Preface

Generally ailments occur suddenly, and do not spare any home. The patient suffers, and though you
may be educated, it may not be possible for you to render immediate relief, unless you are a
physician. It may be an odd hour when a doctor is not available. More often than not, the doctors do
not have sufficient time to attend, and incidentally you may also be busy elsewhere, and are not able
to come to his or her aid.
Suppose you are alone and fall sick abruptly; if you have no remedy of your own to fall back upon,
your worries multiply and you become a victim of unfavorable circumstances. Similarly, you are in a
village or a town or a city, other than yours, or may be traveling in a car, a bus, a train or an
aeroplane, and get afflicted with an ailment, you have no option except to curse yourself for not
acquiring general knowledge of preliminary safe treatment. In everyday life, it is a common
phenomenon.
To overcome such a situation, it is desirable that you choose, as has been patronized and put into
practice by some wise people in India, and also elsewhere rather admirably, Homoeopathy invented
by internationally renowned German Doctor Friedrick Samuel Hahnemann and Bio-chemic System of
Treatment by means of the Twelve Tissue Remedies enunciated by Dr Wilhelm Heinrich Schussler,
for the welfare and security of members of your family and yourself.
Consequential therapeutic possibilities are scientific, reliable, dependable and safe, with no known
side-effects. Their intrinsic value has been tested and proved on human beings by eminent doctors
from the very inception in different environments. Moreover, it is very easy to administer these
remedies to infants, children, young or old people, male or female. The tongue loves to taste these
sweet powders / globules. On the contrary, it is inconvenient to swallow the Allopathic tablets /
capsules / mixtures as usually they are quite big and bitter. Besides, the Allopathic medicines are
offered to the medical world for consumption after conducting experiments generally on animals,
hence at times are withdrawn from the international markets after observation of some side-effects on
certain individuals in the light of subsequent tests, although the same medicines were very popular for
a considerable period of time.
We derive immense aesthetic pleasure in affirming that no Homoeopathic or Bio-chemic medicine has
been discarded nor will be inasmuch as like Gold it has been tested and proved repeatedly not only
clinically but subjectively and objectively also, on human beings, and has in the process gained
appreciable purity and recognition in different climate and regions.
The Bio-chemic remedies are chemically pure salts, homogeneous to the cell minerals in human body.
By the aid of these salts, disturbed molecular motion in the cells of the living organism is rectified,
disease is overcome and true health restored. The cure denotes equilibrium between organic and
inorganic substances of the body. Altered state of cell is disease; normal state thereof is health. The
objective is to cover a deficiency of the inorganic component directly; all other medical systems
achieve this aim indirectly.
A Homoeopath believes in the unlimited powers of human mind, which we know is the principal seat

of consciousness, thought, volition and feelings. It is capable of creating disease in the body simply
by thinking of the ailment; it is also gifted to remove any disease from which he or she may be
suffering. So the homoeopath does treatment, on principle, in conformity with mental symptoms, and
takes care of physical signs and symptoms in compliance with revealed modalities, which indicate
aggravation and amelioration factors duly. He does not treat the disease; he treats the unique
individual, an embodiment of body and mind. He sees the smoke but in it he recognizes the origin
which is the fire and cures it in a mild, prompt, safe and durable manner as proclaimed by Dr
Hahnemann whose genius is reflected in modern Homoeopathic Materia Medica and Repertory.
In the game of cricket, all-rounders play significant roles. Several Homoeopathic / Bio-chemic
medicines relieve pain, heal, cure as well as prevent diseases, like versatile all-rounders, making
diagnosis convenient. One may as such initially opt for Homeopathic kit comprising of:
1) ACONITE NAP 30; 2) APIS MEL 6; 3) ARNICA MONT 30 or 200; 4) ARSENIC ALB 30; 5)
BELLADONNA 30; 6) BRYONIA ALB 30; 7) CAMPHOR 30; 8) CANTHARIS 30; 9) CARBO
VEG 30; 10) HEPAR SULPH 200; 11) HYPERICUM 200; 12) LEDUM PAL 200; 13) MERC
SOL 200; 14) NATRUM MUR 30; 15) NUX VOM 30; 16) PHOSPHORUS 30; 17)
PODOPHYLLUM 30 or 200; 18) PULSATILLA 30; 19) RHUS TOX 30; 20) SYMPHYTUM 200;
21) SULPHUR 30.

Handy Bio-chemic medicines may comprise of:

1) FERRUM PHOS 6x; 2) KALI MUR 6x; 3) KALI PHOS 6x; 4) MAG PHOS 6x
These are personal preferences, may vary from person to person and in accordance with individual
requirements. Besides, please often study at home Boerickes Homoeopathic Materia Medica & The
Twelve Tissue Remedies of Schussler or any other renowned books on the subject carefully.
Even one prominent symptom may lead you to a remedy for initial assistance. In acute cases, one need
not opt for a constitutional remedy; symptomatic medicine alone will help, may act as a palliative.
We know certain people carry with them some allopathic medicines wherever they go. It would be
appropriate if they take with them above suggested medicines also, after acquiring preliminary
knowledge about them.
Once emergency conditions are fulfilled, if self-treatment does not help much, and the patient does not
get better to the level of expectation, he or she is expected to heed to this amiable caution and contact
a qualified doctor for proper treatment disclosing the steps already taken. An alert patient is the best
judge of his or her state of health.
Delay in treatment must be avoided in any case otherwise it leads to complications. It is precisely
from this perspective that this small book has been written to assist the poor and the rich alike.
The selection of the suggested or other medicines ought to be in conformity with the specific

constitution and characteristics of the mind and the body of the patient to the extent practicably
feasible. The more the signs and symptoms tally the better the chosen medicine is.
Let us illustrate briefly a few experiences, which elucidate miraculous cures by these tiny atoms
(Late Dr S. K. Das of Calcutta used to utter these prophetic words):
1)
It was perhaps 1952 when Mag Phos 6x, every 5 minutes, 5 doses, saved a person.
While traveling in a train, he committed the blunder of not availing of a toilet to pass stools
although there was urge to evacuate, as the train was about to reach Howrah Station, but
unfortunately took rather long time, and on top of it, he had to consume one banana on the
insistence of his niece. So as soon as he reached the residence of his elder brother in
Calcutta, he suffered from loose motions, frequency every 2/3 minutes, with vomiting, much
gas, rumbling, cramp-like pains, great debility, virtual unconsciousness, almost cholera like
symptoms. This medicine, which was taken on the telephonic advice of Dr S. K. Das, restored
his health within half an hour or so.
2)
Once a lady was about to be admitted in a nursing home for an operation of Uterine
Fibrous Growth, which caused profuse frequent bleeding, during her climacteric period. On
being apprised of the efficacious effect of Fraxinus Americana, a Homoeopathic medicine,
she took fifteen drops of mother tincture thereof in water, three times a day for a week. No
operation was needed.
3) Nearly 40 years ago, a young married woman, had Fibroid Tumour in her womb, which
was cured by Kali Hyd 1x, three times a day for a week, and suggested operation was
avoided.
4) Two girls were bitten by a mad dog in our lane some years ago. The dog had managed to
come out of a ground floor flat of one of our neighbors and died the very next day. Ledum Pal
200, three doses at interval of 5 minutes, was administered, followed by Hypericum 200,
Arnica Mont 200, Belladonna 200 thrice a day subsequently. To the pleasant surprise of
everybody, the girls did not suffer from any pain upon mandatory injections being given, and
now are proud mothers of baby girls.
5)
Whenever we go out of city, we carry our kit of Homoeopathic and Bio-chemic
medicines. Once when we were on an excursion trip to Tarapith, we saw a boy writhing with
severe acute agonizing abdominal pain around 6 a. m. just after he had evacuated the bowels.
We at once gave him one dose of Colocynth 30. The relief was instantaneous. What would
have happened, had we not carried with us the medicine, it is not difficult to surmise?
6) Allopathic medicines are well known to give almost always quick relief in diarrhoea /
dysentery, though thereafter we do suffer from constipation / slight uneasiness at times, but
Homoeopathic medicine also stops loose motions immediately, was known to us by chance
from Dr G. L. Mishra, who administered one dose of Podophyllum 30 when one of our
relatives was about to leave from Mathura to Jaipur by bus, but suddenly suffered from fetid,
profuse, watery painless diarrhoea, early in the morning, a few years ago. No nausea or
constipation subsequently.
7) It was 15th of January 1973, when early in the morning a maidservant called on us with
her son of about 11 years at our residence. The boy had taken allopathic medicine the
previous day for fever, which had subsided. As from 4 a. m. or so he had unusual fits of
laughter and screaming, was haunted by peculiar sights, and indulged in murmuring few

uncoordinated words in English every now and then with emphatic gestures, it was surmised
by his mother that her son got overpowered by a wicked ghost. We gave him a few doses of
Kali Phos 6x. We inferred that the brain of the boy had been affected slightly by excessive
heat generated from overdoses of the medicine. The boy became normal the very next day.
The illustrations will be innumerable; it is immaterial whether ours or originating from experts in
the medical world. The scope of the book is limited. So we have confined the instances to a few.
Our contribution to the noble cause is almost negligible in comparison to such human beings who
are serving the mankind selflessly and will be able to throw ample light on these and other life
saving remedies.
Based on totality of symptoms, single dose usually works, but in cases where Miasm (Internal
Pollution) comprises of Psora, Sycosis, Syphilis, even Tubercular etc, which is the prevailing
general trend of modern times, availing of the services of 2/3 medicines in a day sounds
appropriate, on the pattern of treatment by Dr Pratip Banerjee, who has earned name and fame in
the manner, and takes care of, we understand, a few hundred patients daily.
One should never take pride in ones achievements. While prescribing any medicine, one should
invoke blessings of the Almighty, deity or Guru as may be his or her choice. It works wonders.
Failure exhibits erratic selection; success represents correct diagnosis / right choice. The
remedies are omniscient undoubtedly.
We shall consider ourselves lucky if our humble suggestion inculcates desired nutritious thoughts
in sincere devoted aspirants.
On a few occasions, it has been advocated that Homoeopathy generates wonderful cures in the
case of chronic diseases. The notion has emanated from the common belief that it acts slowly but
steadily. We would like to emphasize that the science of Homoeopathy is well equipped to deal
with and cure acute as well as chronic including emergency cases, with an armory of remedies, at
our disposal. Biochemistry also does not lag behind.
The art of general management, of course, is not limited to any particular system of treatment. At
times, one may have to seek assistance from other systems as well, such as Unani, Ayurved,
Allopathy, Naturopathy, Siddha, Surgery etc., with the common noble objective of curing the sick
and the sufferer and to save a precious life. It leads us to conclude that we may have to initiate an
indigenous system of treatment where benefits and advantages of all the systems of treatment are
availed of, to achieve an ideal cure.
However, in a case where tissue of the hormone glands is absolutely inoperative, the valuable
parenchyma has been substituted by abnormal connective tissue, and where precise rectification
of injuries, disorders, deformities or diseases is unfeasible medicinally, as in Renal Failure,
Multiple Gall Bladder Stones etc, use of operative therapeutics becomes imperative.
Surgery is supplementary to Homoeopathic / Bio-chemic remedies in the aforesaid deficiencies

and the latter are complementary to the former. Usefulness lies in perceiving the interconnection,
consistency, and coherence duly. Inherent therein is the power to satisfy the wants of humanity.

Section I
Self-Management
He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.
An Arabian Proverb
We believe that you shall not fall sick, disease will not afflict you and you will be free of any illness
generally, if willingly you observe the golden principles of self-help, self management and selfimprovement as enumerated herein. As it is of primary importance and dignity, we have taken up this
topic first and foremost to ensure that you are always healthy, even without taking any medicine,
solely by practical bearing of this doctrine.
A) Employ the Power of Mind:
1) Be positive always, never adopt negativity. India is the most optimistic nation. The more
you feel good, the more you succeed in sending out magnetic signals to attract objects that
help you feel good. Like attracts like. Master your thoughts and feelings. Thoughts, being
magnetic, have frequency. They will get transmitted, as does your voice through mobile.
2) When you feel down, put on melodious music of your liking or sing. You will feel good.
3) Learn to become still. Energy flows, when attention goes. Practice silence periodically.
Set aside a little time once a while to experience tranquility. You will inherit energy and
enthusiasm effortlessly. You will feel healthy. You will feel prosperous.
4) Whatever the mind conceives elaborately, it achieves. All that we are, is a result of what
we have thought, Buddha. Whether you think you can or think you cant either way you are
right, Henry Ford.
5) Strong faith does wonders. There are several instances, but we cite a few:
a) Cathy Goodman was diagnosed with breast cancer. She believed strongly that she would
get rid of the cancer soon. Each day she thanked God for healing. On and on and on she did it.
She thought rather firmly that she never had cancer. She watched funny movies so that she
could just laugh, laugh and laugh. She did so to avoid stress which is one of the worst things.
Without any radiation or chemotherapy or taking any medicine, she got cured in three months.
The power of gratitude, faith and laughter is limitless. Acquire it, feel it, experience it. By
the Grace of God, you will be happy and healthy always.
b) Morris Goodman crashed his airplane in March 1981, got almost completely paralyzed,
but set a goal to walk out of hospital on Christmas and he did. No wonder, people regard him
as a Miracle Man. Human body casts off millions of cells every second, creates millions of
new cells simultaneously. Kidneys regenerate, muscles revive, cancer dissolves, eyesight
improves and so on and on and on.
c) At the age of five, Shelley Mann was afflicted with polio, yet she commenced swimming
vigorously and at Olympics held in 1956, received Gold Medal purely consequential to her

firm determination, devotion and dedication in spite of her physical deficiency.

6) The past is history, the future is mystery, present is a gift. Give and get joy, happiness,
delight in every moment of your life. It is the secret of true health.
7) Be polite, friendly. Harness harmonious deeds, affectionate etiquette. He who kisses the
joy as it flies, lives in Eternitys sun rise.
B) Use Practical Prophylactics:
1) If you are worried, or in nervous dread/fear, are haunted by visions of the past,
look on the dark side of everything, suffer from loss of memory, hallucinations,
illusions of senses, sleeplessness and/or dreams of fire, robbers, ghosts or of
falling, or any one or two of these ailments, you should take Bio-chemic medicine
Kali Phos. 6x, 5 grains, initially thrice a day for six days, thereafter twice a day for
3 days and lastly at every night only before going to bed. In fact on principle as soon
as improvement occurs, the frequency of doses should be reduced as may suit you.
Patient himself/herself is the primary doctor/ judge of how much and how long any
medicine is to be taken. In any case, one should not be habituated to taking any
medicine regularly. Kali Phos controls the Grey Matter of the brain. So, it is one of
the most
wonderful curative remedies for overworked business man, weary
females, and nervous children. As it assists in regulating blood pressure, it suits one
and all. Alfalfa Q, 10 drops in pure water twice daily for 15 days and thereafter
once daily for a month or until tonic effects ensue, induces mental as well as
physical buoyancy, also quiet, reposeful and refreshing sleep. It corrects tissue
waste, may act as a fat producer. It is helpful in diabetes insipidus (excretion of
large amount of pale urine frequently). Alternatively, one may take Alfalfa, after
breakfast, and Kali Phos at night for some days. Both are complementary.
2) Avoid flood water, mud, grass, in case you have a cut or wound on your feet or
legs. If necessary, wear rain-boots. Stay away from areas where water stagnates as
it is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. You may take Staphysagria 30, one or two
doses. It will act as a prophylactic against Mosquito bite.
3)
Take timely precaution. If you have overeaten, one dose of Nux Vomica 30,
Hahnemanns greatest polychrest remedy, is sufficient to create equilibrium; if you
have consumed too much of rich and fatty food at a feast, one dose of Pulsatilla 30
is required to escape from likely stomach agony.
4) You can prevent conjunctivitis if you use Euphrasia Eye Drops twice daily for
some days, even occasionally. Cineraria Eye Drops have some reputation in the
cure of cataract and corneal opacities, if one drop is used three times a day for
several days.
5) Gargle with Hydrastis Q, 10 drops in lukewarm water after dinner to save you
from any throat infection, as and when needed. You may continue gargling for a few

days.
6)
At times, after meals, swishing around in the mouth for one minute with
lukewarm water containing 2/3 drops of Echinacea Rudbeckia Q helps in
controlling dental caries, canker sores. It serves as a cleansing and antiseptic wash.
It promotes flow of saliva.
7) To get rid of your craving for alcohol, use of Strychninum Nit 3x, 7 drops in
water thrice a day for two weeks helps. Angelica Q, 10 drops in water thrice a day
also produces disgust for liquor, if taken for a few days continuously. Quercus
Glandium Spiritus Q, 20 drops in water three times daily for at least one month
takes away craving of alcoholics gradually. For de-addiction to alcohol, Quercus
Robur 1x tablets manufactured by Schwabe are also quite good. There is another
medicine for this purpose also. Sulphuric Acid Q mixed with three parts of alcohol,
ten to fifteen drops three times daily for several weeks, has been used to subdue the
craving for liquor. The best medicine pertaining hereditary tendency to alcoholism
with craving for alcohol in any form is Syphilinum 1M. Only six doses are good
enough, each dose to be taken after 7 days in the morning in empty stomach.
Syphilinum patient suffers from obstinate constipation and excessive flow of saliva
which runs out of mouth when he is sleeping, and his condition deteriorates at night,
from sunset to sunrise, in summer and at seashore. For your information, this great
medicine has been introduced into Homoeopathic Materia Medica by Dr Swan.
8) For keeping good health, it is imperative that one does not smoke or resort to
habit of chewing tobacco, taking gutkha etc which are highly injurious to health. To
remove habit of gutkha, one should take Tabacum 200 twice daily for a month, even
longer, if suits, but it has to be borne in mind that for giving up such bad habits very
strong determination is an essential prerequisite. Legs and hands of Tabacum patient
usually are icy cold. Though cold, he wants abdomen uncovered, may suffer from
severe nausea, vomiting, cold sweat, seasickness, breathlessness, despondency. For
de-addiction to tobacco, Daphane Indica 1x tablets are also very good.
9) Caladium Seguinum 6 and Plantago Q cause aversion to tobacco hence will be
useful in modifying craving for smoking cigarettes / biries and chewing tobacco.
Five drops of Plantago may be had in water after meals twice daily for some days
and Caladium thrice a day for a week. Peculiarity in the case of Caladium patient
may be that the sweat is sweet and attracts flies, and stomach feels full of dry food.
Moreover, he or she may be suffering from pruritus (intense itching without a rash)
on the genital organs.
10) In case, one is addicted to opium, let him or her take Berberis Vulgaris Q, 7
drops in water 4 hourly until the addiction vanishes. All Berberis pains radiate,
especially in the region of kidneys and are worse from motion and standing.
11) If you are habituated to morphine, you should commence consuming Avena
Sativa Q, 15 to 20 drops in lukewarm water 4 hourly for a few days to get rid of
this obnoxious practice. Its use removes colds, acute coryza, tiredness and
sleeplessness.
12) In case you suffer from obstinate constipation with sore feeling in the stomach

more or less constant, weak muscular power, poor digestion, even ulcers etc., you
should take Hydrastis Q, 7 drops in lukewarm water 15 minutes after both meals
daily for a month or so, and Lycopodium 30, only two doses on two consecutive
days in the morning in empty stomach without taking any food thereafter for about
one hour; you shall get rid of the problem as soon as you undertake it. The simple
course of Lycopodium as suggested herein may be repeated if need be after at least
15 days interval.
13) It has been proved by international researchers that ancient Indian treatment,
namely Jalneti, a salt water rinse for the nasal passages, is a safe and effective
remedy for sinusitis as it clears out allergens and bacteria and causes cilia (tiny
hairs in the nose which push mucus along) to work more effectively. It is a hit in the
West. Let it be in India also.
14) Honey has anti-toxicant and anti-viral effects, soothes throat and reduces cough
symptoms. So adopt this home remedy, if it suits you.
15) Even chewing gum for one hour, three times a day, after abdominal surgery, has
therapeutic value, it has been found out by the researchers. It stimulates intestinal
activity, lowers acid levels significantly, produces extra saliva, and assists normal
bowel function.
16) During menstrual periods, females should avoid taking any Homoeopathic or
Bio-chemic medicine as it is likely to aggravate or suppress the menses or hinder
normal flow of blood. However, in the case of amenorrhoea / dysmenorrhoea /
menorrhagia / metrorrhagia etc., doctor may have to prescribe in accordance with
requirements to regulate menses.

