FERRUM GROUP

“Medicine is a science of experience; its object is to eradicate


diseases by means of remedies. The knowledge of disease, the
knowledge of medicines and knowledge of their employment,
constitute medicine.” Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.

FERRUM IS A LATIN WORD MEANS IRON

D/D WITH OTHER GROUP


BROMATUMS:
In this Guilt is more result of their passion and instinctive actions;
while in ferrum it is result of the fact that they haven’t been able to
fulfil their task (failure)
Therefor persecution is different: in bromate being chased by god,
the ferrum by the police.

KALI’S:
Duty consciousness of ferrum resembles kali group but in kali it
comes with in while in ferrum it forced upon them by someone
else.

MANGANUM:
They able to give others their own space. They have more and are
still able to practice.
Their criticism is milder and more constructive, while ferrum is
more pushy it is a “must” type.

CALCAREA’S:
There is an obvious relationship between the two. It seems that the
sensitivity to other people is characteristic of the 2pluse charge. As
if it represents the relationship btw 2 people.
Calc response with passive reaction and retreat into the shell.
While ferrum responds with a active rection (stands firm)

FERRUM METALICUM
It is the pure metallic iron. It is a medicine of very ancient lineage.
 Old school of medicine prescribe it extensively in anaemia and
chlorosis.
 Iron being a component part of the human blood, is supposed
to be good supplement for deficiency of blood wherever
found. This theory based on fallacious conception of the
working of the human system, is utterly materialistic, and as
such unworthy of serious attention.
 Verily, the want of proper proportion of iron in the blood
cannot be rectified by the addition of extra iron in the shape
of food or medicine. The source of trouble lies in the defective
assimilation in other words, to the incompatibility of the vital
force in adopting itself to changing environments.
 Homoeopathy takes a fuller view of the situation and aims at
putting things right at the source, rather than interfere or
meddle, in a process known only to the force within the
individual concerned.
The first peculiar modality of our remedy is that it always and
invariably an aggravation after eating and drinking and while at
rest.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 21

Anaemia is the next important symptom of this medicine. To


prescribe this medicine in such conditions alone would be un-
homoeopathic to the extreme, unless in addition to these
symptoms like great irregularity in the distribution of the blood.
 The cheeks are flushed with a rosy hue as if in the best of
health; but in spite of this marked local plethora, this bloom
in appearance, there is universal pallor of the lips and mucous
membrane.
 Veins as seen in ferrum met are generally full and prominent.
The blood vessels all over the body throb violently.
Sometimes the Anaemia is so profound as to lead to a
swelling of the feet.

The APPETITE, DESIRE AND AVERSION supply us with the next


characteristic indication of ferrum metalicum. Both the opposite
conditions of extreme hunger and total anorexia are found under
this remedy.
At times there is voracious appetite, the patient eating double the
amount of ordinary meal and still feeling hungry, and then there is
the extreme dislike to all kind of food.
The stomach is always out of order; regurgitation of food without
nausea and inclination to vomiting are two grand characteristics.

Every particle of food, taken during the day, is vomited out,
especially towards the hours of midnight. There is generally a
steady flow of water in mouth after vomiting.
 At times the nausea is so great that the patient rolls and
staggers as if intoxicated.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 25


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

In this respect, it is so similar to ipecac. That a confusion may be


very easily made, but then again, we must remember that the
regurgitation, so characteristic of ferrum, is wanting in ipecac.
 A great soreness of the walls of abdomen is always present.
It is a great HEMORRHAGIC REMEDY.
 We have Hemorrhages from almost all the orifices of the
body.
 The blood is light, and it coagulated easily. The characteristic
point is the association of this hemorrhage with anemia.
 The bleeding is explained by sudden ebullition due, as has
been said before, to irregular circulation, and sudden rush of
blood to single parts.
We prescribe it for epistaxis in anemia children with frequent
changing of color of the face. We prescribe it in hemoptysis, in
metrorrhagia and menorrhagia, and in hemorrhages from other
parts of the body affected with temporary congestion caused by a
disruption in the equilibrium of circulation.

HEADACHE : yes they are matyrs to it .


 Its is congestive , hammering , pulsating headache .during this
headaches the feet get cold and the face turns fiery red .
 Rush of blood to head is so great that the veins of head swell,
and the patient experiences roring , buzzing ,
 and prickling sound in brain .
 During this attack though anaemic , they simulate a false
plethoric appearance .
 The headaches are generally worse after midnight and are
relieved by getting out of bed and slowly walking about.
Although during headache the patient , due to ebullition of
blood , looks very fullblood like belladonna , we must not be
missed ; the two remedies are characteristically different .
 One has merely semblance of plethora , and the other is really
plethoric
On the female sexual system its indications are numerous. The
menses appear too soon and are too profuse and too long lasting
and all throughout this time the face looks fierly red with great deal
of ringing in the ears .

It is extremely useful in vomiting in pregnancy, especially when it is


of a spasmodic nature. The patient suddenly leaves the table and
with one effort vomits all the food taken and then return and eats
another complete dinner.
FERRUM METALICUM IS ALSO A MEDICINE FOR TENDENCY OF
ABORTION.

We have some very clear-cut indication for ferrum in


RHEUMATISM. It is mostly in omodynia of a constant drawing
tearing nature that we think of this remedy. The pain is worse in
bed, and he must get up and walk about.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 28


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

Dr. Nash cured a patient on this indication after having failed with
other remedies, in a case of chronic rheumatism of the shoulder
joint.
Aggravation is also seen from warmth of bed, uncovering for any
length of time and folding arms.

Let us now study the action of ferrum on the respiratory system .
It is recommended in asthma , with great deal of oppression of the
chest and a feeling as if someone is pressing on it with his hands.
It is generally worse about midnight , when he must sit up or better
still walk about foe relief .
The cough is spasmodic , worse after meals , making him vomit all
his food,
We use ferrum in incipient stage of phthisis.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 29


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

Hemoptysis morning and night , interscapular pain , heavy


breathing , great prostration , and a tickling teasing cough
associated with a sore bruised feeling in the chest in young florid
subject with a remarkable erethism of vascular system , generally
call for ferrum met.

FERRUM MET. IS INDICATED IN INTERMITTENT FEVER


PARTICULARLY AFTER ABUSE OF QUININE.
The important symptoms, indicating it, are the following:
1. Chill at 4 am
2. Distention of the blood vessels during heat particularly of the
temples and face
3. Red face during chill
4. Throbbing pulsating headache during fever.

FERRUM PHOSPHORICUM
This remedy corresponds to disturbed states of circulation,
irritation, and relaxation of tissue. It also retains the leading
features of the other iron preparations: anemia, hemorrhages and
disorders of the veins.
The right sided remedy, this right sidedness of ferr phos is
marked as that of other ferrum preparations.
Iron and its salts possess the property of attracting oxygen.
The iron contained in blood corpuscles takes up the inhaled oxygen,
thereby supplying with it all the tissue of organism.
The sulphur contained in blood corpuscles and in other cells in
the form of sulphate of potash, Assist in transferring oxygen to all
the cells containing iron and sulphate of potash.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 31


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

A disturbance of the equilibrium of the iron molecules in the


muscular fibers causes a relaxation. This occurring in muscular coat
of vessels, causes a dilatation and accumulation of blood in the
blood vessels it leads to congestion leads to blood pressure being
increased, The walls ruptures, and results into the hemorrhages.
Again, if the muscular walls of the intestinal villi suffer a relaxation
from the disturbed equilibrium of the iron molecules diarrhea
results; when this occur in the muscular wall of intestines
themselves the peristaltic movement of the bowel is weakened and
becomes less active.
This causes tendency to constipation. Anything causing a
relaxation of the muscular vessel’s walls, and consequent
hyperemia, such as an injury, find its remedy in ferrum phos,
As this remedy in minute doses restores the equilibrium to
the iron molecules, thus strengthening the muscular fibres.
Through its power of attracting the oxygen iron becomes a useful
remedy in such disease of the blood corpuscles as anemia, chlorosis
and leukemia.
In the muscles cells iron is found in the form of iron
phosphate.
Another use that we may make of ferrum, arising from its tendency
to produce ebullitions of blood, is in phthisis florida. It is indicated
in young people who are subjected to tuberculosis, here rivalling
the well-known phosphorus. It is indicated more than phosphorus
when there is this apparent plethora, with great oppression of the
chest from any little exertion. The nostrils dilate with the efforts to
breath.
There is frequent epistaxis or nose bleed, and also hemoptysis, the
blood being bright red and coagulated. The cough is of a dry,
teasing character, and is made worse after drinking anything warm.

Dr.Samuel Hahnemann
(10 April,1755-2 july,1843)
(Founder of homeopathy)

“Homeopathy lays only over my


experience. Do imitate me, but do it
well and you shall see at each step the
confirmation of my statements.”

ACID GROUP
The word acid comes from
the Latin words acidus or
acere, which mean "sour,"
since one of the
characteristics of acids in
water is a sour taste.
(e.g., vinegar or lemon
juice).
DEFINITION:
An acid is a molecule or ion capable of either donating a
proton(H+) known as Lowry acid or capable of forming a covalent
bond with electron pair known as a Lewis acid.
An acid may be defined as a substance that can provide H+ ion
(proton donor), or any substance that liberates hydrogen ion in a
solution is a hydrogen ion donor.
PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:
 PH OF ACID: less than 7.
 Blue to red colour change on litmus paper.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 61


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

 Most of acids are colourless or light coloured.


