I have a slight stammering problem. Last week a family friend who has Homepathy as a hobby suggested that I take Arsenic Alb once a week. Please advise if it is fine to take this drug. Are there any side effects ?

Dear rg,

Usually homeopathy medicines when taken in low potencies and for short duration of time do not have any side-effect. But if the person taking the medicine is sensitive enough and the medicine deep-acting enough, any medicine in any potency can cause undue effects.

There are dozens of medicines in homeopathy that cover the symptoms of stammering. But the way your friend has suggested arsenic for you, is not the right way to take homeopathic medicines. To find the medicine that will suit you and work best for you a detail case-analysis is required by a good qulified homeopath. I suggest you should visit one soo.

Wishing you health,
Dr. B
