Anacardium

Anacardium exerts a depressing influence on the system, not only as to the mind, but as to the 

body as well. It produces a weakness of memory; this symptom we often meet with as the 

result of acute diseases; for example, the acute exanthemata, such as small-pox. The eruption 

of Anacardium is analogous to that of variola. Taking these two symptoms, loss of memory 

and eruptions simulating that of variola, we find an excellent reason for prescribing this 

remedy when loss of memory appears as one of the sequelae of that disease. Anacardium may 

also be useful when this disturbance of memory occurs in old people, or as the result of 

softening of the brain.

ANXIETY

In this woman there is tremendous anxiety and fear when she is alone. She seeks to belong 

to a group/family so that she is never alone. This anxiety is seen everywhere

- Frightened at trifles

QUARRELSOMENESS

When she is discontented she cannot keep quiet, 

she has to quarrel.

COMPANY DESIRE

She wants company and is dependent on it; she is aggravated when alone, must have support and always likes to be with people who support her, yet treats them outrageously.

Mensteual Migraine

Menstrual Migraine – Homeopathy Can Help

By Dr. Vikas Sharma MD 

Menstrual migraine is a term to describe migraine experienced by a woman every month any time between two days before beginning of the menses to 3 days after its onset. Migraine refers to a throbbing or pulsating headache that occurs mostly on one side of the head. It is usually attended with nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound. Menstrual migraine is diagnosed when a woman gets such a headache for at least 2 out of 3 consecutive menstrual periods. Homeopathic Remedies for menstrual migraine gradually reduce the frequency and intensity of the headache in chronic cases.

Causes 

Menstrual migraine occurs from hormonal changes. Drop in the female hormone estrogen that occurs just prior to a menstrual period triggers these headaches.

It doesn’t occur from low levels of oestrogen in a female but from drop in levels of oestrogen from one level to another. In some women taking birth control pills can trigger these migraine attacks. This is because during 3 weeks time from a given month women take pills that supply the body with hormones regularly. But when it’s time to take no pills during pill free / menses week the estrogen level drops right away at high speed leading to headache.

Next around a woman’s perimenopausal time there occur a series of drastic changes that can trigger this migraine. 

Though these headaches decrease in frequency during menopause but women on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) during menopause may also get frequent headaches. During pregnancy these headache may get better.

Symptoms 

Its main symptom is one sided headache. It is usually felt as a throbbing type of pain. To this nausea and vomiting may accompany. Other than this sensitivity to light and sound may be experienced during headache. In some cases a set of symptoms called aura occurs before headache.

Symptoms of aura might include tingling or pins / needles like sensation in the face, arm or leg; bright spots, flashes of light or different shapes before the eyes, temporary vision loss ; Weakness / numbness in the face or one side of the body.

Snake remedies (ophidia) in homeopathy

Dr.George Mathew

Homoeopathic Medicines made out of Snake Venom and their preparation, properties and clinical indications

A considerable part of Homoeopathic materia medica consists of medicines taken from animal kingdom. As the name implies, the Ophidia group consists of medicines taken from snakes.
Ophidia comes under Class Reptilia, which comes under Phylum Chordata, under metazoa. The other Classes in Phylum Chordata includes Pisces, Amphibia, Aviens and Mammalia.

There are mainly 15 medicines in the Ophidia group. They are

1. Lachesis [ lachesis/ lachesis muta, proved by Hering]
2. Crotalus horridus [ Bush master-proved by Hering]
3. Crotalus cascavella [ rattle snake or pit viper, proved by Mure, comes under the N.O.-Crotalidae]
4. Naja tripudiens [ naja; cobra; Elapidae]
5. Elaps corallinus [ Snake; Micru rus corallinus]
6. Bothrops lanceolatus [ viper yellow.Lach lanceolates)
7. Vipera torva (german viper)
8. Vipera communis(common viper)
9. Vipera jedi
10. Cenchris contortrix [ head snake; Ancistrodon]
11. Bungarus fasciatus [ krait]
12. Toxicophis [ snake]
13. Hydrophis cyanocinctus
14. Clotho arictans [ adder]
15. Ophiotoxinum

Sources of drugs
The poison taken from the snakes. Chemically, the snake poisons are cyanhydrates of soda and other salts.
Alcohol is a natural solvent and an antidote for these poisons.