 Generally mixable with water/soluble.
 Number of acids are odorless but some of them have their
own odor and taste.
 Acid evaporates when heated.
 All acids are corrosive.
 All acids are sour to taste.
 Acids are used as protein precipitating agent.
PRODUCTION OF ACIDS IN HUMAN BODY.
(NON-VOLATILE ACID/ FIXED ACID METABOLIC ACID)
 Lactic acid
 Phosphoric acid
 Sulfuric acid
 Acetoacetic acid
 Beta hydroxy-uric acid
VOLATILE ACID
 Carbonic acid-H2CO3
SOURCE
 Most of acids are derived from mineral kingdom are called
inorganic acid.
 And a few acids are from vegetable kingdom are called
organic acid.
CLASSIFICATION OF ACIDS:
1. Organic acids: they are weak acids. They are slow, progressive
and produce deep pathology.
 Acetic acid
 Acetyl acetic acid(aspirin)
 Anthranilic acid

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 62


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

 Benzoic acid.
 Carbonic acid (Phenol)
 Citric acid
 Formic acid
 Lactic acid
 Phthalic acid.
 Picric acid.
 Oxalic acid
 Salicylic acid.
 Succinic acid.
 Sulphonic acid.
 Uric acid
 Tartaric acid.
2. Inorganic acids/ strong acids: they are rapid, acute and produce
deep pathology.
 Boric acid.
 Chromic acid.
 Fluoric acid.
 Hydrocyanic acid
 Muriatic acid.
 Nitric acid.
 Sulphuric acid.
 Phosphoric acid.
USE OF ACIDS:
Organic acid:
 Citric acid: preservative for food, Flavouring agents
 Ascorbic acid/Vita c: In treatment of bone marrow and scurvy
disease.
 Acetic acid: added in pickles to make them sour .

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 63


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

 Tartric acid: as a component of baking powder (sodium


hydrogen carbonate+ tartric acid)
Inorganic acid:
 Hydrochloric acid: it is present in gastric juice and help in
digestion.
o As a bathroom cleaner.
 Nitric acid: it is present in rain water and it forms nitrates in
the soil, which is used by plans to obtain nitrogen.
o Useful in dyes.
o In the manufacturing of fertilizer like ammonium nitrate.
 Sulphuric acid: in storage batteries.
o In the manufacture of fertilizer, paints , detergent,
artificial fiber.
 Phosphoric acid: in fertilizer and detergent industry
 Boric acid: as grain preservative.
o Widely used in detergent.
o In manufacturing of glass, glazes, enamel, leather, paper
adhesive and explosives.
CHARACTERISTICS FEATURES OF ACID GROUP:
Ailments from:
 Surgical shock  After anesthesia
 Grief  Abuse of narcotics
 Loss of sleep  Occupational hazard
 Mortification  Loos of vital fluid
 Debauchery  Physical and mental

 They have
hair loss and
baldness.

 Pale, anaemic, debility


and prostration with
stooped shoulder and
premature old look.

THERMAL RELATIONSHIP:
 Acids are chilly they are easily
affected by cold in general.
 Except fluoric acid and picric
acid.
 Flouric acid is more towards
hot and picric acid is hot.

DIATHESIS:
 Hemorrhagic diathesis:Acids have
 hemorrhagic tendency,blood disorders, destruction of blood.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 65


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

 Black,brown,noncoagulable blood.
 Organic acids: passive  Inorganic acids: active
bleeding like slow oozing bleeding like epistaxis,
of blood in ulcer, scorbutic melena, hematuria,
gums, etc hematemesis,
menorrhagia, injury after
petechial bleeding.

MIASMATIC BACKGROUND:
 Acids covers all three miasms but predominantly syphilitic in
general.
 Organic acid:  Inorganic acid: cover all
predominantly has sycotic miasm but more
and tubercular miasm. dominant is syphilitic.

FLOURIC ACID
 A materialist – a man of the material world.
 Fluorine is the lightest, most active and reactive of the
Halogens. It forms and breaks relationships very quickly. This
can be seen in the symptomatology of Fluoricum acidum.
 Fluoricum acidum is
flirtatious and has many
acquaintances, but no deep
relationships. The term
"Buoyancy" has been used
to describe Fluoricum
acidum. Its pathological
processes however are very
deep and near syphilitic.

THE THEME OF FLUOR IS THAT OF AN INCOMPATIBLE


RELATIONSHIP AND THE NEED TO BREAK OFF.
 In Fluoricum acidum we see a tremendous effort in the
direction of breaking off the relationship. The situation of
Fluoricum acidum is one where an incompatible marriage is
causing the patient a great suffering. He needs to break away
from this marriage. Hence, he becomes irresponsible and
immoral.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 89


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

 The Fluoricum acidum person can perform a lot of feats


without rest, and all he needs is a short afternoon nap to gain
back his energy.
 The specific direction of this increased energy in the person is
indicated by the increased sexual desire. He stands in the
street and ogles at women. Fluoricum acidum persons talk
very openly about their sexuality. Even in old age, there is
increased sexual desire and excessive enjoyment.
 This patient has early sex life, frequent premarital change of
sex partner but no satisfaction. And all this relationship is
superficial.
 The patient becomes irresponsible and indifferent towards his
own family, but is pleasant and animated with strangers and
will seem careless, cheerful and exuberant on the outside. All
these features represent efforts that could help him break
away from the incompatible marriage or relationship.
 In the Fluoricum acidum dream: "Sudden death of his son, and
also of the son of one of his friends; thinks that in both cases,
he has been the one to blame, reproaches himself very much"
(Allen's Encyclopedia). This dream shows a sense of
responsibility and guilt, and also of caring for their loved ones-
the opposite pole of Fluoricum acidum.
This patient may come with falling of hair, or sleeplessness, or
anxiety beyond their control.
 Head: alopecia, hair fall after typhoid fever; hair become dry ,
breaks off And falls out.
 Eye: lachrymal fistula agg by cold air; sensation as if wind
blowing through eye.

discharge.caries of teeth, ulcer in mouth

sensitivity to pain, suffering
and torture.

Solanaceae family is fear,
especially fear of death, fear of
sudden death.

o Stramonium
o Tabacum
 The pathological conditions referred to, several times

epileptic seizures and violent terrors. The delusions of being
pursued, of murder, of snakes, and ghosts all speak of the
same sudden violence, sudden danger.

CANNABIS INDICA
FAMILY: HAMAMELIDAE
(Walnut Family / Bayberry
family)
Marijuana/ Hashish

 IT CONTAIN
ALKALOID

 THC’s[tetrahydrocannabinol]chemical structure is similar to


the brain chemical anandamide. Similarity in structure allows
the body to recognize THC and to alter normal brain
communication.
 Endogenous cannabinoids such as anandamide (see figure)
function as neurotransmitters because they send chemical
messages between nerve cells (neurons) throughout the
nervous system.
 They affect brain areas that influence pleasure, memory,
thinking, concentration, movement, coordination, and
sensory and time perception.
 Because of this similarity, THC is able to attach to molecules
called cannabinoid receptors on neurons in these brain areas
and activate them, disrupting various mental and physical
functions and causing the effects described earlier.
 The neural communication network that uses these
cannabinoid neurotransmitters, known as
the endocannabinoid system, plays a critical role in the
nervous system’s normal functioning, so interfering with it
can have profound effects.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 141


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

 Also activates the brain’s reward system, which includes


regions that govern the response to healthy pleasurable
behaviors such as sex and eating.
 Like most other drugs that people misuse, THC stimulates
neurons in the reward system to release the signaling
chemical dopamine at levels higher than typically observed in
response to natural rewarding stimuli.
 The surge of dopamine “teaches” the brain to repeat the
rewarding behavior, helping account for marijuana’s addictive
properties.

ENTRY POINTS:
 Generally, who are the people who crave to have stimulants,
who want to get high, these are the people who are extremely
sensitive to their environment
 IMAGINATIVE MAG
 Euphoria is not always related to an underlying condition. It
may be caused by:
 Exercise induced endorphin release
 Happy life events, achievements, reaching major milestones
 Romantic love
 Sexual satisfaction
 Listening to or making music or dancing
 Also sublime ecstasy state of mind.
 Cannabis is a social drug, i.e. it is taken in groups. Its intake
removes any sense of isolation that a person may feel. It is the
drug of the Hippies -
 They are well off materially, but isolated, forsaken and bored.
 They form groups and seek stimulus from music, flowers,

SPIDER GROUP

INTRODUCTION:
❑ Spiders form the largest
and most widely
distributed order of class
of animals called
ARACHNIDA, which also
includes the scorpions,
harvestmen, false
scorpions, mites and
ticks.
❑ FOR HISTORICAL
UNDERSTANDING u can
watch video link.
❑ Spiders are found all over
the world in the deep
seas, tall mountains, in
forests, in deserts. So, it is
called a cosmopolitan
creature. It can survive in
every kind of terrain that
is in air, water and on the ground wherever food is available.
❑ A member of a group of
arachnids characterized by having
six pairs of appendages, including
four pairs of legs and

❑ two main body parts


(chelicerae and pedipalps)
attached by a narrow stalk.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 169

USES AND IMPORTANCE


❑ Spiders are predators and because of their abundance are the
most important predators of the insects.
❑ The impact of spider predation is very difficult to assess. One
reason for this is that the web of a spider may catch many
more insects than the spider can use as food.
EX:
❑ Spiders have been used to control insects in apple orchards in
Israel and rice fields in China.
❑ Spiders also have been observed feeding on insects in South
American rice fields and in fields of various North American
crops.
❑ Modern pest management uses insecticides that do the least
damage to natural predators of insect pests.

IN ENERGY PYRAMIDS SPIDERS ARE SECONDARY CONSUMER, IT


ACT AS PREY AS WELL AS PREDATOR.

SPIDER VENOMS
❑ NEUROTOXIN: Evolved to kill or immobilise arthropods like
insects by attacking their nervous systems
❑ CYTOTOXIN: Break down the tissue so the spider can ingest a
liquefied meal.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 171


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

NEUROTOXINS
❑ The main effect of a neurotoxic venom is to block nerve
impulses to the muscles, causing cramps and rigidity and also
disrupting many of the body's functions.
❑ It also overstimulates the production of the
neurotransmitters, acetylcholine and norepinephrine, causing
paralysis of the entire nervous system.
❑ The combined effect causes sudden and severe stress to the
entire human body.
❑ In extreme cases, this can result in death due to respiratory or
circulatory failure.
CYTOTOXINS
❑ Necrotic venoms cause skin blisters around the site of the
bite, which may lead to ulcers and tissue death - necrosis.

