Vera you find aromatherapy shameful? Why is that. Essential oils are very useful for many things. Kathy

she has used lavender oil for bites - something from my history as before treating her as a homeopath, in a previous (and thoroughly shameful, I admit) life I was an aromatherapist (and other things too foul to mention...!). Lavender essential oil is very useful for external treatment of cuts, burns, bites etc. and I used to prescribe it often. The idea that the patch, use of oil and worsening of redness and itch may be playing out a reversal of lavender oil suppression is interesting.
I feel that we often track clues to reach understanding of what is actually happening - but will we ever know?!
thanks for input,
Vera
I think what you did is right, leave the patch alone- blood in urine is much more important symptom and your Phos is handling that- the itch should pass by itself if the patient is good as a whole.
I have not given Apis after Phos -so cannot comment on it- but may be at this point it is not indicated... When the previous medicine is still acting and if the amelioration is still seen, do not change the medicine if the new symptoms that have come up are not very important...But in the past I have followed a prescription with other inimical medicines when they were indicated - I have not had problems with that...but do not give a follow-up remedy if not clearly indicated...
Once I gave Staph for a case of schizophrenia with excellent results... the patient came back after a few weeks just to say he is fine when I was not there- my partner gave him Causticum as a complement and this brought back the symptoms, which once again abated with Staph-
Just ask her if she had applied something like this Lavender oil for past mosquito bites or some such thing- there might be a history of external applications...
I have seen cases like this - where people have applied some oil ( turmeric in sesame oil is a common finding in India) for insect bites - and even that suppresses in some people and the condition reappears...