C) Befriend Godly Water:

1) Make drinking water safe by boiling it for at least 20 minutes to destroy all harmful
germs including deadly viruses and bacteria and drink it after cooling it properly. In
case, you have Aqua Guard at your residence, or R. O. Water Purifier, its purified water
is useful, not only for drinking but also for other purposes such as keeping your denture,
if any, fully immersed in it. It does not acquire any impurity, if kept in such a manner
whereas if ordinary water is used for it, it becomes viscous and sticky. Do drink
purified water as much as you can conveniently in conformity with your constitutional
requirements. That Water is godly, has been proved by a Japanese scientist by certain
practical experiments. He kept clean water in two separate glass bottles. On one he
wrote GOD, and on the other he chose writing DEVIL. He kept both bottles in a fridge
for a few days. When the bottles were taken out, it was seen that water made pious
swastika designs in the bottle with the name of God whereas in the other devilish
sketches existed. In ancient times, you have heard that the sages used to cite mantras
with some pure water on their palms while cursing a person, and used to throw it upon
him/her. Now-a-days also a pundit sprinkles water on everybody for purification before
commencing any religious ceremony. Evidently, water does multifarious activities.
2) Wash your hands with soap before eating. Wash fruits & vegetables thoroughly with
clean water if to be taken raw. Make a habit of washing your eyes, face, mouth, hands,
and feet while entering your house from outside to remove injurious elements. It was a
healthy custom in ancient times. Never forget to brush your teeth with toothpaste which
suits you before going to bed. Homoeopathic toothpaste is also good.
D) Adopt Yogic Exercises:
1) Simple Yogic exercises, if done regularly, are immensely helpful in preventing as
well as curing sicknesses / removing sufferings. Also learn Reiki from a Sadguru
and practise it. It will keep you fit and others also whom you help by applying it on
them sincerely, it has been widely reported.
2) Be active, walk more, sleep well and smile. Inadequate sleep increases levels of
a stress, which causes an increase in heart rate, blood pressure and blood glucose and
thereby disrupts the everyday routine. So sleep well - a minimum of 7 hours - to lead
a long healthy life. Your life-style shall be worth imitating. According to a recent
study by the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, California, it has
been noticed that by adopting comprehensive lifestyle changes, as advocated above
and also below, the activity of disease-preventing genes of people increases while
considerable number of disease-promoting genes, including those causing breast
cancer and prostate cancer, get removed. This finding is an answer to those people
who often say, What can we do, it is all in our genes?
3) About three decades ago, the elderly persons used to advise the youngsters that
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise. Now-a-days

no such guidance is being given probably because they themselves are not accustomed
to follow the maxim. If you form the habit of willingly getting up at 4 a. m., you shall
have the privilege of witnessing Amrit Bela, and shall get time for
stillness/meditation and may have blissful intuition to perceive and implement
excellence which emanates from your inner self.

E) Eat less, Gain More:

Eat nutritious food, not rich food. The best snacks are fruits. Dry fruits, vegetable, yoghurt and
cranberry juice are also good snack options. Yoghurt contains friendly bacteria, which corrects
irritable bowel syndrome, offsets side effects from antibiotics and provides us with multiple
health benefits. Cranberry juice is useful for prevention and eradication of urinary tract infection.
Besides, please avoid roadside eateries. If at all you wish to eat outside your home, choose
hygienic restaurants. Ice cream is better than coke, cookies are better than cream pastries, and
thin-crust pizza is better than thick-crust pizza. Always eat a little less than your appetite is. Your
liver, stomach, intestines smile if you do so. Diseases dare not attack such a person usually.
Eating 8 to 15% less adds years to your life. It is an anti-aging trick. It helps you live a more
healthy life. Calorie restriction also slows aging. Cut calories by 20 to 40%.
F) Cultivate Cleanliness:
1)
The most ideal illustration of the maxim, Cleanliness is next to Godliness, is
personified, we are glad to state, in an MLA from Bussy, who has formed a small team and
leads it, it is reported, to spray mosquito repellant across the town, and to clean clogged
drains and undertakes door-to-door collection of garbage from households in his constituency.
He does not do it for any publicity. If throughout the country some young people act sincerely
in furtherance of this noble mission, with or without the assistance of the Government, we
shall succeed in eradicating several diseases. In any case, we should see to it that our houses,
offices, factories, and surroundings are habitually neat and clean.
2) The day you wear dress of your choice, you feel good, are able to work more in less time
without any fatigue whatsoever, but in case you are not comfortable in what you have worn,
you are likely to feel miserable. So, ensure you are well-dressed daily. Similarly, if the food
you are having is tasty, you feel energetic. Likewise interior decent decoration of your home
makes you and your family happy.
G) Inculcate Healthy Habits:
1) Inculcate the habit of passing stools in the morning daily. If you do not do so, you extend
invitation to injurious germs as the faeces if remain un-expelled for long periods form
breeding ground for them. Faeces inside the bowels, you know, are like garbage, regular
timely excretion of which is a must otherwise you may fall sick. Similarly holding of urine
unnecessarily affects kidneys adversely. People generally are aware of this natural
requirement but do neglect it if not trained well or accustomed to this good habit from
childhood. Adopt whatever measures you can in this regard to observe it scrupulously. Do
not disturb the digestive system of yours under any situation or circumstances; it is the golden
rule for maintaining good health persistently.
2) We trust suggestions made would stimulate you to adhere to the enunciated life style. Let
you be a smile doctor. Smile elicits smile. So let us cultivate it for our own wellbeing.

Section II
NORMAL FUNCTIONS OF HUMAN BODY a few glimpses
When we look at our own body, we see the tip of iceberg. If we look inside of our body, we feel
organs, tissues, cells, molecules, atoms and then there is energy, which may be termed vital force
or spirit or soul, as you may like it to be called.
Cell is the basic unit of life. A human body has about 75 trillion cells. A single cell does about six
trillion actions per second, and contains data equivalent to that of 85,000 home computers,
acknowledge scientists. It is heartening to learn from the scientists that in case the molecules of
the human body are put in a straight upward line, the line so formed shall reach Sun and return to
earth more than 600 times.
No wonder we are blessed with pure potentiality. It is inside us. The moment we realize it,
nurture it in right direction, we shall achieve great success effortlessly.
A group of similar cells constitute tissues and tissues form organs. Let us now describe below a
few salient functions of some of the organs, rather briefly, to make you more familiar with the
living organism, before touching remedies for elimination of particular diseases.
BRAIN
The human brain is made up of about 1000 billion neurons and neuralgia. It is lodged in a bony
case, known as cranium, which protects it from external injuries and shocks. Grey matter is
composed of nerve cells and white matter is composed of nerve fibers. Cerebrospinal fluid acts
as a shock-proof cushion for the brain and spinal cord and keeps them moist. Scientists say that if
the nerves of the brain of a person are spread fully, they will cover the whole earth. Even your
eyes have more than one lakh nerves.
HEART:
Degree of work being done by heart and the force, with which it works, is known by Systolic
pressure. Diastolic pressure is the measure of peripheral pressure, i.e., the degree of pressure the
heart has to withstand. It is astonishing that every minute, 5 liters of blood is pumped out from
each ventricle of the heart, passes through tissues and returns to the heart by venous drainage.
Cardiac generators create impulses which are transmitted into cardiac musculature to maintain
heart beat rhythmically.

LUNGS:
Lungs are essential organs of respiration. When air enters our body, it goes down the trachea,
passes through two bronchial tubes, which get divided into four, then eight, thereafter hundreds of

thousands of little air-tubes in each lung, known as bronchi. At the end of each airway, there are
tiny sacs called alveoli. Healthy lungs possess hundreds of millions of alveoli. Each alveolus is
covered with a thin layer of fluid that keeps the sac open for absorption of oxygen and excretion
of carbon dioxide. The lungs also have millions of tiny hairs called cilia. Besides, lungs are
credited with blood vessels and elastic tissues, and purify reduced blood. Oxidation occurs.
Oxygenated blood passes through pulmonary veins to the heart wherefrom it is propelled into
Aorta and supplied to upper and lower extremities of the body.

DIGESTIVE CANAL
It is a long muscular tube consisting of the mouth (guarded by lips and teeth), tongue, pharynx,
oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anal canal. The ducts of the
salivary glands open into the mouth. Small intestine consists of duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
Duodenum receives food from the stomach. The bile duct and pancreatic duct jointly open in it.
Small intestine is roughly about 25 feet long. Its great length provides enough time and surface
area for digestion and absorption of the food stuff. The small intestine opens into large intestine
where water is absorbed and the faeces are formed. The large intestine opens into rectum and
anal canal.
STOMACH
It grinds, digests and propels gastric contents of the food to the duodenum. There are about 40
million gastric glands in the mucous membranes of the stomach. It manufactures a substance
called Castles intrinsic factor. The extrinsic factor is vitamin B 12. The intrinsic factor interacts
with it and helps in its absorption.
SPLEEN
It produces new blood cells, so do lymph nodes and Red Bone Marrow. It also modifies blood. It
is a Haemolymph gland, between 9th and 11th ribs on the left side.
LIVER
It is the largest gland in the body. It weighs about 1.5Kgs. It is situated in right hypochondrium,
and partly in epigastrium regions of the abdomen. Its various functions are:
1. It manufactures bile which is essential for complete digestion of fats.
2. It does metabolism of carbohydrates, fat, protein, hormones.
3. It manufactures all plasma proteins except immune globulin.
4. It regulates blood volume, accommodates one third thereof.
5. It produces prothrombin and fibrinogen which are essential for clotting.
6. Its mast cells form heparin to prevent clotting.
7. It transfers blood from portal to systemic circulation.
8. It forms vitamin A and stores vitamin B 12.
9. It detoxifies toxic substances.
j. It transforms carbohydrates into fats; proteins into carbohydrates.
k. It forms and stores glycogen.

KIDNEY
The principal organs of excretion are the kidneys which are situated in the small of the back on either
side of the spine. Inside each kidney renal artery splits into a network of over a million capillaries.
Each capillary forms into a kind of twisted knot called glomerulus, which filters plasma and
separates red cells & impurities. It is a fine filter.
Each kidney consists of one million Nephrons. If aligned together their length is about 65 kilometers.
Functions:
1) It excretes 1.5 to 2.0 liters of urine per day.
2) It excretes waste products like ammonia, urea, nitrogenous substances, and sulpha drugs,
after protein metabolism.
3) It helps to maintain plasma protein and water balance of the body.
4) It maintains acid-base equilibrium between plasma and urine.
5) It regulates blood pressure during hypoxia (abnormally low amount of oxygen in organs).
6) It regulates erythropoiesis (formation and development of R.B.C.)
7) It plays an important role in Vitamin D and Calcium metabolism.
8) It helps in maintaining osmotic (unbalanced) pressures in blood.
9) It helps to maintain normal hydrogen-ion concentration of body fluids and electrolytes.

Section-III
MORE ABOUT BIO-CHEMIC MEDICINES
Rabindranath held that the biochemic therapy is very simple but very
efficient.
Biology acknowledges Biochemistry to be scientific. Bio-chemic treatment is the outcome of the
teachings of Biology, Physiology, and Chemistry. The human body obeys the laws of the three
essential sciences. So does the Biochemic therapy.
Blood contains organic and inorganic substances. Sugar, fats and albumin are organic constituents
of the blood. The inorganic constituents are water and certain minerals called cell-salts, namely
calcium, potash, lime, silica, iron, magnesium, sodium, chloride etc.
Cell-salts are the workers-the builders of the body. Every disease which afflicts the human body
is purely due to deficiency of one or more of these inorganic builders. Equilibrium of the
inorganic substances is essential to human living organism as much as it is for fertile soil and
plant life.
Life was first born in sea water. Each salt, which exists in sea, is found in human body. Biochemic remedies are chemically pure salts, which are homogeneous to cell-minerals in our body.
The Bio-chemic Therapy uses Mineral kingdom. It triturates the mineral salts. It impregnates the
cells with pulverized minerals. It is the scientific key to normal health of the human body.
The basic principle of the system is founded on Law of Nature. As Nature fulfils vacant spaces
with atoms and other vital elements, Bio-chemic system of medicine fulfils the deficiency by
supplying the missing cell-salt in molecular form to the cellular and interstitial fluid in human
body and naturally achieves cure, establishes equilibrium with other components of the living
entity, activates organic substances to complete proper metabolism.
Salts are absorbed by the cells in the form of ions (electrically charged electrons). The biochemic remedy restores the ion gradient essential for the normal functioning of the cells.
Bio-chemic remedies are twelve, all essential to proper growth and development of every cell of
the human body. In a nutshell, they may be described as mentioned hereinafter:
1)

Phosphates
a) of Lime: CALCAREA PHOSPHORICA
b) of Iron: FERRUM PHOSPHORICUM
c) of Potash: KALI PHOSPHORICUM

d) of Soda: NATRUM PHOSPHORICUM

e) of Magnesia: MAGNESIA PHOSPHORICA
2) Chlorides:
a) of Potash: KALI MURIATICUM
b) of Soda: NATRUM MURIATICUM
3) Sulphates:
a) of Lime: CALCAREA SULPHURICA
b) of Soda: NATRUM SULPHURICUM
c) of Potash: KALI SULPHURICUM
4) Fluoride of Lime: CALCAREA FLUORICA
5) Pure Silica: SILICEA
A granule of salt contains millions of atoms which no human eye can discern.

By proper application of the twelve tissue remedies, which have proved to be polychrests of the
highest order, we shall bring Chemical Hygiene to innumerable persons in times to come. The
role of the Bio-chemic system of medicine is tremendous. It has already made wonderful strides
in U.S.A., Japan, Germany, India and some other countries.
However, it is pertinent herein to state that functional and constitutional disorders, nervous system
disturbances, any type of neuralgia, and several inflammatory and degenerative conditions of
cells and tissues are being satisfactorily and successfully treated with Bio-chemic medicines, but
in the case of infectious diseases, Homoeopathic or antibiotic treatment may be preferable. As
certain antibiotics, it is reported, may harm tendons, precautionary measures may be essential.

Section-IV
POTENCY, DOSES & FREQUENCY
Bio-chemic:
The usual dose for adults is 5 tablets of the indicated remedy, three or four times a day. Each
tablet measures one grain. For children, it should not be more than three grains, twice / thrice per
day. When two or more medicines are required, they should be given preferably in alternation,
every two hours. If the pains are severe, give it in hot water, until desired relief is achieved.
In acute cases, a dose every half hour or one or two hours as may be needed; in severe/emergency
situation, every ten minutes 5 times but one day only, thereafter from next day usual daily doses of
three or four per day; in chronic cases, two / three doses daily.
The best method is to put the tablets below the tongue. For babies and infants, the tablets are
crushed and carefully administered in a powder form or dissolved in a teaspoonful of water and
given from the spoon, but not through the bottle feed.
A diet of fruit and vegetable juices is good for bio-chemic medicines. In any case, strong spices,
stimulants such as coffee, tea, tobacco, and wines should be avoided at the time of taking biochemic remedies.
Frequency should be reduced after amelioration.
Schussler preferred 12th trituration for Calcarea Fluor, Ferrum Phos, and Silicea, but 3x or 6x is
also quite good for each and every Bio-chemic medicine.
Homoeopathic
Generally globules Nos. 20 to 40 are used. Adults take four to six per dose; children take two, at
a time, to form one dose. If in liquid form, one drop in water suffices for a dose. The phials
(small glass bottles) containing medicine should be kept straight and away from sunlight, water
and strong smells. Morning dose should always be in empty stomach. You should not take any
food or drink at least up to one hour before, and after taking the remedy. Intake of camphor,
peppermint, asafetida, cardamom, coffee, onions, and garlic is prohibited.
Normally taking 30th potency thrice a day for two days is safe. In the case of 200th potency, once a
day is good enough. Actually, medicinal intake should be proportionate to the acuteness of the
illness. In an emergency, four/five doses of 30th potency may be taken every 10/15 minutes. But in
such an event, it is better that split doses are consumed. To form split doses one should put two
drops of indicated medicine in half cup of pure water, cover the cup with a plate and from the cup

take one spoonful of the medicated water every 10/15 minutes four or five times only, and throw
away the remainder water. Remember that as soon as improvement is visible, frequency should
be reduced drastically.
Mother tincture, which is denoted by the sign Q is administered twice or thrice a day in water
containing 7 to 20 drops preferably after meals.
Fifty Millesimal (fifty thousandth potency), which are prepared in distilled water and marked 0/1,
0/2, 0/3 and so on, are very effective in chronic cases and are being given one dose a day for a
week or 10 days till the medicine starts its effect.
Exceptions:
There are some Homoeopathic medicines which are usually taken only once or twice in a week
such as are mentioned below:
Causticum 200:
In chronic ailments, especially in paralysis, once or utmost twice a week
Variolinum 200:
It is used as preventive to chicken pox / small pox; only two / three weekly doses.
Inimical:
Apis Mel is inimical to Rhus Tox & Rhus Tox to Apis Mel. So these remedies should not be given
after each other.
We shall deal with this aspect in respect of other medicines as and when such medicines are indicated
to rule out ambiguity, if any.

