Hello Asha,

You mention far too few details !

I think you simply need to take a full case history again taking into account all mind symptoms, modalities worse/better, food and drink cravings/desires or aversions etc.

If you say she can`t stand tight clothing (Lachesis) or she has hot flushes followed by chilliness (Sulphur) etc. it`s not enough to prescribe on !

Women suffering from hot flushes as their chief complaint also should avoid/minimize hot, spicy or hot-temperature foods and should wear loose clothing and layers that they can comfortably remove and add back on. A diet high in soy and flax is recommended. If your patient doesn`t have high blood pressure she should also take vitamin E, 800 milligrams a day and avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. Also tell her to drink lots of water !

A few keynotes are :

If her joints ache and she`s sighing all the time consider/study Cimicifuga.

If she`s on the verge of exploding and has a sense of constriction round the neck and is talkative with all symptoms worse on waking consider/study Lachesis.

If her hot flashes/flushes are worse in bed (wanting to stick her feet out from under the covers) or after a hot bath and she`s itchier than usual consider/study Sulphur.

If she`s had a history of hormonal problems with moodiness, cries easily and hates getting too hot consider/study Pulsatilla.

If her sexual energy is diminished and she is constipated and grouchy, has hot sweats, backache (esp. in the sacral area) with sinking or dragging sensations consider/study Sepia.

If she has dry mucous membranes, esp. along with pain in the right shoulder consider/study Sanguinaria,

Hot flushes and melancholia.......Aurum met.

Throbbing in the head........Glonoin(e).

Flushing esp. in the face sometimes with nosebleeds and a tendency to put weight on......Graphites.

Loss of appetite, regurgitations and backache......Kali carb.

Flushes worse in the evening and after exertion with general weariness......Sulphuric acid.

If she gets the correct remedy she should feel better within a week.

Don`t prescribe Lachesis (e.g. 30c or 30k) more than twice daily for a week or less frequently for longer than a month to prevent a proving !
