Several clinical cases of Arsenicum album from the book of P. Sankaran (father) "Elements of Homeopathy"

It is anhydrous arsenous acid or white arsenic oxide. Homeopaths often prescribe it under the name white metal. The first three dilutions are made from the primary substance either in triturations or in solutions. For solutions we use 56 degrees. alcohol.

The pathogenesis of arsenic tested by Hahnemann is found in “Pure Medicine” and in his “Treatment of Chronic Diseases”.

PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTION

Arsenic poisoning mainly affects the digestive and respiratory apparatus, skin, nervous system, liver and kidneys.

Digestive apparatus: there are always three signs on the face: vomiting, diarrhea and pain.

Vomiting first ejects food, then the vomit becomes bilious and mucous. Tormented by burning thirst, patients drink greedily, but what they drink almost immediately vomits back out; so they drink little but often.

Diarrhea. - Watery, colorless, containing a large number of white grains similar to cooked rice, accompanied burning pains and very painful spasms of all members. The similarity to cholera is so striking that there are errors in diagnosis. For subacute poisoning stomach disorders with fever, noticed by Hahnemann in 1876, were described in cases of poisoning by Heirosh, Havre and Lancero.

Respiratory system: a feeling of pressure and shortness of breath, the predominant symptoms of subacute arsenic poisoning; but at chronic poisoning disorders from respiratory organs manifest themselves more sharply, since arsenic is released through all tissues, covering the epidermis and epithelium.

Laryngo-tracheitis is noted, causing hoarseness, bronchitis and very frequent runny nose, which can reach necrosis of the nasal bones in workers who exhale arsenic dust.

Skin: Imber-Gurbeir proved that all types of skin lesions can be caused by arsenic, but mainly the scaly and pustular forms. Brouardel, indeed, notes erythema, blisters, papules, pustules, ulcers, pityriasis-like peelings and cites a case of mildly expressed scaly psoriasis that appeared after drinking arsenic, which allows in some cases to determine the nature of the poisoning. Edema is also one of the most persistent symptoms and usually affects the eyelids. Edema is characteristic feature cachexia in workers at arsenic mines.

Nervous system: patients are in a state of deep prostration, but without damage to mental abilities. There is insomnia, headaches, numbness in the arms and legs, and crawling. Borda noted burning and shooting pains in the soles and palms of arsenic beer poisoning.

Paralysis particularly affects lower limbs, beginning with thumbs and is usually symmetrical.

The heart muscle is affected at the very beginning, which is why death occurs. The blood is greatly changed, in all cases there is pallor and cyanosis. There are various hemorrhages: petechiae, purpura, nosebleeds, bloody vomiting, etc.

The liver quickly increases in volume and undergoes fatty degeneration; the kidneys are also affected by real toxic nephritis with albuminuria, oliguria or anuria.

Pichet distinguishes three main arsenical types: first of all, this is the blooming type, muscular, with shiny hair, thin skin, strong, strong build, but with one or even two disadvantages: it is either asthmatic or suffering from lichen.

One step below is the person suffering from digestive disorders with a straw-yellow face, skinny and vomiting over every trifle, for whom the smell of the kitchen and even the sight of food is completely unbearable, who suffers strong thirst, drinks a lot and often, and immediately vomits everything he drank. The face is puffy, the eyes are surrounded by wide blue, as if he is wearing glasses, the lips are dry, cracked, with pityriasis-like peeling.

One more step, and we have cachexia: the skin is pale, the face of a seriously ill person: with a “disfigured appearance”, with an “expression of agony”, extreme emaciation, somewhere in the body there is a tissue disorder; this is either cancer, or tuberculosis, or extremely acute cholera enteritis, or, finally, cachexia due to some chronic disease: malaria, nephritis, heart disease. Very often there is puffiness and swelling, more pronounced on the upper than on the lower eyelids.

Let's add a few touches to this picture: usually a sick arsenic is afraid of the cold, he wraps himself up and huddles in a warm corner, and at the same time opens the window, as he needs fresh air.

PECULIARITIES

Worse: after midnight, from one to three in the morning, from cold and exercise.

Improvement: from heat, from everything warm; in the fresh air.

Predominant side: right.

Rhythm: frequency: every 2nd or 4th, every 7th or 14th day, hence the possibility of its use for swamp fever.

CHARACTERISTIC

Hourly worsening, after midnight, between one and three in the morning.

Frequency of symptoms - every 2, 3, 4, 15 days; every 6 weeks, every year. The duration of the period is longer, the longer the disease is.

Sadness and excitement are always after midnight.

Excessive loss of strength, often inconsistent with the disease that causes it: dizziness, runny nose, vomiting, etc.

