FEET Sweaty: Silicea 30, or 3x, Sulphur 30, or 3x.

I have noticed that foot bathing and massage tends to improve the senses of sight and hearing. Tension in the brain is relieved and the circulation normalised. This suggests that treatment of the negative pole of the body corrects trouble in the positive pole. Intestinal disturbance also seems to be relieved by foot bathing and manipulation.

P. 18 Five every ten minutes until relieved. Flatulence, acidity and heartburn can be most distressing, and when these conditions are not responsive to remedies in potency (they can be very stubborn when acute) relief may be obtained from one of the following. Sufferers differ so much that only by trial can the most suitable items be selected. It must be noted that these remedies are for the relief of acute symptoms. Causes must be treated by remedies in potency and attention to diet, etc.
