Dr. BAKSHI?S #B67

Key Ingredients & Their Actions:
Croton tig. (4x) ? Intense Skin Irritation and Vesicular Formation:

Croton tig has a powerful effect on the skin and mucous membranes, causing intense itching, inflammation, and vesicle formation. It?s especially useful for herpes zoster with stinging and burning pains at the site of the eruption. This remedy is known for pustular eruptions, particularly on the face and genitals, with painful scratching due to hypersensitivity.
Mezereum (12x) ? Ulcerative Eruptions and Sensitivity to Cold:

Mezereum is indicated for burning, itching eruptions that ulcerate and form thick scabs. The eruptions are usually surrounded by vesicles and have a shiny red areola. This remedy is also known for increasing sensitivity to cold air and is highly effective for managing herpes zoster eruptions with intense burning pain.
Natrum mur. (8x) ? Herpetic Eruptions and Crust Formation:

Natrum mur is a primary remedy for herpetic eruptions, particularly when they are located in flexures (the folds of skin like elbows and knees) or on the scalp and behind ears. The eruptions often become crusty and painful. This remedy helps to reduce painful crusting and itching associated with herpes simplex and zoster.
Rhus tox. (4x) ? Intense Itching, Swelling, and Vesicular Formation:

Rhus tox is effective for conditions where there is redness, swelling, and intense itching. It helps with herpes, urticaria (hives), pemphigus, and erysipelas. The remedy is beneficial for burning, eczematous eruptions and has a tendency to form scales as the eruption heals. It also addresses swollen glands and cellulitis.
Mode of Action:
B67 acts by promoting the healing of vesicular eruptions, reducing inflammation and burning pain while alleviating itching and preventing the spread of herpetic eruptions. The combination of Croton tig. and Mezereum targets the vesicular nature of herpes, while Natrum mur. and Rhus tox. focus on crusty eruptions, pain relief, and supporting the healing process of the affected skin.
Dosage:
10-15 drops in water, taken 3 times daily before meals.
In acute cases, such as a sudden outbreak, the dose can be repeated every 1-2 hours depending on severity.
As improvement occurs, gradually reduce the frequency to 2-3 times daily.
Complementary Remedies:
Herpes localizing around the chest or trunk: Alternate B67 with B29 every 1-2 hours, 10 drops in water.
B6 may be added if there is associated lymph node enlargement, with 10-15 drops in water, 1-2 times daily.
For Neuralgia following Herpes zoster: Use B29 and B68 alongside B67 for nerve pain relief.
For Eczema (acute or chronic): Compare with B23 for additional support in the healing process.
Additional Advice:
Rest and avoid scratching the affected areas to reduce further irritation.
Maintain a cool environment to prevent exacerbating the symptoms.
Hydration and proper diet support immune function and promote faster healing.
If the condition persists or worsens, consult with a healthcare provider for further guidance.
B67 is a useful remedy for managing herpes zoster, herpes labialis, and associated neuralgia, addressing the pain, inflammation, and itching that often accompany these viral eruptions.
