    Dear doctor,
    I have skin disease lichen scroses vulva, I read on various forums borax veneta, I do not know whether it can be used internally or externally? and what is the dosage in the Netherlands, I cannot find anything about its effect. Dot is not allowed in this country more mentioning specific purposes of substances of natural origin.
    Can you help me with this, because I am desperate.
    Kind regards, Evelyn

  2. Hello Dr. Sharma, I was just prescribed Carcinosin by my doctor. I am new to Homeopathy. After thorough research about it on the internet, it says that carcinosin is made from breast cancer tissue. I was quite shocked as I thought homeopathic medicine is made from natural plants. I am quite hesitant to introduce carcinosin into my body. Is it safe to take. Or will I get breast cancer dowin the line in future. Please advice. Many thanks.

  3. I am wondering if you would be so kind as to help me determine which remedy I need. I am nursing a 16 month old and I am 15 weeks pregnant. I am still producing milk more in the right than the left but not having to much nipple sensitivity when she latched. However, my problem is something happened about 3-4 weeks ago when we were nursing at night we were both falling back asleep and I think she nipped me but it was the worst I’ve ever had it felt like a bee sting on the top of my nipple(on my right side my most producing breast and therefore her favorite) and the pain radiates like an umbrella to the rest of the breast and lasted a long time and it still hurts when she latches and nurses and aches afterwards(the aching afterwards and when she’s not nursing may be improving). But I’ve been trying to find the closest remedy and I’m not sure that borax Veneta is it because I don’t have the pain in the opposite breast. So I would really love your expert advice if you can provide it. Thank you so much, Sara
