The attenuations are prepared from Skatole, 3-methyl-1H-indole, C₉H₉N, MW: 131.2.

Factor in albumin decomposition in the intestine. Interpolate in severe toxicoses, typhus, cholera, poisoning, sepsis, pneumonia, etc.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Scatol, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for skatol: putrefactive dyspepsia.

The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from the sterilized mucous substance obtained by puncture from the inflamed sinus cavities of 5 to 10 adult patients be- tween 20 and 50 years of age, who suffer from acute sinusitis maxillaris and who have not received therapy with antibiotics.

This nosode is not only used in acute and chronic suppuration of the sinuses, ade- noid enlargement, lymphadenopathy, nasal ulcers, hay fever and asthma, but also in reflex-illnesses which may be influenced from the nasal mucosa, e.g. (experimental- ly) in duodenal and gastric ulcer, neuralgia, etc. It may be used in conjunction with Mucosa nasalis to treat nasal ulcers, and with Psorinum in enlargement of the ade- noids and nasal polypi, and with Duodenum in affections of the gastrointestinal tract.

A proving of this substance was conducted in the summer and fall of 1994 by  Dr. David Riley.

• sinusitis
• nasal congestion and discharge
• gastritis

The attenuations are prepared from pure, precipitated, hydrated anhydrous silica, containing up to 90 per cent silicon dioxide, SiO₂, MW: 60.1.

Silicea is an important remedy for the connective tissue and is characteristically indicated in weakness of that tissue with giving-way of limbs, lack of strength and backbone, trembling of the limbs (especially the arms), stiffness of the back and

limbs, but also in numerous other symptoms of exhaustion and weakness, when in many cases the patient exhibits a lack of vital heat, even when he is moving about, and is sensitive to cold air, especially when the head is uncovered. However, there is relief from covering the head warmly, especially in neuralgias (left trigeminal neu- ralgia is typical in many cases). The whole nervous system seems to be in the grip of a certain weakness, with a nervous, irritated, timorous and undecided state of mind. Silicea is also frequently indicated in undernourished children, with a distended abdomen and emaciation of the extremities as a result of diseased mesenteric glands; the eyes are sunken and the face is typically lean, giving the child the appearance of an old man. The weakness is often so great that the children can hardly pass a stool; indeed, it emerges, but then slips back in again. On the other hand there may be in- transigent diarrhoea, especially during dentition or in the heat of summer, other remedies such as Veratrum, Pulsatilla, Mercurius etc. not acting, but in such cases of typical failure to thrive the only remedy, or the supreme remedy, is Silicea. Silicea has certain relationships to Calcium Carbonicum, since it can be used in a similar way to the latter in children with head-sweats and deficient assimilation. On the other hand it is also related to Hepar Sulph. and to Calcium Sulphuricum, being used in suppurations above all when the pus has discharged and the healing now needs to take place from within outwards. Thus Silicea is an important remedy in suppurative

fistulas.

Glandular swellings also call for Silicea, especially of the sub-mandibular glands and tonsils, and also in the axillae, neck, throat, ear and the inguinal area, if Calcium Carbonicum does not have the desired effect.

There may also be a general hyperaesthesia of the skin, associated with violent itching, scarcely relieved by scratching, and also itching on the scalp with falling out of the hair, and pustular eruptions on the forehead, back, chest and arms. As in Hepar Sulph., small skin wounds are slow to heal and they suppurate. Ganglia on the back of the hand are also an indication for Silicea.

A hypersensitivity of the sense of smell, associated with itching in the nose, in- flammations of the nasal mucosa, blowing out of bloody mucus and sinusitis can constitute an indication for Silicea, especially if Calcium Carbonicum or Hepar Sulph. has previously been given.

Silicea is eminently suited to so-called dyscrasias, such as are found in tuberculo- sis, gout, rickets and in pre-cancerous states, but a further therapeutic indication may be provided by pains in joints and muscles, neuralgia which is worse at night, twitching and trembling of the limbs with great weakness, chronically suppurating fistulae in the ears, chronic eye conditions with photophobia, stomatitis with ulcer- ated gums, tuberculosis of the mesenteric glands, swelling of the hilar glands, rectal fistulae and leucorrhoea. Silicea is therefore indicated in impregnation phases which attempt a regressive transformation into reaction phases.