The major poisonous snakes, the poi son of which are made use of in homoeopathy are

1. Viper [ including pit vipers of crotalidae]
2. Cobras [Naja)
3. Kraits [Bungarus)
4. Sea snakes [Hydrophis)

Snake Venom
The Snake Venom is the modified saliva. The venom contains nine enzymes such as

• (i) Phosphatidases
• (ii) Proteases
• (iii) Cholinesterases
• (iv) Hyaluronidases
• (v) Ribonucleases
• (vi) Deoxyribonucleases
• (vii) Ophioxidase
• (viii) Lecithinase
• (ix) Crepsins

(1) In addition Cobra and Krait venoms also contain highly neurotoxic non enzymatic components like basic polypeptides, which cause neuromuscular block.
(2) Viperine venom contains haemorrhagic, necrotic, coagulant and haemolytic substances which lead to extensive necrosis.
Lesions are due to intravascular coagu lation, fibrinolysis, damage to vascu lar endothelium and extensive necrosis
(3) Venoms of Sea snake are neurotoxic. They can also cause extensive tissue

Speed of action of Venom:
This depends on the site of injection and the amount injected. If the venom directly enters the blood stream, effect may be rapid and lead to sudden death. In most of the cases, the absorption of venom is slower and especially in Viperine bites With extensive local reaction, considerable amount of venom may remain locally which will be absorbed into the circulation in due course.

Effect or Clinical features of snake bite:-
I. Immediate response-
Seen in all snake bites. There will be severe fright and mental agitation leading to tachycardia, sweating, hypotension and even vascular collapse.

II. Local reactions:
This is seen more in Viperine bites than in others. There will be intense pain, swelling and violaceous discolouration, developing within minutes and often a sero sanguinous fluid exudes from the fang marks.
Oedema and discolouration spread proximally and in a few hours, vesicles and haemorrhagic blebs may appear.

III. General effects:
The general effects vary with the type of snake.
Cobra and sea snake venoms are pre dominantly neurotoxic Viperine venom is histotoxic and haemorrahagic.
There will be some overlapping of the effects during certain seasons.

IV. Cobra and Krait bites:
They are neurotoxic. Soon after the bite, the patient complains of a sinking feeling, drowsiness, blurring of vision, diplopia, dysphagia and dyspnoea. There will be paralysis of palate, tongue, pharynx and respiratory muscles. There’ll be a flaccid paralysis of the limbs, associated with hypotonia and a diminution in the tendon reflexes.  Coma and death can happen due to respiratory failure or shock in 6-48 hrs. Sometimes the symptoms may present as acute myasthenic crisis.

V. Viperine bites:
It is histotoxic and haemorrhagic. Within 3-4 hours of bite there will occur the following features.

(ii) Haemorrhagic manifestations, which appear as extensive bruises, bleeding from the bitten parts, bleeding from gums, epistaxis, blotchy purpura haemorrhagica, haématemesis and malena. Bleeding can lead to shock.
Cardiac manifestations occur as tachycardia, myocarditis and cardiac failure.

(iii) Rarely, there’ll be optic neuritis lead ing to partial or complete blindness in 2-7 days.
Renal changes occur as proteinuria and haematuria. A dreaded complication due to direct nephrotoxicity is anuric renal failure, the lesions of which are acute tubulonecrosis, haemorrhagic interstitial nephritis and acute glomerulonephritis.
Death in Viperine bite occur due to shock, haemorrhages, secondary infection, renal failure or cardiac failure.

VI. Krait venom is neurotoxic. They present with symptoms similar to co bra bite but is most lethal. Local reaction is minimal.

VII. Sea Snakes-Their venom is neurotoxic and nephrotoxic. There’ll be pain and stiffness of muscles of neck, back and proximal part of limbs. Trismus, ptosis, etc. Ophthalmoplegia and paralysis and the symptoms may lead to respiratory failure. Proteinuria and myoglobinuria occurs. Death is due to respiratory paralysis and renal failure.
