Case Studies
Rash Case:
“I keep exploding with this rash. I cannot handle it.”
April 30th 2022
Adult woman came to me for relief from a rash that started 3 yrs ago. She described it as red and angry, patchy, scaly, flakey, and intrusive. Very itchy and when she scratches it to try to relive the itching it stings. If she rubs fabric on the stinging alleviates. Itching is worse at night, she would wake up to herself scratching it. She wants to cover it up as she gets comments such as “it looks bad,” but it’s worse from warmth and she still knows it’s there all the time. This impedes her daily routines.
She also expresses difficulty with impatience, has serious digestive issues and has been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. “I am a snap dragon. My kids will tell you that too.” In the area of digestion, she suffers from stomach cramping, bloating, constipation and diarrhea which limits her from eating a variety of foods especially vegetables.
To choose the remedy, I based the selection upon the very clear miasmatic tendency, and two particular rubrics about the rash. Rubrics as follows:
Skin, eruptions, skin: warmth, of bed
Skin, itching, scratching agg.
First remedy:
Thuja 30c
once a week for three weeks
May 18th 2022
Email update: “I think the Thuja is already helping for the rash! First the itching decreased and now I'm seeing less red. It's such a relief!”
May 30th 2022
Follow-up appointment:
“I’m like a new person.”
“I’ve never seen something work that fast on skin.” (This client is a nurse by profession.)
“I can eat vegetables right now, they are not bothering me.”