Section-V
MORE ABOUT HOMOEOPATHY
Similia similibus curentur, i.e., like (diseases) are cured by like (remedies). It is imperative to
choose in each case a medicine which excites affection similar to that against which it has been
employed. To cite an example, when a healthy man uses cannabis (Hashish), he suffers from
hallucinations, uncontrollable laughter, speaks continuously, seconds seem ages and so on. If these or
similar symptoms afflict a person, we can cure him/her by homoeopathic medicine Cannabis Indica
which is made from cannabis. Cocculus produces bouts of dizziness; it is used to treat dizziness.
Thallium is depilatory but homoeopathically cures loss of hair. Peruvian bark (Cinchona) produces
intermittent fever, Cinchona Officinalis, a homoeopathic medicine cures it. The symptoms, in their
totality, are the pre-requirements for selection of a medicine. Sometimes a peculiar sign and symptom
may lead to a remedy; to stretch his/her cold leg out of the warm bed is a characteristic sign for
application of Secale Cornutum. To a layman, advice of Dr Hering that if at least three salient
symptoms of the ailment tally with the symptoms of the medicine, one should go for it without any
hesitation, seems appropriate, although it is true that the more the symptoms tally, the better.
Homoeopathy therefore is a natural therapy. It is based on basic natural principles.
Causes:
For workers handling T.N.T., who inhale and ingest it and also absorb some of it through the skin, 30th
potency of Trinitrotoluene has been used with considerable success in removing consequential
tuberculosis, articular rheumatism, neurasthenia etc., but in case the cause remains, the ailments may
recur after some days.
Health is an episode between two illnesses Ted Kaptchuk
So, removal / moderation of causes is necessary otherwise recurrence of the disease cannot be ruled
out.

Caution:
Although self-treatment by Bio-chemic and Homoeopathic medicines is quite safe generally, as these
tiny atoms are truly versatile and take care of several symptoms simultaneously, diagnostic obligation
demands that you exercise precaution almost always if no improvement is visible in the condition of a
patient within two days of the commencement of the treatment, and refer the case to a qualified doctor
disclosing the medicine(s) given, to enable him to apply the most scientific homoeopathic therapy.
There is undoubtedly no substitute to proper medicinal consultation.

Practical conclusion:
Proper selection of a remedy is actually the domain of a knowledgeable physician inasmuch as it has
to be in conformity with totality of symptoms and in such an event, even a single dose of the indicated
medicine suffices, but as this small book is primarily for The Layman to whom it has been dedicated,
we have not gone for individualistic homoeopathic therapy and have opted for disease-wise resume
of medicines with appropriate indication of a few peculiar characteristics thereof to enable him / her
to choose a remedy suitably for ultimate welfare of a patient as enumerated specifically in subsequent
sections of the book. Let right choice be yours. Precise study of the suggestions will give you ample
skilful confidence.

Section-VI

KNOW YOUR FRIENDLY KIT INTIMATELY

The section contains reliable factors, utility of which is discernible from under-mentioned
disease-wise details:
1)

FEVER:

a) Bio-chemic Medicines
Ferrum Phos, 6x, is the best fever remedy in Bio-chemic system of medicine. It should be given
either alone or in alternation with Kali Mur 6x, every hour/ two hours, as the condition may
demand, during fever. White or grayish coating on the tongue is a sure sign for use of Kali Mur.
Timely administration is the essence of treatment. Delay gives birth to complications. As soon as
improvement occurs, the duration should be increased suitably, inasmuch as excess of medication
is no good under any circumstances.
It is safe as it covers first and second stages of enteric, gastric, typhoid, typhus, rheumatic,
scarlet, yellow, intermittent (with vomiting of food), puerperal, catarrhal and all inflammatory
fevers. It prevents traumatic fever. (Chief remedy for intermittent fever in all its stages of course
is Natrum Sulph 3x; for malarial fever patients Natrum Mur 6x is also required. Such patients
must abstain from milk diet, buttermilk, eggs, and fish)
The febrile conditions also encompass meningitis, measles, chicken-pox, small-pox etc. So there
is no fear or worry while prescribing the two versatile tissue remedies, which also take care of
headache, earache, eye problems, colds, quinsy (inflammation of tonsils & surrounding tissues
with abscess formation), diphtheria, mumps, dyspepsia, constipation, pneumonia, pleurisy, cough,
cystitis, cardiac difficulties, rheumatic pains, abscess, boils etc.
Aggravation by movement is a guiding symptom. Ferrum Phos in low potency should not be given
in the evening, as it is the period of aggravation for this medicine, it is reported, but if absolutely
necessary, one may take it for some relief safely.

b) Homoeopathic Medicines
The kit comprises of five excellent Homoeopathic remedies for fever:
i) Rhus Tox 30

ii) Bryonia Alb 30

iii)
Belladonna 30
iv) Aconite Nap 30
v) Arsenic Alb 30
The influenza may be bacterial or viral, it is safe to prescribe as soon as increase in temperature
is noticed Bryonia Alb if it is summer, if wet rainy weather Rhus Tox or Arsenic Alb, if winter
Aconite Nap or Belladonna. Some peculiarities should be understood:
i) Rhus Tox: In any and every kind of fever, extreme physical restlessness, fear of being
poisoned; complaints relieved by movement and aggravated during rest, from getting wet
while perspiring, before a thunderstorm; triangular red tip of tongue, sensation as if bones
were scraped with a knife, swashing (Sound of washing or rising & falling) sensation in
brain, very chilly, even open air intolerable, dreams of rowing or swimming, tearing pains in
tendons/ligaments, desires cold milk which relieves gastric complaints. Fever may commence
around 7 p.m. and last whole night and/or attack at 10 a.m. and remain whole day. (Apis Mel
& Rhus Tox are inimical, so must not be given after each other)
ii) Bryonia Alb: Fever associated with constipation & bursting type headache, complaints
ameliorate by absolute rest, lying on painful side & pressure and aggravate by least
movement; dryness of mouth, tongue and throat with excessive thirst at long intervals, stools
large hard dry, as if burnt; exceedingly irritable, wants to go home although at home, slow
onset of fever.
iii)
Belladonna: Belladonna stands for violence of attack and suddenness of onset. It
can be prescribed in any season. No thirst with fever. Severe throbbing headache, better by
tight bandaging, worse slight noise; throat congestion causes tonsillitis & difficult deglutition;
hallucinations: sees monsters, ghosts, black animals, various insects; pain aggravates by
slightest touch, even of bed cover, ameliorates after drinking hot water; transverse colon may
protrude like a pad; sleepy but cannot sleep.
iv) Aconite Nap: Sudden rise of temperature with physical and mental restlessness, due to
exposure to dry cold winds, tossing about in agony, fear of death, crowd, crossing the street,
predicts the day he will die, burning thirst for large quantities of cold water, watery coryza
with sneezing, affections of the heart with pain in left shoulders, worse at night and in
evening, better in open air, urine suppressed, music unbearable. Aconite is neither indicated
in typhoid, malarial and low fevers nor alternated with any other medicine. It is quite good in
traumatic fevers. If the case requires Aconite, no other drug is needed. It should be repeated
frequently in acute disease. It is a rapid worker. It may be replaced by other medicine, if
required, next day.
v) Arsenic Alb: High temperature may be due to G. I. Tract infection. Septic fevers. Fever
with gastroenteritis. Intermittent fever. Hay fever caused by pollen or dust in summer with
asthmatic symptoms. In typhoid, after Rhus Tox, not before. Great prostration with mental
restlessness. Fear of death, thinks it is useless to take medicine: afraid of loneliness; burning
pains, affected parts burn like coals of fire, drinks often but little at a time, complaints worse
after midnight, upon lying down, at seashore, better from heat & warm drinks. This remedy
acts on every organ and tissue profoundly. Dyspnoea with gastralgia, dyspepsia and craving
for acids, coffee, milk. Excellent results are seen in the case of abuse of alcohol, injurious

effects of watery fruits, cold drinks, ice cream, spoiled meat, decayed food.
Note:
All symptoms may not appear at a time. So the layman has to apply medicine based on a few
salient features only. No worry, even then.
Security:
The intake of these tiny atoms is safe against assault of disease force upon vital force of the
human body inasmuch as application thereof is indicated in viral or bacterial influenza,
intermittent, remittent, scarlet, gastric fevers, measles, smallpox, heart affections including
Angina Pectoris etc. We may add that urethral fever requires Aconite, Arsenic, and/or Rhus Tox;
for Worm Fever, Belladonna is a good remedy.
No such freedom is at the disposal of doctors who practise allopathy which cures a diseased
action by induction of another action of a different kind hence their remedies differ from disease
to disease almost entirely and if administered wrongly for want of appropriate tests may generate
adverse effects.

Unique Union:
In summer, Bryonia is an excellent alternating remedy for Ferrum Phos, even in bronchopneumonia or bronchitis, besides Kali Mur. We can alternate Rhus Tox with Ferrum Phos when
confronted with fever in wet rainy weather and expect good results. Similarly, in winter,
Belladonna may be alternated with Ferrum Phos. But no alteration is preferred with Aconite Nap.
Let us also bear in mind that Rhus Tox is complementary to Bryonia Alb and Arsenic Alb. So
these remedies follow each other well. If needed, may be given safely. Let us add that in lowfevers ranging from 98.5 to 99.5 F and persisting with dry cough despite medication, Arnica
Mont 30 three hourly for two days works wonderfully,
We cite a few examples:
a)

Rhus Tox, we know, is an acute remedy. A lady of rheumatic diathesis was

afflicted with 101 F temperature, after taking bath in Ganges at Haridwar in the
morning and wore wet clothes for a long period perforce, and had to proceed to
Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath, Badrinath same day in the evening in a luxury bus
for which reservation was done in advance from Calcutta itself. She was
administered three doses of Rhus Tox 30 half hourly and after one hour thereof took
one dose of Arsenic Alb 30. She was all right by the evening to undertake the tedious
journey.
b)
An elderly person of 55 years had made arrangements, which included

conveyance, food provisions & lodging for a picnic party consisting of neighbors,
friends and relations, about 50 persons, from New Alipore, Calcutta to Mayapur, but
a day before it was being held, he got sick and the fever increased considerably as
that day he had to attend office to complete an urgent work. So by the time he reached
home the fever was 102 F. He was the only person who was aware of the plan in
detail, hence he had no choice except to undertake the journey the very next day
otherwise he would have incurred losses and would have caused harassment &
inconvenience to so many families. It was an emergency situation. Moreover, it was
summer, and the heat could have compounded his sufferings. He was given Bryonia
Alb 30, three doses every one hour during day time and at night almost every two
hour. In the morning, the temperature was almost normal and he could complete his
assignment without any problem. No weakness thereafter.
c)
A student suffered from high fever commencing almost after midnight, just two
days before his High School Examinations. He was quite restless. Slightest exertion
caused great exhaustion to him. He could not bear food smell. Arsenic Alb 30 was
administered every two hours first day, and four hourly the next day. Bryonia Alb
200 was also given in the evening on both days. He could appear at his examinations
successfully and did not experience any weakness. It is observed that generally
during Homoeopathic/Bio-chemic treatment weakness, if any, vanishes, but after
consuming Allopathic medicines, it increases.
(However, whenever fever crosses 101 F, some people prefer taking Calpol, an allopathic medicine,
which brings down the temperature and no adverse effects thereof have been reported. Alternatively,
some people use small piece of cloth soaked in cold water on the forehead of the patient constantly
until the fever comes down considerably. It is equally effective. The common objective is to save the
brain from ill-effects.)
2) Shock:
Arnica Mont 200 is the best, to begin with the treatment, frequency of the doses dependent on
condition. Even one or two doses may work. Hypericum 200 follows well. Kali Phos 3x or 6x also
very good, may be alternated with, if need be, Mag Phos 3x or 6x, frequently.
3) Injury:
Initially, if minor, Arnica Mont, one or two doses, may be sufficient but to be repeated, if major. It is
of great use in head injury. It dissolves blood clot and stops internal bleeding. In the case of injury to
nerves, especially of fingers, toes and nails Hypericum 200. Repetition should be in accordance with
the nature of wound. For punctured wounds produced by sharp instruments, particularly in case the
affected parts are cold, Ledum Pal 200, followed by Hypericum, is quite good. It reduces swellings
and prevents tetanus. Ferrum Phos is the most useful Bio-chemic remedy in mechanical injuries to the
soft tissues. It reduces inflammation, relieves pain & congestion, and assists repair-work nicely. It
can also be used externally.
4) Bites:

Bites of animals, spider, scorpion, insects, ants, bees etc, require Ledum Pal, Hypericum, Belladonna,
Apis Mel, if necessary repeatedly. Arnica, Ledum, Hypericum, Belladonna follow each other well in
such cases. For bites of dogs, Kali Phos 3x or 6x also quite good. We shall discuss it further in
subsequent section of diseases.

5) Burns & scalds:

Cantharis 30 is the best. It has to be repeated, if required half hourly. It is also good for urinary
problems. Kali Mur 3x or 6x internally as well as externally is also very helpful.

6) Haemorrhage (Bleeding):
Arnica controls haemorrhage of any kind instantly. Haemorrhage may be into the tissues of internal
organs, it may be from the skin or gums or any artery or vein. It stops bleeding from the gums after
tooth extraction. Two or three doses are good enough. It is a muscular tonic. It is required for
correction of retinal haemorrhage, also for uterine bleeding. It re-absorbs extravasation of blood. It
prevents post-partum haemorrhage. Local external application of Ferrum Phos, in powder form, on
portion wherefrom blood is oozing out, stops bleeding promptly.
7) Headache:
Congestive throbbing headache: Belladonna, Ferrum Phos
Bursting headache, worse least movement: Bryonia
Burning headache with vertigo, worse on rising: Aconite
Headache with sensation as if a nail driven in: Nux Vom
Hammering headache from sunrise to sunset: Natrum Mur

Paroxysmal headache when cold aggravates, heat relieves: Mag Phos
8) Eye problems:
Burning in eyes with acrid tears: Arsenic Alb, Natrum Mur
Conjunctivitis: Aconite, Belladonna
Retinal haemorrhage: Arnica Mont, Ferrum Phos
Iritis, eyes painful on turning: Rhus Tox
After exposure to glare of fire: Merc Sol
Paresis of ocular muscles: Nux Vom
For traumatic injury of the eyes: Symphytum
Feeling of sand in the eyes: Kali Mur in alteration with Ferrum Phos
Squinting: Calcarea Phos, Mag Phos in alteration, subsequently Kali Phos

9) Earache:
Sudden earache with sensation as of drop of water in left ear: Aconite Nap
Inflammation of middle ear with tearing pain & humming noises: Belladonna
Earache due to boil in the ear with discharge of fetid pus: Hepar Sulph 200, 3 doses
Otalgia, worse in bed with itching in ear through Eustachian tube: Nux Vom
Thick yellow discharge from ear with offensive odor better open air: Pulsatilla
Discharge of bloody pus from the ear: Rhus Tox
Roaring and ringing in ear: Natrum Mur
Inflammatory earache after exposure to cold or wet with burning throbbing pain, noticeable pulsation:
Ferrum Phos 6x hourly, 6 doses
Kali Mur 6x, principal remedy for deafness from swelling of the glands & the external ear. There may
be cracking noises on blowing the nose.
10) Toothache:
Worse with hot, better with cold liquids: Ferrum Phos
Non-inflammatory toothache if hot liquids ease the pain: Mag Phos
Throbbing pain in teeth, Gumboil, Grinding of teeth: Belladonna
Hypericum 200, every 2 hours, if excessive painfulness affects nerves. If wisdom tooth pains, it
should be alternated with Arsenic Alb 200, twice daily for two days.
Merc Sol 200: Crown of teeth decay. Teeth loose, tender, elongated; alveolar abscess, fetid odor,
great thirst with moist mouth are characteristic symptoms.
Toothache relieved by holding cold water in mouth: Pulsatilla
Neuralgia of teeth, worse after midnight, better warmth: Arsenic Alb
11) Mouth:
Small aphthous ulcers with bloody saliva: Nux Vom
Ulceration of mouth with dryness and burning heat: Arsenic Alb
White ulcers (thrush), Aphthae; Kali Mur 6x

12) Throat:
Throat constricted, red, hot with angry-looking congestion & difficult deglutition, worse liquid & on
the right side, tonsils enlarged: Belladonna
Sore, burning throat with bluish swelling, profuse saliva, and loss of voice: Merc Sol
Quinsy with pus, shooting pains and a sensation of a splinter in throat: Hepar Sulph
Sore throat of singers, inflamed tonsils, swollen glands: Ferrum Phos

13) Coryza:
Sudden exposure to dry cold winds, much sneezing with dry or watery coryza: Aconite
Thin, watery, excoriating coryza, better warm drinks, no relief after sneezing: Arsenic
Sneezing in sunshine: Merc Sol
Violent, fluent, watery, sneezing coryza with loss of smell & taste: Natrum Mur

Hoarseness with loss of voice; suffocative cough from eating anything cold, worse in morning &
while walking, sneezing in winter: Hepar Sulph 30
15) Constipation:
Bryonia Alb is the best so far as the kit is concerned. Stools seem too large, hard, and dry, as if
burnt, worse in the morning, in summer especially, from least movement; constipation
accompanied by a white-coated tongue leads to the use of Kali Mur. Ferrum Phos is useful in
constipation with anaemia, paleness, flushes of heat, palpitation, piles.

16) Flatulency & Colic

Carbo Veg 30: flatulence with pain worse lying down, temporary relief from belching, weak

dyspepsia from drinking strong coffee, belching of gas difficult, wants to vomit, but cannot.
Flatulence and constipation owing sedentary life; bad effects of alcohol, ineffectual urging to pass
stools, frequent desire for stool. Three doses every 15 minutes will relieve you of the ailment.
Mag Phos 6x: Flatulent colic forcing the patient to bend double accompanied with belching of gas
which gives no relief. Hiccough; craves sugar; averse to coffee; Gastralgia, with clean tongue.
Pains worse on the right side, from cold, relieved by warmth, bending double. It may be given

from flatulent colic also.
18) Dysentery:
Kali Mur and Ferrum Phos, both in 6x potency and in alternation, are generally sufficient to cure
dysentery, if taken in time. If the evacuations are offensive, Kali Phos may be substituated for Kali
Mur.

