Severe continuous hair fall, thinning hair. Which remedy; nat mur,sepia,lycopodium
I am a 33 year old female suffering from hair loss since a few years, I have tied taking vitamins , changing shampoos, serums etc, garlic onion juice application on scalp, nothing helps. My scalp is more n more visible, now my roots are finer than my ends, my roots have a white plug, I have very greasy scalp n dry hair.I’ve had a moderate hair fall problem since 5 yrs(2010) or so, my first child is 7 yrs old(2008 born), then I had a miscarriage 4-5 yrs later. I conceived 4 months after the miscarriage, but in my 3rd pregnancy I got the worst kind of hair fall ever and I’ve 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 don’t know what they are. Premature greying of hair. I was put on a lot of duphaston(progesterone). My son is now 1year and 7months old and the hair fall is the same rate, he is nursing at night n morning.
Please help I’m loosing hair endlessly, at this rate I won’t have much left. Sometimes I have a very sore tender scalp sometimes 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. Very Oily 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 can’t bear the itchiness and grease. I think I have greasy dandruff sometimes. I have stopped oiling bcoz of hair loss.
Another problem over a long time is I can’t 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 3-5am. 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 I’m always peeling skin of my lip, cuticles, heels, until very painful. I’m also susceptible to a sore throat very easily, I never even have cold water even when the temperature is 48 degrees celcius.
Other problems:
Prone to acne/pimples on cheeks n chin; had anti-biotics for acne for 3 months, 2 months ago, its better now. But the marks r still there, I scar very easily my skin doesn’t heal I have marks 9 months old. Even if I get a small white head I get a dark spot which stays for months.
Very sensitive teeth
Varicose veins after the last pregnancy
Right arm pains from elbow to wrist, with over use and long use of phone/mobile, sometimes gets very painful cant sleep at nite.
Frequent headaches during especially hot weather, these days I have it many days.
Leucorrhea with lower abdomen pain – since last 8 months, since my periods have started in nov 2014, decreases by taking homeopathic medicine leucorin 3-4 days every month during the abdominal pains
Hypothyroidism developed since oct 2014, but hair loss is there from before no change even after taking medication ; 50mg levothyroxine sodium.
I took biotin 5000mcg per day for 3months, my hair growth rate increasd but my eyebrows have grown bushy n upper lip hair has bcome thicker n longer too,n more facial hair so I left it.
My hair fall amount had decreased a little for a 2 months, but I don’t know the reason, I had a session of wet cupping prior to this period.
I once had a 2 doses of natrum muriaticum 200 a week apart, I think it helped a little.
I once had a dose of sepia 200, I’m not sure but it helped me to feel more vitalized n helped my libido which is very low.
I read up on nat mur, sepia and lycopodium ; I feel I have sympotoms of all 3.
For the past 2 months I have stopped all the things I was doing for my hair fall like; vitamins, biotin, onion garlic juice application, haven’t oiled at all, I feel my shedding has increased again.
So I was going to start on vitamins and onion-garlic juice applications again, will it affect the remedies u prescribe?
My main concern right now is arresting my rapid hair fall, its making me very hopeless and depressed with low self esteem. Even if new hairs grow they fall out before they can grow long. It’s like my hair is falling out as if a tap has been opened endlessly.

