Kalium remedies represent a large and important class in homeopathy.
They have some general characteristics of the entire class and specific
features for every one of them.
Among the common characteristics:
• There is a tendency to weakness, either general (lassitude, fatigue,
lack of energy) or local (paresis or paralysis, weakness of heart or
respiration). A general symptom is that patient in need for a Kalium salt
wake up in the morning more tired as they are when going to sleep.
• Paresis of Kaliums may be located and manifest (as in facial paresis a
frigore, or in vocal chords paresis of Kal-i) or discrete, showing themselves
only on careful inspection (as happens in the deviation of tongue, similar to
Caust.)
• When walking, in some typical Kalium cases, the hands do not make
the alternative normal movements, but hang along the body in an awkward
expression of no energy.
• All Kaliums have a tendency to produce secretions on upper and/or
lower respiratory tract, aggravated when secretions are retained (as in
sinusitis) and all feel better when secretions flow out, either externally or
internally on the posterior wall of pharynx. A characteristic symptom is the
sensation of pressure at the root of nose, on eyebrows and in facial sinuses.
• Secretions and discharges of Kaliums are extremely variable, from
aqueous to thick and adherent, from transparent to opaque and foul and
sometimes might be indicator of the second root (e.g. the glues secretions
of Kal-bi, or the orange secretions of Kal-m). (we tried to depict the most
frequent colors of Kaliums in the picture)
• All Kaliums have a tendency towards ulcerations, aphthae and
mucosal lesions but the way they do them is different: from deep round
ulcerations of Kal-bi and Kal-i, to superficial and bleeding in Kal-c and Kal-
ph.

• In adulthood mainly (but sometimes in children too) have a tendency
towards infiltration (even edema) of tissues, infiltration of hands and feet. A
characteristic sign is the infiltration of upper eyelid that covers the exterior margin of
the eye. This infiltration may be present in both round constitutions (like Kal-c, Kal-s,
Kal-bi) or thin constitutions (Kal-I, Kal-ph, Kal-sil or Kal-m);
• In many adult cases the skin is infiltrated in depth but the superficial layer is
very thin, dehydrated, parchment-like, making folds and wrinkles. The cutaneous
fold provoked by the examiner, last long time, as a sign of lack of tonicity;
• All Kaliums might have difficult digestion with a sense of abdominal fullness,
especially in the upper part (for Kal-c, Kal-s, Kal-bi). All may have morning diarrhea
on awakening but this symptom is more prominent in Kal-s, Kal-c, Kal-bi.;
• All Kalium remedies may manifest cardiac symptoms and troubles of rhythm
and conduction. Just remember that hyperkaliemia provokes bradycardia, and
hypokaliemia provokes tachycardia. A sense of cardiac weakness described in
different ways (~as if the heart is suspended~ or ~ as if the heart is too heavy~) is
often present;
• There is a general aggravation of all symptoms during night. The specific
~Kalium hours~ are 3-5 A.M but according to the second root these hours may move
sooner (e.g. Kal-ars) or later (Kal-sul). One strong indicator may be the asthmatic
night crises, around 3 AM that oblige the patient to wake up and breathe in a sitting
position with hands fixed on the thighs, supporting the respiratory motions of
thorax;
There are more categories of typical Kalium pains:
• Nocturnal pains and crises aggravated on Kalium hours
• Migratory, erratic pains changing their place in minutes, hours or days,
without a precise pattern or order
• Pains as a burning nail or as large as a fingertip in different parts (e.g. in
epicondylitis, both external or internal, where Kalium remedies have great
indication)
• Pains along nerves, as large as a band or narrow as a line on the whole nerve
trajectory or just on a part of it (e.g. femuro-crural pains of some centimeters)
• Paradoxical sensation of pains (mostly burning) accompanied by local
numbness, paresthesia, or even anesthesia when the area is touched
• Pains along long bones, mostly at night. Particularly to Kal-I are pains in the
knee joints often irradiating in tibia.
Kalium complexity may be defined taken into account their own:
• affinities (respiratory, discharges, digestive, neurological)
• pathologies (e.g. tendency to make ulcers or paresis)
• symptoms (e.g. discharges, weakness, types of pains etc.),
• signs (e.g. swelling eyelids)
• modalities (e.g. aggravation night, , after changes)
• causalities (e.g. after long exertions, convalescence, consumptive diseases)
When it is about to decide «what kind of Kalium is to be prescribed»? We must

take two basic notions:
• The constitution behind Kalium complexity. In this way we may speak of a
Kalium decompensation or of Kalium complementarity of that constitution (that
means one must know a bit the elementary signs of basic constitutions: why to
prescribe Kal-sul to a patient with clear Phosphoric constitution?
• The modalities. If some of them are very strong (e.g. fear night, 1-3 AM for
Kal-ars.) and go on in a coherent configuration (need to clean up everything, for the
same) we may have the remedy even if the general constitution we judge to be
different.

