The mother tincture is prepared from the hornet, Vespa crabro L. N.O. Vespidae.

The main indications are:

Left-sided oophoritis. Conjunctivitis. Chemosis.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Vespa crabro, published the fol- lowing indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for crabro vespa: inflammatory dermal affections; mucosal swelling; inflammation of the urinary organs; inflammation of the female reproductive organs.

The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from inactivated Coxsackie viruses of subgroups A₉ and B₄.

The main indications are:

Pyelonephritis, acute and chronic cystitis. Chronic sinusitis. Abacterial meningitis and headache. Asthma, circulatory disturbances. Valvular stenosis and heart-pains, damaged or strained myocardium or pericardium, sequelae of mumps, pancreatitis, hepatitis, nephritis, orchitis, oophoritis, pleurisy, abacterial meningitis or encephali- tis, possibly including pareses. Chronic conditions of the large intestine (spastic colon), especially in combination with Colon, Nux Vomica, Cantharis, etc. (See re- port by Dr. Schmidt on experiments with over 500 patients in “Biologische Medi- zin” 2, 160–161 (1973), and 5, 212–214 (1976).

The attenuations are prepared from Cortisone-21-acetate (17a,21-Dihydroxy-4- pregnene-3,11,20-trione-21-acetate) C₂₃H₃₀O₆, MW: 402.5 (Potentised allopathic compound).

The main indications are:

Damage to adrenal cortex, pituitary and connective tissue. Congenital adrenal hy- perplasia. Simmonds’ disease. Consequences of abuse of cortisone, and other iatro- genic damage. May also be tried in osteochondritis, weakness of joints (giving way), osteoporosis, Sudeck’s atrophy and others, and diseases being manifested in the con- nective tissue. May profitably be combined with Funiculus Umbilicalis and Silicea. The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Cortisonum, published the fol- lowing indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for cortisone: inflammations of the mucosae of the eye and of the respiratory organs; asthma; inflammation, ulceration, and bleeding of the mucosa of the alimentary tract; bone decalcification; disorders of the skin, blood, and vascular systems; be-

havioural disorders and emotional discord or upset.

The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh adrenal cortex of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).

Indications for the use of the isolated adrenal cortex in potency are: impregnation or degeneration phases (Selye’s phase of exhaustion), in stress-situations, e.g. also after toxic treatment such as chemotherapy and antibiotics, generally in phases where there is a lack of cortisone, e.g. in primary chronic polyarthritis, where suit- able supporting remedies may also be given if expedient.

The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh heart of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).

The main indications are:

Hypertension. Angia pectoris. Disturbances of the coronary circulation. Cardiac insufficiency. Athlete’s heart. Paroxysmal tachycardia. Recuperative treatment after infarction.

It serves no purpose to prescribe Cor (either in potency or in the form of living- cell injection) during acute decompensation. For this reason Cor should not be used directly after an infarction, but only a few weeks later (in recuperation), when the full muscular compensation has been restored.

The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh vitreous humour (the part between lens and retina) of the eye of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).

The main indications are:

Opacities of the vitreous humour. Glaucoma. Cataract.

The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared from the fresh pineal gland of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).

Corpus Pineale exhibits certain counterpoint actions to Pituitary. On the basis of experience gained from living-cell implants, the following indications have emerged.

Has a slowing-down effect on neoplasm phases. Bronchial asthma. May be tried experimentally in epilepsy and degeneration phases generally as a supporting or in- tercurrent remedy. Sydenham’s chorea. Papilloma of the bladder.

The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared using the fresh corpus luteum from the ovary of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).

The main indications are:

Disturbances of the female hormonal balance. Premature ageing. Menopause. Dis- turbances in the progress of pregnancy.

The attenuations of this sarcode are prepared using the fresh corneal tissue from the eye of a healthy pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).

The main indications are:

Corneal opacities. Astigmatism. Chronic ulceration of the cornea and chronic con- junctivitis.

The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts in flower, Convallaria majalis L., occurs in deciduous woodland in Europe, Asia and North America. N.O. Liliaceae.

The main indications are:

Weakness of myocardium. Endocarditis. Nervous palpitation. Athlete’s heart (hy- pertrophy). After abuse of tobacco.

Convallaria has had a homoeopathic proving and, apart from heart symptoms, it also has depression and irritability, especially when the prover was asked about something.

There is also a dull, heavy headache, which moves from the vertex to the temples, headache with fever, sleepiness on entering a warm room and restlessness during sleep.

On the front of the thigh there are little nodules, as from insect-bites, itching strongly.

There are also optical illusions while reading, with all the letters looking the same. There is a heaviness of the upper eyelids with a dull pain in the right eye and a pul- sating pain in the left ear with heat.

There is a typical sallow complexion with a sunken, Hippocratic facial expression. Further indications for Convallaria include rheumatic complaints in the loins, dull cutting pains below the inferior angle of the shoulder blade and, in the renal area, a rheumatic pain in the left elbow joint with numbness in the hand, and pains in the wrist; also cramps on the inner side of the right thigh, pains in the knees, cramps in

the right calf with sensation of numbness, and pain in the ankle.

Apart from dyspnoea with a feeling of faintness and palpitations, and great air- hunger on the slightest movement, the provers complained of a sensation of flutter-

ing in the heart on exertion, then flushing of the face, and of a sensation as if the heart were about to stop beating. Then it would suddenly beat strongly again, with a feeling of faintness.

In the digestive tract there is this striking symptom: fatty-tasting eructations; also nausea after meals with mucous vomiting, and a dull pain, similar to colic, in the left hypochondrium and umbilical region.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Convallaria majalis, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for convallaria majalis: arrhythmia; cardiac insufficiency.
