 INTRODUCTION

This book is intended for the student of homoeopathy who

requires short lists of remedies for most of the common
ailments.
In composing these lists I have referred to the works of
other authors, in addition to drawing on my own experience
of homoeopathic prescribing in thirty years in the National
Health Service. I gratefully acknowledge my main sources
of reference:

Dr C. M. Boger’s Synoptic Key of the Materia Medica, DrJ. H.

Clarke’s The Prescriber, Dr D. M. Gibson’s Homoeopathic
First Aid, Dr R. Hughes’ Principles and Practice of Homoeo-
pathy, Dr J. T. Kent’s Repertory, Drs Neatby and Stonham’s
Manual of Homoeopathic Therapeutics and Dr Margaret
Tyler's Drug Pictures.

This book is primarily for qualified physicians, who will

know when investigation and other treatment is needed.
The book can, of course, be bought by others who are not
medically qualified but require the information for the
benefit of themselves, their families and friends. To such
persons I say: homoeopathy is of great value as first aid and
for minor diseases, but if there is any doubt of the signific-
ance of the symptoms and signs of the disease for which a
remedy is sought, be sure to obtain the opinion of a qualified
physician. You may find the homoeopathic remedy a
valuable supplement to other treatment.
The list of symptoms, signs and diagnoses is presented i in
alphabetical order. The sections are confined to one page
for ease of reference and to avoid any confusion which
might arise from long lists of remedies, including some
which are seldom used. In each section the remedies are
presented in alphabetical order; this is better than trying to
arrange them in order of importance, about which opinions
would differ. Lay terms are not always included - sometimes
they are deliberately omitted. For example, ‘Spots’ would be
an unsatisfactory section; the prescriber must know what
variety of spots is in question. Relatively vague terms such
as Sore Throat have no separate sections, because the
reader will need to make a more precise diagnosis, such as
 Tonsillitis, Pharyngitis, Laryngitis, or Tracheitis, and then
refer to the appropriate page.
I have carefully considered the suggestion that the
subject matter should be presented under the headings of
the anatomical systems most involved in each disease. I
have decided not to do so, because the book does not
pretend to be a systematic textbook in that sense, but essenti-
ally a handbook for quick refreshing of the memory.
The brief notes after each remedy will not always be
sufficient to select the right one without further thought,
these few symptoms and signs are in the nature of reminders,
to encourage further thought. It is usually necessary to take
into account not only the main symptoms and signs, but
also the physical and temperamental characteristics of the
patient, and the various factors which make the disease
better or worse.
Critics may object that the presentation of short lists of
remedies will encourage prescribers to dodge the work of
formal repertorisation on paper in the Kentian manner.
There are times when full repertorisation is necessary, but
there are other times when personal experience enables a
simpler way of selecting the similimum, especially when
aided by a handbook such as this.
It will be noticed that there are only a few sections con-
cerning mental symptoms and the various moods and
temperaments. The main reason is that to include them all
would make the book unwieldy. In Kent’s Repertory, for
example, there are eighty-four major rubrics in the ninety-
four pages devoted to ‘Mind’. Therefore no attempt has
been made to mention all of them.
Strange, rare and peculiar symptoms are mentioned, just
as in the clinical situation patients sometimes describe their
- troubles in strange, rare and peculiar terms. In teaching
hospitals these are usually ignored because they do not fit
into the textbook descriptions of disease. Many doctors
hardly hear them because they seem to be irrelevant to
prescribing, but when they are used for selecting the
homoeopathic remedy, their value is great.
The list of subjects is deliberately not comprehensive;
most of the infectious, contagious and notifiable diseases
have been omitted, because if they are not treated (and
when necessary notified) on conventional lines, allegations
of negligence are possible. Nevertheless, homoeopathic
remedies can be valuable additional treatment, especially
in convalescence and for any sequelae.
Vili Homoeopathy cannot, in my opinion, reverse degenera-
tive diseases, but experience of its use does seem to justify
the hope that it may restrain degenerative processes or even
halt them, by improving the general health.
Dr Marion Gray’s list of constitutional remedies and the
main indications for them is a welcome Appendix to the
book. Whenever no ‘local’ or ‘organ’ remedy is clearly
indicated, reference to the list of constitutional remedies
will usually enable the choice to be made with confidence.
I am grateful to my friends Dr Hamish Boyd, Dr David
Gemmell, Dr Marianne Harling, Dr Alastair Jack, Dr
Marion Gray and Mr John Ainsworth, MPS, all of whom
read and made many helpful comments on earlier or later
drafts for the book.
Homoeopathic knowledge continues to grow, as is shown
by the recent publication of the Materia Medica of New
Homoeopathic Remedies by Dr O. A. Julian of Paris, in which
there are seventy-eight new remedies described and recent
additional information about twenty-eight other remedies.
Every homoeopath should strive to record all that he or
she learns from experience, as well as from conversations
and from reading. The interleaved pages of this book are
suitable for recording such knowledge.
N.J.P.
 POTENCY AND DOSAGE

In response to several requests, I venture to offer advice on

the subject of potency and dosage. It is not easy to do this -
there are no fixed rules, and each prescriber works in ways
based on his or her teaching, study, and experience.
There are many factors which influence the decision on
which potency and what dosage to use; the nature of the
disease, the patient’s physique and temperament and
reactions to various circumstances, the previous treatment,
necessary concurrent treatment, and the patient’s know-
ledge of homoeopathic medicine. In tailoring terms, ‘made
to measure’ is needed for the best results.
It is nevertheless possible to offer the reader a number of
generally agreed principles for the administration of
homoeopathic remedies, and the following guidelines are
an attempt to summarise the practice of the majority of
homoecpathic physicians.

Potency
Low potencies are those in which some of the original
substance of the remedy is still present. They are generally
available as 3x, 6x, 6c and 12c. They have wide application,
are less likely to cause aggravations, and the beginner is
advised to use them, especially as they are the potencies
most likely to be available at local pharmacies.
High potencies are those in which there are no molecules of
the remedy remaining - only the homoeopathic potency,
which is still a mystery from the biophysical point of view,
but clinically effective, often producing remarkable results.
The high potencies are best prescribed by the more experi-
enced physicians.
As a general rule, the low potencies are indicated for diseases
which are localised, and not affecting the patient’s general
health. The high potencies are usually indicated when the
patient's general health is disturbed, and also when the
disease has a predominantly psychological cause.
Constitutional remedies (such as those listed in Dr Gray’s
Appendix) are usually prescribed in the 30c and the higher
potencies. Nosodes (equivalent to oral vaccines in potency)
should also be prescribed in high potency, 200c or higher.
When a low potency brings some improvement which is
followed byarelapse, a higher potency of the same remedy
is often indicated, and can be expected to work deeper and
longer.

Dosage
The ideal cure is achieved by one dose of a single remedy;
this does happen, if the dose is given time to work. When
first-aid is needed for injuries, a single dose is usually
enough. The long-term sequelae of trauma in the broadest
sense of the word are also often eliminated by a single dose,
but the physician must be prepared to repeat the remedy to
maintain the improvement or cure.
Sometimes the single dose is given ‘split’ - half in the
evening and half the next morning, on the assumption that
the body may respond to the stimulus better at one time of
the day than at another. In other cases a succession of doses
may be needed to stimulate the system to respond, especially
when the patient is elderly. Some patients are unduly
sensitive to medicaments, and then it is wise to begin treat-
ment with one dose on the first day, two on the second day,
and then three times a day - using low potencies - until
improvement is noticed, and then to stop and review the
situation.
Acute diseases. In very acute circumstances, such as the onset
of a fever, doses may be given at short but increasing inter-
vals such as one, two, four and eight hours. After that, a
second remedy may be needed for the second stage of the
illness. This applies particularly to the common infectious
diseases of childhood, when the symptoms and signs
change.
Subacute diseases. Some, such as lingering respiratory catarrh
or sinusitis, often need a course of a remedy twice a day fora
few days, and occasionally longer.
Chronic diseases usually need higher potencies which work
deeper and longer. Then a dose of a high potency such as.
the 30c can be given once a week until improvements estab-
lished. Some prescribers begin treatment of chronic disease
with a single dose of the constitutional remedy in high
potency, followed by a course of alow potency of the ‘organ
remedy for the organ or system most affected. Or, the organ
Xi
 remedy in low potency (3x, 6x or 6c) may be used daily or
twice daily six days each week, and the constitutional
remedy in high potency on the seventh day of each week.
Episodic diseases, such as migraine, can be treated with one
dose at the onset of the attack. If this is found to cause an
aggravation, the remedy should be withheld till after an
attack. Some chronic diseases are exacerbated in afairly
regular and predictable time of day or week or month, or at
certain times of the menstrual cycle; then it is advisable to
give a dose on the day before an expected attack. For
premenstrual tension, the remedy can be given when
symptoms appear, expecting to need fewer doses each
month, and eventually none at all.
Before and after surgical operations itis usually appropriate to
give a dose before going into hospital, and another on
return home.
Prophylaxis. For the prevention of influenza, and for
building up immunity to other infections such as some of
the childhood fevers, three doses of the nosode at intervals
of one week are usually enough. Some physicians prescribe
a dose at monthly intervals throughout the winter in those
who are particularly susceptible. Nosodes should not be
given during an attack of the infection concerned. When
convalescence is slow, one or two doses of the appropriate
nosode or the constitutional remedy are indicated.
Administration of the Remedy. Unless the symptoms are very
urgent, it is preferable to give the remedy between meals,
not less than thirty minutes before or after food. Any
unnatural taste in the mouth, such as tobacco, alcoholic’
drink, coffee, or toothpaste, lozenges, or commercial ‘sweets’,
should be washed away by a thorough rinsing of the mouth
with plain water or with one of the natural spring waters.
Homoeopathic remedies are best absorbed through the
mucosal lining of the mouth - so the tablets, pills, granules,
or powders should be retained in the mouth until they have
dissolved. Some tablets which dissolve slowly may be
chewed after half to one minute.

 ACNE
In addition to the usual advice on diet, skin care and general -
hygiene, these remedies should be considered:
Belladonna for acne in full-blooded, red-faced persons.
Hepar Sul. when pustules are a prominent feature.
Pulsatilla for acne in pale blondes of either sex.
Silica when there is much scarring.
Staphylococcin if the response to other remedies is slow.
Sulphur for long-standing obstinate cases.

ACNE ROSACEA
Arsenicum Album when there is noticeable desquamation and
burning sensations.
Belladonna for full-blooded, red-faced persons.
Lachesis when caused by oral contraceptives; in addition to
the eruption, there is burning of the face, worse in hot
rooms and worse after taking alcohol.
Nux Vomica_ when there is an above-average intake of alcohol,
especially of spirits.
Rhus Tox. when the nose is red, shiny and swollen, and there
is a tendency to develop pustules.
Sulphur Tod. when the face is dry and red, and develops
pustules.