SPHERE OF ACTION:
❑ NERVOUS SYSTEM:
o CNS: Anxiety, Restless, Over sensitiveness, Chorea
o PNS: Excessive sensitivity & Excitability of all senses. EX:
- Light and glaring colors irritate and <, Noise frightens
and <
❑ CIRCULATORY SYSYEM: Vascular congestion
o Blood poisoning
o Septicemia (Septic fevers)

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 172


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

❑ HEART
❑ SKIN: Deep destruction of tissue. Carbuncles, Abscess, Ulcers,
Gangrene, etc.
❑ EXTREMITIES
❑ REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS
BITE OF SPIDER
❑ The bite is painless; the person is not sensible of it till next
day, when an inflamed pimple is found surrounded by a
scarlet areola; from the pimple to some other part of the body
a red erysipelatous line is seen, marking the line followed by
the spider over the skin after biting.

❑ This pimple swells, the inflamed areola spreads, chills and


fever set in with copious sweat and retention of urine; the
pimple becomes hard, large, a exceedingly painful abscess,
ending by mortification of the integuments over it, and having
several small openings, discharging a thick, sanious matter
containing pieces of mortified cellular tissue, fasciæ, and
tendons; the openings by growing run into one another,
forming a large cavity; at this period the fever takes the
intermittent type with evening exacerbations. In two cases, in
delicate children, the bite proved fatal; but the majority
recover in from three to six weeks.

ARGENTUM METALLICUM
 Like other metal remedies, Argentum metallicum sees his
Survival in Performance and Defense.
 PERFORM intellectually and express himself through speech,
singing, writing, etc.
 DEFEND himself by intellect, speech and words.
 The metals of the second line are concerned with Show. Silver
is a showy metal, a shiny metal, a showpiece of human
society.
 A good orator is called Silver-tongued.
 'Silver-tongued’ term used for people who have the ability or
exhibit the power of fluent and persuasive speech; Eloquent.
 Argentum metallicum can also make good public speakers,
clergymen, preachers, persons who lecture using logic and
intellect, play artist.
 Musicians, singers, writers and novelists also use their
intellect and show off their talent of expression or expertise.
 They argue well, fight very strongly and hard, not only for
himself but also for others. Because they rationally and
logically analyze things.
 He has the ability to convince others and win over the
opposition with intellect.
 Hence, the Argentum metallicum person would make a very
good lawyer or salesman.
 He sees himself as a weak person internally who will be
attacked and finished unless he defends himself strongly,
often intellectually.
 They are successful in performance but here their
performance is tested.
 Argentum has the feeling is, ’Am I good enough? 'I'll be
appreciated only if I perform. In order to be appreciated and

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 215


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

maintain this position of success I must keep up this standard


in every creative venture or performance.’
 They believe any one bad performance will bring them down
from their successful position.
 So, he alternates (like Aurum alternates between "I am highly
moral" and "I am highly immoral and have sinned away the
day of grace") between
 "I am a high performer" and "I am not good enough, I can't
perform anymore, I am useless".
 Either his intellect is highly developed or he can't remember,
is confused, has loss of mental power.
 Everything in Argentum metallicum is about Mental Power.
ORIGIN OF THE PROBLEM / CONFLICT / DISEASE

Parents wants to show the world how talented he is, expected


to have high MENTAL POWER & to DEMONSTRATE it.

Child feels this is a condition for acceptance by his parents.


(FEELING FORSAKEN)

So when FORCED to perform

ANGER FEAR / FRIGHT (SYCOSIS)

At a point he can’t do it any longer & collapse.

GOES OUT OF CONTROL

He can’t live up to the expectation. POWER IS GONE

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 216


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

FAILED STATE:

 He develops vocal cord nodules, and can hardly sing or speak.


 His cartilages and condyles become thick and so he cannot
move freely; the limbs feel powerless, become tired and
weak, emaciated.
 He loses his mental power and becomes almost Insane.
 Writer's cramps are also an expression of an ailing Argentum
metallicum.
 He has no control over his mind, voice or movement, and
even does unaccountable things.
 Voice, Larynx and Extremities are the most important site
of action of Arg met because these are the Organs of Show.
 Slowly, over time, the mind and body give up the struggle and
go into deep-seated degeneration.

21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

NATRUM GROUP
SODIUM
❑ Chemical element, a Mineral element
❑ Group/ Row – 3rd
❑ Period/ Column – 1
❑ Atomic number – 11
❑ Atomic Mass – 22.99
❑ Block – S-block
❑ Electrons per shell – 2,8,1
APPEARANCE
❑ Silvery white metallic appearance.
❑ A soft metal that tarnishes within
seconds of being exposed to the
air, reacts vigorously with water.
❑ Sodium metal can be easily cut
with a knife and is a good
conductor of electricity and heat,
❑ Because it has only one electron in its valence shell, resulting
in weak metallic bonding and free electrons, which carry
energy.
NATURAL ABUNDANCE
❑ Sodium is the sixth most common element of earth and
makes up 26% of the earth crust.
❑ The most common compound is sodium chloride.
❑ A very soluble salt has been leached into the ocean over the
lifetime of the planet.
❑ Also found in many minerals including cryolite, zeolite, etc.
❑ Because sodium is so reactive it is never found as the metal in
nature.
❑ Sodium metal is produced by electrolysis of dry molten NaCl.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 243


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

USES OF SODIUM
❑ Sodium is used as a heat exchanger in some nuclear reactors,
and as a reagent in the chemicals industry.
❑ Na used to die Ice roads in winter.
❑ Sodium salts have more uses than the metal itself.
❑ NaCl is added to food which brings taste to the food.
❑ Sodium carbonate NaCO3 (washing soda) is a useful sodium
salt.
❑ Used as a water softener.
❑ It is also used as a feedstock for the chemical industry.
BIOLOGICAL ROLE
❑ Sodium is essential to all living things, and humans have
known this since prehistoric times.
❑ The sodium is the main constituent of extracellular fluid of the
body.
❑ A normal sodium level is between 135-145mEq/L.
❑ Our bodies contain about 100gm, but we are constantly losing
sodium in different ways, we need to replace it.
❑ As we get sufficient sodium we need from the food, without
adding any extra.
❑ The avg. person eats about 10gm of salt a day, but we all
really need is 3gm.
❑ Any extra sodium may contribute to high blood pressure.
❑ Sodium is important for many different functions of the
human body.
o 1. It helps cells to transmit nerve signals.
o 2. Regulate water levels in blood & tissues.
o 3. Role in contraction of muscles and in the movement
of body fluids.
❑ Thus, Natrum is responsible for HOMOEOSTASIS – Balance
and Maintenance, of the internal harmony.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 244


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

NORMAL VALUES IN THE BODY


❑ Extracellular – 140 mEq/L
❑ Intracellular – 05 mEq/L
❑ Sodium concentration in blood – 160 mEq/L
❑ Plasma concentration – 330 mg%
❑ Muscle concentration – 60-160 m gm%
❑ Nerve tissue – 300 mg
DOCTRINE OF SIGNATURE
❑ Sodium has 1 positive charge, cannot be stable alone, so
donates one electron to fulfil their vacancy and becomes
stable with halogen.
o Like Natrum person needs support, love, care,
attachment – to be stable, needs to be in a relationship –
one to one.
❑ Sodium in the body helps to keep the balance or, in other
words, maintains homeostasis.
o Like Natrum person, gives their best to maintain
relationships.
❑ Sodium rock salt – doesn’t melt down when added in a glass.
o Like Natrum doesn’t mixes with anyone, makes
boundaries around and lives within, doesn’t allow
anyone to enter inside. They don’t like to shares
anything.
❑ Sodium adds taste to the food.
o Like Optimist Natrum are cheerful, artistic, they tries to
bring out some creativity, finds life tasteful.
❑ On oceans there is an effect of sun and moon both.
o In Natrum there is aggravation from Both Sun and moon
i.e., <Sunrise to sunset. There is also very marked
periodicity.
❑ From outside ocean looks very calm and stable but within,
there is much unstability.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 245


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

o Like Natrum looks normal from outside, but within there


is so much sadness, grief, suppressed emotion and
reserved kind of personality.
❑ Sodium is found in ocean – waves are present in oceans.
o Like Natrum there is oscillatory moments of emotions.
There is sudden intensification of emotions and then
decreases.
❑ Salt in excess when added in a glass, salt settles down-
concentrates
o Natrum in the same way concentrates and settles with
old memories i.e., Dwells upon past disagreeable things.
CATIONS AND ANIONS
❑ Cations like Sodium have to give electrons - and become
stable once they find atoms that accept electrons.
❑ Anions have to accept the electrons to be stable and have to
make an effort to keep that electron with them.
❑ Cations have in them the feeling that they are incomplete and
hence need to find a relationship to support them.
❑ Anions they too feel the need for relationship but the feeling
is that they have to make a lot of effort if they wish to keep
the relationship.
❑ Cations as dependent, passive and feeling the need for
relationship.
❑ Anions as active and feeling the need to make efforts to keep
the relationship.
UNDERSTANDING WITH PERIODIC TABLE
❑ ROW 3 – The issue is about completeness or incompleteness
(like something is missing or lacking), fear of losing that
completeness.
❑ ‘Am I stable or unstable?
❑ Do I need to join with something else to become stable?’

