Se prepara con hojas frescas recogidas durante el verano (julio y agosto en Europa), y por
maceracin en alcohol a 90, una tintura madre a partir de la cual obtenemos, por
diluciones hahnemannianas sucesivas, las diferentes dinamizaciones del remedio.
Accin general y caractersticas
Abrotanum es un medicamento de gran profundidad de accin y los casos que parecen

pertenecerle ms SOBREVIENEN LUEGO DE LA SUPRESIN BRUSCA DE LAS
MANIFESTACIONES LOCALES DE UNA ENFERMEDAD.
Sus rasgos ms evidentes (patentes, sorprendentes) son: ALTERNANCIA Y METSTASIS:

alternancia de diarrea y de CONSTIPACIN, alternancia de crisis reumticas y
hemorroidales; alternancia de crisis reumticas y disentera; de calambres y clicos. En
cuanto a metstasis sealaremos la gastritis, la nefritis, la meningitis, o una hepatitis o
atrepsia, que sobrevienen luego de la detencin brusca de una diarrea o una enterocolitis
suprimidas por astringentes constipantes; o bien el caso de un reumatismo articular o
agudizado de golpe por un tratamiento local, y entonces sobreviene una afeccin
cardaca; en estos casos habr que recurrir a abrotanum, lo mismo que a KALMIA,
LEDUM, SPIGELIA, etc.; en otros trminos, el reumatismo mal tratado "ha sido llevado
al corazn"; en tales casos de endocarditis aguda, abrotanum compite con KALMIA,
SPONGIA y SEPIA.
Por otra parte, la accin de ABROTANUM es muy marcada en la ESFERA VEGETATIVA:

DEPRESIN DE LAS FUNCIONES DE NUTRICIN, EMACIACIN y tambin
ATREPSIA. Pero existe la particularidad que el ENFLAQUECIMIENTO es progresivo,
como ocurre en ARG. NITR. Esta es la caracterstica que hace indicar el remedio en la
atrepsia de los lactantes: el nio, demacrado, no puede sostener su cabeza, su debilidad
es extrema; ya no se tiene en pie y tiene una fiebre hctica que indica un desfallecimiento
gradual, se acaba, cae, es todo vientre; mientras tanto tiene un apetito voraz pero no
asimila nada; ocurre como en LYCOP., NATR. MUR., IODUM Y VERAT. VER., pero
en stos la delgadez ha progresado de arriba hacia abajo, mientras que en ABROTANUM
han comenzado a enflaquecer las extremidades inferiores. Corresponde a la DITESIS
GOTOSA.
Modalidades
A) Agravacin
a) Por el fro, la humedad, los cambios de tiempo.

b) Por el movimiento general del cuerpo, si bien el dolor reumtico se calma por el
movimiento nicamente de la articulacin afectada, a condicin que el resto del cuerpo
permanezca inmvil.
c) Por la noche, sobre todo despus de medianoche.
d) Por la supresin de las excreciones.
B) Mejora
a) Por el calor.
b) Por las deposiciones blandas.
Sntomas mentales
Depresin mental y ansiedad; dificultad para pensar. Como efectos secundarios tenemos:
locuacidad, excitacin, mal humor. Nios gruones, irritables.
Cara
Cara arrugada, como aspecto de viejo; ojos hundidos con ojeras azuladas. Barritos en la cara,
en sujetos demacrados.
Aparato digestivo
Hay un apetito tremendo; deseo de pan mojado en leche; HAMBRE VORAZ Y SIN
EMBARGO ENFLAQUECE. Sensacin como si el estmago colgara, flotara; dolores
agudos, ardientes, picantes, o sensacin de fro; agravacin a la noche.
Gran distensin del abdomen que est hinchado. Nudos ganglionares
Deposiciones que contienen restos de alimentos no digeridos. Alternancia de diarrea y

constipacin. Hemorroides que sobrevienen despus de la supresin brusca de dolores
reumticos con deseos frecuentes de evacuar.
Hemorroides procedentes, ardientes al tacto. Clicos hemorroidales con dolores en el sacro.
Secreciones sanguinolentas del ombligo del recin nacido.
Aparato respiratorio
El aire fro causa sensacin de crudeza en el aparato respiratorio.

Epistaxis en los jvenes.
Pleuresa, al persistir del lado enfermo una sensacin de compresin que impide respirar
libremente (despus DE ACONIT. Y BRYONIA).
rganos genitales
Hidrocele de los nios (hidrocele infantil).
Aparato circulatorio
Dolores lancinantes y graves en la regin cardaca; metstasis de reuma cardaco. Pulso dbil
y corto.
Espalda y extremidades
Dificultad para moverse. Reuma articular; articulaciones hinchadas, dolorosas, SENSIBLES

AL MOVIMIENTO GENERAL DEL CUERPO AUNQUE SE SIENTA MEJOR AL
MOVER SOLAMENTE LA ARTICULACIN AFECTADA; agravacin por la noche
sobre todo despus de medianoche, por la humedad, los cambios de tiempo. Picazn,
hormigueo y sensacin de fro en los dedos del pie.
Piel
Marchita, arrugada, flcida, barritos. Acta bien despus de HEPAR SULF. CALC. en las
forunculosis. Sabaones con gran comezn.
ABROTANUM (Kent)
Este remedio muy valioso, debera ser usado con mayor frecuencia. Est indicado en tales
enfermedades antes curadas por Bryonia y Rhus tox., pero sus sntomas sealan ser
casos de individualidad propia. Dolencias reumticas con irritacin cardiaca; epistaxis;
orina sanguinolenta; ansiedad y temblor, cuando ha habido una historia de diarrea. Una
diarrea detenida sbitamente ser seguida por los sntomas mencionados arriba en un
caso que requera Abrot. Un reumatismo bruscamente suprimido de alguna articulacin
seguido de malestares cardacos violentos, es muy semejante a Ledum, Aurum y
Kalmia.
En el marasmo de los nios es un remedio muy til e indicado con no poca frecuencia. El
enflaquecimiento comienza en los miembros inferiores y se extiende gradualmente
hacia arriba, de tal manera que la cara es la ltima afectada; eso es lo opuesto de
Lycopodium, Natrum mur. y Psorinum.
Ha curado pleuresa, despus que fall Bryonia, que pareca lo indicado. Rodeada por
amigos en la hora de su muerte, una mujer yaca en el lecho con disnea, ansiedad, sudor
fro y dolor en el corazn. Se saba que haba sufrido durante muchos meses de
reumatismo en una rodilla, que haba usado muletas para deambular por la casa y que
se haba curado (?) rpidamente con un linimento fuerte solamente pocos das antes de
este ataque. Abrot. le devolvi la salud prontamente.
Se ha causado y curado dolores ulcerativos ardientes en el estmago con vmitos

sospechosos.
La metstasis es una sealada caracterstica en Abrot. El cambio de una as llamada

enfermedad en otra hace pensar siempre en Abrotanum. La inflamacin de las partidas
(paperas) extendindose a los testculos o a las mamas se cura generalmente con Carbo
v. o Pulsatilla, pero Abrot. ha curado cuando esos medicamentos han fallado.
Una diarrea sbitamente interrumpida, seguida de hemorroides y reumatismo agudo, con

hemorragia, como se menciona arriba, es un argumento adicional en favor de esta idea.
El paciente de Abrot es sensible al aire fro y al tiempo fro y hmedo. Sufre mucho del
dolor de espalda, y estos sntomas son peores durante la noche.
En los muchachos cura el hidrocele. En infantes cura la hemorragia umbilical.
Hay, otra diarrea o constipacin; con el ltimo es reumtico, con el anterior se siente mejor,
como cuando se suprime la diarrea aumenta el sufrimiento. La diarrea es su gran alivio,
semejante a Natrum sulph. y Zincum
Dolores agudos aqu y all, pero especialmente en los ovarios y articulaciones.

ABSINTHIUM (Farrington)
Absinthium, otra planta del gnero Artemisia, familia de las Compuestas, nos interesa
no solo como medicamento, sino tambin porque encontramos casos de intoxicacin en las
personas que abusan de ella como bedida. Los primeros efectos mentales del ajenjo son el
buen humor, que pronto es seguido de resultados nocivos, entre los que se encuentra el
delirio horrible, durante el cual el enfermo se ve obligado a pasearse contnuamente. Este
sntoma se observa en todos los medicamentos del orden de las Compuestas, Chamomilla
y Cina tienen mejora por el movimiento y en Artemisia hay deseo de estar movindose;
bajo la accin de Absinthium el enfermo se pasea con angustia, viendo visiones de toda
especie. Podemos hacer uso de Absinthium en el insomnio de la fiebre tifoidea cuando hay
congestin cerebral de la base.
ABSINTHIUM (Clarke)
Ajenjo. Artemisia absinthium, Linn. Common Wormwood. (Europa). No se confunda con

Artemisia vulgaris, que tambin se llama Wormwood. O.N. Compositae. Tintura de
hojas jvenes frescas y flores.
Clnica.- Cerebro, congestin de. Clorosis. Dispepsia. Epilepsia. Inquietud. Insomnio.

Mdula espinal, congestin de. Otorrea. Tifoidea.
Caractersticas.- Absinthium se ha experimentado, pero un nmero de sus sntomas se han

tomado de observaciones en bebedores de ajenjo. Las convulsiones de Absinth. estn
precedidas por temblores; el paciente hace gestos: se muerde la lengua; espuma.
Halbert considera al Absinth. de un servicio especial en casos de epilepsia menor,
donde la conciencia no est enteramente perdida. La caracterstica es "un vrtigo
peculiar al levantarse con tendencia a caerse hacia atrs." En un caso de vrtigo
epileptoide, signos de constante congestin cerebral y medular; nusea y tendencia
frecuente al vmito, temblores persistentes; ataques epileptoides de carcter histrico y
opisttonos, Absinth. primero en tintura y ms tarde en 3, la curaron completamente. El
temblor es un aspecto marcado del medicamento; temblor de la lengua; del corazn.
Magnam, que estudi el absentismo, dice que los sntomas caractersticos son: Sbito y
severo mareo, convulsiones epileptiformes, delirio con alucinaciones, y prdida de la
conciencia. Por algn tiempo despus del ataque hay prdida de la memoria. El mareo y
los ataques epilpticos son lo ms importante de los sntomas. El agrega que aquellos
que toman ajenjo estn expuestos a manifestaciones histricas. Hay un gran alborozo
seguido de delirio horrible (Bell.); el paciente est obligado a estar caminando (Artem.,
Cham., Cin. tienen > al estarse moviendo). Paciente camina con su malestar, viendo
toda clase de demonios. Insomnio; tifoidea con congestin de la base del cerebro.
Corresponde a la nerviosidad, excitacin e insomnio de los nios.

[_a2]: general statement;
[_a3]: to 13 detailed cases.
Mind
- Delirium, with trembling of the hands and feet, [a9].

mouth;convulsions, with tetanic spasms like electric shocks, [a7].
- Terrifying hallucinations, [a11].
- Hallucinations, [a9].
- Terrifying hallucinations of persons pursuing him, [a6].
- Terrifying hallucinations, he sees all kinds of animals, cats and rats of all colors,
grotesque animals, fancies that he is pursued by soldiers, etc., [a4].

haemorrhages, blood black, liquid, very abundant false membranes on the inner surface of
the dura mater, superficial inflammation of the left hemisphere of the brain, pulmonary
emphysema, heart fatty, flabby, etc.)

- Liver enlarged, [a8].
Stool

Urinary organs
- Urine red, albuminous, [_a3].
Respiratory organs
- Cough, with some expectoration and crepitant rles (due very likely to some oedema of
the lungs dependent, on the albuminuria), [_a3].
- Voice feeble, speech hesitating, [_a3].
Heart and pulse

- Beat of the heart irregular, [_a3].
- Pulse rapid, [a9].
Extremities
- Trembling of the hands, [a5];especially in the morning, [_a3].
- Pain along the sciatic nerve, [a8].
Generalities
- Attacks resembling hysteria, [a13].
- Hysterical spasms;general rigidity of the limbs, followed by irregular convulsions,
accompanied by acute sensation of oppression, obliging the patient to put the hand to the
chest, as though there was a heavy weight there;at the same time he tossed about, cried out,
and wished to die; the convulsive spasm was generally succeeded by a momentary calm,
and so on in alternations for more than an hour, [a12].
- Epileptiform spasms, followed by delirium, [a6].
- The effects observed from intoxication by Absinthe are dependent upon disturbance of
motility. These are convulsive phenomena. The epilepsy develops itself in a relatively short
time, the reverse of which is true of the effects of Alcohol. The epilepsy of Absinthe differs
again from the epilepsy of Alcohol in its character. While the epilepsy of Alcohol becomes
analogous to true epilepsy only at a very advanced stage of the disease, that of Absinthe
assumes at once and completely all the characteristics of that disease. The person becomes
pale, loses consciousness, falls, sometimes utters cries, the face is convulsed;this is
followed by tonic convulsions, with tetanic rigidity of the limbs and of the trunk, which is
raised up, followed by clonic convulsions of the limbs;the face becomes violet and
cyanotic, respiration rapid, irregular, stertorous, froth from the lips, sometimes bloody, the
individual bites the tongue, at last falls into a comatose state, with stertorous respiration,
which lasts a longer or shorter time. After the person recovers consciousness he seems
stupid, dazed, and recollects nothing of what has passed. Sensibility is very obtuse, and
during the attack anaesthesia is complete. Sometimes the epilepsy of Absinthe is not
characterized by a complete attack, but has only vertigo or loss of consciousness;symptoms
which are found in true epilepsy. The third characteristic of the epilepsy of Absinthe is its
short duration. The violent attacks cease completely as long as the patient remains sober,
but when he begins to drink again he has new premonitions of an attack, which is not slow
in coming on. There may by one attack or several during the day or following days, but
usually there are three or four. Is this epilepsy of Absinthe the effect of acute or chronic
intoxication?We believe that it is an acute symptom manifested during the course of chronic
intoxication, found more often in those who drink to excess habitually;its appearance is
never delayed after the person has begun to drink Absinthe to excess. After drinking for six
months or a year, some day the person drinks to excess and the spasms come on. Acute
alcoholic mania or delirium tremens is equally an acute symptom during chronic
alcoholism, and the epileptiform spasms of alcoholism show themselves at a very advanced
period. Persons who are attacked by the epilepsy of Absinthe, drink generally eight, twelve,
or even twenty glasses of Absinthe a day. Others drink three or four, and are awaiting the
attacks. A circumstance of great importance is the predisposition. We find a large number of
drinkers who have never had spasms, or only slight symptoms. There are others, on the
contrary, who are attacked on their first excess. A large number of person habitually sober,
who drink occasionally a glass of Absinthe, become affected by a kind of intoxication, with
pains in the head and sensation of constriction in the temples, and they therefore rarely
drink Absinthe. Such persons tolerate, without the least trouble, a large quantity of Alcohol,
and experience no symptoms from it. This is a very common occurrence, but difficult to
explain, unless we admit the presence of a special agent in Absinthe. Dr. Voisin, in Nouv
Dict. de Med. et de Chir. Prat., art. Epilepsie, 1870, p. 604 et 628, says that the epilepsy
produced by wine, alcohol, etc., is usually characterized by long intervals between the
attacks, the epilepsy of Absinthe by the very large number of attacks in a very short space
of time. I have reported a case of epilepsy of Absinthe in which there were from on hundred
and fifty to two hundred attacks in twenty-four hours. Drs. Mace and Magnan have
observed the same effects, [_a2].
- Epileptic spasms, with cyanosis, frothing from the mouth, etc, [a10].
- Epileptic attacks, lasting twenty or thirty minutes, after which the hallucinations continue,
[a4].
- Epileptic spasms repeatedly, [a5].
- Was suddenly seized with a convulsion, during which he lost consciousness;there were
convulsive movements of the limbs face distorted, frothing from the mouth, biting the
tongue, [_a3].
- Convulsions and violent color of the face, frothing from the mouth, etc., [a8].
- Irregular intermittent spasms, without absolute loss of consciousness, [a13].
- Very great agitation, [a6].
- Trembling, [a4].
- General trembling, [a10].
- Trembling of the lips, hands and tongue, [a6].
- Trembling of the limbs, lips, tongue, [_a3].
- Symptoms of general paralysis, [a9].
- Very marked anaesthesia, [a13].

(Vannier: Remedios de estados agudos)
I. CARACTERSTICAS DOMINANTES
Tres signos caracterizan al enfermo de Aconitum: la fiebre, los dolores, la agitacin.
1) La fiebre
La fiebre aparece generalmente de tarde. Est caracterizada por escalofros, un estadio de
calor y un estadio de sudores.
Escalofro. El escalofro se extiende de los pies al pecho y a la cabeza. Dos signos se

observan entonces, caractersticos de Aconitum: el enfermo se escalofra "tan pronto como se
descubre" y "al menor movimiento". Por poco que levante las coberturas que le abrigan en la
cama, se escalofra.
Otros dos remedios tienen el mismo sntoma: Nux vomica, cuyos calofros son provocados
por el menor movimiento; y Silcea, que est siempre helado; el enfermo sabe que no tiene
necesidad de cubrirse, ya que nada puede calentarlo, al contrario de Psorinum que se cubre
mucho (es el individuo de 4 calzoncillos y 6 camisetas). Nux vomica tiene escalofros al
menor movimiento, aun fuera de la fiebre, despus de la comida. Silcea lo tiene en el da a
cada instante, puesto que est constantemente refrigerado.
Aconitum se escalofra cuando tiene fiebre, cuando est descubierto y al menor movimiento.
Al principio de la fiebre tiene una sensacin de fro, y al mismo tiempo presenta un "extremo
rubor de la cara". Est muy congestionado. Generalmente este rubor se manifiesta al
principio sobre una mejilla, despus sobre la otra, hasta tal punto que, al principio de las
manifestaciones, Aconitum puede confundirse con Chamomilla, cuya cara caliente tiene lo
que es su caracterstica - una mejilla roja y la otra plida. Pero mientras que en este enfermo
el fenmeno es permanente, aun sin fiebre, en el enfermo de Aconitum es transitorio, dura
una o dos horas. La cara est muy roja y caliente, con una sensacin de fro constante y
escalofros al menor movimiento.
Otro sntoma: el enfermo tiene las "pupilas contradas". Esto no tiene inters en s, sino
cuando se trata de hacer un diagnstico diferencial entre los remedios, particularmente entre
Aconitum y Belladona. Esta ltima tiene las pupilas fuertemente dilatadas; al contrario de
Aconitum que tiene pupilas contradas.
Calor. Aparece luego el estadio de calor. Caractersticas: "sequedad de la piel", que est
"roja", "caliente" y "quemante". El enfermo de Aconitum no transpira; durante el estadio de
calor tiene la piel seca. Este calor no se irradia, mientras que el de Belladona es irradiante. El
enfermo de Aconitum tiene, pues, la piel seca, quemante y la cara roja; pero la cara est roja
"solamente cuando est acostado", porque si para auscultarlo, por ejemplo, se le hace sentar,
inmediatamente su cara se pone plida; lo mismo sucede al levantarse. En fin, durante el
perodo de calor el enfermo experimenta una "gran sed" por pequeas cantidades de agua fra
frecuentemente repetidas; desea estar bebiendo siempre, pero agua solamente; toda otra
bebida como tisanas, caldos, leche, etc., las rechaza, porque tienen un "gusto amargo". Este
pequeo signo: todo con gusto amargo, salvo el agua, es caracterstico de Aconitum, mientras
que en la materia mdica existe otro remedio: China, en el cual todo alimento, incluso el
agua, tiene gusto amargo.
Otro pequeo signo: el enfermo "tose durante el estadio de calor" y al instante tiene opresin
al pecho.
Aconitum febricitante tiene siempre tos, aunque no presente ninguna localizacin

respiratoria. Tiene tambin puntos dolorosos en el pecho. Dos remedios tienen este sntoma:
tos durante el estadio de calor Bryonia, que tose no solamente durante este estadio, sino
tambin durante el estadio de escalofro (Aconitum no tose sino durante el estadio de calor).
El otro remedio es Rhus tox., cuyo enfermo tose antes y durante el escalofro. Su indicacin
se completa por el hecho de que tose siempre al descubrirse, por ejemplo, al sacar las manos
de las coberturas. Cuando el mdico le tiende la mano para saludarlo y le hace sacar la suya
fuera de las coberturas, el enfermo comienza a toser.
Diris que es ridculo estudiar sntomas tan pequeos. Notaris que estos sntomas no son
importantes tomados en s mismos, pero que lo sern cuando permitan distinguir claramente
los remedios homeopticos que deben ser utilizados en un caso agudo. No es conveniente
privarse de los elementos que son la base de un diagnstico diferencial rpido, puesto que
todos estos pequeos sntomas se suman y que, por un juego intelectual instantneo, llegaris
casi automticamente a conocer estas caractersticas que se encuentran repetidas de manera
constante en el estudio de la materia mdica.
As cuando estudiamos Rhus tox., encontraremos Aconitum. Cuando estudiamos Bryonia,

encontraremos Aconitum y Rhus tox. Poco a poco sus caracteres diferenciales se precisarn
de tal suerte que, ante un enfermo, podris automticamente ordenar una prescripcin exacta
y justificada.
Aconitum tiene siempre opresin, aunque no presente ningn ataque pulmonar. El calor seco
dura largo tiempo, 24 y a veces 48 horas, si no habis dado el remedio.
Es en este estadio donde la excitabilidad nerviosa de Aconitum est ms desarrollada,

agitacin que describiremos seguidamente.
Sudores. Despus del perodo de calor aparecen los sudores; son mucho "ms abundantes
sobre las partes cubiertas". Tan pronto como el enfermo comienza a transpirar, "busca
cubrirse". Los sudores son calientes y abundantes; inmediatamente el enfermo se torna
menos nervioso, menos excitable. Ya no presenta la ansiedad ni el temor caractersticos del
remedio.
Con las transpiraciones desaparece el estadio de calor con sus tres caractersticas: la fiebre
seca, los dolores y la agitacin. Es decir, que la indicacin de Aconitum desaparece. Por
consiguiente no hay posibilidad de engao: si un enfermo se presenta con fiebre seca,
agitacin y dolores, es Aconitum, por el contrario, si presenta fiebre hmeda (piel mojada),
abatimiento, es Belladona. Estos dos remedios no sern nunca alternados puesto que
presentan indicaciones diametralmente opuestas. No olvidis que la indicacin de Aconitum
desaparece desde que los sudores se manifiestan.
Ya sea durante el estadio de escalofro, de calor o de sudor, una gran caracterstica de

