Pharmacological and clinical notes

Gelsemium sempervirens (wild jasmine)

Neuralgia, migraine, headache, numbness, vertigo, cardiac pangs. Rhus toxicodendron (poison oak)

Rheumatism and neuralgia worsening in cold, wet weather, after being exposed to rain or when at rest, e.g. neuralgia of the arm, intercostal neuralgia. sciatic neuralgia, pain in the limbs.

Cimicifuga racemosa (black cohosh)

Neuralgia, cervical syndrome, sudden, shooting pains and rapid change of symptoms, pain extending from the back or neck over the head, osteochondrosis, especially of the dorsal and cervical regions of the vertebral column, sciatic neuralgia.

Based on the individual homoeopathic constituents of Gelsemium-Homaccord, therapeutic possibilities result for the treatment of cervical migraine (in addition to Spigelon and Osteoheel S, Cimicifuga-Homaccord, etc.); osteochondrosis of the cervical vertebrae (Colocynthis-Homaccord, China-Homaccord S); sensitivity to changes in the weather, occipital neuralgia.

Also typical migraines (shock-therapy alternation with Spigelon). Neuralgia of the head, in the cervical syndrome, may result from chronic nerve pressure in the foramina transversalia, due to faulty deportment, therefore posture correction must be followed unconditionally. For symptomatic headache, e.g. influenza, angina and other feverish illnesses, as well as during or before menses, Gelsemium-Homaccord (possibly alternating with Spigelon) is indicated. It is also often effective in agoraphobia (fear of open spaces) in addition to Anacardium-Homaccord, Nervoheel, Valerianaheel etc., as well as for dysmenorrhoea (Spascupreel, Hormeel S, Gynäcoheel, etc.).

The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the symptoms and the stage of the illness: 10 drops 3-4 times daily; in sporadic diseases when an attack occurs, 10 drops every 15 minutes, alternating with other preparations. 1 ampoule daily in acute disorders, otherwise 1 ampoule 1-3 times weekly i.m., s.c., i.v., forming wheals in the area of the pain, possibly mixed with Spascupreel, Colocynthis-Homaccord, Neuralgo- Rheum-Injeel, Cimicifuga-Homaccord, etc.