It establishes equilibrium. It is highly useful to those who lead a sedentary life, take rich food,
wine, coffee etc, and suffer from nausea and vomiting after overeating, with depression of spirits.

it in check
22) Low blood pressure:
Ferrum Phos 6x is very useful.
In the case of a state of collapse when the whole body is icy cold and sudden sinking of strength
exists, particularly after operation, if temperature is subnormal and the patient suffers from low
blood pressure, Camphor 1x, three doses in water at 15 minute intervals has achieved classical
fame according to Dr William Boericke.
Kali Phos 6x is also useful, so are Carbo Veg 30 and Pulsatilla 30.

23) Heart affections:

Before you hospitalize the patient, who is afflicted by affections of the heart with pain in chest
and left shoulder, bounding pulse, tachycardia, arms feel numb, you should give him / her Aconite
Nap 30, at least one or two doses to save him / her from fear, anxiety, worry and tension of
arteries. Arsenic Alb 30 also helps a lot in angina pectoris with pain in neck and occiput. For

Conclusively, in so far as disclosure of the friendly kit is concerned, we confess that the scope for
disease-wise details got confined to the listed medicines only. But we trust this section will be of
practical use to those who study it deeply and avail of the inherent benefits from these versatile
tiny remedies by adhering to the principle of commencing treatment as soon as disease force
overcomes vital force of the human organism. Besides, precise moment for action, it should also
be borne in mind that the duration, frequency, & potency of the medicine to be taken should be in
conformity with the acute or chronic nature of disease, its force, and intensity. Primarily, we
reiterate, patient is the best judge of his condition, improvement and cure. Excess of medication
also no good. The treatment may be put under competent medical supervision, if necessary.
The section that follows deals with specific diseases and corresponding remedies coupled with
some symptomatology.

Section-VII

That it is an excellent remedy, has been proved in a case of an old person who
suffered from tendonitis of the second phalanges. His hand was full of thick, yellow
pus. He had been poulticed, lanced and morphined. But there was no relief. So the
allopathic physicians decided to remove the finger. A day before the finger was to be
amputated the patient consulted Dr A. P. Davis who cured the finger by giving Silicea
6x, a dose every three hours, besides doing Eucalyptus dressing every day. In four
weeks the finger was restored to its natural size and shape. This case has been
narrated in detail in The Twelve Tissue Remedies of Schussler by William Boericke
and Willis A. Dewey.

repeated too frequently. It is invaluable in checking haemorrhages from all parts of the body. It has
been suggested in acute congestion of lungs, arterio- sclerosis, haemophilia, anaemia characterized by
greenish skin and reduction in haemoglobin, and sensation of thoracic constriction with anguish. It is
given three hourly for a few days as may suit the patient.

with bronzed skin, anaemia, feeble heart and debility. Let it be given twice a day in such a case, with
an occasional dose of Natrum Mur as an intercurrent remedy.

AIDS
(Acquired Immune Deficiency caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which destroys
natural defense system of the human body. Presently it is incurable. However, palliative
treatment in conformity with the symptoms may be given to give relief to the patient to the
extent possible, and some cure may be achieved.)
A few Symptoms:
a) Sexual debility attacks
b) Yellowish Cyst develops on the genitals
c) Loss of weight month after month

d) Continuous fever constitutes one of the prominent signs & symptoms

e) Even if fever vanishes consequential to very strong fever remedy, it returns vehemently
f) Patient suffers from diarrhoea, dysentery, T.B., Pneumonia etc frequently
Medicines:
1) Arsenicum Bromatum Q: It is a great anti-psoric and anti-syphilitic remedy. Four drops
should be given in water twice daily after meals.
2)
Echinacea Purpurea 1x or Q: It corrects blood disorders. It acts as a cleansing and
antiseptic wash. It raises bodys resistance to bacterial and viral infections. It may be given in
seven drop doses mixed in water daily, along with Ars Brom.

while walking, it appears that the limbs are made of wood or glass, and would break easily.
The patient should avoid onions.
5)
X-Ray 30: One dose alone may be good enough, if administered occasionally in the
morning in empty stomach. When there are organic changes leading to a stage of incurability,
and carefully selected remedies fail to act, this medicine frequently arouses the reactionary
powers of the human organism. It has the property of stimulating cellular metabolism. It
arouses vitality, mentally as well as physically. If we use it at proper time, it helps in curing
various clinically dreaded conditions such as leucaemia, anaemia, atrophy of
ovaries/testicles, psoriasis, eczema, fistula, necrosis of bones, falling of hair in bunches,
paralysis, diabetes mellitus, obstinate cases of arthritis, gout, rheumatism, osteoarthritis,
spondylosis etc. Its action is centrifugal, so it brings out suppressed gonorrhoea, syphilitic
chancers, skin eruptions, which then can be cured by applicable remedies.
6) Aurum Met 30: The use of gold as an anti-venereal remedy is very old. This remedy is
produced out of metallic gold. So the disease which has been communicated by sexual
intercourse falls within its curative nature. Moreover such a patient develops great desire to
commit suicide, increased blood pressure afflicts him, and he may suffer from atrophy of
testicles. Dosage may be applied as the need be.
7) Sarsaparilla 6, 4 hourly, a few days: Intolerable stench on genitals; itching on scrotum
and perineum; pains due to venereal disease, causing mental depression; colic and backache
at the same time.

cystitis, leprosy, and ichthyosis. The patient experiences amelioration of pains for some time
on his attention being diverted to another topic.
9) Kali Mur 3x: Its deficiency causes excess of fibrin which finds an exit from the body
through urethra. It is a specific when swelling of any parts of the body exists. Five grains to
be given every three hour, preferably with Natrum Mur in 3x potency in case characteristic
watery transparent discharges are observed. Natrum Mur purifies the blood. (Leibig). It is the
principal remedy to throw off poisonous substances and superfluous matter. It is one of the
chief antidotes.

Albuminuria
(Brights disease also)
(Presence of protein, mainly albumin in urine, which indicates inflammation or congestion of the
kidneys or contamination in lower urinary tract, is known as albuminuria or proteinuria.)

Alopecia
(Hair loss)
Dandruff also

Symptoms & Suggestions:

a) If dandruff exists, get rid if it first, then take care of hair. Use Kali Sulph 3x or 6x with
lime & water over the scalp. Dry it, thereafter wash it off. Dandruff disappears.
b) Stress & emotional imbalance take their toll on hair. So avoid tension and inculcate

mental calmness.
Remedies:
1)

Scalptone:

It prevents excessive hair loss, if 4 tablets are taken 4 times a day by adults for a certain period. It
also helps in preventing premature graying of hair, dandruff, itching and dryness on scalp. It is
composed of Arsenic Alb, Badiaga, Calcarea Phos, Fluoric Acid, Natrum Mur, Phosphoric Acid, all
in 30 potency. We know that Arsenic Alb and Badiaga work well if scalp is dry & itches a lot, and
there may be dandruff or circular bald spots; we know that Calcarea Phos is good in the case of bald
spots & hair loss; we know that Fluoric Acid is good for alopecia; we know that Natrum Mur
prevents falling off of hair and cures dandruff with white scales on scalp and we also know that
Phosphoric Acid is the chief remedy in a case where hair falls out and turns gray early. So the
combination has proved to be a beneficial remedy. Besides, one may apply Jaborandi hair oil at night
mixing it with equal quantity of coconut hair oil, to get fast relief. In case you do not like to go for the
above combination, you may opt for taking one dose of Jaborandi 30 every morning for a few days
while applying aforesaid oil.
2) Natrum Mur 6x & Silicea 6x, 5 grains of each together may be taken 4 times daily
over a period of time to overcome alopecia. For falling of hair in spots, Silicea 12x
in the morning and Natrum Mur 12x in the evening have also proved beneficial.
3) Kali Sulph 12x: It will take care of hair fall as well as severe dandruff. It may be
taken every third day, one dose consisting of 5 tablets, for three weeks.
4)
Kali Phos 12x: The chief remedy is Kali-p in 12x or 3-200x potency, three
doses a day, with rest from nervous worry. (Editors of B.Jain)

Remarks:
Eat green leafy vegetables, fruits, dates, almonds, bananas. Soya is a natural inhibitor of DHT, a
hormone which is responsible for alopecia. So include it in your daily diet. Also clean hair and scalp
daily to rule out accumulation of dead cells.

Alzheimers disease
(Pre-senile dementia (feebleness of mind) caused by atrophy of pre-frontal areas of brain,
named after German physician Alois Alzheimer.)
Some Symptoms:
a) Sensorial depression
b) Profuse Muscular debility

c) Very weak memory; power of concentration diminishes drastically

d) Patient often gets afflicted with tinnitus, dizziness, vertigo etc
Remedies:
1) Helleborus 1000: One dose to be given in a month, and may be continued for 6 months.
Mother Tincture also may be given twice a day, as may be suitable, instead of 1000 potency.
The Patient suffers from sensorial depression; sees, hears, tastes imperfectly; answers slowly
when questioned; bores head into pillow, rolls from side to side, beats head with hands; feels
sensation of water swashing inside; remains a picture of acute idiocy, with vacant,
thoughtless, staring wide open eyes. He/she may also be afflicted with muscular weakness,
automatic motion of one arm and leg. He/she swallows cold water greedily, bites spoon but
remains unconscious, may have diarrhoea during hydrocephalus, may have suppressed urine
with coffee-ground sediment. There may be horrible smell from mouth. The condition of the
patient worsens from evening until morning and also from uncovering.

2) Ginkgo Biloba 1x: It is efficacious in Alzheimers disease and senile dementia. It is of

value in the treatment of cerebral dysfunction such as dizziness, tinnitus, vertigo, and
corrects weak memory & poor concentration. It prevents life-threatening blood clots. It
may be taken in water, 5/7 drops twice daily.
3) Kali Phos 6x: The grey matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cellsalt, potassium phosphate. This salt unites with albumen, and by the addition of oxygen
creates nerve-fluid, or the grey matter of the brain. So, let it be taken twice a day.
Besides, one should take Ferrum Phos 6x before 12 noon and Calcarea Phos 6x in the
evening. The trio will take care of grey matter, albumen and oxygen.

Suggestion:
Cows milk is one of the best sources of vitamin B12, which reduces chances of neurological damage
to the brain considerably. So drinking about half litre of cows milk daily protects against declining
trend.

Anaemia
(Reduction in quantity or quality of blood or even both; an anaemic condition denotes deficiency of
calcium and iron phosphates & haemoglobin concentration in blood manifested by paleness of skin,
shortness of breath, palpitation of heart etc.)
Symptoms:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)

Breathlessness on slightest exertion

Signs & symptoms:

a)
b)
c)
d)

The ends of the lids become reddish & thicken

Whitish scales and crusts may form
Lashes fall out easily
Ulcers may be seen at the base of the eyelashes

Remedies:
1)
Aconite Nap 30: Three hourly two or three days; Eyelids inflamed, red, hard due to
draught of cold air while in perspiration; the patient may have burning thirst for large
quantities of cold water.
2) Belladonna 30: Eyelids swollen suddenly with throbbing in eyes on lying down, worse
right side, whereas Aconite worse on left side; pains cause redness of face and eyes, better
rest and in warm room; may be taken thrice a day for two/three days.
3)
Merc Sol 30: After exposure to glare of light as in the case of foundry-men; the
parenchymatous keratitis may be of syphilitic origin with profuse acrid burning discharge;
symptoms aggravate at damp night; it may be given 4 hourly for two days; it may follow
Belladonna admirably, but it should not be had before or after Silicea.
4) Graphites 30: Lids dry, red, swollen, margins covered with scales or crusts; eczema of
lids with moist or fissured eruptions, worse night, warmth, during and after menstruation; may
be taken thrice a day for two/three days.
5) Natrum Phos 6x: Blepharitis with acrid lachrymation; inflamed lids pain and burn; there
may be stricture of lachrymal ducts; worse at seaside, cold weather, morning; it can be given
two hourly for a week or so.

6) Silicea 6x: Besides Blepharitis, there may be boils and cystic tumors around eyes and
lids; may be taken thrice a day for a week or so.

Boils
(Furuncle)
(Hard inflamed suppurating tumor)

Remedies:
1)
Belladonna 30: As soon as boil is noticed, one or two doses may achieve the
elimination but in case it is quite hard, Merc Sol 30 should be alternated 3 hourly for two
days.
2)
Anthracinum 200, twice a day for 2 or 3 days: It is very useful in boils or boil-like
eruptions. It is also very useful in recurrent boils. It follows Arsenic Alb well. Silicea
follows it well.
3) Bio-chemic remedies:
a)
Ferrum Phos 6x: It should be used, like Belladonna, in the beginning for the
inflammatory stage, one or two doses hourly, for one or two days, to reduce heat, pain,
blood-accumulation and throbbing.
b)
Kali Mur 3x: In the second stage for the swelling to disappear before pus forms;
should be administered in alternation with Ferrum Phos.
c) Calcarea Sulph 6x: It is needed two hourly for a certain period to reduce and control
suppurations. In true suppurations, it is always the chief remedy. Presence of pus with a
vent is the general indication. A warm dry atmosphere assists the action of this remedy
highly. Silicea 12x follows it admirably.
d) Silicea 12x: Tendency to boils in any part of the human body requires this medicine,
especially in the spring time, if the affection is deep seated and the discharge contains
yellow offensive pus. Skin heals slowly, suppurates easily.

Brain-fag
(Highly nervous brain, mental exhaustion, cerebral depression)

Symptoms:

a)
b)
c)
d)
e)

Want of brain and nerve power

Nervous exhaustion
Defective vitality
Anaemia
Patient suffers from hallucinations and delirium

Remedies:

1) Bio-chemic:
a) Kali Phos 3x, 4x, or 6x: It restores nerve-power, removes depression of spirits, enhances
memory, reduces sleeplessness; should be taken thrice a day for a month or two as it may suit
the patient. Dr Schussler has recommended persistent use of Kali Phos 6x, a dose in the
morning, and Silicea 12x, a dose at night.
b)
Calcarea Phos 6x: Loss of vigor, numb sensation, depression of spirits with nervous
prostration & profuse night-sweats leads to selection of this remedy along with Kali Phos,
since brain-fag is either due to deficiency of potassium phosphate (Kali Phos) or due to loss
of albumen. Use of Ferrum Phos 6x occasionally is good for proper supply of iron & oxygen.
c) Calcarea Sulph 6x: Usually Kali Phos is a good remedy to start with, it gets the mind in
good condition, and aided by Calccarea Phos, Ferrum Phos or Natrum Phos, dependent on
condition, soon begins the improvement. Then follow with Calcarea Sulph as soon as the
Phos has built up the nerve-cells, and the Sulph is needed to finish up the work which may
take from three months to two years or more. (F. D. Bittinger, M. D., Dayton, Ohio)
2) Homoeopathic:
a) Zincum Metallicum 30: The patient suffers from cerebral depression, defective vitality,
brain-fag with forehead cool but base of brain hot, may have convulsive twitching, fidgety
feet, trembling; may roll head from side to side; cannot withstand smallest quantity of wine;
natural discharges relieve all sufferings; may be given three times a day for two or three days
or as may suit the patient. It is inimical to Nux Vom and Chamomilla which should not be used
before or after Zinc Met.
b) Picric Acid 6: It is taken four hourly for a few days. It is a summer remedy as during hot
weather the patient is worse, sits still and listless after prolonged mental strain, anxiety and
fear of examinations or any other matter.
c)
Anhalonium Q: It is a remedy for brain-fag, delirium, megrim, hallucinations, with
colored brilliant visions. It also works as a cardiac tonic and respiratory stimulant; seven
drops may be taken in water thrice a day for a few days.

Bronchitis
(Inflammation of the mucous membranes of the bronchial tubes)

Signs & symptoms:

a) Acute bronchitis occurs in wet or cold weather
b) When nose is blocked, one breathes through mouth and inhales
impurities and cold

c) Chronic bronchitis is related to smoking or air-pollution

d) The principal symptom involves cough with mucoid sputum, worse in
the morning and during winter
Remedies:
1) Ferrum Phos 6x: In acute or chronic bronchitis, it is the remedy for inflammation of the
bronchi, short oppressed breathing, burning soreness, congestion, painful hard cough, and
should be alternated with Kali Mur 6x every two hours for a few days. Sometimes,
depending on the symptoms, (such as coming into warm room excites coughsensation
as if chest would fly into pieces, the least motion aggravates), Bryonia Alb 30 has been
found excellent alternating remedy for Ferrum Phos. In such a case, no other remedy is
needed. It can also be alternated with the remedy indicated by the type of expectoration;
when the expectoration is white & tenacious, Kali Mur; when clear watery, Natrum Mur;
when distinctly yellow, Kali Sulph; when albuminous, Calcarea Phos; when yellowish
green, Calcarea Sulph.

simultaneously, in case breathing almost stops on falling asleeprather the patient
sleeps into an aggravation.

Burns & Scalds

(Homoeopathy and Biochemic remedies give miraculous results if treatment is

commenced immediately in mild to moderate severity of burns. Advanced cases need
hospitalization.)
Remedies:
1) Cantharis 30: For burns, scalds, with rawness and smarting, ameliorated by cold
application, it is the chief remedy and is given 2 hourly, even at early intervals of 30
minutes if need be, during the first day. It bears repeated doses well. Externally, 1x, or 2x
in water, or as cerate. External use of Cantharis Q, 20 drops in one ounce purified water,
is equally good and relieves pain and burning rapidly. Of course internal application
should also be continued simultaneously. If wound has formed, apply Calendula lotion,
two/three times daily. It is the most remarkable healing agent, even for open wounds.
2)
Calendula 6: It is good for superficial burns and scalds, also for lacerated
scalp wounds. It promotes healing (cicatrisation) and healthy granulations and
prevents suppuration sufficiently. It is also useful in the case of proud flesh
(overgrowth of granulations springing on wound), old neglected wounds threatening
gangrene.
3)
Picric Acid: A one per cent solution applied on lint is the best application for
burns until granulations begin to form.
4)
Urtica Urens 30: Burns due to pouring of hot water or hot oil before blisters
form, two hourly for two/three days.

Kali Mur 3x: Burns and scalds of any degree; scalds from boiling water;
moisten lint with a strong solution of Kali Mur 3x and apply it frequently without
removing the lint or put the affected portion in water containing Kali Mur 3x, 30
grains, for some time, it would relieve the pain of severe burns. In case, there is heat
and redness, use Ferrum Phos 2x as a powder to dust over the burns. Kali Mur 3x , 5
tablets, should be taken internally also, every half hour 6 or 7 doses, thereafter
duration should be increased substantially as may be required, may be two hourly.
When suppuration occurs, Calcarea Sulph 6x should be given thrice a day.