Aconitum aparece: la "aceleracin del pulso", el cual es extremadamente rpido, pero
"lleno", "duro" y "extenso".
2) Los dolores
Estudiamos ahora los dolores de Aconitum. Durante el estadio febril el enfermo puede sufrir
de dolores, pero puede tambin presentar dolores sin tener fiebre. Debemos, pues, considerar
los dolores en s mismos. Tienen un slo carcter, pero sobre el cual es necesario insistir: son
"intolerables", producen gran agitacin y un estado de ansiedad inaudito; hay temor de todo,
sobre todo de morir. La intolerancia al dolor es tan grande que el enfermo piensa que no
puede soportarlo.
Simultneamente se pueden estudiar otros dos remedios de dolores intolerables: Chamomilla

y Coffea.
El enfermo de Chamomilla es exasperado, irascible; no tiene ansiedad y prefiere morir antes

que continuar sufriendo, ya que los dolores son espantosos. Estos dolores sobrevienen antes
de medianoche; modalidad importante, porque los de Acnito aparecen a la misma hora, pero
los dolores de Chamomilla se acompaan siempre de adormecimiento, o alternan con este
ltimo sntoma. Por ejemplo, el enfermo puede sufrir de una citica o de una neuralgia facial,
pero si sobre la misma regin aparece un adormecimiento, enseguida el dolor se atena; si
reaparece el dolor, al contrario, el adormecimiento disminuye.
Coffea presenta dolores intolerables, pero no tienen las caractersticas de los de Chamomilla.
No tienen el temor de morir, de Aconitum; no est desesperado al punto de desear la muerte;
es solamente un hiperestsico y un desesperado.
Observacin: suprimiendo el caf a los enfermos tratados homeopticamente, se les

desensibiliza ya. Los que abusan del caf son siempre ms hipersensibles y presentan
reacciones mucho ms intensas cuando tienen dolores. As, suprimiendo el caf del rgimen,
no solamente se impide que ciertos remedios sean antidotizados por l, como Nux vomica o
Ignatia, sino que se desensibilizan los enfermos, quienes presentan entonces mayor tolerancia
al dolor y mayor sensibilidad a los remedios.
Cules son las caractersticas de los dolores de Aconitum? Se traducen por manifestaciones
"agudas", "desgarrantes" acompaadas de "hormigueo" y de "adormecimiento", como en el
enfermo de Chamomilla, pero estos sntomas en Aconitum no alternan con el dolor, y sobre
todo que son tan vivos e intolerables que arrancan crisis al enfermo que est extremadamente
agitado y temeroso de todo, especialmente "temor a la muerte".
Los dolores de Aconitum pueden ser congestivos, inflamatorios o neurlgicos. Tres

variedades de dolores que presentan las mismas caractersticas generales.
a) Los dolores congestivos. Hay una sola forma de dolores congestivos en Aconitum, la
cefalea, "cefalea frontal". La cabeza est pesada, el enfermo experimenta una sensacin de
calor intenso y presenta latidos visibles en los vasos temporales.
Veratrum viride presenta la misma cefalea congestiva, pero sta se acompaa de una
sensacin de estallido: el enfermo tiene las pupilas dilatadas, el pulso es lento, blando, dbil e
irregular.
b) Los dolores inflamatorios. Se encuentran, ya a nivel del odo externo (otalgia) ya a nivel
de las conjuntivas (conjuntivitis sin supuracin) acompandose de lagrimeo, ya a nivel de
las articulaciones (dolores articulares y reumatismales) provocados por la exposicin al
viento fro y seco.
No olvidis que este remedio tiene una gran extensin y que podis encontrar su indicacin
tanto en un romadizo como en un dolor de cabeza o en una artralgia, siempre que la causa sea
la exposicin al viento fro y seco y que las manifestaciones caractersticas funcionales y
dolorosas del remedio estn igualmente presentes. La sensacin de calor es predominante en
los dolores inflamatorios de Aconitum.
c) Los dolores neurlgicos. Existen sobre todo en la "cara" y ms marcados del "lado
izquierdo", se acompaan siempre de "hormigueo", pudiendo coincidir con una paresia de la
cara. Aconitum es el remedio por excelencia de la parlisis facial reciente que se produce
despus de algunas horas, mientras que otro remedio conviene a la parlisis facial ya antigua:
Causticum. Ambos son tiles en las parlisis faciales a frigori. Pensemos en Aconitum en las
neuralgias que sobrevienen a nivel del odo (otitis y otalgias), las neuralgias dentarias, las
neuralgias de los miembros con sensacin de fro y de adormecimiento.
Pequeo sntoma que es necesario conocer bien: el enfermo tiene la sensacin de que
"insectos corren sobre su piel". Cuando esta impresin se manifiesta al principio de ciertas
neuritis a frigori, Aconitum es con seguridad el remedio indicado.
3) La agitacin
Despus de la fiebre y de las manifestaciones dolorosas, estudiaremos la tercera gran

caracterstica de Aconitum "la agitacin". La agitacin es un trmino insuficiente porque se
acompaa de temor, y temor es tambin un trmino insuficiente porque, en realidad, es una
angustia, una ansiedad, un temor de que el enfermo est animado: tiene "temor a morir".
La agitacin es fsica y psquica.
Agitacin fsica. El enfermo tiene necesidad de tirarse de un lado al otro. Busca acomodarse
en un buen sitio, busca reposo, tranquilidad y no puede encontrarlos. Ninguna mejora se
produce. Est impaciente. Si es un febricitante, se arroja de un lado al otro. Si sufre puntada
de costado, el enfermo, a pesar de su dolor, est obligado a cambiar de posicin; no puede
permanecer en un mismo sitio.
Pequeo fenmeno curioso: desde que la reaccin de defensa del organismo se produce y el
lquido aparece en la pleura, el enfermo busca permanecer inmvil del lado atacado: se
justifica entonces el uso de Bryonia; el estadio de Aconitum ha pasado.
La agitacin fsica podra hacer pensar en Rhus tox. En este caso el enfermo est muy
agitado porque cuando se mueve sufre menos; mientras que Aconitum est agitado porque
tiene temor y tambin porque trata de buscar un buen sitio de acomodo que no puede
encontrar, y un reposo que no puede alcanzar.
La agitacin fsica se acompaa de una agitacin mental considerable.
El espritu del enfermo de Aconitum trabaja, en efecto, sin descanso, sin poder coordinar las
imgenes que se suceden continuamente. No puede dormir, tiene un sueo agitado, ansioso,
lleno de pesadillas. Presenta gran excitabilidad nerviosa. Esta se explica en razn de su
angustia y de su terror.
En las manifestaciones febriles, el "temor" de Aconitum se presenta bajo la forma de una

ansiedad muy grande. El enfermo tiene una cara de miedoso; gime. Sus primeras palabras
son: "Doctor, yo estoy muy enfermo, seguramente voy a morir, es el gran momento de que
usted intervenga; maana ya ser tarde; si esto contina". El enfermo predice la hora de su
muerte, aunque, en el fondo, l no cree que llegue; solamente tiene temor y piensa no poder
continuar soportando los dolores intolerables y el calor seco que lo agobia.
En la vida habitual, el temor de Aconitum se manifiesta de otra manera: el sujeto tiene temor
de caerse, temor, por ejemplo, de atravesar una calle; tiene "agorafobia". El temor es
constante e indefinible; se presenta bruscamente como una angustia y cuando esta angustia lo
acecha, cree que va a caer y morir; sin embargo, jams tiene sncope ni cada. Experimenta
simplemente una impresin brusca de un gran malestar.
Es interesante, desde el punto de vista de la dosis a prescribir, lo siguiente: Cuando vayis a

tratar un trastorno febril, prescribiris Acnito 6 C., pero si estis en presencia de un
trastorno sensorial y nervioso, si el enfermo dice: "yo no puedo atravesar una calle, he
consultado a mdicos y me dicen que esto es nervioso y que yo debo dominarme esto es fcil
de decir, pero no siempre fcil de hacer", daris, entonces, una sola dosis de Acnito 200 C.
cada 10 15 das. Constataris rpidamente la desaparicin de la angustia de vuestro
enfermo.
II CAUSAS HABITUALES
Hemos estudiado los tres dominantes de Aconitum: la fiebre, los dolores, la agitacin con
temor.
Cules son las razones que pueden transformar a un enfermo a tal punto de presentar estas
tres grandes caractersticas?. Dos causas principales: el "fro" y el "pavor".
El fro. Viento fro y seco, al pasar bruscamente del calor al fro, por ejemplo, entrar en una
cava o en una nevera. Enfriamiento que puede sobrevenir despus de un paseo, un ejercicio
deportivo: por ejemplo, despus de una marcha de dos horas, dejar abierto el parabrisa del
carro, experimenta inmediatamente una sensacin de fro y por la tarde tiene fiebre.
Diferentes remedios tienen la misma sensibilidad al fro. El principal es Bryonia, siempre

agravado por el fro. Otro es Hepar sulph., agravado tambin por el fro; un tercer remedio:
Nux vomica, y luego sigue Causticum, remedio de la parlisis a frigori, que perdura cierto
tiempo.
La segunda causa de los malestares de Aconitum es el pavor. Puede ser reciente o antiguo. El
pavor es susceptible de provocar vrtigos, temblores, detencin de las reglas (amenorrea) con
trastornos a veces bastante considerables; amenaza de aborto, si se trata de una embarazada.
Opium es tambin un remedio de pavor, si ste es reciente: el enfermo presenta una cara
caliente, hinchada, con sudores calientes. Recordaris que Aconitum es totalmente seco.
Opium tiene tambin heces involuntarias, negras, y no puede orinar. En un enfermo muy
atacado por el pavor que ha experimentado; sus extremidades inferiores estn fras; respira
mal; est afectado en su sensibilidad. Pero existe otro remedio de los temores al crepsculo:
Causticum. Es el caso del nio que no quiere ir a dormir por tener que atravesar un corredor
en la oscuridad o porque sabe que va a estar sin luz en su cuarto. Causticum est relacionado
con Aconitum en el tratamiento de las paresias provocadas por el fro: comienzo de la paresia
(Aconitum), paresia instalada (Causticum).
Hemos dicho que la aparicin de los fenmenos de Aconitum era causada por el fro y por el
pavor. Pero un carcter nico, dominante es la "extrema brusquedad". El sujeto es atacado de
un minuto a otro, no hay estado premonitorio, ni malestares anteriores. Es bruscamente,
despus de una exposicin al fro o de un pavor, cuando los sntomas se desarrollan con gran
rapidez, sobre todo cuando se trata de manifestaciones febriles.
III. ESTUDIO CLNICO
Tres grandes enfermos son solidarios de Aconitum: el digestivo, el respiratorio y el

circulatorio.
A) El enfermo digestivo
Estudiemos primeramente el enfermo digestivo. No olvidemos que las causas

desencadenantes principales son el fro y el pavor. En el enfermo digestivo de Aconitum
encontramos, despus de un terror, la ictericia y la diarrea.
Consideremos los sntomas que pueden aparecer desde la boca hasta el ano.
En primer lugar la "angina", que aparece bruscamente. Cundo?, por la "noche". El sntoma
agudo de Aconitum aparece siempre de noche, nunca en el da. El enfermo se despierta
bruscamente con una angina a medianoche, no pudiendo ni tragar ni respirar.
Cules son los caracteres que presenta esta angina? La boca est "seca", la garganta est
"seca", inflamada, dolorosa. El dolor es particularmente intenso al tragar; dolor "quemante"
que se acompaa de una "gran sed". Al examen constatamos un "rubor" de toda la faringe, las
amgdalas grandes y rojas. Al mismo tiempo existen manifestaciones febriles con agitacin,
ansiedad y aceleracin del pulso.
Veris que el estudio clnico del enfermo es bastante simple, ahora que conocis las
dominantes caractersticas de Aconitum.
Despus de la garganta examinaremos la lengua: est siempre "inflamada" y "blanquecina".

Hay un pequeo sntoma que se manifiesta tanto en la angina como en los trastornos
nerviosos de Aconitum: el "adormecimiento de los labios".
Estudiemos ahora el empacho gstrico. All aparece un sntoma premonitorio: todo lo que
bebe y come el enfermo tiene un "gusto amargo, salvo el agua" y como los animales
enfermos- no quiere comer nada ni beber otra cosa que agua. Aparecen entonces los dolores,
que son vivos, lancinantes, agudos, quemantes, siempre provocados por el fro. Hay "clicos"
producidos por el fro, que obligan al sujeto a inclinarse hacia adelante. Este gesto os har
pensar en otro remedio: Colocynthis: dolores bruscos, agudos, que obligan al enfermo a
inclinarse hacia adelante. La diferencia entre Colocynthis y Aconitum es fcil de establecer.
Mientras que este ltimo no se calma del todo al inclinarse hacia adelante, Colocynthis es
mejorado inmediatamente al inclinarse y apoyar las manos sobre el vientre. Ninguna posicin
calma a Acnito.
Al examen: "gran sensibilidad del abdomen": es difcil palpar al enfermo. El vientre est
"balonado", "doloroso", sobre todo en la parte inferior del lado izquierdo. En suma, el
enfermo presenta siempre colitis que se acompaa de diarrea. Las heces son lquidas,
acuosas, repetidas frecuentemente, aparecen sobre todo por la noche y ms particularmente
"hacia medianoche". Presentan un carcter interesante: son "verduscas"; se les compara a
"espinacas molidas". Se observan sobre todo en los nios, en los perodos de calor, cuando,
estando suficientemente abrigados, se resfran cuando se les desviste bruscamente hacia la
medianoche. Presentan entonces fiebre y enteritis, en algunos casos, con heces disentricas
sanguinolentas.
Las heces como "espinacas molidas" pertenecen tambin a otros tres remedios: Chamomilla,
Mercurius y Argentum nitricum.
Las heces de Chamomilla no son siempre como "espinacas molidas"; pueden ser espumosas
y amarillentas como "huevos revueltos". Es una diarrea que aparece, sobre todo, durante la
denticin: el nio tiene clicos flatulentos con mucho gas. Adems, como signo objetivo,
presenta una mejilla roja y la otra plida. En fin, transpira abundantemente y tiene sudores
calientes.
Como veis, no hay posibilidad de confusin entre Chamomilla y Aconitum.
Por otra parte, Chamomilla no ser nunca un remedio tan agudo como Aconitum, porque si la
enteritis de este ltimo aparece bruscamente despus de un golpe de fro, la de Chamomilla
est estrechamente ligada a accidentes de denticin y persiste durante todo su proceso.
Las heces de Mercurius son verduscas, pero no del todo como "espinacas molidas"; son
sanguinolentas y seguidas siempre de tenesmo: el enfermo tiene la impresin de no terminar
nunca Tiene escalofros, malestar, sudores semejantes a los de Chamomilla, pero no lo
mejoran absolutamente nada. La lengua es peculiar: espesa, amarillenta, "guarda la impresin
de los dientes". Existe un olor ftido de la boca que hace difcil el aproximarse al enfermo de
Mercurius.
Las heces de Argentum nitricum son verduscas, salpicantes, con gas ruidoso y ftidas. Se
observan en los bebs dbiles y en los viejos, as como en los emotivos, al momento de
presentar un examen o hacerse presente en una reunin.
B) El enfermo respiratorio
El enfermo se resfra y de ello resulta una inflamacin. Observaris coriza o cualquier otra
inflamacin aguda.
La coriza. El sujeto tiene la nariz afectada inmediatamente despus de un golpe de fro, ms

exactamente por la noche, porque los sntomas de Aconitum aparecen siempre de noche.
Luego el enfermo se despierta bruscamente y estornuda. Tiene poco o nada de escurrimiento
nasal; la nariz est seca, pero los estornudos son frecuentes. Despus aparecen escalofros y
fiebre; la irritacin nasal es mantenida por un dolor que aparece en la raz de la nariz y por
una quemadura que asienta en el fondo de la garganta. Estos son los sntomas de una coriza
aguda en su principio.
Existe otro remedio de coriza aguda: Camphora; la coriza aparece despus de un brusco
cambio de tiempo, pero no es influida por la exposicin al fro seco o a una corriente de aire
fro. Por ejemplo, el tiempo fro pasado el calor o la lluvia, o viceversa.
Camphora tiene nariz tapada, en tanto que Aconitum, a pesar de tener la nariz seca, puede
respirar. Pequeo sntoma curioso de Camphora: el aire inspirado por el enfermo es, o semeja
ser siempre mucho ms fro que lo que realmente puede ser; el sujeto experimenta una
impresin de fro en las fosas nasales. Adems, siente fro en todas partes, est
constantemente helado y no puede llegar a recalentarse. No ha tenido un golpe de fro , pero
est invadido por una sensacin de fro intenso. No hay estornudos ni escurrimiento. Pues, es
fcil hacer el diagnstico entre Aconitum y Camphora, sobre todo si se aade que este ltimo
trata de permanecer tranquilo y se rodea de bolsas calientes; mientras que Aconitum no
quiere estar cubierto y muy agitado. Todas las manifestaciones que lo excitan son un drama.
Si un enfermo es atacado bruscamente de una coriza con nariz seca por la noche, tiene
ansiedad y agitacin y repite constantemente "esto es insoportable"; a semejante enfermo le
daris Aconitum: la sequedad de la nariz desaparecer al instante.
Aconitum corresponde a todas las inflamaciones producidas por el fro, a todos los estados
inflamatorios agudos, bien sea de la laringe, la trquea, los bronquios o los pulmones. Es
necesario aclarar que el remedio no est determinado por el sitio de la localizacin mrbida.
Aconitum no tiene ninguna accin electiva; est indicado sobre todo por las caractersticas
dominantes que ya conocemos. El enfermo presenta siempre el mismo cuadro. Sin embargo,
es bueno indicar los caracteres de ciertos sntomas, particularmente la tos.
La tos puede presentarse de dos maneras en el sujeto de Aconitum: puede ser una tos "seca",
"breve" y "sibilante". Es el enfermo que por la tarde, y sobre todo por la noche, se pone a
toser. Es necesario notar que la tos aparece "antes de medianoche"; porque hay otros
remedios que la tienen despus de medianoche, y a veces la indicacin horaria permite
orientar la prescripcin. La tos de Aconitum se acompaa tambin de opresin, o puede
tambin ser "crupal", como si el enfermo fuera atacado bruscamente de crup, o de una
laringitis estridulosa. Aparece en el nio "a las 9 p.m. y a medianoche", es "ronca", "violenta"
y casi sofocante. Recordaris que siempre en las manifestaciones febriles de Acnito hay
opresin, pero cuando existe tos crupal, sta no es producida por la opresin sino por la
sofocacin. El nio lleva las manos a su garganta tratando de librarse de la sofocacin a
como de lugar. Podis pensar en otros dos remedios: Spongia y Hepar sulph., dos
medicamentos principales de la tos crupal, bien sea debida a una afeccin diftrica o a una
laringitis estridulosa. En Spongia, la tos aparece como la de Aconitum, antes de medianoche;
la sofocacin se establece lentamente, mientras que en Aconitum se instala bruscamente. He
aqu ya un pequeo carcter diferencial, pero hay otro, en la forma de la tos: la tos de
Spongia ha sido comparada por Nash al ruido de una sierra que pasa a travs de una plancha
de abeto. Cuando se ha odo una vez la tos de Spongia, ya no puede confundirse. Spongia a la
6a detiene la tos y Spongia a la 30 ac dada los das siguientes a ttulo preventivo, impedir la
recidiva de la laringitis estridulosa.
La tos de Hepar sulph aparece despus de medianoche y a veces en la maana. Es
extremadamente ruidosa, como si la trquea estuviera obstruida por mucosidades que no
pueden ser expulsadas.
En el enfermo de Aconitum hay tambin "dolores", pero sin ninguna localizacin: pueden
estar a la izquierda o a la derecha, en el dorso o hacia adelante. Son "agudos", "lancinantes",
"pungitivos"; se acompaan siempre de disnea, angustia y agitacin. El enfermo "no puede
acostarse sobre el lado doloroso".
Por consiguiente, ante un enfermo de Aconitum que se presenta con su fiebre, su agitacin,
su temor, su tos, su imposibilidad de permanecer sobre un lado, podis, sin hacer iriscopa,
decir: "Este es el lado que ser afectado" y afirmar la preparacin de una localizacin. Ms
tarde cuando, al contrario, el enfermo quede inmovilizado sobre este lado, podris
reemplazar Aconitum por Bryonia.
Aconitum, en fin, es un remedio de "hemoptisis" cuando sta se presenta con las

caractersticas siguientes: "sangre roja", "brillante", "clara"; y tambin cuando va
acompaada de todos los sntomas caractersticos de Aconitum, a saber: fiebre, agitacin y
temor. En presencia de semejante hemoptisis podris tal vez cometer el error de confundir
Aconitum con algunos otros medicamentos que se presentan con sangre clara, roja y
brillante. El diagnstico diferencial se establece con:
Ledum palustre, que presenta estas tres caractersticas, pero adems, la sangre es espumosa.
Esta hemoptisis sobreviene ms particularmente en los borrachos o en los reumticos. Existe
tambin una alternancia rara: la hemoptisis alterna a veces con la crisis reumatismal. Ante
esta alternancia en un enfermo que tiene manifestaciones alcohlicas o antecedentes etlicos,
podis pensar en Ledum palustre.
Otro pequeo remedio interesante que corresponde a la hemoptisis de sangre clara es