Particular emphasis should also be given to the action of Silicea on offensive foot- sweat, in many cases accompanied by general heavy sweating of the whole body (smelling sour at night).

A further important symptom is bleeding from the nipple, also during breast-feed- ing.

Typical indications go to make up the following symptom-picture:

1. Weakness of connective tissue, rickets. Tuberculosis of the hilar and mesenteric glands.
   1. Disorders of nutrition with diarrhoea and failure to thrive. Painless glandular swellings on the neck, behind the ears, in the axillae and inguinal area.
   1. Thin, acrid discharges. Suppurative fistulae in otitis media, anal fistulae, in surgi- cal wounds etc., skin slow to heal.
   1. General chilliness and sensitivity to cold air, especially draughts, must cover the head warmly, above all in tendency towards headaches and neuralgia. (Left trigeminal nerve often affected.)
   1. Sour sweating of the head and feet with soreness between the toes (feet offen- sive). Silicea can cure complaints arising from suppressed sweat, or bring out the sweat again.
   1. Nervous irritation and timidity. Indecision, acquiescence, lack of courage.
   1. 7.   Bleeding from the nipple during breast-feeding (important symptom in any case, which cannot be cured by any other remedy).
   1. 8.   Pustular skin eruptions and urticaria. Acne vulgaris. Pruritus, scarcely relieved by scratching. Hyperaesthesia of the skin to touch.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Acidum silicium, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for silicea: chronic inflammations; suppuration and fistula development afflicting the skin, the lymph glands, the mucosae, the bones, and the joints; tissue weakness in the ligamentous apparatus of the bones and joints; proliferation of tissue (hyper- blastosis); mental exhaustion.

The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower of Thymus ser- pyllum L., which blossoms in sunny alpine meadows and pastures. N.O. Labiatae.

The action of thyme is based on its essential oil and the bitter principle, serpyllin, which it contains, among other things. Thyme is used not only in coughs and ca- tarrhal colds, acting as an expectorant and soothing the cough, including that of whooping cough, but it also has a particularly calming effect on nervous irritations, such as those which occur following worm-infestation.

Typical of the Thymus Serpyllum patient is the special effect on the sexual organs, with lascivious, fantastic dreams accompanying irritability, moodiness and a lack of energy. There is also a pain resulting from tiredness, felt in the loins and aggravated by mental or physical exertion, particularly after excessive nocturnal seminal emis- sions with lustful dreams and possibly priapism.

Also typical is a burning pain on urination, with subsequent dribbling of urine, also frequency of urination with urine which is high in urates and low in phosphates.

Generally speaking, Serpyllum is used primarily in combination remedies in order to strengthen the action of the other ingredients. (E. Bürgi’s synergistic principle.)

The attenuations are prepared from Serotonin, 3-(2-aminoethyl)-indol-5-ol, C₁₀H₁₂N₂O, MW: 176.2.

Serotonin is used within the context of anti-homotoxic methodology, in states of shock, states of cerebral excitement, acute mental confusion, organic nervous dis- eases, also experimentally in schizophrenia and possibly epilepsy, in order to stimu- late an arousal of the body’s own detoxifying mechanisms, within the context of the Law of Similars and the Reversal effect, possibly in alternation with other mediators such as Histamine, Adrenalin, Acetylcholine etc.

The attenuations are prepared from the dried secretion of the inkgland of the cuttle- fish, Sepia officinalis L., which inhabits the Mediterranean, the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. N.O. Sepiidae.

Sepia is one of the most frequently needed homoeopathic remedies, and is mainly suitable for the treatment of chronic or longer lasting conditions and also of dyscrasias (i.e. both cellular and also chronic humoral phases, e.g. chronic eczemas, chronic discharges such as leucorrhoea and post-gonorrhoeal). There is also a typical weakness and exhaustion running through the whole remedy.

