SARSAPARILLA


Therapeutic use of homeopathic remedy Sarsaparilla described by E.B. Nash in his book Leaders in Homeopathic Therapeutics, published in 1898….


White sand in urine;also slimy or flaky urine.

Much pain at the conclusion of passing urine;almost unbearable.

Marasmus; neck emaciates and skin lies in folds.

SARSAPARILLA is another remedy which has excruciating neuralgia of the kidneys. Renal colic and passage of gravel and formation of vesicle calculi. Dr. Hering gives many testimonials to the efficacy of this remedy to relieve the sufferings attendant on gravel, especially with rheumatic complaints. LYC., has RED SAND WITH CLEAR URINE; SARSAPARILLA white sand with scanty, slimy or flaky urine. They may both be very useful in chronic rheumatic troubles, with these urinary complications. The most characteristic symptom of SARS., is “MUCH PAIN AT THE CONCLUSION OF PASSING urine;almost unbearable.” (BERB., eQUIS., mED., tHUJA.,). There is often in this case great tenesmus of the bladder at the same time. No remedy has this symptom so strongly as SARS., pULS., has something similar, so far as tenesmus is concerned, in connection with enlarged prostate. NAT-M., has also,- “After urination burning and cutting in the urethra; spasmodic contraction in abdomen, etc.” So we must be careful about prescribing on one symptom alone, be it ever so prominent. In marasmus SARS., stands alongside of IOD., nAT-M., and ABROT., in SARS., neck emaciates and skin (in general ) lies in folds.(SANI., NAT-M., and LYC., emaciate from above downward. ABROT., from below upward.)IOD., general emaciation, wishes to eat all the time. NAT-M., eats and emaciates all the time, nECK PARTICULARLY. ABROT., general marasmus, LEGS most. ARG-N., child looks old, dried up, like a mummy. SARS., is one of the best remedies for headache or periosteal pains generally, from suppressed gonorrhoea. I have seen great results from the 200th. It is also a good remedy for syphilitic eruptions, with great emaciation;cracks on hands and feet, especially on sides of fingers and toes.
