Category: Materia Materica

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.

  • Focal toxicoses

    (Usually neurodermal impregnation phases) (Main remedy: Traumeel S)

    On a devitalized tooth with granuloma formation, e.g., vegetative vascular nerves arise which come into contact with the homotoxins associated with the devitalization (arsenic and others). This process corresponds to an impregnation effect. In the case of scars, the resultant circulatory disturbances also have an impregnating effect.

    The consequent disorders correspond to focal toxicoses (reflexes as described by Reilly, Speransky and Ricker). The removal of such a focus is indicated, e.g. by tooth extraction. As the tonsils, as a result of repeated retoxic treatment of tonsillitis, can  also exhibit such impregnation foci, extirpation may also be indicated. Here, however, possibilities are offered of provoking regressive vicariation (tonsillitis), by means of which such impregnation phases in the tonsils can be disintegrated and cured. It should be attempted in every case to achieve these regressive vicariations and to effect a cure by means of the following prescription.

    Galium-Heel 8-10 drops at 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Traumeel S 1 tablet at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
