The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Correct dosage advice needed
I have purchased Natrum Mur the 1M strength as I have really huge cyst like boils on my face around the chin and jaw area and they are painful. Previously I have tried Silica 30c and I'm currently using Sulphur 30c which isn't working. Please can anyone advise how many pills and how often I need to take them for, for my condition. I also have a more or less permanent swollen stomach. Many thanks Greekbabe xGreekbabe on 2014-11-25

Hi-have you seen the dermatologist?
Are these really boils or are they cysts?

Key difference:
A cyst and a boil are two common skin conditions that occur among people. A cyst is a closed capsule or sac-like structure. It is typically filled with liquid, semisolid or gaseous material. A boil, on the other hand, is an infection of the hair follicle. A boil is a deep folliculitis and is also called a furuncle.
There are hundreds of types of cysts. They may appear just below the skin or inside the body connected to tissue or an organ. They vary in size from microscopic to the size of some team-sport balls. Large cysts can even displace internal organs. Skin cysts usually appear as an abnormal lump just below the skin and may or may not be painful. A cyst in the breasts may be noticeable when the breasts are examined by touching them and are often painful. Some cysts may not be noticeable or visible except under imaging systems. Cysts in the brain can cause headaches, as well as other symptoms.
A boil is a deep folliculitis, an infection of the hair follicle. It is caused by an infection of the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Boils result in a painful swollen area on the skin caused by an accumulation of pus and dead tissue. Boils may cluster together, joining to form one head. These boils are called carbuncles. If a boil forms on the eyelid, it is called a sty. Boils should not be popped, as it may lead to spreading of the infection, including a blood infection. Boils usually pop by themselves

---------You don't want to take Nat Nur 1 M- you don't know if that remedy is right
unless your case has been taken, and you don't know if the potency is right.
It is safer to start out Low potency and do one or two test doses to see what goes on.
You could try cell salts first, as they balance out the cells themselves and are low potency.
The general salts for boils- are
Cal Sulph 6x
CalPhos 6x
Kali mur 6x,
Ferrum Phos 6x
Mag phos 6x
Silica 6x
You could combine these- 2 of each, and take all under the tongue 3 x a day for
a few days to see what goes on.
Or have someone take your complete case.

I concur. Do NOT take 1M when self-prescribing. 1M is an extremely powerful and deep acting potency, and if misused could create side effects that last years or even be permanent.
Always stick to low potencies if you must self-prescribe. 6c, 12c, 30c at the most. I would actually avoid 30c too if you do not know the rules for dosage quite well, as this potency can go surprisingly deeply as well. Also avoid using the LM potencies.
Homoeopathy works very poorly if you are trying to aim remedies at a single problem. The whole case needs to be treated, and the underlying cause of the skin condition cured.