ADENOIDS, ENLARGED
Bacillinum when there is a family tendency to enlarged
adenoids, and especially if there is a family history of
tuberculosis.
Barium Carb. for children who are under-developed physically
and also mentally backward. :
Calc. Carb. for pale, fat children with cold, clammy feet, and
sweating of the head at night.
Calc. Phos. for thin children with large troublesome adenoids.
Psorinum with itchy skin and offensive sweat.
Sulphur for the child who is always hungry, especially about
eleven in the morning, and has a marked dislike of hot
baths; for adenoids (and tonsils) which are so large as to
cause some degree of obstruction.
 AGGRESSION
Belladonna for sudden and violent,aggression, with an ‘inclina-
tion’ to bite.
Nux Vomica_ when the patient is easily offended, reacts irritably,
and develops tension headaches and dyspepsia.
Sepia for the occasional episodes of aggression in contrast to the
usual depression and apathy.
Staphisagria when aggressive tendencies arise from resentment or
anger which is more or less repressed, with consequent
physical repercussions.
Sulphur for persons with aggressive tendencies concerning
institutions rather than people — social reformers with
strange, even grandiose, ideas: ‘burning with zeal, and
itching for action’.

ALCOHOLISM
Some form of psychotherapy is always needed, as well as advice
on diet and habits.
Aconite for episodes of fear and delirium.
Antim. Tart. for nausea and vomiting, especially if there is
also bronchial catarrh.
Arsenicum Album for restlessness and mental aberrations.
Capsicum when the main symptom is gastritis.
Cinchona_ wants to be alone for solitary drinking.
Crotalus Horridus when vomiting of blood occurs. (That may
necessitate admission to hospital.)
Lachesis for the voluble social over-drinker.
Nux Vomica for hangovers and morning vomiting, especially
after brandy.
Quercus to help to suppress the craving.
Sulphur — will drink almost anything, indiscriminately.
Tuberculinum when drinking leads to violence.
Zinc Met. with twitching and trembling.

ANGER, AND AILMENTS AFTER ANGER

Aconite for anger originating in fright — for example, the
situation after a road accident.
Chamomilla for anger in the young, and in the old — the
remedy for cantankerous behaviour in ‘second childhood’.
Colocynth for anger leading to colic and neuralgia. _
Crocus for anger with violence, with quick repentance.
Hepar Sul. easily roused to vehemence and rapid speech.
Ignatia unreasonable anger leading to a variety of hysterical
manifestations.
Nux Vomica irritability and anger, causing dyspepsia and
other troubles.
Staphisagria suppressed anger and indignation, leading to
headaches and other pains.

 ARTHRITIS, ACUTE
Apis with much swelling of the soft tissues, and redness, like a
bee sting.
Arnica especially helpful when arthritic joints are bruised by
blows and falls.
Bryonia for acute exacerbations, when no relief is obtained

from unaired beds, as well as from damp weather.
Ledum after injections — when corticosteroid injections have
not been as helpful as expected.

unpredictable.

 ASTHMA
It is impossible to condense the many remedies for asthma on to

next room.

Ipecacuanha with catarrh of the nose and throat, and with
scanty sputum.
Kali Carb. especially if attacks begin between 3a.m. and

retention and morning diarrhoea, and the asthma is worse
in damp weather.

cold sweat, nausea and vomiting.

BACKACHE
These are a few of the many remedies which are valuabie for
back pain and also for associated weakness of the back.
Arnica for bruises and for sensations similar to bruises.
Arsenicum Album backache with restlessness — cannot find a
comfortable position.
Cale. Carb. worse while sitting.
Kali Carb. for backache and weakness persisting after
pregnancy and labour.
Nux Vomica with tension in the back muscles, limiting flexion
of the spine.
Phosphoric Acid when weakness is more complained of than
pain.

and better after continued movement.

 CATARRH, CHRONIC NASAL
Obstinate cases often require constitutional remedies as
Pulsatilla, Sulphur, Psorinum, Tuberculinum, Carcinosinum

in deciding which is needed.

and sore nostrils.

depression.
Graphites when there is also constipation, and skin eruptions
around the nostrils.

from day to day; much sneezing.

swelling, inside and outside.

In addition to the usual nursing care, the following remedies
should be considered:

Antim. Tart. wants much attention and is very irritable.
Pulsatilla weeps easily; has little thirst.

weight, and dislike of windy weather.
Petroleum when the skin has broken — and when the finger
tips are cracked.
Pulsatilla | more painful in warm rooms and in bed, and particu-
larly after exposure to radiant heat.
Rhus Tox. when there is blistering associated with chilblains.
Tamus_ when the desire to scratch is irresistible.
Zincum Met. for chilblains which are worse after rubbing,
especially in persons with fidgety feet.

COCCYDYNIA (PAIN IN COCCYX)

Antim. Tart. with a sensation of a heavy load on the coccyx, |
dragging the body down.
Apis burning and stinging pain.
Causticum drawing or bruised sensation.

Kali Iod. if the patient is hot and cold alternately, with a red
nose and pain in the forehead.
Mag. Mur. with marked loss of taste and smell.
Mercurius_ with much sweating, salivation and thick catarrh.
Natrum Mur. when there is much sneezing in the morning.

and much irritability and intolerance.
Pulsatilla intermittent catarrh, no thirst and better out of
doors.
Sanguinaria watery catarrh and a tickling dry cough.
Silica slow onset, slow recovery and with sinusitis.

COMPLEXION

choice of a remedy — provided that the symptoms and signs
confirm that choice.
Alumina an unhealthy ‘earthy’ appearance.
Apis when the face is swollen and red.
Arsenicum Album bluish rings around the eyes.
Belladonna _ bright red.

 CONCUSSION
Homoeopathic remedies are valuable as first aid after con-
cussion, and are also valuable for the sequelae.
Arnica especially when there is visible bruising.
Cicuta when there are any convulsions or muscle twitchings.
Helleborus when headache persists and is ‘stupefying’.
Hypericum if the head is extremely sensitive.
Kali Phos. with insomnia persisting.
Natrum Mur. when depression persists.

CONJUNCTIVITIS
If there is any doubt concerning the cause of conjunctivitis, the
opinion of an ophthalmologist should be obtained. In simple
cases, in addition to local treatment, homoeopathic remedies
can help.
Aconite in the early stages, with injection of the conjunctival
blood vessels.
Alumina with dryness.
Apis in acute cases, with chemosis.
Argentum Nit. with muco-purulent discharge.
Arsenicum Album with burning tears — almost a corrosive
feeling.
Belladonna with dilation of the pupils.
Euphrasia much watering, with burning and with involvement
of the edges of the eyelids.
Pulsatilla conjunctivitis associated with weeping, and much
rubbing of the eyes causing inflammation.
Rhus Tox. for involvement of the eyes in cases of shingles.
Silica for the conjunctivitis persisting after injury by foreign
bodies.
Sulphur redness of the conjunctivae, not necessarily infected;
with hot sensations, worse at night.

1S
 CONSTIPATION
In addition to advice on diet and exercise and encouraging a
good bowel habit, homoeopathic remedies can be helpful.
Aesculus when there is a sensation of fullness in the rectum
even after a motion.
Alumen when the stools are very hard and cause bleeding.
Alumina when there is no urging, but eventually a soft stool
with incomplete emptying of the rectum.
Bryonia_ when the stools are large, hard and dry, in spite of
drinking large quantities of fluids.
Calc. Carb. when the patient paradoxically feels better when
constipated.
Lycopodium when there are rumblings in the bowels, but no
action.
Nitric Acid with painful defaecation resulting in bleeding, and
with the sensation of sharp sticks in the rectum.
Nux Vomica for sedentary workers with ineffectual urging;
even after a motion the rectum never feels empty.
Opium for ‘lazy’ bowels with little peristalsis.
Silica when the stool is low in the rectum but hard to pass.

CONVULSIONS
There is little one can do at the time of a convulsion apart from
maintaining the airway and preventing injury, but homoeo-
pathic remedies can be helpfui in reducing the recurrence of and
the severity of the convulsions.
Aconite when caused by fright, and during fevers.
Aethusa_ with gastroenteritis, especially if there is intolerance
of cow’s milk.
Belladonna convulsions during fever, with very flushed face,
staring eyes and dilated pupils.
Chamomilla during teething, especially if accompanied by
anger.
Cicuta with twitchings, jerkings and vertigo.
Cuprum Met. for convulsions caused by the paroxysms of
whooping cough, and with cramps and spasms of fingers.
Glonoine after too much exposure to the sun.
Ignatia after punishment and other emotional upsets.
Nux Vomica convulsions preceded by irritability, and some-
times caused by indigestion.
Zinc Sul. in infants with pale face and sunken fontanelle.

 COUGH
Such a common symptom; but a lot of careful thought is
required before it can be treated accurately. If persistent,
investigations may be needed to establish a precise diagnosis.
The following list of remedies is only a sample of the many
which are needed from time to time.
Ammon. Carb. productive cough, waking the patient in the
night.
Antim. Tart. much rattling in the chest.
Bryonia_ with pain in the chest as in pleurisy.
Cale. Carb. with tickling provoking the cough.
Causticum dryness, rawness and hoarseness.
Coccus Cacti with a sensitive throat and paroxysmal cough.
Drosera paroxysmal cough with laryngitis or laryngeal spasm.
Ipecacuanha choking cough leading to gagging, nausea and
vomiting.
Kali Bich. with stringy sputum.
Kali Carb. with lumpy sputum.
Phosphorus dry racking cough, worse when talking.
Pulsatilla worse in a warm room, better in the open air.
Rumex worse on changing from warm air to cold.
Senega viscid sputum.
Sepia productive cough at night, but little in the day.
Spongia paroxysmal dry cough sounding like a bark.
Sticta dry night cough.

CRAMP
Arnica for cramps which occur when fatigued.
Calc. Carb. for patients who are overweight, pale and ‘flabby’.
Camphor for cramps in the calves, with icy coldness of the
feet:
Colchicum for cramps in the soles.
Cuprum Met. for cramps beginning as twitches.
Nux Vomica for cramps occurring at night.
Mag. Phos. for writer’s cramp in the fingers.
Veratrum Album for cramps occurring as a result of diarrhoea
and vomiting — similar to cholera.

17
 CROUP
Croup was the popular name for diphtheria, which has now
almost been eradicated. But croupy coughs occur quite often,
and these remedies should be considered:
Aconite in the early stages of fevers, especially if brought on
by exposure to cold air.
Agaricus for nervy twitchy children — similar to chorea.
Antim. Tart. with rattling sounds in the chest as well.
Belladonna with fever, red face, dry skin and mouth.
Hepar Sul. when croup develops after midnight.
Ignatia when the croup has been brought on by fright or other
emotion.
Iodum with wheezing ‘sawing’ respiration; the child tends to
grasp the throat.
Kali Bich. with tough stringy phlegm.
Lachesis waking the patient from sleep.
Sambucus rough sibilant wheezing — and more sweat in the
day than when asleep.
Spongia_ witha hoarse dry barking cough.

