In this case I want to share some of my observation- after second dose of sepia, patient developed skin eruption & also the breast abscess. Skin eruption here we consider cure takes place hearing law of direction of cure. But breast abscess she never had before, after thorough counseling she explained me that when she has breast abscess before me she had shown to a lady gynecologist & gynecologist told her that breast abscess developed because of milk secreting gland started secreting milk due to hormonal changes in your body which is quite interesting to me in this case. Because the situation came in her life she was getting very attach to her nephew. She considers that her nephew is her own child so without bearing a child she becomes a mother & started lactating and therefore this had to be treated.