Millefolium. Aqu la sangre es abundante. A primera vista no hay ninguna diferencia entre la
hemoptisis de Millefolium y la de Aconitum, pero con este ltimo hay fiebre y agitacin, con
Millefolium, ni fiebre ni agitacin.
Tercer remedio de sangre roja clara: Cactus, pero all existe una tos convulsiva, palpitaciones,
dolor precordial y la caracterstica misma del remedio: sensacin de constriccin del corazn,
como por un torno, o una mano de hierro que lo inmoviliza a tal punto que el enfermo piensa
que pronto va a morir.
Siempre en las manifestaciones inflamatorias de Aconitum encontraris: agitacin, fiebre,

temor y aceleracin del pulso. Aadamos que el tercio superior del pulmn izquierdo
constituira para ciertos autores una zona de eleccin de las manifestaciones de Aconitum.
C) El enfermo circulatorio
Estudiemos ahora al enfermo circulatorio de Aconitum. El sntoma dominante es la

"aceleracin del pulso" que ya mencionamos. El pulso es "lleno", "duro", "saltn", raramente
intermitente.
Dos sntomas accesorios: l ) Los "trastornos vasomotores"; bocanadas de calor por todo el
cuerpo, tendencia sincopal. Cuando el enfermo se sienta, la cara habitualmente roja, se hace
bruscamente plida. 2) Las "palpitaciones" siempre brutales, violentas, acompaadas de
ansiedad y de temor a la muerte. Se manifiestan con sensacin de pesantez y de dolor
precordial con irradiacin al brazo izquierdo, pero irradiacin ms bien de adormecimiento y
de hormigueo.
Estos signos de seudoangina de pecho se observan en el enfermo despus de un pavor, y

requieren, no el uso de Cactus, que es un remedio de angina de pecho, sino de Aconitum. De
all que para la prescripcin de Aconitum es necesario distinguir bien los trastornos. Para las
manifestaciones de alteracin lesional, por ejemplo, dilatacin de la aorta, prescribiris
Aconitum en dilucin baja, ya a la 3a, ya a la 6a. Los viejos homepatas aconsejaban
emplear trituraciones en vez de diluciones. Para los trastornos puramente funcionales:
palpitaciones emotivas que se acompaan de angustia y agitacin, daris Aconitum 30a y
para los trastornos sensoriales y circulatorios, angustia con impresin de que el corazn va a
desfallecer al atravesar una calle, daris Aconitum 200a.
Es as como se reconoce la ley general: mientras ms cerca se est de la alteracin lesional,

menos alta debe ser la dilucin del remedio a prescribir; al contrario, mientras ms cerca se
est de los trastornos sensoriales, ms alta debe ser la dilucin.
Puede darse la siguiente regla: "En todos los casos donde hay una lesin, la dilucin baja es
la regla, la alta la excepcin. Inversamente: En todos los casos donde dominan los trastornos
sensoriales, la dilucin alta es la regla, las bajas diluciones la excepcin" (Len Vannier, La
Prctica de la Homeopata, 2a Ed. Doin y Ca., editores, Pars, l938).
IV. APLICACIONES TERAPEUTICAS
Desde el punto de vista digestivo, recordemos: las anginas agudas, las angiocolitis agudas
producidas por el miedo o por una exposicin al fro, los empachos gstricos que aparecen
despus de un enfriamiento en el curso de das calurosos.
Desde el punto de vista respiratorio: la tos, la coriza, las laringitis, las bronquitis, las
congestiones, la bronconeumona, las pleuresas, las hemoptisis.
Desde el punto de vista circulatorio: aortitis, endocarditis agudas, palpitaciones, seudoangina

de pecho, taquicardias, bocio exoftlmico. A menudo estos trastornos circulatorios se
acompaan de angustia, o, cuando la angustia es predominante, no es Ignatia lo indicado sino
Aconitum, que hay que darlo a alta dilucin.
Todos los dolores inflamatorios y reumatismales, como las neuralgias faciales, otitis, dolores
de dientes, citica, etc., son igualmente tratables con Aconitum.
Al principio de las enfermedades eruptivas: escarlatina, rubola, varicela, Aconitum es un

buen remedio, pero nicamente durante el primer estadio. Es necesario conocer bien sus
indicaciones caractersticas; se les puede resumir de una manera muy simple: fiebre seca,
aceleracin del pulso, agitacin extrema sin alivio, ansiedad con temor a morir, dolores
intolerables, sed inextinguible.
Existen signos objetivos de este remedio? Es muy interesante conocerlos en presencia de un

enfermo que no puede hablar. Veamos lo que manifiesta la enfermedad aguda de Aconitum.
La cara roja, caliente muchos remedios tienen esto- pero en Aconitum est roja "solamente
cuando el enfermo est acostado", es plida "cuando el enfermo se sienta"; los ojos son
huraos, "expresando la angustia", las pupilas estn "contradas", las "orejas rojas" como las
de Sulphur, pero mientras que ste tiene todos los orificios rojos, Aconitum no tiene rojo ms
que las orejas. A veces he encontrado un pequeo sntoma: la "rojez brillante de las
eminencias hipotenares". Esto pertenece nicamente a Aconitum y lo encontraris
mencionado en todas las materias mdicas.
No olvidis que lo que domina sobre todo el estado de Aconitum es el pavor, terror o miedo y
el temor (en especial temor a la muerte).
No olvidis tampoco que estos sntomas son provocados por el enfriamiento.
En fin, notaris que la indicacin de Aconitum cesa tan pronto como aparecen las
transpiraciones (eliminacin), o cuando se produce un derrame en una serosa (reaccin de
defensa). Aconitum cede su lugar entonces a otro remedio, y ste es generalmente Bryonia.
Recordaris que la indicacin de Aconitum aparece sobre todo en los sujetos de Sulphur y
que su complementario es habitualmente Bryonia.
ACONITUM NAPELLUS (Nash)
Miedo: a la muerte; a la muchedumbre; a salir de la casa. Miedo a todo, est siempre

temeroso.
Afecciones causadas por la exposicin al fro, especialmente al fro seco.
Primera etapa de las congestiones e inflamaciones agudas: con gran ansiedad, calor y
agitacin; se mueve en la cama de un lado a otro con angustia; rechaza las frazadas. Fiebre
inflamatoria.
Dolores rebeldes < a la noche, especialmente durante las primeras horas de la noche; dolores
neurlgicos.
Cara muy roja y caliente mientras est acostado, pero que se vuelve plida al incorporarse.
Puntos de ataque favoritos: laringe (crup), bronquios (bronquitis), pulmn y pleura

(neumona y pleuresa), articulaciones (reumatismo), corazn y circulacin (eretismo).
Modalidades: < durante la primera parte de la noche (sntomas torcicos y dolores); acostado
sobre el lado izquierdo; en una habitacin caliente o estando cubierto con frazadas.
> destapndose; rechaza violentamente sus ropas.
Ahora vamos a ocuparnos de lo que llamo "el tro de los remedios de la agitacin", a saber:
Aconitum, Arsenicum y Rhus toxicodendron.
Los tres muestran igualmente agitacin, pero son tan diferentes entre s que no existe ninguna
dificultad para elegir entre ellos. La agitacin de Aconitum se encuentra, ms a menudo,
durante las temperaturas elevadas de fiebres continuas o inflamatorias. No hay mejor
descripcin de la fiebre de Aconitum, en pocas palabras, que la dada por Hering: "Calor, con
sed; pulso rpido, lleno y duro, impaciencia, ansiedad, desasosiego, est fuera de s, se
mueve de uno a otro lado con angustia."
La costumbre que tanto prevalece de alternar Aconitum con Belladona en el tratamiento de

las afecciones inflamatorias, es insensata. Estos dos remedios no pueden estar indicados a un
mismo tiempo y si se logra un buen resultado con la administracin de ambos, podemos estar
seguros de que el remedio indicado cur a pesar de la accin del otro, que solamente sirvi
de obstculo; o bien podemos creer que el paciente se recuper sin la ayuda de ninguno de
los dos. Se dan muchos casos de esta especie en los que el mdico se felicita de una curacin
que fue solamente un restablecimiento por el cual no merece ningn encomio. Detengmonos
por un momento para sealar algunas de las diferencias de importancia diagnstica entre
estos dos remedios.
Ambos tienen gran calor de la piel, pero Aconitum presenta caractersticamente piel caliente
y seca, sin nada de sudor; Belladonna tiene mayor calor an en la superficie cutnea, pero
presenta transpiracin en las partes cubiertas. Aconitum se mueve de un lado a otro con
angustia y gran miedo a la muerte; Belladonna con frecuencia tiene semiestupor, sacudidas y
contracciones espasmdicas durante el sueo. Aconitum experimenta una gran molestia en el
corazn y en el pecho; en Belladonna todo parece concentrarse en la cabeza. Aconitum teme
a la muerte sin mucho delirio; Belladonna tiene miedo de cosas imaginarias, con delirio. De
esta manera podramos seguir dando elementos de diferenciacin. Cualquiera que comprenda
el arte homeoptico curar no alternar jams estos dos remedios.
Aconitum es tambin un gran remedio del dolor. Si tuviramos que nombrar los tres
remedios principales en este respecto, ellos seran Aconitum, Chamomilla y Coffea. Los
dolores de Aconitum van siempre acompaados de la extrema agitacin, ansiedad y miedo de
este remedio. El paciente se mueve, angustiado, de un lado a otro, "no puede soportar el
dolor, ni soportar que lo toquen, o que lo destapen." Pero, se me podr decir, todos los
remedios presentan dolor en su patogenesia. Responder a esto que no todos y que no son
muchos los que tienen un dolor tan intenso. Opium y Stramonium presentan ausencia de
dolor ms frecuentemente que dolor. Los dolores de Aconitum son intolerables y
generalmente empeoran en la primera parte de la noche o durante toda la noche.
Adems, en Aconitum encontramos a menudo, alternando con los dolores o a veces tambin
concomitantemente con ellos: adormecimiento de la piel, pinchazos y hormigueos. En esto se
asemeja a Rhus toxicodendron, pero en Aconitum predominan los dolores, mientras que en
Rhus tox. est en primer plano el adormecimiento de la piel, con dolor obtuso y
quebrantamiento. Los dolores de Aconitum son tan lacerantes y cortantes que llevan al
paciente a la desesperacin.
En este momento podemos referirnos a la caracterstica dominante de este remedio, porque

se halla casi siempre presente cuando Aconitum est claramente indicado. Una sola palabra
basta para expresarla: miedo especialmente miedo a la muerte, pero tambin miedo a cruzar
la calle, miedo de ir a reuniones, miedo de que ocurra algo, miedo siempre presente,
indefinible, irrazonable. Ningn otro remedio lo tiene en tal grado. Este miedo es, tanto como
el dolor, lo que provoca en el paciente esa intensa y angustiosa agitacin. La agitacin de
Arsenicum se acompaa de una extrema postracin y de una vitalidad disminuida. La
agitacin de Rhus toxicodendron se produce a causa de sus dolores, que lo obligan a moverse
debido al temporario alivio que obtiene por el movimiento. Arsenicum quiere moverse de un
lugar a otro, pero esto no lo mejora. Ni Aconitum ni Arsenicum logran alivio con el
movimiento, as como tampoco Arsenicum tiene el miedo de Aconitum o, por lo menos, en
tal grado.
Se ha hecho un gran abuso de Aconitum como remedio para la fiebre. An la antigua escuela,
asombrada ante los resultados del tratamiento homeoptico, tan superior a su denominado
tratamiento antiflogstico, y hallando que Aconitum era muy altamente recomendado y con
gran frecuencia utilizado para las afecciones inflamatorias, concluyeron, de acuerdo con su
manera habitual de razonar, que se podra vestir a Aconitum con el uniforme patolgico de
ellos y hacerle prestar servicio para todos los tipos de fiebre, simplemente porque era fiebre.
Pero pronto descubrieron que, por ms til que fuera en algunos casos de fiebre inflamatoria,
no tena ninguna eficacia para la fiebre tifoidea. Es as como la generalizacin desde un
punto de vista patolgico fue nuevamente condenada a la desilusin, como siempre habr de
ocurrir. Pero tambin muchos llamados homepatas han cado en un error similar al concluir
que, puesto que Aconitum haba curado rpidamente algunos casos que presentaban fiebre
elevada, por lo tanto era siempre el remedio adecuado con el que deban tratarse los casos
que presentaran alta fiebre. Tambin cayeron en el hbito de prescribir este remedio para la
primera etapa de todas las afecciones inflamatorias y hacerlo seguir posteriormente de otros
remedios ms apropiados para la totalidad del cuadro. Si Aconitum fuera el nico remedio
que presentara los sntomas de la fiebre inflamatoria, quiz no podramos hacer nada mejor
que manejar el caso en zigzag hasta obtener la curacin por ese medio. Dunham escribe:
"Nunca se debe administrar primero Aconitum para reducir la fiebre y luego otro remedio
"para combatir la enfermedad", jams se lo debe alternar con otros medicamentos con el
propsito, como con frecuencia se aduce, de "dominar la fiebre". Si la fiebre es de las que
requieren Aconitum, no es necesario ningn otro medicamento. Si otros remedios parecen
indicados, debe buscarse uno que combatir tambin la fiebre, porque muchos remedios,
adems de Aconitum, producen fiebre, cada uno a su manera."
Estas son palabras verdicas y cuando el que las lee ha comprobado su verdad, recuerda a su
gran autor y se siente inclinado a exclamar: "An muerto, habla todava."
Aconitum presenta dos modalidades *De acuerdo con el texto que sigue, quiz sera ms
correcto hablar aqu, de factores causales en vez de modalidades. (Nota del Traductor)* muy
importantes: la agravacin por los sustos y la agravacin por el aire fro y seco.
Anteriormente sealamos el valor del miedo de Aconitum como sntoma asociado a

afecciones inflamatorias agudas. Es asimismo y no en menor grado, un remedio para los
trastornos inmediatos o alejados causados por un susto. El paciente ha recibido un susto
mientras estaba en la oscuridad y desde entonces siempre siente miedo de ella. Como
consecuencia del susto sobrevienen vrtigos o desvanecimiento, temblor, amenaza de aborto
o supresin de los perodos menstruales. De igual modo puede producirse ictericia y
convertirse en crnica. Existen otros remedios para los efectos de los sustos; entre los ms
importantes se encuentran Opium, Ignatia y Veratrum album.
Vayamos ahora a la agravacin por el aire fro y seco. Ningn otro remedio tiene en forma
tan marcada inflamaciones agudas provocadas por el aire fro y seco. De veinte casos de crup
provocado por una exposicin al aire fro y seco, diecinueve sern curados por Aconitum.
Vivo en un lugar donde abunda el crup y he tenido frecuentes oportunidades para verificar
esto. Esta exposicin al aire fro y seco tambin puede dar lugar a pleuresa, neumona o
procesos reumticos y estas afecciones, como es de esperar, estn casi invariablemente
acompaadas de la alta fiebre, la angustia, la agitacin y el miedo tan caractersticos de este
remedio. Todas las congestiones o inflamaciones locales que sobrevienen por dicha
exposicin indican Aconitum, a condicin de que los dems sntomas correspondan.
Los otros principales medicamentos del aire seco son: Bryonia, Causticum, Hepar sulphur y
Nux vomica. Y he aqu algunos remedios del tiempo hmedo: Dulcamara, Nux moschata,
Natrum sulphuricum y Rhus toxicodendron. Es conveniente recordar caractersticas como
stas, porque una indicacin precisa vale ms que dos o tres indicaciones vagas.
ACONITUM NAPELLUS (Lathoud)
Aconitum Napellus, o Aconit Napel, o Capuchon, Madriette o Carro de Venus, planta vivaz
de la familia de las Ranunculceas, crece en toda Europa, especialmente en pases
montaosos: Francia, Suiza, Alemania, Alpes, Jura, Vosgos, en estado salvaje. En los jardines
se suele cultivar tambin como planta ornamental. El segundo nombre, napellus, le viene por
la forma de su raz, que semeja un pequeo nabo.
Se prepara la tintura madre con la planta entera, recogida hacia el fin de su floracin (en
Europa, en agosto).
Adems de las sustancias comunes a todos los vegetales, a saber: almidn, goma, cera,
clorofila, etc., materias albuminoideas, grasas, resinosas etc., el acnito contiene algunos
alcaloides a los cuales debera sus principales propiedades.
Estos alcaloides son la aconitina y la napellina.
"El acnito posee una inmensa esfera de accin que involucra gran nmero de estados
mrbidos, pero el remedio no les conviene sino en un instante especial de su evolucin
porque su accin no ofrece un desarrollo continuo de efectos que se pueda comparar a una
enfermedad completa". (Espanet).
Su mayor accin consiste en una exageracin de la actividad arterial, una marcada

hiperhemia sangunea, que se traduce en agitacin psquica y mental y gran ansiedad. Es el
medicamento que mejor se adapta al elemento inflamatorio, al elemento fluxin sangunea, a
la hiperhemia arterial; es el ANTIFLOGSTICO por excelencia (se le ha llamado "lanceta
homeoptica"), pero que no conviene sino en el PERIODO DE FORMACIN DE ESE
ESTADO, pues una vez localizada la congestin ya no es el remedio indicado, dado que ha
tenido lugar o bien un trabajo de hepatizacin, de transudacin o una alteracin cualquiera de
los tejidos (Espanet).
Afecta igualmente los nervios sensitivos, en cuya esfera produce HORMIGUEOS, picazones,
seguidos de ADORMECIMIENTO. Estudiando sus caractersticas, veremos que es el gran
remedio del dolor.
El medicamento acta de igual modo de una manera marcada sobre los nervios MOTORES.
"No produce parlisis, pero s ESPASMOS casi siempre de CARCTER TNICO. En el
envenenamiento por acnito, el trismus es un sntoma comn; adems el enfermo se queja a
menudo de otros sntomas que indican la prescripcin de acnito, como constriccin en la
garganta, calambres y otros sntomas locales (En algunas intoxicaciones aconticas puede
encontrarse, cuando son agudas y violentas, un estado de opisttonos completo cuyo estado
pseudotetnico puede ser verificado casi solamente por la estricnina). "Conviene adems
notar sobre todo la accin de acnito sobre los NERVIOS VASO MOTORES en cuya esfera
se encuentra una influencia excitante igual que en los dems centros msculo-motores. Es
principalmente por esta accin sobre los nervios vaso motores que se explica su
homeopaticidad en la fiebre astnica y los otros, sntomas hiperhmicos tan caractersticos
del remedio, y que tambin los cura, recordando fielmente su empleo en las
experimentaciones. (Hughes).
Caractersticas
CONSTITUCIN Y TIPO: Muy indicado en los nios en que la actividad de la vida

vegetativa reclama la del sistema arterial; muy indicado tambin en adolescentes y adultos
cuya circulacin arterial goza de toda su plenitud de accin; menos indicado en la edad
madura, en que la actividad vital se concentra principalmente en el aparato digestivo. Acnito
no se adapta casi en nada en los viejos, en los que predomina el sistema venoso y con l los
sntomas de una decadencia incesante e irreparable.
Puede decirse de una manera ms general que los sujetos que obtienen el mayor provecho del
empleo de este medicamento son los de constitucin sangunea, formas atlticas, bien
alimentados, vivaces, alegres, despreocupados o por el contrario que se entristecen
fcilmente, inquietos, timoratos, como consecuencia de privaciones o sufrimientos que han
deteriorado su constitucin volvindola ms nerviosa; pero en todos ellos predomina la tez
fuertemente coloreada, y generalmente los ojos y cabellos pardos o negros."Personas
jvenes, vigorosas, congestivas, pletricas, sensibles a los cambios atmosfricos y que caen
bruscamente enfermas despus de haber estado expuestas y o sea a un viento fro y seco muy
intenso (p. ej. congestiones pulmonares de invierno), o a un calor extremo (empacho gstrico
o gastrointestinal del verano)". (Nash).
"Los pletricos y los vigorosos de corazn fuerte, cerebro activo, circulacin enrgica, y que
sufren una enfermedad repentina a raz de exposicin a un brusco cambio atmosfrico, he
aqu la clase de individuos que necesitan acnito". (Kent).
BRUSQUEDAD, VIOLENCIA Y RAPIDEZ DE LA CRISIS: Acnito desencadena una

tormenta que sube bruscamente, en extremo intensa y pasa rpido.
"Los males curados por ACON. se producen repentinamente, luego de exposicin a un viento
fro y seco, p. ej.: el paciente, parece estar amenazado de muerte sbita y violenta, pero cura
rpidamente. En los individuos vigorosos a los que afecta, estas congestiones inflamatorias
parecen ser repelidas por una reaccin violenta y rpida.. Por otra parte, acnito no tiene en
su esencia ninguna de las manifestaciones que ordinariamente suelen seguir a una
inflamacin; si el enfermo cura, no le queda rastro de su enfermedad. As podemos encontrar
pruebas de su brusquedad y violencia en cada rgano del cuerpo: cerebro, pulmones, hgado,
riones, sangre, etc." (Kent).
EXTREMA INQUIETUD Y GRAN AGITACIN CON ANGUSTIA TERRIBLE Y MIEDO

