Minutus

Dear Jean, the Pulsatilla a day case was a mess - a mixture of text book
Pulsatilla sx (which she didn't have at the beginning of her self treating)
and a picture that was beginning to look like Calc sulph. My Rx for her was
nothing and she phones every few days to let me know what's happening. I am
unlikely to prescribe until the picture has stabilised or becomes too
uncomfortable for her.

Best, Joy

To return to this subject no one I am sure would say go off allopathic
drugs and take this. The client would be carefully monitored and
appropriate decisions made. Hopefully allopathy be slowly reduced and
homoeopathic needed at reducing intervals.
I too would like to hear of instances where real harm has been done.
Certainly Joy¹s experience of someone taking Pulsatilla every day would not
be advised by any trained practitioner. I am wondering what was the
presenting picture. Best Wishes Jean

Dear Group members,

My wife is into the eighth month of her pregnancy
(31st week) and the gynaec. has diagnosed her with
slightly excessive amniotic fluid thus cramping the
child and prolapse of the cord. I request anyone on
the group who might have experience with such a
situation to suggest remedies. Pulsatilla is said to
have the power to set right the position of a baby
that is showing breech presentation. Do you think
Pulsatilla would help in setting right the prolapse
too? I am more worried about the prolapse than about
the amniotic fluid, as it might force a premature
C-section. This is our first child and hence i am very
worried. I would be very grateful to anyone who can
help. Her constitutional is Lachesis.

With regards.

Rajiv.

Hi Rajiv,

I don't know of specific treatments, but my first thought would be to
approach this thru the overall picture. Is she having any symptoms, any
sort of discomfort or other changes? When did she last have a dose of lach,
what potency does she usually take, and did it work as expected?

In my limited experience, the needs of the baby can be reflected in the
mother's symptom picture; this is what I'd look at first.

Throughout the pregnancy, she had the complaint of a
slightly hard uterus. She also had bouts of belching
of gas, specially during the night.Worse after
midnight. Asafoetida normally relieved her of her
acute gastric troubles. But even when her stomach was
free of gas, her uterus would feel quite hard to
touch. She did very well on Lachesis, which she took
for around 4 months. The potencies were built
gradually from 200 to the 10M on the centesimal
scale. But after she became pregnant i stopped giving
the constitutional. Before homeopathic treatment
started, she used to suffer from a severe sinus
problem,all kinds of worms, strong aversion to
sunlight, chronic pimples of reddish colour on the
face which left a dark bluish or slightly blackish
trace marks upon bursting,strong desire for spicy food
but would have digestive troubles upon taking such
food, aversion to strangers and lack of confidence
specially among strangers or in public place.She had
the typical Lachesis strong jealousy and the shaking
tongue upon protruding it. Lachesis took away or
lessened the intensity of a number of these
symptoms.She also had a few doses of Baccillinum 200
in between as she had a number of symptoms of the
tubercular miasm and there is history of TB & cancer
in the family.

Right now she is quite amiable and her jealousy is
much less. Only trouble is the hard uterus and
occasional bouts of gastric, specially during night.

Rajiv