A deep acting and destructive remedy.
As general constitution, prone rather to round and overweight
persons, warm and sensitive to environment (cold, warm,
stress, changes).
One of its most used indication is sinusitis or any other
respiratory disease with a lot of glue like mucus and retention
of it in cavities with intensive pains and sensation of fullness
in all head. The mucus is often thick, yellowish or greenish
and difficult to expel. When expelled it might be irritative on
nostril. The secretions may be viscous and elastic hanging
down like ropes when trying to discharge them.
A great characteristic are deep round ulcerations with like cut
round edges, painful at slightest touch (of food if there are
aphthae) and burning sensation.
Ulcers in different parts of mucosae: mouth, stomach,
intestines but on skin as well with the same characteristic: a
drop of Kal-bi a very caustic raw substance penetrate the skin
to the bones.
Gastroesophageal reflux and ulcerations, with burning
sensation and great inflation of stomach. Anecdotally a remedy
for great beer drinkers and ~BeerBauch~.
Migraines with burning migratory pains and severe
photophobia.

sensitive respiratory system
ameliorated sitting
as if everything is transformed in gas
punctual, linear,
burning, nocturnal

Besides the general characteristic of all Kalium family in
this remedy some features of Arenicum may be recognized:
- anxiety (mostly nocturnal, between 1-3 AM)
- need for order and fastidiousness
- burning pains both internally and externally with or

without chilliness
- sunken eyes and edema both of the upper and lower

eyelids
- a grayish discoloration of skin and face
- very dry skin desquamating in scales

Is a complementary of all muriatic family
in Kalium like disorders, e.g. in sinusitis or
otitis (with characteristic yellowish-orange
discharges) in convalescence or chronic
sufferings.

a Kalium situation and
symptoms on a Nitric constitution

Prone to all Sulphur constitutions in
Kalium situations

From all serpents Naja has the greatest
tropism for nervous system, producing spasms
on all levels.
Spasm of heart, brain or peripheral arteries,
with an intense sensation of constriction and
pain in the whole chest irradiating in arms,
anxiety and fear of death . Angina pectoris a
frigore. All symptoms are in a way or another
associated or related with heart. Sensation as
if the chest is stabbed from anterior part to
back .
Respiratory spasms with suffocation,
extremely dry cough and nose, a sensation of a
lump in the throat and a characteristic
aggravation when lie on left side often
accompanying cardiac troubles.
Diverse neuralgia like pains: head, ovaries,
face, arms.

Crotalus

Crotalus
Crotalus is one the most bleeding
remedies with dark blood but no formation
of clots because of hypocoagulation.
Bleeding at slightest touch; dark,
bluish patches on skin.
Sudden hemorrhage in retina with
intense photophobia, and troubles of
vision. Epistaxis, bleeding stools with
dark red and stringy blood, hematemesis
in coffee grounds, profuse dark
menorrhagia, dark blood in urine.

Vipera

Vipera has a special tropism for both deep and
superficial inflammation of veins
constriction

There are several remedies prepared from various milks but the most
known and certified one is Lac caninum.
Although the legends say it has many fears (fear of snakes, insects, animals
in general, of incurable diseases), lack of self-esteem (“thinks himself of little
consequence”), and vision of snakes, couldn’t check them.
What I did check is the strong importance given to direct family relations; the
sensitiveness for mother, father, children -problems that may become causes
for their own ailments.
One of my women patients came with recurrent sore throats (always unilateral, alternating sides,
radiating to ear), and menstrual disorders (cycles too long alternating with cycles too short), sore
congested breasts, with high prolactinemia. She told me all this began when she was concerned with her
son’s recurrent respiratory infections in the same period a cancer in her father was discovered. When
spontaneously speaking she alternates sentences about her son and her father, jumped from one item to
another and told me “I am much more concerned about them than myself”. On inspection, the throat was
slightly bluish congested at the pillars. Lac caninum 200 CH solved her ailments (including prolactinemia
that low spectacularly) and relieved the sensation of being trapped, eventually she found ways for both
her beloved.
What is for sure are modalities (pain migrating or alternating from one
side to the other) and its tropism for throat, breast and some musculoskeletal
disorders.
The throat is characteristic in aspect and modalities: difficult swallowing,
bluish-red, with white pearly aspect of deposit (or like porcelain), pain
radiating to the ears and alternating side. It is present in acute throat
inflammation but the bluish margins of tonsils may be a constitutional sign.
Breasts are an important location: swollen, painful, before menses or during
lactation (mastitis). Sometimes long lasting galactorrhea accompanied with
amenorrhea (prolactinemia) or by profuse, too early menstruations in gushes.
All pains in joints or neuralgias (sciatica, facial, intercostal) move from one
side to another in short intervals.

