Hi,

A homeopath, not one who practices in my hometown, prescribed Kali Carbonica for me in LM 4. It seemed to help, but since I've been taking it, I've had numbness in my left hand, particularly my fingers. The homeopath tried to antidote it with Dulcamara 200c and also suggested I drink some coffee, but neither has worked. What can I do to antidote this?

Thanks,

David

Try camphor.

GAMBOGIA & Nitri spiritus dulclis are also known to antidote Kali.C.

If U feel Kali carb has aggravated and U need to antidote you can follow as below.
Antidoting has two methods.
1 ,Antidoting by well known Antidote- As per Gibson Millers table of anti dotes -Camphor and Coffea are antidotes .These remedies will only when their symptoms exists .other wise they will not antidote.
2 Safe method is to antidote with Same drug in lowerpotency if same symptoms persists.YOU can take Same Kalicarb in LM 1 or LM2.Over action of LM4 will reduce.

I hope this helps

I have tried it with Centisimal scale(as per series & degrees of Kent), but does the same work with LM potency?

Hi Yes its my understanding that that is the case with LMs.

You mean we can antidote with a lower potency even in LM or not?

Hi Dr. Kannan

If the chosen remedy is correct?- we need to assume that the potency is too strong and therefore may be adjusted by using less succussions and or more water and or a lower LM potency ( this patient started with an LM3). This in effect antidotes the last dose with a "more homoeopathic"
potency. LMs were found safe by Hahnemann to be give daily with aggravation if any appearing towards the end of treatment. So really only one of two things could be wrong at this point ; the remedy is too high or it is a wrong selection. More likely the latter - in which case we would need to find a MORE homoeopathic remedy which is the best antidote.

cont-

Since the numbness of the fingertips is a feature of Kali. c particularly in the morning perhaps potency is the factor. Iwonder if there is any improvment in this person? They didnt speak of any.