Cancer
(A malignant growth or tumor anywhere in the body, eats the affected part, tends to spread
indefinitely, returns after removal violently. Yoga and meditation provide relief. Holistic
Homoeopathy and Bio-chemic remedies provide resistance, pain relief and mental support.
Cancer cells do not thrive in oxygenated condition. Vegetables like cauliflower, cabbage and
tomatoes are rich in vitamins A, B, E, so act as anti-oxidants.)
Precaution:

Look out for a lump which grows in the breast or elsewhere in the body
An ulcer that does not heal quickly
Prolonged Bleeding
Persistent cough lasting more than two weeks
Changes in moles, warts, bowels

A) Bio-chemic Remedies:
1) Kali Mur 3x: Tumors arise primarily from a Kali Mur deficiency which causes an excess
of fibrin in the organism and leads to a tumor. Recent cases of cancer of the breast with
prominent symptom of softness & tenderness are curable by use of Kali Mur 3x thrice a day
for several days.
2)
Ferrum Phos 3x: It is an excellent alternating remedy for excessive pains in cancer.
Cancer of tongue has been greatly benefited by Ferrum Phos and Natrum Phos. So both

1)
Carcinosin 200: It acts favorably in cases in which a history of cancer or
cancerous cachexia is observed. Cancer may be of mammary glands or of uterus. The
patient suffers from severe pain, indigestion, accumulation of gas in stomach. A dose
at night or less frequently may be given. Alternatively, three doses in 1m potency may
be given fortnightly. After a gap of about ten days one dose of Sulphur 200 may also
be administered in the morning.
2) Radium Bromide 0/3: Ulcers & cancers due to Radium burns or consequential to
any other cause. To reduce severe pain in any tissue or organ, worse at night, better
hot bath, one dose in morning in empty stomach for ten days. In case slight
improvement is observed, it should be repeated, and subsequent such doses may be in

0/5, 0/7, 0/9 fifty millesimal potencies respectively. Echinacea Q, 10 drops in one

sleeps or even when closing the eyes.
6) Eyes Cancer: For bony tumors of the orbit, Kali Hyd 1x 2 drops in water 3 times
a day; intense pain over eyes and root of nose, with facial neuralgia & profuse
lachrymation, worse warm room and at night; cold food and drink especially milk
aggravates.
7) Ear Cancer: For cancer in ear, Belladonna 30 three times a day for a few days, if
tearing pain in middle and external ear, and parotid gland swollen, thereafter,
Calcarea Carb 200, weekly one dose in morning, when the patient is sensitive to cold

8) Nasal Cancer: In the case of caries of nasal bones, ozaena (fetid nasal ulceration
& offensive discharge from nostrils), worse on warm applications, left side and at
night, Asafoetida 6, 4 hourly will act favorably. The patient may be suffering from
obstinate constipation and violent gastralgia.
9) Cancer of lips, armpits, oesophagus, stomach, liver, left side of breast or anus
with painful cracks in corner of mouth, constant burning pains, varicose
ulcers, gastralgia, vomiting of coffee ground masses, loss of appetite and/or
emaciation, Condurango 30, 3 hourly for a week will be quite useful. It may be
followed by Hydrastis Can Q, 7 drops in water twice a day for a month or so
advantageously. Both remedies take care of weak muscular power, poor digestion and
obstinate constipation. For cancer of liver, obstinate hepatic engorgements, gallstones
and insomnia, Cholesterinum 3x is also very effective, and may be taken thrice a day.
10) Cancer of Gums: The best remedy relating to problems of gums is Hekla Lava,
which should be taken preferably in 3x potency in powder or tablet form 4 hourly for
some days. The medicine mixed with saliva may be kept in mouth for about 5 minutes
and thereafter swallowed to get speedy relief. It is also of great use in ulceration of
nasal bones, abscess of gums, bone necrosis, osteo-sarcoma (malignant tumor of
bone), facial neuralgia from carious teeth and after extraction, swelling of jaws.
11) Cancer of tongue: Use of Galium Aparine in cancerous ulcers and nodulated
tumors of the tongue has been clinically confirmed. It favors healthy granulations on
ulcerated surfaces. It has power of modifying cancerous action. Besides, it acts on
the urinary organs, is a diuretic and of use in dropsies, gravel and calculi. Its fluid
extract, half-dram doses, in a cup of water or milk is taken three times a day. Kalium

Cynatum 6 also is quite beneficial in cancer and ulcers of tongue. There may be
sudden sinking sensation, agonizing neuralgia and loss of power of speech. Symptoms
may worsen from 4 a. m. to 4 p. m. It may be taken thrice daily.
12) Cancer of neck: Malignant diseases of the glands of the neck are cured by Cistus
Can 30 three hourly. The patient is extremely sensitive to cold and may entertain

over body when child nurses; excessive continuous flow of milk from breast even
after weening the baby. Shooting pain into ears on swallowing; cannot swallow
anything hot, even water; tonsils swollen; ulcerated dark red or bluish red throat;
uvula large, and dropsical. Commencing with 200 one dose daily in the morning for
two/three days, one may have to prescribe higher doses such as 1M, 10M infrequently
as may be required under advice from a qualified doctor, depending on the
improvement which may take place gradually. Mercurius is inimical. So it should not
be given after Phytolacca. However, Asterias Rubens 6 or 30 every 3 hours is needed
if left breast feels as if pulled inward, and pain extends over inner arm to end of
little finger, and there is heat in head, as if surrounded by hot air. It influences cancer
disease favorably, even in ulcerative stage with sharp pains up to scapulae, worse
motion.
14) Cancer of throat: In case the patient takes cold easily, almost always suffers from
swollen tonsils with pain in pharynx or larynx, can only swallow liquids and
befriends grief over trifles, Baryta Carb 30 three times a day will be beneficial.
Nose, Larynx, Lungs may feel as if smoke inhaled. It is slow in action, bears
repetition well. Calcarea is inimical. If mucus sticks in throat and cannot be forced up
or down, pain worse left side and upon swallowing saliva or hot drinks, Lachesis 200
single weekly dose in morning will be quite helpful. The patient may have sensation
of suffocation and strangulation on lying down. Acetic Acid and Carbolic Acid are
incompatible to Lachesis.
15) Cancer of intestinal tract: Pains increase when food passes pyloric outlet;
distention of stomach and duodenum occurs; there is depression of spirits with
complete prostration; Ornithogalum Umbellatum Q, 2/3 drops in water, 3 hourly for
some days helps a great deal.
16) Cancer of Uterus: For cancer of uterus with burning pain down thighs, painful
indurations in right breast, night sweat, putrid discharges, weak digestion, inability to
speak after appearance of menses, Carbo Animals 30 has to be given three times per
day. Simultaneously Calcarea Phos 6x twice per diem may be given to ensure good
results. However, if the patient suffers from dropsy, offensive bloody leucorrhoea
with burning pain in uterus and vagina and deficiency of haemoglobin and red
corpuscles, Calcarea Ars 3 or 6 should be given 3 hourly and no harm in continuing
with Calcarea Phos.
17) Cancer of Ovary, vagina, cervix, uterus: Aurum Mur Nat 3x has more power
over uterine tumors than any other remedy. Chronic metritis (inflammation of uterus),
ossified uterus, ulceration of the neck of womb and vagina with leucorrhoea,

hardened cervix & ovaries, ovarian dropsy (morbid accumulation of watery fluid in
ovary), inadequate shrinkage of uterus after delivery, high blood pressure, are some of
the guiding symptoms. Let it be given thrice a day.

feet and legs and backache which is relieved only by lying on abdomen. Bio-chemic
Kali Sulph may also be given.
20) Cancer of testicles: Clematis Erecta 30 is used twice a day when testicles hang
heavy or retracted with pain along spermatic cord, worse right side; there is swelling
of scrotum and urine is emitted drop by drop. If testicles are worse on left side,
Rhododendron 6 should be used likewise. The patient may suffer from hydrocele and
may have swollen, painful, drawn up testicles. Aurum Metallicum 6 or 30 also very
useful in atrophy of testicles, chronic swelling and pain thereof.
21) Cancer of face: Thuja Oc 30 may be used three hourly in case there is rapid
exhaustion and emaciation. It may be due to ill-effects of vaccination or suppressed
gonorrhoea. There may also be warty excrescences. After a few days, one dose of
Thuja in 200th potency should be given after every 7 days.
22) Cancer of bone/periosteum: Symphytum 6, four times per diem is quite useful. It
acts on joints favorably. It is also very good in injuries to sinews and tendons
23) Cancer of Pancreas: Pancreas secretes digestive enzymes and insulin. Iris
Versicolor 30 covers pancreatic diseases substantially. It can be had 3 hourly.
Besides, in alternation with Lycopodium 30 or 200 it takes care of constipation (Lyco
should not be taken between 4 & 8 p.m. as it is the period of aggravation for Lyco).
Iris Vers increases the flow of bile; cures biliary bloody vomiting and burning of
alimentary canal, and affects favorably salivary, intestinal & pancreatic glands.
Calcarea Arsenicum 6 relives burning pain in cancer of pancreas. Slight exertion
worsens the sufferings. Liver and spleen may be enlarged.
24) Cancer of Prostate: In prostate hypertrophy, Sabal Serrulata Q is of unquestioned
value. Fifteen drops should be taken in half cup of water three times per day. It
reduces discharge of prostatic fluid and restricts wasting of testes. For senile
enlargement of prostate, it is better if Ferrum Picricum 6 is also taken twice daily to
complete the action of Sabal Serrulata. Glycyrrhiza Glabra Q also can be used as a
supplement with Sabal Serrulata. It possesses cancer cell inhibiting properties in
prostatic hyperplasia. In case prostatic problems persist, one dose of Conium 0/3 may
be taken daily for a few months followed by Ars Iod 0/3 & Calcarea Carb 0/30 once
daily for a month or so.
25) Cancerous diathesis: Scirrihnum is a cancer nosode and may be used in 30th
potency three times daily for a certain period. It is good for enlarged glands, cancer of
breast and worms. Hoang Nan Q, 5 drops in water twice daily removes fetor and

haemorrhage in cancer, revives the healing process. It follows Arsenic Alb well.

A special note on Cancer, AIDS & other fatal diseases:

Foremost is your own firm faith in you yourself, Blessings of God, and completely stress-free life.
The unlimited power of the intrinsic faith converts the medicine into an omniscient remedy, and cures
howsoever deadly the disease may be. Tension, worry, anxiety, on the other hand, convert a medicine
into crude drug and reduce its efficacy. Proper medical supervision is essential. We have taken up
Leukemia (blood cancer) separately

Carbuncle:
(It is an infective gangrene found in the skin and sub-cutaneous tissues, commonly at nape of the neck)
Remedies:
Anthracinum 200: For carbuncles with horrible burning pains and foul secretions, gangrenous ulcers,
bubo, septicemia insect stings, black or blue blisters, it is a very good remedy and may be given
thrice a day for 2 or 3 days, followed by Silicea 12x and Calcarea Fluor 12x twice a day for some
days.

Cervical Spondylitis

Remedies:
1)
Phosphoric Acid 0/3, twice a day: It suits best to persons who had
strong constitution, but have become very weak by loss of vital fluids;

mental debility first, physical later. The patient is apathetic, indifferent, and
listless. It is the principal remedy for cervical spondylitis; inflammation of
vertebrae with tearing pains at night as if joints/bones scraped with a knife.
There may be paralytic weakness of spine and boring pain between
scapulae. Pains are better by warmth.
2)
Cimicifuga Racemosa 200, twice a day for 2 or 3 days: It removes
stiffness and contraction in neck and back and also rheumatic pains in neck
& back. It has a wide action upon cerebrospinal and muscular system. The
patient feels better from warmth and after eating.
3)
Cocculus 30, 4 hourly, 7 days: It is good in the case of cracking of
cervical vertebrae when walking; paralytic pain in small of the back with
pain in arms and shoulders as if bruised, while riding in a carriage.
Magnetis Polus Arcticus 30, 6 hourly, also helps in cracking of cervical
vertebrae if there is sensation of coldness.
4)
Calcarea Phos 6x and Mag Phos 6x, each 5 tablets twice a day in
lukewarm water: This alternation will cover rheumatic pain and stiffness of
neck, cramp-like pain in neck and around shoulder blades, spinal curvature,
neuralgic pains with sensation in the limbs resembling electric shocks,
relieved by heat, aggravated by cold.

Chicken-pox
(Acute contagious disease occurring usually in children with fever accompanied by sparse eruption of
papules, which turn into vesicles and thereafter into pustules; incubation period being 14 to 18 days.)
Sign & Symptoms:
a)
b)
c)
d)

The rash usually appears within 24 hours of the onset.

In 38 to 48 hours it turns into pustules.
By the 4th day the pustules shrivel and form crusts.
Pains in the back, vomiting, pyrexia are milder than in small pox.

Remedies: (The same remedies are very good for Small-pox also. It has been eradicated. So we have
not dealt with it separately.)
1) Bryonia Alb 30: One or two doses will bring out the eruptions.
2)
Variolinum 200 or 1M: After chicken-pox eruptions are seen clearly, only one dose
should be given in the morning. It would be sufficient to cure rapidly.
3) Hydrastis Can 200: After 4/5 days of administering Variolinum, one dose of Hydrastis is
given to mitigate adverse consequences of chicken-pox.
4) Ferrum Phos 3x: The treatment may be commenced with Ferrum Phos, the bio-chemic
remedy, which alone may serve the purpose. It may be alternated with Kali Mur 3x, 2 hourly,

if white coated tongue is seen, as the basic cause of chicken-pox is a deficiency of the
inorganic salt Kali Mur. When the skin is dry, rough, hot or when eruptions have been
checked, alternate Kali Sulph 6x with Ferrum Phos.

Preventives of Chicken-pox, Small-pox:

1) Variolinum 200: one dose to be given in a week, total 3 doses.
2) Malandrinum 200: In lieu of Variolinum, it may be given similarly.
3)
Solanum Xanthocarium 30: It also acts as preventive to Chicken-pox & Small-pox
effectively, if 2 doses per diem are taken for three days, total 6 doses. In such a case,
Variolinum or Malandrinum are not required to be used. It is also a remedy for bronchopneumonia, asthma, retention of urine.

Chikungunya
(It is a relatively rare form of viral fever. The symptoms include headache, conjunctivial infection,
slight photophobia, high fever, a petechial or maculopapular rash and crippling pains affecting
multiple joints.)

Remedies:

Eupatorium Perfoliatum 200: It is a boon in miasmatic districtsand in all
conditions where there is a great deal of bone-pain. There may be throbbing
headache, vertigo, vomiting of bile, hiccough, coryza, swelling of great toe.
Perspiration relieves all symptoms except headache. It may be given thrice a day for
3/4 days.

3)
Belladonna 30: If besides high fever, rash appears and spreads suddenly, it
should be given in split doses (one or two drops in half cup of water, and from it one
teaspoonful to be taken every half hour, total 4 or 5 doses). Later on, if required, it
may be taken 4 hourly for one or two days.
4)
Aconite Nap 200: one dose every alternate day, total 3 or 4 doses, as a
preventive medicine.
5) Bio-combination No.11 of SBL or Schwabe, 4 hourly may also be quite useful.
Remarks: Chikungunya is a dangerous disease. If condition does not improve despite medication,
hospitalization is a must.

Cholera:
(Highly infectious intestinal disease characterized by bilious vomiting, diarrhea, sudden loss of fluid,
scanty urine, weak pulse and drastic fall of blood pressure, abdominal pains and cramps. The
discharge from the bowels resembles rice-water. The patient should be urged to drink hot water as
much as possible conveniently. A half teaspoonful of salt should be added to each quart of water.)
Remedies:
1. Camphora 30: It is characteristic of Camphor that the patient refuses to be covered,
notwithstanding icy coldness of the whole body with sudden attacks of vomiting,
diarrhoea and complete prostration of the vital force. The patient suffers from low
blood pressure, weak pulse, a state of collapse and cramps in calves. Amelioration
occurs when the patient thinks of the ailment and drinks cold water. First few doses
may be given half hourly.
2. Cuprum Met 30: The tongue of the patient protrudes and retracts like that of a snake.
Nausea is greater than in any other remedy. Summer causes cholera with cyanosis,
severe colic, spasms and cramps in abdomen, also in calves, and soles. Vomiting is
relieved by drinking cold water. First few doses may be given half hourly. In cholera,
Veratrum Alb is complementary.
3. Veratrum Alb 30: The patient has thirst for cold water, but it is vomited as soon as
swallowed; violent vomiting with profuse diarrhea and cold perspiration on the
forehead and icy coldness of the tip of nose; cramps in calves. First few doses may be
given half hourly.
4. Arsenic Alb 30: It is a very good remedy for cholera, which is caused by consumption
of decayed food, spoiled meat. It may be due to injurious effects of watery fruits.
Intense agony, prostration, and burning thirst characterize cholera. Mentally restless,
physically too weak to move. Great thirst for cold water, drinks often but little at a
time; burning pains; the affected parts burn like coals of fire; body cold as ice; craves
milk, coffee, acids. Symptoms generally worse 1-2 p.m., 12-2 a.m. Three doses half
hourly may be good enough.
5. Kali Phos 6x: It is a specific Biochemic medicine against cholera. Dr Schussler
himself has cited a case of an old person who was attacked by severe vomiting and
diarrhoea, accompanied by exceedingly painful cramps in calves, low pulse and ricewater discharges. Kali Phos cured. Four or five doses consisting of 5 grains may be
given every 5/10 minute in hot water, as may be required.
6. Cholera Infantum frequently appears among teething children in summer, due to
deficiency of Calcarea Phos which may be given in 6th trituration, 2 tablets thrice a
day in hot water. If febrile symptoms appear, it may be alternated with Ferrum Phos
6x. During attack the child should not have any milk; food also should be as less as
possible. As soon as it recovers, barley water with a little cream and warm water are
recommended.

7. Natrum Sulph 3x acts as a preventive of cholera as it regulates the water in the blood
and should be taken in hot water. A deficiency of sodium chloride leads to cholera. So
Natrum Mur 3x may also be needed.