CYSTITIS
True cystitis is due to infection, and antibiotic or
chemotherapeutic treatment is usually advisable. When
infection is resistant, the homoeopathic nosode of the infecting
organism can be expected to cure. At other times, so-called
cystitis is an irritation of the bladder and urethra; for example,
oxaluria after eating too many strawberries. Advice on hygiene
may also be appropriate.
Apis frequent micturition with sharp stinging pains.
Belladonna during fever, with concentrated urine.
Benzoic Acid when the urine smells like a dirty stable.
Berberis with turbid urine and a slimy mucous sediment.
Cantharis frequency, and much burning pain.
Causticum frequency, and dribbling leaking at other times.
Dulcamara for cystitis due to chilling in cold damp weather.
Lycopodium when the urine has a deposit of pink urates.
Pulsatilla when the threshold to pain is low, and slight tension
in the bladder provokes micturition.
Sarsaparilla when pain comes only at the end of micturition.

Day
 DANDRUFF
Also known as scurf, and officially as seborrhoea capitis.
Arsenicum Album very itchy scalp in persons with the typical
Arsenicum personality (see Appendix).
Fluoric Acid dry scaling of the scalp, with marked loss of hair.
Graphites much scaling of the scalp, often with moistness and
crusting, like impetigo.
Mezereum much itching, and with thick white crusts.
Oleander a minor remedy, but mentioned by Clarke as having
a peculiar symptom — ‘biting itching’.
Sepia moist dandruff.
Sulphur dandruff provoking much scratching, especially at
night.

DEAFNESS
Some of the many forms of deafness, of many different causes,
are not amenable to treatment. Some are benefited by surgery,
and the persistent catarrhal forms of deafness are particularly
suitable for homoeopathic treatment.
Borax for chronic suppurative otitis media, when antibiotics
have not been completely successful.
Causticum with tinnitus and reverberation of the voice.
China Offic. for elderly debilitated persons with deafness and
much tinnitus.
Kali Mur. for eustachian catarrhal obstruction.
Lycopodium with discharge from the ears, and eczema of the
outer ear.
Mercurius has proved valuable in the treatment of ‘glue ear’.
Nitric Acid when hearing is better in noisy surroundings.
Pulsatilla catarrhal deafness, better in the open air.
Silica catarrhal deafness with sinusitis as well.

19
 DEBILITY
Every day hundreds of patients tell their doctors they have ‘no
energy’ — usually an understandable exaggeration, really
meaning that they have no zest — for many different reasons.
Provided that debilitating diseases and psychological factors
have been excluded, one of these homoeopathic remedies may
restore the strength and enthusiasm required.
Arnica for those who feel battered and bruised.
Arsenicum Album _ weakness, faintness and loss of appetite.
Calc. Carb. ‘cold and blue’ — cannot get warm enough to get
going; like a sluggish engine.
Cale. Phos. debility after acute illness.
Carbo Veg. debility after long and exhausting illness.
Kali Carb. weakness felt mostly in the back, probably signify-
ing the inability to carry one or more burdens.
Kali Phos. ‘nervous prostration’ — especially in adolescents
who are ‘burning the candle at both ends’ — when the
smallest task seems too much to attempt.
Mag. Carb. tiredness felt mostly in the legs and feet.
Nux Vomica falls asleep in the early evening, is irritable and
dyspeptic.
Sepia for the person who has lost interest in the family and
finds housework exhausting, especially washing-up and
laundry.
Silica when the diet seems adequate, but does not provide the
energy one expects.

DELIRIUM
Aconite worse at night, with much fear.
Agaricus worse at night and with headache.
Arsenicum Album_ worse after midnight and very restless.
Baptisia disorientated and flushed.
Belladonna with high fever, dry red skin, and dilated pupils.
Bryonia_ with fever, vivid dreams and muttering.
Hyoscyamus foolish laughter alternating with muttering.
Lachesis worse at night, very talkative and with tight sen-
sations in the neck and the chest.
ee worse from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., with confusion over
words.
Rhus Tox. with muscle pains and sudden episodes of weeping.
Stramonium muttering delirium and writhing movements.
Veratrum Album with much pain.

 DELIRIUM TREMENS
This complication of alcoholism usually requires treatment in
hospital, but it may be possible to give one of the following
remedies as first aid:
Antim. Tart. for delirium with gastric pain and vomiting with
much mucus.
Arsenicum Album very restless and agitated.
Belladonna furious delirium with staring eyes.
Hyoscyamus a quieter delirium, with muttering.
Nux Vomica_ with muscle spasms and twitchings.
Stramonium imagines he (or she) sees animals or insects.

DEPRESSION
This is a complicated subject, especially when one has to
consider the extent to which anxiety and other emotions are
mixed with depression. Sometimes the cause is obvious and can
be dealt with simply; at other times psychiatric advice is
necessary. In any case, the homoeopathic remedy can be
administered as supplementary aid. Of the many which are
valuable, only a few can be mentioned here:
Anacardium depression, with out-of-character swearing.
Arsenicum Album restless and self-reproaching.
Aurum Met. ‘under a black cloud’ and potentially suicidal.
Cale. Carb. for depression with fears of various kinds.
Ignatia full of contradictions.
Lilium Tig. worse in the evenings; tends to throw things about.
Lycopodium dyspeptic, melancholic and talkative.
Natrum Mur. weeps in solitude.
Nux Vomica for depression alternating with bad temper.
Pulsatilla can’t fight against circumstances and doesn’t care
who sees her weeping.
Staphisagria easily upset by mere trifles and is resentful.
Sulphur depressed to the point of ‘I don’t.care’.

DESPAIR
Aurum Met. for melancholia, when the patient wanders about
saying little or nothing, and contemplates suicide.
Calc. Carb. for indecision, lack of confidence, despair of
recovery — and undue sensitivity to cold.
Stannum when the patient has a sallow face, sunken eyes, is
hypochondriacal, and loses hope relatively slowly.
a
 DIARRHOEA
If this is not due to colitis, sprue or other diseases which need
investigation and dietary advice, these are some of the remedies
which may be helpful:
Arsenicum Album simultaneous diarrhoea and vomiting.
Bryonia . due to sour fruit.
Colocynth with much colic, causing the patient to bend
double.
Dulcamara after exposure to cold and damp.
Merc. Corr. slimy offensive stools with traces of blood, and
with tenesmus.
Natrum Sul. morning diarrhoea, with stools of normal colour,
but loose and urgent.
Petroleum worse after cabbage and other green vegetables.
Podophyllum_ watery yellow stools early in the morning, with a
sense of weakness in the rectum.
Pulsatilla worse at night, and variable — no two stools alike.
Sulphur with much offensive flatus, smelling of bad eggs.

DISTENSION OF ABDOMEN
This is a symptom with many causes: some, such as baked
beans, quite trivial; others, such as ascites, very serious. If
investigations are needed, while waiting for the results, try one
of these remedies:
Argentum Nit. with flatulence, and fondness of sugar.
Carbo Veg. wind accumulates in the stomach and is difficult
to bring up.
China Offic. fullness in the abdomen, not better for belching.
Lycopodium dyspepsia similar to peptic ulceration, andia
feeling of fullness even after onlyalittle food.
Magnesium Phos. distension with colic, or colic with disten-
sion.
Millifolium distension due to ascites.
Pulsatilla frequent eructations, and nausea, and compulsion to
loosen the clothing.
Raphanus ‘incarcerated flatus’ which will not move up or
down in spite of much rumbling.
Sulphur distension due to flatus which is offensive.

 DYSMENORRHOEA (PERIOD PAINS)
If the trouble persists for more than two or three months, it is
wise to obtain a doctor’s advice before continuing with the
chosen remedy.
Actea in stout and red-faced women.
Belladonna worse when lying down; the patient prefers to keep
going.
Borax pain radiating down the thighs.
Caulophyllum with much cervical spasm in the first day or
night.
Chamomilla angry — ‘this is not fair’ — ‘I can’t bear it’.
Cuprum Met. with cramps in the pelvis and in the fingers.
Lachesis worse on waking and worse after taking coffee.
Mag. Phos. with spasmodic pains and cramps, relieved by hot
water bottles.
Pulsatilla with a flow of rather dark blood, and when the pain
reduces the patient to tears.
Sepia with scanty flow and with dragging sensations in the
pelvis.
Viburnum Op. when the periods are delayed and there is much
pain, though there is little loss.

DYSPEPSIA (ACUTE)
This section refers to episodes of indigestion of sudden onset,
without vomiting or diarrhoea. It will be noticed that three of
the remedies appear in both the Acute and the Chronic
sections - exemplifying their wide range of use.
Argentum Nit. after eating too much sweet food.
Arsenicum Album burning pain, and desire for frequent small
drinks.
Bryonia pressure in the stomach and heavy sensation as if it
contained a stone or a weight.
Chamomilla as a result of anger or argument during a meal.
Colocynth griping pains after eating sour fruit.
NuxVomica dueto anxiety and irritability, too much alcohol,
after business lunches.
Phosphorus heartburn - even alittle water does not stay down
long.
Pulsatilla after eating too much fatty food; often better for a
walk in the open air.

ojo
 DYSPEPSIA (CHRONIC)
If indigestion is persistent, it is wise to consider investigation to
exclude peptic ulcer and other serious conditions which may
need surgery.
Argentum Nit. with eructations of wind and acid — eats too
much sugar.
Cale. Carb. especially after fatty and oily food, very fond of
boiled eggs, which upset.
Carbo Veg. acidity with much flatulence, in chilly persons
who nevertheless like fresh air.
Dioscerea_ with colic, which is better for straightening or even
leaning backwards.
Lycopodium with distension after only a little food, and
developing pain which raises suspicion of a peptic ulcer.
Muriatic Acid when there is hyperacidity, especially if lots of
antacids have been taken.
Nux Vomica easily upset by many things —- alcohol, noise,
arguments and so on. Pain occurs typically two hours after
food.
Pulsatilla with nausea, leading to vomiting of watery material
with mucus.
Robinia constant eructations and vomiting of intensely acid
food residue, mostly at night.
Sulphur with regurgitation of food and acid, about one hour
after meals; hungry at 11 a.m.

DYSPHAGIA
If painful or difficult swallowing is persistent, investigation will
be needed to exclude organic lesions and neurological causes.
China Offic. with much sensitivity — the patient dislikes the
throat being touched.
Gelsemium _ slow difficult swallowing, because the muscles feel
weak.
Ignatia globus hystericus — says he or she cannot swallow —
but does.
Kali Carb. slow swallowing, with choking.
Lachesis when there is a sense of constriction in the throat and
neck (and chest).
Merc. Sol. with slimy mucus, hard to clear and swallow.
Nitric Acid with sharp sticking pains in the throat, as if due to
a fish bone.
Phosphorus with burning pain, and traces of blood when the
throat is cleared.
Stramonium with dryness of the throat and spasms of the
24 muscles of swallowing.

 EARACHE
In selecting the remedy, much depends on the nature of the
ache or pain, and on the patient’s reaction to it, as well as the
cause of the trouble and the modalities. Some of the more
important remedies are:
Apis when there is much swelling of the meatus.
Belladonna when throbbing is a feature.
Chamomilla for the child who reacts angrily.
Graphites when there is much smelly discharge.
Hepar Sul. when there is pus forming — before it is discharged.
Lachesis when swallowing markedly increases the pain.
Merc. Sol. worse at night.
Nitric Acid for sharp stabbing pains.
Nux Vomica_ when the patient is irritable and intolerant of
noise.
Pulsatilla for earache caused by eustachian catarrh.
Sulphur when the meatus is red and itchy.

