Millefolium


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


MILLEFOLIUM is the only one of three that has seemed to have PRODUCED haemorrhages in its pathogenesis. Hahnemann says of it : “IT CAUSES NOSE-BLEED. It causes haematuria.” Clinical use has verified it.

The blood from the different organs is generally bright red, like that of ACONITE, but the anxiety of that remedy is not there. In fact, no great fear is present in the cases where I have used it. Sometimes the blood in the urine forms in the bottom of the vessel a BLOODY CAKE. When a young man I was troubled for a long time with frequent attacks of profuse epistaxis. Dr. T. L. Brown prescribed for me several times, but without success. I became weak from loss of blood. Finally my old grandmother told me to chew yarrow root, and showed me the plant growing in my father’s yard. I did so and was quickly cured. While on my vacation at Blue Mountain Lake, in the Adirondacks, i met a man there in the last stage of consumption. He had his medicine from his doctor in New York with him. He was spitting daily large quantities of blood, with severe cough, and his SECALE was not able to control. He finally said to me: “Doctor, can you do anything to stop this bleeding?” I stooped down and pulled up a little root of yarrow growing at our feet, handed it to him and told him to chew it. He looked surprised, but did so, like the taste of it and kept on chewing. It stopped his bleeding and soothed his cough so much that he dug up a basket of yarrow and took it home with him. That controlled the bleeding. He went to Florida for the winter, but died the next spring. It is especially recommended for haemorrhages after a fall or other injuries. If ARNICA failed in such a case I would think of MILLEFOLIUM.
