Repetition of the Dose



In dangerous hypermenorrhoea or metrorrhagia, apply the ground remedies 7 or 8 days before the possible date.

In simple cases of hypermenorrhoea, apply only in the beginning of the menses. When it is the question of a case where there is ground for fear of a strong action or the stoppage of the flow apply it only towards the 4th day. There are some women for whom every thing is normal up to the 3rd or 4th day, but who from the 5th day begin to be haemorrhagic. They are types of Pulsatilla. In such cases you can apply China, and Arnica, which will give you good results. The question of time in menstrual disorders is very important.
