  • Gentiana Lutea – Yellow Gentian

    The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh root of the plant, Gentiana lutea L., which is found in the European alps. N.O. Gentianaceae.

    Essential indications are:

    Chronic gastritis. Flatulence. Diarrhoea.

    The main action of the remedy is aimed at the digestive organs, with dryness of the mouth, sticky saliva, an earthy taste, eructations, nausea, retching and vomiting. Another indication is a feeling of pressure and heaviness in the stomach, with dis- tension in the stomach region and a constricted sensation, as if bound up, distension with abdominal pains and discharge of foetid flatus, also colicky pains with urging for stool and continual discharge of wind with eructations. The stools are usually preceded by intestinal colic, loose, soft and light yellow.

    There is also increased excretion of urine.

    The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Gentiana lutea, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for gentiana lutea: digestive disorders.

  • Gelsemium – Yellow Jasmine

    The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh rootstock of the plant, Gelsemium sempervirens [L.] Jaume St.-Hil., which grows on river banks in the West of North and Central America. N.O. Loganiaceae.

    The tincture obtained from wild jasmine (Gelsemium sempervirens) is also used in general medicine as a nerve remedy. In addition the symptoms obtained from the homoeopathic proving on healthy people give us a typical remedy picture, with ref- erence to numerous diseases, particularly diseases of the nervous system, or in which it is involved, so that Gelsemium occupies a position of the first rank in ho- moeopathic prescribing.

    Nash picks out as the most prominent symptom the complete relaxation and ex- haustion of the entire muscular system, with partial or complete paralysis of the motor nerves, as though the muscles would no longer obey the will. The first symp- tom to occur in this is a feeling of relaxation and general fatigue, with the desire to lie down. The pulse is quickened by the slightest movement. The legs tremble when walking. The hands and tongue also tremble with weakness, so that Gelsemium has also been called the “trembling remedy”. The weakness is further characterised by ptosis of the eyelids, disturbances in speech and difficulty in swallowing, as may occur in bulbar palsy. Violent congestions of the head frequently occur, associated with headaches and neuralgias, possibly of the migraine variety, in which the pains may be dull or sudden or shooting, possibly linked with convulsions. The face may be dark red. In many cases the pains rise from the nape of the neck up over the head, with the sensation of a band around the head.

    Gelsemium patients are generally sluggish, sleepy and avoid movement. There is also an inability to concentrate. The patients can neither think clearly nor focus their attention on a particular point. The sleep is restless and full of dreams, as if in a stu- por. However, there may also be sleeplessness on account of the lively flow of thoughts, with a compensating sleepiness by day and long, deep sleep in the morn- ing. (cf. Nux Vomica).

    Nervous, feverish illnesses are brought about by sudden excitement, bad news, fright and forebodings, and in such cases sudden diarrhoea may occur as a natural regressive vicariation. Stage-fright is also an indication for Gelsemium. Vertigo is in- fluenced by Gelsemium if it is accompanied by dimness of sight, double vision and a sensation of intoxication. Headaches are often relieved by copious urination. Nau- sea may also be linked with the headache.

    Gelsemium is often indicated as a fever remedy, a certain exhaustion being pres- ent, with drowsiness and congestion of the brain as in typhoid fevers, but without the intensity of Belladonna. A shivering sensation, with the shivers running up and down the spine, is also an indication for Gelsemium, (otherwise principally for Natrum Muriaticum).

    Gelsemium is quite particularly indicated in states of paralysis, e.g. after apoplexy or also in weakness of the bladder and urinary incontinence; also in post-diphtherit- ic paralysis. The stools are copious and yellow, often associated with cramp in the anal sphincter and with haemorrhoidal pains. Gelsemium is also indicated in dys- menorrhoea and in violent migraines which set in one day before the menses begin, accompanied by vomiting.

    Dahlke recommends Gelsemium in any kind of paralysis, also in influenzal ca- tarrhs and when complaints are aggravated in warm, humid weather and in the heat of summer. Gelsemium is also recommended in typhoid or bilious fevers preceded by disturbances of vision, in migraines preceded by blindness, in convulsions of children and during the puerperium and when there is a hysterical tendency to swings of mood, in functional heart problems (fear, as if something were about to happen), in diarrhoea (resulting from stage-fright, exam-failure etc.), in nervous sleeplessness and in glaucoma.

    Gelsemium is indicated in colds when there is thin, fluent nasal discharge and bloody mucus is blown out.

    The following is a summary of the symptoms occuring frequently in practice, which Gelsemium has proved effective in helping:

    1. Swimming in the head and vertigo with a drunken feeling.
    2. Typhoid fever with shivering, relaxation and exhaustion.
    3. Migraines and headaches, as if there were a band around the forehead, relieved by copious urination. Inability to concentrate. Numbed state.
    4. Nervous paralysis after diphtheria, apoplexy, etc. Speech impaired, with trem- bling, heavy tongue. Swallowing difficult, may be tried in bulbar palsy.
    5. Trembling and states of anxiety in the heart, as if it would stop beating.
    6. Incontinence of urine. Dysmenorrhoea. Diarrhoea after excitement. Stage-fright.
    7. Colds with bloodstained mucus blown from the nose.