Complaints are generally worse in the warmth, in rooms which are hot and crowd- ed, and in hot weather. An amelioration occurs in the course of the afternoon, whilst otherwise there are aggravations in the morning and evenings, making Sepia to some extent a combination of Nux Vomica (morning aggravation) and Pulsatilla (evening aggravation). The general state of the patient is better on motion (as in Pulsatilla), whilst certain complaints, such as headaches and lower abdominal complaints with the typical bearing-down sensation, are worse on motion.

A prominent symptom is the indifference towards business and family, as is also found in Sulphur; another symptom which it has in common with Sulphur is the sen- sation of weakness in the stomach, which is not relieved after eating.

In common with Pulsatilla, Sepia has a burning, throbbing pain in the stomach, and also the sensation as of a dumpling or stone in the stomach. Sepia frequently has a sensation of general heaviness, and that of a large lump, e.g. in the rectum, this symptom not being relieved after defaecation. In the uterus there is also a bearing- down sensation and feeling of heaviness, so that female patients feel the need to cross the legs, to prevent prolapse. In many cases there is a yellowish-green, foetid and excoriating leucorrhoea.

In the lower abdomen there may also be pains similar to labour-pains, with respi- ratory constriction and bearing-down, associated with erosions of the uterus. Gener- ally there appears to be congestion in the pelvic organs, which may find expression not only in uterine but also in rectal prolapse. This sensation of bearing-down and fullness may also be found in the urinary organs, with the symptom of pressure on the bladder and frequent passing of urine with flatulence in the lower abdomen. The urine contains a sediment like clay, and may also be very offensive. In enuresis, the bed-wetting which requires Sepia usually takes place during first sleep.

Although the characteristic Sepia sensations are of fullness or of a ball, the stom- ach pain may however also have an unpleasant sensation of emptiness, or a “gone” sensation, with faint weakness, the patient feeling deathly and wretched. Hypereme- sis gravidarum also frequently responds fabourably to Sepia if (as in Colchicum), even the smell of food causes nausea.

In constipation Sepia has a characteristic feeling as of a weight or a ball in the rec- tum. Often the stool cannot be passed without manual assistance. Nash describes as

a symptom a seeping of moisture from the anus, which is also covered by Antimoni- um Crudum.

Sepia also has a degree of aggravation from milk, e.g. when milk leads to vomit- ing with diarrhoea.

Worthy of particular note are the skin symptoms of Sepia, namely soreness, itch- ing which is frequently transformed into burning as a result of scratching (cf. Sul- phur), and above all, localisation in the creases of the knees. There may also be large, suppurating pustules, which repeatedly relapse, and also, particularly, brown patches, on the face, chest and abdomen, such as occur in chloasma gravidarum. However, other types of eruption also respond favourably to Sepia, such as vesicles and scabies-like conditions – particularly if Sulphur has previously been given and has not completed the cure. The skin symptoms do not need to be expressed solely in the form of pustules, eczema, neurodermitis or herpes, but may be of a weaker character, such as yellowish-brown scaly patches, or sloughing of the epidermis in round patches on the hands and fingers, possibly associated with painless ulcers.

As is obvious from the foregoing symptoms, Sepia is a gynaecological remedy, and also particularly indicated in the menopause. Hot flushes with sweating and weakness are characteristic of Sepia (likewise Sulphur and possibly Lachesis), the typical symptoms of pelvic congestion often being found in Sepia, while the hands and feet tend to be alternately hot and cold. Thus Sepia is one of the most important remedies for the complaints of the menopause, especially as further symptoms, such as the great exhaustion, are also typical of climacteric neuroses.

