And he dropped heaps of bloody tears onto the headboard.

I pressed my eyes to the white body in tears:

Blood calms with camphor medicinal

Sharaf al-Kairouwani

Kyiv, spring, Department of Internal Medicine, Medical Institute. A group of fifth-year students waits in the clinic lobby for a teacher leading practical classes. Professor E.B. Bukreev passes by, stops and immediately understands from our rather relaxed behavior that we are already “on the way out”, have made up our minds. Catching my gaze, as always, keenly anticipating the answer, he asks: “But where are you going to specialize?” “For surgery,” I answer. “Well, why do you need this? - he says, bewildered, with a tinge of condemnation. “You should take ballet…”

Small and weak in appearance, I am already accustomed to such speeches and do not defend myself, I remain silent. I was already told the same thing in the dean’s office, even about ballet. Why am I going for surgery? Probably, most of all, by inheritance - my father came to homeopathy after ten years of surgical work. He was a good surgeon, he operated easily and quickly - he had sensitive, “smart” hands. Homeopathy captivated him with its effectiveness, humanity, and beauty. That's the only reason he left surgery. I followed his advice - you need to recognize cases that are subject to surgical treatment, be able to quickly “feel” the patient and acutely feel responsibility for his life. The surgical clinic, in his opinion, teaches this faster than others. But there was another, my own reason, why I did not want to go to a therapeutic clinic. I myself considered this reason frivolous, but nevertheless it secretly influenced the course of events. I have always suffered from the camphor smell, which dominated all the others in therapeutic clinics during my student years. Or maybe it was just my imagination. I was simply afraid of him, as well as the smell of Vishnevsky’s ointment - I had to constantly encounter it in the surgical clinic (in the department where I did my subordination, there were many burn patients). I was embarrassed to admit such strangeness even to myself. Only much later, already as a homeopathic doctor, I realized that this was not an oddity or a whim, but an increased sensitivity to resinous odors.

The negative attitude towards camphor involuntarily spread to the homeopathic preparation made from this substance, especially since from childhood I also knew something bad about it: that camphor interferes with the action of homeopathic medicines and its injections during homeopathic treatment are as undesirable as drinking coffee or alcohol drinks and spices.

For a long time, this substance did not arouse my professional interest, although I knew that many pediatricians use Rubini’s camphor (50% solution of camphor in 95% alcohol) for prolonged diarrhea in children. Its use can cause toxic effects, and it cannot be classified as a true homeopathic medicine, which in no case should cause anything like that. This also turned me away from camphor: I was used to working with high dilutions of homeopathic medicines.

R. Rubini - Italian homeopathic doctor. He treated cholera patients in Italy and Switzerland with his drug in 1854–1855. with great success: the mortality rate among his patients was 10 times less than that officially registered during that epidemic (4 and 42%). The proposal to treat cholera with camphor originally came from Hahnemann, who mentioned this remedy in his work “An Experiment on a New Principle for Finding the Healing Properties of Medicinal Substances,” which was published in 1796. Hahnemann considered camphor a remedy difficult to study: “The effect of this substance on a healthy body is extremely mysterious and difficult to define for the reason that the primary action is replaced suddenly and is easily confused with the reaction of the body.” There are even fundamental contradictions in his recommendations for the use of camphor. Hahnemann perceived camphor, in modern terms, as a chemotherapy drug, believing that it acted on the causative agent of the disease. “It (camphor. - T.P.) more than any other medicine has the property of killing lower organisms with its vapors and is thus able to quickly kill and destroy the cholera miasma, which, apparently, represents living beings that are deadly to humans and inaccessible to ours. feelings." This is how Hahnemann reasoned, although, note, Vibrio cholera had not yet been discovered at that time. A true homeopathic medicine never acts as a chemotherapy drug; it does not kill anyone, but helps the body itself fight the disease, increasing its defenses. It is noteworthy that although the mechanism of the therapeutic effect of camphor in cholera was not explained by Hahnemann from a homeopathic position, the very idea of ​​treating cholera with it came from the principle of similarity - from a comparison of the clinical picture of cholera with the medicinal pathogenesis of camphor - the reaction of a healthy body to it.

There were enough materials for such a comparison. Many generations of doctors were interested in camphor as a remedy. Some classified it as a “hot” agent, others as a “cooling” agent. Such discrepancies may have caused some natural scientists to want to carry out their own experiments. In 1768, a surgeon from Edinburgh, V. Alexander, published the results of an auto-experiment in “Experimental Essays,” which almost cost him his life. Apparently, this work was known to Hahnemann. Hahnemann himself and the doctors around him also carried out similar experiments, based on the results of which homeopathic indications for the use of camphor were determined. They are described in Volume IV of Hahnemann's Chronic Diseases.

Camphor is a favorite of A. S. Zalmanov, the author of a very warm and instructive book “The Secret Wisdom of the Human Body.” Since its publication, turpentine baths have become firmly established in our medical practice, but the idea of ​​the universality of camphor has not been taken up. It is possible that the idea itself is not original and was borrowed from F. Raspail, a French naturalist who saw camphor as a kind of panacea and recommended introducing it into the body in all sorts of ways: smoking, sniffing, swallowing, rubbing. According to Zalmanov, camphor, which has a powerful effect on the peripheral circulatory system due to its high capillary activity, helps remove toxins from the body (end products of metabolism or toxins formed in the body).