    The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Gelsemium sempervirens, pub- lished the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for gelsemium: headaches; nervous disorders; infectious diseases; paraly- sis; spasmodic conditions.

  • Gastritis Nosode

    The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from surgigally removed inflamed gastric mucosa.

    The main indications are:

    Chronic gastritis (also lack of acid). Pre-cancerous state of the stomach. Also in lowered resistance, if a damaged stomach in a cellular phase cannot produce the nec- essary acid valencies in the event of inflammations, i.e. particularly where there is a tendency to septic development.

  • Galphimia

    The mother tincture is prepared from the dried leaves and flowers of the plant, Thryallis glauca [Poir.] O. Kuntze, which grows wild in Mexico. N.O. Malpighi- aceae.

    The main indications are:

    Allergies. Asthma. Vasomotor rhinitis. Neurodermitis. Hay fever.

    The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Thryallis glauca, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for galphimia: dermal and mucosal allergies.

  • Galium Aparine – Cleavers/Goose-Grass

    The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower of Galium aparine L., very commonly found in the Northern hemisphere. N.O. Rubiaceae.

    Galium Aparine is used both internally and externally as a folk-remedy against cancer, and also against glandular swellings and ulcers.

    Galium Aparine also acts especially on the urinary system and is said to be able to dissolve renal calculi. Hale mentions the removal of a hard, nodulated tumour of the tongue in a 60-year-old woman.

    According to Boericke, Galium Aparine is also useful in oedema, dysuria and cys- titis, and is said to have the power of suspending or modifying the further develop- ment of a carcinoma. Its use in cancerous ulcers and nodular tumours of the tongue has been clinically verified. It has an influence on old skin complaints and scurvy. It also favours healthy granulation tissue on ulcerated surfaces.

    Particularly in conjunction with other biological anti-cancer remedies and with ex- tracts of other varieties of Galium, Galium Aparine has a powerful effect in favour of regressive vicariation. In other words, when acute illness, skin eruptions, discharges, etc. have been suppressed, resulting in cellular phases, possibly also in degeneration and incipient neoplasm phases, it is able to reverse these phases in a biologically correct way, along the lines of regressive vicariation. Thus Galium has proved itself to be of great importance in geriatrics, regulating numerous basic autonomic func- tions which are disturbed to a greater or lesser degree, such as are typical of a pre- cancerous state and form the basis of numerous complaints of old age.

    The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Galium aparine, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for galium aparine: nephrolithiasis; ulceration, especially of the tongue.

  • Fumaricum Acidum – Fumaric Acid

    The attenuations are prepared from Fumaric acid, C4H4O4, MW: 116.1.

    An active factor in the Citric Acid cycle and in redox systems. All impregnation phases, also asthma, angina pectoris, pruritus, skin diseases, psoriasis, pre-cancerous states and in neoplasm phases (especially in the early stages), to improve cell-respi- ration. Hay fever. Allergies. Has a diuretic effect.

    The patients who need Fumaric Acid are mostly pasty, puffy and short of breath, with greasy skin and hair and heart problems, accompanied by a reduction in kidney function and a strong tendency to perspiration, somewhat similar to the picture of Kali Carbonicum.

    Malic Acid and Fumaric Acid should always be injected together, in order to avoid disturbances in the following chain of the Citric Acid cycle.

    Like all Citric Acid cycle catalysts, Fumaric Acid has a regulating action on internal respiration, for example in asthma, hay fever and in head symptoms which are better for fresh air (cf. Pulsatilla), and also in cyanotic puffiness of the face with vertigo.

    It has disturbances in the metabolisation of lipids and steroids, with premature ar- teriosclerosis. Here it is recommended in combination with Malic Acid for the treat- ment of hypertension, also for the treatment and prevention of embolism.

    The symptoms have a certain similarity with those of Baryta Oxalsuccinica. The difference between them is that in Fumaric Acid the symptoms appear suddenly, frequently fluctuate and are worse after every meal, almost always with hypertonic headaches or striking redness of the skin, whereas Baryta Oxalsuccinica is distin- guished by its insidiousness, its sluggish reaction and its less violent exudative processes.

    It is also related to the production of bile, formation of gallstones, pancreatic func- tion and diseases of the kidneys, particularly nephrosis with hypertension and dark

    red cyanotic facial colouring and a tendency to collapse, with cold sweat. If the urine stands for a long time, a greasy skin forms on the surface (cf. Phosphoricum Acidum). Eczema and suppurations occur on the scrotum and the penis.

    Fumaric Acid can also be of service in inflammatory diseases of the genitalia, such as oophoritis, orchitis, parametritis, and in acrid leucorrhoea and female infer- tility. It should particularly be thought of in such cases if emotional changes occur before the periods, also in vomiting during pregnancy with violent headache and raised blood-pressure. Menopausal hot flushes can also be favourably influenced by Fumaric Acid.

    The drug picture of Acidum fumaricum was composed in May 1995 by David Riley, M.D., Santa Fe (New Mexico), USA.