1. Describe your main suffering? State the correct location of pain or suffering.
suffering from continuous hair loss since a few years, I have tied taking vitamins/biotin , changing shampoos, serums etc., garlic onion juice application on scalp, nothing helps. My scalp is more n more visible, now my roots are finer than my ends, my roots have a white plug, I have very greasy scalp n dry hair. Continuous hair fall, thinning of hair, hair is becoming lesser and finer. my hair used to have a good growth speed, now its not even growing longer. Even if a few new hairs grow they fall out before even reaching half their length. I have very greasy fine powdery dandruff, only visible if I scratch my scalp it comes into my nails.
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?
Prone to acne/pimples on cheeks n chin; had anti-biotics for acne for 3 months, 2 months ago, its better now. But the marks r still there, I scar very easily my skin doesn’t heal I have marks 9 months old. Even if I get a small white head I get a dark spot which stays for months.
I have a little melasma on my cheeks , I had after my first baby, then it went away by itself, and I feel I have it again since my hair has started falling 3 months after my last delivery ie.march 2014
Very sensitive teeth
Varicose veins after the last pregnancy
skin tags/freckles/warts dunno what they are, have increased since last pregnancy
Right arm pains from elbow to wrist, with over use and long use of phone/mobile, sometimes gets very painful cant sleep at nite.
Frequent headaches during especially hot weather, these days I have it many days. Head feels heavy, sometimes I have sinus headaches or migraines which usually originates from left eye area.
Leucorrhea with lower abdomen pain – since last 8 months, since my periods have started in nov 2014, decreases by taking homeopathic medicine leucorin 3-4 days every month during the abdominal pains. I once used a vaginal tablet prescribed by my physician, which helped in reducing the discharge and pain, but it was back by the next month.
Hypothyroidism developed since oct 2014, but hair loss is there from before no change even after taking medication; 50mg levothyroxine sodium.
I had gestational diabetes in the last pregnancy, controlled with diet.
3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?
Very low self-esteem, don’t want to meet people. Feel like disappearing, I hate my skin with its brown marks from acne and my hair n everything, my prematurely ageing skin,with laughing lines and sagging hung look. I have some grey hair too. I feel like its punishment ,or role reverse, I used to look good before with clear fresh fair skin and now it’s my turn to look bad, only this time ‘the bad’ is much longer than the good, ie. For the rest of my life. I feel very irritated why my skin scars so easily, even a white head will leave a brown mark which lasts forever.
4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst? Describe the sensation in your own words.
I feel very de motivated, everyday chores seem like a burden, I feel like I’m the most incapable, incompetent person I know. I feel I cant/don’t make good use my time I procrastinate even if I have time. I start thinking about by forty-fifty, God Forbid I will be bald from the top of my head, I just feel like crying, but cant even cry. Then I look at the 60+ women around me who even now have so much more hair than me, soon ill be a laughing stock, and n all the people who don’t like me will be so pleased.
I feel over whelmed, that I can never change myself or my habits they just keep getting worse, hence I will never be able to fix my health, my routine or my problems. And my family is suffering with me bcoz of my bad routine and inconsistency with things.
Sometimes I get a spur where I start things like now, so I wrote to u, I’ve been meaning to write to this forum since months but couldn’t get myself to. I started my garlic-onion application again, and collagen tablets, I will continue for 2-3 weeks but if i don’t see any positive change in hair fall I will just go more into depression.
5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease? What was happening in your life just before these symptoms were noticed?
My hair started falling before my 2nd pregnancy 2011 sometime, but it wasn’t as severe as this, Initially I developed lot of acne on my cheeks n chin all of a sudden, I took antibiotics for a few months, which helped. I thought it was caused by cooking fried food and then going out in the heat and perspiring, but I’m not sure.
Few months before my hair started falling I had put a temporary hair dye from loreal just once. I don’t remember the sequence if the acne was first or hair dye or antibiotics. I saw a few dermatologist, they gave me scalp lotions/serums and shampoos to use and multi vitamins to eat. Nothing helped my hair fall.
Then I was expecting in july 2012, and my hair stopped falling completely as it does for most people in pregnancies, no hair fall at all. i then had a miscarriage in dec 2012, at 20 weeks, though by size the baby was only13weeks (I had travelled).
After this incident my libido increased surprisingly since after my 1st delivery which was a painful c-section(in jan 2008), in May 2013 I got the unexpected news that I was expecting again.
Bcoz of my history of miscarriage I was prescribed duphaston tablets and aspirin. in july 2013 my hair started shedding like crazy, it was endless shedding like never before, I thought it was bcoz of the duphaston, which similar to a pregnancy hormone, but the doctors said its not so, 3 months into the pregnancy I discontinued the duphaston, but my hair was still shedding, I then went back onto a higher dose of duphaston on and off, bcoz I got stomach cramps.6- 7 months into the pregnancy my hair stopped falling.
It started shedding again 2.5 months after I delivered, ie. March 2014, I’ve been fighting this since then, I didn’t get my periods till november 2014 as I’m nursing my baby.
Then I got lots of acne for the 2nd time in my life as my periods started, before my periods started I had taken some homeopathic medication given in Dr.batras clinic for my hair fall, which didn’t help at all, but I feel it gave me severe pain in my lower abdomen (not periods cramping, leucorrhea pain) for a month and then my periods started and my acne too, I stopped taking his prescribed remedies after 2-3months as it was not helping at all.(I don’t know the name of the medication) I then had to take antibiotics for 3 months to stop my acne. And now I have a spots of hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and jawline, I have started getting a few pimples here and there sometimes, might have to start on antibiotics again.
6. What time of the day do you suffer the most? What time of the day /night do you feel most energetic and happy?
Feel very down, lazy heavy headed in the morning(especially during summer), feel best at night time after 8-9pm. End up sleeping at 3am.
7. What are the things that aggravate your suffering and those that ameliorate the same? Example: time, hot or cold application, pressure, rubbing, washing, eating, tight clothing, sweating, walking, climbing, stool etc.
Hair falls much more during washing/rubbing, oiling, or if left unwashed more than 2-3 days coz it gets super greasy in the roots. Roots r too weak, as if unplugged. Don’t think anything changes the hair fall, but I feel much better in cooler pleasant climates; winter months, I really don’t feel good during hot weather, my hands and feet sometimes swell n feel hot, I hate that. My headaches increase during hot weather. After walking I feel fresher but I don’t usually walk, only in malls during weekend shopping etc.
8. Do you think your sufferings have direct relation to any particular external factor or are it something to do with your own biological changes?
I don’t know, probably my own biological changes.
9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?
I like cold weather and even dry weather, I feel fresher and lighter. I don’t like humid and hot weather makes my skin oily(but cheeks r still dry). In cold weather skin get very dry, so I love to moisturize liberally it improves my skin a lot, but only if I don’t get pimples.
10. Describe your general mental set up? Please pick out the adjectives which best describe your personality; (at least 10)

