The mother tincture is prepared from the ripe dried seeds, from which the awn-like process has been removed, of the plant Strophanthus gratus (Wall. et Hooker) Franchet, a native of tropical West Africa. N.O. Apocynaceae.

The main indications are:

Cardiac decompensation. Palpitations. Tachycardia.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Strophanthus gratus, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for strophantus: cardiac insufficiency; anticipatory anxiety.

The attenuations are prepared from g-Strophanthin · 8H₂O, C₂₉H₄₄O₁₂ · 8H₂O, MW: 729.

Strophanthinum improves the conditions of circulation in hyperacidified regions of the myocardium, as was proved (Kern) by measurements taken with the aid of special electrodes which were implanted in the living myocardium of an experimen- tal animal.

Strophanthinum can also produce beneficial effects through oral dosage, if the preparation (usually in combination-remedies) is not swallowed straight away but retained in the mouth for some length of time (perlingual resorption).

Obviously Strophanthinum has a prophylactic action against myocardial infarc- tion, massive doses not being at all necessary; on the contrary, potencies such as, e.g. 8X, 10X, or 12X seem to work more favourably, but require use for longer periods of time.

The attenuations are prepared from Strontium carbonate, SrCO₃, MW: 147.6. The main indications are:

Arthroses. Chronic sprains of the ankle. Bony fistulae. Pustular skin conditions.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of

The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from a sterilized culture of Streptococ- cus viridans corresponding to 10⁷ CFU/g.

Similar indications to those of Streptococcus haemolyticus, but should also be used in subacute bacterial endocarditis, and in severe typhoid fevers and as an inter- current remedy in neoplasm phases and auto-immune diseases.