ECZEMA
The constitutional remedy is usually needed. Sometimes the
causative agent in potency is valuable. In addition, one of the
following remedies may be indicated:
Alumina dry irritating eczema.
Antim. Crud. eczema of the face and of the genitals.
Bovista eczema of the back of the hands.
Cicuta eczema of the chin.
Graphites eczema of the palms.
Hepar Sul. moist lesions, very sensitive to the touch.
Kali Sul. very similar to Pulsatilla — see the Appendix.
Mezereum eczema of the scalp, with much exudate.
Petroleum eczema which cracks easily, especially behind the
ears.
Radium Brom. eczema after radiotherapy.
Rhus Tox. eczema with vesicles
Sulphur dry, itching and warm.

25
 EUSTACHIAN CATARRH
Asarum_ when there are floating sensations, and when there is
hypersensitivity to scratching sounds.
Calc. Carb. when accompanied by enlarged adenoids, and
when the constitutional features are present.
Kali Sul. when there is also yellow nasal catarrh.
Petroleum when there happens to be some skin disorder, with
the cracks or fissures characteristic of Petroleum.
Pulsatilla the remedy most often needed for Eustachian
catarrh, when it is better in the open air - even if the con-
stitutional features are not marked.

EXCITEMENT, AILMENTS AFTER

This section is mainly concerned with children who cannot settle
down after parties and other exciting occasions — not illness, but
a definite problem in some children.
Capsicum headache and disturbance of vision.
Coffea cannot get off to sleep.
Ignatia as a result of grief, alternate laughter and tears.
Kali Phos. mainly for adolescents who become overtired from
excessive mental and physical exertion. :
Nux Vomica stuttering.
Phosphoric Acid weakness, and trembling legs.
Pulsatilla easily excited to tears.
Staphisagria speechless with excitement, and then stammers.

FAINTING
Ordinary first aid measures are required for any faint; there is
‘seldom time or need to give a homoeopathic remedy. But when
faintness persists or recurs:
Aconite fainting due to fright.
Arnica after injury.
Arsenicum Album due to debility, with or without anaemia. ~
Carbo Veg. very cold and faint — has been called the ‘corpse
reviver’; at other times, gasping for air.
Cocculus asa result of travel sickness.
Hepar Sul. very sensitive to any pain.
Ignatia hysterical, and after over-breathing.
Iodum faint from hunger, when meals are delayed.
Nux Vomica faint at the sight of blood.
Pulsatilla fainting in hot stuffy rooms.

 FEAR
Experience suggests that homoeopathic remedies for phobias
are not mere placebos, but are effective when other measures
such as tranquillisers have had little or no positive effect. These
are some of the remedies which can be helpful:
Aconite fear of death; wakes suddenly in fright.
Argentum Nit. fear causing diarrhoea.
Gelsemium — school phobia.
Kali Carb. fear of being alone, especially in the evening.
Opium ‘petrified’ - fear causing a state of helpless inaction.
Phosphorus fear of the dark, sensitivity to thunder storms, and
nightmares.
Pulsatilla fears leading to floods of tears.

FEET, BURNING
Though this not a formal diagnosis, it is a tiresome symptom,
not uncommon, and it is good to be able to offer something in
addition to foot baths and foot powders:
Apis with swelling, and stinging sensations also.
Chamomilla hot and sweating feet.
Graphites burning sensations in the soles, worse when walking.
Medorrhinum also gets cramps and often sleeps in the knee-
elbow position.
Phosphorus burning sensations, especially in the soles, and a
tendency to haemorrhages elsewhere.
Pulsatilla hot sensations in the feet, extending up to the calves,
and worse when the feet hang down.
Secale burning sensations in the hands as well as the feet.
Silica burning feet at night, and cold clammy feet by day.
Sulphur burning feet, worse at night — the patient often puts
the feet out of bed to cool them. :

FRIGHT, EFFECTS OF
Homoeopathic remedies can help as first aid after frightening
episodes or situations. They can also help when the reaction
persists for days or even weeks.
Aconite palpitations.
Belladonna nightmares.
Coffea insomnia.
Gelsemium diarrhoea or incontinence, or both. .
Hyoscyamus delirium at night.
Ignatia hysterical behaviour, including convulsive movements.
Opium stupor and inaction — ‘scared stiff’.
 GALL BLADDER COLIC
. This may need surgical treatment; while investigations are
being arranged, one of the following will be helpful:
Berberis with obstruction, leading to putty-coloured stools and
jaundice.
Calc. Carb. for the classical ‘fat, fair and forty’ women.
Chelidonium when the pain radiates in the typical manner to
the right scapula.
China Offic. for pain leading to some degree of shock — with
cold clammy skin, chills and rigors.
Colocynth pain relieved by flexing the back and legs, actually
pressing on the painful area.
Dioscerea better when the back and legs are extended.
Lycopodium worse between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.
Mag. Phos. pain in relatively short spasms, better for heat of
hot water bottle.

GINGIVITIS AND PYORRHOEA

It is usually wise to obtain the advice of a dentist.
Arsenicum Album with a desire for frequent small drinks.
Borax when there are ulcers on the tongue and cheeks.
Calc. Phos. swollen, tender and easily bleeding gums.
Carbo Veg. sore bleeding gums and loose teeth.
Causticum toothache and ulceration of the gums.
Kali Carb. with offensive breath.
Merc. Sol. when the gums are swollen and not close to the
teeth; bad breath.
Natrum Mur. if there is a bitter taste and loose teeth.
Nitric Acid when there are sharp pains like splinters and when
ulceration develops.
Phosphorus for gums which are soft and ‘spongy’ and bleed
easily.
Silica) when gumboils develop slowly and heal slowly.

GLANDS, ENLARGED LYMPHATIC

The cause of the enlargement must be determined. In addition
to any other necessary treatment:
Arum Triphyllum especially for submaxillary glands.
Barium Carb. associated with tonsillitis.
Cale. Carb. when the mediastinal glands are affected and
cause cough and other symptoms.
Hepar Sul. for particularly tender glands, as in the axillae.
Merc. Sol. if suppuration threatens or occurs.
28 Silica when enlargement is slow and subsidence is also slow.

 GLANDULAR FEVER
This infection is an example of the general principle that one
does not treat a disease according to its label, but in con-
sideration of its symptoms and signs. Those of glandular fever
are: fever, malaise, sore throat, enlarged lymphatic glands, a
rash which may look like measles or scarlet fever, tiny points of
bleeding in the skin, and sometimes enlargement of the spleen
and liver. The selection of the remedy is made according to
whichever features of the illness are predominant at the time.
Later on the constitutional remedy is usually needed, especially
if convalescence is slow.

GOUT
Modern conventional treatment is usually necessary for the
acute phases. The homoeopathic constitutional remedy is
valuable in the intervals. Various other remedies are worth
considering as an addition to control therapy:
Benzoic Acid when the urine is strongly coloured and smells
rather like a stable.
Colchicum the classical remedy, usually the first to be tried
when the constitutional remedy is not obvious.
Ledum better in cold air and better for cold bathing.
Lycopodium this is the constitutional remedy most often
needed, especially if one foot is hot and the other is cold.
Pulsatilla when the pains go from one joint to another.

GRINDING OF TEETH
Of course this is not an illness, but it is a tiresome symptom or
habit, and potentially harmful to the teeth.
Apis during fevers, especially if the uvula is swollen.
Belladonna during fever, with hot red dry skin.
Cicuta when associated with fits.
Cina when the child has threadworms, Cina can be given
while waiting for the worms to be eliminated.
Podophyllum when there is intestinal colic as well.
Zincum Met. when the child is unduly fatigued.

29
 HAEMORRHOIDS
Piles usually respond well to Hamamelis or Paeonia in ointment
form. The ointments are equally soothing for internal as well as
external piles. When they keep recurring, it is worth considering
the use of remedies by mouth.
Aesculus with backache and prolapse of the rectum.
Aloe piles ‘like grapes’, associated with explosive diarrhoea.
Ammon. Carb. worse during the menses.
Capsicum with tenesmus and colic.
Causticum very tender piles.
Collinsonia also with tenesmus.
Hamamelis_ with soreness like a bruise.
Hypericum very sensitive, and bleeding easily.
Merc. Viv. with blood and mucus.
Nitric Acid with pricking sensations and with fissure.
Nux Vomica_ with irritability.
Paeonia much pain during and after bowel action, and often
with
a fissure.
Pulsatilla with mucus.
Ruta with prolapse of the rectum.
Thuja when the patient also has warts.
Verbascum_ with much irritation in the rectum.

HAIR, LOSS OF
Aurum Met. does not really care if all the hair falls out — is
tired of life.
Fluoric Acid the hair goes dry and brittle and falls out.
Mercurius with constitutional disturbances — the patient is
weak, tremulous and sweaty.
Mezereum the hair becomes curly and then falls out.
Selenium the pubic hair falls out as well as the scalp hair.
Sepia for the patient who is depressed and worried, especially
about the family and by the family.
Thallium with a tendency to conjunctivitis.

Fluoric Acid constantly moist palms.
Ledum boring pains in the thumbs, better when cool.
Rhus Tox. pains in most parts of the hands, especially in the
thumbs of persons who do much knitting.
Ruta sprains of the wrists and fingers.
Sulphur — hot hands.

HAY FEVER
The usual official name, allergic rhinitis, is not a full description
because the eyes, the sinuses and the eustachian tubes are so
often involved as well. The constitutional remedy is often
needed. At other times it is helpful to prescribe the allergen in
potency, or a nosode.
Allium Cepa much lachrymation.
Arsenicum Iod. dry sneezing and a wheezy chest.
Arundo much itching in the nostrils. .
Dulcamara_ worse in the open air.
Euphrasia burning lachrymation.
Pulsatilla better in the open air.
Sabsdilla much itching in the nose, and chest symptoms, “hay
asthma’.
Sanguinaria hay fever complicated by polypi.
Silica nasal obstruction, worse on waking and with obstinate
sinusitis — in chilly persons. 31
 HEADACHE
No comprehensive list is attempted here; there are so many
causes, and so many types. Nevertheless, it is worth presentinga
short selection of some of the most useful homoeopathic
remedies for headache.
Arnica after head injury, with or without concussion.
Belladonna ‘bursting’ headache, with dilated pupils.
Bryonia better for pressure and keeping still.
Gelsemium occipital headache and heavy eyelids.
Glonoine throbbing headache, sometimes due to too much
exposure to the sun.
Lachesis worse on waking, and more on the left side.
Lycopodium with vertigo, and mainly on the right side.
Magnesium Phos. neuralgic pain, of a ‘shooting, electric’ type.
Nux Vomica the classical remedy for tension headache in the
neck.
Pulsatilla better in the open air and after cold applications.
Sanguinaria headache gradually worse till noon, then improv-
ing.
Spigelia neuralgic pains, especially in the left temple.
Sulphur headache worse in the evening.