A LA MUERTE: La agitacin muy marcada, la extrema inquietud, tan caracterstica del
remedio y que acompaan todos sus sntomas, se encuentran ms a menudo en los estados
violentos de su fiebre y no hay mejor cuadro esquemtico de la fiebre de ACON. que ste,
dado por HERING: "Calor con sed; pulso duro, pleno, frecuente; impaciencia ansiosa
imposible de calmar, el paciente est fuera de s tirndose de un lado a otro con angustia".
Esta agitacin es tan violenta como importante; es uno de los sntomas claves del remedio y
no es tan caracterstica en ningn otro remedio de nuestra Materia Mdica, salvo en RHUS
TOX. y en ARS. que Nash coloca junto a ACNITO en lo que llam el "TRIO DE LA
AGITACIN".
Junto a su extrema agitacin, ACNITO tiene una PROFUNDA ANGUSTIA, UN TEMOR

INDEFINIBLE, pero sobre todo UN GRAN MIEDO A LA MUERTE, y es ESTE TEMOR
CASI MAS QUE LA ENFERMEDAD EN SI, LO QUE PRODUCE EN EL ENFERMO
ESTA AGITACIN TAN CARACTERSTICA.
"Siente la violencia de su enfermedad pues est bajo la influencia de un eretismo arterial muy
fuerte, de una gran excitacin; el temor se refleja en su actitud y la accin cardaca es tan
agotadora que piensa que va a morir; lo que experimenta significa para l la muerte que tanto
teme. Cuando vemos este temor, esta agitacin, esta ansiedad intensa, esta crisis tan aguda,
tan violenta y tan repentina, estamos en presencia de un caso cuyo enfermo muere por el
veneno del acnito y tiene necesidad de ACONIT." (Kent).
Esta violenta angustia, este temor a la muerte, son signos de ACONIT.;en RHUS TOX. la
agitacin es ms simplemente la consecuencia de la modalidad ms particular de este
remedio: a saber, la gran mejora producida por el movimiento. Por otra parte la agitacin de
ARS. ALB. se caracteriza por extrema postracin y vitalidad reducida; es una agitacin
pasiva. Ninguno de estos dos remedios tiene la angustia profunda, el temor irrazonable, sobre
todo nocturno, de ACONIT.
Este temor a la muerte que puede notarse no slo en los estados febriles agudos de ACONIT.
sino tambin en otras manifestaciones que justifican el remedio, le imprimen un carcter tal
que lo han indicado como excelente para combatir los sntomas provenientes de un temor, de
un susto, ya sean recientes o no
OPIUM es otro medicamento bueno para los efectos del temor tales como diarrea o
convulsiones, vrtigos, temblores, etc.; ambos remedios son muy diferentes en sus otras
manifestaciones, al punto que resulta fcil distinguir el uno del otro. GELS., PULS., y
VERAT. son tiles segn las dems caractersticas del caso, para las diarreas causadas por
susto. Para los efectos crnicos de un susto, hay que acordarse de NATR. MUR., SILIC.,
PHOSPH. (Farrington).
IGNATIA es tambin un buen medicamento para tratar las consecuencias nerviosas de un

susto.AGNUS CASTUS tiene, como ACONIT. miedo a la muerte, tristeza con impresin de
un fin rpido y prximo, todo ello acompaado de melancola sexual. CACTUS tiene miedo
a la muerte; como agnus castus es triste, melanclico, de mal humor pero tiene esa sensacin
de constriccin al nivel del corazn, como una mano de hierro que lo oprime, que los otros
remedios no tienen.
PHOSPH. tambin tiene miedo a la muerte cuando est solo; a ello se agrega una gran
debilidad nerviosa, enflaquecimiento y un conjunto caracterstico fsico y moral que le da
una fisonoma propia y no da lugar a confundirlo. Por ltimo ARS. ALB. puede compararse a
ACONIT. no slo por su agitacin sino por una misma sensacin de miedo, de temor a la
muerte, pero tiene su debilidad particular y otras caractersticas que evitan que sea
confundido con ACNITO.
SNTOMAS, ESTADOS PATOLGICOS, PROVENIENTES DE UNA EXPOSICIN AL

FRO SECO: Las afecciones y enfermedades de toda clase causadas por un viento fro y seco
son especialmente curadas por ACON.
"Si la generalizacin en teraputica no constituyese un error podra decirse que ACON. es la

panacea de las enfermedades debidas al enfriamiento, por lo cual es indicado al comienzo de
las enfermedades que siguen a una exposicin al viento fro y seco. Conviene en particular en
los malestares causados por los vientos septentrionales, el cierzo, el fro seco de las alturas,
corrientes de aire en valles elevados o de montaa. Es indicado con ms precisin para las
constituciones pletricas, sanguneas, en los bebes mofletudos, no as en los plidos y
enfermizos" (Kent).
Para su comparacin, he aqu los otros remedios principales del aire seco y fro BRYON.,
CAUST., HEPAR SULF., CALC., Y NUX VOM.; he aqu algunos opuestos, es decir, del
tiempo hmedo: NUX MOSCH., NATR. MUR., SULPH., Y RHUS TOX. (Nash).
EL DOLOR DE acnito: ACON. provoca y cura un dolor INTOLERABLE, AGUDO,

DESGARRANTE, ACOMPAADO DE LA AGITACIN EXTREMA DEL REMEDIO, SU
ANGUSTIA Y SU TEMOR. Es violento como todo lo que produce ACON., el enfermo se
tira para todos pues no puede soportarlo ni ser tocado ni descubierto: "lanza gritos de dolor,
la intensidad de los dolores de ACON. es sorprendente" (Kent).
Adems este dolor EMPEORA DE NOCHE, HACIA LA MEDIANOCHE, como los otros
sntomas de acnito. El dolor viene acompaado de HORMIGUEO, ADORMECIMIENTO,
PICAZN, o bien alterna con estos sntomas.En fin, la nocin de EXPOSICIN AL AIRE
SECO Y FRO es importante en su etiologa.
El dolor es tan violento que cree no poder seguir soportndolo y se desespera, se agita,
pensando que va a morir; esto hace pensar en CHAMOM., donde el dolor sobreviene antes
de medianoche, acompaado de adormecimiento de la regin afectada y a menudo el
adormecimiento alterna con el dolor, intolerable, exasperado, no tiene ningn temor a la
muerte; por el contrario, prefiere la muerte a continuar sufriendo as. COFFEA, no presenta
la inflamacin de ACON. ni la moral de CHAMOM.; es ante todo, un hipersensible, que se
desespera cuando sufre.
Conviene notar que ACTEA RAC. y RAN. BULB. que pertenecen a la misma familia
botnica que ACON., presentan los mismos dolores agudos y bruscos, pero carecen de su
agitacin y ansiedad tan caractersticas.
Modalidades
A) Lateralidad
Izquierda
B) Agravacin
POR EL VIENTO FRO Y SECO
Por la noche, hacia medianoche; los sntomas del remedio: agitacin, angustia, dolores, etc.,
empeoran de noche, hacia medianoche, cosa curiosa, los otros dos remedios del tro de
agitacin, RHUS TOX., ARS. ALB., tienen la misma agravacin nocturna, hacia
medianoche;
EN UNA HABITACIN CALUROSA;
Estando acostado de costado;
POR EL VINO Y LOS ESTIMULANTES;
POR EL HUMO DE TABACO;
Por la msica, el ruido, la luz;
Por el miedo y emociones violentas.
C) Mejora
Al aire libre;
DURANTE EL REPOSO, DESPUS DE UNA TRANSPIRACIN CALIENTE.
Sntomas mentales
Ansiedad con miedo que acompaa los menores sufrimientos. Miedos: a la muerte, a las
tinieblas, de atravesar la calle, de viajar, y de una muchedumbre.
Temor de que algo le pase; miedo siempre presente, indefinible, irrazonable, con sensacin
de angustia. Timidez despus de un susto. Este miedo perpetuo torna su vida miserable, pues
dicho temor lo encontramos tanto en las enfermedades febriles agudas, como en su vida
habitual.
Inquietud fsica y moral: se tira de un lado a otro cuando se acuesta, sin que ello mejore. Est
persuadido, de que su enfermedad es mortal, y predice da y hora de su muerte.
Agitacin con gran excitabilidad nerviosa. Delirios agudos. La msica lo pone triste y le
resulta insoportable.
Indiferencia total hacia todos durante el embarazo (Hering).
Sueo
Insomnio causado por un calor general demasiado grande, que se acompaa de AGITACIN
E INQUIETUD. No puede dormirse, pues su pensamiento le trabaja sin cesar. Sueo malo,
agitado, con pesadillas, sueos angustiosos, sobresaltos durante el sueo, sobre todo despus
de medianoche.
Cabeza
CEFALEA CONGESTIVA, cabeza torpe y pesada y al nivel de la frente hay una sensacin
como si un cuerpo extrao fuese empujando fuera de la cabeza.
Sensacin de plenitud con calor intenso como de agua en ebullicin, acompaada por
violentos latidos del corazn, arterias, pulso y sienes, con fiebre, agitacin, angustia, miedo.
Cabeza muy caliente exteriormente. (BELLADONA).
Despus de exposicin al sol o de haber tomado fro, o de la supresin de un coriza, en una

persona pletrica puede encontrarse esta cefalea congestiva
Peor durante la noche, hablando, levantndose, bebiendo, mientras mejora al aire libre.
VIOLENTO DOLOR DE CABEZA FRONTAL,; CONGESTIN DEL CEREBRO CON

DOLOR DE CABEZA CONGESTIVO, ANSIEDAD, AGITACIN Y CARA CALIENTE,
ROJA, CONGESTIONADA, a veces con COLORACIN ENTRE NEGRO Y AZUL como
en VER. VIRID., pero mientras el pulso de ACON., es lleno, duro, tenso y rpido, el de
VERAT. VIR. es lento, flojo, dbil y a menudo irregular: por otra parte la cefalea de VERAT.
VIR. es tambin diferente : la cabeza parece que quiere estallar como si el cerebro fuese
demasiado voluminoso y las pupilas se dilatan, mientras que en ACONIT. es slo a la altura
de la frente que el cerebro parece salirse. Cefalea con orina abundante (IPECA, GELSEM.).
VRTIGO AL LEVANTARSE DE LA POSICIN HORIZONTAL, al agacharse sobre todo
en habitacin calurosa, a veces con vrtigo y sncope. Vrtigos que sobrevienen bruscamente
despus de un susto, exposicin al sol, por supresin brusca de reglas por el fro.
Cara
CARA ROJA, VULTUOSA, UNA MEJILLA PUEDE ESTAR ROJA Y CALIENTE, LA

OTRA PLIDA Y FRA, como en CHAMOMILLA.
NEURALGIA FACIAL, SOBRE TODO A LA IZQUIERDA. CUYOS DOLORES

AGUDOS, DESGARRANTES, INSOPORTABLES, SE ACOMPAAN DE
HORMIGUEOS, como si se pasearan insectos por la piel. NEURALGIA A FRIGORE,
congestiva, aguda, a la altura del trigmino izquierdo;dolores insoportables que llevan al
enfermo a la desesperacin, cortantes, ardientes, punzantes, violentos; peores de noche, hacia
medianoche; se acompaan de hormigueo y adormecimiento, "de agua helada que corre a lo
largo del nervio" (Kent). La cara est roja, hinchada, congestionada, y existe la agitacin
propia del remedio.
Puede comparase a SPIGELIA que es til en la neuralgia facial peor del lado izquierdo, con
sensacin de quemadura intensa, dolor punzante, insoportable, acompaado por excitacin
intensa, pero no existen los hormigueos de ACON.
COLCHICUM, que tiene dolores en la mitad izquierda de la cara hasta la oreja y cabeza, con
hormigueos de piel y la cara de aspecto congelado; la mejilla del costado enfermo est roja,
hinchada y transpira; hay mucho eretismo nervioso con dolores, que parecen insoportables:
pero no hay la agitacin tan caracterstica de ACON. VERBASCUM que tiene una neuralgia
facial que afecta sobre todo el costado izquierdo con lagrimeo, coriza y sensacin como si las
partes doloridas, estuviesen oprimidas con pinzas, lo que no encontramos en ACON.
AGARICUS que tiene una neuralgia facial con dolores semejantes a agujas de hielo
pinchndole las mejillas e irritando el nervio; dolores lancinantes, desgarrantes, agudos,
como provocados por una astilla; por otra parte esta neuralgia NO afecta a una mejilla ms
que a otra. PLATINA tiene una neuralgia facial acompaada por hormigueos y
adormecimiento; pero estos dolores aparecen y desaparecen progresivamente, lo cual est
muy lejos de la brusquedad de ACON., son sobre todo frecuentes del lado derecho; en fin, el
tipo de medicamento es una gran indicacin para su eleccin, lo mismo que para
LACHESIS, en que la lateralidad izquierda de los dolores de la neuralgia facial pueden hacer
pensar en ACONIT.; la acompaan igualmente flujos de calor; pero son los dos nicos
sntomas que tienen en comn; todos los dems conducen a una clara diferenciacin.
ADORMECIMIENTO, PARLISIS HEMIFACIAL DESPUS DE EXPOSICIN A UN

VIENTO FRO Y SECO, acompaados de la sensacin caracterstica de hormigueo. ACON.
no es til ms que al comienzo del caso; y no tarda en ceder su lugar a CAUSTICUM.

Aparato digestivo
1) BOCA: Boca seca CON SED INSACIABLE Y VIOLENTOS DESEOS DE AGUA FRA;
TODO TIENE GUSTO AMARGO, excepto el agua (CHINA: todo, incluso el agua es
amargo).

2) FARINGE: La garganta de ACON. es ROJA Y SECA, contrada, con SENSACIONES DE

ADORMECIMIENTO, PICAZN, DOLORES ARDIENTES, PUNZANTES.
AMGDALAS HINCHADAS Y SECAS, y en su zona LA MUCOSA TAMBIN ES MUY
ROJA.

pletricos, congestivos, que han estado expuestos a viento fro y seco.
El enfermo se despierta bruscamente no pudiendo ya tragar ni respirar; garganta hinchada,

amgdalas hipertrofiadas; mucosa farngea rojo subido; dolor intenso al tragar comparable a
una quemadura; fiebre alta, agitacin y ansiedad.
3) ESTOMAGO: ACON. TIENE UNA SED INEXTINGUIBLE Y QUIERE AGUA FRA;

todo le parece amargo; slo el agua tiene buen sabor, y siempre que sea fra. BRYONIA
tambin tiene sed de agua fra en cantidades grandes, pero a intervalos largos; mientras que
NATR. MUR. que tambin tiene sed y bebe grandes cantidades de agua lo hace a intervalos
cortos. ARS. ALB. es otro medicamento muy sediento que bebe pequeas cantidades de agua
a la vez, lo hace con frecuencia a intervalos cortos, mientras que CHINA, que bebe poco a la
vez, lo hace a intervalos largos, pues todo lo siente amargo, hasta el agua
.

4) ABDOMEN Y DEPOSICIONES: Mientras los trastornos disppticos de ACON. son de

poca importancia, sin caractersticas grandes muy netas, el vientre es la parte ms afectada.
Vientre CALIENTE, TENSO, TIMPANIZADO, sobre todo MUY SENSIBLE AL TACTO,

difcilmente palpable. HAY VIOLENTOS DOLORES ESPONTNEOS, AGUDOS,
LANCINANTES, ardientes principalmente A LA ALTURA DEL OMBLIGO;
SOBREVIENEN SOBRE TODO DESPUS DE EXPOSICIN AL FRO SECO. CLICOS
QUE NO CALMAN EN NINGUNA POSICIN, no pasa como en BRYONA que calman
por la presin. COLOC. calma si el paciente se tira hacia adelante, doblndose en dos.
Hemorroides sangrantes con enrojecimiento y tumefaccin. Deposiciones lquidas, acuosas,

frecuentes, semejantes a espinacas picadas, con deseos urgentes y tenesmo. Diarrea
mucosanguinolenta con fiebre, agitacin, insomnio; el nio se queja a gritos y ninguna
posicin le calma. Diarrea que aparece generalmente en verano despus de haber abusado de
bebidas fras, o despus de haber suprimido bruscamente una transpiracin abundante; en el
otoo, en noches fras que suceden a das calurosos; en este ltimo caso, MERC. sigue bien a
ACON
Aparato urinario
Retencin de orina con dolores renales, agitacin, despus de exposicin al fro o de

traumatismo (ARNICA). Orina escasa, caliente, roja, dolorosa con agitacin y ansiedad, en
una inflamacin aguda; sensacin de quemadura en la uretra con ansiedad al comienzo de la
miccin.
A veces despus de aplicar frceps, el recin nacido no orina; grita y est agitado; ACON. es
til en estos casos.
1) MASCULINO: Frecuentes erecciones y emisiones: dolores desgarrantes en los testculos,

que estn hinchados y duros. Orquitis de aparicin brusca en sujetos pletricos, acompaada
de fiebre, agitacin y el miedo ansioso tpico del medicamento.
2) FEMENINOS: Vagina seca, roja, sensible. Ovarios congestionados y dolorosos. Metritis

con dolores muy agudos.
REGLAS MUY ABUNDANTES Y PROLONGADAS; A VECES CORTAS, O

REEMPLAZADAS POR EPISTAXIS en mujeres pletricas y vigorosas, muy sensibles.
Antes de las reglas, enrojecimiento y congestin facial, pulso pleno y acelerado; humor
cambiante, a veces triste, a veces alegre. Durante las reglas, dolores congestivos; a veces
verdaderos clicos menstruales fuerzan a la paciente a doblarse en dos; llamaradas de calor
con ansiedad. Despus de las reglas, leucorrea abundante, amarilla, viscosa, sanguinolenta.
Amenorrea sbita a raz de un susto, clera, emocin fuerte, o gran alegra; o despus de
exposicin al fro intenso y seco, en mujeres pletricas.
Miedo a la muerte; agitacin ansiosa durante el embarazo; tiene miedo de que su parto vaya
mal y que termine en accidente mortal. Despus del parto, hemorragia con sangre rojo
brillante abundante, con agitacin ansiosa y temor de morir.
1) NARIZ: CORIZA con muchos estornudos despus de exposicin al aire fro y seco.
Generalmente, la noche que sigue a esta exposicin hay gran sequedad de la nariz con
muchos estornudos y poco o muy poco derrame acuoso. Todo esto se acompaa de
escalofros seguidos de fiebre, con piel seca, agitacin, dolor en la raz nasal, sensacin de
quemadura en la garganta. El coriza de ACON. es del tipo agudo al principio; slo un
remedio puede comparrsele, CAMPHORA, que tambin tiene un comienzo sbito luego de
un cambio brusco de tiempo; nariz tapada y seca, el aire inspirado parece ms fro que
normalmente; hay cefalea frontal, escalofros, y el enfermo siente fro en todo el cuerpo; est
congelado y no puede entrar en calor, lo cual es bien distinto del calor seco y agitacin de
ACON.
Epistaxis congestiva, con sangre roja, brillante.
2) LARINGE: Laringitis aguda; laringe muy sensible al tacto y al aire inspirado; dolores y
espasmos agravados por la inspiracin. En la laringitis de SPONGIA la laringe no slo duele
al tocarla, sino con los movimientos del cuello, al volver la cabeza.
Tos crupal; CRUP PROVENIENTE DE HABER TOMADO FRO DURANTE EL DA EN

NIOS PLETRICOS; la tos aparece durante el primer sueo entre 21 y 23 hs., antes de
medianoche; es ronca, violenta y casi sofocante al instante; el nio agitado, excitado y
ansioso, lleva sus manos a la garganta porque se ahoga. SPONGIA tiene sntomas muy
semejantes, pero el espasmo larngeo proviene en forma menos violenta, menos rpida, la
sofocacin se produce en forma paulatina y progresiva, y la respiracin estridulosa no se
interrumpe durante los paroxismos; adems la tos de SPONGIA es caracterstica : puede en
verdad compararse al "ruido de una sierra cortando madera de abeto" (Nash).
Por otra parte, si la tos crupal es ardiente, como si la trquea estuviese llena de mucosidad
que el paciente no puede expectorar, y si adems la tos aparece o es ms marcada despus de
medianoche, es decir hacia la madrugada, hay que pensar en HEP. SULF. CALC.
Por ltimo, no hay que confundir este estado crupal larngeo de ACON. con los de IODIUM
O BROMIUM.
3) BRONQUIOS Y PULMONES: ACON. ES CONVENIENTE EN TODOS LOS

ESTADOS INFLAMATORIOS DE BRONQUITIS Y PULMONES: EN LOS ESTADOS
CONGESTIVOS QUE SOBREVIENEN BRUSCAMENTE CON MANIFESTACIONES
VIOLENTAS, EN SUJETOS PLETRICOS, SANGUNEOS, VIGOROSOS, FUERTES.
DOLORES AGUDOS, LANCINANTES, ARDIENTES, QUE OBLIGAN AL ENFERMO A

ACOSTARSE DE ESPALDAS, despus de exposicin al viento fro y seco, con disnea y
angustia. El enfermo no puede acostarse de costado, sobre todo del lado afectado pues
entonces el dolor aumenta. EL PUNTO QUE DA LUGAR A LA ELECCIN DE ACON., ES
LA MITAD SUPERIOR DEL PULMN IZQUIERDO.
TOS GENERALMENTE SECA Y BREVE, SIBILANTE, CRUPAL, AGRAVADA POR LA

NOCHE, sobre todo antes de medianoche, peor por los vientos fros y secos, por las
corrientes de aire, bebiendo, fumando; NADA PARECE CALMARLE; se acompaa de
disnea, fiebre, dolores agudos, angustia y agitacin.
HEMOPTISIS DE SANGRE ROJA, BRILLANTE, CLARA, A VECES ABUNDANTE,

