what is homeopathic nux vomica 30c?

Accepted Answer

Useful remedy: There are over 2000 homeopathic medicines but nux vomica is easily in the top 10 in terms of popularity. 30c refers to the potency (each remedy is available in different strengths- 30c is intermediate). For acute use some will do better with 12c, some with 30c. Nux is widely used for nausea, indigestion, hangovers and clearing reactions to foods or drugs that don't agree with you. See comment.

I wouldn't. : Nux vomica is the extract from the strychnine tree and is a deadly poison if ingested in sufficient dose. Before i experimented with that, i'd talk to your surgeon about your nausea. He may be able to change your pain medication, reducing narcotics which cause nausea and adding antiinflammatories for better analgesia.

oral lachen planus dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: May increase your risk for developing squamous cell carcinoma from being chronically inflamed.  May also be seen more commonly in patients with hepatitis C so get checked.  I would see a doctor, get a little steroid cream such as Lidex (fluocinonide) gel to reduce the inflammation, get your blood tested, and get regular oral exams looking for non-healing ulcers or nodules.  It is not contagious so kiss away.