HEART DISORDERS
Heart failure should receive all necessary conventional
treatment. Homoeopathic treatment is often a valuable sup-
plementary measure. For symptoms which are tiresome and
uncomfortable but not dangerous, the following remedies are
worth remembering:
Apis relatively sudden pain in the heart with a sense of
something like suffocation.
Arnica when there is a sensation that the heart is being
squeezed.
Arsenicum Album palpitation and some irregularity, with
much anxiety and restlessness.
Cactus the classical homoeopathic remedy for anginal pain,
when the chest seems ‘in a vice’.
Digitalis if the pulse is persistently slow, similar to the result
of overdosage of digitalis glucosides.
Lachesis_ when pain in the heart extends to the neck.
Spigelia one of the most useful remedies, especially for strong
palpitations, detectable by others and sometimes even
reported to shake the bed.

 HEARTBURN

sations, for which the formal word is pyrosis.

Colchicum with nausea at the smell, sight or even thought of
food.
Lycopodium burning pains with regurgitations or actual
vomiting, as in peptic ulceration.

Nux Vomica for hiccoughs occurring an hour or two after
food.
Veratrum Viride if hiccoughs follows vomiting.

33
 HYPERACUSIS
Unduly sensitive hearing is not a disease in the ordinary sense,
but it is often mentioned as a secondary symptom, and can be
useful in deciding the choice of the remedy:
Cannabis Ind. hearing very acute, combined with the exag-
geration of duration of time and extent of space.
Coffea excessive sensitivity to music and voices, combined
with active and alert thinking, and insomnia.
Nux Vomica_ the patient’s own voice sounds unduly loud to
him or her.
Opium undue sensitivity to sounds - an unexpected feature
with the classical stupor.
Phosphorus small noises such as the screwing up of paper are
‘intolerable’, disturbing.
Silica loud noises actually cause pain in the ears.
Tabacum sensitivity to music and loud talking, with tinnitus
as well.

HYPOCHONDRIASIS
Undue anxiety about one’s health is sometimes an important
factor in selecting the remedy. |
Actea_ with depression, like a black cloud over everything.
Arsenicum Album anxiety drives him or her out of bed at night.
Aurum Met. _ thinks of suicide.
Cale. Carb. fears he or she will go crazy.
Ignatia with a tendency to hysteria.
Natrum Mur. melancholy, tired of life and wants to be alone.
Nux Vomica_ quarrelsome, and with episodes of violence.
Stannum with weakness, and symptoms predominantly
abdominal.
Valerian when there are rapid irrational changes of mood.

HYSTERIA
Actea_ with gnawing sensations in the epigastrium.
Asafoetida with belchings and sensations of distension.
Crocus has emotional outbursts with quick repentance.
Ignatia with the classical lump in the throat.
Lachesis very talkative.
Moschus_ with difficult breathing and ‘spasms’ in the chest.
Platina haughtiness, with contempt.
Tarentula Hisp. with twitching or jerking of muscles.
Valerian excited and sleepless, sometimes with a sensation of
34 floating in the air.

 ICTHYOSIS
Dry scaly skin which has less than the normal amount of
natural oil in it can predispose to infection, as well as being
unsightly and uncomfortable. In combination with suitable
oe to soften the skin, one of these remedies can be given by
mouth.
Arsenicum Album dry skin with fine scales, thirsty for small
drinks.
Graphites with cracks in the skin, usually overweight.
Natrum or dry skin and an itchy patch on the nape of the
neck.
-Plumbum very little sweating and usually constipated.
Sepia with increased pigmentation.
Thuja for dirty looking skins, with warts.

IMPETIGO
This highly contagious skin disease, characterised by its
purulent oozing which forms thick scabs, is usually treated by
local antibiotic applications and should be covered to reduce
contagion. Homoeopathic remedies are particularly helpful in
resistant and recurrent cases.
Antim. Crud. for impetigo of the nostrils and the corners of the
mouth.
Croton Tig. especially for impetigo of the scrotum.
Graphites when the oozing and the scabs are honey-coloured.
Hamamelis also for involvement of the scrotum.
Mezereum_ when the scalp is infected and thick crusts form.
Petroleum with cracks in the skin, especially behind the ears.

IMPOTENCE
Improving the general health by means of the best-indicated
homoeopathic remedy may be a valuable factor in dealing with
this trouble.
Agnus Castus ineffectual erection, with general debility and
often with absent-mindedness.
Conium erections not sustained; and associated symptoms in
the legs — cramps and coldness.
Graphites pains in the genitals, interrupting attempts at
intercourse; unhealthy skin.
Lycopodium when it is anticipated that performance will fail;
often with chronic dyspepsia.
Sepia for impotence associated with heaviness and dragging
sensations in the genitals.
Sulphur if there is much itching and redness of the skin in the
genital area, sometimes in association with alcoholism. 35
 INFLUENZA
The nosode, Influenzinum, is valuable for prophylaxis. The
constitutional remedy is valuable for delayed and slow con-
valescence. In the attack, the following remedies should be
remembered:
Aconite . in the first few hours of the illness.
Aesculus. when the first symptom is backache.
Baptisia for delirium and confusion.
Bryonia_ when there is chest pain and pleural involvement, as
in Bornholm disease.
Camphor_ when the stage of chill persists.
Eupatorium with pains in the bones.
Gelsemium with chills up and down the spine, and with heavy
eyelids.
Glonoine_ with throbbing headache.
Pyrogen when secondary bacterial infection develops.
Rhus Tox. with muscle pains and stiffness.
Veratrum Album _ in very severe cases, with delirium, copious
sweating, collapse and the rare ‘heliotrope’ cyanosis.

ITCHING
Agaricus with crawling sensations and sometimes associated
with chilblains.
Calc. Carb. better for scratching.
Dolichos very itchy skin but with nothing abnormal to see.
Graphites when the patient scratches till the skin bleeds.
Manganum worse when sweating.
Merc. Sol worse on getting warm.
Mezereum much itching with development of scabs.
Psorinum scratching to the point of bleeding.
Rhus Tox. with urticarial lumps and bumps.
Rumex worse on undressing.
Sulphur worse on getting warm.
Urtica with urticaria, due to many substances in addition to
nettles; for reactions to external irritants and to internal
allergens.

 JAUNDICE
A precise diagnosis is necessary — other treatment may be
essential. In addition, one of these remedies may be helpful:
Chelidonium when there is also gall bladder pain, referred to
the tip of the right scapula.
China Offic. for putty-coloured stools, flatulence and colic.
Crotalus may be helpful in haemolytic jaundice.
Hydrastis when the liver is palpably enlarged.
Mercurius with dull pains in the liver region and a nasty taste
in the mouth.
Nux Vomica for dyspepsia, jaundice, itching skin and
associated irritability.
Podophyllum if gall stones are present, causing obstruction
and colic.

KNEES, PAIN IN
When fractures and other conditions which need surgical and
other treatment have been excluded:
Apis for acute synovitis, worse for any form of heat.
Causticum when the knees cannot be fully extended, with
tightness in the hamstrings.
Chamomilla better, surprisingly, when the joint is fully exten-
ded.
Kali Carb. for dull pains in the knees due to overweight,
increasing the strain on the joints.
Ledum_ when caused by cold and damp; also after penetrating
injuries by stings and by needles. ,
Natrum Mur. for prepatellar bursitis — ‘housemaid’s knee’.
Rhus Tox. for synovial effusions, with much protective
stiffness of the surrounding muscles.

37
 LARYNGITIS
Laryngitis which persists for more than a few days needs
investigation. While waiting for the result or, more hopefully, to
assist recovery:
Antim. Crud. for laryngitis due to heat.
Apis with oedema of the uvula and dysphagia as well.
Arnica . after much shouting or other over-use of the voice.
Arum for laryngitis of singers, preachers and other public
speakers.
Barium Carb. for simple chronic laryngitis.
Carbo Veg. for weakness of voice in old people.
Hepar Sul. in the later stages of bronchitis with laryngitis,
when the cough has loosened but the hoarseness persists.
Lachesis for chronic laryngeal strain in very talkative people.
Phosphorus with irritating dryness of the throat and larynx,
and sometimes specks of blood with the phlegm.
Rhus Tox. the voice improves with continued talking.
Spongia laryngitis with an associated dry ‘barking’ cough.

LEUCORRHOEA
If there is reason to suspect that there is infection which may
have been acquired sexually, the disease is notifiable and should
receive conventional treatment. In other cases, homoeopathic
remedies should be considered, with special reference to con-
stitutional features.
Alumina with raised itchy spots in the vagina.
Borax when the discharge is clear, like egg-white.
Carbo An. if the discharge burns the skin and stains the
clothing yellow. ; ,
Kreasote yellow offensive discharge, causing itching and
burning.
Medorrhinum for symptoms remaining after treatment of
gonorrhoea. :
Pulsatilla when the discharge is mucoid, rather like nasal
mucus.
Sepia useful for prepubertal leucorrhoea, and also for cases in
adults when there is much dragging sensation in the pelvic
organs.

 LIMBS: FIDGETY, JERKY OR RESTLESS
Fidgeting can be embarrassing; jerking, especially just when the
patient is going to sleep, can be very annoying; and restlessness
is often a valuable pointer to the similimum.
Fidgeting Kali Bich., Phosphorus or Zincum.
Jerking when going to sleep Agaricus, Belladonna, Ignatia,
Kali Carb., Sepia.
Jerking as a result of sudden noise Borax, Carbo Veg., Opium.
General restlessness Arsenicum Album, Calc. Phos., Hyos-
cyamus, Pulsatilla, Stramonium, Tarentula.

LUMBAGO
Aconite as a result of exposure to draughts.
Arnica as a result of injury or when the muscles feel bruised.
Bellis Perennis worse after stooping in the open air, typically
after gardening.
Berberis worse on waking.
Bryonia | worse on any movement and markedly relieved by
staying still.
Dulcamara_ worse after much stooping and exposure to cold
and damp.
Nux Vomica after getting chilled.
Rhododendron worse when a storm is approaching.
Rhus Tox. when stiffness is a most marked feature and is
gradually relieved by continued gentle motion.

MEASLES
This is a less serious problem nowadays, but cases still occur,
and prompt treatment reduces the risk of complications.
Aconite in.the early stages when frequent cough prevents sleep.
Belladonna for the child with very red face, headache, sore
throat, before the sweating develops.
Bryonia_ when the rash is slow to appear.
Euphrasia_ if conjunctivitis is a prominent feature.
Kali Bich. when the cough produces stringy sputum and the
voice is hoarse.
Mercurius_ when excess catarrh persists.
Pulsatilla for the child who is very sorry for himself or herself,
with copious catarrh, and dislikes heavy bedclothes.
Sulphur _ if the rash is dusky and slow to clear.
The nosode, Morbillinum, is valuable for prophylaxis, and also
for sequelae of measles, when the patient has never been really
well since the infection. 39
 MEMORY, IMPAIRED
It would be rash to claim that homoeopathic treatment would
improve the memory, but the complaint of poor memory is a
valuable clue to selecting the remedy for other disorders.
Aethusa poor memory and poor concentration.
Anacardium tends to swear because of the frustration caused
by poor memory.
Barium Carb. absent-minded and inattentive.
Cocculus slow in remembering and easily distracted.
Lycopodium thinks his memory is worse than it really is.
Plumbum forgets words and is slow to grasp ideas.
Rhododendron thoughts disappear while they are being put
into words.
Sulphur poor memory, especially for names.