Malignancy: arsenic is for severe, malignant fevers, what aconite is for simple lungs.

Sequence: asthma after disappearance of eczema or measles rash; gastric disorders simulating a stomach ulcer, after suppressing the rash with some ointment. This is why arsenic corresponds so well with skin diseases.

Nature of the pain: burning, ameliorated by warmth.

Unusual thirst: the patient drinks often, but little by little. He especially prefers cold water, while it causes aggravation, and relieves heat. However, drinking cold water often “sits heavily on the stomach and then vomits.”

Nausea from the smell of cooked food and even just at the sight of it (colchicum, sepia).

Pain: Main characteristics- burning, ameliorated by heat. They are often compared to pain from a prick with a hot needle or from hot coals. It should be noted that cold lotions can relieve them on a short time, but then bitterness sets in. They are often accompanied by swelling, sadness, agitation and despair.

The stool is dysenteric or cholera-like in nature. It is extremely fetid: a cadaverous odor, scanty, accompanied strong burning sensation in the rectum. Worse at night, after eating and drinking, accompanied by severe prostration.

Menses: too profuse, premature, with dark blood. The discharge is always corrosive, accompanied by itching.

Leucorrhoea: acrid, burning, irritating.

Menstruation may be absent and replaced by discharge with a cadaverous odor (with cancer).

MAIN INDICATIONS

DIGESTIVE TRACT: acute gastroenteritis (arsenic causes it in strong degree), with burning pain, intense thirst; my stomach is so irritated that the slightest amount food or drink causes pain or immediately causes vomiting, diarrhea, or both. Cold drinks, water and ice cream cause or increase this suffering.

STOMACH PAIN in those suffering from lichen.

SEVERE FORMS OF DYSENTERY in initial period diseases. EXTERNAL HAEMORROIDAL CONES, burning, ameliorated by heat.

AIRWAYS. Asthma - the most important means. It is especially useful for those suffering from lichen, after the rash disappears. Foamy, looks like it's been knocked down egg white, sputum, serves as a special indication (Jousset). Add to this the severity of symptoms and anxiety during the night and a burning sensation in the chest.

Runny nose - watery, with slight discharge, corrosive, with a burning sensation in the upper lip.

PLEURITIS - arsenic is especially indicated for those with a tendency to faint. To resolve the effusion, it should be alternated with Cantharis.

PNEUMONIA with high fever, great prostration and restlessness at night.

In diseases of the respiratory organs that require the administration of arsenic, acute, sometimes burning, pain in the upper third is often noted. right lung, at the level of the 3rd intercostal space.

URINARY TRACT: Bright's disease. It is probably the best remedy for chronic Bright's disease and Hughes prefers it for scarlet fever nephritis. Siffert attributes it in all periods of albuminuria to 5 drops of the 6th dilution 3 times a day. The clinical picture, in general terms, is as follows: general dropsy, edema and puffiness, protein urine, pale waxy skin, debilitating diarrhea, burning sensation and thirst.

LEATHER. Arsenic is indicated for all kinds of rashes if they are accompanied by itching and burning, soothed by heat, but especially:

ULCERS, burning as if on fire, with a bluish bottom, black or greasy, bleeding easily, with a fetid discharge.

GANGRENE and especially dry senile gangrene with sharp sensitivity and burning in the affected parts; relief from warm and hot compresses (secale - relief from cold compresses).

Anthrax, burning like fire.

SCALE RINGER, worse cold.

ECZEMA - worse in winter, better in summer, as with psorinum.

ARBITRARY HEMORRHAGES, purpura, in severe diseases.

INFECTIONS. CHOLERA. Charger points out the following symptoms: severe melancholy with fear of death, extreme excitement, forcing the patient to constantly move, get out of bed, and open up; burning in the pit of the stomach, as if from hot coals.

TYPH: severe cases with extreme loss of strength, with abnormal debilitating fever; Abdominal bloating is common.

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM. Arsenic, like lead, is one of the the best means with aortitis.

NERVOUS SYSTEM. HEADACHE. Migraine, with severe pain, especially over the left eye. The pain is burning, worse on the left, periodically, especially after midnight. Nocturnal neuralgia always makes one think about arsenic.

According to Buchner: moving neuralgia that appears at night - arsenic; morning and afternoon - ignation; old - silicea.

FEVER. Seizures are rarely complete; tend to appear at night. Chills are never accompanied by thirst, but it appears with heat of a burning nature. Sweat profuse, cold and sticky. The periodicity and loss of strength are clearly pronounced.

OTHER DRUGS THAT CAUSE BURNING PAIN: phosphorus - pain is less intense than with arsenic, more limited: between the shoulder blades, along the spine and in the palms, worsened by heat.