Sepia can also have a very favourable action on hemicrania and migraine-like states, e.g. also in cervical migraine, where the factor of exhaustion is also involved. Indifference towards business and family is chracteristic of Sepia, and is likewise often found in the menopause. There may also be a hypersensitivity in various parts of the body, with a tendency to strain oneself by lifting things awkwardly or to- wards sprains. This may result in avoidance of energetic movements or of physical and mental activity. Comparatively short walks may also result in severe exhaustion. In spite of the great sleepiness, especially during the daytime, so that the patient sometimes falls asleep while sitting up, at night there may be restless sleep with fre- quent waking, lively dreams and starting up in fright. Apart from angry irritability, there may possibly be deep despondency (especially in the evenings), with a depres- sive tendency and worried brooding over one’s own state of health. With all this there may also be unsociability, loss of interest, and indifference, and possibly also nervousness, intensity of feeling, and timidity with feelings of fear. In the mornings, when the patient wakes unrefreshed, the eyelids may be stiff and heavy and there may be ptosis.

Sepia has typically copious sweating, e.g. after the hot flushes, but also on the genitalia. Also characteristic of Sepia are acute and chronic catarrhs of the nose, pharynx and larynx with a violent tickling cough and possibly considerable dis- charge of mucus or else stopped coryza with a sensation of dryness in the nose.

If we sum up the main symptoms of Sepia, the result is the following remedy- picture:

1. Complaints aggravated in warmth and hot weather and in crowded rooms, also first thing in the morning and in the evening. Amelioration in the course of the af- ternoon and generally from motion (except complaints of head and lower ab- domen).
2. Menopausal complaints with hot flushes, emotional depression and irritability (alternating). Tearfulness, hypersensitivity, and indifference (to business and fam- ily). General weakness, every movement causing outbreaks of sweating. Feeling of faintness.
3. Sensitive skin with severe itching and eurptions, especially in the creases of the joints, dry or moist or herpetic eruptions. Skin of the hands is sloughed off in great patches. Brown patches. Chloasma gravidarum with yellow “saddle” across the nose. Pityriasis. Yellowish, wan, pale complexion with yellow patches and yellow discoloration of the sclera.
4. Offensive sweat on the genitalia with bearing-down in the lower abdomen (sensa- tion of a ball), must cross the legs to prevent protrusion. Uterine prolapse.
5. Yellowish-green leucorrhoea, offensive and excoriating in cervical erosion. Menses mostly late and scanty. Menopause.
6. Various types of catarrh with discharge of purulent and bloody, foul-smelling masses. Expectoration of salty-tasting mucus. Stopped coryza. Tickling cough in catarrhs of the nose, pharynx and larynx. Post-gonorrhoeal leucorrhoea.
7. Pulsating, bursting headaches, pains shooting upwards and from within outwards, possibly only in the occiput or above one eye. Migraine, worse from movement, bending down, noise and in the morning. A possible sensation of coldness on the vertex, and of dryness in the eyes (in the presence of other Sepia symptoms).
8. General exhaustion and weakness; restless limbs, never still, with neuralgic com- plaints. (Osteochondrosis.)
9. Nocturnal enuresis.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Sepia officinalis, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for sepia: various skin diseases, especially of chronic nature; inflammations and other disorders of the digestive organs; an extensive variety of disturbances of the female reproductive organs; inflammations of the urinary organs; disorders in voiding from the urinary bladder; rheumatic diseases; varicose veins; headaches, insomnia; condi- tions of exhaustion, disorders of emotional or otherwise psychological nature; de- pressive emotional discord or upset.

The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower of Senecio memorensis ssp. fuchsii (C. C. Gmel.) Celak., which flowers in mountain woodlands of Europe. N.O. Compositae.

Senecio Fuchsii is used, as in folk-medicine, for various nervous complaints, and in particular for gynaecological problems and in the menopause. Its main area of in- dication covers amenorrhoea, dysmenorrhoea, irregular menstruation with irritation of the bladder. All complaints are ameliorated by the onset of the period.

There is also a favourable action in leucorrhoea. Senecio Fuchsii is used mainly in combination with other homoeopathic remedies which have a similar action.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Senecio memorensis, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for senecio fuchsii: haemorrhages.

The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh leaves, gathered before flowering, of the plant Sempervivum tectorum L. ssp. tectorum, a native of Europe and Asia.

N.O. Crassulaceae.