The first mention of intoxication with chickpea (or grasspea)
improperly cooked goes back to Hippocrates and ancient
India. The Spanish painter Francisco de Goya has a famous
aquatint Gracias a la Almorta (Thanks to Grasspea) that
depicts the consequences of the intoxication, grasspea being
used in time of civil war famine. Lathyrism affects pyramidal
tracts and produce signs of upper neuron damage.
It is a great remedy for neurologic disorders as Paresis

Spastica, MS and others affecting pyramidal system.
Characteristics as a homeopathic remedy are paresis

and paralysis of lower limbs with no pain, accompanied
by emaciation of gluteal muscles and by hypertrophy of
calves, gastrocnemius muscle that looks tense and hard.
A great keynote is ~the knees knock each other when

walking~, knees are bent and heels do not touch the
floor.

The main modality of Ledum is “
” for all local complaints, and aggravation by
heat.
It is the first remedy to think of in (bees, ants, but

spiders too), with local inflammation, burning and itch, ameliorated
by very cold water or ice.
with amelioration by icy

applications (reverse of Colchicum) In time, formation of gouty tophi,
with cystic masses under skin.
The are characteristic: on a red inflamed basis
(sometimes bluish), a central vesicle that may transform easily into a
pustule. At the margin of the erythema, sometimes small itching
vesicles may be observed.
In some acute or recurrent forms of urticaria with separate
elements and the characteristic aspect “ ”.

Lilium tigrinum is mostly a feminine remedy with a predominant period pre- or
post-menopause, characterized by strong polarities and alternating mental states
and pathologies.
Such a polarity is between strong sexual desires and strong religious convictions,
with moral and emotional conflicts. Frequent flushes of heat, peevish and irritable
mood alternating with depression; erotic dreams and desires badly handled because
of internalized moral convictions, with a strong feeling of guilt
Alternation between genital and
heart or head complaints. Bearing
down ameliorated by crossing legs
(Sep. Murex) or keeping the hands on
pelvis with tendency to Pelvic
inflammatory syndrome or myomas.
Constriction and palpitations of

heart (radiating often to the left arm)
, concomitant or alternating with
urinary incontinence or genital
symptoms.
Always aggravated by warmth

(“faintness in warm room”) by
menopause, nervous excitement, or
coition.
Pains in small spots (Oxalicum

acidum, Kaliums) or small joints, with
restlessness feet and burning in soles
and palms.

Luffa was relatively a late introduction in our
MM, but it was mentioned by Allen TF in his
Encyclopedia.
In my experience it has one main indication:
allergic or vasomotor rhinitis along the
whole year, with little indicative etiology.
Sneezing, the nose is running white, watery
discharges alternating with obstructions.
Difficult respiration and pressure feeling in
sinuses. Nothing is dramatic and the
antihistamine drugs have no effect.
On inspection, the nasal mucosa is congested,
red, like a sponge. Goes well with muriaticum,
Phosphorus and Silicea constitutions.

Lycopodium is a remedy prescribed mostly on mind, constitution and modalities,
although it has some well confirmed symptoms.
Mentally it has a characteristic polarity: in certain environments (e.g. at home, or

where he is in charge) tendency to become a leader, dictatorial, intolerant to
contradictions, but in unsecure situations he/she shows lack of self-confidence
with defensive or shy behavior, and tics.
Lycopodium attitude is very corporatist-like: tough and unpleasant with subordinates,

but humble and submissive with chiefs, always aiming for high recognition and
achievements.
Lack of self-confidence is projected somatically. A Lycopodium male would not say

he has sexual problems but will consult the greatest specialist for ~prostatitis~ (assumes
this causes his intimate issues). Women will not discuss their unfulfilled sexuality but will
complain of “chronic ovaritis” or “they are not understood”.
Constitutionally there are some characteristic traits:
1. Attitude. In most circumstances it is a superior attitude, with chin a bit

higher and apparently sure of himself, but when challenged with an unpleasant
question he deflates and becomes suddenly a sensitive person.
2. Hand gestures: precise, often indicating with index finger the place of
disturbances (Ars.) or with rhetoric gestures
3. The belt. Lycopodium does not stand constriction of any kind in the
abdominal area or neck (Lach, Nux-v.) so he/she will put on belt higher than
normal, over the umbilical area.
4. In many cases, the shoulder line is smaller than the line between ischial
spines.
All symptoms are possible: respiratory, digestive, sexual or psychosomatic.
One characteristic sign is a kind of diffuse and badly defined abdominal

discomfort, mostly in lower part of abdomen, with flatulence or eructation after
meals. Almost all Lycopodium keep some kind or another of a diet for the sake of
avoiding digestive complaints or just because they project diet as cause of their
disturbances. The bad hour is 3-4 PM, after digestion is in its intestinal phase.
Right laterality is often, but not an exclusive general symptom.

