Hi Rahul,

You can be cured of this with homeopathy. However, you must
be supervised on the dosing and remedy choices and interactions. That is what Anuj is going to
figure out by asking you the questions on here.

Avena Sativa strengthens nerves and it is homeopathic-
potency of oats. It can be taken for a long time- it is more of a
tonic.

The kali phos -if taking as a Cell Salt- can be taken
for long periods and then a week off and then begin again.

The Aurum Met you cannot keep taking unless supervised.
With the Aurum Met when you have reactions you need to stop
taking it and then wait to see how long it works for- bc if you have
too much it can bring back the depression feelings.

What is the potency of the Aurum met and kali phos?

Anuj will analyze your case and he will then prescribe and
watch your progress till you are well.

Cell salts have tiny amounts of some mineral molecules in them that
help cells get into balance, so that the cells themselves can work
efficiently with the food you eat.

No- you cannot take Aurum met daily.

Please Answer the questions from Anuj- Anuj is going to tell you
what you can take, and how often to take in a safe manner.

He cannot do that unless you answer all the questions.

Regards,

Simone717

If you want advise from Anuj you
must answer all his questions.
Please get someone to help you with
this so your case can be analyzed.