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 246


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

❑ The problem is not with the opposite person, but it's with
himself.
❑ It is their insecurity that leads to the problem.’
IDENTITY AND NOURISHMENT
❑ Developing own's identity and the expressions of it’s image,
choice and ego.
❑ Natrum needs warmth, nourishment, care and emotional
support.
❑ They develop fears of natural, unknown and unfamiliar things
and between right and wrong.
❑ There are also issues related to growth and development.
❑ Reacts to small things. For example, "You don't care" or "You
didn't call" etc.
❑ THE THINGS THAT MAKE THEM HAPPY
❑ "THAT YOU CARE FOR ME."
❑ "LET ME DO WHAT I WANT."
❑ "ACKNOWLEDGE ME."
The PAST is an important aspect of their lives,
gets stuck up there.
❑ GRIEF and DISAPPOINTMENT in the past.
❑ BROODING on remembrance of that
hurt feeling.
❑ Even if they are sitting quietly, those
feelings of unhappiness flash in their
eyes and in their expression.
❑ Brooding ends in WEEPING.
❑ Cannot weep in presence of others. They
will lock the room or bathroom and
keeps on weeping.
❑ CONSOLATION AGG.
❑ Even if 100 wonderful things have happened in their life, but
the traumatic things get stored in their memory lane deep

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 247


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

down and every little trigger brings those negative emotions


to the surface.
❑ CLOSED, RESERVED, INTROVERTED
❑ HIGHLY PRINCIPLED PERSON
❑ They do not want the solution, they
want someone to listen how sad,
depressed they are and so many
harmful things and injustice have
happened to them and feel the world is
terrible place to live in.
❑ They nurture negative emotions all the
time and it becomes a HABIT.
PESSIMISTIC
❑ SENSITIVE, ANXIOUS, FEARFUL
❑ A NATRUM MALE, the hurt feeling
comes from injustice in the
family or injustice and insults in
the work place and these
feelings remain in their heart all
the time.
❑ In natrum, these feelings
remain till the time of their
death unless treated by a
healing medicine.
❑ THIS NURTURING OF THE HURT FEELING BECOMES A
BANAYAN TREE WITH HUNDRED OF BRANCHES FIRMLY
ROOTED TO THEIR HEART AND EMOTIONS.

BARYTA GROUP

LETS UNDERSTAND THE BASIC ABOUT BARIUM:


 ALKALINE EARTH METAL
 DUE TO HIGH CHEMICAL REACTIVITY, BARIUM NEVER FOUND
IN NATURE AS A FREE ELEMENT.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:
 SOFT
 SILVERY WHITE METAL, SLIGHT GOLDEN SHADE WHEN PURE.
 DUE TO OXIDATION TURNS DARK GRAY LAYER CONTAINING
OXIDE.
 Barium is chemically similar to magnesium, calcium, and
strontium, but even more reactive.
 BARIUM HAS MEDIUM SPECIFIC WEIGHT AND HIGH
ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY –DIFFICULT TO PURIFY
 Reactions with other nonmetal, such as carbon, nitrogen,
phosphorus, silicon, and hydrogen, are generally exothermic
and proceed upon heating.
 Barium combines with several other metals, including

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 329


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

aluminium, zinc, lead, and forming intermetallic phases and


alloys.
WHAT ABOUT TOXICITY?
 SOLUBLE BARIUM COMPOUND ARE POISONOUS .
 IN LOW DOSE BARIUM IONS ACT AS MUSCLES STIMULANT.
 IN HIGHER DOSE IT AFFECT ➔
o NERVOUS SYSTEM
o CARDIAC IRREGULARITY
o TREMORS
o WEAKNESS
o ANXIETY
o SHORTNESS OF BREATH
o PARALYSIS
o BLOCKING POTASSIUM ION CHANNELS
 BARIUM IS NOT CARCINOGENIC AND NOT BIOACCUMULATE
 INHALED DUST CONTAINNING INSOLUBLE BARIUM
COMPOUND CAN ACCUMULATE IN THE LUNGS CAUSE BENIGN
CONDITION--BARITOSIS.
 Baritosis is an extremely rare, benign form of
pneumoconiosis that causes little or no overgrowth,
hardening, and/or scarring of the tissue in the lung (fibrosis)
USES OF BARIUM:
 Often use for spark plug.
 In vaccum tubes as a drying and oxygen removing agent.
 Fluorescent lamps: impure barium sulfide phosphorescence
after exposure to light
 Its compounds are used by oil and gas industries to make
drilling mud.
 Also use to make paint, bricks, tiles, glass and rubber. rat
poisoning
 Barium nitrate and chlorate give firework a green color.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 330


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

 Its compounds are also use in pyrotechnics, petroleum


products and radiology.
 Barium Chloride is used to harden steel and is used to produce
a green color in fireworks. Barium Chloride is very toxic and if
eaten could cause death. Barium Carbonate is used in the
ceramic industry and in the preparation of bricks and cement.
Barium Carbonate is used in rat poison. If a large amount is
eaten by a human, it can cause heart issues and paralysis.
Barium Sulphate is used when patients have x-rays. It coats
the inside of the stomach or intestines and means they show
up easier on scans. Barium Sulphate is not toxic to humans
WHAT ARE THE MAIN COMPONANT OF BARIUM:
 BARIUM CARBONATE
 BARIUM SULPHATE
 BARIUM ACETATE
 BARIUM CHLORIDE
 BARIUM IDODIE

GROUP 2.
WHAT IS MAIN FEELING OF
GROUP 2?
 Main fear of 2nd

CARBON ELEMENT

• Carbon word derived from the latin word, “carbo” meaning


“coal”
• A naturally abundant NONMETALLIC element in many
inorganic and many organic compound.
• Atomic no-6.
• Tetravalent in nature- making 4 electrons available to form
covalent chemical bonds.
• The fourth most abundant element in the entire universe. And
it is the second most abundant element in our bodies, the first
being oxygen.
• Carbon in its purity found only in the diamond.
• We have it comparatively pure, however, in the lampblack, or
carbonium.
• Carbon will necessarily be somewhat different in its action
according to the source from which we obtained it.
• Hahnemann used principally three carbons- carbo animalis,
carbo vegetabilis and graphites.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 361

ANIMAL KINGDOM VEGETABLE ARTIFICIAL


KINGDOM PRODUCT
• Carbo animalis • Carbo vegetabilis • Artificial product
• Obtained • Obtained from found principally
principally from variety of beech- lining the interior
bones tree. of large iron
• Contains some • Contains some retorts.
phosphate of carbonate of
lime. potash.

CARBON & HUMAN BODY


• Cell the smallest element is the structural and functional unit
of the body, which possesses the qualities of all living matter
including those of self-preservation and reproduction.
• This cell also contains carbon. It has been estimated that
human body is composed of various elements where the
dominating composition of carbon is after oxygen i.e.,
percentage of carbon is 18% after oxygen (65%).
• It shows that carbon has some role in the process of life and
therefore carbon is characteristic carries of organic life.

Process prevalent at genetic code in all carbons: slowness + laxness


+ hardness

SLOWNESS HARDNESS
ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATION
WITH REDUCED WITH INCREASED
FIBRIN
ELASTIN
LAXNESS INDURATION

• Reduced Elastin – the process at genetic level that causes


relaxation of tissues.
• Inelasticity causes Relaxation. Relaxation causes slowness &
stasis.
• Stasis
• git- slowness, sluggishness of small and large intestine-
slowness of digestion, slowness of excretion, automatically
explains Offensiveness of carbon elements.
• Respiratory system- will naturally slow down the oxygenation
of the whole system, leads to easy fatigue and characteristic
Air Hunger & then need of fan. Breath also will be of offensive
smelling.
• Portal circulation- veins become inelastic, resulting into long
standing Haemorrhoids & Varicose vein. Sluggish circulation
leads to intolerance of cold air.
• Fibrin Excess – the process at genetic level that causes
Hardness & Induration.
• Excess fibrin
• Skin- formation of corns, callosities, keloids, hard & rough
skin.
• Cardio-vascular system- arteriosclerosis, thickening of blood
vessels.
• Lymphatic system- hard swelling of glands.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 363


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

• Nervous system- excess fibrin causes ischaemia to nerves


making them oversensitive. Different carbon have different
nerve affections.

PATHOLOGICAL ACTION OF CARBON:

MIND:
• It slows down the mental activities causes MARKED
SLUGGISHNESS, which is the characteristic of carbon group.
• Patient is slow to think, stupid, lazy and stagnation of thought
• Mentally dull, slow in understanding without idiocy; slow
grasping power.

LYMPHATIC GLANDULAR SYSTEM:


• It causes swelling and induration of glands and may simulate
cancerous enlargement and infiltrations.
• Glands become hard and sore with indurated surrounding
tissue and may be paralyzed and infiltrates.
• There may be congestion with or without suppuration.
• Their may be sluggish indurated ulcers
• Lymphatic secretions becomes foetid or offensive

VENOUS CIRCULATORY SYSTEM:


• Carbon affects the venous circulatory system causes paralysis
and infiltration of the veins.
• Veins are lazy, relaxed and paralysed.
• The sluggishness of carbon is marked in venous system.
Sluggishness of venous circulation leads to enlargement and
dilatation due to stasis of blood and thus varicosity is
increased producing varicose veins which ultimately is
responsible for the formation of ulcers.
• Venous congestion, Blue cyanosed condition with too much
sweat, phlebitis.
• Venous bleeding from any origin having non-coaguable blood.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 364


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

• Carbons have direct action on vascular system producing


inefficient heart, feeble circulation, and stagnation of blood in
lungs, hypoventilation, cardiac asthma, and compressible
thready, rapid pulse.
• Hypostatic pneumonia, much rattling in chest. Cyanosed
condition.

GASTRO-INTESTINAL TRACT
• Its action especially on mucus membrane of digestive tract
producing catarrhal condition, flatulence, distension of
abdomen, foul eructations, inactivity of the bowels,
constipation.
• Carbon is full of gastric signs and symptoms
• Heart burn
• Increased formative capacity of gastric juice leading to
multiple gastric ulcers, Gastralgia where carbo-veg have the
fastest fermentation
• In carbon, sluggish liver where non-starchy food also ferments
• Vomiting may be sour, coffee ground.
• Venous stasis is also frequent here in form of haemorrhoids,
prolapse of rectum
• Malignant condition of gastrointestinal tract also cover by
carbon group
MUCUS MEMBRANES OF NOSE, THROAT AND LUNG
• It causes catarrhal condition

FEMALE GENITAL ORGANS


• On its action over Female Genital Organ it causes Atonicity,
muscles are tired and relaxed with putrid and offensive
discharges
• Menstruation delayed
• Discharge is dark, acrid, corrosive and offensive.
• Profuse leucorrhoea, sterility with leucorrhoea
• Intense itching, eczema on labia, inner part of thigh, cervicitis,
ulceration of tract

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 365


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

• No desire for coition

SKIN
• All carbons shows the special affinity towards the skin
producing Excoriations and errythema from friction or
rubbing.
• Skin unhealthy, brittle, doesn’t retain stitches, with
eczematous eruptions and intertrigo.
• Tendency of multiple boils, carbuncles and deep seated ulcers,
multiple ulcers in eczematous area with crust formation.
• Septicity after eczema, scabies resembling Septicity.
• Itch, prickly heat, heat of bed worse by
• Eczema scaly eruptions, Psoriasis, ringworm, black
discoloration of skin, loss of hairs over skin, dandruff.