CON FIEBRE, ANSIEDAD Y TEMOR; ACON. responde a la hemoptisis congestiva de
comienzos de la tuberculosis, primer indicio de una fiebre caracterstica y sobre todo el
miedo angustioso de una muerte cercana, acompaan a la agitacin de ACON. ARNICA, que
tiene hemoptisis de sangre roja, brillante, espumosa y mezclada de tos; sobre todo la nocin
etiolgica de un traumatismo es primordial para la eleccin del remedio. BELL. tambin
tiene hemoptisis de sangre rojo vivo caliente, acompaada de una sensacin como si el pecho
estuviese inundado de sangre; acompaado sobre todo de violenta congestin de cabeza
propia del remedio, tan caracterstica, y generalmente consecutiva a supresin intempestiva
de las reglas. La hemoptisis de CACTUS GRANDIFL. se acompaa de tos convulsiva,
palpitaciones y sensacin de constriccin particularmente a la altura del corazn, lo que
permite elegir con seguridad el remedio. IPECA puede presentar despus de exposicin al
viento fro y seco o a la humedad, escalofros seguidos por esputos sanguinolentos
abundantes, rojo vivo provocados por cosquilleo de laringe acompaado de tos seca,
quintosa; hay disnea, angustia, cara lvida, sin que estos sntomas tengan la violencia de
ACON. LEDUM PAL. que tiene hemoptisis abundante de sangre rutilante; se acompaa de
dolor ardiente en un punto del pecho donde parece provenir la sangre y de tos hueca,
fatigante, provocada por cosquilleo en laringe o trquea; abunda entre los borrachos o los
reumticos, en los que alterna con crisis reumticas. Por ltimo, MILLEFOLIUM tiene
tambin una hemoptisis de sangre abundante, rojo vivo, pero carente de tos, fiebre y dolores;
solamente tiene en el pecho una sensacin de hervidero como si de l subiera sangre caliente.
Los trastornos circulatorios de ACON. son importantes. Hay en primer trmino

TRASTORNOS VASO MOTORES marcados y que se traducen por LLAMARADAS DE
CALOR EN TODO EL CUERPO, SENSACIN DE CALOR ARDIENTE O DE FRO DE
HIELO. Cuando el paciente se sienta en el lecho, su cara que estando acostado era roja y
congestionada, se vuelve de una palidez mortal con tendencia al sncope. Otro sntoma es que
el enfermo puede presentar UNA MEJILLA ROJA Y LA OTRA PLIDA (CHAMOM.).
PULSO PLENO, TENSO, DURO SALTN, A VECES INTERMITENTE.
PALPITACIONES BRUSCAS Y VIOLENTAS ACOMPAADAS DE AGITACIN,

ansiedad y temor a la muerte. PESADEZ DOLOROSA EN LA REGIN PRECORDIAL
CON IRRADIACIN AL BRAZO IZQUIERDO, ADORMECIMIENTO Y
HORMIGUEOS. ACON. es muy indicado en ENDOCARDITIS Y AORTITIS, al comienzo
cuando los signos que presenta el enfermo, se acompaan de disnea intensa, con ansiedad,
angustia, agitacin y miedo a la muerte. Adems se encuentra con frecuencia en agotados
nerviosos o en mundanos neurticos, crisis de ansiedad o de angustia indefinible
acompaadas de palpitaciones que desaparecen con ACON. Con respecto a los
medicamentos para la aortitis cuyos sntomas pueden evocarlos de ACON. debemos pensar
en SPIG., NAJA, CACTUS, SPONGIA, AMYL. NITROS., ARS. ALB., ARNICA,
CUPRUM; etc.
Rigidez de la nuca, dolores agudos en la espalda, que sobrevienen en forma brusca despus
de haber tomado fro, acompaados de hormigueo a lo largo de la columna vertebral como si
insectos caminaran sobre la piel
ACON. es un remedio indicado en las neuralgias a frigore que sobrevienen bruscamente y

atacan especialmente a personas congestivas y pletricas. Los dolores son agudos, muy
intensos al comienzo, acompaados de hormigueo y adormecimiento. Si predomina la
inflamacin, hay sensacin de calor; si slo existe neuralgia, hay sensacin de fro; pies fros
como hielo, manos y pies fros, o ms a menudo, manos calientes y pies fros.
ACON. es til EN EL PERIODO INICIAL DE LA CITICA, cuando es causada por

intempestiva exposicin al aire fro y seco. Los dolores que se producen de repente, son
agudos, desgarrantes, intolerables;se acompaan de la extrema agitacin y angustia
caractersticas del remedio con sensaciones de hormigueo, adormecimiento, picazn, o bien
los dolores alternan con estos ltimos sntomas. Todos ellos empeoran de noche, sobre todo
hacia medianoche, y se agravan por el movimiento, mientras que el enfermo se siente algo
calmado estando sentado.
Inflamacin reumtica aguda de las articulaciones, al comienzo principalmente del lado

izquierdo; dolores agudos, desgarrantes, con enrojecimiento y tumefaccin de las partes
afectadas; gran sensibilidad al tacto y agravacin nocturna con agitacin ansiosa. La etiologa
a frigore tiene verdaderamente un gran valor para la eleccin del remedio. Lugares
especialmente afectados: cuello, espalda y riones. En el reumatismo del hombro otros dos
remedios deben distinguirse de ACON.: FERRUM MET., que ataca especialmente el hombro
izquierdo, pero el dolor es sobre todo muscular, hacindose sentir ms sobre el deltoides y
agravndose al levantar el brazo; SANGUIN., que contrariamente a FERRUM ataca al
hombro derecho y es particularmente articular.
Convulsiones durante la denticin; el nio se muerde los puitos y lanza gritos agudos; la
cara enrojece, si bien puede haber una mejilla roja y otra plida, como en CHAMOM. Piel
seca, ardiente y fiebre elevada.
Piel
La piel es sede de sntomas ms o menos generalizados. Por otra parte es siempre seca, roja,
ardiente, caliente, hinchada, brillosa. Puede presentar tambin un aspecto similar al de la
rubola. Por ltimo, las partes cubiertas se cubren de abundante transpiracin.
Fiebre
La fiebre de ACON. es tpica: sobre todo, ms marcada a la noche, hacia medianoche.
Presenta en sus tres fases las siguientes caractersticas : ESCALOFROS DESDE LAS
EXTREMIDADES AL PECHO Y CABEZA; agravados por el movimiento. CALOR SECO;
piel roja, caliente, ardiente, pero seca; cara roja, pero palidece al sentarse el paciente en el
lecho; sed intensa de grandes cantidades de agua; extrema agitacin con gran angustia y
temor, especialmente de morir; el enfermo, imposible de calmar, est fuera de s, se tira para
todos lados sintiendo dolores angustiosos, SUDORES EN LAS PARTES CUBIERTAS
SOLAMENTE. El enfermo debe cubrirse tan pronto como comienza la transpiracin; Y
UNA VEZ QUE LA TRANSPIRACIN SE HAYA GENERALIZADO LA INDICACIN
DE ACON. CESA.
Relaciones
Los cidos, frutas cidas, vino, limonada, caf, modifican la accin de ACON.

ACONITUM NAPELLUS (Kent)
El Aconitum es un medicamento de accin rpida. Sus efectos no duran mucho tiempo. Es un

veneno violento en grandes dosis, ya sea destruyendo la vida o pasando pronto en sus
efectos, de tal manera que si el paciente se recobra, ello no se retarda. No le siguen
enfermedades crnicas. A semejanza de una gran tormenta viene y pasa por encima
prontamente. Pensando un poco descubriremos qu clase de enfermedad es semejante, y qu
tipo de paciente es el ms propenso de tener esta enfermedad sbita y corta. Si pensamos por
un momento en la experiencia y en la observacin homeoptica, recordaremos esos
individuos, vigorosos, pletricos, que se vienen abajo violentamente cuando toman fro,
mientras gente dbil, enfermiza, se abate y se recobra lentamente de enfermedades graves y
no llega a enfermarse en forma tan aguda y repentina. De esto, y de examinarlos efectos
sbitos del Aconitum, ser fcil observar que las personas que decaen con enfermedades de
Aconitum son individuos pletricos. Gente robusta, fuerte, nios recios e infantes llegan a
enfermarse, no por un fro o exposicin leve, sino por una exposicin violenta, con ropas
insuficientes; de cambios sbitos violentos; de una prolongada accin del fro o viento seco.
Una persona sorprendida afuera con ropa liviana, o permaneciendo afuera expuesta al fro,
aire seco o a mitad del invierno, con sus cambios violentos, repentinos, enferma incluso antes
de la noche con sntomas graves. Esta es la clase de pacientes, pletricos y vigorosos, que
tienen un corazn fuerte, cerebro activo, una vigorosa circulacin y se vienen abajo
sbitamente de una exposicin violenta, que necesitan Aconitum.
El Aconitum no tiene en su naturaleza ninguna de las consecuencias que siguen usualmente a

la inflamacin. La tormenta pasa tan pronto que parece mayormente ajustarse a la dolencia
primitiva. En estos pacientes vigorosos las congestiones repentinas son eliminadas
probablemente con una buena reaccin. El paciente parece amenazado por una muerte sbita
violenta, pero se recobra rpido. As, como ha sido observado por Dunham, es una gran
tormenta que pasa pronto. La discusin de Dunham de este medicamento en su Materia
Mdica es muy potica y meritoria su lectura.
Los ataques llegan bruscamente de una exposicin a un viento seco y fro. Tenemos un
ejemplo en nios pletricos por la congestin sbita del cerebro con fiebre intensa o con
convulsiones. Obtenemos manifestaciones de su rapidez y violencia en cualquier rgano del
cuerpo, el cerebro, los pulmones, el hgado, la sangre, los riones. Conviene a los
padecimientos que vienen de pronto de un tiempo muy fro en invierno o de un calor muy
intenso de verano. Sabemos cmo estos individuos pletricos se acaloran rpidamente y se
enferman de gravedad. Sus ataques sbitos son espantosos de observar. Todas estas dolencias
inflamatorias se acompaan con un gran aumento de la circulacin, violentos movimientos
del corazn, una agitacin cerebral y un shock con intenso temor.
Los sntomas mentales que estn siempre estrechamente relacionados con las afecciones de
Aconitum se destacan ntidamente. El paciente percibe la violencia de su enfermedad, pues
est bajo los efectos de una gran excitacin e irritacin nerviosa. El temor se dibuja sobre su
semblante y tiene una abrumadora obsesin hasta el punto de pensar principalmente que debe
morir; esto debe significar muerte que l teme. Eso se observa en su semblante. Dice:
"Doctor, todo es intil, voy a morir". Muchas veces predice, en realidad, el momento o la
hora de su muerte. Si hay un reloj en la habitacin, predice la hora de morir. Cuando vemos
este temor intenso, esta terrible ansiedad, gran inquietud, la violencia y la brusquedad de
estos ataques, tenemos tal vez un caso de envenenamiento por Aconitum o uno que necesita
Aconitum. Uno que tiene una enfermedad que recuerda al veneno de Aconitum necesita la
dosis ms pequea posible de Aconitum. Es un medicamento de accin breve y eso debe ser
recordado.
Apenas importa qu parte del cuerpo estamos considerando pero encontraremos inflamacin.
Pero haciendo caso omiso de la localizacin o regin de la inflamacin, lo que hemos
descrito es el aspecto del paciente. Son tales los sntomas que hemos establecido que Ud.,
observar primero el aspecto de la cara, los sntomas mentales, la inquietud, la intensidad.
Ahora, hay muchos sntomas mentales menores que no son tan importantes como este temor,
esta ansiedad, que sern enmascarados por estos sntomas sealados que indica el paciente.
Ha perdido todo afecto por sus amigos. No le importa qu les sucede a ellos, no tiene el
menor inters en ellos. Algunas veces puede ser un estado de indiferencia.
Lo que hemos mencionado capacitar a uno para ver sin esfuerzo que la descripcin no
pertenece a todos los medicamentos de la Materia Mdica. De hecho, pertenece solamente a
Aconitum. Cualquiera sea el remedio que Ud. compare, lo encontrar solamente en
Aconitum. Ud. encontrar algunas de las caractersticas en el texto bajo otros medicamentos,
pero aquellos que he mencionado en conjunto sern encontrados slo en Aconitum. Tome los
sntomas mentales y la intensidad es la caracterstica de cada uno de ellos. Si hay un delirio,
es un delirio intenso, con excitacin, con temor, con ansiedad. Los pacientes con delirio, con
excitacin y temor, llorarn como en un gran momento. Una gran excitacin, temor, pavor
por la muerte. Ud. se pregunta por qu est llorando. Hay toda clase de humores mezclados
tambin con el temor de Aconitum. Hay lamentaciones e irritabilidad, enojo, arrojando cosas
lejos, todo con violencia y ansiedad. Estas caractersticas que he descrito como dominantes
se encuentran entremezcladas con todos los dems sntomas.
"Gritos con dolor". Estos dolores son como cuchillo son punzantes, cortantes, como puales.
La intensidad del sufrimiento de Aconitum es entonante, as que si los nervios adquieren
dolores neurlgicos, estos son intensos. La sensacin es de que alguna cosa tremenda debe
sucederle o sino no debera tener tales sufrimientos terribles. Dice en el texto, "predice el da
de su muerte". Esto en gran medida es consecuencia de la sensacin terrible que lo abruma. Y
este aspecto mental est siempre presente, en neumona, en las enfermedades inflamatorias
de alguna parte del cuerpo, en la inflamacin de los riones, del hgado, de los intestinos, etc.
Prevalece el aturdimiento a travs del cuadro de sntomas. "Vrtigo y mareos". Una mujer va
de compras y se le cruza de pronto un perro, y se aturde violentamente, e incluso no puede
llegar a su carruaje. "El vrtigo viene del temor, de un temor sbito, y el temor del susto
persiste". Hay un remanente de este miedo pasado, pero lo guiar con ms decisin a Opium.
"Molestias por el temor". Inflamacin del cerebro por el temor; aturdimiento por el temor".
Incluso congestiones de partes como consecuencia de temor. Una confusin en todo el
entendimiento. Las cosas giran y giran.
Los dolores de cabeza vienen con tal violencia que difcilmente pueden ser descritos.
Desgarradores ardores en el cerebro, en el cuero cabelludo, acompaados con temor, con
fiebre, con angustia; cefalalgia por tomar fro, por supresin del catarro en la nariz. El catarro
se detiene sbitamente en gente pletrica, por exposicin, por librarse de la sequedad, por
cabalgar al viento fro y seco tal como el que tenemos en este clima norteo en invierno.
''Violenta cefalea sobre los ojos. Congestin del cerebro, con cefalalgia congestiva, con
ansiedad, con la faz encendida".
Los sntomas que lo llevan a dar Aconitum para afecciones de los ojos son numerosos. Los
ojos se inflaman sbitamente. Congestin del ojo. Apariencia sangunea roja del ojo.
Inflamacin brusca de todos los tejidos; conjuntivitis, etc., por tomar fro, por exponerse a
vientos secos, fros.
Hay una enseanza que ha, prevalecido desde mucho tiempo: dar Aconitum para el primer
estado de una inflamacin. No es una buena enseanza a pesar de que es recomendado en
todos nuestros libros. No se dice para qu clase de constitucin, o de cmo viene. No realice
la prctica en esta forma. Obtenga todos los elementos para un caso de Aconitum, si es
posible, o prescriba un medicamento mejor. Ha prevalecido otra prctica, a saber, dando
Aconitum para la fiebre. El Aconitum era el medicamento para la fiebre de muchos de
nuestros antiguos rutinarios, pero es una mala prctica.
El Aconitum tiene una inflamacin de los ojos que aparece tan rpidamente que uno se
asombra de cmo puede sobrevenir en tan corto tiempo. Los ojos se hinchan mucho sin
secrecin alguna o slo con un mucus muy acuoso. Las inflamaciones sbitas que vienen con
descargas espesas no pueden ser nunca de Aconitum. Aconitum no es consecuencia de
inflamacin. Esas dolencias que son como consecuencias de inflamacin indicarn siempre
algn otro medicamento. Ud. no debe pensar en Aconitum en la fiebre salvo que el paciente
de Aconitum est presente. Con la fiebre de Aconitum habr sensibilidad a la luz. "Una gran
intranquilidad con fiebre". Ojos con mirada fija con las pupilas contradas, "punzadas
violentas e inflamacin de las estructuras profundas del globo ocular".
Proporcione Aconitum solamente cuando los sntomas estn de acuerdo. Una inflamacin en
marcha de curso prolongado a supurar, o si hay mucosas que segregan pus, no indicarn
nunca sntomas de Aconitum. No proporcione jams Aconitum en envenenamiento de la
sangre, tales como encontramos en escarlatina, en la fiebre tifoidea, etc. Nada encontramos
de los sntomas violentos de Aconitum en tales dolencias. Nunca est presente la irritacin
nerviosa, sino lo opuesto, el estupor", la pereza, la piel purprea mientras que el Aconitum es
rojo brillante. Nunca dar Aconitum para cualquier forma de cimosis, pues no tiene en su
historia nada de cimosis. No debe pensarse en Aconitum en la fiebre continua, de evolucin
lenta. El Aconitum no tiene sntomas semejantes a los tipos de fiebres continuas, lentas. La
fiebre de Aconitum es generalmente un ataque breve, agudo de temperatura. No hay forma de
relacionarla a una fiebre intermitente, ya que no tiene tales sntomas. Ud. puede encontrar
algo que podra engaarlo en un ataque de fiebre intermitente, pero el hecho real de que haya
un segundo, descarta el Aconitum. Algunos medicamentos tienen la periodicidad de olas, el
Aconitum no tiene tal caracterstica. El ataque ms violento de fiebre ceder en una noche si
el remedio es el Aconitum. Si no lo es resultar lastimoso que Ud. se haya equivocado en
prescribirlo, por ello algunas veces har dao. Todos los signos que existen en una
enfermedad deben tenerse en cuenta, no solamente aquellos medicamentos que la abarcan,
pero tambin los que no lo cubren.
El Aconitum tiene inflamacin de los ojos, con ardor e hinchazn rpida; los prpados se
hinchan tan rpidamente que no pueden abrirse salvo con gran dificultad, y cuando se
obligan a abrirse, mediante pinzas, caern gotas de agua caliente, pero no pus. Esto viene
rpidamente al tomar fro. Siempre que hay inflamaciones de las superficies mucosas est
propenso a fluir agua sanguinolenta. De pronto los vasos sanguneos se ingurgitan y rezuman
as como por la ruptura de los capilares.
Se produce tambin justamente una rpida inflamacin del odo. "Dolores lancinantes,
cortantes, intensos, en los odos". El nio viene a casa despus de haber estado expuesto al
viento fro del norte, y no est suficientemente abrigado, y ahora grita y lleva su mano al
odo. El ataque se produce al anochecer, despus de haber estado afuera durante el da. Fiebre
y ansiedad; el nio debe ser transportado. El sufrimiento es intenso. Los ruidos intolerables.
La msica se transporta a travs de cada miembro, tan intensa es la sensibilidad auditiva. En
todas partes del cuerpo encontraremos la misma dolencia intensa de los nervios. Dondequiera
que hay dolores, tan intensos, violentos, y el paciente est siempre en estado de ansiedad e
irritabilidad. "Dolores punzantes, ardorosos, desgarradores, cortantes, en el odo". Para
atender una coriza con dolores violentos de cabeza, que aparece a la noche despus de haber
estado expuesto y tomado fro repentinamente durante el da, est indicado este medicamento
de accin breve, y muy rpida. La coriza de Carbo veg. aparece varios das despus de la
exposicin. El paciente de Carbo veg. se acalora y se resfra por quedarse con el abrigo,
cuando viene al consultorio. En Aconitum sale afuera al aire fro con sus ropas livianas, y
enferma, si es un individuo pletrico, antes de medianoche.
Pero a menudo est indicado en la coriza del nio rosado, gordo, pletrico. No as en los
enfermizos o plidos. Estos enfermizos se vendrn abajo ms tarde; sus actividades vitales
estn tan reducidas que sus quejas no se dejan or algunas veces hasta despus de dos o tres
das. As que si Ud. toma uno enfermizo y uno vigoroso en la misma familia y los expone a
ambos, el uno tendr crup a la noche y necesita Aconitum, y el otro lo tendr a la maana
prxima y necesita Hepar.
Los sntomas que probablemente se producirn con coriza son hemorragia nasal, cefalalgia,
ansiedad y temor. La expresin ansiosa es una de las primeras cosas observadas en el
enfermo de Aconitum. La neumona de Aconitum se mostrar a menudo en la cara. Observe
la cara; hay una gran ansiedad. Ello muestra mucho de los efectos de Aconitum. Ud. sabe que
hay mucho en la expresin de la cara que facilitar a uno a leer todo lo que sucede en el
cuerpo, ello le relata la historia; los placeres y las tristezas, y las angustias de la familia
humana, mucho de lo cual Ud. puede generalizar y apreciar de una ojeada que alguna cosa
importante ha sucedido. Ud. tiene que pensar solamente una o dos veces antes de acertar.
Aqu tiene Ud. la ansiedad.
"Una mejilla roja y la otra plida" es un buen sntoma de muchos medicamentos, pero la
expresin de ansiedad, y de temor, y de ardor, y de insomnio y la rapidez con que vienen en
un individuo pletrico -ayer fue muy seco y ventoso- y Ud. pondr en un lugar este nico
sntoma en Aconitum. Pero puede haber uno o varios otros medicamentos, donde se
presentan otras dolencias. "Dolores neurlgicos en la cara semejantes a alambres calientes
circulando a lo largo de cualquier lado de la faz". Las cabalgatas individuales en el fro, al
viento spero, y su cara estaba expuesta al viento fro. Llega a estar entumecido y se
establece el dolor intenso. El grita y chilla, debido a los dolores que cortan como si fueran
cuchillos filosos. El Aconitum lo aliviar . "Arrastrarse, comezn y hormigueo". El Aconitum
tiene esa sensacin a lo largo del curso de los nervios. Tiene una sensacin como agua helada
vertida a lo largo del curso de los nervios. Citica como cuando se vierte agua helada a lo
largo del nervio. "Como si trepara, con comezn y arrastrndose por la cara, con o sin dolor".
Hay un calor intenso, fiebre alta en la cara. El lado de la cara sobre la cual se acuesta
transpira y si el paciente se da vuelta, esa parte a su vez se seca, y la otra parte es la que se
echa a sudar.
0h, que medicamento reconfortante es para el dolor de muelas! Ha sido tan til en el dolor de
muelas que hoy da casi toda dama de edad sabe lo suficiente como para colocar una gota de
Aconitum en una pizca de algodn y ponerla en el antiguo hueco del diente. A menudo le
calmar completamente. Una dosis de Aconitum actuar mucho mejor, teniendo en cuenta la
violencia del dolor; otra vez la misma vieja historia, de la sequedad, vientos fros, individuos
pictricos, con dientes cariados intensos dolores, cortantes, en dichas piezas. Algunas veces
se encuentran estos dolores en dientes sanos y afectan a toda la fila. Dolores violentos por
una exposicin, tal como cabalgar en el viento. Los dolores se alivian y se van rpidamente
despus de una dosis de Aconitum.
Hay perturbacin en el gusto, y desrdenes gstricos. Todo tiene gusto amargo, excepto el
agua; y, como el paciente de Aconitum desea agua, parece casi imposible para l obtener
suficiente cantidad de agua que lo satisfaga.
El ardor es un sntoma que se encuentra en el medicamento, Ud. lo encontrar en la
descripcin de todos los dolores. Ardor en la cabeza, ardor a lo largo del curso de los nervios,
ardor en la espina dorsal, ardor con fiebre, algunas veces ardor como si estuviera cubierta con
pimienta.
El Aconitum es una medicina muy til en la inflamacin de la garganta, cuando hay ardor,
escozor, sequedad, gran enrojecimiento de las amgdalas, o de las fauces o de toda la
garganta. Algunas veces el paladar blando est muy hinchado. Un grado elevado de
inflamacin, de todo lo que puede ser visto y denominado garganta. Pero eso slo no
indicara Aconitum. El cura esta clase de casos, pero cada mdico homepata sabe que
cuarenta o cincuenta medicamentos podran ser seleccionados tambin como el Aconitum de
todo lo que he dicho. He mencionado solamente un caso no descrito. Ningn mdico
homepata podra prescribir basado en esta clase de evidencia. Pero observando el tipo de
garganta, cada mdico debe preguntarse as mismo; Qu hara de esa garganta un caso de
Acnito? Y en cuanto surge la pregunta, puede imaginarse otra: No podra recetar para el
caso tan bien como si no hubiera visto la garganta? Para un mdico inteligente, la garganta no
adelanta mucho como representacin del paciente.
Si fuera necesario representar en la mente del mdico el rgano mismo inflamado; cmo
podra tratar el hgado? No lo puede ver! Cmo prescribira para el estmago? No lo puede
ver! Nos vemos obligados a recurrir a lo que representa para el mdico inteligente la
verdadera naturaleza del paciente y entonces enseguida apreciaremos la razn de alguna de
estas cosas.
Si Ud. forma una imagen en su mente del paciente de Acnito, puede prescribir. Sera muy
bueno ver muchas cosas. Si Ud. pudiera ver el hgado, yo le dira, mrelo. Si Ud. pudiera ver
el corazn, yo le dira examnelo!
Qu es lo que hay en esta garganta que realmente representa al paciente? Por supuesto
cualquier dolor de la garganta hace difcil tragar. Yo considero que no hay nada en el dolor de
garganta que represente para el mdico el paciente de Aconitum. Si ese individuo fuera una
persona pletrica, si hubiera estado cabalgando en el fro, en un viento spero una buena
parte del da, y si se hubiera despertado en la noche con un ardor violento, un dolor de
garganta desgarrador y no pudiera tragar, y hubiera llegado una fiebre alta, y si tuviera sed de
agua fra y no podra obtener suficiente, l estaba en un estado febril, ansioso, Ud. tiene
entonces un paciente para prescribir. Muchas veces los pacientes llegan a ser lo
suficientemente inteligentes bajo su observacin para describir justamente de cmo acta
algn miembro de su familia. Ud. conoce a qu se parece el paciente. Algunas veces el
sirviente dar la mejor clase de descripcin, mejor que la estudiante de Vassar*, que nos
escribe: "Doctor, por favor enveme el medicamento; yo he mirado en la garganta y est
roja".
* Universidad en el estado de Nueva York, EE. UU.*
Con los sntomas gstricos, que paciente ansioso tenemos! Los dolores son espantosos.
Dolores ardientes, dolores con lgrimas, con ansiedad, con insomnio. con fiebre, que han
venido de tomar fro -no de comer demasiado, sino de tomar fro-, que se ha fijado en el
estmago, de la exposicin a un bao helado, o en un verano muy caluroso de calor intenso,
relacionado con un cerebro irritable en nios vigorosos. El vomitar, llorar y las tremendas
arcadas. El vmito de sangre roja brillante. Esto es descriptivo de inconvenientes generales
del estmago. Durante este estado febril el paciente desea cosas amargas, vino y cerveza, y
brandy, pero los devolver tan pronto lleguen al estmago. Desea cosas picantes, nada le
parece suficientemente amargo. "Si l pudiera solamente obtendra cosas amargas". Y todava
sus comidas tienen gusto amargo, cada cosa que come sabe amargo, cada cosa excepto el
agua.
En el texto hay una expresin clnica: "catarro gstrico". Hay una inflamacin aguda del
estmago. Nuseas, vmitos de bilis, de sangre. Urgencia inefectiva de vomitar cuando no
hay nada en el estmago. Con ello habr ansiedad, inquietud, temor de muerte. El temor
reflejado sobre el semblante le da una expresin terrible.
El Aconitum es una medicina til en la inflamacin del hgado, cuando aparece sbitamente.
No es muy til en ataques repetidos excepto en el primer ataque. La violenta inflamacin del
hgado, con dolores desgarradores y mucho ardor. Entonces viene la inquietud, las terribles
torturas de la ansiedad, constante movimiento, temor a morir, cara roja, ojos vidriosos, sed
intensa. "La inquietud ansiosa acompaa de cerca a todas estas cosas".
Hay en el abdomen dolores, ardores, punzadas, despus de una exposicin al fro llegando a
resfriarse. Queremos llegar pronto al hecho que poco importa dnde se produce el desorden;
debemos tener el paciente de Aconitum. Tenemos tambin inconvenientes inflamatorios de
todas las vsceras del abdomen. Puede ser una violenta inflamacin catarral. Puede ser una
dolencia catarral de la porcin inferior del colon, o una dolencia catarral del recto, cuando
haya una disentera. En la disentera se depone sangre casi sangre pura, y una secrecin
viscosa. Vmito de poca sangre y expulsin rectal de mucus sanguinolento. Siempre ellos
predecirn que morirn esa noche o en unas pocas horas. Parecen darse cuenta de la
sensacin de muerte. Todo el cuerpo est en la sensacin de angustia pero el tenesmo y el
entumecimiento, la urgencia de defecar es simplemente terrible. Hay una diarrea acuosa, pero
no es un sntoma importante, aunque est doblemente remarcado por Hering. Pero cuando ha
pasado la sangre oscura y mucus, con tenesmo, o cuando una pequea cantidad de mucus
verde ha pasado en los infantes con inconvenientes veraniegos, fluye repentinamente sangre
pura o descargas de pasto verde con fiebre, en pequeas fibras rosadas, brillantes, piense en
Aconitum. La mayora de los inconvenientes intestinales en los nios vienen de un calor
intenso. El infante adquiere una inflamacin del hgado por el calor, y las heces se hacen
blancas como leche y de consistencia pastosa. El nio se pone amarillo y grita con dolor.
Es til en inconvenientes urinarios, de la vejiga y de los riones. Enfermedades