Magnesia remedies have some common characteristic but the kind of
magnesia prescribed is often based on the second root constitutional signs.
Magnesias are remedies with a certain tropism to the digestive, nervous and
neuromuscular systems. To understand them faster just think to the role of
Magnesium in organism (the calcium-magnesium pump in all muscular
activity, digestive, in the bones and energetic metabolism, etc.)
The main two features of all the class are: spastic, neuralgic. Therefore, it is
of use in children’s colics, with diarrhea (irritating to the anus) and explosive
stools or by the contrary in colics associated with constipation and sheep dung
like stools. Sometimes diarrhea alternating with constipation, both painful.
Sourness of perspiration, vomiting (Rheum, Iris, acids), and stomach burns.
Neuralgias everywhere (face, sciatica, migraines) aggravated by cold, drafts
(Hepar sulphur, Silicea, Nux vomica), very sensitive to touch, with two strong
modalities: need to wrap the place or warm applications, and bending the
body (Colocynthis, Chamomilla, Cuprum) and ameliorated by motion.
Mentally the class is characterized by sensitivity to touch, words,

contradiction, fast and unexpected reactions, irritability and forsaken feeling.
Kent recommended Mag-c to orphans, abandoned or adopted children.
Useful in spasms, tics, fasciculation and muscular cramp (esp. during night).
For the second root, the same thinking as for Calcarea or Baryta.

Colocynthis
In most cases Colocynthis is an acute remedy (with notable
exceptions for ailments after anger).
It is a remedy for spasms, colics, neuralgic pains, all intense, with
two main characteristics: the body is bent double and the mental
cause might be frustration, indignation, vexation, feeling of being
betrayed (Staphysagria).
A case: a woman patient came with severe kidney colic, bent double, accusing
symptoms similar to migrating kidney stone colic. I asked her what happened and the
first thing she said was not about her pains but about her husband who cheated on
her and treated her badly (“he is a bastard, an idiot, an irresponsible…”). Colocynthis
30CH worked in minutes.
In children the psychosomatic causality is difficult to discover,

but I use Colocynthis regularly when colics with bent thighs and
rubbing the feet one against the other are present, and the child is
very irritable, crying and with fits of jerking.
In severe pains of whatever origin (abdominal or kidney colics,
stomach pains, pelvic pains, sciatic neuralgia) it works wonderfully
if the patients bend spontaneously and presses hard on the
painful area.
It is useful in facial or trigeminal neuralgias, sensitive to touch
but better on hard pressure (Bryonia). Ameliorated by coffee or
other stimulants, never happy with anything.

Mancinella
After the first provings Mancinella was considered as a
remedy with marked skin troubles “dermatitis with intense
vesiculation, oozing sticky serum and formation of crusts”
(Boericke)
Nowadays is an important remedy for mental neurotic and
psychotic affections, mostly of schizoid type and hallucinations
or delusions connected with the idea of evil, devil, demons but
strong refusal to name “devil” as such.
A patient of 40 y. o. was brought to me by his brother, because he refused to

continue the psychiatric medication.
I hear voices (what kind of voices?) …telling me to do bad things (what?) … bad
things… (like?) … improper things (like?) … like killing my son (and what more?)…
like putting my house on fire… (and how do you hear them?) in my head…(how
are they?) ...strange to me, like bad spiritual entities... (how do you feel them)
…bad …like evil… (one or more?) … one, like coming from the Evil One (and what
do you do?)…
I pray… I am very religious. At the follow up at six months he came alone and said
that instead of daily voices he hears them once at 3-4 weeks but for short time
and can get out of that by his own refusal.