Just before this months period I got a session of wet-cupping done for leucorrhea with abdominal pain, they did it near the uterus region.

I am desperate for my hair, so I’ve started the garlic onion juice application again, and started taking collagen tablets, and I want to start on biotin 5000mcg, and prenatal vitamins, but I’m apprehensive bcoz of acne re occurring with biotin, coz I read about it, it didn’t happen last time but this time I’m getting a pimple here and there sometimes, last year I had clear skin when I took biotin. Mayb I will start the anti biotics first for prevention?

1. Describe your main suffering? State the correct location of pain or suffering.
suffering from continuous hair loss since a few years, I have tied taking vitamins/biotin , changing shampoos, serums etc., garlic onion juice application on scalp, nothing helps. My scalp is more n more visible, now my roots are finer than my ends, my roots have a white plug, I have very greasy scalp n dry hair. Continuous hair fall, thinning of hair, hair is becoming lesser and finer. my hair used to have a good growth speed, now its not even growing longer. Even if a few new hairs grow they fall out before even reaching half their length. I have very greasy fine powdery dandruff, only visible if I scratch my scalp it comes into my nails.
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?
Prone to acne/pimples on cheeks n chin; had anti-biotics for acne for 3 months, 2 months ago, its better now. But the marks r still there, I scar very easily my skin doesn’t heal I have marks 9 months old. Even if I get a small white head I get a dark spot which stays for months.
I have a little melasma on my cheeks , I had after my first baby, then it went away by itself, and I feel I have it again since my hair has started falling 3 months after my last delivery ie.march 2014
Very sensitive teeth
Varicose veins after the last pregnancy
skin tags/freckles/warts dunno what they are, have increased since last pregnancy
Right arm pains from elbow to wrist, with over use and long use of phone/mobile, sometimes gets very painful cant sleep at nite.
Frequent headaches during especially hot weather, these days I have it many days. Head feels heavy, sometimes I have sinus headaches or migraines which usually originates from left eye area.
Leucorrhea with lower abdomen pain – since last 8 months, since my periods have started in nov 2014, decreases by taking homeopathic medicine leucorin 3-4 days every month during the abdominal pains. I once used a vaginal tablet prescribed by my physician, which helped in reducing the discharge and pain, but it was back by the next month.
Hypothyroidism developed since oct 2014, but hair loss is there from before no change even after taking medication; 50mg levothyroxine sodium.
I had gestational diabetes in the last pregnancy, controlled with diet.
3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?
Very low self-esteem, don’t want to meet people. Feel like disappearing, I hate my skin with its brown marks from acne and my hair n everything, my prematurely ageing skin,with laughing lines and sagging hung look. I have some grey hair too. I feel like its punishment ,or role reverse, I used to look good before with clear fresh fair skin and now it’s my turn to look bad, only this time ‘the bad’ is much longer than the good, ie. For the rest of my life. I feel very irritated why my skin scars so easily, even a white head will leave a brown mark which lasts forever.
4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst? Describe the sensation in your own words.
I feel very de motivated, everyday chores seem like a burden, I feel like I’m the most incapable, incompetent person I know. I feel I cant/don’t make good use my time I procrastinate even if I have time. I start thinking about by forty-fifty, God Forbid I will be bald from the top of my head, I just feel like crying, but cant even cry. Then I look at the 60+ women around me who even now have so much more hair than me, soon ill be a laughing stock, and n all the people who don’t like me will be so pleased.
I feel over whelmed, that I can never change myself or my habits they just keep getting worse, hence I will never be able to fix my health, my routine or my problems. And my family is suffering with me bcoz of my bad routine and inconsistency with things.