Chorea (St. Vitus dance)

(Involuntary twitching, contortions & movements of the muscles of face and other limbs; It usually
occurs in children, especially girls due to deficiency of the cell-salt, Mag Phos.)
Signs & Symptoms:
a)
b)
c)
d)

Involuntary movements cause the child to drop things and make faces.
Chorea often affects one side of the body.
Weakness of the affected side is extreme

Remedies:
1) Mag Phos: It is the chief remedy. For your precise appraisal, we cite hereby three case
records:
i)
Face and upper part of body affected; lateral and downward
jerking of the mouth, snapping of eyelids, sudden forward motion of
head, and other irregular movements. Better during sleep, aggravated at
stool and by emotions, Ignatia failed. Mag Phos 6x, for three months,
produced gratifying results, but did not fully cure. Acting on Dr
Schusslers advice, Calcarea Phos. 6x was given alternately with
Magnesia Phos; the former once daily, the latter twice. In one month the
child was cured. (D.B. Whitter, M.D.)
ii)
The patient talking to herself constantly, or sitting still in
moody silence, or carrying things from one place to another and then
back again. Magnesia Phos 12x cured.
iii)
A girl of 6 years was admitted to the London Homoeopathic
Hospital she had suffered from well-marked chorea during the
preceding eight monthsOn admission she twitched all over during her
waking hours, but was quite during sleep. She walked fairly well and
could feed herself, but her speech was exceedingly defective
Magnesia Phos was prescribed-two grains of the sixth trituration, three

times daily. The improvement which followed was slow, but abundantly
manifest.

2) Stramonium 200: A few doses may be given 6 hourly. The symptoms may comprise of
trembling, twitching of tendons, staggering gait; sight of water or anything glittering brings on
spasms, tendency of head to fall forward and to the left, fear of solitude or darkness, sensation as

therapeutic field of this medicine. The patient is restless and despondent and suffers from
uncontrollable movements of arms and legs; limbs drag while walking; facial muscles twitch,
head jerks to one side, mouth and eyes open in rapid succession, worse in morning, better during
sleep.

with dropsy. 15-20 drops may be given with water twice daily.
v)
Lycopodium 0/3, twice a day for some days: Besides Hepatoma,

it takes care of billiary cirrhosis with obstructive jaundice also. The

patient likes to take food and drinks hot, desires sweets, and suffers from
excessive accumulation of flatulence.
vi)
Echinacea purpurea 1x, 2 drops in water twice daily for some
days: It stimulates immune system. It benefits patients suffering from
advanced liver cancer. It is also effective in alleviating chemotherapy
induced leucopenia and removes genital herpes.

Colic
(Severe pain in abdomen caused by spasm of intestines)
Remedies:
1)
Colocynthis 30: Agonizing pain in abdomen, causing patient to bend double, is most
characteristic. It is also possible that pain shoots down left hip, left thigh & left knee. The pain
is better by hard pressure and doubling up, worse by anger with indignation. One or two doses
may be sufficient.
2)
Mag Phos 6x: It is good for colic of newborn infants, also for flatulent colic of children.
Use one tablet in two ounce of lukewarm water and give the child one teaspoonful every ten

abdomen to back, chest, arms; worse bending forward, relieved by standing erect or bending
backward. It is beneficial to persons of feeble digestive power and habitual tea-drinkers. It may
be taken four hourly.
4)
Nux Vomica 30: It is the greatest polychrest. It is frequently the first remedy after much
dosing. It establishes equilibrium of forces. The patient feels pressure in stomach as of a stone
one or two hours after eating. There may be nausea and vomiting, with much retching and
bruised soreness of abdominal wall; flatulent distention with spasmodic colic; constipation with
frequent ineffectual urging for stools, worse morning, better evening. Three doses may be given

mucus. It also acts well when given 3 hourly. Euphrasia eye drops may be used thrice a day
simultaneously.
4)
Ferrum Phos 6x: It may be administered after Belladonna in morning and afternoon. It
reduces burning pain and watering considerably. It may be had when Belladonna is being taken.

Constipation
Precaution:
a) It affects nearly everyone at some time or the other
b) One should inculcate daily habit of passing stools from childhood
c) If neglected, one suffers from constipation. So it is psychological
d) People lose the reflex action if they try to control Natures Call or avoid using toilet due
to insanitary conditions.

Remedies:
1) Cascara Sagrada Q: It acts as a tonic for proper bowel movements if 15 drops are taken in
half cup of water two times a day. It removes obstinate constipation associated with rheumatism

of muscles and joints.

2)
Hydrastis Can Q: Constipation with sinking feeling in stomach and dull headache. Weak
digestion with sore feeling in stomach more or less constant. Pain in rectum during and after
passing stool. Ulcers; Gastritis. One may take 7 drops in water twice a day, 15 minutes after
meals. In case the patient likes to take food and drink hot, and a few mouthfuls fill up to the
throat, Lycopodium Q, 5 drops may be added to Hydrastis Q. Alternatively, Hydrastis 30 may be
given twice a day after meals for a few days with Aletris Farinosa Q, 7 drops in water. It would
suit those who feel tired all the time, suffer from flatulent colic, and least food distresses them.
3) Fucus Vesiculosus Q: If obstinate constipation is associated with obesity, 10 drops of the
medicine should be given in water twice daily before meals. It would remove constipation as
well as obesity.
4) Alumen 200: One dose per day for a few days if no desire to pass stool for days; ability to
expel stool is absent; Marble-like masses pass, but rectum still feels full, and there is long
lasting pain after stool.
5) Alumina 0/7: For constipation of infants and old persons, it may be given twice a day for
utmost seven days. Even a soft stool is passed after great straining. There may be pain in back,
arm and fingers as if hot iron penetrated.
6)
Bryonia Alb 30: It follows Alumina advantageously. It is sufficient alone also. For
constipation it is a very good remedy. Mucous membranes are all dry. Stools are large, hard, &
dry as if burnt. Great thirst, drinks large quantities of water at long intervals.
7)
Silicea 6x or 12x: We cite a case-record of Dr I.P. Johnson: Mother of three children;
constipation since birth of last child, three months ago. Cathartics had failed. The stools were
hard and dry, were partially expelled with much straining, and then receded into the rectum.
Silicea cured in four doses, taken night and morning. Calcarea Fluor 6x or 12x may be taken
with Silicea.
Remarks: Purgatives and laxatives containing medicinal paraffin oil are detrimental to the bowel
and should not be used.

Corns
(Small hard growth on toe or foot, painful or painless)

Antimonium Crudum 200: Inflamed large horny corns on soles of feet; pain in heels; feet

very tender; tongue coated thick white as if whitewashed; no thirst; headache with great loss
of hair; amelioration after warm bath; one dose is given alternate morning for one month with
local application of Hydrastis Q on a small piece of cotton.
2) Calcarea Fluorica 12x: In case corns very hard, and painful, 4 hourly.
3) Kali Mur 6x and Silicea 6x: For sore soft inflamed corns, which form repeatedly, both
remedies should be taken three times daily. In corns if the pain is stabbing, stinging,
lancinating, and there is itching also, Mag Phos 6x is needed in hot water thrice daily.

Coryza
(Common cold with inflammation of mucous membrane)
Remedies:
1)
Aconite Nap 30: Sudden violent invasion due to dry cold winds with fear and
restlessness, much sneezing; watering of eyes; dry or watery coryza, worse evening and night;
feverish feeling. Let it be given 2 hourly for one or two days. As soon as substantial
improvement is seen, medication may be stopped or at least duration increased. Usually cold
takes its own time to disappear completely. Arsenic Alb follows well.
2)
Allium Cepa 30: Profuse, watery, and extremely acrid nasal discharge, acrid tears,
sneezing while entering a warm room; to be taken 3 hourly, one or two days. Arsenic Alb
follows it well.

weather, better warm drinks; 3 hourly three doses may be good enough.
4) Natrum Mur 30: Violent fluent sneezing coryza, with loss of smell and taste; use it three
hourly for a day or two.
5) Avena Sativa Q: In acute coryza and colds, a few hourly doses consisting of 20 drops in
hot water are quite beneficial. It acts as a tonic also. It removes nervous exhaustion.
6) Bio-chemic remedies:
a) To remove predisposition to take cold, Ferrum Phos 3x & Calcarea Phos 3x should be
taken in two hourly alternation for some days. A lack of ferrum molecules in the blood is the
cause of colds.
b) If the fibrinous exudation is thrown off through the nasal passages, it is called catarrh.
In the stage of acute nasal catarrh, dry coryza, stuffy cold, and burning dryness, Kali Mur 6x
has proved to be the most satisfactory remedy, when taken two hourly.
c) Natrum Mur 12x: We cite a case-record from a book by Dr George W. Carey, M.D.: A
lady of 48 years suffered from coryza which appeared twice a week, lasted one or two
daysalways worse from 10 to 12 a. m. The discharge was watery and so profuse that she
was compelled to use a towel instead of a handkerchief. Everything cool brought relief. Wet
weather, fog, wet feet, warmth and a warm room aggravated the condition. The attack was
accompanied by sneezing that could be heard throughout the house she received Natr. Mur,
five powders, one to be taken every third evening Subsequently the same remedy was
prescribed, a powder once a weekwith most satisfactory results.

Cough
(Cough indicates sudden and noisy expulsion of air from the lungs. Theoretically, it is not a
disease. It is an abnormal condition, which if not rectified timely, may cause serious
consequences.)
1) Bio-chemic remedies:
a)
Kali Mur 6x: Loud noisy cough accompanied by wheezing rales with
expectoration of thick milky white tenacious phlegm and white or grayish white
coating of the tongue and persistent hoarseness. It should be given four hourly.
b) Ferrum Phos 6x: For acute short painful tickling cough without expectoration, it is
very useful, if given 2 hourly. One should abstain from giving it in the evening as that
is its aggravation period. In case, with every cough, there is emission of urine, it cures
speedily.
c) Magnesia Phos 6x, hourly five doses in lukewarm water: It is the remedy for true
spasmodic cough which occurs in paroxysms without expectoration. Hot drinks give
temporary relief. Tongue usually is clean. The condition is worse on lying down and
at night, better on sitting up and warm drinks.
2) Homoeopathic remedies:
a) Spongia Tosta 30: Dry barking croupy cough worse during inspiration, ascending
and before midnight, better descending. It abates after eating or drinking, especially
warm drinks. Excitement enhances cough. Tickling in throat causes cough. The patient
exhibits sibilant (hissing) sound like a saw being driven through a pine board. Three
doses per day for two/three days may be sufficient. Bio-chemic medicines may also be
given as may be required.
b) Stannum 30: Laughing, talking, singing causes dry strangling cough in paroxysms of
three coughs (of two, Merc) with scanty sweetish expectoration and great weakness of
chest. It may be had 4 hourly for two/three days. Pulsatilla is complementary if cough
dry at night and loose in the morning with copious mucus expectoration.
c) Hepar Sulph 30: The patient gets afflicted with hoarse croupy choking cough
whenever any part of the body is uncovered; loses voice and coughs when exposed to
dry cold wind while walking. It is worse in morning. Let it be taken 4 hourly for two
days. Merc Sol 30 or 200 follows well if cough worse at night and the patient cannot
lie on right side.
d) Antim Tart 30: Great rattling of mucus, but little expectoration is a guiding symptom.
Drowsiness, debility, sweat and irresistible inclination to sleep accompany the
ailment. Cough and dyspnoea better lying on right side, eructation and sitting erect.
Three doses may be given half hourly. Subsequently, Ipecac 30 may be given twice a
day for 2/3 days if cough and nausea persistent, and chest full of phlegm and the patient
is not able to speak.

e) Bryonia Alb 30: Coming into warm room excites coughwith feeling as if chest
would fly to pieces. Dry painful cough with great thirst, headache & constipation,
worse after eating/drinking, least movement, better absolute rest, physical as well as
mental. It may be taken every 3 hour for a day or two. Ferrum Phos may be alternated,
if the situation so demands.

Suggestion: Grapes tone up the lungs and act as expectorants. A cup of grape juice mixed with a
teaspoon of honey gives cough relief in a couple of days.
Cramps
(Spasmodic involuntary painful contraction of muscles from sudden chill or strain)
Remedies:

1) Cuprum Met 30: Spasms and cramps in abdomen, calves of legs, soles, palms;
flexor types of cramps are usually noticed with great weariness of limbs. Clonic
spasms begin in fingers and toes. Three doses 4 hourly to be given. In Writers
cramps, Cuprum Met 6 and Gelsemium 6 will be quite useful if given twice daily.
2) Cuprum Ars 3: Cramps in calves of legs, worse after midnight, only relieved by
getting out of bed and standing. It may be given every four hour, one or two days.
3) Camphor 6: Cramps in calves with icy coldness of the whole body; cracking in
joints; numbness, tingling, coldness. Half hourly 3 doses. Kali Nit is inimical, so
should not be given after Camphor.
4) Magnesia Phos 6x: It is excellent for spasms of every kind in any part of the body.
There may be a sensation in limbs like a shock of electricity. Cramps in calf muscles.
Writers cramp. It cures convulsion, twitching, contraction, cramps, fits, etc., when
frequent doses are given in hot water. For quick relief in the case of cramps and
spasms, half a teaspoon of Mag Phos is dissolved in a cup of hot water (stirred often)
and a sip is taken every 5 minute, seven times. Subsequently, Calcarea Phos 6x should
be alternated every 2 hour to prevent recurrence of spasms & cramps. This alternation
cures Lockjaw also.
5) Calcarea Phos 6x: We cite a very interesting case. Dr Fechtmann was called to
see a lady who had been suffering for nearly five weeks from fearful attacks of
convulsive spasms. During the last 24 hours she had had thirty attacks. The spasms
darted through her body like an electric shock, so that she fell to the ground. The
attack lasted a few minutes, after which she felt well enough, but rather exhausted
Knowing that Magnes. Phos and Calc. Phos are the two prescribed for allaying
spasms (cramp), I chose the latter, Calc. Phos., under the circumstances. Next day, to
the astonishment of those about her, I found the old lady walking about the room. She
met me with a smile, exclaiming: Ah, doctor, my spasms are cured! And so it was.
She has not had another attack.

Dengue
(Infectious eruptive fever causing acute pains in joints and back with stiffness of patients neck &
shoulders, and biphasic febrile episode, severe headache, myalgia (muscular pains) and
morbilliform rash. Female mosquito aedes aegypti causes dengue which is also known as break
bone fever. First day flashes of heat on face, skin acquires red appearance. Sixth day the patient
suffers from morbilliform rash which resembles that of measles.)

Remedies:
1) Eupatorium Perfoliatum 30 or 200: It is a boon in miasmatic districts. It is given
three hourly for two days if fever is associated with severe pains in bones and muscles,
arms and wrists which are better by sweating. But throbbing headache is not relieved by
perspiration. Natrum Mur 30 follows well if fever blisters and chilliness with blinding
headache continues.
2) Rhus Tox 30 or 200: In any and every kind of fever, extreme physical restlessness,
fear of being poisoned; complaints relieved by movement and aggravated during rest,
from getting wet while perspiring, before a thunderstorm; triangular red tip of tongue,
sensation as if bones were scraped with a knife, swashing (Sound of washing or rising &
falling) sensation in brain, very chilly, even open air intolerable, dreams of rowing or
swimming, tearing pains in tendons/ligaments, desires cold milk which relieves gastric
complaints. Fever may commence around 7 p.m. and last whole night and/or attack at 10
a.m. and remain whole day. Muscular pains and restlessness are characteristic symptoms.
It may be given three hourly for 2 or 3 days. (Apis Mel & Rhus Tox are inimical, so must
not be given after each other)

3) Bryonia Alb 30: Fever associated with constipation & bursting splitting headache &
bodyache, complaints ameliorate by absolute rest, lying on painful side & pressure and
aggravate by least movement; dryness of mouth, tongue and throat with excessive thirst at
long intervals, stools large hard dry, as if burnt; exceedingly irritable, wants to go home
although at home, slow onset of fever. It may be given 2 hourly. It is complementary to
Rhus Tox and may be given after it has been administered for 2 days.
4) Belladonna 30: Belladonna stands for violence of attack and suddenness of onset. It
can be prescribed in any season. No thirst with fever. Severe throbbing headache, better
by tight bandaging, worse slight noise; throat congestion causes tonsillitis & difficult
deglutition; hallucinations: sees monsters, ghosts, black animals, various insects; pain
aggravates by slightest touch, even of bed cover, ameliorates after drinking hot water,
transverse colon may protrude like a pad, sleepy but cannot sleep. If some of the salient
symptoms tally, it may be given in split doses. The procedure is that one drop is taken in
half cup of water and then one teaspoonful is given from it half hourly about four times as
may suit the patient.
5) Aconite Nap 30: Sudden rise of temperature with physical and mental restlessness,
due to exposure to dry cold winds, tossing about in agony, fear of death, crowd, crossing
the street, predicts the day he will die, burning thirst for large quantities of cold water,
watery coryza with sneezing, affections of the heart with pain in left shoulders, worse at
night and in evening, better in open air, urine suppressed, music unbearable. Aconite is
neither indicated in typhoid, malarial and low fevers nor alternated with any other
medicine. It is quite good in traumatic fevers. If the case requires Aconite, no other drug
is needed. It should be repeated frequently in acute disease. It is a rapid worker. It may be
replaced by other medicine, if required, after 2 days.
6) Arsenic Alb 30: High temperature may be due to G. I. Tract infection. Septic fevers.
Great prostration with mental restlessness. Fear of death, thinks it is useless to take
medicine, afraid of loneliness, burning pains; affected parts burn like coals of fire, drinks

Excellent results are seen in the case of abuse of alcohol, injurious effects of watery
fruits, cold drinks, ice cream, spoiled meat, decayed food. It may be given 3 hourly and
with it Bryonia 200 combines well.
7) Bio Combination No. 11: It is useful when taken 4 hourly. It consists of Ferrum Phos,
Kali Mur, Natrum Mur, Kali Sulph and Natrum Sulph in 6x potency. Ferrum Phos and
Natrum Sulph in alteration also work.
Note:
All symptoms may not appear at a time. So the layman has to apply medicine based on a few
salient features only. No worry, even then.

Security:

The intake of these tiny atoms is safe against assault of disease force upon vital force of the
human body inasmuch as application thereof is indicated in viral or bacterial influenza,
intermittent, remittent, scarlet, gastric fevers, dengue, measles, smallpox, heart affections
including Angina Pectoris etc. We may add that urethral fever requires Aconite, Arsenic, and
Rhus Tox; for Worm Fever, Belladonna is a good remedy.

