The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Tuberculinum BURNETT Nosode, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (Ger- man Federal Gazette) for bacillinum: inflammations of the respiratory passages; skin disorders; headaches; general weakness and debilitation.

The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh aerial parts of the flowering plant which grows in all areas of the temperate zone. Avena sativa L. N.O. Gramineae.

Nervous exhaustion. Recommended in addictions.

Avena Sativa is generally recommended in convalescence, also in mental exhaus- tion after over-exertion (of scholars and those who do brain-work) generally, as well as after sexual excesses e.g. after masturbation in youth.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Avena sativa, published the fol- lowing indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for avena sativa: conditions of exhaustion; insomnia; excessive strain following ill- nesses.

The attenuations are prepared from Sodium tetrachloroaurate(III), NaAuCl₄ · 2 H₂O, MW: 397.8.

Aurum Muriaticum Natronatum has the same indications as Aurum Metallicum. Nash recommends Aurum Muriaticum Natronatum in periodic liver disturbances, and jaundice, when alternating white and dark stools are present.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Natrium tetrachloroauratum, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Fed- eral Gazette) for aurum muriaticum natronatum: inflammations and hardening of female reproductive organs; chronic liver disorders.

The attenuations are prepared from a mixture of Gold(I)-iodide and Gold(III)-io- dide. The content of Au, AW: 197.0, corresponds with the value given in the current Pharmacopoeia.

Chronic inveterate syphilis. Ozaena. Lupus. Keratitis. Mastoiditis. Arterio- sclerosis. Endometritis. Ovarian cysts. Formation of fibroids. Aortic aneurysms.

Aurum Iodatum should always be used, even if only as an intercurrent remedy, when constitutionally there appears to be syphilitic involvement in such conditions as arteriosclerosis (e.g. in apoplexy in youth), heart conditions, angina pectoris, dis- turbances in coronary circulation.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Aurum iodatum, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for aurum iodatum: hypertension; complaints associated with arteriosclerosis; harden- ing of glandular organs.

The attenuations are prepared from triturated metallic gold powder, Au. In the preparation of Aurum colloidale, colloid gold is used.

The possession of Aurum, or metallic gold, is the goal of the efforts of a greater part of mankind, because of its apparent ability to provide the greatest happiness on earth. However, in its symptom-picture as a remedy, it is characterised by just the opposite: deepest depression, suicidal tendencies and disgust with life. This depres- sive mood-imbalance is the main indication for the use of Aurum. Often coupled with it are heart-complaints, also with missed heart-beats and pressure and constric- tion of the chest. Palpitations are usually hard and pumping, linked with a visible beating of the arteries in neck and temples, with anxiety-states and congestion of blood in the chest. Aurum is also indicated in bone-conditions, such as occur in ter- tiary syphilis, in ozaena and similar nasal conditions involving inflammation, desquamation and possibly offensive discharges. Pains in the bones are susceptible to Aurum above all if they are of syphilitic origin. A further indication for Aurum is hemianopia, the patient seeing only one half of the object. It may also be indicated in corneal ulcer. Aurum is also recommended in uterine fibroids and indurations of other organs (such as testes) and in prostatorrhoea and problems of the inguinal glands.

The following is a summary of the leading symptoms:

1. Deep emotional depression with suicidal tendency and disgust of life.
2. Hypertension, surges of blood to the chest, palpitations.
3. Caries of the bones.
4. Hemianopia, corneal ulcer.
5. Uterine fibroids, other indurations.
6. Prostatorrhoea.

Besides metallic gold, its salts also play an important part in therapy.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Aurum metallicum, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for aurum: mucosal suppuration; inflammation of bones and periosteum; hypertension; angiosclerosis; angina pectoris; hardening of glandular organs; de- pressive emotional discord or upset.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Aurum colloidale, published the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for aurum colloidale: mucosal suppuration; inflammation of bones and periosteum; angiosclerosis; angina pectoris; hardening of glandular organs; depressive emotion- al discord or upset.

The attenuations are prepared from Atropine sulphate, C₃₄H₄₈N₂O₁₀S (3a-D,L- Tropoyloxytropanium sulphate), MW: 694.9.

It acts like Belladonna, but is to be preferred in neuralgias, painful states, whoop- ing cough, migraine, optical illusions (everything appears larger than it is), biliary colic, and epilepsy. It should be used if Belladonna fails.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Atropinum sulphuricum, pub- lished the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for atropinum sulfuricum: congestive inflammation of the upper respira- tory passages; inflammations of the organs of elimination, including the skin.

The attenuations are prepared from the disodium salt of adenosine-5’-triphos- phate, C₁₀H₁₄N₅Na₂O₁₃P₃, MW: 551.2.

Damage to the energy-utilising systems (Citric Acid cycle and others), especially iatrogenic damage.