inflamatorias, y orina sanguinolenta. Orina escasa, supresin de orina, u orina retenida.
Retencin o Shock. Esta retencin por shock lo hacen uno de nuestros mejores remedios para
la retencin en los recin nacidos. El infante recin nacido, o mejor dicho el infante recin
llegado al mundo ha padecido un shock. En su prxima visita la enfermera dice, "el nio no
ha orinado". Las funciones de ese pequeo no estn todava establecidas, a causa del gran
shock por el que ha pasado. La inflamacin de la vejiga con dolores cortantes, desgarradores.
Dolores ardientes o ardorosos con orina en iguales condiciones. La orina es caliente, oscura,
coloreada de rojo; roja y clara, o sanguinolenta. Retencin por el fro, especialmente en
nios, con llanto e inquietud. Con enfermedades inflamatorias de la vejiga tanto en adultos
como en infantes, estarn todas las condiciones mentales representando al paciente de
Aconitum.
El Aconitum cura los ms violentos casos de orquitis, que vienen de repente. Orquitis por
enfriamiento, en hombres pletricos. Pero en la orquitis comn por supresin de las
descargas gonorreicas no es til.
La mujer es una paciente de Aconitum natural con su sensibilidad. Usualmente se queja por
shock nervioso, por temor, y sus quejas se originan y sufre por causas diferentes de aquellas
por las cuales la enfermedad se origina en el hombre. Es muy raro que el temor d lugar a
una inflamacin en el hombre, pero el temor es una causa comn de inflamacin del tero, y
de los ovarios en mujeres excitables, vigorosas, pletricas. El temor es a menudo causa de
aborto, pero cuando se proporciona Aconitum a tiempo reprimir el aborto que viene del
temor. Tendremos los dolores de Aconitum, punzantes, ardientes, desgarradores seguidos
algunas veces al temor o a la emocin sbita. Algunas veces una mujer encinta dir : "Doctor,
es intil que haga planes para mi parto. Yo s que voy a morir en l". Si es que en realidad
hay un sntoma fuerte para prescribirlo es justamente este. Una dosis de Aconitum, y
entonces cambia el asunto, la paciente sigue adelante y en pocos das Ud. le pregunta sobre
ese miedo y ella dice: "oh no haga caso de eso". Muchas pequeas cosas como stas pueden
observarse. Pero ese estado de temor es muy peculiar, y representar la naturaleza y el ser
total de la mujer. Ella predice el da de su muerte. La razn por la cual el Aconitum es tan a
menudo el remedio de los nios es porque el infante se enferma con frecuencia de susto.
"Inflamacin de los rganos genitales en la mujer pletrica". El Aconitum es indicado ms

frecuentemente en las mujeres y los nios que en el hombre. Mujeres sensitivas, vigorosas,
excitables. Es indicado en los hombres en los casos de dolencias inflamatorias que provienen
de fros secos, aire fro y es notable de como Ud. puede convencer a un paciente que necesita
Aconitum, qu cosas maravillas hay en Homeopata mostrndole cun rpidamente Ud.
puede hacerlo transpirar y cortarle una fiebre aguda con Aconitum cuando se trata de un
ataque reciente, y nico.
"Despus de un parto difcil y fastidioso Dolores previos violentos. Punzantes, dolores

previos desgarradores, con accesos febriles". Hay hemorragia uterina con sangre roja
brillante y temor a morir. Es maravilloso lo que el Aconitum podr hacer en algunos casos
que se originan de tomar fro en el puerperio, pero no confunda eso con fiebre puerperal. El
primero es una forma simple, no sptica tal vez con el pecho involucrado, con dolores en
senos, supresin de la leche y fiebre; pero si hay una supresin de los loquios no dar
Aconitum.
En los casos de nios recin nacidos con dificultad para respirar, despus del uso del forceps,
o de un parto difcil; el nio est sofocado, hay dificultad con el corazn y en pocas horas
viene la fiebre. En este caso el Aconitum es un medicamento muy sencillo. En el nio la
retencin de orina es tan comnmente una dolencia de Aconitum que Ud. difcilmente
necesitar nunca usar cualquier otra medicina. El pequeo no puede hablar todava, no puede
manifestarse mucho, y en cierta medida, el prctico se ve compelido a usar cierta rutina en
estos casos, y los prcticos rutinarios han tenido mayor o menor xito con el Aconitum para
la retencin de orina. Por otra parte, es verdad que en muchos casos de retencin de orina en
la madre, desaparecer despus de una dosis de Causticum. El Aconitum es un gran remedio
de rutina en el crup, del cual se ha abusado; pero est indicado en todos aquellos casos de
crup que llega sbitamente en nios pletricos, por exposicin a la sequedad, y vientos fros,
habiendo estado fuera con la madre en el viento fro durante el da. El nio es colocado en la
cama y se despierta del primer sueo, tal vez a las 9 10 a las 11 horas, se agarra la
garganta, tose violentamente, con una tos ahogada, como un ladrido ronco. Difcilmente
cualquier otro medicamento puede corresponder tan rpidamente en su accin, al tomar fro
durante el da y desarrollarse tan de repente. La tos ferina que viene de la exposicin hoy, y
no se desarrolla hasta maana por la maana o por la tarde, puede corresponder bastante bien
a una cantidad de otros medicamentos, pero especialmente a Hepar, que es ms suave en su
accin. Es ms conveniente en nios algo debilitados y sujetos a frecuentes ataques de tos
ferina. El medicamento Spongia es tambin similar pero carece de muchos de los elementos
ms semejantes que se presentan en nios dbiles, aquellos que siempre se resfran. Sera
materia difcil distinguir entre la apariencia de la tos ferina del Aconitum y de Spongia tan
lejos como concierna a la tos ferina, porque ambos tienen todo el aspecto de ansiedad
encontrado en el crup. El crup de Aconitum, es violento con inflamacin de la laringe, y al
mismo tiempo con espasmos del mismo rgano que aparecen con gran rapidez. La tos ferina
de Spongia es menos inflamatoria, ya que la inflamacin aumenta con los espasmos; pero
mientras que Spongia puede despertarse; a las 11 de la noche, sofocado y ahogndose, no
tiene la excitacin febril propia de Aconitum, ni la angustia, sin embargo tiene toda la
sequedad que se encuentra en Aconitum. Las enfermedades de Aconitum son usualmente
secas, o hay solamente una pequea secrecin acuosa. Espongia es enteramente seca; si hay
una mucosa inflamada, est seca. Tenemos en el crup sntomas de Aconitum: laringe sensible
al tacto. "Crup, despertndose en el primer sueo, despus de la exposicin a los vientos fros
y secos".
El Aconitum es pleno de disturbios respiratorios, disnea por contraccin de los bronquios

menores, que encontramos semejantes al asma. Se indica en esa disnea que pertenece a la
bronquitis capilar, en esa disnea que pertenece a excitacin cardiaca en personas pletricas,
por tomar fro, o debido a shock, por estar expuestos a traumatismo. La disnea por miedo, tal
como sucede en mujeres nerviosas, excitables, fcilmente afectables, nerviosas, mujeres
pletricas. La respiracin corta, trabajosa, ansiosa, rpida. Es una disnea asmtica y hay
usualmente sequedad de las mucosas de los bronquiolos.
"Se sienta derecho y puede respirar con dificultad". El Aconitum tiene tal irritacin cardiaca
violenta, pulso fluctuante, dbil, lleno e irregular; se sienta en la cama, spera la garganta
quiere arrojar todas las cosas; antes de medianoche, la piel ardiente, mucha sed, mucho
temor, todos los sntomas estn relacionados.
"Angustia con disnea. Ataques sbitos de dolor en el corazn, con disnea". Todo va junto.
"Sofocacin grande. De este temor y de la ansiedad interrumpe con un sudor profuso; est
empapado con sudor y sin embargo su piel est caliente. Cuando esta ansiedad pasa el
paciente llega a estar ardiente. As hay calor y sudor con esta angustiosa ansiedad. El pulso
filiforme.
"Est mejor durante la espiracin". El espasmo de la laringe se presenta a menudo durante la

inspiracin, "Peor durante la inspiracin. Tos seca constante entrecortada. Dificultad para
respirar. Respira solamente con el diafragma. Trastornos en el pecho tales como neumona".
El Aconitum produce una inflamacin rpida de las vsceras del pecho, de las pleuras, de los
pulmones, de las mucosas que revisten los conductos areos. Tenemos esta disnea en la
neumona, con la cual viene de repente. Si se extiende rpidamente puede ir a una neumona.
La inflamacin es tan elevada que la mucosa exuda sangre, roja cereza, o el mucus que se
expulsa es blanco y surcado de estras de sangre roja brillante. Ud. va al costado del lecho de
bronconeumona y encontrar en el servicio mucus surcado con sangre roja brillante. Ahora;
tenga en cuenta la violencia con la cual llega la inquietud y ansiedad del individuo l que
predice la hora de su muerte que ser el caso del paciente de Aconitum. En el caso de la
neumona donde el pulmn se encuentra involucrado, la mitad superior del pulmn izquierdo
el Aconitum est indicado. Algunas veces toda la mucosa, la garganta visible, la laringe, la
trquea, los bronquios, exudarn sangre, algunas veces la boca se llena de sangre, tan
violenta es la inflamacin. En estos trastornos de trax hay mucho dolor. Tan punzante,
ardiente y desgarrante que el paciente est obligado a permanecer en una posicin un tanto
elevada sobre la espalda. No puede acostarse sobre los lados, sino sobre la espalda. Acostarse
sobre el flanco aumenta el dolor. Los vientos secos, fros. Shocks sbitos en personas de una
circulacin fuerte, vigorosa, buena. La hemoptisis de la cual se habla no es como la que
sucede en la tisis, sino que es involuntaria; la sangre llega con una tos leve. Algunos pueden
engaarse y prescribirlo en casos de constituciones de pacientes enfermizos; pero no debe ser
administrado en ellos. Tenemos medicamentos mucho mejores. El paciente no llega siempre
a presentar neumona, sino que slo habr una inflamacin de los conductos areos
pequeos.
"Tos seca, vmitos y arcadas, fiebre intensa, escupir sangre". No hay expectoracin, excepto
un mucus poco acuoso y sangre. Esto sucede en esta forma en buena proporcin. Tos seca,
sensacin de sequedad de todo el trax, en la laringe y en la garganta. Bebe agua fra en
grandes cantidades, y de tanto en tanto, despus de una tos violenta expulsa una pequea
cantidad de sangre, pero la expectoracin es generalmente mucus.
La neumona es acompaada generalmente de una expectoracin que se asemeja a xido de

hierro, como si el xido pudiera estar mezclado en ello. Tales medicamentos como Bryonia y
Rhus tos. y unos pocos ms tienen esa expectoracin como una caracterstica comn, natural
de los remedios mismos, pero Aconitum es la de cereza roja, brillante. Sus hemorragias son
rojo brillantes y algunas veces copiosas.
Todas estas toses de neumona, en tos ferina y trastornos torcicos vienen sbitamente, y si el
paciente va a dormir y tendr un espasmo en la laringe, con sequedad en la misma, se
despierta y se toma la garganta; piensa que se va a ahogar. Todo esto viene de vientos fros.
Personas vigorosas toman un viento y fro y se resfran, lo que traer sntomas de Aconitum.
El Aconitum da en todas las partes inflamadas una sensacin como si un vapor caliente
penetrase en ellas, como si afluyera sangre caliente, o "flujo de calor en las partes". A lo largo
de los nervios hay una sensacin de calor, o de fro.
En las formas de fiebres ms elevadas el pulso es pleno y saltn; pulso fuerte y vigoroso.
Cuando viene primero el ataque y la tremenda ansiedad y tensin nerviosa estn presentes, el
pulso es muy pequeo, pero despus que se establece bien la accin del corazn, entonces el
pulso llega a ser ms fuerte.
"Dolores desgarradores bajos en la mdula. El cuello tieso lleno de dolor. Picazn en la

espina como insectos". Esta es la caracterstica peculiar, esta sensacin hormigueante; viene
del fro, de estar sbitamente resfriado.
"Temblor de las manos" relacionado con estos ataques sbitos. "Dolores de hormigueo en los
dedos" relacionados con estos ataques inflamatorios agudos. "Fro como el hielo. Pies fros
como hielo. Palmas calientes". Las manos calientes y los pies fros se encuentran algunas
veces presentes. Enfermedades reumticas de las articulaciones. Aquellas que se presentan
como un primer ataque. No est indicado en los ataques reumticos y de gota, de aquellas
que vienen como un reumatismo agudo, de una exposicin sbita al fro, de largas cabalgatas
al viento seco, fro. Ellas se presentan tambin con fiebre, con inquietud ansiosa, con un
estado mental crtico descrito tan a menudo.
"Convulsiones de los msculos, temblores, punzadas". Pero los nervios se encuentran llenos
de sntomas y de sufrimientos de Aconitum. El Aconitum es un medicamento maravilloso
para neuritis en personas pletricas. A lo largo del curso de los nervios hay adormecimiento
por el fro, por la exposicin. As mismo hay adormecimiento y convulsiones a lo largo de los
cursos de los nervios especialmente aquellos que corren cerca de la superficie". Hay
inflamacin de las vainas de los nervios. Excitabilidad nerviosa. "excesiva inquietud".
El Sulphur tiene una estrecha relacin con el Aconitum. Tiene muchos sntomas de
Aconitum. En muchos de los casos crnicos antiguos donde el Sulphur debera ser usado en
constituciones vigorosas, fuertes, el Aconitum resulta conveniente para un ataque repentino,
y el Sulphur para el crnico. En ataques sbitos en que es adecuado el Aconitum, como es el
ataque total, hay una tendencia en esa constitucin a retornar a un ataque semejante. El
Aconitum no tiene efecto o poder sobre esta tendencia, pero Sulphur s. Por supuesto, la
mayora de los sntomas deben estar de acuerdo pero les parecer a Uds. frecuentemente que
donde el Aconitum ha sido conveniente en la enfermedad aguda en que seguirn los sntomas
de Sulphur y muchas veces un ataque muy violento deja una debilidad en la constitucin que
el Aconitum no tiene poder para defender. No tiene poder para preservar de ataques de
recidiva. Eso es todo lo que es capaz de hacer, y ese es el fin de ello. Pero no es as con
Sulphur.
Despus de Aconitum sigue bien Arnica y Belladona. Algunas veces le parecer a Uds. que el
Aconitum es capaz de rivalizar con todo lo que se encuentra en la enfermedad. Pero parece
ser algo tardo que persiste, y tales medicamentos como Arn. y Bell., y Yp. y Bry., deben
emplearse para terminar el ataque o algunas veces Sulphur. Muy comnmente Silicea. As
que nosotros tenemos que estudiar las relaciones de los medicamentos.
Si Ud. ha administrado Aconitum en demasiadas dosis, o lo ha dado muy fuerte y su paciente