CARBON- CHARACTERISTIC MENTALS


• Sluggishness: Carbon slows down the mental activities and
causes marked sluggishness. Patient is slow to think, stupid,
lazy and there occurs stagnation of thoughts with slow
grasping power.
• Hard Working: Carbons are hard workers. They have social
standing and are quite un selfish. They do not believe in
materialism, and they try to find a meaning for their
existence, through their work.
• Spiritual: They give more to the spiritual aspect of the life.
Carbons always try to find father figures or authorities.

21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

• Shyness: Though all carbons have self-worth, they quite easily


take form of shyness.
• They are timid and easily frightened.
• Tendency to shrink back from danger. Lack of confidence.

all over the body and also in palms and soles.
• Burning pains all over the body.
• Pains are of simple, smarting and burning in character.
• Burning as if from smoke flushes of heat in vertex behind
sternum etc.
• Burning shows the destructive properties of carbon, energy
stored in the body is destroyed which leads to lack of
muscular strength.
• Offensiveness, All the carbons have very offensive and putrid
discharge. There are putrid exaltations from the body and
offensive sores.
• Stools, urine, sweat, menses are very offensive.
• There is depressed gas.
• Exchange and increase of fermented process due to which
also there is putrescence.
• Carbons have absorbent property. It purifies the atmosphere
or substances that are undergoing decomposition.
• Ulcers and Varicosities. All carbons have a marked tendency
to produce varicosity and ulceration. There is no rapid change
or repair of ulcers.
• Capillary circulation engorgement. Enlargement of veins,
dilatation due to stasis of blood and so varicosity is increased,
producing varicose veins which form ulcers.
• Venous congestion, phlebitis. Venous bleeding has non-
coagulable blood. It directly acts of CVS producing inefficient
heart, feeble pumping, hypoventilation, and rapid pulse.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 367

KREOSOTE -A PRODUCT OF DISTILLATION OF WOOD TAR


• Rapidity
• Putridity
• Hot, burning & corrosive discharges
• Contradictory symptoms
• Easy bleeding tendency

CONSTITUTION:
• Chilly, old looking, lean, thin, restless
• Thin, wrinkled, old looking
• Emaciation in general
ENTRY POINT: Angry Phosphorous
RULE OUT: if discharges are not offensive

CHARACTERISTICS:
• RAPIDITY OF SYMPTOMS:
• Symptoms progress very fast
• Rapid decay of teeth, teeth decay as soon as they appear
• Rapid emaciation
• Rapidity in all disease condition, even in cancer
• Blood oozes out of gums very fast
• Become anemic very fats
• PUTRIDITY OF DISCHARGES:
• Discharges, secretions, offensive, fishy
• Leucorrhea offensive, putrid, corrosive
• Offensiveness is marked in nasal discharge, leucorrhea,
urine, ulcers, odour from decayed teeth, diarrhea

II. Menses flow while lying down, ceases on sitting or walking
about
III. Can only urinate while lying down (wets the bed while
dreaming he is urinating normally, he wakes up but cannot
arrest urination)
IV. Stop brings a restart- menses, lochia, ulcers

MIASMATIC REFLECTION:
• AT PSORIC LEVEL- KREOSOTE NEED IS “SAFETY”
• Due to need of safety- kreosote becomes excitable,
restless & develops startling tendency in psoric miasm
• AT SYCOSIS LEVEL- SYCOSIS IS VERY SUBTLE.
• Though most carbons do not like consolation, kreosote
loves being fondled & caressed
• AT SYPHILITIC LEVEL- REACTION OF KREOSOTE IS GOVERNED
BY DESTRUCTIVE SYPHILITIC MIASM
• Destruction and that too at physical level. Physical
destruction often goes to destruction at mental level
For e.g acute hemorrhage followed by insanity, forgetfulness after
epistaxis

AURUM GROUP
INTRODUCTION
 Aurum is originally a Latin name. Gold
is named after the word ‘geolo',
meaning yellow. It has also known to
derive its name from “Aurora” who is
known as the goddess of Dawn.
 It has been known since as far as
records go back in time. Its chemical
symbol is Au.
 Gold has always been used in coins,
crowns, jewels, medals and other objects of value. The weight
of gold is expressed in names like gold 'bars', bar meaning
heavy.
 Gold was melted down into heavy bars to facilitate storage.
The noble character is still preserved even in names like
dental crowns, which are made of gold. It is also used in
electric points.
 Gold was generally used for couple thousands of years solely
to create things such as jewelry and idols for worship. This
was around 1500BC when ancient empire of EGYPT, which
benefited greatly from its gold bearing region made it as first
official medium of exchange for international trade.
Historical importance:
 Gold does not corrode and so it became a symbol of
immortality and power in many ancient cultures. Its rarity and
aesthetic qualities made it an ideal material for ruling classes
to demonstrate their power and position.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 431

 Because gold is visually pleasing and workable, also doesn’t


tarnish and corrode, it was one of the first metal to attract
human attention. Gold was generally used for couple
thousands of years solely to create things such as jewelry,
crowns and idols for worship.
 It was buried with the dead as a symbol of the deceased's
status, royalty and the conspicuous (and non-profitable)
consumption.
 This was around 1500BC when ancient empire of EGYPT,
which benefited greatly from its gold bearing region made it
as first official medium of exchange for international trade.
 Gold coins were first struck on the order of King Croesus of
Lydia (an area that is now part of Turkey), around 550 BC.
They circulated as currency in many countries before the
introduction of paper money. However, after WW1, due to
mismanagement by banks, leading to hyperinflation,
unemployment it met downfall.

CHEMISTRY

CALCAREA GROUP
INTRODUCTION OF CALCIUM:
 Calcium is a major mineral element of the body. It constitutes
1.5 to 2 % of the body weight of the adult human. About 99%
of the calcium in the body is found in the bones.
 The amount in the blood is usually about 10 mg/ 100 ml.
There is a dynamic balance between the calcium in the blood
and that in the skeleton. This balance is maintained by
parathyroid gland and chole- calciferol.
Calcium Needed By The Body For:
1. The formation and maintenance of bone and teeth.
2. Coagulation of blood.
3. Regulation of neuromuscular irritability.
4. Muscular contractability.
Source:
 Milk and milk products are main source of calcium.
 Fish
 green leafy vegetable
 Fruits
 cereals (ragi rich in calcium)
 drinking water
 Recommended intake of calcium (adult) – 400 –500 mg / day.
Doctrine of signature:
 The remedy is prepared from the middle layers of inner part
of the oyster shell. Thus one of the features of calcarea is

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 469


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

protection and withdrawal . They withdraw and make a


protective layer around them.
 Another strong aspect of Calcerea is anxiety and fear. There is
a theme of insecurity. The fear and anxieties center around
issues such as money, health.

CATION AND ANIONS


• Cations (Calcium) has to give electrons and become stable
once they find Anions that accept electrons.
• Their task is simply to find such atoms.
• In the homoeopathic Materia Medica we find startingly
similar.
• Cations has the feeling that they are incomplete and hence
need to find a relationship to support them.
• So , In Calcarea we find the tremendous fears and need for
support.

CALCIUM
➢ Calcium was used by the earliest
form of life to offer protection in
the form of a shell, exoskeleton,
etc.
➢ In humans it occurs primarily in bones which give us stability
and protection to vital organs like the brain,
heart, lungs and the spinal cord.
➢ Main feeling -Need for stability and security.
➢ The person feels like an oyster without a shell, and seeks
protection. He strives to get protection from outside or
develop it himself.
FEAR
THREATENS STABILITY AND SECURITY → CAUSES → IMMENSE FEAR
SENSITIVE TO FRIGHTFUL EVENTS OCCURING AROUND HIM
FEAR OF: ANIMAL, DOG, DISEASE, PHYSICIAN
IN UNCOMPENSATED STATE: SEEKS PROTECTION FROM OTHERS
AND RELIES COMPLETELY ON THEM.

BUILD HOME AROUND


 In a coped up state the Calcarea person is a home builder.

around him.
 The person has to cope especially when he has to face the
responsibility of life and does not have protection and
security whereas if he avoid responsibility, he remain
uncompensated.

IRRATIONALLY WHEN UPSET

irrationally, (Kent: 'He forms conclusions from his emotions
rather than his intelligence’.)
 She may cry when her husband forgets their anniversary, and
in her sadness she may accidentally burn the dinner, or in her

but Calcarea tends to come back to her senses pretty quickly.
She is sensible most of the time, and irrational only when
upset.
LOVE TO BE MAGNETIZED

brooding for long time.