Diabetes Mellitus
(Steady accumulation of sugar in blood due to degeneration of the islands of Langerhans in the
pancreas causing insulin deficiency characterized by excessive glucose-charged urine, thirst, &
emaciation.)
Remedies:
1) Gymnema Sylvestre Q: It is an excellent medicine for diabetes Mellitus. It is known as
Sugar killer. The patient suffers from burning all over the body and frequent urination which
makes him/her very weak. One should take 20 drops of this medicine in water twice a day
regularly. It would keep diabetes under control.
2) Syzygium Jambolanum Q: No other remedy causes in so marked degree the diminution
and disappearance of sugar in Urine. It takes care of diabetic ulceration also. It may be taken
like Gymnema Sylvestre and if required mixed with it advantageously.
3) Insulin 6: It is an aqueous solution of an active principle from pancreas which affects
sugar metabolism. If administered at suitable intervals in diabetes mellitus, the blood sugar is
maintained at a normal level. Overdosing should be avoided. It restores the lost ability to
oxidize carbohydrate and stores glycogen in the liver. It should be given twice a day for a few
days.
4) Ginseng Q, 5 drops in water twice a day: It regulates blood sugar levels. It is one of the
most famous Chinese herbs. It increases vitality. It acts favorably in lumbago, sciatica,
rheumatism.
5) Natrum Sulph 6x: Diabetes Mellitus of nervous origin is cured by treatment with Natrum
Sulph and Mag Phos, both 6x, in alternation every two hour for a week; (E. A. de Cailhol,
M.D.)
6) Bio combination No.7, four times a day: The combination comprises of Calcarea Phos,
Ferrum Phos, Kali Phos, Natrum Phos, and Natrum Sulph. Ferrum Phos and Calcarea Phos
are required to cure inflammation of kidneys. Kali Phos restores nervous system and
facilitates normal functioning of the pancreas. Natrum Phos takes care of hepatic form of
diabetes. Natrum Sulph is an important remedy in all stages of diabetes. It secures elimination
of excess water from the blood and blood serum. The bio-combination thus supports patients
state of health by assimilating the glucose.

Remarks:
Diabetic patients should never overeat, not even once. Let the food be digested easily. One should
not keep the stomach empty either; better eat six times a day. The food should not be rich; it
should be nutritious.
Reverence:
Though Diabetes Mellitus is usually incurable, but controllable, we are pleased to cite an
example of cure hereby. Our family friend, Captain S.N. Dalmia of Indian Airlines, was once
grounded when he became diabetic, but he proceeded to Jaipur where he stayed in an Ashram for
six months, and by sheer determination and firm belief, doing Yoga regularly, and maintaining
proper diet always as was suggested by a Swamiji, got cured without any medication and could
pass stringent tests and procedures which were conducted repeatedly in conformity with rules and
regulations of the government of India. Consequently, orders for grounding were revoked and he
commenced flying the planes again as before. You can do it in case you are endowed with such
resoluteness.

Diarrhoea
(Excessive frequency and looseness of bowel movements; imperfect digestion and assimilation of
food generally causes it. It may be due to climatic conditions also.)

Symptoms:

Calcarea Phos 3x, every two or three hours for a day or two. Stool may be hot,
watery, profuse, offensive, and noisy. It may be alternated with Mag Phos 6x if the
child suffers from flatulent colic also.

Remarks:
Initially, one may take above Bio-combination and also, Trinitrotoluene 30 (T.N.T.) for some days, if
this treatment suits from the beginning. The duration should be reduced gradually despite
improvement after one month or so. Bio- combination thrice a day, T.N.T. twice a day; subsequently,
twice a day, once per day respectively, or as may be helpful. Symptoms are likely to lead the patient
to take one or the other indicated remedies, besides the above as may be essential. People say a
doctor is the worst patient. We would prefer to state that the patient is the best doctor for
himself/herself as he/she usually experiences innate turmoil / tranquility relating to the ailment and its
palliation. Consultation with qualified Bio-chemic and Homoeopathic doctors for the line of

treatment in such cases in conformity with the basic constitution of the patient is desirable and
necessary.

redundant elements, which do not correct mineral salt deficiencies. Intermittent fever or
malaria requires in all stages Natrum Sulph to eliminate excess of water in the tissues, and to
overcome bilious stools, greenish coating of the tongue, bitter vomiting. Ferrum Phos attracts
oxygen which is essential for the cure of the disease. Ague patients must abstain from a rich
diet: Eggs, milk, buttermilk, fats and fish and during chill stage, should be wrapped in
blankets and given hot drinks. In case fever is associated with severe throbbing headache,
intense thirst, aching all over body, Natrum Mur 3x should be alternated with Natrum Sulph.

14th day and paroxysm is anticipated every two or three hours and fever never commences at
night, and there is great thirst before chill, but no thirst during heat stage, and symptoms are
worse by motion and better by warm application, it is the remedy. Digitalis and Selenium are
incompatible, so should not be taken after China Off. Ferrum Phos is complementary, so may
follow well. Ars Alb and Rhus Tox also helpful after China.
5) Rhus Tox 30, every two hour, two days: A dry teasing cough before and during chill in
intermittent fever, with taste of blood, restlessness, and trembling. Chilly, as if cold water

Alb follow well, but Apis Mel should not be given before or after it. Thirst of Ars Alb patient

drinks. Symptoms worsen after midnight. He is mentally restless, physically too weak to

the endocrinic secretions of the liver, bile ducts and pancreas. It keeps bile and pancreatic
juice at normal consistency, regulates supply of water in intercellular fluids and eliminates
excess of water from the blood. Although Natrum Sulph is the chief remedy, Kali Phos 6x is

haemorrhoids, profusely bleeding, with burning, soreness, heaviness, as if back would break.
If the patient also complains of sharp shooting pains up the back, Aesculus Hip 30 should also
be given thrice a day, and a dose of Sulphur 200 once a week in morning.
2)
Ratanhia 200, twice daily: Anus aches and burns for hours after the stools have been
passed. Haemorrhoids protrude, burn like fire, relieved by cold water temporarily. There may
be fissures of anus also. For painful piles, oozing and belching, Sulphur 200 should also be
given on alternate mornings.
3)
Aloe Soc 30, thrice a day: It is indicated in acute stage. Haemorrhoids protrude like
grapes, better cold water application. Patient uncertain whether gas or stool will pass. Nitric
Acid 30 should be alternated if haemorrhoids bleed easily, pain as from splinters and urine
smells like that of a horse. Dr J. H. Clarke cured bleeding piles by giving one dose of Nitric
Acid 200; the patient suffered from tremendous pain while passing stools and burning
sensation at anus after stools were evacuated.
4) Collinsonia Can 30, three times a day: In the case of chronic, painful, bleeding piles,
with sensation as if sticks, sand or gravel lodged in rectum, it works. Most obstinate

such water 3 days, haemorrhoids get cured.

Pleurisy
(It is an inflammation of the membranes which line the chest wall and cover the lungs usually
caused by chill and marked by fever & pain; in many cases the pleural cavity fills up with fluid
which has to be withdrawn and requires the expert services of a physician; the diet should be
light and nourishing, low in table salt; hot application essential)
Remedies:
1) Ferrum Phos 6x: It is quite good in the first stage of an acute attack of pleurisy with high
fever, severe pain, short cough, shivering, and oppressed breathing. Five celloids every hour;

as the symptoms become less acute, every two hours. Natrum Mur 6x may be alternated.
2)
Kali Mur 6x, every two hours: It is required during the second stage when fluid has
accumulated in the pleural cavity and the tongue is coated white. It may be alternated with
Ferrum Phos.
3) Calcarea Sulph 6x, every two hours: When pus forms in the cavity of the pleurae or in the
lungs, it helps and cures.
4)
Bryonia Alb 30 & Kali Carb 30 in alternation two hourly: Tough mucus in trachea,
loosened only by hawking repeatedly. Coming into warm room excites cough. Cough worse

pleuritic pains running down the anterior chest. Stitches in spleen from fast walking. Crampy
pain under short ribs. Symptoms worse before a storm, better warmth and eating.

Worth Notice:
Dr Compton Burnett, an allopathic doctor of great repute, could not get rid of pleurisy by
allopathic treatment but was cured by a Homoeopath. Consequently, he took to homoeopathic
practice remarkably.

Pneumonia
(Inflammation of the lungs caused by infection of a virulent virus; the onset is sudden, begins with
a sharp chill, followed by very high fever, headache, pain in chest, cough with rusty-colored
mucus, rapid breathing which rises to double or triple of the normal rate; well ventilated warm
room, light diet, hot drinks constitute essential requirements; after initial emergency treatment,
supervision of an experienced physician is a must.)
Remedies:
1)
Ferrum Phos 6x: For inflammation of the lungs, high fever, pain, congestion, and short
hurried & oppressed breathing, it is the first and the chief remedy. It is of no use after
exudation has set in, nor in morbidly active cases. Expectoration of clear blood or rustcolored sputa is observed in cough of pneumonia. It should be given hourly, but less
frequently once the improvement commences. Dr G. W. Lawrence has affirmed that this
remedy and Veratrum Viride give me better success in the treatment of pneumonia than any
remedies I have ever tried. For pneumonia with faint feeling in stomach, early manifestation
of hepatization, and violent congestion, Veratrum Viride 6 should therefore be alternated with
Ferrum Phos 6x. It raises the opsonic index against the diploccus pneumonia, 70 to 109 per
cent. If free perspiration is not established by the use of Ferrum Phos, Kali Sulph 6x should
be alternated two hourly, especially if temperature rises from evening until midnight and then
falls, and the patient suffers from expectoration of loose, rattling, yellow phlegm or watery
mucus.
2) Antim Tart 30, 3 doses, every 10 minutes: In case there is great rattling of mucus with
little expectoration, and there is much drowsiness, debility and sweat, Antim Tart gives ample
relief. When the patient coughs there appears to be large collection of mucus in the bronchi;
it seems as if much would be expectorated, but nothing comes up. In such a case, seven
drops of Hepatica Q, should also be given in water twice daily. It would induce free and easy
expectoration of viscid tenacious phlegm. Kali Mur 3x also may be taken three times a day.
3)
Iodum 30, 3 hourly: Right-sided pneumonia with high temperature, blood-streaked
sputum, rapidly spreading hepatization, pleuritic effusion, croupy wheezy cough, gets thin
despite good appetite, heart feels squeezed. Lycopodium 200, two morning doses, will be
required in the case of neglected or maltreated pneumonia, with great dyspnoea, flaying of
alae nasae, and presence of mucous rales.
4) Pneumococin 200, twice a day: For pneumonia with paralytic phenomena and pleuritic
pain.

Poliomyelitis
(Inflammation of the grey matter of the spinal cord, often resulting in muscular paralysis;
infantile paralysis)
Remedies:
1)
Lathyrus 3 or 6, three times daily: In Homoeopathy, it is the chief remedy for
poliomyelitis. It deals with infantile paralysis involving paralytic affections of lower
extremities. Knees may knock against each other when walking; toes may not leave the floor
and heels may not touch floor. The patient feels depressed almost always.
2) Bungarus Krait 3 or 6, three times daily: It is also a specific remedy for poliomyelitis.
3) Arnica Mont 30, thrice a day: It is a muscular tonic. In poliomyelitis, it would combine
well with Kali Phos 6x.
4) A combination of Bio-chemic remedies comprising of Calcarea Phos 12x, Ferrum Phos
6x, Kali Phos 6x, and Natrum Phos 6x, 2 tablets of each after meals twice daily on long term
basis will be efficacious. Calcarea Phos is essential to the proper growth and nutrition of the
body. It gives solidity to the bones. It is a real tonic. Ferrum Phos removes blood-poverty and
creates oxygenated environment. It reduces inflammation. Kali Phos controls grey matter of
the brain by uniting with albumen and oxygen and creates grey matter. It is efficacious in
cerebral & spinal anaemia, and in idiopathic softening of the spinal cord and removes loss of
power of movement. Natrum Phos also removes paralytic weakness of lower extremities. It is
needed in diseases of children suffering from excess of lactic acid and acidity.

Polypi
(Pedunculated tumors growing from mucous membranes; vitamin D intake should be adequate)
Remedies:
1) Lemna Minor 30, 4 hourly: It is quite good in the treatment of nasal polypi with loss of
smell. Putrid smell, putrid taste prevail, worse rainy weather; crusts and muco-purulent
discharge very abundant.
2) Sanguinaria Can 30, 4 hourly, three doses: It is very good in the treatment of nasal polypi
with chronic rhinitis (inflammation of nasal mucous membranes) and ozaena (fetid nasal
ulceration). It also cures laryngeal polypi. Cough returns every time the patient takes cold,
with circumscribed red cheeks. For good results, the patient should put 2 drops of
Sanguinaria Can 1x in one cup of lukewarm water and inhale using a towel over the face.
3) Teucrium Marum 6, 4 hourly: It is a remedy of first importance in chronic nasal catarrh
with mucous polypus discharging large offensive crusts and clinkers irregularly. There may

be blockage of nose, the side the patient lies on. Local application of dry powder of the
medicine is also useful.
4) Calcarea Phos 6x, 4 hourly: It is excellent in the case of large pedunculated nasal polypi.
The nose may be swollen and ulcerated and tip of nose may be icy-cold. The sense of smell is
impaired considerably. Calcarea Phos dries the polypus and cures it. In case, polypi in both
nostrils is large, gray and bleeds easily, Calcarea Phos 30x should be given every morning for
a week. It would work.
Pregnancy Ailments & Precaution
Remedies:
1) Bio-chemic remedies:
a) To aid normal development of a child, one dose of Ferrum Phos 6x daily in the morning,
one dose of calcarea Phos 6x daily in the afternoon and one dose of Kali Phos 6x daily in the
evening should be taken by the mother during entire course of pregnancy to ensure proper
intake of vital mineral salts. It would improve general health, eradicate nervousness and
promote normal excretion.
b) In respect of ineffectual labor-pains, Dr Rozas, in the Pop. Zeit., says: For three years I
have employed Kali Phos., in 10-grain doses, dry on the tongue, every ten or fifteen minutes,
as a remedy to excite labor-pains. It has never failed me, and I seldom have to give the third
dose. Dr Chapman affirms it when he says that From my own experience and the reports of
other physicians and midwives, I am led to believe the testimony of Dr Rozas is not
overdrawn. Dr E. H. Hollbrook, M.D., also endorses it saying that In labor, when the pains
are too weak and irregular, I have seen nothing act more promptly and effectually than Kali
Phos. However, it is experienced that if Kali Phos is taken for a month or two prior to the
expected time of delivery, it strenghthens the nervous and muscular system to such an extent
that delivery is accomplished with comparative ease and comfort usually. Kali Phos 6x also
helps considerably in threatened miscarriage, when given in hourly doses. If miscarriage has
already happened, a few doses of Ferrum Phos are required, and also Calcarea Fluor 6x or
12x to tone up the contractile power of the uterus. Subsequently Calcarea Phos 6x is given as
a constitutional tonic.
c)
For spasmodic crampy labor-pains and eclampsia (convulsions occurring in late
pregnancy with rise in blood pressure and unconsciousness), Mag Phos 6x is a gem. It is
given in lukewarm water, 4 or 5 doses every 15 minutes.
d)
After birth of an infant, if Ferrum Phos 6x is given two or three doses hourly in the
morning, it prevents mastitis (inflammation of mammary glands), metritis (inflammation of
uterus), lactation fever and gives tremendous relief in after-pains.
e)
In the treatment of agalactia (failure or inadequate supply of milk after child birth)
Calcarea Fluor 6x will help a lot.
f) Kali Mur 6x, 2 hourly for a day or two: It is the chief remedy for Puerperal fever which is
related to child birth.
g) Silicea 12x, twice a day: It is needed if nipples crack and ulcerate, and child refuses milk
or vomits as soon as taken. It is also quite good in the case of suppuration of mammae, hard
lumps in breast, chronic fistulous openings.

2) Homoeopathic medicines:
a) Bellis Perennis 30, 4 hourly, a few doses: Inability to walk during pregnancy; uterus feels
sore, as if squeezed; varicose veins; breasts and uterus engorged.
b)
Sabina 30, 4 hourly: Tendency to miscarriages, especially at third month; music is
intolerable, produces nervousness; inflammation of ovaries or uterus after abortion or
premature labor; promotes expulsion of moles from uterus.
c) Phosphorus 30, one hourly, 3 doses: Unable to drink water during pregnancy, its sight
causes vomiting; must close her eyes while bathing. Water is thrown up as soon as it gets
warm in the stomach.

scratching and washing. The complaints usually relapse. Standing is the worst position for

intolerable itching drastically and often gives immunity from catching cold.

6)
Kali Sulph 3x: Great desquamation of the epidermis, dread of hot drinks;
evening/heated room aggravation are characteristic features. Psoriasis on left leg and elbow,
whitish scales, burned and itched little when scratched. Arsenicum and Arsenicum iodatum

Syphilis
(It is a contagious disease usually spread by contact with infected people. Initially a papule
appears and soon breaks down into an ulcer with hard edges. Secondary eruptions last for weeks
or months. Then a period of apparent improvement follows. The tertiary stage of this virulent
disease is fatal. The best chance for recovery lies in prompt treatment of the disease in its early
stage under supervision of a competent physician.)
Medicines:

1) Arsenicum Bromatum Q: It is a great anti-psoric and anti-syphilitic remedy. Four drops

of it should be given in water twice daily after meals. It removes syphilitic excrescences,

incurability, and carefully selected remedies fail to act, this medicine frequently arouses the
reactionary powers of the human organism. It has the property of stimulating cellular
metabolism. It arouses vitality, mentally as well as physically. If we use it at proper time, it
helps in curing various clinically dreaded conditions such as leucaemia, anaemia, atrophy of
ovaries/testicles, psoriasis, eczema, fistula, necrosis of bones, falling of hair in bunches,
paralysis, diabetes mellitus, obstinate cases of arthritis, gout, rheumatism, osteoarthritis,
spondylosis etc. Its action is centrifugal, so it brings out suppressed gonorrhoea, syphilitic
chancers, skin eruptions, which then can be cured by applicable remedies.
5) Aurum Met 30: The use of gold as an anti-venereal remedy is very old. This remedy is
produced out of metallic gold. So the disease which has been communicated by sexual
intercourse falls within its curative nature. Moreover such a patient develops great desire to
commit suicide; increased blood pressure afflicts him, and he may suffer from atrophy of
testicles. Dosage may be applied as the need be. It is frequently prescribed in Secondary
Syphilis, especially if syphilis is implanted on the scrofulous constitution. Aurum follows,
and is followed well by Syphilinum.
6) Sarsaparilla 6, 4 hourly, a few days: Intolerable stench on genitals; itching on scrotum
and perineum; pains due to venereal disease, causing mental depression; colic and backache

a coppery hue.
8)
Calotropis Q, five drops in water three times a day: It has been used with marked
success in the treatment of syphilis following Mercury It rapidly recruits the constitution,
heals the ulcers and blotches from the skin, and perfects the cure. It also deals with primary
anaemia of syphilis.
9) Kali Hyd 1x, thrice a day for a week: It is indicated in all stages of syphilis: In acute form
with evening remitting fever, going off in nightly perspiration; second stage, mucous membranes
and skin ulcerations; tertiary symptoms; nodes.
10) Kali Mur 3x: Its deficiency causes excess of fibrin which finds an exit from the body
through urethra. It is a specific when swelling of any parts of the body exists. Five grains to
be given every three hour, preferably with Natrum Mur 3x, in case characteristic watery
transparent discharges are observed. The soft chancre requires Kali Mur; the phagedenic
chancre, Kali Phos; the hard chancre, Calcarea Fluor. These remedies should be applied

internally as well as externally.

