Please advice on the above and let me know if anything has to be described further

Hi,

I have taken pulsatilla 200 as I do not have constipated bowel. I did not find any improvement. Could you please advice further.

Thanks for your advice.

I will have the medicine as suggested. Would you please tell me how much change could I expect, as with the current dose if the change is little then I may not be able to notice that.

Will it be necessary to continue further on a particular medicine if I observe any improvement.

Could you please give me some idea as what could be the reasons at least in my case

Is this completely curable?

Hi,

As per your adivce I have taken medicine and also practicing breathing exercise daily for 30 mins.

I found my digestion has improved. Bowel movement has also improved a bit. However the symptom halitosis persist, I did not observe change there.

Could you please advice further. Thanks for your advice.

Hi,

I have taken all 3 doseof Lycopodium 200. I find that smell is even more. It seems that I am having acidity after food and during that time the symtom is worse.

I think it was better after taking carbo veg. I was having bad breathe but over all the comfort was there. The digestion was better.

Should I wait for 12 days more to see if there is some improvement. I felt like reporting early so I did.

Thank you.

When should I report again.

Tissue salts was working very well. I noticed the following

After taking dose for 7 days I found that often I could not get any smell. Only if a had taking saliva on wrist and try to smell deep the found a hint of it was there.
Inside my mouth I was feeling very fresh. It was not dry and instead very watery, even after I get up from sleep in the morning. I was feeling very relaxed and happy.

It gradually improved only for couple of more days.

From yesterday I could find symptom started to reoccur and getting worse. Today will be the 13th day of the dose and I am not finding the same freshness in the mouth and also could get the smell of the breath.

Could you please advice further.

One more question, I heard before that some tissue salts are taken by dissolving pills into warm water. Should I take tissue salt directly for dissolve in warm water.

Thank you.

This is almost a repetation of last two doses.

You suggested to take lycopodium 200 similarly but to report after 15 days. Seeing the symptom I reported on 3rd day and then tissue salts were suggested for 15days.

Will the same dose expected to have better result this time?

Please let me know.

Hi,

This time it is mostly good.
I am also duing breathing exercises regularly as suggested by you earlier. I had the following observation.

1. Same, initially after taking lycopodium 200, it became worse then with the start of tissue salts it came dowm within few days.

2. When I do exercise in the evening, I gets worse especially after kapal bhati . But within an hour or so after the exercise, it is much better. Next day before I start exercise I can find the smell and again it reduces much after exercise.

3. I also observed that when I am at rest it is better, but with movements like walking and also while talking it starts to get worse.

Over all it seemed to me as less than before, feeling fresh and watery inside mouth most of the time. I would also like to mention here during my previous course I was not doing breathing exercise. I had just stopped it before the start of course due to work schedule. I feel like exercise is also helping here.

Please advice about next step.

Hi
I found Kumaryasava of Dabur.
Is it same as Kumari Asava.

I could not locate Swami Ramdev's Divya Pharmacy.

I got Kumari Asava.
Is it fine to have the medicine only in evening? Do I need to take for longer period than 15 days then? It is difficult to carry it in workplace.

Hi,

I have taken Kumari Asava for 15 days. I find the following.

1. Smell of breathe has changed a bit, it is now not so offensive, but it is present. If I take saliva from tip of tongue it usually does not smell, but if I touch middle or back of tongue it is worse and smells. Smell of breathe is light and between above two.

2. Feel fresh inside mouth, but if I could not do breathing exersise for two days, things get worse. During this time, after eating, food particles tend to stick on the surface of teeth specially molar and premolar teeth. These food particles smell bad after few hours. I brush after after dinner and early morning , but cannot brush after each meal.

Hi,

I have tried tissue salts and Kumari Asava. There seems to be no further improvement. The symptoms are same as during my last post.

Could you please advice further.
