Homeopathic Medicine :: Cuprum Metallicum – Copper

Indicated in spasmodic affections (chorea), convulsive seizures (puerperal, epilepsy, convulsions of children). Particularly useful when convulsions and other threatening symptoms appear after suppression or too early disappearance of the rash in eruptive fevers. Valuable in whooping cough; in all forms of diarrhoea (cholera) with violent cramps in abdomen and calves of legs; in gastric affections with violent vomiting cramping; in colics so severe that collapse seems imminent.

Homeopathic Medicine :: Iodium – Iodine

Indicated in ailments of scrofulous persons of dark complexion, with induration of glands (including testicles, ovaries, liver, pancreas, mesentery, thyroid, etc.), who eat much and often, yet are scrawny and lose flesh constantly; often called for in wasting diseases.

Homeopathic Medicine :: Magnesia Phosphorica – Phosphate of Magnesia

Indicated in neuralgic pains and spasmodic affections of exhausted, languid persons, especially women and children.

Homeopathic Medicine :: Phytolacca – Poke-Root

Indicated in sore throat, chiefly diphtheria, with grayish deposit and abundant tough, sticky mucus; chronic rheumatism, especially in the hip and thigh, worse from any change in the weather; bone pains (syphilis). Useful in mastitis.

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 :: 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 :: Berberis Vulgaris – Barberry

Indicated in kidney troubles with pain in the back, extending to different parts, sometimes difficult to locate; the pain is stitching, jerking, lancinating, tearing. Also in diseases of the liver, with indigestion, vomiting of food, soreness of the liver, bilious colic, gall-stone colic, and jaundice. In lumbago, the pain extending from the back around the body and down the legs with bright-red urine containing mucous sediment.

Homeopathic Medicine :: Cicuta Virosa – Water Hemlock

Indicated in convulsive and spasmodic affections (chorea, puerperal convulsions), with drawing back of the head and neck, even to opisthotonos (opisthognathous – retreating jaws). Particularly valuable in cerebro-spinal meningitis and in the sequels of concussion of the brain and spinal marrow.

Homeopathic Medicine :: Digitalis Purpurea – Purple Foxglove

Indicated in affections of the heart, with weak, irregular contractions, causing a fluttering sensation. Sense of faintness and fear of death from dread that the heart?s action will suddenly cease. Of great value in organic heart disease, with scantiness of urine and dropsical effusion. Also in hepatic disease with jaundice, ascites, nephritis with cardiac symptoms, percarditis with effusion; pneumonia, especially of the aged, with weakness of the heart?s action. Less often in urethritis, specific and non-specific, and in prostatitis.

Indicated by its persistent nausea and vomiting, not only in gastric derangement, as from eating rich, indigestible things, and in diarrhoea, but also in coughs (whooping cough), haemorrhage (from the lungs, uterus), and in intermittent fever.
