Dear Colleagues

I had a patient who had had eczema as a child (much worse after she saw her horse being killed in a road accident).

She had Homoeopathic treatment and this settled down and her skin was fine for many years.

She then gave birth after a long (36 hours) labour.
Birth was normal using gas and air.

Soon after the eczema returned.

What rubrics would you use?

Dear Soroush,

In the eczema case you quote, I would use two rubrics, viz:

eruptions, , emotions, after grief or suppressed Staph(single rdx)
Synthesis, p.1704 &
Mind, grief, indignation, with: care Coloc(+2), Staph
" p. 145

My guess is that the original witnessing of the cruelty to the horse was
triggered by the birth of the woman's child.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hugh

Hi Finrod,

Before jumping into rubrics, I wonder about the reappearance of the eczema. Both the fact that it reappeared (even tho treated with homeopathy) and the fact that it did so after childbirth suggest strongly that the original treatment suppressed it, rather than healing it. Normal childbirth almost always strengthens the Vital force and allows it to express symptoms that it could not show before. Here, it sounds as though some problem in a deeper layer was successfully returned to its original skin manifestation by the VF stimulus of giving birth.
Eczema has a large Psora component but can also have considerable Sycosis, depending upon the individual. For this woman, since you'd like to get rid of the eczema this time rather than just shoving it back under, avoid using lesional remedies and think about the constitutional, particularly if her constitutional remedy is strongly anti-Psoric. This is important not only for her, but for the baby (am I right that she is breastfeeding?), since a lesional approach will suppress the baby's psora, whereas the constitutional approach will exteriorize it.

Rubric will be : Skin, eruptions, eczema (Synthesis p. 1530), but only when combined with those from the complete case. The rubric is huge. You can cross it with "Female, Delivery, after" (Synthesis p. 910) to get what you want. However, the great size of the first rubric suggests that an abundance of remedy types can have eczema, and the correct Rx will depend on deeper factors.

Hope this helps,

Jenny Decker

Thank Jenny

No She is not breast feeding. The baby would not take her milk direct! She
was expressing it and feeding him and in the end gave up after 6 weeks!

I think the previous Homoeopath had struggled with this case.

I double checked her emotions during the birth - they were nothing
unexpected. Concern for the outcome (I would have been after 36 hours!! and
I am a man!!)

My repertorisation came out with Sulph.

She is on LM01 - one dose and is due to report.
I will keep the list posted.

Thanks once again.
