Hepar sulphuris calcareum<\/span><\/h1>\n

Hypersensitive to touch, pain, cold air; fainting with the pain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

General tendency to suppurations; even slight injuries or scratches on the skin suppurate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tendency to croupy exudations (larynx and kidneys; any mucous membrane).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Atony; stools passed with great difficulty, even when soft; urine flows slowly, must wait for it, then drops vertically down without force.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sour diarrhoea; whole child smells sour.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Coughs; croup, bronchitis, consumption; < when exposed to least cold air.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Modalities: < exposure to dry cold air; > in moist wet weather.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Like\u00a0SULPHUR, HEPAR<\/strong>\u00a0is adapted to the psoric, scrofulous diathesis.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This remedy standing half-way between those two great anti-psorics,\u00a0CALCAREA CARB.<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0SULPHUR<\/strong>, has some very strong characteristics which guide to its use in a variety of ailments. Its strongest characteristic is its\u00a0hypersensitiveness<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0TOUCH<\/strong>,\u00a0PAIN\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0COLD AIR<\/strong>. The patient is so sensitive to pain that she faints away, even when it is slight. If there are inflammation or swelling in any locality, or even eruptions on the skin, they are so sensitive that she\u00a0CANNOT<\/strong>\u00a0BEAR TO HAVE THEM TOUCHED<\/strong>, or even to have the cold air to blow upon them. This is like\u00a0CHINA OFF<\/strong>., only that while the latter is sensitive to the lightest touch it\u00a0CAN\u00a0<\/strong>bear hard pressure. (Remedies especially < in cold air are\u00a0ARSENICUM ALB., CALCAREA OST., HEPAR SUL., NUX VOMICA, PSORINUM, SILICEA<\/strong>,\u00a0TUBERCULINUM<\/strong>.) This supersensitiveness to pain runs all through the drug. It is mental as well as physical, for the slightest cause irritates with hasty speech and vehemence. Next to this is the power of\u00a0HEPAR SULPH<\/strong>. over the suppurative stage of local inflammations. It comes in only when pus is about to form, or is already formed. If given very high in the first case (that is before pus is formed), and not repeated too soon or often, we may prevent suppuration and check the whole inflammatory process. But if pus is already formed, it will hasten the pointing and discharge and help along the healing of the ulcer afterwards. I am not at all sure, as is generally taught, that it is necessary to give it low to hasten suppuration. The most rapid pointing, opening, and perfect healing I ever saw was in the case of a large glandular swelling on the neck of a child, under the action of the c.m. potency.\u00a0HEPAR\u00a0<\/strong>has a general tendency to suppuration, for even the eruptions on the skin are liable to form matter,
\nand slight injuries suppurate.\u00a0(GRAPHITES, MERCURIUS, PETROLEUM.<\/strong>) This remedy is also very valuable in diseases of the respiratory organs. I have found it very useful in cases of chronic catarrh, when the nose stopped up every time the patient went out into the cold air. He says it seems as if I get a new cold every time I get a breath of fresh air (TUBERCULINUM<\/strong>). It is relieved in a warm room. In croup it has been, ever since Boenninghausen prescribed his celebrated five powders, one of our standard remedies. We do not use the five powders as Boenninghausen did in a certain order, but only use them according to indications.\u00a0HEPAR\u00a0<\/strong>croup is accompanied with rather loose cough, with wheezing and rattling. Cough as if mucus would come up, but it does not. It is seldom indicated at first; but oftener comes in after\u00a0ACONITE\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0SPONGIA<\/strong>. Like\u00a0ACONITE\u00a0<\/strong>it seems most effectual in those cases brought on by exposure to dry cold air; but the\u00a0ACONITE CROUP COMES ON IN THE EVENING AFTER FIRST SLEEP<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0HEPAR IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS<\/strong>. This tendency to croupy exudations on mucous membranes seems characteristic of\u00a0HEPAR\u00a0<\/strong>and