So here we are learning ORPHAN feeling and HARMONY group


Magnesium was discovered in 1755 by Joseph Black. The name is
derived from Magnesia, a district of Eastern Thessaly in Greece.
Magnesium is a chemical element with symbol Mg.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Atomic number - 12.
The lowest melting point at 923 K (1,202 °F)
The lowest boiling point at 1,363 K (1,994 °F)
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND USES
• Flammability
Magnesium is a highly flammable metal, especially when
powdered or shaved into thin strips; (it is, however, difficult to
ignite in mass or bulk). Once ignited, it is difficult to extinguish. So
it was use in weapons used in the firebombing of cities in World
War II
They never found alone, always found with combination with other
elements, cause the moment they are alone they catch FIRE
SOURCE OF LIGHT
• Huge stars are made up of magnesium, and when star bursts
or die, lot of light is emitted, and this light comes from
nothing but magnesium.so, we can say it produces a brilliant-
white light on burning in air. that’s why Magnesium powder
(flash powder) was used as a source of illumination in the
early days of photography, electrically ignited flashbulbs.
• its physiologic significance is best known in the green plants.
It is found in an organic form in Chlorophyll similar to the iron
in the Haemoglobin. Chlorophyll, which transforms light into
energy in plants, contains Magnesium too. Magnesium

molecule contained in green plants enables them to


photosynthesise.
• Magnesium is present in every living cell, in the muscle and
nervous tissue. In the CSF, the Mg content is higher than in
the serum. Magnesium is the eleventh most abundant
element by mass in the human body. Its ions are essential to
all cells. They interact with polyphosphate compounds such as
ATP, DNA, and RNA. Hundreds of enzymes require magnesium
ions to function.
Food sources
• Green leafy vegetables such as spinach are also rich in
magnesium since they contain chlorophyll.
Allopathic use
• GIT
• Its used as laxatives, anta-acids (milk of magnesium)
• Cremaffin used as laxative also contain milk of magnesia
MAGNESIUM SULPHATE 400MG is also used to relieve constipation
with its laxative properties.
• Energy production: Magnesium in your body creates energy
by ATP, which is the fundamental unit of energy within the
body's cells. Without proper levels of magnesium, the
nutrients that you take in through food and supplements
would not be metabolized into energy.
• It contributes to the structural development of bone and is
required for the synthesis of DNA, RNA. (genetic factor)
• Liver is centre chemical factory of body, all chemical action
happen in body, and for all those actions ATP is require,
Sufficiently high levels of ATP are essential to the survival of
all cells; reduced ATP levels in the liver are one factor

contributing to liver cell death and may contribute to


development of alcoholic cirrhosis.
Cardio-Vascular System
• Magnesium sulfate is a bronchodilator. It relaxes the
bronchial muscles and expands the airways, allowing more air
to flow in and out of the lungs. This can relieve symptoms of
asthma, such as shortness of breath. Doctors mainly use
magnesium sulfate to treat people who are having severe
asthma flare-ups.
• Magnesium sulfate is effective as an anticonvulsant and an
antiarrhythmic
• Cardiac-arrythemia
• Used in eclampsia and pre-eclampsia, convulsive tendency
during pregnancy
• As we know high level of magnesium, prevent absorption of
calcium, and in hypocalcemia we can see symptoms like
muscle aches, cramps, and spasms.

TRAITS
• INTROVERTED, QUITE
• TIMIDITY
• OVERSENSITIVNESS
• HOMESICKNESS
• The Main feeling of magnesium is the feeling of needing the
love, care, protection and nourishment of parents. It is the
state of an infant dependent on the mother for nourishment,
care, security and support in order to survive, but who has
been abandoned by his parents. It is the feeling of an orphan.
• Orphan feeling of magnesium is so commonly talked about is
feeling not a actual state,
• There should be feeling of being neglected someway by any
parents, unwanted child, working parents) (state can also
come from parents look into pregnancy history)
Hence,
• NOT ALL ORPHANS ARE MAGNESIUM, BUT ALL MAGNESIUM
ARE ORPHANS

• For them their relations, friends are like food (what is food-
basic survival? psora need is also psora)

core but the cause of insecurity is different

extremely disturbed by all sort of violence, so they avoid violent


people, or even violent tv programme. Vitholkas has described in
mag-mur that they are the people who work for green-peace.
We can say mag is harmony remedy
• Why this much harmony?
• there is constant fear of loss
• An additional theme of the Magnesium is the fear of loss of
friends, family, etc.

Fear of loss and being criticized


• Kent describes Mag-c as a remedy for orphans. He says, Mag-c
and Mag-m are the most important remedies for children of
divorced or quarrelling parents. Quarrels can lead to a break-
up, hence the very strong reaction.
• They feel that even the slightest hint of aggression might
cause such a break up, so they feel a relationship can only
survive if there is no anger or aggression whatsoever.

durability, how can they be sure that won't all be over soon?
The other person might get fed up and leave, or even die at
any moment. They feel they deserve to have a family, but
they feel very vulnerable and dependent on this relationship.
• The fear that their newly formed relationship will break apart
, that makes them passive. they will not tell the other person
what they all want or feel.
Adapting in order to receive love
• They are afraid of making too many demands on the other
person in case he will leave. So they start to mould
themselves to the other person's wishes. They don't stand up
for themselves or get angry, instead becoming completely
passive to try and hold on to the other person's love.lead to
no desire ,no like dislike, contented So avoid any sort of

As we saw emotions are so repressed that even patient is not


aware of that
Appearance of patient is very calm, contented, no tension in
patients’ life sit very calmly even though he has severe issues but
subconsciously these emotions are active, anxiety is still there
Another way the anxiety manifests is by physical symptoms and
pathology that comes up for no obvious reason.
These problems can be well-known psychosomatic conditions like
ulcerative colitis, lichen planus, liver affection, GIT etc., but there
seems to be no big tension in the patient's life. They can sit with a
composed face and honestly say that they have no tension
whatsoever, and yet they have the most severe problems and
pains.
Their repressed emotions can also be expressed in the form of
dreams and these usually give the strongest confirmation of
Magnesium. Magnesium patients have plenty of dreams. dream
section is richest in magnesium, as dreams are window to the inner
world of magnesium emotion repress → subconsciously active →
can be express in form of dream.

one set of magnesium people say they don’t have any dream, even
after closely asked question, they are not able to remember single
dream that they had in past several years or even their whole lives,
this itself strong indication of magnesium. (its extremely rare that
patient don’t even remember one dream)
Dream is a healthy phenomenon and total absence of dream
indicate sever repression, indicate there is strong barrier between
conscious and subconscious mind.
patient who doesn’t have dream → Sever repression →
Severe pathology
Somatic symptoms appear easily but psychosomatic symptoms
difficult to find (koi he hi nahi dhyan rakhne vala to khud dhyan

• In such patient you can get 2 possibilities(indication)
1. they might be sleepless and can’t attribute this any reason
(mind-sleepless, causeless-mag-c)
2. patient say thaey have no dream but in the morning when
they wakeup they feel completely unrefreshed as if the mind
was active whole night or this can be seen in patient who do
remember their dreams, they say “I dreamt so much that I am
completel exhausted in the morning” and there is no reason
in their life to explain why they should have so many dreams.

• SELF-AWARENESS

• It is the salt of Magnesium and Chloride and combines the


Magnesium theme of infantile dependence and forsakenness
with the muriaticum theme of betrayal of trust and faith. The
main feeling of Magnesium muriaticum therefore is that his
trust and faith on the people he depends so much upon will
be betrayed, and he will be disappointed. Magnesium
muriaticum patients depend a lot on their friends. Friends are
people one can trust, and who care for you - "a friend in need
is a friend indeed". But the Magnesium muriaticum person
feels that he will be let down and disappointed by his friends.

BIOCHEMIC SYSTEM OF MEDICINE


FOUNDER:
DR. WILHELM HEINRICH SCHUESSLER
(1821 – 1898) (GERMAN PHYSICIAN)
▪ BORN IN 21ST AUGUST, 1821 IN
OLDENBURG, GERMANY.
▪ HE INTRODUCED BIOCHEMIC SYSTEM OF
MEDICINE IN 1873.

Birth of Biochemic System of Medicine


▪ Dr. Schuessler was impressed by masters,
▪ Dr. Hahnemann for the proving and potentization of salts.
▪ Dr. Rodulf Virchow- Physician, Anthropologist, Pathologist,
Biologist
▪ Dr. Mole Schott- physiologist & dietetics writer

▪ Dr. RUDOLF VIRCHOW, a pathologist at the well-known


Berlin hospital, Charité, investigated the processes in the
smallest living unit, the cell. He said “Diseases are based on
the altered functions and conditions of the cells in the
body, hence the normal functioning and condition of the
cells constitute health.”
▪ At the same time a Dutch scientist and physiologist, JACOB
MOLESCHOTT discovered the importance of mineral salts
for the functioning of the human and animal body. He said
“The structure and vitality of the organs depend on the
presence of necessary quantity of their inorganic
constituents.”
▪ This made DR. SCHUESSLER to think that the sick might be
healed with the substances that are natural, he called them

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 561


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

as “physiological function remedies.” With this object in


mind, he began experimenting upon sick and demonstrated
that his ideas and those of Prof. Mole Schott were similar
to the natural law.
▪ The word Biochemistry is derived from a Latin word, BIOS
meaning life & CHEMISTRY is the branch of science
▪ which deals with the composition of substances and of the
changes they undergo.
▪ Hence, we can define the Biochemic System of medicine
as, “The branch of science which deals with the
composition of bodies of the living things; the processes by
which the various fluids and tissues are formed.”
AIM
▪ To approach a deficiency directly, while all other therapeutic
methods achieve this goal indirectly.

‘Father of Deficiency Theory’


▪ The inorganic constituents are in a real sense, the material
basis of the organs and tissue of the body. They are absolutely
essential for the integrity of their structure and functional
activity.
▪ Dr. Schuessler found out by chemical analysis that the tissues
of the human body are composed of inorganic salts.
▪ The deficiency of one or more of these salts leads to
disequilibrium in the harmonious functioning of the cells.
▪ The deficiency of the salts causes disease and by supplying the
deficient salts health can be restored.