SULFUR: pain is widespread, as with arsenic, but less acute, observed especially in chronic diseases. Never improves from heat.

ANTHRACITE has the same burning pains as phosphorus, but they appear in the area of ​​the boil or carbuncle and are accompanied by a blackish scab or bloody discharge.

APIS burns and stabs, “as if with red-hot needles”; aggravation from warm compresses, better from cold.

SEKALE: the burning sensation is the same as with arsenic, but the affected parts are cold to the touch and, however, the patient cannot tolerate the slightest heat, wants to open up and can only calm down from cold compresses.

Arsenic acts in all doses, but, however, in certain cases, some are preferably used.

Low dilutions (hundredths) are more often used for nephritis, cholera, ascites, runny nose, asthma, heart and aortic diseases, and scrofulous ophthalmia.

Medium dilutions (6 and 12) are often preferred for febrile processes, pleurisy, and to begin treatment of diseases that require strong doses during the period of cachexia. High dilutions should be prescribed for intermittent fevers and neuralgia.

Arsenic has a profound effect on every organ and tissue. Its symptoms are numerous, but the following should be especially remembered: agitation with bitterness at night, severe weakness after the slightest movement, burning pains, ameliorated by warmth, unquenchable thirst.

One should never forget the alternation of diseases for which it is indicated with various skin rashes.

Dosage: children - from 1 to 3 peas, adults - from 5 to 8 peas (the number depends on the state of the body: the more weakened the body, the fewer the number of balls). Dissolve the peas in boiled water in a quantity of 100 ml, shake vertically several times, apply 1 teaspoon every 5-10 minutes (it is advisable to hold it in the mouth for 1 minute before swallowing).

Give the sponge every 5 minutes until the child’s condition clearly improves. Then sit the child down and call the doctor.

Aconite 30– used at high temperatures. The child falls ill suddenly, at night. The temperature is very high. The child is dry and hot, like a coal. There is no stage of sweating with fever yet, the child behaves very restlessly, cries, squeals. Aconite is also used at the first signs of false croup, when the child wakes up at night with severe cough(at 12, 1 am), clutches his chest and cries. Dry, barking cough. The day before, as a rule, the child walked in the cold wind, froze, and at night woke up coughing in fear.

Hepar sulfur 30– used for false croup when a child is bothered by dry, rough, barking cough. As a rule, on the second day after Aconite. Also works well for tonsil congestion and purulent inflammation teeth and gums

Hamomilla 30– an excellent drug for the treatment of colic in infants. When it is generally difficult to calm a child down, he screams like crazy. The child more or less calms down in the mother’s arms, but at the same time the mother must continuously walk back and forth. It also perfectly helps with difficult teething in babies, when the child has a high temperature. liquefied stool is green, one cheek is red and the other pale, toothache relief comes from cold (gel teethers if kept in the freezer). The child calms down in the mother's arms, but she must constantly move

Magnesia phosphorica 30– helps with colic in babies. In this case, relief comes if you apply something warm to the child and at the same time release pressure (put the undressed baby on the mother’s stomach - skin to skin contact)

Colocynth 30- for colic in babies. In this case, the child is better off in a position bent in half or with his knees pressed to his stomach (but at the same time the child lies on his side - fetal position)

Carbo vegetabilis 30– helps with colic in babies. Sharp relief after belching or passing gas.

Lycopodium 30– perfectly treats colic in babies. Belching and passing gas doesn't really help. Colic occurs clearly from 16 to 20 pm. The child sucks greedily at the breast, as if he wants to eat it, his stomach is swollen and tense. As a rule, he is born small, has longitudinal wrinkles on the forehead, and appears older than his age. Right-sided otitis media

Calcium carbonicum 30– during teething, with rickets in children. Such children, as a rule, are large and loose, inactive (although there are exceptions). Chilly, head and neck sweat during sleep, body smells sour. Children often have a “milky crust” on the head and a tendency to constipation

Belladonna 30– for all conditions accompanied by high fever in children. At high temperatures, the hands and feet are cool, the head is hot, and there is sweating. Sweat is usually hot. There is no thirst even at high temperatures. It has worked well for rubella and scarlet fever when the symptoms coincide. Right-sided otitis media

Calcium phosphoricum 30– with rickets in children. But the child is thin and petite and moves a lot. He is capricious when teething, demands toys, and then throws them away angrily, he cannot be pleased, he is dissatisfied with everything

Fitolyaka 30– when mother’s milk stagnates. In case of severe teething in a child. When teething, relief comes if the child chews on a hard surface (wooden or even metal surface)
