Homeopathic Medicine :: Camphora – Gum of Camphor
Indicated in cholera and cholera morbus, and in attacks of diarrhoea which in violence suggest the choleric state. A few whiffs of camphor in the early stage of a cold often breaks it up.
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 :: Secale – Ergot
Indicated in septic conditions, as puerperal mania; in diarrhoea of a grave character, dysentery, Asiatic cholera; in passive haemorrhages; in gangrene (senile). In all these the serious nature of the affection is shown by evidence of collapse, foulness of discharges, suppression of urine, unquenchable thirst, coldness of the body to touch, haemorrhagic tendency. Also of value in spinal disease with cramping, formication and numbness, and loss of motor power.
Homeopathic Medicine :: Dulcamara – Bittersweet
Indicated in coughs, especially whooping cough, hay fever, larngeal phthisis, of phlegmatic, scrofulous persons who have a delicate, irritable skin and suffer from eruptions.
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 :: Gelsemium – Yellow Jessamine
Indicated in fevers of malarial, catarrhal or eruptive character, with shivering; fever without thirst; unwillingness to be disturbed; sense of paralytic weakness in the limbs. In catarrhal conditions, including hay fever and la grippe, with watery discharge, dullness of head, dizziness, chilliness, and neuralgia, and hysteria, passing off with the appearance of frequent and copious emissions of limpid urine.

Used in syphilitic iritis and other complaints resting upon a syphilitic base; gonorrhoea with thin, greenish discharge and scalding during micturition. Has done good work in neuralgic headaches and in neuralgia in other parts (facial, ciliary). Adapted to the so-called hydrogenoid constitution; acts well in stout persons of dark complexion, lymphatic temperament and unhealthy skin.
Homeopathic Medicine :: Graphites – Black Lead