The main source of camphor is camphor laurel, which grows in the tropics and subtropics. In northern countries interested in local medicinal raw materials, camphor-bearing plants were searched for. These turned out to be Siberian fir, camphor basil, some types of wormwood and Perovskia. Minor amounts of camphor were also found in tansy, calamus, and rosemary. In our country, hopes were pinned on wormwood and camphor basil, since fir does not contain dextrorotatory camphor, like other camphor-bearing plants, but its optical levorotatory isomer, which has long been considered biologically inactive. However, later studies rehabilitated levorotatory camphor. Camphor-bearing plants ceased to be cultivated, and fir, the main tree species in Western Siberia, became a source of camphor for medical needs.

Zalmanov preferred camphor extracted from fir, perhaps because it is similar to turpentine. The homeopathic medicine according to the pharmacopoeia is prepared from dextrorotatory camphor, perhaps due to tradition.

For a homeopathic physician, as already mentioned, it is very important to determine individual sensitivity to environmental factors, especially to those substances that are used as medicinal substances in homeopathy. This information often leads to successful treatment in the shortest way. Your own body is an excellent source of observation. Remembering my aversion to the camphor smell, I began to wonder how other people felt about it. In my youth it seemed to me that the smell of camphor was disgusting to everyone - after all, there are smells that are unpleasant to all people. I was very wrong about the camphor part. Most of the patients interviewed knew its smell well, many answered: “The smell is like a smell,” why do I ask? But not all! “What are you talking about,” one nurse told me, “this is the smell of the forest, of freshness. When I come to work, I immediately say: girls, those who have camphor in their prescriptions, mind you, I’ll do it.” “It smells nice,” some answered. “When I wiped my face with camphor alcohol, I developed swelling and a severe headache, and after the injection, the redness and swelling were so intense that I suspected erysipelas.” “Wonderful,” I think, “it’s not for nothing that homeopathy recommends it for erysipelas.” Homeopathic camphor in high dilution relieved this patient from exacerbations of chronic pneumonia, normalized blood pressure and significantly improved cardiac activity. However, the first treatments caused a short-term headache with a sensation of pulsation in the temples and heat in the face. How can one not remember Purkina! In some patients, camphor prescribed for sinusitis, sinusitis, and otitis media caused temporary loosening of stools with pain in the intestines. For others who applied for intestinal disease, their stool immediately returned to normal without prior exacerbation. The choice of dilution is one of the most difficult moments in homeopathy. Many homeopathic doctors of the last century believed that camphor should be prescribed in large, as they put it, material doses. My experience does not confirm this. I myself take camphor in high dilution for colds and excessive fatigue. It turned out to be a wonderful medicine for me, as could be expected, given my relationship with its smell.

I also met “camphor eaters” who took camphor powders several times a day for many years and assured that they could not do without them.

Recently, camphor has become less used in clinics - it has been replaced by more modern cardiac drugs. This is not only the spirit of the times, but also insufficient knowledge of a very good medicine. Homeopathic doctors also use it less often than they might, based on its medicinal pathogenesis.

Each person has his own “relationship” with many substances (this is especially true for plants), and there are reasons for this. Once, while walking along the bank of a small river with a four-year-old boy, I saw thickets of calamus. She picked the stem and gave it to him to smell. “It’s delicious,” he said, rubbing the juice that had come out at the site of the break with his finger... I remember how carefully I entered a rural hut as a child on Whitsunday, when the floor was covered with herbs: I didn’t want to step on the stems of “lepekha” (as in Ukraine in in some places they are called calamus), their smell intoxicated me and made me nauseous. I chose places with mint and cornflowers. Now I know why: calamus is a camphor-bearing plant.

And my heart trembled in pain,

And bright tears of sadness

Fell on the bowls of plants,

Where the white birds screamed.

And in the sky, gray with dust,

There were camphor laurels

And the pale trumpets were blown,

And the timpani beat the copper ones.

Camphor rubini - homeopathic granules or drops, the raw material for which is a mixture of camphor and alcohol 96% in equal parts. It is used in the treatment of varying degrees of severity. Helps both with acute intestinal infections and with poisoning from poor-quality food. This drug has been very popular for many centuries. It is safe, fast-acting and suitable for patients of all ages.

Camphor Rubini - a remedy for cholera

Dr. Roubini, based on his experiments, proved that Camphor protects against a dangerous disease and treats cholera in all its stages. According to Roubini, camphor turned out to be useless in the hands of other doctors, due to the fact that the alcohol with which it was diluted was not strong enough, and only alcohol brought by distillation to such a degree of purity and strength that it is able to dissolve an amount of Camphor equal to it in volume - can be a salvation from a deadly disease. And he recommended taking 2 drops of saturated camphor alcohol on a piece of sugar during cholera epidemics. With this remedy, he cured many patients during the cholera epidemic, and even himself, having contracted a dangerous disease twice while saving people, managed to recover.

This camphor alcohol was named Rubini.

Psychological type

In homeopathy, it is customary to compare the properties of the drug and the one that corresponds to it. The psychological type of Camphor rubini is a person who is bursting with heat from the inside; he cannot stand covering up, although his skin is always cold and pale. He often breaks out in a cold sweat and has a weak pulse. His illness is always worse in the open air, especially in cold weather. Improved well-being is usually indicated by the appearance of warm sweat and deep sleep.
