Chicken Pox

Experienced gurukula teachers prescribed the homeopathic medicines noted below. It helped my youngest for a speedy recovery and a lot less severe case of chicken pox, but since not all constitutions are the same, it may be wise to check with a homeopathic specialist before using.

STEP ONE
Give every two hours during the beginning and the fever stage of the disease the following:
Four tablets of Kali Muriaticum *(6X), alternating with
Four tablets of Ferrum Phosporicum (6X).
*indicates strength of formula

STEP TWO
When the fever abates, continue giving:
Four tablets of Kali Muriaticum,
but this time alternate every two hrs with:
Four tablets of Kali Phosphoricum (6X) (instead of the Ferrum Phosporicum in Step One).

CAUTION
Do not allow tablets to make human contact, such as touching your hands while administering. Shake them onto a spoon and pop them into the patient's mouth.

MORE HELP:
1. The patient should not eat hing. Hing counteracts the medicine.

2. Do not eat spicy foods. Choose cooling foods when there is an appetite

3. Plenty of fluids and rest is important during the fever stage. Offer coconut water to drink or other cooling drinks.

4. Do not bathe until the blisters have turned into scabs. It is recommended to first bathe with coconut water, then regular baths may be resumed.

5. To relieve itching, dab on generous amounts of calydryl lotion.

6. Do not allow the patient to pick scabs! It can cause scarring. Cover a child's hands with mittens or socks, especially at night and during the day if necessary to prevent scratching and picking.


It takes about seven days for the disease to run its course.
