Veins, sleep, and rosacea

Hi there!

I have been working on studying cell salts, but would love to get your input on what might help me. There is so much information on cell salts, it's not easy to figure what exactly I need and find people who can tell me, so I'd greatly appreciate any help.

I have an ongoing issue with varicose and spider veins, since my 20's, despite the fact that I am thin, exercise, and have never had kids (I'm 38 now). In general, my veins tend to always be very prominent in general. While the aesthetic part isn't my favorite, I'm more concerned with what might be going on with my health to cause this, so I'd love to figure out if cell salts can help.

I also have a tendency toward blood/energy always flowing upward to my head, causing very red face (almost always) and inflammation/rashes on my face and scalp, with rosacea, itchy/flaky scalp (esp around my hairline). I also have an ongoing issue with chapped lips.

Do you offer facial analysis? At some point I'd love to have a facial analysis done, but I've been having difficulty finding a place that does it.

Lastly, I am looking for help with sleep. I have issues with night terrors and constant waking (not due to stressors or any particular PTSD event). I have also been grinding my teeth since I was a child. Are there any particular cell salts that are good for this?

Are your cell salts more potent/effective than the Hyland brand I see everywhere? I have been reading how important it is to find high quality salts, but it's so difficult to know.

Your help is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks you!

Hi and thanks so much for your post!

Veins are primarily related to Calc Fluor . This salt helps to keep the elasticity integrity so that they are less likely to bulge into varicose veins or break, forming the spider capillaries. Ferrum Phos also helps to build the strength and stability of the vessels. Sometimes, there are fluid balance considerations that require Nat Mur or Nat Sulph . If you have no problems with blood pressure, lymph or swelling, you can place lesser importance on these. Calc Fluor tends to be a long-term, slow-acting tissue salt that you may need to keep regularly using throughout your life.

Facial redness is generally associated with

• Ferrum Phos - oxygenation or chronic inflammation
• Mag Phos (anxiety, stress or inability to relax)
• Nat Phos - acid imbalance, particularly if rosacea is involved.

With any skin-related issue, I would also recommend using Kali Sulph and Silicea . Kali Sulph would also be definite in your instance with the itching, flaky scalp, and the itching part may benefit from Nat Mur. One addresses oily dryness, and the other the lack of moisture. Chapped lips come into the Calc Fluor, Nat Mur and Kali Sulph equation.

You can address the sleep issues and teeth grinding you describe with Kali Phos , Calc Phos and Mag Phos. Again, you may find that you need to persist for quite a few months, but there should be an improvement after a few weeks. I usually recommend that you use them during the day, but also keep them close to your bed at night. Use them each time when you wake, and gradually, you should find yourself sleeping more comfortably.

Our AllisOne Tissue Salts are much larger, lactose-free biochemic tablets than the usual homoeopathic pills are. I'm very confident about the high quality of our products. They're tooth-friendly and energetically balanced. We receive great feedback from people who use our product as to their efficacy, just have to find a way to encourage them to post that online!

I do offer facial analysis, either in person or via Skype as I assume you are in the USA. If you're interested, my staff can send you the details, or if you fancy a trip to South Africa, you can come to our Tissue Salts for Vibrant Health intensive course in November

All the best,
Alison

Hi Alison,

Thank you so much for the thoughtful, lengthy response!

Do you recommend that I start with all the salts recommended or should I begin with just a few? I would prefer to try a few to start and see how I do over a few months, unless it's better to take more at once. Also, what is the dosage?

I have also heard that I shouldn't take silica if I have a metal implant of any kind (I have a tooth implant - from the grinding - is that true?

I would love to attend the cell salt intensive over there in South Africa, but it might just have to wait since it's a wee bit far

Thanks again!

Hi Moriah

In your case I think you could start with something like our AllisOne Arthro Synergy and Rescue Synergy , which seem to cover most of the salts recommended; if you wanted to, you could top-up with one or two individual cell salts, e.g. to keep next to your bed if you wish. In that case, I would take about 4-6 tabs a day of each of the Synergies to start with (2 tabs 2 or 3 times daily, or 3 tabs 2 times daily). You could keep the Rescue next to your bed at night and use it as I described when you wake up.

Our Silicea is biochemic, not homoeopathic, and will not cause any problems of with your implant. Please take a look at this blog post which covers it reasonably well. I'd only be concerned if you were on anti-rejection medications because Silicea facilitates what the body naturally wants to reject. I can't speak for homoeopathic brands because they may work on different principles.

I was a little tongue-in-cheek and didn't think you would be able to attend the intensive; one just never knows the possibilities though!

Best wishes
Alison

Wonderful! Thanks so much for the response and additional info! Great to know that it's ok to take silica.

Haha, I figured as much. Maybe one day!

Thanks again!