is not confined to the respiratory organs. Kafka uses it on the ground of its ability to control such conditions in post-scarlatinal dropsy, to prevent or cure, and claims great success for it. I believe it to be one of the best prophylactics in such cases, for the reason that during and after the desquamative stage the skin is unusually susceptible to the effects of chill in cold air, and this is in accordance with the\u00a0LEADING\u00a0<\/strong>characteristic of this remedy. It\u00a0FORTIFIES\u00a0<\/strong>the patient against such atmospheric influence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In croup, as in other affections of\u00a0HEPAR<\/strong>, the cough, difficult breathing and all other symptoms are aggravated by the least breath of cold air, which the little patient must be carefully guarded against. Travelling downward the larynx is attacked, then the bronchia, and even the lungs, and the formation of croupy exudates will take place if not checked by the remedy. The breathing in all these cases becomes rattling, anxious, wheezing, even to threatened suffocation, so that the patient seems asthmatic. In these cases it is often able to relieve, especially if this condition follows a hard cold and the acute inflamamtory symptoms have been controlled by\u00a0ACONITE\u00a0<\/strong>or some other indicated remedy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In chronic asthma,\u00a0HEPAR\u00a0<\/strong>often resembles\u00a0NATRUM SULPHURICUM<\/strong>, but there is this diagnostic difference, which is very valuable. The\u00a0HEPAR\u00a0<\/strong>asthma is worse in\u00a0DRY COLD\u00a0<\/strong>air and better in damp, while\u00a0NATRUM SULPH.<\/strong>\u00a0is exactly the opposite, like\u00a0DULCAMARA<\/strong>. There is no other remedy that I know that has the amelioration so strongly in damp weather as\u00a0HEPAR SULPHUR<\/strong>. One characteristic must not be forgotten, viz.:\u00a0“COUGHS WHEN ANY PART OF THE BODY BECOMES UNCOVERED<\/strong>.” (BARYTA\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0RHUS TOX<\/strong>.) This is found in croup, laryngitis, bronchitis and consumption, and not only is the\u00a0COUGH\u00a0<\/strong>worse, but the whole case is aggravated. Then, again, it must be remembered that this is one of our strongest anti-psorics, and for that reason should be thought of for all respiratory ailments for which it has such a strong affinity, especially when such ailments have followed a suppressed or retrocedent eruption on the skin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In accordance with its great power over all suppurative processes, it should come to mind in abscess of the lungs, of course in all cases when indicated by the symptoms\u00a0IN TOTO.\u00a0<\/strong>Upon the throat we have 1st, “sticking in the throat, as from a splinter, on swallowing, extending to the ear, also on yawning.” “Sensation as if a fish bone or splinter were sticking in the throat” (ARGENTUM NITRICUM, DOLICHOS<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0NITRIC ACID<\/strong>), but probably the condition, where\u00a0HEPAR\u00a0<\/strong>is oftenest of use in throat trouble is in that distressing complaint,\u00a0QUINSY<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here, as in croup, it is not generally indicated in the beginning. Having had much success and experience in this disease, I may here give the results of the application of several remedies and their indications:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BELLADONNA<\/strong>.\u2014High fever, great swelling, and redness, headache, throbbing carbtids.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MERCURIUS VIVUS<\/strong>.\u2014Either side, foetid breath, flabby, moist, indented tongue, and sweat without relief.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MERCURIUS PROTO-IODATUS<\/strong>.\u2014Same symptoms, but begins on light side, and tongue thickly coated\u00a0YELLOW\u00a0<\/strong>at the base.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LACHESIS<\/strong>.\u2014Left side extending to right, great sensitiveness to touch, and aggravation after sleep.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LYCOPODIUM<\/strong>.\u2014Begins right side, extends to left, with tongue swollen and inclined to protrude from the mouth, and stuffing up of nose.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LAC CANINUM.<\/strong>\u2014Alternates sides, one day worse on one, and the next on the other.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