Sometimes I get a spur where I start things like now, so I wrote to u, I’ve been meaning to write to this forum since months but couldn’t get myself to. I started my garlic-onion application again, and collagen tablets, I will continue for 2-3 weeks but if i don’t see any positive change in hair fall I will just go more into depression.
5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease? What was happening in your life just before these symptoms were noticed?
My hair started falling before my 2nd pregnancy 2011 sometime, but it wasn’t as severe as this, Initially I developed lot of acne on my cheeks n chin all of a sudden, I took antibiotics for a few months, which helped. I thought it was caused by cooking fried food and then going out in the heat and perspiring, but I’m not sure.
Few months before my hair started falling I had put a temporary hair dye from loreal just once. I don’t remember the sequence if the acne was first or hair dye or antibiotics. I saw a few dermatologist, they gave me scalp lotions/serums and shampoos to use and multi vitamins to eat. Nothing helped my hair fall.
Then I was expecting in july 2012, and my hair stopped falling completely as it does for most people in pregnancies, no hair fall at all. i then had a miscarriage in dec 2012, at 20 weeks, though by size the baby was only13weeks (I had travelled).
After this incident my libido increased surprisingly since after my 1st delivery which was a painful c-section(in jan 2008), in May 2013 I got the unexpected news that I was expecting again.
Bcoz of my history of miscarriage I was prescribed duphaston tablets and aspirin. in july 2013 my hair started shedding like crazy, it was endless shedding like never before, I thought it was bcoz of the duphaston, which similar to a pregnancy hormone, but the doctors said its not so, 3 months into the pregnancy I discontinued the duphaston, but my hair was still shedding, I then went back onto a higher dose of duphaston on and off, bcoz I got stomach cramps.6- 7 months into the pregnancy my hair stopped falling.
It started shedding again 2.5 months after I delivered, ie. March 2014, I’ve been fighting this since then, I didn’t get my periods till november 2014 as I’m nursing my baby.
Then I got lots of acne for the 2nd time in my life as my periods started, before my periods started I had taken some homeopathic medication given in Dr.batras clinic for my hair fall, which didn’t help at all, but I feel it gave me severe pain in my lower abdomen (not periods cramping, leucorrhea pain) for a month and then my periods started and my acne too, I stopped taking his prescribed remedies after 2-3months as it was not helping at all.(I don’t know the name of the medication) I then had to take antibiotics for 3 months to stop my acne. And now I have a spots of hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and jawline, I have started getting a few pimples here and there sometimes, might have to start on antibiotics again.
6. What time of the day do you suffer the most? What time of the day /night do you feel most energetic and happy?
Feel very down, lazy heavy headed in the morning(especially during summer), feel best at night time after 8-9pm. End up sleeping at 3am.
7. What are the things that aggravate your suffering and those that ameliorate the same? Example: time, hot or cold application, pressure, rubbing, washing, eating, tight clothing, sweating, walking, climbing, stool etc.
Hair falls much more during washing/rubbing, oiling, or if left unwashed more than 2-3 days coz it gets super greasy in the roots. Roots r too weak, as if unplugged. Don’t think anything changes the hair fall, but I feel much better in cooler pleasant climates; winter months, I really don’t feel good during hot weather, my hands and feet sometimes swell n feel hot, I hate that. My headaches increase during hot weather. After walking I feel fresher but I don’t usually walk, only in malls during weekend shopping etc.
8. Do you think your sufferings have direct relation to any particular external factor or are it something to do with your own biological changes?
I don’t know, probably my own biological changes.
9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?
I like cold weather and even dry weather, I feel fresher and lighter. I don’t like humid and hot weather makes my skin oily(but cheeks r still dry). In cold weather skin get very dry, so I love to moisturize liberally it improves my skin a lot, but only if I don’t get pimples.

