Belladonna for Acute Flushing

[Guest guest]

Hi Sue

Yes, I think it is probably Belladonna that you are referring to as being

the 'homoeopathic aspirin'. It is used a lot in acute childhood fevers to

bring the temperature down where there is a fever with hot red face and

diluted pupils and the child is very sensitive to everything - noise,

jarring, etc. In that respect, it would be a good remedy to try for the

acute flushing of rosacea provided that the flushing was dry - the

Belladonna fever is always hot and DRY. So, if you have sweating with the

flushing, it probably wouldn't work.

As I understand it, conventional aspirin is used for rosacea, because it

blocks the release of prostaglandins which, along with histamine,

leukotrienes, etc, can contribute to the inflammatory process and, in our

case, the flushing of rosacea.

Repeating the 30c potency every 15 minutes until a positive change is

noticed would be a good way of taking the Belladonna for this. If, after

two or three doses it has not worked, then it probably isn't going to work

in your case and, perhaps, another remedy would be more suitable.

Hope this is of some help.

Regards

Hazel

Can you help with this one. I often read that baby aspirin is useful with

rosacea. I presume this to be to aid with the heat with the flushing and

perhaps redness of the condition?

Is there a homeopathic remedy which may work in this way. I once heard of a

remedy which was called the 'aspirin of homeopathy', but cant remember now

which one it is. Would it be belladonna, as I have thought to try this?
