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.

  • Fever

    Inflammation phase
    Main remedies:Aconitum-Homaccord and
    Belladonna-Homaccord
    Secondary remedies:Gripp-Heel Viburcol
    Phase remedies:Echinacea compositum Traumeel

    Fever

    (Mainly mesenchymal reaction phase)

    Fever is a sign that the defensive system of the organism is engaged in a feverish struggle with homotoxins. Fever, therefore, should not be suppressed symptomatically but the biotherapeutics indicated (Gripp-Heel, Traumeel S, Arnica-Heel, Belladonna- Homaccord and, in particular, also Echinacea compositum (forte) S) are to be administered daily s.c., i.m. and possibly also i.v., so long as the fever persists. Lwoff demonstrated that viruses are destroyed  solely by a rise in temperature (by splitting the Iysosome membrane with the consequent fermentative decomposition of the virus) (Biologische Medizin No. 1, 1973, p. 172). R. Siegert (Marburg) recommends: “In no case of feverish virus infection should the body be set back with antipyretics or hormones of the steroid group” (Med. Welt 24, No. 29/30, 1973).
