Methylenum Caeruleum – Methylene Blue

The attenuations are prepared from Methylene-blue, C₁₆H₁₈ClN₃S · 3 H₂O, MW: 319.9.

It is a redox dye and also changes to the colourless (reduced) stage. Also, it is only by means of methylene blue that the dehydrogenation of succinic acid may be achieved through the widespread succinodehydrogenation of fumaric acid. Thus Methylene Blue is indicated in numerous cellular phases, and also in neoplasm phases, as an aid to respiration.

The German Monograph-Preparation Commission for the Homoeopathic Field of Therapy has, under the Preparation Monograph for Methylenum caeruleum, pub- lished the following indication(s) in the German Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) for methylene blue: inflammations of the urinary tract.