Just before this months period I got a session of wet-cupping done for leucorrhea with abdominal pain, they did it near the uterus region.

I am desperate for my hair, so I’ve started the garlic onion juice application again, and started taking collagen tablets, and I want to start on biotin 5000mcg, and prenatal vitamins, but I’m apprehensive bcoz of acne re occurring with biotin, coz I read about it, it didn’t happen last time but this time I’m getting a pimple here and there sometimes, last year I had clear skin when I took biotin. Mayb I will start the anti biotics first for prevention?

Please take LACHESIS 200C one dose in the morning on a single day.
Take the dose first thing in the morning in empty stomach. One dose is 3 to 4 drops of remedy in 10 ml of water slowly sipped up to wet the mouth fully.Don't rush or gulp it down. Don't take anything for the next one hour at least.
It is best to take it on a weekend so that you don't have to get going early in the morning. Just go back to sleep after taking the dose.
Let me know changes you see after 15 days.

SEPIA would help you in the symptoms you have mentioned but won't bring overall relief.
Since you don't have Lachesis now, you take take SEPIA 200C two doses on a single day and then wait for 10 days before you tell me your response. Based on your response, you may have to repeat it a few times once a week.

You should keep a considerable gap between SEPIA and LACHESIS. They are similar in action so can antidote each other.
Take SEPIA 200C before taking your thyroid medicine and then after 2 hours you can take your medicine. Second dose of SEPIA to be taken in the evening in empty stomach.
One dose would be 3 drops in some 5 ml of water slowly sipped up and kept in mouth for sometime. Don't swallow immediately. Mouth should be clean and stomach should be empty.
No food or water one hour before and after.
Don't take Lachesis unless I tell you. It must be taken after 2 months at least.
