My opinion:

Beginners in homoeopathy should never treat conditions (be they acute or
chronic) where an aggravation could cause severe problems: such as
asthmatic conditions, bleeding disorders and others.
When dealing with an acute situation they should only try to treat if a
remedy they had already learnt clearly comes to mind - or if there's
just the need to differentiate between 2 remedies.

Acute situations with a clear causation are often easier to prescribe
upon:
some sorts of trauma, burns, or acute situations following a causation
like: having get wet and cold, or after a visit to the seaside, or from
drinking large quantities of cold water after being heated, or from
sun-stroke ...etc.

Beginners should know their tools well before trying to use them. And
the clear cut rubrics as causations will make it easier.

Without a cleas causation there will be more need to identify the REAL
characteristic symptoms which even in an acute case are not always lying
clear before the eyes.

Best,

Gaby

<< I would never encourage beginners to treat such conditions - how many
haemorrhagic remedies are there, how many for gastroenteritis? What happened
to individualisation? Not quite the answer I was looking for.

14.7.4.
These are amongst the easiest actually and quite frequent. I personally see
no problem in starting as such.
Epistaxis in children is common in all the ones with Ph parts in them
(constitutional) and there are plenty of them, really. Extremely frequent. Just ask
around, you will be astonished. The second one also.
I do understand what you mean, of course, but you are thinking to
complicated, too far away, to theoretical.
You know, when you meet a young women on the street with a swollen belly you
should not think in the first place she might have a tumor, but that she may
be pregnant. THIS would be normal, practical oriented, thinking.
In medicine, one NEVER starts with the most exotic and seldom even if
exciting suspicion of diagnosis but with the most frequent and usual one. This is a
very important law of practice, believe me, I really know what I am talking
about. All right?
The good medicine student, always goes himself through all the diseases while
studying. This is the sign for a good and serious student.
But practicing is a different thing. The main law in practice is the one
above.
So if a child has epistaxis it is NOT mandatory that he has leukaemia or
whatever. This would actually be the most improbable choice in that moment.
Besides, leukaemia starts in many other different ways.
