 1-2 fruits per day e.g. apple, orange etc.
7. Drink enough water so that your urine is clear. Yellow colored urine is a good indication that you are dehydrated.
8. Eat only when hungry and when eating, dont overstuff yourself.
9. Focus on food only when you eat i.e. dont divert your attention by watching tv etc.
10. Exercise:
Aerobic activity e.g. Start walking at least 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week with your spouse/friend and achieve your target heart rate.
Strength training e.g. Start weight training at least 20 minutes 3 days a week.
NOTE: Yogurt can cause increased mucus generation in some individuals, if you are like that, dont eat yogurt. Rather start eating roasted black chick peas (also known as Bengal Gram) daily.

Many chronic cases of Hair Loss have responded to my therapy copied below.
The loss of hair is usually arrested in 2 weeks and in 2 months the new growth of hair is seen between the existing hair roots. Inspection for the new hair must be done in a darkened room with a flashlight by someone who has good eyesight.
The remedies are as noted below:
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
Arnica Q or Mother Tincture to be mixed with water to be massaged in a 20% emulsion daily into the hair roots. the 20% emulsion is made using 20 parts Arncia Q mixed into 80 parts water. The emulsion must be shaken hard to emulsify with the l immediately before application daily into the roots of the hair daily after a shower.
Ferr Phos 6x 3 tablets taken twice daily.
Cod liver oil capsules dose 1-2 daily.
Exercise is essential to sweat it out.
Drink at least 3 liters of liquids preferably water daily.
No harsh shampoos.
The Wet dose is made up as follows:
Order the remedy in a 5ml Ethanol pack also known as Liquid Dilution.
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 it hard to produce bubbles.
This is homeopathic succussion and must be done every time before a capful of the bottle which is the dose is sipped as directed.

im still trying to get the new remedy, not available here. my hair loss is same as b4, greasy scalp, varicose veins, etc.
someone told me to apply garlic on scalp for hair loss , i tried it once or twice, nothing changed but i was wondering if that interfered with my treatment with sulphur which u had suggested b4. bcoz the smell of garlic was so strong that it stayed on my scalp for 3 weeks .
how about R89 ?
or lycopodium? as i also have premature greying of hair?
does brushing ones teeth also interfere with homeopathic remedies?
plz reply
