lining of the nose
and the ears become oedematous and make cystlike swellings
called polyps. With the formation of polyps in the nose, the patient
snores heavily. Calcarea Iodide 30 proves to be very useful in the treatment of
this condition. It should however be used for two to three months because the
glands, once enlarged, do not immediately regress to their normal size. In Calcarea Iodide, the ulcers tend to be
chronic in nature, much more so in Kali Iodide. In Kali Iodide, the ulcers
become indolent. In Calcarea Iodide,
there is a tendency for hair
to fall out.
Unfortunately, there is no one standard treatment for hair
loss.It must be remembered that Sulphur is not given after
Calcarea Iodide. This can be harmful.
However, Sulphur Iodide given after Calcarea Iodide works very well and there
is no need for giving any other remedy in the intervening period. The common
routine is to give Lycopodium after Calcarea Carb, then Sulphur, and then
Calcarea Carb again. However, Calcarea Iodide can be safely and directly
followed by Sulphur Iodide treatment. Although Calcarea Iodide makes the
patient feel somewhat better, it cannot cure the patient and that is why
Sulphur Iodide should be used instead.
