Psorinum 574 cannot become black again. But the newer, lower part of the hair grows as black. I do not know with any certainity if Psorinum could also be helpful in turning the colour of grey hair of advanced age back into black. On rare occasions it has been seen that after becoming grey due to ripe old age, hair starts growing black again. I myself have seen many women whose hair turned black after becoming grey due to old age. God only knows the functioning of this mechanism. If a homoeopathic doctor could find a sure shot remedy by which the grey hair of old people could turn black, then that doctor might become the richest person in the world. I invite everybody to do more research on this project using Arnica and Psorinum. It is possible that this prescription may work in old people of cold constitution. The skin diseases of Psorinum resemble those of Graphites. In both of these, the eczema is marred with scabs, underneath which very foul smelling pus is formed and the eczema continues afresh. In Psorinum, the foul smell from the wounds is distinctly more pronounced than Graphites and other remedies. It is simply unbearable. There is severe itching in the wounds, which bleed on scratching. The skin becomes dry and dirty. Scaly bumps develop over the entire body that are resistant to healing. In Psorinum, the eyelids are swollen and sticky. The margins of the eyelids become red and swollen, as in several other remedies. If the disease becomes worse and the eyes become disfigured, Alumina or Alumen can prove to be ideal remedies, especially Alumina, which is very powerful and effective in this respect. If the eyes become inflamed and develop lumps, then Aesculus would be better than Alumina. Most of the eye diseases can improve with these or similar remedies. Sometimes, the eyelids swell and turn outwards, exposing the inner red surface (ectropion). The eyes look dreadful. The eyelashes start to fall. For all these symptoms, Psorinum, Hepar Sulph and Alumina are very high-rated remedies. In Psorinum, the patient suffers from recurrent nasal cold. The nose gets blocked. Despite blockage of the nasal passages, thin yellowish- green fluid runs from the nose, slightly relieving the burning sensation. In view of the changing forms of the influenza virus, Psorinum remains effective only for a short while and then loses its effect. The reason is that the symptoms of the disease keep on changing. Therefore, it is not possible to depend on one or two