The Mercurius class was considered by Hahnemann as the most
representative for what he called Syphilis Miasm in infections
with transpersonal transmission (sexual, respiratory, by touch
contact) with an initial local inflammatory and purulent
pathology, followed by secondary spreading in the whole
system.
It was considered as the most destructive miasm, and Mercurius remedies are to be
considered whenever destruction (in tissues, organic, mental) is present (Fluor-ac).
In our days, the most frequent pathology for the prescription of Mercurial remedies is
purulent tonsillitis, mostly in children, but in adults as well, with the general symptoms of the
class: high fever, difficult swallowing, hyper salivation, formation of white, yellowish or greyish
pus, accompanied by profuse thick sweating that does not ameliorate. Purulent otitis with
offensive pus flowing on the pillow.
Recurrent painful aphthae (with “metallic taste in the mouth” or disease with all sorts of
ulcers on mucosae (genital in both sexes, like colpitis or balanitis; digestive ulcers, like Crohn’s
disease; axillary or perianal fistulae, etc.).
Chronic or recurrent suppurations on the skin: Pustules, boils, abscesses, ulcers.
Neuralgias (dental, trigeminal, facial) with extreme sensitiveness to touch. Great indications
in toothaches, especially associated with root granuloma and abscesses.
Another keynote is “pain in (long) bones aggravated at night”. In general, all symptoms are
aggravated in the second part of the night.
Mentally, the Mercurius type was characterized by tendency to fits of anger, violence (a need
for fighting, sports or not), paranoid mentality with delusions of being watched, pursued, and
discriminated as if there is a conspiracy against him.
- Mercurius Solubilis is the princeps remedy and most used of the class.
- Mercurius Dulcis has a special tropism for ears both in acute and recurrent cases.
- Mercurius Corrosivus has its main indications in ulcerative disorders of all kind.
- Mercurius Biiodatus is a remedy I used in difficult cases of purulent tonsillitis and laryngitis with a
characteristic formation of greyish adherent pseudomembrane like those of diphteria.
- Mercurius Cyanatus is the reserve remedy in the most dramatic and toxic cases, when besides purulent
processes, sweating and foul odour of all secretions appear an acute sensation of suffocation.
- Cinnabaris (Mercurius Sulphuratum Rubrum) I use often as a remedy for higher
respiratory tract infections or when modalities and type suggest a Sulphur root.

Cinnabaris

Cinnabaris
Cinnabaris is Mercurius Sulphuratum. In it we
will have traits of both roots, but we have to remember
it as the mercurial Sulphur.
It is prescribed mostly in acute inflammations of

throat, sinuses or other membranes, where there is
intense congestion and a threatening purulent process,
that it can stop.
A characteristic sign is blockage feeling at the root

of the nose, with a sensation the air does not pass
through nostrils, with neuralgic pains in the bones of
face. Secretions are irritating for the skin below nose or
post nasal drip.
Genital inflammations on both sexes accompanied

with warts on genitalia or perineum (condylomata
genitalis, HPV infections)
I remember one case of mine, man of 40 y.o. with chronic hepatitis B, a lot of
perspiration (day and night), acne on face and shoulders, dirty skin, intolerant to heat.
I prescribed Sulphur but nothing changed. When I took into account his skin and the
night perspirations I prescribed Cinnabaris 200 CH that brought relatively fast an
amelioration of all the analysis. He had mixed symptoms of Mercurius and Sulphur.

A small remedy indicated in punctual
suppurative processes, as panaritium or
recurrent abscesses and furuncles (or fistulae,
carbuncles, long lasting ear suppurations)
that mature slowly, even with antibiotics
(Silicea, Hepar sulfur).

It is the princeps remedy of the class, as we don’t have a real Natruim metallicum in use or
provings. It is both a constitutional (not just for Natrium but for Muriatic root too) and a
situational remedy
Main physical Nat-m traits are:
1. Slim constitution, with some slight asymmetries (pectum excavatum, or asymmetric

implantation of teeth);
2. Dry skin, dehydrated, making folds, mostly on abdomen;
3. Dry hands, dehydrated, rough to touch, with visible lines («muriatic hands»),
sometimes yellowish (like Nit-ac.);
4. Tendency to make cutaneous eruptions on all borders (margins) between

different kind of epithelia (at the limit of hairy scalp, at the limit of lips, at the limit
between palmar and dorsal hand and feet skin)
5. Often (not always) geographic tongue.

Main physiological features are:
1. Need for water in large quantities. Aggravation when thirsty;
2. Desire for salt (kids of Nat-m lick salt) or salty and dry food. They prefer salty
snacks to cooked food. One of main remedies for anorexia nervosa or bulimia;
3. Eats well but does not gain wait. In general, not very fond of food;
4. Do not well tolerate extremes of temperature (both sun and heat or cold,
both aggravate);
5. Relation with seaside or Salt Mines; in most cases aggravation, but sometimes
amelioration too;
6. When decompensating a peculiar tendency to infiltration of the skin even if

the skin is outwardly dry;
7. In females, tendency for cellulitis, mostly on thighs and apparent gynoid

conformation of body (even if they are slim).

Main mental characteristic:
1. Ailments from grief, death of beloved ones, familiar drama or

separation. Long ruminates about past events in their lives
(sometimes years and years, with the “never well since” symptoms)
2. Keep their feelings to themselves, don’t express them, don’t like

consolation (but cry when alone), and don’t complain.
3. Retention (sometimes well hidden) in social contacts. People with good
relation with others, they hate conflicts but “with only one real friend”.
Good listeners but difficult to talk about themselves
4. Conscientious about their social obligations (in family, job), people

considered as socially trustful, even if they don’t like.
5. Escapism in parallel activities (social, activism, artistic, sports) where

he/she can feel free expression.
6. Compassionate but without making a big deal about their deeds. Don’t
like to be in the center of attention but if obliged always keep a kind of
discretion on him/herself.
7. There is no peculiar pathology in which Nat-m is indicated. The

prescription is based on causes, constitution, characteristics, and
modalities, but mainly on the understanding of the case.
In my records, I treated all kind of ailments with this remedy: from pneumonia to acute tonsillitis or
diarrhea, from depressions to digestive ailments or autoimmune diseases, from recurrent migraines
to thyroiditis. It is a deep acting remedy that does not stand stereotypes but needs a comprehension
of the person.

