Wipes Out Allergy in One Go (Food Allergy - 2015)
What's the standard advice a doctor or dietician gives to a patient to be healthy? Have more vegetables. And what if you are allergic to certain veggies? Then things are pretty precarious. This 45-year-old woman was in that situation. She complained of being allergic to certain leafy vegetables such as cabbage and cauliflower for the past six months. Before that, these vegetables were part of her regular diet. Of late, she discovered that whenever she ate these leafy vegetables she developed intense itching sensation in different parts of her body. These areas would become red with scratching. She had a history of skin disease during her childhood.
She complained of severe headache during menses, which got better with cold application. She also suffered from flatulence whenever she ate spicy and sour dishes like sambar.
Appetite - normal, with desire for lukewarm food and drinks.
Desires - Sweets, Tea, Meat, Chicken, Fish, Ghee, Shellfish (Crab), Prawns, Coffee
Aversion - Pickles, Acidic food. Bowels - Regular.
Sleep - Normal. Thermal reaction - Hot.
Treatment
I gave a dose of Lycopodium, her constitutional medicine, for correcting allergy. Both her allergy and headache were cured by just two doses of Lyco 30.
Date Medicine
29.05.2015 Lycopodium 30/2 doses
01.07.2015 Saccharum lactose
17.10.2015 Saccharum lactose
Discussion
The patient came to me with a notion that Homoeopathy was a slow acting system. She was surprised when she got such rapid relief. She expected that her allergic tendency and headache would recur. So she continued treatment for 4 - 5 months. I too was waiting for a recurrence of her complaints to repeat Lyco in higher potencies. But no, I didn't get a chance. She was on placebo throughout, after the initial two doses of Lycopodium, given at a gap of a week. Whenever I get success - so easily or with great efforts - I remember our master Dr. Hahnemann with gratitude.