tarda en recobrarse del ataque, o su paciente ha tomado Aconitum por si mismo
imprudentemente, entonces Coffea o Nux pondr a menudo al paciente en una condicin
mejor.
Aconitum (Paschero)
Los sntomas estallan de noche. El enfermo se despierta bruscamente cerca de la medianoche

con agitacin, temor y sensacin profunda de fro.
El menor movimiento exacerba los escalofros que ascienden de pies a cabeza. La cara est
intensamente roja y caliente, la piel seca y la facies ansiosa. Posteriormente la temperatura
asciende, se acenta la inquietud y el miedo, aparece sed intensa, la piel es roja y quemante,
la cara empalidece cuando se sienta, el enfermo tose aunque no tenga localizacin
respiratoria, tiene los ojos brillantes y azorados, las pupilas en miosis y el pulso taquicrdico,
lleno, duro y tenso.
Es una verdadera tormenta arterionerviosa, con brusco eretismo circulatorio y psquico que
pasa en 24-48 horas para dejar instalado un cuadro de defensa en forma de transpiracin
profusa, exudacin serosa, inflamacin de mucosas o localizacin orgnica. Aconitum acorta
este perodo y puede frustrar un proceso infeccioso. Su indicacin cesa en cuanto aparece
transpiracin o exudado. Es remedio funcional de accin brusca y perentoria.
Su cuadro puede hallarse en el perodo invasor de una enfermedad aguda, en el curso de un

estado febril, cuando aparece bruscamente opresin ansiosa precordial y en los casos de
alteraciones nerviosas a consecuencia de sustos (temblores, vrtigo, amenorrea, amenaza de
aborto) como as tambin en los casos crnicos mentales con miedo a la muerte o temor de
cruzar una calle (agorafobia).
El factor causa ms importante es el fro, fro seco, viento fro o por enfriarse estando
transpirado.
Sus dolores son intolerables. Pueden o no coexistir con la fiebre pero siempre con gran
agitacin y temor a la muerte, Son agudos, desgarrantes, acompaados de hormigueos y
adormecimientos. Como Chamomilla que es irascible, colrico; o Coffea que es desesperado,
hiperestsico, Aconitum, miedoso y agitado, cree que no podr soportar ms los dolores.
La tos de Aconitum es seca, breve, sibilante, aparece antes de medianoche acompaada de

opresin de pecho. Es crupal, ronca, violenta, sofocante, el nio lleva la mano a la garganta
para librarse de la sofocacin. Reproduce el cuadro de la laringitis estridulosa o del crup
diftrico.
Forma con Spongia, en quien la sofocacin se instala lentamente con tos semejante al ruido
de una sierra que est serrando una plancha de madera y con Hepar sulphur, que se
caracteriza por gran catarro traqueal que no puede expulsar, el tro de la tos estridulosa o
perruna. En Aconitum, sta aparece brusca y rpidamente.
Despus de un susto o temor, el cuadro de Aconitum puede tomar la forma de angina de

pecho. Con Latrodectus mactans, que reproduce la tpica angina de pecho con dolor ansioso
precordial, irradiacin al brazo y mano izquierda, adormecimiento y apnea, Aconitum, junto a
Spigelia, Arsenicum y Arnica integra el grupo de los principales medicamentos de esta
afeccin.
Las dosis estn reguladas por la jerarqua del cuadro. Sensorial-psquico (temor de salir, de
cruzar la calle, miedo a la muerte, consecuencia de susto): dinamizaciones altas. Funcional:
medianas. Orgnicas (aortitis, lesiones de corazn, etc.): bajas.
ACONITUM NAPELLUS (Farrington)
Aconitum napellus es el napelo; la palabra Aconitum significa "sinpolvo". La planta se ha

llamado as por el hecho de que crece sobre las rocas ridas en las que a penas si hay
suficiente tierra que cubra sus races. Esto demuestra el vigor de la planta. Se ha llamado
napelo, porque la forma de sus flores dobladas dan la apariencia de un capuchn sobre la
cabeza.
Aconitum napellus contiene un principio activo llamado Aconitina, encontrdose con ms

abundancia en las races. Tiene algunos otros principios activos de composicin desconocida
y difciles de aislar. De hecho, el Aconitum comercial prcticamente tiene algunas otras
substancias. Las propiedades activas de Aconitum se encuentran en proporciones diferentes
en muchos de los miembros de este rden de plantas. Uno de ellos es el Acido acnitico
combinado con el calcio. He odo decir que los habitantes de Persia secan las cabezas del
Aconitum ferox y las comen impunemente. No me atrevo a decir cmo puede ser verdad esto,
aunque es sabido que esta especie de Aconitum, contiene pseudo-aconitina, que es menos
txica que la verdadera aconitina. Tambin se afirma (y de esto no me hago responsable) que
en algunas partes de Suiza el Aconitum crece en hileras a lo largo de las calles y que sus
cabezas se emplean como verduras. Quiz esto demuestre el hecho de que la planta altera sus
propiedades por la aclimatacin.
Cuando es tomado en dosis txicas, se revela Aconitum como un deprimente del sistema
cerebroespinal. Produce una sensacin de adormecimiento acompaada de aguijoneo y
hormigueo en las extremidades, pudiendo llegar hasta la completa anestesia. Tambin afecta
el sistema circulatorio. Despus de la primera sensacin que se experimenta de moderado
calor difuso, sigue un intenso calor interno con abundante sudor caliente. Otras veces la piel
llega a cubrirse de erupcin miliar que produce mucha comezn. Secundariamente la
superficie del cuerpo se vuelve fra, con sudor fro y viscoso; el pulso se vuelve dbil y la
muerte se presenta.
Aconitum en un principio no afecta la esfera intelectual y la emotiva. En su accin sobre los

nervios, en este caso difiere de Cocculus indicus que trastorna rpidamente la consciencia.
Esta droga produce en efecto, una parlisis motriz completa y no sensitiva. Difiere tambin
de Gelsemium, Conium y Nux vm. que muy pronto afectan la actividad motriz ms bien que
la sensitiva. En la que se refiere a los sntomas de colapso, se parece a Camphora y a
Veratrum album; pero solamente Veratrum album tiene diarrea y vmitos caractersticos, con
sudor fro sobre la frente. Aconitum y Nux vm., producen convulsiones tetnicas, pero en
Aconitum son solamente parciales y acompaadas de gran debilidad muscular.
Aconitum produce dos series diferentes de sntomas, completamente distintos por su caracter
y tan bien separados, como si el medicamento se compusiera de dos substancias y cada una
desarrollara sus propios sntomas. El segundo grupo de sntomas que es el ms generalmente
conocido, es la tendencia de Aconitum a producir fiebres e inflamacin; esto lo produce por
su accin sobre el sistema nervioso simptico. Lo encontramos indicado en las fiebres
genuinamente inflamatorias del tipo llamado sinocal o estnico. Estos trminos se aplican a
las fiebres que no tienen caracter debilitante o astnico. Los sntomas de las fiebres que no
tienen caracter debilitante o astnico. Los sntomas de las fiebres que reclaman el uso de
Aconitum, son los siguientes : piel generalmente caliente y seca; pulso duro, lleno y
rebotante; la fiebre va siempre acompaada de ansiedad. Hahnemann nos ha dicho que los
sntomas mentales y locales son el verdadero gua que nos conduce a la eleccin de
Aconitum. No puede ser el medicamento adecuado si no est presente la ansiedad, la
agitacin, inquietud y temor a la muerte. El sudor que sigue a la fiebre es generalmente
crtico y produce mejora de todos los sntomas; es abundante, tibio y aun caliente. Est
demostrado que Aconitum no produce ninguna alteracin en la calidad de la sangre; de aqu
que no se pueda esperar que est indicado en cualquier tipo de fiebre en que hay toxinas en la
sangre, alterando este fluido, modificando los glbulos rojos o en cualquier forma cambiando
su calidad. El tipo de la fiebre que produce Aconitum, es estnico y contnuo y no
intermitente o remitente. No tiene ningn sntoma en su patogenesia que lo indique en estos
casos. Comienza con estremecimiento o escalofro, produce luego calor seco y contina hasta
el sudor que trae mejora; cuando ha terminado la fiebre, ha terminado tambin el terreno de
accin de Aconitum. Este no reproduce la repeticin tpica de los accesos febriles. De aqu
que no pueda prescribirse Aconitum en la fiebre intermitente.
Es necesario grabar en la mente que algunas veces la fiebre no es la enfermedad misma, sino
un sntoma necesario al desarrollo completo de la enfermedad. No se pretender quitar esta
calentura con la administracin de Acnitum, pues en este caso combatiramos un slo
sntoma de una enfermedad dada. De aqu que cuando la fiebre no es ms que un sntoma,
Acnitum no debe ser dado para quitarla. Tomemos por ejemplo la escarlatina : la fiebre
puede ser muy elevada, la piel puede estar caliente y seca, el pulso duro. Acnitum parece
estar indicado, sin embargo se llegar al conocimiento por otros sntomas, dolor de espalda,
vmitos, dolor de garganta, la existencia de otros casos de la misma enfermedad entre los
vecinos, de que se trata de un caso de escarlatina. Sabemos que suprimiendo la temperatura,
eliminamos un sntoma necesario para el desarrollo de la erupcin caracterstica de la
enfermedad. Por lo tanto, raramente debe pensarse en Aconitum para la escarlatina. Puede
haber casos excepcionales en que la temperatura revista un carcter desproporcionalmente
grave y en que los sntomas mentales caractersticos estn presentes, pudindose entonces
hacer uso de Aconitum; pero en nueve casos de diez, ser perjudicial su administracin.
Otra falta ms se comete cuando se administra Aconitum en los tipos tifoideos de fiebre para
disminuir el pulso y hacer bajar la temperatura. Aconitum no tiene relacin de ninguna
especie con la fiebre tifoidea. Es dado por la costumbre de administrarlo en la fiebre y no por
un conocinuento patolgico Me permito suplicarles no adherirse a esta prctica, que solo
conducir a la alternacin.
En las fiebres traumticas o inflamatorias, Aconitum debe ceder su sitio a otros

medicamentos, a menos que estn presentes la inquietud y la ansiedad. Uno de estos
remedios es Bryonia, que tambin produce pulso lleno y duro, aumentando la accin del
corazn; piel seca y agravacin de sus sntomas por el movimiento. El paciente yace
perfectamente tranquilo. para nada agitado.
Es de importancia establecer distinciones entre Aconitum, Gelsemium y Apis en los estados
febriles. Dar pues en detalle los sntomas y las condiciones que nos conduzcan a la eleccin
de uno u otro de estos medicamentos. Si repito lo que ya he dicho, esta repeticin servir
para gravar en la mente. la distincin entre dichas drogas.
Aconitum caracteriza la fiebre sinoca : Gelsemium la fiebre remitente o intermitente y Apis la

intermitente y tifoidea. Aconitum produce escalofo marcado, seguido de piel caliente y seca;
pulso duro, lleno y rebotante; ms tarde sobreviene un sudor caliente, profuso, crtico, que
produce alivio. Apis produce escalofro seguido de calor quemante en todo el cuerpo o calor
en algunas regiones y frialdad en otras. Este calor se siente con particularidad en el abdomen.
La piel est caliente y seca o alternativamente seca y hmeda; hay ausencia de sudor o
sobreviene por accesos. secndose rpidamente. Gelsemium produce escalofro parcial, que
comienza por las manos, se propaga descendiendo y ascendiendo a lo largo de la columna
vertebral, seguido de un calor general ms acentuado en la cabeza y la cara. El sudor es
gradual y moderado, pero produce siempre mejora.
Bajo la accin de Aconitum, el pulso es como ya se ha mencionado, lleno, duro y rebotante.

En Gelsemium es lleno, pero no duro; por eso se llama "pulso de martillo de agua". Bajo la
accin de Apis es acelerado, lleno y fuerte; o desigual, filiforme y frecuente. Aconitum
presupone que la sangre no est alterada cualitativamente. Gelsemium admite cualquier
cambio que puede favorecer la depresin. Apis se adapta a la toxemia, de tipo tifoideo.
Por consiguiente, Aconitum est indicado solamente cuando la fiebre es estnica. tal como la
que proviene de la exposicin a los vientos fros y secos, despus de un calor excesivo : por
enfriarse repentinamente cuando se est caliente y sudando, etc. En la fiebre biliosa est
indicado durante las primeras etapas, cuando la calentura es estnica, especialmente porque
obra sobre el hgado. Tambin es el medicamento en la fiebre inflamatoria, sea traumtica o
no, cuando concuerda el tipo; es particularmente aplicable en la pltora, en las personas
robustas que con facilidad sufren repentinas congestiones activas. No tiene relacin con la
fiebre de tipo intermitente y cuando se aplica en este tipo de fiebre, obra solamente por el
predominio de su accin sobre el corazn y nunca curativamente; de aqu su no indicacin
homeoptica. No tiene relacin alguna con la fiebre tifoidea.
Gelsemium es el medicamento adecuado cuando la fiebre se desarolla en circustancias que

favorecen una paresia de los nervios motores de los msculos, ya sean de fibra lisa o estriada.
Corresponde a ese estado en el que los vasos sanguneos estn dilatados y llenos, pero
carecen de firmeza y resistencia caracterstica en la inflamacin estnica desarrollada. Tal
forma de fiebre, va acompaada de languidez, debilidad muscular, deseo de absoluto
descanso y somnolencia; en estas condiciones, la congestin puede aun ser arterial, como en
Aconitum, pero exhibe una pasividad que le es suficientemente caracterstica; el pulso es
lleno, pero no duro, por eso Gelsemium puede estar indicado en las fiebres de orgen bilioso,
cuando el hgado sufre una congestin pasiva. Se aplica tambin a las formas tifoideas. pero
nunca despus que la languidez y somnolencia que corresponden a la relajacin y congestin
pasiva del cerebro, llegando a una gran postracin y estupor.
Apis tiene una semejanza aparente con la fiebre estnica de Aconitum en la piel seca, pulso
duro, etc., y especialmente en el principio de las afecciones erisipelatosas y ms an en la
inflamacin de las membranas serosas y sinoviales. Pero la tendencia de Apis es al tipo
tifoideo o los derrames, no sucediendo esto jams en Aconitum. De esta manera Aconitum
puede aplicarse a la fiebre que acompaa en un principio a la meningitis, a la pleuritis o la
sinovitis; pero su poder cesa cuando, el grito enceflico, la disnea y la metitz a la percusin,
o el estado inflamatorio y pastoso alrededor de una inflamacin, anuncian la aparicin del
derrame.
En su forma intermitente de fiebre. Apis no ofrece ningn parecido con Aconitum o

Gelsemium. An en el tipo reumatismal, en el que Aconitum y Apis parezcan estar indicados,
la semejanza es solamente superficial, puesto que Apis, o desarrolla una inflamacin
erisipelatosa o produce ardores aguijoneantes. picantes y exquisita sensibilidad, todo
referible a los vasos sanguneos. En los tipos ms deprimidos, Apis abandona a Aconitum y
sobrepasa completamente a Gelsemium. Est indicado en la escarlatina genuina, en la difteria
y en la fiebre tifoidea. Hay tendencia a la desfibrinacin de la sangre y en fin, a la
desorganizacin de los lquidos. En tales casos, la agitacin ansiosa de Aconitum y la
irritabilidad y somnolencia de Gelsemium, son reemplazados por una inquietud agitada y por
la estupefaccin. La excitacin y delirio de Aconitum y la semiinconsciente murmuracin de
Gelsemium, se tornan en delirio musitante e inconsciencia. Arreglando los sntomas
respectivos de acuerdo con los requisitos del Organn, tenemos a cada remedio caracterizado
como sigue : Aconitum, angustia, desesperacin, inquietud durante el perodo febril, temor a
la muerte; se desabriga; el pulso es duro, lleno y rebotante; la piel caliente y seca. Todos los
sntomas terminan por. un sudor copiosos. Gelsemium : irritabilidad y sensibilidad; los nios
tiene insomnio, estn nerviosos, an amenazan tener convulsiones; asoporamiento; prpados
pesados; parecen como beodos; deseo de parmanecer completamente quietos. El escalofro
sube y baja a lo largo del dorso, seguido de fiebre, con aumento de somnolencia; el pulso es
lleno. El sudor es moderado y gradual, pero produce mejora. Apis, produce inquietud
agitada; deseo de dormir, pero est tan nervioso, que no puede conseguirlo; delirio tranquilo,
musitante; estado soporoso. El escalofro comienza en las rodillas o en el abdomen a las tres
de la tarde; calor con piel seca o en ocasiones accesos pasajeros de transpiracin; deseo de
desabrigarse; gran opresin de pecho; piel caliente en algunas regiones y en otras fra; pulso
acelerado y fuerte o cuando el debilitamiento aparece, es dbil y frecuente, intermitente o
imperceptible. (Filiforme).
Belladonna es considerado como otro remedio concordante de Aconitum. Esta droga, como
lo veremos ms adelante, no obra primitivamente sobre los nervios vaso-motores o los
ganglios del simptico; de aqu que no controle el calibre de los vasos sanguneos. Obra
primitivamente sobre el sistema nervioso cerebroespinal y por lo tanto lo encontraremos
indicado en las fiebres que comienzan por sntomas cerebrales o medulares. Nos lo
encontramos indicado en la fiebre que comienza con el tipo de Aconitum, pero que por
extensin ha invadido el cerebro; de este modo, frecuentemente Belladonna sigue bien a
Aconitum. Debemos recordar que Belladonna requiere la presencia de sntomas cerebrales,
tales como estremecimiento durante el sueo, cefalalgia pulstil, cabeza caliente y cuerpo y
extremidades fras.
Veratrum viride reemplaza a Aconitum en la fiebre que marca el principio de la pneumona,

cuando hay gran excitacin arterial y congestin revelada por el pulso lleno y rpido,
respiracin trabajosa y difcil y ms tarde, nusea al enderezarse, desmayo, pulso lento y
frialdad.
Cuando la fiebre sinoca no cede con Aconitum, entonces el mejor remedio es Sulphur; los
sntomas que nos conducirn a su eleccin son los siguientes : a pesar de la administracin de
Aconitum persiste el calor seco, an cuando el sudor no aparezca o si hay algo es
simplemente transitorio; el enfermo al principio insomne y agitado, se vuelve somnoliento y
responde con lentitud a las preguntas que se le hacen o deja psar un intervalo entre la
pregunta y la respuesta, como si no hubiera comprendido lo que se le interroga. La lengua es
seca y la palabra embarazosa. El enfermo da la impresin de haber cado en un estado
tifdico debido al agotamiento continuo producido por la calentura.
Ferrum phosphoricum, del que ya he hablado en ms de una ocasin, debe ser diferenciado
de Aconitum; obra sobre los vasos sanguneos produciendo una especie de estado semi-
partico en el que estos se dilatan, como sucede en el segundo perodo de la inflamacin. El
pulso es lleno y ms bien suave, no duro y tenso como en Aconitum; est indicado en las
congestiones de cualquier parte del cuerpo, cuando el escurrimiento de esta parte est
mezclado con sangre; esto puede aplicarse a la disentera, a la hemoptsis y a la neumona
secundaria.
Arsenicum album como aconitum, produce intensa fiebre con ansiedad, inquietud y temor a
la muerte; pero la fiebre e inflamacin de Arsenicum son de tal naturaleza, que siguen a una
afeccin local intensa; a una inflamacin que progresa hasta la destruccin de la parte
afectada; a la fiebre de tipo tifdico con evacuaciones ptridas, etc.
Aconitum puede ser usado en las afecciones inflamatorias del cerebro; debemos por lo tanto
distinguir entre una inflamacin cerebral idioptica y la que es consecutiva a una afeccin
profunda. Aconitum puede tener bien poca influencia sobre la meningitis tuberculosa. Pero en
la meningitis o en el congestin cerebral, que sobreviene por haber sido expuesta la cabeza a
los rayos directos del sol, especialmente durante el sueo, Aconitum ser el remedio, siendo
en esto superior a Glonoinum y Belladonna, debindo preferrseles en cambio, en la
insolacin en condiciones ordinarias. Aconitum puede estar indicado ms adelante en la
insolacin, cuando un gran calor ha tenido efecto paralizante sobre la circulacin. Al
principio el corazn trabaja con ms violencia; comienza en seguida a perder su fuerza y las
pulsaciones son de ciento veinte a ciento treinta por minuto.
Amyl. nitri, produce un cuadro semejante. La cara est enrojecida, los ojos saltones; hay
zumbido de odos, parlisis de los nervios vaso-motores y parlisis cardiaca consecutiva a la
disminucin de la presin en los capilares. Aconitum puede ser usado tambin cuando la
congestin cerebral es el resultado de un ataque de clera.
Puede usarse Aconitum en las afecciones de los ojos. Presta servicios en las conjuntivitis
consecutivas a las operaciones quirrgicas o que son resultado de la presencia de un cuerpo
extrao en el ojo. Tambin est indicado en las afecciones inflamatorias de los ojos, que
provienen de la exposicin a los vientos fros y secos. Hay sensacin de calor, resequedad y
ardor. Los ojos se sienten como si estuvieran llenos de arena y excesivamente sensibles; los
dolores son tan intensos que el paciente desea morir, declara que no puede resistirlos. El
globo ocular se siente como obligado a salir de su rbita y duele; este dolor se agrava cuando
la parte afectada se mueve o es tocada. La fotofobia es intensa, las pupilas estn contradas y
hay un crculo azul alrededor de la crnea y un violento dolor en los globos oculares como en
la epiescleritis. An el glaucoma puede exigir el uso de Aconitum, cuando en adicin a los
sntomas mencionados, hay dolores que bajan irradiando a la cara como en el tic doloroso,
especialmente despus de exponerse a un fro intenso o a los vientos frios, en pacientes
reumticos. Si, por otra parte, Aconitum no mejora inmediatamente, se debe desde luego
recurrir a otras medidas urgentes, porque esta enfermedad puede hacer perder la vista a
nuestro enfermo en un tiempo increiblemente corto.
Sulphur est indicado en la conjuntivitis por irritacin de cuerpos extraos cuando Aconitum
ha fallado.
Spigelia produce dolores semejantes a los de Aconitum. especialmente en el ojo izquierdo;