HEPAR SULPH<\/strong>.\u2014When notwithstanding all other remedies the case seems bound to suppurate and there is much\u00a0THROBBING\u00a0<\/strong>pain. Now with each of these remedies I have aborted many cases in old quinsy subjects, who never expected to, and were told by old school physicians that they never could, get well, without suppuration, and in the end have cured them of all tendency thereto. I will add here that\u00a0HEPAR SULPHUR<\/strong>. is also a good remedy in chronic hypertrophy of tonsils, with hardness of hearing. In these cases which are generally very intractable,\u00a0BARYTA CARBONICA, LYCOPODIUM, PLUMBUM<\/strong>, and others are also to be consulted according to indications.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Upon the alimentary canal\u00a0HEPAR\u00a0<\/strong>has a decided influence. We have already noticed its action upon the throat. The stomach is inclined to be out of order, and there is a “LONGING FOR ACID THINGS<\/strong>.”\u00a0(VERATRUM ALB<\/strong>.) This is often the case in chronic dyspepsia and\u00a0HEPAR\u00a0<\/strong>helps. This condition of the stomach is sometimes found in marasmus of children. It is often accompanied by diarrhea, and a very important feature is that the diarrhoea is\u00a0SOUR<\/strong>; indeed\u00a0THE WHOLE<\/strong>\u00a0CHILD SEEMS TO SMELL SOUR<\/strong>\u00a0no matter how much it is bathed. The sour stool is also very prominently under\u00a0MAGNESIA CARBONICA<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0CALCAREA<\/strong>\u00a0CARBONICA<\/strong>. Then there is another condition of the bowels, namely, a kind of\u00a0ATONY.\u00a0<\/strong>The stools are passed with great difficulty, even though they are soft and clay-like, as they sometimes are under this remedy. This state of atony is also found in the bladder.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Micturition impeded, he is obliged to wait awhile before the urine passes, and then it flows slowly for many days.” “He is never able to finish urinating; it seems as if some urine always remains behind in the bladder.” “Weakness of the bladder, the urine drops vertically down and he is obliged to wait awhile before any passes.” This inability to expel makes one think of\u00a0ALUMINA\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0VERATRUM ALBUM<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0SILICEA<\/strong>. Again,\u00a0HEPAR SULPH<\/strong>. is a great “sweat” remedy, either partial or general. It may, for instance, come in after\u00a0MERCURIUS\u00a0<\/strong>in rheumatism, in which the patient “SWEATS DAY AND NIGHT WITHOUT RELIEF<\/strong>,” and\u00a0MERCURIUS\u00a0<\/strong>does not help. So, too, with quinsy, and in large boils and swellings; and by the way\u00a0HEPAR SULPH<\/strong>. is one of our best remedies after\u00a0MERCURIUS<\/strong>, either in homeopathic practice, or as an antidote to old school poisoning. So also is it the leading antidote to Iodide of Potassa poisoning from the same source. We could not well do without this valuable remedy.<\/p>\n

“Materia Medica” is a term commonly used in the field of homeopathy to refer to a comprehensive collection of information on the characteristics and therapeutic uses of various natural substances, including plants, minerals, and animal products.<\/p>\n

One such work is “Materia Medica,” a book written by Benoit Mure, a French homeopath, in the 19th century. The book is considered a valuable resource for homeopaths and is still widely used today.<\/p>\n

In “Materia Medica,” Mure provides detailed information on over 100 homeopathic remedies, including their sources, preparation methods, physical and mental symptoms, and indications for use. He also discusses the philosophy and principles of homeopathy, as well as its history and development.<\/p>\n

The book is known for its clear and concise writing style, and it has been praised for its accuracy and depth of knowledge. It remains a popular reference for homeopaths and students of homeopathy.<\/p>\n

Overall, “Materia Medica” by Benoit Mure is an important work in the field of homeopathy and is highly recommended for anyone interested in learning about the use of natural remedies in the treatment of various health conditions.<\/p>\n
