Homoeopathic medicines (contd.)
Pulsatilla
'Pulsatilla nigricans' is a plant belonging to ranunculaceae
family from which this homeopathic medicine is prepared.
This plant is widely known as windflower. The latent
medicinal power of this plant is aroused by means of
Homoeopathic drug preparation system called as potentization.
Pulsatilla, was proved and incorporated in Homoeopathic
material medica by Mastermind and Founder of Homoeopathy,
'Dr. Hahnemann.' It goes without saying that this medicine
is as ancient as that of homeopathy and still it is one of
the most favorite medicines of Homoeopaths world-over.
There are more than thousands and fifty indications of this
remedy enlisted in homoeopathic Materia Medica. It is in
true sense a polychrest remedy, which has a broad spectrum
of action, useful for a wide range of disease processes. It
is one such remedy, which is useful for acute as well as
chronic complaints. Here follows indications in brief:
Pulsatilla extends its effectiveness on stomach and bowels,
female genital organs, blood vessels, mucous membranes,
skin, lungs, eyes, etc. It is one of the frequently used
medicines for complaints of recurrent styes and chalazion,
asthma, urticaria, lichen planus, Vitiligo, trigeminal
neuralgia, etc. It is one of the best remedies for
gynecological and pregnancy related complaints.
The mental personality of individuals requiring Pulsatilla
is more or less as follows:
These individuals are very mild, timid, emotional and
sensitive. They enjoy having company and they feel better by
sharing their problems with friends and family members.
Soothing words and sympathy as rule calm them. They have
tearful mood, as if full of tears and they feel immensely
relieved after crying. They are usually fearful individuals,
having fear of dark, of ghosts, etc. They have markedly
changeable mood; at one instance calm and gentle and at
another irritable. They are very sensitive to insults; fear
that they may be insulted. Children requiring Pulsatilla
like fuss and caresses.
It may be noted that the homeopathic medicines are largely
broad spectrum. That means, the medicines are capable of
inducing healing process in many kind of diseases. Every
patient requiring a particular remedy will not have all the
indications of the remedy. Again, every remedy will not have
all the symptoms of the patient. The attending physician
makes the selection of the remedy when he or she looks at
the case as a whole.
Staphysagria
Though homoeopathy uses wide range of natural resources
including plants, minerals and compounds, animal
derivatives, the majority of the remedies are derived from
plants and their components. One such example is medicine
Staphysagria, which is prepared from seeds of plant
Deliphinium Staphysagria. The latent medicinal powers of
this plant are aroused by process of homoeopathic mode of
drug preparation called potentization.
Staphysagria was proved and incorporated in Homoeopathic
Materia Medica by our Mastermind and Founder of homoeopathy,
'Dr. Hahnemann'. So this remedy is as old as that of
Homoeopathy and still is one of the topmost in the list of
most favorite medicines of Homoeopaths world over.
Staphysagria is in true sense a polychrest remedy, which has
a broad spectrum of action, useful for a wide range of
disease processes. There are hundreds of indications of this
medicine enlisted in our Materia Medica. Here follows
indications in brief:
Staphysagria positively influence brain, mind, stomach and
bowels, lungs, skin, genito-urinary system, bones and
joints, teeth etc. It is one of the most frequently used
medicines for Vitiligo, eczema, urticaria, herpes, warts,
hair fall, recurrent styes and chalazion, tonsillitis,
Trigeminal neuralgia, etc. It is effective for toothache,
prostate gland complaints etc.
The mental personality of individuals requiring Staphysagria
is more or less as follows:
These are the individuals, who do not allow themselves to
express their emotions. Even if they feel angry they control
themselves and suppress their anger and will not express
their excitement. However these suppressed emotions find
their expressions in the form of physical complaints. They
may almost become speechless on an argument, but their body
may start trembling with anger. They are very sensitive to
insults and slights and to what others say about them. Some
time instead of this enforced control, they may have violent
outburst of emotions. Child requiring Staphysagria may cry
for many things but refuses them when offered. Such children
may develop some complaints after punishment or scolding.
It may be noted that the homeopathic medicines are largely
broad spectrum. That means, the medicines are capable of
inducing healing process in many kind of diseases. Every
patient requiring a particular remedy will not have all the
indications of the remedy. Again, every remedy will not have
all the symptoms of the patient. The attending physician
makes the selection of the remedy when he or she looks at
the case as a whole.
Carcinocin
It is the beauty of homoeopathy that not only plants,
minerals and compounds, animal derivatives, but also some of
bacteria, viruses are also used to prepare special group of
medicine called Nosode. When such agents undergo
homoeopathic mode of drug preparation called as
potentisation, they serve to ailing humanity with their
curative powers. One of the very frequently used Nosode in
homoeopathy is Carcinocin, which is prepared from the
material derived from carcinoma of breast.
Carcinocin is a deep acting constitutional drug having loads
of indications and broad spectrum of action, useful for a
wide range of disease processes. It positively influences
mind, lungs, heart, eyes, skin, bones and joints, etc. It is
one of commonly used medicine for diseases like urticaria,
lichen planus, Vitiligo, styes and chalazion, hair fall,
asthma, insomnia, etc. Homoeopathy believes that the genetic
predisposition or inherent susceptibility is usually root
cause of wide array of diseases. Hence Homoeopaths institute
medicines having efficiency to eliminate such root cause.
One such medicine used to achieve this purpose is Carcinocin.
The mental personality of individuals requiring Carcinocin
is as follows:
These are individuals who are very meticulous and work with
preciseness. They are compassionate and would like to help
others. They feel nervous and tensed before stressful
situations like appearing for exams. They enjoy music and
love dancing. Some of these individuals may experience brain
fag where they may feel disinterested and experience
dullness of mind, difficulty thinking, poor memory, etc.
Children requiring carcinocin are usually stubborn and
headstrong. They suffer badly when scolded.
It may be noted that the homeopathic medicines are largely
broad spectrum. That means, the medicines are capable of
inducing healing process in many kind of diseases. Every
patient requiring a particular remedy will not have all the
indications of the remedy. Again, every remedy will not have
all the symptoms of the patient. The attending physician
makes the selection of the remedy when he or she looks at
the case as a whole.