In this remedy the Sulphur root comes together with the
Natrium root.
It is considered a Sycotic
and Hydrogenoid remedy, with
a strong relation with water: wet weather, cold baths,
infiltration of tissues, edemas. It is one of the most sensitive
remedies to barometric changes: a typical Nat-s patient feels
the changes toward rainy weather, one or two days before.
Rainy changes of season, autumn and spring are periods when
they do their recurrent respiratory, digestive or rheumatic
disorders.
Even if sensitive to cold, in general they are warm persons,
keeping the Sulphur modality of uncovering feet during
sleep.
Constitutionally, a very strong sign is cellulitis on thighs
and hips going downward to feet. Infiltrations of hands and
eyelids (Apis, Kaliums).
Many characteristic eruptions on feet, hands and body:
beginning with small vesicles, itchy, aggravated by warmth and
with tendency to larger inflammations (erysipelas, impetigo,
psoriasis)

One of the main adult remedies of our age. In an article I published years ago, I
equated Nux-v with “the boss syndrome” in which the key-words are “too much”:
too much work, too much responsibility, too many phone calls, too much work stress,
too much air-conditioning, too much smoking, too much alcohol, too much medication.
The typical Nux-v patients are asleep after meals, sleep in the evening on the sofa,
with the remote control in hand, awakening at 3-4 in the night with the job issues
on their mind, feel sleepy again after 1-2 hours but, bad luck, the alarm clock sounds!
Mentally, they like to be (or are obliged to be) in the centre of events, taking
many and quick decisions, but with a characteristic “empty look after they lose
interest”. It is as if they are looking into an empty space.
Bossy women with a peculiar tendency to cut short their hair.
Nux-v depression appears from time to time and it is characterized by refusal: to

work, to communicate, to share, like an empty machine that needs to refuel.
Children (and adults) of Nux-v have three strong characteristic symptoms:
- sensitivity of the mouth and throat to touch, they vomit easily on tooth
brushing or spatula examination.
- very sensitive to drafts of air or air-conditioning that can be a cause for all
their polymorphic ailments: rhinitis, sinusitis, migraines, neuralgias always
ameliorated by warm applications
- a characteristic position, both in sleep or sitting: with hands raised under

neck.
It is one of the best indicated remedy in ailments after food excesses, when
changing the diet (e.g. when travelling) or in ailments after too much medication

Nosodes
Nosodes are complex remedies that can
be used on a typological basis, every one
of them having well defined symptoms, or
may be used miasmatically, after other
remedies have failed.
They are extreme remedies for both
physical or mental behavioral extreme
conditions, when the symptomatology
covers more remedies and none of them
gave satisfactory results.
This is available for both “classical”
nosodes (Psorinum, Tuberculinum,
Medorrhinum, Luesinum) as well as for
the “new nosodes” as are Bach nosodes (
Morgan, Gaertner, etc.) or those from
bacterial or virus cultures
(Streptococcinum, Herpes –nosode, and so
on).

Its name come from ~psora~ a term Hahnemann used to designate all
itching eruptions, that may appear recurrently or may alternate with
internal complaints. In its primary sense, psora was assimilated with the so
called ~itch disease~, due (or not) to parasitic infection with Sarcoptes
Scabiae.
Reccurent, persistent, intense itching with scratching till

bleeding, aggravation to warmth of bed, water, and
possibility to develop all kind of lesions (from simple papullae to
bullae and pustulae) is the strongest characteristic. On skin there are
always scratching marks, as small crusts, disposed along some lines in
whatever part of the body. Itching may lead to despair, both by extension
and intensity.
Dirty looking skin, strong offensive smell of the body and

perspiration.
The typical Psorinum is cold, with intolerance to cold

and obsession about getting cold (they wear cold clothes, in
many layers, even if warm outside), but they are aggravated by
warmth of bed, transpiration, bathing (sometimes even aversion to bath
– as Sulph. but this one is warm)
Mentally, anguish states with fears of cold, future and poverty,

self-depreciation, forsaken feeling and refuge in fantasists thinking are
characteristic.
Always hungry, wakes up in the night to eat.
Another great characteristic is the alternation or succession