Testicle Ailments
(Orchitis; inflammation of testis etc)
Remedies:
1) Rhododendron 200, every half hour, 3 doses: Orchitis of left side; painful swelling and
hardening of left testis which is drawn up, especially after rheumatic exposure or gonorrhoea,
with sensation as if the gland is being crushed, worse before a storm, better dry heat; if

Phos makes new blood cells, overcomes the anaemia present, and improves the general
condition of the system. Should be given as an intercurrent remedy in all cases of
tuberculosis. (Dr Carey).

Tumors
(Tumor arises primarily from a deficiency of Potassium Chloride, which causes an excess of fibrin in
the system. If tumor contains fibrin only, its cure difficult, as there is no blood vessel in it for the
remedy to reach it. However, in other cases where tumor is filled with fat or water or other liquids,
cure is feasible.)
Remedies:
1) Calcarea Fluor 3x, five tablets thrice a day: Blood-tumors on the head of an infant; knots,
kernels, hardened glands in the breast; ganglion, encysted tumors; tumors of the eyelids; hard
or firm shiny swelling in any part of the body. The cure may take two/three months. Calcarea
Fluor 30 also fulfils the criteria.

threaten to suppurate. It covers admirably uterine tumors, benign or malignant, also scrofulous
tumor of the neck. Multiple cheloid, which appeared, after the excision of a tumor, in the
scar. It was at St. Bartholomews Hospital, but rapidly returned and increased in size, till the
patient, a girl, was put on Silicea, night and morning. The gradual disappearance of the
growth under this treatment was one of the prettiest things I have ever seen in medicine.
(John H. Clarke)

for treatment of tumors, and may also be given in 30th potency instead of the mother tincture
thrice a day. Painful cracks in corner of mouth, is a guiding symptom. It also stimulates the

on tumors with piercing pains, worse at night. It also covers painless or painful nodules under
the skin all over the body. As soon as one sleeps, sweats. The patient is worse lying down,

Typhoid

excessive dryness of mucous membranes of entire body; great thirst; extremely irritable;
desires to get out of bed and go home, talks of business; mild delirium; stools hard dry, as if
burnt; profuse perspiration during fever; aggravation from any motion, relief from absolute
rest. Rhus Tox follows well.
2)
Rhus Tox 30, 3 hourly, 2 days: In typhoid, tongue dry and cracked with triangular red
tip; extreme restlessness, cannot remain for long in one position; bowels loose; chilly as if
cold water poured over him; tearing asunder pains. Motion always limbers up the patient.
Apis Mel inimical. Arsenic Alb complementary.

fright worry, cold sweats, burning pains; great prostration, too weak to move; Great thirst
for cold water; drinks often, but little at a timecannot bear the sight or smell of food.
Symptoms worsen after midnight, better from heat.
4)
Baptisia 30, 3 hourly, 3 days: Its favorable action is completed by Bryonia & Arsenic
Alb. So it should follow Ars Alb. All secretions -breath, stool, urine, sweat- are offensive,
especially in typhoid. It also covers typhus, shipboard, and adynamic fevers. The patient
experiences difficulty in swallowing solid food, and falls asleep while being spoken to.
Limbs feel sore and bruised. Tongue turns brown with red shining edges.
5) Bio-chemic remedies of interest from the pen of Dr A. P. Davis, of Dallas, Texas: It is
a conceded fact that the inflammation in the glands of Brunner and Peyer keep up the fever,
and the remedy that cures these glands cuts short the disease, and the remedies that I have
found to do this most certainly are Ferrum Phos and Kali Mur, given in alternation every hour
during fever, where there is a white or grayish coating on the tongue. The Ferrum is the best
fever remedy, and the Kali Mur, the best eliminator in such conditions. If the tongue should
become brown, give Kali Phos, and especially in those cases where the patient is delirious
or nervous, and in the more malignant form of the disease. If the tongue assumes a yellow,
shiny coating, then resort to Magnesia Phos, and especially when there are pain in the
bowels and a sensation of pressure in the stomach. If the tongue has a golden-yellow coating,
creamy, moist, give Natrum Phos. Should the tongue have a dirty brownish-green coating,
give Natrum Sulph. These remedies are especially indicated in this condition of the tongue.
Last of all, when the patient begins to convalesce, finish up the treatment with Calcarea Phos,
as a connective tissue and blood-cell constituent is needed. In all cases where these tissue
remedies have been used by me they have proved abundantly sufficient, and will cure, if

given as indicated. They supply the inorganic elements that are disturbed or lacking in all
diseased states, and if a strict observance is had in their selection, the physician will
certainly cure any disease that can be cured at all. I usually give them the 4x to 6x potency.
If there is great stupor Natrum Mur is indicated as an intercurrent remedy, according to Dr
Schussler.

3) Calcarea Calcinata 3x, 4 hourly for one week: It is also a good remedy for warts.
4) Causticum 200, twice a week: Soft, smooth warts on face, nose, eyelids, tips of fingers,
may be large, jagged, pedunculated; may bleed easily. Causticum does not agree with
Phosphorus, so should not be used before or after. Symptoms worsen in clear fine weather,
are better in damp wet weather.
5) Cinnabaris 30, 4 hourly for 3 to 5 days: Warts on prepuce (foreskin of penis); testicles
enlarged, prepuce swollen; warts bleed easily; the patient may suffer from buboes, chancres,
fiery ulcers, condylomata.
6) Dulcamara 30, 5 pills once daily for some days: It is quite good for treatment of warts,
large, smooth, and fleshy, on face or back of hands and fingers. Acetic Acid, Belladonna,
Lachesis should not be used before or after.

Whitlow
(Felon)
(Deep seated abscess at the end of a finger, often under the nail with pain and swelling)
Remedies:
1)
Ferrum Phos 12x in water, every three hours: It should be given in the first stage to
remove fever, pain, congestion.
2)
Kali Mur 12x, every 3 hours: It should be given in the second stage, when there is
swelling, but no pus formation yet. It may be given in alternation with Ferrum Phos to elicit
quick relief.
3) Silicea 6x: As soon as pus formation commences, it should follow Kali Mur. A dose
every two hours will usually cure the felon in twenty-four hours. (A.P.Davis, M.D.). A
whitlow, which had suppurated, had all the pus absorbed in the course of a night by only two
doses of Silicea 6x. (Dr B. N. Mitra).
4)
Calcarea Sulph 12x, thrice a day: Silicea ripens abscesses, since it promotes
suppuration, while Calcarea Sulph restrains suppurative process, so causes the wound to
heal.
5) Myristica Sebifera 30, 2 hourly, three days: It has specific action on whitlow, when there
is pain in the finger nails with swelling of the phalanges. It hastens suppuration and shortens
its duration.

Whooping Cough
(An acute infectious disease characterized by paroxysmal cough, ending in noisy inspiration with
a whoop; coughing persists in most cases for several weeks; food should be given frequently, but
in small quantities, as a full stomach may cause vomiting.)
Remedies:
1) Mag Phos 6x: It is the principal Bio-chemic remedy in whooping cough, for the whoop,
paroxysms of coughing, difficult breathing. When the fits of coughing are very acute, dissolve
3 tablets in hot water and give it 4 hourly. For chronic whooping cough, it should be
alternated with Kali Mur 6x, every 4 hours. Occasional doses of Ferrum Phos 6x in mornings
may be necessary. When the cough has become spasmodic in character, ending in the
characteristic whoop, Mag Phos is the remedy par excellence. Calcarea Phos 6x is often used
in winding up the treatment as a general restorative.
2) Drosera 30, single dose sufficient according to Dr Hahnemann: Sudden violent attacks,
paroxysms following each other very rapidly. The patient can scarcely breathe, worse after
midnight or commencing as soon as the head touches the pillow at night. There may be
sensation of feather in larynx.
3) Coccus Cacti 30, 4 hourly, 3 days: Whooping cough attacks end with vomiting of tough
white mucus, which strangles, worse upon waking, better walking.
4) Mephitis 3x, 3 hourly for a few days: It is a great remedy for spasmodic whooping cough,
which is so violent that it seems as if each spell would terminate life. Paroxysms few in day,
many at night.
5) Brahmi Q, 7 drops in water twice a day: It is good for whooping cough. It is also used as
a tonic to improve memory.
6) Merc Sol 200, twice or thrice two days: Whooping cough with yellow expectoration;
paroxysms of two, worse night, from warmth of bed, and tobacco smoke. Next two days
Hepar Sulph 200, twice or thrice two days, if whooping cough worse in morning and while
walking; cough troublesome if the patient exposed to dry cold winds; rattling cough with
suffocative attacks, better while bending head backwards.

Worms
(Intestinal tract is often the site of worms. Intestinal worms are of three kinds: tape worms, round
worms, pin worms. Presence of worms is usually detected by irritation or itching of the anus.)
Remedies:
1)

Natrum Phos 3x: It is the principal Bio-chemic remedy for all kinds of worms. It

destroys excess of lactic acid, which is helpful for the life of these worms. It is the enemy of
intestinal, long, round, or thread-worms, with associated symptoms of picking of the nose,
itching of the anus, acidity, restless sleep, pain in the abdomen, especially at night when warm
in bed. It may be given thrice a day. It expels tape worms also if taken for a long period.
Natrum Phos may be alternated with Natrum Mur 3x. If the tongue is white, let Kali Mur 6x be
alternated.
2)
Santoninum 3x: It is of great value in the treatment of worm affections. It removes
Ascaris lumbricoides and thread-worms, but it is not effective in the case of tape worms. It
also deals with nephritis and chronic cystitis. It should be given at bed time, and also in the
morning. Simultaneously, Natrum Phos may also be given twice a day for one week to achieve
quick relief.
3) Chelone Q, 5 drops in water, thrice daily for some days: It is an enemy to every kind of

SECTION-VIII
Some Hints for Medical Check-ups
A stitch in time saves nine.

Simple urine, stool, blood tests once-a-year for persons above 35 years from one of the reliable
diagnostic laboratories are desirable as a preventive measure and to bring down cost of healthcare.
Early pathological detection leads to easy safe treatment. Any delay in proper investigation increases
the risk of getting affected with fatal diseases without any inkling thereof generally. Such preventive
health check-ups are essential particularly for persons with high stress levels consequential to long
working hours, short deadlines and even short temper. Routine blood examination, for example, helps
in detecting bronchial asthma, cholera, filariasis, malaria, pleurisy, pneumonia, rheumatoid arthritis,
thyroid disorder, tuberculosis etc, besides any other test which may be necessary to be conducted for
a disease under investigation. So it is quite vital.
Similarly urine culture is essential for detecting hypertension, filariasis, meningitis; stool culture for
cholera; blood culture for beriberi, meningitis, pneumonia, ricket, tuberculosis; sputum culture for
bronchial asthma, pneumonia, tuberculosis; X-Ray (P A view) for bronchial asthma, cardiac failure,
hypertension, pleurisy, tuberculosis.
Although primarily Homoeopathy deals with diseases based on totality of symptoms and Bio-chemic
therapy takes care of diseases based on deficiency of cell-salts, we list below briefly certain specific
disease-wise tests for preliminary information:1)

Free T3, Free T4 and TSH estimations, the upgraded versions of thyroid tests.

2) E.C.G. for ventricular hypertrophy and hypertension; Eco Cardiogram, Tread Mill Stress
Test, Angiography (conventional), C.T.Angiography (imaging).
3) Serological test to detect malarial parasite.
4) Cerebro-spinal fluid test in the case of meningitis, and may be C.T. Scan.
5) Pleural fluid examination (Glucose, Chloride, AFB Smear, Gram Staining Smear) in the
case of pleurisy.
6) Synovial fluid test for rheumatoid arthritis.
7) Liver Function Test (LFT) for liver related disorders.
8) Lipid Profile: to ascertain Cholesterol level-HDL, LDL, VLDL. Triglycerides.
9) Blood tests for glucose level: fasting, PP, and random- for diabetes.
10) Blood Creatinine, Uric Acid etc: for Kidney functions.

11) Ultra Sonography of abdomen (Lower/upper/full): Stone in gall bladder, kidneys, liver
related problems, pancreas functioning etc., pregnancy, infertility etc.
12) X rays and Scans: Need based to study inner of the body.
13) Widal Test : for Typhoid
14) Bone Marrow Test for blood cancer.
15) Pre Operative Tests: CBC, ABO Grouping & Rh Typing, Glucose, HIV 1 & 2 ABS,
HBsAg, BUN, VDRL, Urinalysis (Urea, Creatinine).

SECTION-IX
GOLDEN RULES

To every ailment under the sun,

There is a remedy or there is none.
If there is one try and find it,
If there is none, never mind it

1)

Never delay therapeutical treatment of any disease or ailment. Promptness pays.

2) Consultation with a qualified experienced physician from time to time is a must.

3) Always remember and follow the principle to cure in a mild, prompt, safe and durable
manner.
4)
Never take any medicine longer than needed. Adhere to this golden maxim on all
occasions. Remember, it is the patient who has to cure himselfthe drug is only the stimulus
that starts the vital reactionSo long the patient is improving, let him be, and never meddle
till he begins to slip back: that is the first possible moment to repeat, or to reconsider the
case. It is safer to be a little late than a little too soon. You must go fast slowly, there is no
other way. (J. T. Kent).

5) Develop your knowledge and insight by studying disease-wise remedies carefully.

6) Direct thought to the cause of disease and select the remedy from the indicated medicines.
Dr Hering has advised to take notice of at least three prominent symptoms for successful use
of the medicine. If you do so, you will not falter at all. One can sit on three legged stool
comfortably, he has asserted.
7)
Even one specific characteristic feature helps. Suppose you have before you three
patients suffering from simple fever; the first trembles due to weakness; the second is worse
with least movement; urine, stool, sweat, breath of the third are very offensive. Gelsemium
will cure the first; Bryonia, the second; Baptisia, the third.

8) One spark is good enough to burn a big pile of grass; two words are sufficient to alter
thought process of human beings. Likewise minimal doses serve the purpose wonderfully, in
Homoeopathy as well as Bio-chemic system of medicine.
9) In acute cases, such as Cholera which causes abrupt downfall of vital force, it may be
essential to use selected Homoeopathic medicine in 6 or 30th potency every 5 or 10 or 15
minutes till improvement occurs, but otherwise generally two to four hour interval should be
maintained and even that should not be more than 2 or 3 days. Bio-chemic remedy is used
similarly; only difference is that it may be given for a week or a fortnight or even a month or
more in 3x, or 6x potency twice or thrice daily.
10) For treatment of chronic/malignant/incurable diseases, fifty millesimal potencies are safe
as there is virtually no possibility of violent aggravation, even if your selection of medicine is
wrong. Start with 0/2 or 0/3 potency and ascend it gradually. In case centesimal scale potency
is used, opt for 6 or 30 and watch the reaction for a few days after giving one or two doses.
Patience is rewarded ultimately. No such limitation is imposed on Bio-chemic remedies,
which are administered two or three times daily, as the condition demands. Health is
maintained so long as the body receives these cell-workers. There is nothing miraculous
about it. It is a natural law. Chronic diseases which have come up by excessive use of
quinine, mercury etc are curable by minute doses of these cell-minerals, which destroy
breeding place for fungi, germs, or bacilli.
11) Never use high potency; always use 6, 30 or utmost 200 of Homoeopathy, and 3x, 6x or
12x of Bio-chemic medicines.
12) Incompatible medicines must not be used either before or after. For example, Apis Mel is
inimical to Rhus Tox; Belladonna & Ferrum Phos to Acetic Acid; Carbo Veg to Kreosote;
Causticum to Phosphorus; Merc Sol to Silicea; Nux Vom to Zinc Met.
13) A few medicines are used in a specific cycle only. If symptoms tally, use Sulphur first,
then Calcarea Carbonica, and lastly Lycopodium, not in the reverse order.
14) Complementary remedies follow each other very well. Antidotal are also good, but not
inimical/incompatible medicines under any circumstances.
15) Investigation, where necessary, must be carried out before arriving at any decision for
treatment.
16) Mother tinctures may increase acidity, so should be taken after meals usually.
17) The smallest picture which our eyes perceive proceeds from millions of waves of light.
A granule of salt that we are hardly able to taste contains milliards of groups of atoms which
no sentinent eye will ever view. (Dr Schussler)
18) An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In Winter, and in Fall months, take
five celloids of Ferrum Phos in the morning, and five celloids of Kali Mur in the evening; in
Spring, take Ferrum Phos in the morning, Calcarea Phos in the evening; during Summer, take
Kali Mur in the morning, Natrum Phos in the evening; this is the advice of Dr J.B.Chapman

for prevention of illnesses. Such intakes, we atate, may be on alternate days or weekly, as
may suit an individual.

About The Authors:

Bankey Bihari Mishra was born on the 9th June 1935 at Mathura in Uttar Pradesh. He is M.A.
(English), L.T., D.M.B.S., M.D. (BIO). He is a person of studious habits. He also graduated in
Sanskrit, Hindi & Psychology. Initially he was a lecturer at a college in Mathura. Subsequently he
was Export Manager of a Group of Manufacturing Companies in Calcutta for around three
decades. For achieving export targets, he undertook extensive journeys to several countries.
His indomitable spiritual inclination led him to study Vedas and some books on humanism & selfunfolding. His book Kasturi Kundali Base on Spiritualistic Ways with Practical Suggestions
was published in 2004 and reprinted in 2006 by one of the largest Hindi Book Publishers in New
Delhi.
He belongs to a family of doctors. His father was a famous Vaidya, whose Ayurvedic medicines
served several places of India. His elder brother was an A.M.M.S. Doctor from Benaras
University and elder to him was a Homoeopath of great repute.

Dr Alka Acharya, his daughter, is D.M.S. She is a renowned Homoeopath at Lajpatnagar in New
Delhi. Her father-in-law was Finance Minister of U.P. for about 15 years.
She has inherited holistic healing art of Homoeopathy admirably. Besides, throughout childhood
she could not swallow any allopathic tablet, which used to pop out of her mouth despite her
mother endeavouring to push it down her throat. So naturally she was determined to become a
homoeopathic physician and she did, in spite of sudden strikes which converted the five year

medical course up to nine years. Even marriage did not deter her from accomplishing her noble
objective, thanks primarily to highly appreciable encouragement and inspiration from her husband
and in-laws. This book of welfare is the natural outcome.