MENOPAUSE, DISORDERS OF
Aurum Met. hot flushes and melancholia.
Glonoine throbbing in the head, with flushing.
Graphites flushing, especially of the face, sometimes with
nose-bleeds and a tendency to put on weight.
Kali Carb. loss of appetite, regurgitations and backache.
Lachesis flushes, a sense of constriction round the neck,
talkative; all symptoms worse on waking.
Sepia hot sweats, backache, especially in the sacral area, with
sinking or dragging sensations.
Sulphuric Acid flushes worse in the evenings and after exer-
tion; general weariness.

 PHLEBITIS
The risk of fragments of thrombus breaking off and causing
embolism should always be remembered and guarded against.
In addition to such measures, one of these remedies may be
helpful:
Apis in the early stages, with pain, redness and swelling.
Arnica when the phlebitis is the result of known injury.
Fluoric Acid _ if there are hard ‘knots’ in the affected veins.
Hamamelis_ when the pain and tenderness is sufficient to cause
lameness.
Hepar Sul. for marked sensitivity - when the patient can
hardly bear any touching of the area.
Lachesis when there is a purple tinge of the affected area.
Vipera if there is a bursting sensation in the limb and if it is
much worse when allowed to hang down.

PLEURAL PAIN
This title is chosen so as to include pain with or without fever or
effusion — a broader collection of disorders — not just pleurisy in
the usual sense.
Belladonna in the early stages of acute febrile pleurisy.
Bryonia the remedy most often needed for sharp pleural pains,
better when lying still on the painful side.
Chelidonium when there is much coughing, with pain behind
the sternum, referred from the mediastinum.
Hepar Sul. useful in later stages, when recovery is slow, and ~
the chest is sensitive to cold air.
Natrum Sul. for pleural pain accompanied by dry cough,
worse at night, better sitting up and pressing on the painful
area.
Rumex when the pain is accompanied by tickling and raw
sensation in the trachea.
Sticta for the patient who starts coughing and finds it very
difficult to stop.

POLYPI, NASAL
Cadmium Sul. with a sense of tightness at the root of the nose.
Cale. Carb. with loss of sense of smell, and sometimes with
swelling of the upper lip.
Phosphorus the polypi bleed easily when the nose is blown.
Psorinum with chronic post-nasal drip, especially in patients
who tend to be chilly.
Pulsatilla with plentiful catarrh.
Thuja the remedy most often indicated for warts and other
kinds of lumps on the skin, as well as for nasal polypi. 47
 PREMENSTRUAL TENSION
Calc. Carb. tenderness of the breasts.
Causticum _ pessimistic and irritable.
Conium with sore breasts and cold legs.
Graphites distinct increase in weight.
Kreasote _ restless and irritable.
Lachesis when there is fluid retention and heaviness of the
breasts.
Lycopodium cross and melancholic.
Natrum Mur. also for fluid retention; irritable and sad.
Nux Vomica very irritable and quarrelsome.
Pulsatilla weepy and with painful breasts.
Sepia depressed, irritable and with reduced libido.

PROSTATE, ENLARGEMENT OF
Eventually, surgery may be needed, but homoeopathic remedies
may delay or even avoid the need for surgery.
Barium Carb. especially for thin under-weight persons, with
frequency and a slow stream.
Calc. Carb. for heavy, sluggish and apprehensive men, when
the prostate produces much mucus.
Conium when frequency is especially troublesome at night and
worse after any alcohol.
Iodum_ if the gland is hard — and arouses suspicion of car-
cinoma, needing investigation.
Pulsatilla with itching and oozing of mucus from the meatus.
Sabal_ when there are stinging pains on micturition, and the
bladder and urethra seem unduly irritable.

PRURITUS VULVAE
This tiresome, distressing and sometimes embarrassing com-
plaint may be due to infection, and then will need appropriate
conventional treatment. If there is no discharge:
Ambra __ itching worse at night.
Merc. Sol. much burning after scratching, and worse when
wetted by urine.
Nitric Acid with pricking like needles, worse while walking.
Petroleum with visible dermatitis of the vulva.
Platinum with voluptuous crawling sensations.
Rhus Tox. when there are small vesicles and these are
sometimes the manifestation of herpes.
48 Sepia in slim brunettes, especially during pregnancy.

 PSORIASIS
This is a constitutional disturbance of the skin, and needs a
careful assessment of the whole person. The family history as
well as the personal history are important.
Arsenicum Album see the Appendix on Constitutional
Remedies.
Cicuta Vir. thick crusts with much burning and itching.
Clematis when pustules form in or under the scaly patches.
Graphites with thick gummy exudate indicating infection.
Kali Ars. if the itching is worse in the warm, and especially if
there is more scaling than usual.
Petroleum when there is a history of use of ointments with a
paraffin base.
Psorinum when the skin never seems really clean.
Sulphur see the Appendix.

RHEUMATISM
This section concerns the muscles, not the joints.
Arnica worse after bruising and over-exertion.
Bryonia worse for movement, better for rest and pressure.
Causticum better in damp weather; when there is a tendency
to contracture, especially of the hamstrings.
Colchicum worse at night and in winter.
Dulcamara_ when caused by or aggravated by cold and damp.
Kali lod. when the muscle pains are tearing or darting.
Ledum for muscle pains after stings, puncture wounds and
injections.
Merc. Sol. worse at night and often with ‘sour’ sweat.
Pulsatilla for muscle pains which shift from place to place.
Rhus Tox. with much stiffness, especially of the hands and
fingers; worse on starting to move, but soon better on
continued movement.
Ruta for pains in tendons as well as in muscles.

49
 SACRAL AND SACRO-ILIAC PAIN
Appropriate movements, exercises and manipulations are
usually effective.
Aesculus sacro-iliac pain, worse when walking slowly or
standing.
Agaricus with sensations of bruising, pressure or weight.
Aloe sacral pains accompanying diarrhoea and piles.
Berberis pain referred from the rectum.
Rhus Tox. when the pain results in marked stiffness — almost
immobility.
Sepia with dragging sensations in the pelvis.
Sulphur when the pain extends to the groins.
Tellurium for pains shooting up from the sacrum and down to
the thighs.

SALIVATION
Excess or deficiency of saliva is obviously not a disease, but can
be a useful clue in helping to find the right remedy for other
disorders.
Excess
Allium after eating — paradoxical.
Ipecacuanha with nausea and gagging as a result of coughing.
Iris with migraine or similar headache.
Merce. Sol. with sore gums — worse at night.
Nitric Acid with mouth ulcers and prickings.
Veratrum Album with cold sweat and faintness.
Deficiency
Arsenicum Album when the mouth is dry with fear.
Barium Carb. with numbness as well as dryness.
Belladonna’ when the mouth is hot and dry.
Bryonia little saliva, but little thirst.
Capsicum with burning sensations and dryness.
Carbo Veg. when the tongue is rough as well as dry.
Hyoscyamus in low muttering delirium.
Natrum Sul. if the tongue looks and feels slimy but dry.
Nux Moschata_ when there is so little saliva that the tongue
sticks to the palate.
Silica if the mouth and tongue are dry in spite of a fair
amount of thin saliva.

Persistent or recurrent sinusitis, not responding well to other
treatments, is often improved by the well-indicated homoeo-
pathic remedy.
Agaricus. when sinusitis causes widespread headaches.
Belladonna when there is pain, especially in the frontal
sinuses, worse on stooping.
Graphites if blowing the nose leaves fairly prolonged pain.
Hepar Sul. when the catarrh is yellow and the face is hyper-
sensitive.

SKIN, CRACKS AND FISSURES IN

Alumina for the hard dry skin of old people, easily cracked —
especially the hands.
Calc. Carb. when the skin cracks in the winter.
Graphites _ for cracks in the nostrils, on the lips, behind the ears,
and of the nipples.
Nitric Acid when cracks bleed easily, and for cracks with crusts
forming on the edges of the nostrils.
Natrum Mur. especially for cracks in the centre of the lower lip.
Petroleum for cracks in the skin of the palms and behind the ears,
worse in winter.
Sarsaparilla for cracks in the skin of the feet, and of the hands,
fingers and thumbs, and at the corners of the mouth.
Sepia ‘the washerwoman’s remedy’ — for cracks resulting from
prolonged immersion in water.

 SLEEP, DISTURBANCES OF
Aconite very restless sleep, twisting and turning and undoing
the bedclothes.
Arnica ree to sleep because overtired, and the bed feels
hard.
Belladonna when the limbs jerk just as the patient is getting
off to sleep; also for nightmares.
Cale. Carb. for the child who cries or moans in sleep; also
when there is marked sweating of the head during sleep.
Coffea kept awake by continuing thoughts: ‘Can’t switch off’.
Ignatia yawns a lot but can’t get off to sleep.
Kali Carb. wakes about 3 a.m. and can’t get back to sleep.
Nux Vomica insomnia because of dyspepsia, eventually sleeps,
but wakes with a ‘hangover’ or something very like it.
Opium deep sleep lasting longer than normal, hard to rouse.
Phosphorus’ when there are frequent nightmares.
Sambucus’ wakes gasping for breath, as if suffocating.
Spigelia kept awake by palpitations, which are sometimes
strong enough to disturb the partner.
Sulphur needs an extra pillow to reduce a sense of congestion
in the head; the limbs get unpleasantly hot, and the patient
sticks them out of bed.

SMELL; SENSE OF SMELL DIMINISHED

It would be rash to claim that homoeopathic remedies can alone
restore the full sense of smell, but when catarrh is obviously a
factor in the problem, they are likely to be helpful.
Anacardium_ when there is nasal obstruction.
Cale. Carb. when polyps are present.
Hepar Sul. when there is yellow catarrh, a tendency to
sweating and an improvement in warm weather.
Influenzinum as a consequence of influenza.
Phosphorus with burning sensations and a tendency to
nosebleeds.
Pulsatilla when the amount of catarrh varies markedly from
hour to hour, and is better in the open air.
Sepia with dryness of the nasal passages.
Silica when there is associated sinusitis.

$3
 SPRAINS
Arnica for sprains involving the wrist or ankle, especially
when there is a haematoma.
Calc. Phos. for sprains of the carpus.
Rhus Tox. for sprains in rheumatic subjects, with much
stiffness and reluctance to move.
Ruta for most sprains — almost a specific.

STAMMERING
The essential treatment of stammering and stuttering is speech
therapy, to encourage good breathing and good phonation. But
homoeopathic remedies can be helpful as well.
Belladonna especially for children who talk too fast.
Causticum when stammering is accompanied by grimacing.
Merc. Sol. with tremors, especially of the tongue.
Nux Vomica for the patient who is ‘jumpy’ and irritable, and
tends to omit or transpose syllables as well as stammering.
Stramonium when there are exaggerated movements of the
limbs while talking.

