    The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Palladium metallicum, pub- lished the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for palladium: ovarian diseases; prolapse of the uterus; sciatica; behav- ioural disorders.

  • Paeonia Officinalis – Peony

    The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh root, gathered in spring, of the plant Paeonia officinalis L., a native of Southern Europe and cultivated in many places for decoration. N.O. Paeoniceae.

    The main indications are:

    Haemorrhoids and anal fissures.

  • Oxyuris Nosode – Threadworm Nosode

    The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from threadworms (Oxyur vermicu- laris/Enterobius vermicularis).

    The condition provoked by Oxyuris vermicularis (enterobiasis), found with partic- ular frequency in children, is characterised by tormenting itching of the anus (espe- cially in the evening when going to sleep, and at night), and by proctitis, urging for stool, and possibly also by anal eczema, bed-wetting and vulvitis, and by nervous disorders. Occasionally ulceration of the large intestine and appendicitis oxyurica are seen, the latter caused by immature worms tunnelling into the intestinal wall.

    Breeding females creep out of the anus during sleep and lay their eggs in the anal folds, where the most favourable conditions for embryonic development are to be found, (moisture, temperature of 30°–36°C), and from the eggs larvae hatch in a few hours, capable of infection.

    Although it may be assumed that the favourable “soil” for the worms’ develop- ment is removed by use of this nosode, in accordance with the Law of Similiars it should also develop a favourable action against bed-wetting, vulvitis and anal eczema, and also against the nervous irritative states of children who wake with a start in the night, are overly nervous, cry very much and suffer from tics.

  • Oxalis Acetosella – Wood Sorrel

    The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower of Oxalis ace- tosella L., a native of Europe and Northern Asia. N.O. Oxalidaceae.

Vomiting of quantities of matter with the sourness of vinegar, so that the teeth feel blunt (e.g. in duodenal and gastric ulcer).