between skin, respiratory and digestive disorders (as happens in the atopic
terrain), always aggravated by cold in any form (air, food).
Tuberculinic miasm was considered by some authors as a
psoro-sycotic miasm, because it combines elements of both
(itch from the first, neoformation of the second).
The concept was introduced by the Swiss

homeopath Antoine Nebel observing those patients
who are predisposed to make tuberculosis, mainly
pulmonary, but also on bones and kidneys, that
represents its main tropisms.
Tuberculinic children are of two types:
- Longilineal, tall, slim and pale, with red lips and

dark rings around the eyes, in most of cases (coming from
Phosphoric or Muriatic roots) or
- Round, fat and slow with paleness and prone to
respiratory infections (coming from Baryta or Kalium
root).
One of the greatest characteristic for both is the

tendency to make adenoids, with all their
consequences on respiratory tract: nose obstruction, otitis,
asthma and recurrent pneumonias. In fact, Tuberculinum
may come at the end of all other remedies when there are
complications of adenoids.
Mouth breathing, enlarged glands, pale face with rings around

the eyes, the last remedy before operation.
Grinding teeth in sleep.

A very important characteristic, both in convalescence and
typological is the night perspiration, obliging to change
pyjamas more time (Mercurius) mostly around 4-5 AM.

Mentally, children are hyperactive, in hurry, with fear of dogs
and cats, discontent, with difficult going to sleep and nightmares.
A great characteristic is the ~desire to go away~, to travel, even
dromomania, when they live their place without any apparent
reason.
Desire to changes and radical switches in live,

need for trying exotic experiences and places,
getting bored with the establishment after they
fought for their ideas, and beginning new things from
zero will be a great characteristic for all their lives.
Che Guevara with his asthma and refusal to settle down when
the revolution in Cuba succeeded).
Desire to travel, to move around.

If they come from a Phosphorus root (which is common),
great sensitivity to storm, exposure to drafts and
amelioration to mountain fresh air (pine forests). They need
and like to cover their throat with scarfs. Recurrent
asthma attacks when exertion or during night, recurrent
pneumonias, recurrent fever without an apparent cause.
Definite desire for fat and spicy food, like ham, salami, ice-
cream (but with possibility to make intolerance to milk products).
Desire for new experiences, legal or illegal, like alcohol, drugs or

sex (Med). Going from one extreme to another in all aspects
(life, religion, habits). As with Medorrhinum, the best part is the
night when they feel alive, followed by terrors in the morning.

Is the sycotic remedy by excellence.
Great tendency to make all kind of neoformations: warts, nevi, condiloma, cysts
or other benign tumors.
The binomial SUPPRESION – EXPRESION is characteristic (Staf.,Sulph., Psor., Zinc.)
Restlessness children with many nevi, sensitive to wetness but amelioration at

seaside; or the reverse, timid, reserved, they bite
their nails to the root, both
on fingers and toes (Hyosc.). They sleep on belly with raised pelvic region. This
position may ameliorate them in acute conditions too.
Extremes in behavior in both expression and depression. Extroverted, impulsive,

passionate, overexcited with hypersexuality, likes to be in the center of attention and
may attire it with strange or shameless behavior in their “hyper” state. But
introverted, timid, forgetful and absent minded when in their inversion state.
They like night life with social events, bars, clubs, disposed to alcohol, tobacco,
sexual or drug stimulations (Tub.) and awake late in the morning. Becoming ~alive at
night~.
Amelioration on seaside, or on the contrary, aggravation.

Fearless, doing crazy things or extreme sports, or on the contrary, full of obsessions
(Luesinum) and fears: anticipatory, fear of ghosts, of dark, of insanity or
claustrophobia.
Paradoxical behavior towards animals: they seem to love animals, collect

dogs from street but afterwards are cruel to them.
Inverted eruptions, predominating in inguinal area, around genitals and axillae:

red diapers rush in babies, dermatitis atopica predominant in pelvis region, inverted
psoriasis.
In both sexes, strong sexuality and recurrent genital discharges, prone to

sexually transmitted diseases (HPV, candida, chlamydia, even HIV).

Syphilinum
Is the final remedy of syphilis miasm, with both mental and

pathological manifestations
Children who ~never sleep~, with night terrors and cannot be

quieted during night (Ars, Stram). In some cases, strong and fearful events
of mothers during pregnancy (violent events like war, deportation,
refugees, abuses). In some cases, family history of alcoholism,
syphilis, or domestic violence.
Restlessness children with ritualistic behavior (autism) and various
deformations on bone structure or skeleton (Fl-ac.) like cleft palate,
Hippocratic nose or asymmetries of all kind (scoliosis, kyphosis).
Many compulsive and obsessive disorders, with compulsive

behavior, related with cleanness(they buy UV lamp for their houses)
One of my cases, a 10 y.o. boy, was so obsessed about microbes that he cleaned the heating pipes
with the tooth brush, and his main pleasure was to wash dishes and cleaning the house).
Fears of diseases, of contagion, of microbes ( Ars), of being

dirty.
Nightmares of destruction, burnings, earthquake, blood (Stram.). All

symptoms aggravated at night, till the sun rise.
Bone pains along long bones during night (Merc) ameliorated by

warmth.

