ALOE

(aloe)
(Socotrine Aloes) An excellent remedy to aid in re-establishing physiological equilibrium after
much dosing, where disease and drug symptoms are much mixed. There is no remedy richer in
symptoms of portal congestion and none that has given better clinical results, both for the
primary pathological condition and secondary phenomena. Bad effects from sedentary life or
habits. Especially suitable to lymphatic and hypochondriacal patients. The rectal symptoms
usually determine the choice. Adapted to weary people, the aged, and phlegmatic, old beer-
drinkers. Dissatisfied and angry about himself, alternating with lumbago. Heat internally and
externally. Has been used successfully in the treatment of consumption by giving the pure juice.

Introduction:This a very valuable remedy should be more frequently used. It is indicated in such
conditions as are cured by Bryonia and Rhus tox., but its symptoms mark out its own individual
cases.

Rheumatic conditions with heart irritation; epistaxis; bloody urine; anxiety and trembling, when
there has been a history of diarrhoea. A suddenly checked diarrhoea will be followed by violent
cardiac symptoms; it is much like Ledum, Aurum and Kalmia.

Marasmus: In marasmus of children it is a very useful remedy and not unfrequently indicated.
The emaciation begins in the lower limbs and gradually spreads upward, so that the face is the
last affected; that is the opposite of Lycopodium, Natrum mur. and Psorinum.

Chest: It has cured pleurisy after Bryonia, which seemed indicated, had failed. A woman lying
in bed with dyspnoea, anxiety, cold sweat and pain in the heart was surrounded by friends to see
her die.

It was learned that she had suffered for many months with a rheumatism in one knee, that she
had used crutches to get about the house, and that she had recently been speedily cured (?) by a
strong liniment only a few days before this attack. Abrot. restored her to health promptly.

It has caused and cured burning ulcerative pains in the stomach with suspicious vomiting.

Metastasis: Metastasis is a marked feature in Abrot. The changing of one so called disease into
another always calls attention to Abrotanum. Inflammation of the parotid (mumps) changing to
tests or mammae is generally cured by Carbo v. or Pulsatilla, but Abrot, has cured when these
remedies have failed.

Suppression: A suddenly checked diarrhea followed by piles and acute rheumatism, with
bleedings, as mentioned above, is further argument in favor of this idea.

The Abrot. patient is sensitive to cold air and cold damp weather. He suffers much from
backaches, and his symptoms are worse during the night.

In boys it cures hydrocele.

In infants it cures bleeding from the navel

Mind: Mind.- (Abrotanum)

Anxious, depressed.

Child cross, depressed, very peevish.