CONSTRUCTION
▪ This book has been divided into four parts

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 562


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

▪ The first part is devoted to General introduction, History, The


Theory, Health and Disease, Preparation, Dose, Biochemic and
Homoeopathic relationship, etc
▪ The second part is meant for Materia Medica of the twelve
Tissue Remedies
▪ The third part is dedicated to the Therapeutic application of
the Twelve Tissue Remedies
▪ The fourth and last part is for the Repertory of the Twelve
Tissue Remedies

PART 1:
1. History of the Twelve Tissue Remedies: under this heading the
evolution of Schussler’s Tissue Remedies has been described,
starting from Samuel Hahnemann’s provings on inorganic salts as
remedial agents of high order to Constantine Hering’s articles
regarding the importance of biochemic remedies and also includes
what importance was Tissue Remedies given by many stalwarts of
Homoeopathy.
2. The Theory of Schussler’s Biochemic Method: under this heading
explanation regarding basis of the Biochemic Therapeutics. i,e..
Any disturbance in the molecular motion of these cell salts in living
tissues, caused by a deficiency in the requisite amount, constitute
disease, which can be rectified and the requisite equilibrium is re-
established by administering the same mineral salts in small
quantities, this is supposed to be brought about by virtue of the
operation of chemical affinity in the domain of histology.
3. The Constituents of the Human Organism: components of blood
are explained here.
4. Tissue Building: information regarding tissue formation is given
here

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 563


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

5. Inorganic Constituents of Cells: the principle inorganic materials


in nerve cells, muscle cells, connective tissue-cells and cartilage and
mucous cells have been given here
6. Formation of Tissue Cells: formation and Physiology of tissue
cells has been explained here
7. Health and Disease: explanation about heath and disease by
Schussler. Health may be considered to be the state characterized
by normal cell metamorphosis. Disease is the result of a
disturbance of the molecular motion of one of the inorganic tissue
salts.
8.Dose, or Quantity of Tissue Salt Required to Re-establish Normal
Cell Equilibrium: Biochemic remedies are administered in minimal
doses corresponding in minuteness to the cellular salts in the
tissues. The evidences for the curative virtue of small doses have
been explained here and also the amounts of inorganic substances
present in the blood cells has been listed
9. Preparation and Dose: the tissue remedies are prepared for
therapeutic purpose, like all Homoeopathic remedies, according to
the decimal or centesimal scale in trituration or dilution
10. Schussler’s Own Procedure: here preparation of tissue remedies
according to Schussler is explained. At first Schussler began with
the sixth centesimal or twelfth decimal trituration, but he very
early in his practice adopted the sixth decimal preparation as the
one most generally useful. Later lower trituration of Potassium and
Sodium salts, the third decimal, of others the fourth and fifth, have
been productive of equally good results
11. Frequency of Doses: in acute cases, a dose every hour or two; in
severe, painful affections, a dose every ten to fifteen minutes; in
chronic cases one to four doses daily

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 564


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

12. Relation of the Biochemic to the Homoeopathic Treatment: the


Twelve Tissue salts are constituents of many of our well known and
proved remedies of Vegetable kingdom. Example: 6 percent of
Potash and Sodium salts occurring in Hamamelis, 4 percent Silicea
in Cimicifuga, 3 percent Mag phos in Colocynth ,etc…. through this
quantitative analysis of inorganic salts and dissecting the symptoms
obtained on proving, correlation is made among the drugs prepared
from vegetable or animal kingdom and Tissue remedies. The drug
Phytolacca decandra has been taken in this book and explained
that how some symptoms of Phytolacca are related
pathophysiologically to tissue salts like Kalis, Calcareas, Iron and
silicea.

(CALCIUM FLOURIDE, FLOURIDE OF LIME, CAF2)
INDICATIONS:
▪ It is an inactivate, insoluble compound.
▪ It is an inhibitor of several enzymes in the body, it diminishes
tissue respiration.
▪ It is found on the surface of bones.
▪ It is a constituent of the elastic fibers of the muscles of the
connective tissue and also the enamel of the teeth.

cortex of bones, calcification of the tendons and ligaments. It
also prevents stony hardness of glands

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 566


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

FOUND IN:
Surface of bone
Enamel of teeth
Part of elastic fibres (skin, connective tissue, blood vessels)
▪ Disturbance: causes dilatation, chronically relaxed condition
of implicated fibres

Induration
Absorption
Relaxation doesn’t
of vessels take place
Protein
rich of
Increase connective
hydrostatic material-
Dilatation exudates tissue/
of blood pressure lymphatics
release
vessels

Loss of calc fluor causes


▪ Hard, knotty exudation on surface of bone;
▪ Relaxation of elastic fibres; dilatation of vessels; relaxation &
displacement of the uterus, relaxation of abdominal walls
(hanging belly), hemorrhage of womb, all absence of after
pains (pains after delivery, uterus starts contracting again, but
there is no spasm)
▪ Exudation of keratin (skin, hair, nails) from the cells of the
epidermis.
▪ Exudation dries readily & forms an adhering crust- in palms of
hands, through labor, form fissure & cracks

When Calc flour is given


▪ Due to induration elastic fibre near to that lost their function
due to pressure;

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 567

WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE PHYSICIAN TO GIVE THE CURE TO THE


SICK???
APHORISM NO. 3
If the physician clearly perceives what is to be cured in diseases,
that is to say, in every individual case of disease (knowledge of
disease, indication), if he clearly perceives what is curative in
medicines, that is to say, in each individual medicine (knowledge of
medicinal powers), and if he knows how to adapt, according to
clearly defined principles, what is curative in medicines to what he

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 650


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

has discovered to be undoubtedly morbid in the patient, so that the


recovery must ensue - to adapt it, as well in respect to the
suitability of the medicine most appropriate according to its mode
of action to the case before him (choice of the remedy, the
medicine indicated), as also in respect to the exact mode of
preparation and quantity of it required (proper dose), and the
proper period for repeating the dose: - if, finally, he knows the
obstacles to recovery in each case and is aware how to remove
them, so that the restoration may be permanent: then he
understands how to treat judiciously and rationally, and he is a true
practitioner of the healing art.

JANOSIA ASOKA ( SARACA ASOKA)

FALSE ASOKA TREE


• One common garden tree
Polyalthia longifolia is referred
as Ashoka tree in India,
probably due to the slight
resemblance in foliage. To
avoid confusion with true
Ashok or Sita Ashok, this tree
is called ‘False Ashoka.’ These two trees are easily
distinguishable.
MYTHOLOGICAL RELATION

• ALSO KNOWN AS हे मिुटिा / स्त्रीपिर्.

• In the epic Ramayana, Ashoka


Vatika is the place where was kept
captive by the demon king Ravana,
after her abduction from
Dandakaranya forest.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 655


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

• Goddess Sita refused to stay at the king’s palace, seeking


instead to stay in Ashoka Vatika, under the Ashoka tree
(Saraca asoka).
WHY??

• Because Sita was able to withstand her shoka-શોક (sorrow)


because she was living under the A-shoka (without sorrow)
tree.

• So this tree is also known as SITA-ASHOK. (સીતા-અશોક)

• But why only ashok tree and not any other?????


• In Ayurveda, formulations containing the bark of the Ashoka
tree have been recommended for the several gynecological

• The bark is said to work as a uterine tonic; helping with severe
cramps, heavy bleeding, bloating, tiredness, and burning
sensation during the menses. It also helps manage pelvic
inflammatory diseases, including the inflammation in uterus
and ovaries, because it is an anti-inflammatory agent.
• It helps in reducing problems associated with postmenopausal
syndrome such as hot flashes.
• As it is capable of bringing back the balance between estrogen
and progesterone, it is recommended for the management of
poly cystic ovarian disease (PCOD).

JUSTICIA ADHATODA

• Vasicine and Vasicinone – are the most important extract.


Vasicine, as major research suggests, shows high respiratory
stimulant capabilities along with its ability to increase platelet
counts in the human body.
• Justicia Adhatoda has been used in Ayurveda for treating
respiratory disorders. Justicia Adhatoda Vasica is very
effective in the treatment of excessive cough.
• It just does not reduce cough but also relieves congestion in
the chest cavity by reducing mucus which generally leads to
excessive coughing. Along with cough and mucus, it also
relieves the headache associated with cough and coryza.
• Vasa is extremely effective for patients suffering from
excessive sneezing and who have difficulty in breathing.
• Vasaka has shown imperceivable results in the critical stages
of bronchitis. When the sputum becomes thick and sticky,

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 659


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

Vasa liquefies the inclined sputum to bring it up and out of


the body more easily. For asthma patients, professionals have
suggested inhaling the smoke of the dried leaves of the
Malabar Nut tree to get faster relief.
• Preparations from the flower of Justicia Adhatoda have
proven to be good in the treatment of Tuberculosis (T.B.). A
preserve prepared from the fresh petals of Vasa flowers,
mixing it with some sugar and keeping it under direct sunlight
for about a month in a clay pot, stirring it twice a day, gives
quite a relief in the irritable cough by creating a pacifying
effect on the nerve and by softening the sputum making
salivation and breathing easier.
Justicia Adhatoda for COVID-19
• Today the COVID-19 Pandemic, caused by the virus SARS CoV-
2, directly attacks the lungs and the respiratory system of the
human body.
• A study was recently conducted by the Ministry of AYUSH,
Govt. of India, which focused on the effectiveness of Vasicine,
the primary active alkaloid of Malabar Nut plant, against the
infectious symptoms of CoronaVirus.
• In the results, it is observed that Justicia Adhatoda has a good
potential to be one of the medicines that can be helpful in
reducing the symptoms of mild COVID cases who are under
self-quarantine.

JUSTICIA ADHATODA
• The Ayurvedic physicians of India prize it very much. They are
so very sure of its efficacy that they call it
Baidyamata(વૈદ્યમાતા), i.e. mother of physicians. They

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 660


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

confidently proclaim that no death can occur from cough of


any kind if Vasaka can play its role and find time to display its
healing virtues.
• In India, Justicia has been used for centuries as a medicine for
both acute and chronic catarrhal respiratory disorders.
According to the Ayurveda, nobody with these complaints
need despair as long as the tree exists.
• Region : Mucous membranes [nose; throat; lungs].
• "Recent research has shown that it contains various alkaloids,
including vasicine [also known as peganine], which stimulates
contraction of uterine muscles, thus inducing or accelerating
labour." [Bown]
RESPIRATORY AFFECTION
• The cough of Justicia is sometimes dry, spasmodic,
constricted. There is a violent degree of dyspnea associated
with the cough. So much so that there is great fear of
threatened suffocation. In whooping cough the child loses
breath, turns pale, stiff and blue and there is rigidity of the
body. There is usually vomiting with the cough and no food or
drink is retained by the stomach.
• In the first stages of tuberculosis it will surely be found to be a
valuable remedy. In this complaint there is usually spitting of
blood. The mucous membranes are dry, especially those of
the mouth and throat. The mouth,throat and tongue are dry
and there is thirst present.
• A highly praised remedy for acute catarrhal conditions of the
respiratory tract, use in the beginning. It is cooling, destroyer
of hoarseness and a sure and strong arrester of blood. It is
highly efficacious in cold, coryza, cough, bronchitis,

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 661


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

pneumonia, tuberculosis, spitting of blood, fever, jaundice,


vomiting, thirst, loss of appetite and constipation.
• Allergies and Hay fever. Fits of sneezing with lachrymation
and loss of smell and taste. Coryza, fluent, acrid with violent
sneezing, coughing or asthmatic attacks. Cough with tightness
of chest, as if it would burst with bronchial rattle, obstruction
of breath and sneezing. Stiffening out, trembling and
convulsions with cough or fever.