It is a bipolar remedy, the two poles being similar with the phases of intoxication.
1) A state of overexcitation, hyperesthesia and sleeplessness (Coffee), with vivid

characteristic audible sign is stertor at every respiration.
Specific causation: vascular accidents, post operation symptoms after general

anesthesia, intense fright (Aconitum, Stramonium) or withdrawal of drugs.
A spectacular case of mine: periodical migraines that appeared after C section (on general
anesthesia) with drawing backward sensation in occiput, with congestive face and sleepiness during

Pulsatilla

Pulsatilla
There is a constitutional Pulsatilla, described for the first time by
Hahnemann and then became a stereotype: blond hair, blue eyes, gentle
persons, weeping easily, wishing fresh air, thirstless and sensitive to greasy
food.
The remedy is much more complex, for sure. For example, in Radar 10, we can
find more than 40 symptoms of intense thirst (even of 4th degree!).
Or the mental symptoms, besides a lachrymose state with “flowing tears

on cheeks, without a sound”, one can find “jealous, irritable, violent,
breaking things”. Shy, timid but likes to be in the center of attention, then
all of a sudden, without apparent cause weeps while speaking.
Delusion of being forsaken, alone, need for affection but delusion of
being persecuted and discriminated against as well. Contradictory,

Radium bromatum
Is a toxic remedy, with neurologic and skin
trustfull signs
In neurology, the first sign is numbness of
localized areas, sometimes along nerves, like
in sensory neuropathy (Gnaphalium,
Conium). Then may appear pyramidal
dysfunctions with paresis like symptoms on
extremities, insecure walk and diplopia
(always to think in MS).
On skin, one of the most toxic and
destructive acne, with painful deep bluish
pustules and abscesses that bleed easily and
evacuating a dirty pus. Many cysts and
pseudocysts on skin (Bromium, Iodum,
Fluoricum). Characteristically, acne all over
the back leaving deep bluish retractile
scars.

Ranunculus bulbosus has affinity for muscle, nerves
and skin tissues especially on chest (pleurodinia,
intercostal neuralgia, Zona Zoster), but on
extremities too (sciatica, brachial neuralgia or
Zoster)
It was included among hydrogenoid remedies
because of its sensitiveness to changes of weather
and damp. Local sensitiveness to drafts of air and
touch.
Ranunculus sceleratus is an aggravated Ranunculus

mostly on skin, with
(Cantharis, Carbo vegetabilis,
Rhus) with intense pain and oozing troubled liquid.
(I used it successfully in pemphigus or pemphigoid eruptions).

Another Hydrogenoid remedy, sensitive to wet and
hot weather (but ameliorated on warm
applications), with genital, neuralgic and rheumatic
pathologies.

pressure, always aggravated before or with storm,
dread of, and fear storms (Phosphorus, Causticum).
A remedy of male glandular swelling (orchitis,

Gouty pains (first toe, ankle, knee), wandering
(Colchicum, Ledum), often with painful heels, always
related with humidity and stormy weather.

A complex remedy with strong skin, throat and osteo-muscular affinity and
definite modalities.
As a constitution, the Rhus type is rather thin, fibrous, with stringy muscles and
tendency to have paravertebral contractions. When raising the arms, the back makes a
hyperlordosis and paravertebral muscles are contracted “as if two fish besides spine”.
The main modality is “pains and stiffness at

first motions, better on warming and
movement but returns when tired”. This
applies to all arthritic pains in joints (fingers,
shoulders, hips, knee), backaches, neuralgic
pains (sciatica, intercostal).
Restlessness during night (changing
frequently position in bed, rising to move
around).
Always aggravated by cold and ameliorated by warm in all of their forms (air,
weather, applications, warming of muscles), even if locally there is congestion and
inflammation.

Another sign (both constitutional and in acute pathologies) is the redness of tip of
tongue, not only the legendary triangle, but also tip and margins.
The Rhus tox. modalities are superposing the most

typical symptoms of Rheumatoid Polyarthritis: stiffness,
stiff hands in the morning, pains ameliorated warming
up muscles and joints, aggravation to cold and wet
weather.
In all cases of RP I begin by looking for symptoms
that are contrary of Rhus; if we don’t find, it is a
case of Rhus. Let’s say Rhus is the principal remedy
of what was called before ~arthritic diathesis~. A
good way to see if the remedy is correct is to
observe the evolution of inflammatory tests (BSR,
Fibrinogen, CRP, rheumatoid factor).
