      Gud morning Ma’am,

      I would like to know :
      What is plethoric &
      What is sedentary ?

      • Suji 1 month ago

        good morning,
        No idea of plethoric but sedentary means who stay at home

        • Mrinal Mohapatra 1 month ago

          google for ”sedentary”

          • Suji 1 month ago

            Means who don’t do any physical exercise. They can do mental exercise with out any physical exersice

                thanks, but full,plethoric habit means??
                I understand plethora means excess amount. here what does it mean??

                • Mrinal Mohapatra 1 month ago

                  when plethora associates with human it means obese. And full plethoric habit means all types habits that a obese girl should have. Like over eating, no exercise, no work or no desire to work, sedentary life style due to laziness etc…

                  • Suji 1 month ago

                    means aconite is indicated in acute case of obese girls who do not have physical exercise.Is that so?

                    • Mrinal Mohapatra 1 month ago

                      Means aconite is often useful in those type of persons that does not means it ll contradict when the person is active & not plethoric.

    At the end of Boerick mat medica we have a chapter of relationship of remedies. Here there is a column for duration. In this column we are given the days. For eg. for Arnica it is given 2-8d what does this mean?????????????
    Please clarify

    • Mrinal Mohapatra 1 month, 1 week ago

      That is the approximate duration of action of remedy on a healthy individual. Subject to vary according to susceptibility.

      • Suji 1 month, 1 week ago

        I understand that if a person is given arnica in a disease then it acts for 2d or 6d or 7d according to his susceptibility. Different persons have different susceptibility so the duration also varies accordingly.

        Then does all the potencies of arnica have the same duration? I mean suppose arnica 30c acts for 5d in a person, does all other…[Read more]

        • Mrinal Mohapatra 1 month, 1 week ago

          No, differs with potency.

          • Suji 1 month, 1 week ago

            Can you explain please

            • Mrinal Mohapatra 1 month, 1 week ago

              There are many factors like patients general susceptibility, susceptibility towards medicine, diet, regimen, potency. You should not tangle yourself with these matters. See the patient, if improving then action of medicine is on wait & watch.

              • Suji 1 month ago

                Then if duration is not the criteria,then how to know whether the remedy is deep and long acting one.

                • Mrinal Mohapatra 1 month ago

                  You can’t prescribe according to depth or duration of remedy either. Those are approximate & not fixed as i have mentioned above.

    • Donna Fox 1 month, 1 week ago

      In my experience, as long as the patient is still improving, then the remedy is still acting. I have seen certain remedies act for 2 years +

          Sorry for delay. If the remedy didn’t work then the possible cause is partial similimum, that is to say, you have not taken complete similimum into account. Or you may have not given sufficient time to act the remedy.

    • Chaudhary Rajiv Lal 1 month, 3 weeks ago

      (I am not a homoeopath) As I know it, as per the methodology of ’advanced homoeopathy’, the best broad-spectrum neutraliser or antidote is Camphor 200.

      • hemantha kumar 1 month, 2 weeks ago

        camphor will neutralise the effects of other homeopathic medicines, but not allopathic. As per Mr. Nash, in his thereauptics, Nux.Vomica will antidote the effects of allopathy and other odd medicines.

        The dosage is in 200c and will be given in the evening i.e 16:oohrs- 1 dose, 18:oohrs-1 dose and 20:oohrs- i dose, since it is a night king.

    In aconite we have A/F cold dry weather. for headache after going into cold air in winter, is aconite the remedy or any other.

    • Manish Bhatia 2 months, 1 week ago

      Exposure to dry cold air is just ONE of the variables here. The presenting symptoms also need to be taken into account with their moralities.

      • Suji 2 months, 1 week ago

        can this rubric be taken as the cause for this state. If so then the similimum is one of the remedies of this rubric.

        • Manish Bhatia 2 months, 1 week ago

          Yes, it can be taken as a causative modality but the remedy should cover the symptoms too.

So whenever they come into the situation we do not bother about their words or do not like to see their face. Is this again the same rubric INDIFFERENCE. If not what is the rubric in such situations

                • Mrinal Mohapatra 2 months, 1 week ago
