Naturopathy :: Methods for cure in Naturopathy
The methods applied for cure in Naturopathy are the following: –
Constipation
Homeopathic Medicine :: Podophyllum – May-Apple
Indicated in diarrhoea, cholera infantum, cholera morbus. The morning aggravation and the tendency to anal prolapse are valuable indications. Of service in bilious states generally, with gastro-intestinal symptoms; alternating diarrhoea and constipation.
Homeopathic Medicine :: Sepia – Cuttle-Fish Juice
Indicated principally in diseases of women, preferably of dark hair, rigid fibre, milk disposition; in menstrual irregularities, uterine displacements, affections occurring during pregnancy, lying-in, and lactation; in the constipation connected with these troubles. Described as ?washer-woman?s remedy;? ?everything goes to the back.?
Homeopathic Medicine :: Silicea – Silica
Indicated in conditions due to imperfect assimilation of food and to innutrition. Frequently employed during the development of suppurative processes, over which it has a marked influence, both in preventing suppuration and in controlling excessive pus-formation and its consequences. It is an antipsoric of far-reaching power, and as such often proves of great efficacy in conditions which seem beyond its range of action, as epilepsy. Its chief sphere of usefulness is in suppurative processes, as abscesses, joint-disease, carbuncle; scrofulous affections of the bone, rachitis, Pott?s disease, necrosis, etc.; glandular affections; eczema and eruptions inclined to ulcerate; old, offensive catarrhs; all sorts of abscesses, as tonsilitis and hepatic abscesses; cough of phthisis, with very fetid expectoration; bronchorrhoea, especially of old people.
Homeopathic Medicine :: Sulphur
Indicated in scrofulous conditions, in persons of uncleanly habits, lank and stoop-shouldered, in affections resulting from suppression of an eruption; in those subject to venous congestion and disturbed portal circulation. Characterized by periodicity and relapses. General inertia, aggravation from standing, acridity of the discharges, tendency of the skin to ulcerate from slight injury and, in children, dislike of being washed, are reliable indications. Frequently used in acute diseases when the indicated remedy fails to act, under the belief that it ?clears up? the case or stimulates vital reaction. It holds to chronic diseases a relation similar to that of Aconite to acute affections.
Homeopathic Medicine :: Alumina – Aluminium Hydrate
Indicated in persons of low vitality, of advanced years; in chronic nasal and post-nasal catarrh, with dryness of the mucous membrane; sore throat of public speakers; painter?s colic. Dryness of the mucous membrane and inactivity of the rectum are characteristic.
Homeopathic Medicine :: Chelidonium Majus – Celandine
Indicated in diseases of the liver and gall bladder and in disorders associated with or depending on hepatic disease. Acts best in persons of light complexion, thin, fretful, and subject to gastric, abdominal and hepatic derangements. Also used in coughs, bronchitis, pneumonia and rheumatism.
Homeopathic Medicine :: Ammonium Muriaticum – Sal Ammonia.
Indicated chiefly in diseases of the respiratory organs, with much prostration; in fat, bloated persons of lax fibre and of indolent, sluggish habit. Body large and fat; leg, too thin (H. N. Guernsey). ?Its periods of aggravation are peculiarly divided as to the bodily region affected; thus the head and chest symptoms are worse mornings; the abdominal in the afternoon, the pains in the limbs, the skin and febrile symptoms in the evening ? (Wm. Boericke).
Homeopathic Medicine :: Graphites – Black Lead
Indicated in fat, fair persons of indolent disposition, subject to moist eruptions. ?The graphites obesity is more particularly seen in older people, that of Calcarea in children? (T. F. Allen). In eczema of the scalp, ear, face, scrotum and elsewhere; in nasal catarrh; glandular swellings; herpes of prepuce, etc.
Homeopathic Medicine :: Anacardium Orientale – Marking Nut.
Indicated chiefly in neurasthenia, hypochondriasis, neurotic conditions. Marked impairment of memory, disturbed mental condition, and special expressions of the neurotic state elsewhere, as in the digestion, with sensory disturbances, call for its use.