STIFFNESS OF MUSCLES AND OF JOINTS

Apis for stiffness due to synovitis.
Arnica for stiffness after exertion and strenuous games.
Bryonia stiffness of elbows and knees, better when quite still.
Calc. Sul. when the stiffness is in the shoulders.
Causticum stiffness around the knees and ankles, with tight-
ness of the hamstrings, preventing full extension of the
knees.
Chelidonium when the legs are stiff, heavy and lame.
Ledum for stiffness due to cold and damp.
Rhus Tox. _ for stiffness which is worse on first movement,
improving during continued movement, especially in the
wrists, hands, fingers and thumbs.

 STROKES
The old name apoplexy is best avoided. The relatively new term,
CVA, cerebral vascular accident, is not really appropriate
because a stroke is not an accident, but a lesion. Hospitals are
often reluctant to admit patients with strokes until they have
survived the first forty-eight hours. Meanwhile, homoeopathy
can help.
Arnica often chosen because the cerebral lesion is similar to a
bruise, a haematoma.
Belladonna when the face is flushed and there is throbbing
headache.
Natrum Mur. when the face is pale and there is throbbing
headache.
Nux Vomica_ when the stroke occurs after a heavy meal or too
much alcoholic drink.
Opium when the patient is unconscious, breathing heavily, and
the face is dusky or cyanosed.
Sulphur for the heavy red-faced beer-drinking type.
Veratrum Album _ when the clinical picture is one of ‘collapse’
— shocked, sweating and cold.

STYES
Graphites when the styes produce much sticky honey-coloured
exudate, as occurs with impetigo.
Phosphorus. when there is twitching of the eyelids, and a burning
sensation in them.
Pulsatilla when the eyelids are stuck together on waking.
Staphisagria when there is frontal headache.
Staphylococcinum when infection with staphylococci is proved,
or suspected, and styes persist, this nosode can be expected to
stimulate the development of better resistance to the germs.
Thuja Hahnemann’s chief antipsoric remedy.

SUNSTROKE
This is a convenient term to include the ill-effects of over-
exposure to the sun, and also the ill-effects of other forms of
heat.
Aconite with fever, confusion and apparent stupidity.
Antim. Crud. after too much exertion in the sun.
Belladonna with throbbing headache, hot dry skin and dilated
pupils.
Cuprum Met. when much sweating has caused excess salt loss
and cramps.
Gelsemium with giddiness, as if intoxicated.
Glonoine with throbbing headache, flushed face and sweating.
Natrum Mur. when the patient is irritable and hates any fuss. 35
 SYNOVITIS
Effusion into a joint often causes some instability. This applies
especially to the knee, and it is usually wise to support the
knee with a crépe type of bandage.
Apis in the early stages, when the joint is painful, hot and
swollen.
Arnica ’ when there is evidence or suspicion of bleeding into the
joint.
Belladonna’ when the pain is eased by hot applications.
Bryonia_ especially for synovitis of small joints.
Causticum for subacute or chronic synovitis, with associated
weakness of the joint.
Colchicum for acute synovitis, especially of the legs, with hot
tearing pains, like gout.
Pulsatilla for hot swellings, especially of theelbow and of the
knee, with the swelling visible above the patella.
Rhus Tox. for effusion and stiffness of the surrounding
muscles.
Ruta for traumatic synovitis associated with sprains.

TEETHING TROUBLES
Actea when nervous and restless during teething.
Borax for teething complicated by aphthous or ulcerative
stomatitis; and when there is dislike of downward motion,
when being put into the cot.
Calc. Carb. when teething is late, and associated with diar-
rhoea and green stools.
Calc. Phos. for babies who are late in teething, late in sitting
up and late in walking.
Chamomilla fretful and angry — yells till picked up and is
quiet until put back in the cot.
Kreasote when the teeth have poor enamel which begins to
decay soon after eruption.
Merc. Sol. when there is excess salivation during teething,
sore gums and diarrhoea.

 TEMPERAMENT AND MOOD
The constitutional temperament and the mood of the moment
can be useful guides to the correct remedy for psychological
disturbances and for many disorders with a predominantly
somatic manifestation. Homoeopathic remedies are often
valuable alternatives to conventional tranquillisers, anti-
depressives and anxiolytics.
This list shows only one remedy for each temperament or
mood, leaving room for the reader to make additions as
required.
Angry Chamomilla. Impatient Sulphur.
Apathetic Phosphoric Acid. Indifferent Sepia.
Company wanted Phosphorus. Irritable Nux Vomica.
Company shunned Natrum Lamenting Lycopodium.
Mur. Lazy Calc. Carb.
Complacent Arnica. Obstinate Tub. Bov.
Confused Baptisia. Quarrelsome Petroleum.
Despairing Aurum. Raging Hyoscyamus.
Excitable Belladonna. Resentful Staphisagria.
Frightened Aconite. Restless Arsenicum Album.
Haughty Platinum. Sad Stannum.
Humble Pulsatilla. Taciturn Silica.
Hurried Lilium Tig. Talkative Lachesis.
Hysterical I[gnatia.

TESTES, DISORDERS OF
Arnica after injury and bruising.
Aurum Met. chronic neuralgic pain, causing depression.
Belladonna acute ‘intolerable’ pain.
Clematis persistent chronic pains extending to the groins and
~ the thighs.
Hamamelis_ when the testes are very sensitive, and when the
skin of the scrotum is disordered.
Pulsatilla acute pain with much swelling, as in mumps.
Rhododendron aching in the testes, worse before thunder-
storms.
Spongia persistent aching due to much coughing.

x
 THIRST, ABNORMAL
When diabetes (mellitus or insipidus) have been excluded,
consider:
Arsenicum Album wants to drink little and often.
Belladonna when the mouth is hot, dry and red.
Bryonia - for thirst for large quantities.
Dulcamara_ wants hot drinks, but they are vomited.
Phosphorus thirsty for cold drinks, which are soon vomited.
Stramonium wants sour drinks such as lemon juice.
Sulphur is thirsty but not hungry.

THRUSH (APHTHOUS STOMATITIS)

Antim. Tart. for children, especially when they vomit milk.
Arsenicum Album marasmic cases, with ulcers and prostration
and low fever, especially if there is simultaneous vomiting
and diarrhoea.
Borax for simple stomatitis, with established ulcers — the
old-fashioned Borax in Glycerine was unwitting, or un-
acknowledged, homoeopathy.
Capsicum with hot sensations in the mouth, made worse by
cold water.
Kali Chlor. with salivation and tenderness of the salivary
glands.
Merce. Sol. with salivation and slimy diarrhoea.
Natrum Mur. with herpetic vesicles on the lips.

TINNITUS
Noises in the head or in the ears of a purely subjective origin
are usually resistant to treatment, and it is rash to hold out
hopes of a cure. Sometimes the well-chosen remedy can bring
some relief:
China Offic. for tinnitus associated with deafness, and
sometimes with headache and vertigo.
Graphites for tinnitus associated with the so-called ‘boiler-
maker’s deafness’ — when the hearing is better in a noise.
Lachesis when the noises are most pronounced on waking.
Petroleum for noises of a whizzing nature, as of a breeze.
Phosphoric Acid for tinnitus associated with debility, weak-
ness and vertigo.
Pulsatilla when the noises are worse when there is upper
respiratory catarrh.
Spigelia for tinnitus with neuralgic pains in the ears, inter-
mittent rather than continuous.
58 Sulphur when the noises are worse at night.

 TONGUE, DISORDERS OF
The tongue is abnormal in many diseases — in some anaemias
and as a result of various infections. The possibility of
malignant changes must be remembered.
Aconite tingling or numb.
Antim. Crud. lumpy and tender — in old people who do not feel
the cold.
Apis swollen and redder than usual — often associated with
oedema of the uvula.
Arsenicum Album with a sore red tip.
Arum cracked and bleeding.
Belladonna dry and reddened.
Bryonia_ dry and pale, even nearly white.
Cantharis scalded or burned.
Hydrastis burned, raw and with prominent taste buds.
Merc. Sol. swollen, slimy or moist, and indented by the teeth.
Natrum Mur. patterned — sometimes called ‘geographical’.
Rhus Tox. with a sore red tip — especially if there is pain,
stiffness and cracking in the jaw joints.

TONSILLITIS
Acute attacks of tonsillitis may need antibiotics. Chronic or
recurrent tonsillitis usually responds well to homoeopathy.
Barium Carb. for undersized children with recurrent attacks.
Cale. Carb. for fat chilly children with a tendency to persistent
enlargement of the cervical glands.
Hepar Sul. with much inflammation and yellow exudate, when
the soreness is better for warm drinks.
Lachesis with marked dislike of anything touching the throat,
causing a sense of constriction.
Lycopodium also with a sense of constriction and when the
symptoms are worse about 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Merc. Sol. when there is marked sweating, bad breath and
extra salivation.
Nitric Acid with much exudate and with pricking sensations.
Phytolacca when the neck is swollen and tender as well as the
tonsils — the so-called “bull neck’.
Sulphur when the tonsils remain large in between attacks,
almost touching in the midline; for children who are
noticeably ‘warm blooded’, in contrast to those who need
Calc. Carb.

59
 TOOTHACHE
Apis with swelling of the gums.
Bryonia_ when the teeth feel too long.
Cale. Carb. pain worse for cold air or cold drinks.
Calc. Fluor. when the dental enamel is deficient.
Chamomilla_ worse when in bed.
Coffea better for cold water.
Kali Carb. worse when eating.
Mag. Phos. neuralgic pains like little electric shocks.
Plantago when the teeth are sensitive to touch and cold air.
Pulsatilla worse for warm drinks, better in the open air. -
Staphisagria when the teeth are blackened and crumbling.
~ Obviously, any homoeopathic first aid should be followed by a
visit to the dentist.

TRACHEITIS
Apis with a sensation of swelling in the trachea.
Arsenicum Album dry, burning and irritating, as if constricted.
Bryonia_ worse for talking, smoking and in warm rooms.
Calc. Carb dry tracheitis, worse in the evening and when
speaking.
Cannabis Sativa worse in the morning, with sticky mucus.
Capsicum crawling and tickling in the trachea causing
sneezing as well as coughing.
Carbo Veg. worse in the evening.
Causticum tearing sensations on coughing.
Kali Bich. irritation in the nose, larynx and trachea, with
stringy mucus.
Lachesis worse after sleep and when touched.
Nux Vomica _ tickling, worse when exhaling.
Phosphorus cough, hawking and rawness, worse in the evening
and after cold drinks.
Rumex soreness worse in cold air.
Silica - mucus coughed up, especially soon after meals.
Stannum_ sweetish yellow mucus coughed up.
Sulphur constant irritation, worse at night.

 TRAVEL SICKNESS
This can sometimes be incapacitating, and even dangerous;
homoeopathic remedies can control and cure it without causing
the drowsiness which is often a side effect of conventional
treatment.
Aconite with restlessness and fear of accident or disaster.
Apomorphine when vomiting occurs with little or no warning.
Borax for nausea which is worse during downward movement,
as in aircraft, and also in lifts.
Cocculus almost a specific for travel sickness, especially when
there is vertigo and a sense of emptiness in the head.
Petroleum when nausea is accompanied with eructations of
wind from the stomach.
Tabacum with cold sweat and prostration.

