Impetigo

More cases of impetigo in children clear on Antiminium crudum than on any other remedy. In adults, nine out of ten cases of acute impetigo clear on Antimonium crudum.

Children’s Types -Dr. Douglass Borland

It looks like Natrum muriaticum but….

I have seen several clergymen, Pulsatilla cases, refuse company and prefer solitude, as they always want to be under the protection of God, due to a feeling of abandonement. If I had strictly considered their wish for solitude, the symptoms would have led to Natrum muriaticum, a remedy totally opposite to Pulsatilla, but similar in modalities such as worse from heat wish for open air, desires sour things etc. You must discover the patient’s authentic psychic reactions through the camouflage of defensive elaboration.

Wrong Direction of Symptoms

If you prescribe for a rheumatism of the knee, feet or hands and relief takes place in the rheumatism , but the patient is taken down with internal distress that settles in the region of the heart or spine, a transference has taken place from circumference to centre, and the remedy must be antidoted at once, otherwise structural change will take place in that new site.

Lectures on Homoeopathic Philosophy – Dr. James Tyler Kent -Thanks to Samuel Gregory – Australia

Rheumatism Metastisis

Rheumatism had left the lumbar muscles and seized the heart. Wakes 1-2am from sense of suffocation accompanied by violent loud cough, great alarm, agitation, anxiety. Action of heart was violent and rapid, each beat accompanied by a loud blowing, as of a bellows. Spongia relieved.

Asphyxia Neonatorum

If you’re doing midwifery, learn these well.

Antimonium tart, a few drops every fifteen minutes . Where it fails, give Opium if the face is blue, or China if pale. After the babe shows signs of life, give Aconite when the face is red or blue, and China if pale. Also- Laurocerasus – face blue, imperceptible breathing, twitching muscles. Camphora-when Antimonium tart fails, for the same symptoms. Do not neglect the usual mechanical means to restore respiration.

Senega – Some Comparative M.M.

Senega is especially a chest medicine, a sort of cross between Bryonia and Rhus Tox. Chest, rheumatic and inflammatory pains are worse during rest, but the cough and asthmatic troubles are worse from the slightest motion. The rattling in the chest is as marked as Antimonium tart., and the mucus as gluey and stringy as Kali bich. Dry cough with aphonia, worse from cold air and walking, like Phosphorus and Rumex.

Tellurium -Burning Discharge

Tellurium is a most important remedy in Otorrhoea. Discharge smells like fish pickle and is so acrid that it vessicates any part of the skin it touches. A very slow and long acting remedy. Worse at rest, night, cold weather, lying on painful side, touch.

To Sleep Perchance to Dream

For insomnia when the same thought keeps repeating, explore Arg- n, Bar-c, Calc, Coff, Graph, Petr, Plat, PULS, Sul, Thuja If troubled by a repeated melody, consider Pulsatilla.

Ammonium Carbonicum

The nearest analogues are Ant-tart, Carbo veg, and Arsenicum Useful in poisioning by charcoal fumes, pulmonary edema, emphysema. Also in the beginning of cerebrospinal meningitis when the patient falls into a stupid, non-reactive state, cold and cyanotic. Ammonium carb will bring about reaction and you then select some more specific remedy to cure. Aversion to water (Lyss), can’t bear to touch it. Inimical to Lachesis.
