Materia medica is a Latin term from the history of pharmacy for the body of collected knowledge about the therapeutic properties of any substance used for healing. The term derives from the title of a work by the Ancient Greek physician Pedanius Dioscorides in the 1st century AD. The term materia medica was used from the period of the Roman Empire until the 20th century but has now been generally replaced in medical education contexts by the term pharmacology. The term survives in the title of the British Medical Journal’s Materia Non Medica column.
Traumeel S 10-25 drops 3-6 times daily or according to the following system: on the 1st day 5-8 drops 1/4 hourly, on the 2nd day 1/2 hourly, on the 3rd day hourly; from the 4th day 20-30 drops 3 times daily.
Traumeel S possesses anti-exudative (= decreasing swelling), anti-inflammatory and regenerative action.
Cimicifuga-Homaccord (in general for the after-effects of injuries; specifically also for chronic dislocation of the ankle joint).
Veratrum-Homaccord for ruptured muscles and shock (to be administered without fail after all injuries: massive initial-dose therapy).
Traumeel S ointment applied locally, on wounds where the skin is not broken. Traumeel S ointment may cause discomfort when applied on open wounds due to its Arnica content. For open wounds, apply Calendula-Salbe-Heel S ointment.
Injection therapy
Traumeel S i.v., i.m., s.c., possibly over the site of the injury; in the case of fractures of the skull, together with Vertigoheel i.v. or i.m. (mixed injections)
Vomitusheel 8-10 drops every 1/4 hour or 1 suppository every 1-2 hours. Gastricumeel after over-eating, consuming sutoxins, too cold or poisonous foodstuffs, as well as for acetonaemic vomit.
possibly the above preparations taken together 2-4-6 times daily. Aesculus compositum (peripheral circulation) 8-10 drops 3-6 times daily. Injection therapy
Animal diseases react to Heel biotherapeutical and antihomotoxic agents with visible success, the objections occasionally raised being invalidated, i.e. that in the application of high dilution medicaments the effect is based predominantly on suggestion. The indications and methods of administration are the same as in human medicine.
Coenzyme compositum, possibly also the collective pack of catalysts of the citric acid cycle (action on the enzyme system), possibly also Tonsilla compositum (powerful stimulating effect on the defensive system, especially in Iymphatic children), possibly combined with Echinacea compositum (forte) S or alternating with Mucosa compositum (action on the mucous membrane), otherwise also Oculus suis-Injeel or Cornea suis-Injeel once weekly i.m., s.c., as well as the progressive auto-sanguis therapy with the above mentioned preparations.
(These relate always to impregnation phases, as the penetration of the virus into the cell is a typical example of an impregnation effect.)
In the cell, the virus can remain in an eclipsed stage for an indefinite period. The true phenomena of the viral disease appear only when the virus multiplies in the cell, destroying it, i.e. when the visible struggle of the organism with the virus takes place. The intracellular virus phase appears, therefore, as regressive vicariation in the stage of the reaction phase and becomes accessible to therapy.
The principal remedies are:
Schwef-Heel 8-10 drops at 8 a.m., 12 noon and 4 p.m.
possibly both preparations taken together 2-4-6 times daily.
In addition, the biotherapeutic agents otherwise indicated symptomatically are administered, e.g. Apis-Homaccord and Belladonna-Homaccord. In particular Traumeel S, Osteoheel S, Cruroheel S, Angin-Heel S and Mercurius-Heel S, as well as Naso-Heel S (coryza of viral origin) display antiviral action here, due to their mercury content.
Injection therapy
Engystol N is the principal remedy for all virus diseases, i.m., s.c., i.d., i.v. Traumeel S and Echinacea compositum (forte) S interposed at intervals. Baptisia-Injeel (forte) S can be blended in advantageously for septiform pictures. Arsenicum album-Injeel (forte) S often indicated for prostration.
Diphtherinum-Injeel, Psorinum-Injeel, Tuberculinum-Injeel, Mastoiditis-Nosode-Injeel, Grippe-Nosode-Injeel etc. as nosode therapy. Always administer the nosode which relates to an earlier retoxically inhibited reaction phase, etc. Otherwise also Coenzymecompositum,Ubichinon compositum and possibly Glyoxal compositum (paresis), otherwise also Hepar compositum (stimulation of the detoxicating hepatic function) as well as Cerebrum compositum (cerebral and neural remedy) i.m., s.c., i.d.
Para-Benzochinon-Injeel, otherwise quinones, Glyoxal-Injeel, Methylglyoxal-Injeel etc. for degenerative symptoms (once s.c.).