The main indications are:

Pre-cancerous state. Neoplasm phases.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Sempervivum tectorum, pub- lished the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for sempervivum tectorum: nodular hardening in the skin, tongue, and breast; warts.

The attenuations are prepared from amorphous Selenium, Se, AW: 79.0.

Selenium has similar effects to those of Sulphur, but they are directed more to- wards the nervous system. There is characteristic general weakness, tiredness and exhaustion after physical and mental exertion, with drowsiness, but at night only light cat-naps, as in Sulphur. Hot weather is also debilitating. Sleep is not refreshing. Alcohol consumption is particularly likely to have ill-effects, especially wine. Sele- nium is also indicated for consequences of excessive tea-drinking.

Nervous exhaustion is characteristic, with forgetfulness and inability to cope with mental work, which produces fatigue. There may also be pains in all the limbs, with intolerance of draughts. Stabbing nervous headaches which increase with the heat of the sun, hypersensitivity to smells, complaints which recur every afternoon, episodes of vertigo and unsteadiness, possibly with symptoms of collapse, anxious sweating

and a pale, sunken face, nausea and vomiting, also after breakfeast and lunch; these all respond to Selenium.

There may also be an enlargement of the liver with loss of appetite and tongue coated white, also with itching in the region of the liver and in folds of the skin. Constipation can be so marked that the stool can scarcely be passed without assis- tance, blood and mucus possibly being passed with it.

Particlularly characteristic of Selenium are seminal emissions while the penis is relaxed, and also unconscious dribbling of semen during sleep, particularly when masturbation is practised. There may also be impotence and premature ejaculation with the penis relaxed, as well as prostatitis with the sensation of a foreign body in the anus and painful stinging deep in the urethra after micturition. There may be ca- tarrh of the bladder, with dribbling of urine after urination and involuntary passage of urine while walking.

Selenium has a characteristic emaciation of the face, hands and thighs. Walking may be difficult, with a certain lameness, and a fear of becoming completely paral- ysed.

Mention must also be made of the mucosal affections which are improved by Se- lenium, namely nervous coryza, coming and going as in Silicea, and possible loss of smell lasting for weeks with nasal congestion; likewise hoarseness of singers, oc- curring right at the beginning of the song, or also following over-use of the voice, possibly associated with blood-streaked expectoration.

Selenium patients have a desire for stimulants, and like to get drunk, which how- ever leads to a tremendous aggravation of their complaints. They wake at night with hunger.

On account of its particularly strong indications in the genito-urinary sphere, Se- lenium was formerly one of the chief remedies in chronic, post-gonorrhoeal urethri- tis, along with Sepia, Kali Iodatum and Sulphur.

Mention must also be made of the usefulness of Selenium in falling out of the hair, certain relationships becoming apparent here with Sulphur, and particularly with Thallium (Sulphuricum).

To sum up, we have the following main symptoms:

1. General weakness and lack of energy. Mental concentration impossible. Exhaus- tion after every physical and mental exertion.
2. Periodic headaches, especially above the left eye, possibly occurring after sleep (cf. Lachesis). Cat-naps (cf. Sulphur).
3. Emaciation of face, hands and thighs. Eruption in the liver-region and in creases of the hands (inter-digital).
4. Aggravation from consumption of tea and wine, also from sleeping and lying down, from hot weather, heat of the sun and draughts. Frequently ameliorated by polyuria.
5. Neurasthenia after exhausting illnesses (retoxic phases), after sexual excesses, masturbation with sexual excitement. Lack of energy withal. Impotence. Prostat- orrhoea. Prostatitis. Dribbling of urine while walking.
6. Hoarseness of singers and speakers. Laryngitis with blood-streaked sputum.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Selenium amorphum, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for selenium: rashes; greasy skin; inflammations of the upper respiratory passages; digestive insufficiency; general weakness and debilitation.

The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower of Sedum acre L., a native of Europe, Asia and North America. N.O. Crassulaceae.

The main indications are:

Haemorrhoidal complaints. Anal fissure. Pre-cancerous state.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Sedum acre, published the fol- lowing indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for sedum acre: rectal pain.
