Special Precautions of Petroleum

• Do not take homeopathic remedies without first consulting a homeopathic practitioner. Do not take several remedies at the same time as that is often discouraged in homeopathic treatment. Take the recommended dose only and immediately report any changes in condition to your doctor.

Benefits and uses of Petroleum are

• Eczema and Psoriasis: This is not your typical dry skin, but rather an actual health condition. The skin is not only dry, but almost leather-like and cracking. These symptoms cause excessive itching and bleeding. This can make the infected area have a burning sensation, and as to be expected, provide a great deal of discomfort as it heals. Though petroleum may work as a homeopathic remedy for any of these symptoms, it is most effective if the excessive dry skin is due to exposure to chemicals or manual and rigorous labor.
• Diarrhea and Nausea: Though there are varying levels of diarrhea and nausea, they are often very difficult to live with. In this instance, petroleum works best as a homeopathic remedy for those who waiver from ravenous hunger, that leads to constant eating; to an upset stomach, that can’t seem to be cured no matter what type of remedies are used. In this case, food aversion is very common and is usually present with fatty or gassy foods. The two symptoms of diarrhea and nausea often go hand in hand as they are present making daily living very difficult. These may also be partnered up with dizziness, vomiting, and even halitosis whereby the condition leads to unbearable bad breath.
• Travel Sickness: For individuals who suffer from motion sickness or feel ill when traveling about, petroleum may be a helpful homeopathic remedy to turn to. The symptoms may range from nausea and vomiting to severe headaches, and just about everything in between.
• Migraines: Migraines are considered a very severe headache that is often accompanied by other symptoms such as sensitivity to light and change in temperatures. An individual may benefit from petroleum homeopathy as it may help to relieve the painful headaches along with the other symptoms, and the heaviness that one feels towards the back of the head.
• Chilblains: Chilblains is often related to psoriasis and eczema, but frequently takes things one step further. In this instance, the skin is repeatedly scratched raw due to the incessant itching and burning. It is quite common for a discharge to develop and ooze from the skin that is related to this condition, and petroleum may help to curb this and the symptoms that lead up to it.

Profile Type

Those that seem to benefit from petroleum tend to be irritable, quick to anger, and argumentative in nature. They may get confused easily and may even lose their way in familiar territory. They may also feel a sort of duality in their personality, almost as if they are split down the middle at times. Though they tend to always be cold, they are apt to sweat profusely and this may cause a rather substantial odor with their perspiration. They have an aversion not only to fatty foods, but also to certain smells as well, making them somewhat sensitive in nature on occasion. Though they can be difficult at times, they may find great relief from the symptoms that plague them by using petroleum.