TREMORS
Actea_ tremors of the legs, making walking difficult.
Agaricus rhythmic spasms of groups of muscles, especially of
the neck.
Antim. Tart. tremors of the limbs with coldness of the hands
and feet.
Gelsemium tremors of the whole body, with hot and cold
shivers up and down the spine.
Ignatia tremors combined with gross jerking movements.
Merc. Sol. tremors of the fingers and of the tongue, with
stammering.
Stramonium tremors persisting after a fright, with writhing
movements as well.

ULCERS
This section refers to ulcers of the skin only.
Arsenicum Album with burning pains, better for warmth.
Belladonna when the surrounding skin is very red and hot.
Hamamelis for ulcers associated with varicose veins.
Kali Bich. when ulcers have a ‘punched out’ look, with
clear-cut edges.
Lachesis for ulcers with a purple tinge around them.
Merc. Sol. when there is much oozing of pus and serum.
Mezereum when scabs form too readily and pus collects under
the scabs.
Nitric Acid for ulcers which bleed easily, and when there are
sharp pains like splinters.
Phosphorus for ulcers which bleed easily.
Silica when ulcers are slow to develop and slow to heal. 61
 URETHRAL SYNDROME
This section concerns pain on passing urine in the absence of
any infection in the bladder, and felt most in the urethra.
Arsenicum Album burning pain causing agitation — unable to
keep still because of the pain.
Camphor most pain at the beginning of micturition, due to
tenesmus at the neck of the bladder.
Clematis when the urine passes slowly and intermittently, in
men more often than in women.
Phosphorus when urine is passed in small quantities and
sometimes with specks of blood.
Sepia for women more often than for men, and especially for
pain due to caruncle.
Silica when there is urethral stricture.
Terebinth especially for children when spasms of pain occur
just before the urine begins to pass.

URINATION, DISORDERS OF
Apis burning stinging pain while passing urine, which is
scanty and concentrated.
Berberis when there is mucus in the urine, either as a floating
film or as a sediment.
Cantharis scalding pain and frequency.
Causticum for frequency in old people, day and night.
Conium intermittent flow.
Kali Carb. slow starting, due to prostatic enlargement —
helpful while waiting if operation is necessary.
Lilium Tig. frequent urging and with dragging sensations.
Nux Vomica for the irritable bladder, in irritable people,
resulting in frequency which may be exaggerated.
Petroselinum sudden urging — any delay causes agony.

 URINE, INCONTINENCE OF
This problem occurs mostly in childhood, but also at other ages.

concentrated.
Causticum in old people, who hardly feel the urine passing.

Phosphoric Acid as a result of coughing — more in the day
than at night.
Pulsatilla during pregnancy, often while walking.
Sulphur with burning sensations in the urethra.

URINE, RETENTION OF
Homoeopathic remedies are helpful as first aid, but a surgical
opinion will be needed if the trouble persists or recurs.
Apis when there is oedema of the pas obstructing the
urethra.
Arnica for retention of urine after injury.
Causticum for retention after surgical operation for any
abdominal trouble.
Natrum Mur. for the patient who cannot pass urine in the
presence of anyone. :

the bladder.
Tarentula_ when the patient cannot sit still and relax and allow
the urine to flow.

63
 URTICARIA

on the face, or by Urtica if the lesions are on the limbs.
Apis burning and stinging, especially with oedema of the
eyelids and the lips.

sation.

 VARICOSE VEINS
In addition to support stockings, adequate rest and elevation,
and other measures, think of these remedies:
Arnica’ when the veins have been bruised or feel bruised.
Calc. Carb. when the patient is over-weight, chiily, subject to
cramps in the calves and feet.
Carbo Veg. when the peripheral circulation is sluggish, even to
the extent of cyanosis.
Fluoric Acid one of the principal remedies for varicose veins,
especially if they are tender and ‘knotty’.
Hamamelis for varicose veins associated with haemorrhoids.
Pulsatilla particularly useful during pregnancy, when some
degree of pelvic pressure impedes the venous circulation.

VERTIGO
This section refers to true vertigo with a rotatory sensation, not
to mere faintness.
Belladonna worse when turning in bed.
Borax with fear of downward movement.
Bryonia_ with vomiting — better keeping still.
Cale. Carb. worse when looking up.
China Offic. with tinnitus and debility.
Cocculus for vertigo associated with travel sickness.
Conium worse when lying down.
Gelsemium with trembling.
Kali Carb. better in the open air.
Natrum Mur. with headache.
Nux Vomica with nausea.
Pulsatilla with catarrh.

65
 VOMITING
This is a symptom of many different causes, and if it persists
an
accurate diagnosis must be made. As first aid and while waiting
for investigations:
Aethusa_ when babies or children cannot digest milk without
vomiting — different from mere regurgitation.
Antim. Tart. with much rattling bronchial catarrh which is
swallowed and then vomited.
Arsenicum Album for simultaneous vomiting and diarrhoea.
Cuprum Met. when vomiting is accompanied by spasms and
cramps in the abdominal muscles.
Ipecacuanha when nausea persists after vomiting, especially
during pregnancy.
Iris for watery vomiting accompanying migraine.
Nux Vomica if vomiting occurs two or three hours after
meals.
Pulsatilla after rich and fatty foods.
Sulphur with hot sensations in the chest — retrosternal.

Another helpful approach to the problem of selecting the

remedy can be based on the following sections:
Due to Anger Chamomilla, Colocynth, Nux Vomica.
Due to Cough Aluminium, Antim. Tart., Bryonia, Drosera,
Hepar Sul., Ipecacuanha, Kali Carb. ,
With or alternating with Diarrhoea Argentum Nit., Arseni-
cum Album, Veratrum Album.
After any Drink Antim. Crud., Arsenicum Album, Bryonia,
Phosphorus, Tabacum, Veratrum Album.
After only a little Food China Offic., Ipecacuanha, Phos-
phorus, Sepia, Silica, Sulphur.
With Headache Ipecacuanha, Melilotus, Pulsatilla, San-
guinaria.
During Pregnancy Asarum, Chelidonium, Ignatia, Kreasote,
Lactic Acid, Natrum Sul.
Due to Travelling Bryonia, Cocculus Indicus, Petroleum,
Tabacum.

 WARTS (VERRUCAS)
Calc. Carb. multiple warts, horny and itchy.
Causticum multiple warts, especially on the face and on the
eyelids.
Dulcamara large smooth fleshy warts.
Kali Mur. warts on the hands.
Natrum Carb. warts which become macerated and ulcerated.
Natrum Mur. warts on the palms.
Nitric Acid ‘cauliflower’ warts which itch, prick and bleed
easily.
Sepia large hard pigmented warts.
Sulphur hard painful warts.
Thuja the most useful remedy for warts in general, almost a
specific.

WHITLOW
Infections around the finger nails can lead to some deformity if
they are neglected. In addition to the usual nursing procedures
and surgical measures, and antibiotics if necessary, one of the
following remedies will be valuable treatment:
Belladonna’ when the finger is very hot and throbbing.
Fluoric Acid if there is a sensation as of a splinter under the
nail.
Hepar Sul. with much throbbing, worse at night and better for
holding the hand up.
Lachesis if there is a blue or purple tinge surrounding the
infection.
Silica when the infection is relatively slow in developing.

67
 WHOOPING COUGH
Antim. Tart. when there is much catarrh, causing ‘rattling’
sounds in the chest.
Arnica when the child cries out because of the pain of
coughing.
Coccus. Cacti when the sputum is stringy, hanging from the
mouth in lengths.
Cuprum Met. when there are cramps and even convulsions, as
happens sometimes in babies.
Drosera when the cough is worse after midnight.
Hepar Sul. when the paroxysms of coughing are brought on by
draughts.
Ipecacuanha_ when gagging and vomiting follows the coughing.
Kali Carb. when the patient is left exhausted by the cough.
Spongia when the cough sounds rather like a dog barking.
In addition, the nosode, Pertussin, is valuable as prophylaxis
and also for sequelae, if convalescence is slow.

WOUNDS AND OTHER INJURIES

Arnica for bruises.
Calendula for abrasions and grazes, to encourage the regrowth
of the epithelium.
Cantharis for burns and scalds.
Hepar Sul. for wounds and injuries which develop infection.
Hypericum for crush injuries involving damage to nerves,
especially of the fingers and toes.
Ledum for puncture wounds — insect stings, needle pricks and
stab wounds by wood, metal or other substances.
Rhus Tox. for muscle injuries causing much stiffness.
Staphisagria for pain persisting in surgical wounds.
Symphytum for encouraging union of fractures.

APPENDIX - OUTLINE DESCRIPTIONS OF
THE MOST IMPORTANT
CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDIES
Dr Marion Gray, BM, BCh, MRCGP, MFHom

This Appendix is provided to enable the reader to identify

certain salient characteristics of a patient’s total personality,
or ‘constitution’. This comprises a combination of the
physical type, the psychological features, and the reactions
to the environment and events.
The personality patterns and the diseases to which they
are prone are described under the name of the remedies. It
is commonplace in homoeopathy for a patient to be
described by the constitutional remedy which most closely
suits his or her personality (e.g. a ‘Sulphur type’, or a ‘Sepia
type’).
Each remedy on the following pages is described in a
standard form for ease of reference. First there is a general
description of the personality, then a few of the more
important modalities (factors which make the condition
better or worse). This is followed by typical likes and
dislikes of food and drink. Finally, there is a list of the
clinical diagnoses indicating the main range of action,
provided the complete personality picture conforms.
In general, the constitutional remedies should be used for
chronic or recurring diseases. It may happen, for example,
that Belladonna is successfully prescribed for a single case
of acute otitis media. However, if the child suffers from
several episodes of this infection, a constitutional remedy
should be sought to prevent further trouble.
It should be stressed that only the most basic information
has been provided here to suggest the most likely remedy. It
may well be necessary to confirm the choice by reference to
a detailed textbook of homoeopathic materia medica.

What can homoeopathy offer to deal with stubborn
infections, or to speed convalescence? Which are the
most effective medicines for allergies and
hypersensitivities? How can one reduce the pain of
injuries and assist their healing?... What alternatives can
be prescribed in place of antibiotics, or tranquillisers, or
steroids? What supplementary help can the homoeopath
bring when conventional treatment must be given?...How
may strange, rare and peculiar symptoms be used as
guides? What are the main characteristics of physique
and personality that lead to the selection of the
constitutional remedy? And how does one decide the best
potency and dosage of any remedy?
This book is written for all who use homoeopathic
remedies. Clear indications are given wherever it is
important that the lay person should also obtain
professional medical advice, so that potentially serious
conditions are given the necessary supervision without
delay.
One hundred and sixty-one common complaints and
disorders are covered in the book, arranged alphabetically
for easy access. A selection of suitable remedies are then
listed, together with details of the particular symptoms
and signs that enable the prescriber to differentiate
between each of them. There is an Appendix by Dr
Marion Gray which lists the main indications for the
constitutional remedies.. The book is printed with
interleaved blank pages, so that the reader can amplify
the text on the basis of his or her own personal
experience and study.

Dr Noel Pratt studied at University College Hospi__

London, and served during the War as a medical =>
in the RAF. He entered general practice in NorwiSS
1948, and retired from the National Health Servi SS
1978. il