• "In some cases I have hesitated between Euphrasia and Allium


cepa, then gave Justicia with success. It has not the Euphrasia
eye condition markedly, nor the very acrid nose symptoms of
Allium cepa, but may be considered to involve both conditions
to some degree, with the added difficulty in breathing. Cough
causes the difficult breathing, is a marked feature, and may be
considered as a key-note of the this remedy." [Yingling]

• Hanumanji
• He is mostly offered Calotropis gigantea flower is being
offered to him, It might be because he considered to be the
rudra avatar of Shiva.
Lord Shiva and the aak flowers
• The flowers of aak plant, also known as the Mandara Pushpa,
are very dear to Lord Shiva. In some ways, the flowers also are
similar to the spirit of Lord Shiva. They are simple and plain to
see like Lord Shiva but are very sacred. Like Lord Shiva is quick
in temper, these flowers are poisonous if not handled
carefully.
• But on the other hand, Lord Shiva is quick to be pleased too.
The aak flowers, if appropriately used, can be of immense
medicinal value. Offer the flowers of Mandara on the Shiva
ling and Lord Shiva will bless you for your simple but heartfelt
offering.

FICUS RELIGIOSA (Ashwathya)

• This East Indian drug causes and cures hemorrhages of many


kinds. We owe this remedy to Dr. Sarat Chandra Ghose of
Midnapore, who made the first proving and thereby
discovered its power to cause and cure hemorrhages of many
kinds.
• It can be used in Hematemesis, Hematuria, Menorrhagia,
Metrorrhagia, Hemoptysis, Dysentery mixed with blood,
Bleeding piles, Epistaxis.
• There are facts which can be verified by any doctor if he has a
mind to do so. Its power to arrest the progress of
haemorrhage was so speedy that I was tempted to call it
action magical.
Various provings of this remedy
1. I (sharad Chandra ghose) was as healthy as could be
expected. I took forty drops of the tincture of Ficus religiosa in
one dose.
• The result was I had a frequent desire to micturate. The urine
contained blood in an abundant quantity. I had also an
inclination to cough which caused me to spit blood. A slight,
dull headache was present; giddiness and nausea troubled

me; the sight appeared to be dim; "I was very weak and
restless." I took the tincture three drops every two hours, and
after the third dose, the symptoms vanished.
2. My wife (Mrs. ghose) took the tincture in twenty drop
doses repeatedly throughout two days.
• On the third day dysentery and menorrhagia set in
simultaneously; the blood was bright red; she had slight
headache, very weak and restless, the sight was dim, burning
at the top of the head appeared, the face became yellowish,
difficulty in breathing existed, became sad and melancholy,
with the profuse discharge of bright red blood; there were
bearing-down pains in the lower part of the abdomen.
• It is remarkable that the same treatment (minute doses of the
same remedy) was effectual in arresting the effects of the
drug.
3. Case I-The eldest daughter of Babu Jamini K. Mukherjee, a
police officer, was suffering from chronic dysentery from her
very cradle. The stools contained blood. Not a single stool was
without it I gave her Ficus religiosa in one drop doses every
four hours. The result was beyond my expectations. The
stools became normal within fourteen hours.
4. Cases II-A friend of mine was suddenly attacked with a
violent type of hematemesis. The vomiting of blood was
generally preceded by coldness in the extremities, heat and
heaviness at the epigastrium, pallor of the face, oppression,
fainting, ringing in the ears, vertigo, loss of appetite, and
prostration. I administered F. Religiosa to the patient. The
medicine acted like magic to nip the malady in the bud and
offered a cure as instantaneous as radical. The patient
regained his former vigour and rose-bud of health within a
short time.

6. Case VIII-The son of Babu Gispati Ray Choudhari fell
accidentally upon a sharp-cutting instrument and a wound
was made upon his right thigh. The bleeding was very profuse.
It was so profuse that no allopathic medicine could arrest the
haemorrhage. I prescribed F. religiosa to be applied externally

GYMNEMA SYLVESTRE

• Weight loss: In Japan, 50 tons of G. sylvestre leaves are


consumed annually for the purpose of weight loss.
• Gymnemic acid - an active component isolated from
Gymnema sylvestre - has anti-obesity properties, decreases
body weight and also inhibits glucose absorption. Several
components extracted from Gymnema prevent the
accumulation of triglycerides in muscle and liver, and also
decrease fatty acid accumulation in the circulation.
• The major biologically active plant molecules are gymnemic
acids, a class of triterpenoid saponins, which have the effect
of suppressing the taste of sweetness on the tongue from
sucrose (sugar).
• Gymnemic acid compounds in Gymnema sylvestre can also
attach to receptors on the intestinal walls, helping to reduce
absorption of sugar molecules in the gut. This process can
lower blood sugar and promote insulin secretion and release.
• Early research suggests when a specific gymnema extract
(GS4) is taken orally along with insulin or diabetes
medications, blood sugar reduction in people with type 1 or
type 2 diabetes is enhanced.

• Gymnema silvestre, a single symptom observed from chewing


one or two leaves, which had a bitter, astringent and slightly
acid taste. Immediately after chewing them the sense of taste
for sugar was lost and also the taste for bitters, the effect
lasting some hours. Everything else could be tasted, as the
ginger in gingerbread but not the sweet. Quinine tasted like
chalk.
• This plant, which grows in the Deccan peninsula, Assam and
some parts of Africa is woody climber with long, slender
branches. The powdered root has a reputation among the
natives as a remedy for snake-bite.

reserpine, deserpidine and yohimbine. They are mostly indole
bases, affecting deep-seated brain centres to produce
sedation and relaxation by causing the release of serotonin
from the tissues as the result of its structural similarity to
serotonin. Some of them, especially reserpine and
rescinnamine, also act on the hypothalamus to reduce blood
pressure.
• Reserpine is also used in psychiatry. In small amounts, it is
useful in anxiety and stress, in larger doses in locomotory
restlessness in psychiatric patients.

OCIMUM SANCTUM

• Tulsi, which in Sanskrit means 'unique''અદ્વિતીય', is


worshipped throughout India. She is mostly known as the
wife of Vishnu. There are two types of Tulsi worshipped in
Hinduism—"Ram Tulsi" which has light green leaves which are
large in size; And "Krishna Tulsi" which has dark coloured
leaves these leaves are important for the worship of Vishnu.
• Many Hindus plant tulsi outside their homes, mainly in tulsi
kyari. Tulsi is found and grown in Vishnu temples, especially in
Varanasi.
• In a festival called Tulsi Vivah, on the day of Sud Ekadashi in
the month of Kartak of the Hindu calendar, the tulsi plant is
ritually married to Vishnu. On this day, the chaturmas, which
is considered inauspicious for the auspicious work of marriage
also comes to an end. With this marriage the wedding season
begins in India. Along with the practice of lighting lamps in the
month of Kartak, Tulsi is also worshipped and is considered
auspicious. Vaishnavas worship Tulsi every day especially in
the month of Kartak.

DR. AMIT GOHEL & TEAM SHA 682


21 MARATHON MATERIA MEDICA SERIES

• The Vaishnavas keep a bead garland made from tulsi wood


(stem) for chanting and the Tulsi garland made of similar fine
beads is also worn around the neck. The wearer of this
garland is considered to be protected by Krishna or Vishnu.
Such is the relationship between Tulsi and The Vaishnavas
that vaishnavas are known as those who wear tulsi garlands
around their necks.
• Due to its strong aroma and pungent taste, it is considered to
be a ramban(રામબાણ) life medicine in Ayurveda and it is said
to give a long lifespan.
• Tulsi extract is used in Ayurveda in common cold, headaches,
stomach problems, swelling, heartache, poisoning disorders
and malaria. Traditionally tulsi is consumed in a variety of
ways: as a dry powder, mixed with fresh leaves or ghee. The
aromatic oil extracted from karpoor tulsi is used as a herb in
cosmetics and in skin medicine due to its anti-bacterial
properties.

PRIMARY EXTROVERTED
➢ Sulphur should be considered as a force or energy. It erupts
out of a volcano with a force, that is unbounded, which can
destroy when in aggression and, when cool, can also create
new landscapes like mountains or islands.

ENTRY POINT
➢ KING OF ANTI-PSORIC – HAHNEMANN
➢ A very famous homoeopath was once asked, “If you are left
on an island with only three remedies of your choice to carry,
which three remedies would you carry with you?” He
promptly replied; “In the first bottle I will carry Sulphur, in the
second bottle I will carry Sulphur, in the third bottle I will
carry Sulphur!”

➢ Sulphur leaves no organ in the body, no tissue, no cell


untouched.
➢ It has an affinity for everything, but here I would like to
illustrate the most common Sulphur constitutions that we

WE CAN START THINKING ABOUT BARYTA-SULPH WHEN WE SEE:
➢ Tall Baryta with Sulphur like personality
➢ Left sided Baryta personality
➢ Ladies who buy too many things when they go for marketing.
There are some ladies who out of insecurity as well as
brainlessness will buy five kg of vegetables when only 1 kg is
required. She will buy everything more than the required
quantity. The food, whether it is a perishable item like fruits
or sweet meats will be purchased in so much quantity that it
will be kept in the refrigerator for days and then thrown away
as they become stale. For her there is no definite
approximation. Further, does not mind buying and throwing,
rather than falling short and risk being laughed at.
➢ People who are interested in old historic places, art, creativity
(Sulphur element), but the Baryta element does not allow
them to take interest in knowing the historic facts, nor does
the Baryta element allow her to create or copy any of this art.
This means there is only a superficial interest in historic
architecture or art and there is no depth in the interest.