pero su inflamacin es menos general que en el caso de Aconitum.
Debemos recordar que dije que Aconitum tena dos tipos distintos de accin; hemos
estudiado el segundo y ms conocido; vamos a hora a estudiar el otro, que es muy diferente
del anterior. Los sntomas de este tipo pertenecen ms al sistema nervioso cerebro-espinal.
Primero hablaremos de los sntomas mentales. Encontramos que Aconitum es de utilidad en
las enfermedades mentales y en la histeria, cuando hay una particular aversin a la
excitacin, especialmente por las calles de mucho movimiento. El paciente no se atreve a
cruzar estas calles porque teme que alguna cosa le suceda; este sntoma es perfectamente
normal bajo algunas circunstancias, pero cuando se extrema, denota sobreexcitacin cerebral,
bastante comn en los enfermos histricos. Estn impacientes; no toleran la msica; no
pueden suportar ningn ruido, por-que tienen demasiado sensibles los odos. Se imaginan que
alguna parte de su cuerpo est deformada, por ejemplo, los miembros fuera de su lugar, los
labios muy gruesos, las facciones deformadas; se imaginan que todos su pensamientos
proceden del estmago. Algunas veces los pacientes, durante el ataque de su mal, tienen
crisis en los que predicen la hora de su muerte. Podemos encontrar este sntoma en la fiebre
puerperal. Argentum nitricum y Coffea tambin producen el mismo sntoma, prediciendo la
hora de la muerte, principalmente el ltimo durante el parto.
Adems, Aconitum produce parlisis, una parlisis que puede fcilmente ser recordada por
dos o tres sntomas subjetivos; parlisis acompaada de frialdad, adormecimiento y
hormigueo. A menos que haya hormigueo en la parte afectada, raras veces se encontrar
indicado Aconitum; la parapleja puede ceder al uso de Aconitum, si hay esta frialdad
caracterstica de los miembros y el hormigueo. Podemos hacer uso de Aconitum en las
diversas formas de parlsis local, como la parlisis facial, cuando va asociada a los sntomas
antes mencionados, y cuando se atribuye a la exposicin a los vientos frios y secos. Pero esta
parlisis nunca es de orgen orgnico.
Sulphur es el antdoto principal cuando la parlisis resulta por las excesivas dosis de
Aconitum. Se debe pensar en Cannabis indica y Staphysagria en la parlisis con hormigueo
en las partes afectadas; Rhus tox., Sulphur y Causticum, son de preferirse ms tarde,
especialmente en las parlisis debidas al fro.
La neuralga en que Aconitum est indicado, es producida por la exposicin a los vientos
fros y secos; ser de mayor utilidad cuando hay violenta congestin de la parte afectada, que
generalmente es la cara; sta se enrojecer e hinchar; los dolores llevan al paciente casi
hasta la desesperacin; hay generalmente hormigueo en la regin afectada. En esto puede
compararse con Spigelia, que es de utilidad en la prosopalgia del lado izquierdo con intensos
dolores quemantes y punzantes. El paciente manifiesta un intensa excitacin y gran
intolerancia a los dolores.
Colchicum est igualmente indicado en la prosopalgia del lado izquierdo; los dolores van
acompaados de una debilidad paraltica de los msculos, pero carecen de la intensidad de
los producidos por Spigelia y la excitacin e intolerancia al dolor, caracterstica, es mucho
menos notable en Colchicum.
Amyl. nit. puede ser ms necesario que Aconitum. en la prosopalgia con intensa congestin
local.
Aconitum es un medicamento muy importante en el tratamiento de las afecciones cardiacas.

Los sntomas que lo indican en estos casos, son numerosos e importantes. y necesariamente
tan importantes, ya que Aconitum perturba la circulacin de la sangre ejerciendo una accin
especial sobre el carazn y sus nervios. Hay congestin a la vez del corazn y los pulmones;
palpitaciones con ansiedad, opresin cardiaca, pudiendo llegar hasta el sncope. La
palpitacin empeora por caminar; dolores punzantes y lancinantes sobrevienen impidiendo al
enfermo asumir una postura recta o hacer una inspiracin profunda. Los accesos de dolor
intenso irradian del corazn al brazo izquierdo y van acompaados de adormecimiento y
hormigueo en los dedos.
En la hipertrofia cardiaca, Aconitum est indicado cuando est presente este adormecimiento
y hormigueo de los dedos. Se trata solamente de una hipertrofia cardiaca sin complicaciones,
en la que sea necesaria la prescripcin de este medicamento. En la hipertrofia por lesiones
valvulares, Aconitum puede causar grave dao. En esto, debe compararse Aconitum con
Arnica, Aurum metall., Rhus tox. y Cactus grandiflorus. Kalmia y Rhus tambin tienen
adormecimiento y hormigueo en el brazo izquierdo, en afecciones cardiacas.
Aconitum puede ser usado en el primer perodo de la neumona, cuando la temperatura es alta
y ha sido precedida de escalofro; los sntomas de la congestin pulmonar estn presentes. La
tos es generalmente dura y seca y bastante dolorosa; la expectoracin es serosa o aguada y un
poco manchada de sangre, pero no espesa. El enfermo est necesariamente lleno de ansiedad.
Veratrum vir., como ya se ha indicado, compite con Aconitum en el principio de la

pneumona. Obra admirablemente cuando la congestin pulmonar es grave; hay palpitaciones
cardacas violentas; pulso lleno y rpido; nusea, desmayos al levantarse, lengua roja en su
centro.
Bryonia entra a ocupar el lugar de Aconitum, especialmente cuando la hepatizacin ha

comenzado. La tos es todava dura y penosa y la expectoracin es ms gruesa. La angustia es
referible ahora a la opresin respiratoria y no a la fiebre. El paciente prefiere ms bien estar
acostado que moverse. Aconitum puede tambin estar indicado en la pleuresa, muy al
principio, antes de que se presente la exudacin; hay agudos dolores punzantes en uno o en
otro lado del pecho, con escalofro seguido de estado febril. Se puede en este caso pensar en
Aconitum, particularmente cuando la molestia proviene de la interrupcin de la transpiracin
o por la exposicin al aire fresco.
En el crup, sea catarral o membranoso, debe darse Aconitum, cuando este padecimiento ha
sido determinado por exponerse a los vientos fros y secos del noroeste. El enfermo despierta
por largos ataques de sofocacin. La tos es seca, dura, perruna y puede dejarse escuchar en
toda la casa. Hay gran dificultad para respirar, ansiedad y temperatura elevada.
Se puede hacer uso de Spongia cuando la respiracin produce un ruido como de aserradura;
la tos es spera, dura y rasposa; est indicado especialmente en los nios de tez blanca y de
ojos azules cuando la molestia empeora hacia la media noche.
Debe darse Hepar cuando la tos empeora por la maana o por descubrirse y va acompaada
de ruido de moco. Debe recurrirse a Sambucus cuando hay espasmo de la glotis; la
respiracin es difcil, de carcter silbante y empeora despus de la media noche o por
acostarse con la cabeza baja.
En la hemoptsis se requiere el uso de Aconitum, cuando la sangre es de un color rojo

encendido; esta molestia va siempre asociada de inquietud y la temperatura, sin excepcin,
est presente. En la hemoptsis se puede comparar Aconitum con los siguientes
medicamentos :
Millefolium en la hemoptsis con salida profusa de sangre roja y brillante, pero sin fiebre.
Ledum, en la hemoptsis de los borrachos y en las personas de ditesis reumtica. La sangre
es de color rojo encendido y espumosa.
Cactus grandiflorus en la hemoptsis con fuertes palpitaciones cardiacas, acompaada de

constriccin como si una banda comprimiera el pecho, aunque tiene menos ansiedad y fiebre
que Aconitum.
Aconitum es de uso frecuente en las enfermedades abdominales, especialmente de origen

inflamatorio. Puede usarse en la gastritis o catarro gstrico, cuando los sntomas
concomitantes estn presentes, cuando la molestia ha sido causada por un enfriamiento y
tambin por el entorpecimiento de erupciones agudas o por un repentino enfriamiento del
estmago, causado por tomar agua helada. Hay pesantez en el estmago como si se tuviera
una piedra fra, persistiendo aun despus del vmito repetido. Comprese con Colchicum,
Arsenicum, Elaps, etc. Tambin puede hacerse uso de Aconitum en el clico inflamatorio,
cuando los dolores obligan al paciente a encogerse, sin obtener mejora por esto, ni por
ninguna otra posicin. Este sntoma es inapreciable en el principio de un proceso
inflamatorio abdominal y tambin en algunos casos de dismenorrea ovrica. Puede
compararse con Colocynthis en este caso. Esta ltima droga falla en la inflamacin; sin
embargo, el paciente encuentra alivio por la presin y por encogerse. Aconitum puede ser
usado en la disentera que especialmente tiene lugar en el otoo, cuando los das calurosos
son seguidos de noches fras; las evacuaciones son escasas, sanguinolentas y viscosas, con
mucho tenesmo. En este padecimiento, Aconitum es seguido muy bien por Mercurius.
La diarrea de Aconitum es de orgen inflamatorio. Las evacuaciones son acuosas, mucosas y

sanguinolentas. Aparecen ordinariamente en el verano, como resultado del abuso de bebidas
fras o por interrumpir la transpiracin.
El clera infantil exige el uso de Aconitum, cuando las evacuaciones tienen el aspecto de
espinacas despedazadas y existen los sntomas inflamatorios ya mencionados.
Es necesario tambin recordar a Aconitum en la hernia estrangulada, cuando la inflamacin

se desarolla en el intestino comprimido, con dolor quemante en la parte afectada; hay
tambin vmitos biliosos, gran ansiedad y sudor fro.
En el principio de la nefritis, ya se trate del mal de Bright o no, Aconitum ha mejorado

cuando el paciente se queja de dolores agudos cortantes, que de la regin renal irradian en
crculo alrededor del abdomen o por encima de los huesos iliacos.
Si estudiamos los rganos genitales, nos encontramos que algunas veces Aconitum est
indicado en la dismenorrea, que parece ser el resultado del engrosamiento peritonal por
encima de los ovarios. El clico caracterstico descrito hace un momento, est presente.
Durante el embarazo, Aconitum puede ser administrado para ciertos sntomas mentales, como
el temor a la muerte, temperamento excitable, etc. Se puede tambin emplear en el aborto
inminente producido por la clera.
Durante el trabajo del parto, se puede administrar cuando los dolores son
desproporcionalmente violentos y frecuentes. La enferma se queja de no poder respirar, de no
poder soportar sus dolores. Est agitada ansiosa y el cuerpo se cubre de un sudor caliente.
En la fiebre de leche, se debe dar Aconitum, cuando los senos estn calientes e inflamados y
la piel est caliente y seca. Estos sntomas van acompaados de agitacin y ansiedad.
La supresin de los loquios es una indicacin para Aconitum, cuando es causada por un
emocin violenta y va acompaada de fiebre elevada, sed y ansiedad. Los senos estan laxos y
el abdomen distendido y sensible al tacto.
Aconitum no est indicado con frecuencia en las fiebres puerperales, porque generalmente
son de origen sptico; pero para otra forma, es el nico remedio capaz de yugular en unas
cuantas horas todas las molestias. Puede ser por descuido de la enfermera. por enfriamiento
de la enferma despus de un trabajo molesto, por asearla con agua demasiado fra o por el
cambio de ropas sin las precauciones necesarias. en seguida aparece la fiebre elevada, la sed,
etc., los ojos estn brillantes, de aspecto fiero y con expresin aguda de ansiedad; el abdomen
est distendido y sensible al tacto, los senos colgantes y sin leche; en estos casos, es
necesario prescribir Aconitum.
Aunque Aconitum no est indicado en la escarlatina, puede ser usado durante esta
enfermedad, despus del estado de descamacin, cuando el nio sufre algn enfriamiento y
de ello le resulta la nefritis aguda. Sobresaltado despierta el nio de su sueo con angustia
agnica; con sudor fro en la frente y los miembros, especialmente las piernas. Hay tambin
hidropesa.
En el sarampin es de utilidad Aconitum en el principio del caso, cuando hay temperatura

elevada, rubicundez de la conjuntiva; tos dura; seca, inquietud; comezn y ardor en la piel.
Precede en su uso a Pulsatilla y se puede confiar en l tanto tiempo como dure la calentura.
La erupcin es miliar y spera.
Gelsemium difiere de Aconitum en que produce ms somnolencia y hay deseo de permanecer

quieto. En el coriza agudo, se encontrar indicado Aconitum cuando la mucosa nasal est
seca y caliente, y cuando hay una violenta cefalalgia pulstil, que mejora por el aire. O el
coriza puede ser fluente y caliente con frecuentes entornudos. Todos los msculos del cuerpo
se sienten doloridos de manera que el estornudo, obliga al enfermo a detenerse el pecho. Hay
calentura, inquietud, y los sntomas concomitantes. Todo esto es provocado, no por el tiempo
hmedo; no por cualquier estado atmosfrico capaz de producir un enfriamiento o catarro,
sino por el aire fro, por los vientos fros y secos o por una transpiracin interrumpida.
Puede compararse con Nux vm, en los catarros producidos por el tiempo fro; la nariz est
inflamada y seca y la garganta se siente spera como si entuviera desollada.
Belladonna estar indicada si la cabeza est notablemente caliente, la garganta roja y las
amgdalas inflamadas.
China ser til si hay cefalalgia por la supresin del coriza, dolores que empeoran al aire
libre, en vez de mejorar como sucede en Aconitum.
En las enfermedades de la piel, Aconitum est indicado algunas veces. No es un remedio

indicado para la escarlatina, pero s para el rash escarlatiniforme con fiebre elevada, ansiedad
y los dems sntomas indicados.
Sulphur es el remedio apropiado cuando se ha abusado de Aconitum.

Caractersticas.- El Acnito crece en partes hmedas y cubiertas en casi todos los pases
montaosos, en el norte y en medio de Europa, especialmente en Jura, Suiza, Suecia,
Alemania. Teste menciona que tiene la reputacin de ser ms venenoso a los animales
carnvoros que los herbvoros. Esto se respalda parcialmente, y ha sido recientemente
confirmado aparentemente, por un intento en vano de intoxicar a un elefante con Aconitine
en este pas. Una zanahoria fue raspada y se le puso suficiente Aconitine para intoxicar 2,
000 hombres. El elefante lo comi, pero nada pas, y tres horas ms tarde, se le administr
una gran dosis de cido prsico, que fue fatal en corto tiempo. Antes del tiempo de
Hahnemann, el Acnito, tena una reputacin de sudorfico y en casos de reumatismo, citica
y tumores, pero no fue hasta Hahnemann que lo experiment, que realmente se entendieron
sus propiedades. Aconitum est muy asociado con el surgimiento y progreso de la
homeopata, que cualquier otro miembro de la Materia Mdica. Si Cinchona fue la "manzana
de Newton" en el descubrimiento de la homeopata, Aconitum fue el medicamento por el cual
Hahnemann fue capaz de encontrar los estados en los que en sus das eran tratados con
sangras. El Aconitum fue ms que cualquier otro medicamento, quien prepar el camino para
la desaparicin de la sangra del ejercicio mdico general. Uno de los venenos ms mortales
y ms rpida accin, a travs del descubrimiento de Hahnemann, se convirti en el mejor
amigo de los cuidados mdicos. Aconitum en potencia, ms arriba de la tercera, es una
medicina de una seguridad perfecta para cualquier edad. Pacientes sensibles se quejan de su
accin depresora cuando se repite, y conozco casos en los que la postracin caracterstica de
la mente y cuerpo, se ha presentado despus de haber dado Aconitum en potencias. Pero estos
casos son excepcionales, y no se acompaa de peligro, cuando esto ocurre. La gran mayora
de los pacientes, a quienes se ha dado Aconitum en potencias, no experimentan nada de esta
clase. La rapidez de accin del Aconitum determina sus propiedades para estados en que los
sntomas aparecen con gran intensidad, como en la Clera asitica, ciertas fiebres e
inflamaciones agudas. A esta lista se puede agregar ataques de ceguera sbita. Pero no se
suponga que la esfera de Aconitum est limitada a los casos agudos. Cuando los sntomas
corresponden, curar casos de gran cronicidad- por ejemplo, casos de ganglios indurados. Dr.
Hughes ha insistido marcadamente que los estados en los que Aconitum es homeoptico, es la
tensin; y esta palabra da la mejor idea de accin de la esfera de Aconitum. Hay tensin
mental y emocional, como se muestra en el susto o temor y sus consecuencias, ansiedad, y
temor de morir; tensin en los vasos sistmicos, como en el efecto de escalofro, clera
asitica y hemorragias; tensin muscular como en el ttanos; tensin de msculos
involuntarios, como en el espasmo del corazn y tensin de los msculos semi-involuntarios
de aparatos de la respiracin, como en el asma; y finalmente tensin de los sentidos
especiales, sensaciones muy intensas y sensacin muy intensa al dolor; en la sensacin de
entumecimiento de lugares, como vendados apretadamente, y tambin una sensacin de estar
vendado apretadamente en las extremidades y otras partes. Por lo tanto el Aconitum en sus
acciones terapeuticas corresponde a los efectos de un nmero de estados que excitan a un
estado de tensin. La pltora puede estar clasificada bajo este encabezado. Personas
pletricas de carcter animado, biliosas y constituciones nerviosas, cabello caf o negro
intenso, se adaptan especialmente al Aconitum. Congestin activa, sangunea, de toda clase,
especialmente los que son seguidos por escalofro. Guernsey, lo pone en otra forma: "El
desarrollo puro y completo del glbulo de la sangre, en el ms perfecto tipo, cuando se
enferma, tiene gran afinidad por el Aconitum. Cuando los glbulos de la sangre estn
desorganizados, rara vez est indicado. Nosotros pensamos en Aconitum, en inflamaciones
sbitas, especialmente causadas por el fro, aire seco, exhalaciones suprimidas del cuerpo."
Teste relata un caso notable de un hombre ingls, que estaba obligado a hacer grandes viajes
en trineo en medio del invierno, en el norte de Rusia, y que padeci despus, por dos aos,
paroxismos violentos de palpitaciones y dolores agudos en la regin del corazn, amenaza de
apopleja cerebral. Se diagnostic aneurisma, por mdicos importantes en Inglaterra y del
continente. Teste localiz la afeccin a una neurosis o espasmo del msculo pectoral mayor,
y prob su diagnstico, por la cura rpida con Aconitum. Los vientos cortantes, penetrantes
de las montaas donde la planta florece, da indicacin de la accin de este medicamento. No
hay muchos medicamentos que tengan causa tan intensamente marcada en sus caractersticas.
El fro, susto, traumatismo u operaciones quirrgicas- los efectos de stos se encuentran en la
gran mayora de los casos de Aconitum, la administracin a tiempo, proteger de serios
resultados. La reaccin del efecto primario del enfriamiento da otra caracterstica de
Aconitum: la de fiebre. Con la fiebre de Aconitum hay: Inquietud y se mueve, y el estado de
tensin es evidente en la ansiedad que se acompaa algunas veces, de temor de morir. La
exaltacin mental, algunas veces, va tan lejos, que predice el da y la hora de su muerte.
Clarividencia. Sensibilidad extrema a la luz y sonidos y todas las sensaciones, incluyendo el
dolor. Cuando la enfermedad comienza con calma y paciencia, Aconitum no se necesitar.
Fue la inquietud febril en los experimentadores de Aconitum, que llev a Hahnemann a
inferir su homeopaticidad para muchos estados de fiebres; y es la presencia de esta inquietud,
ansiedad, temor y sensibilidad exaltada, que son las indicaciones principales en estados de
muchas clases. Algunas caractersticas de Aconitum son las siguientes: Hemorragia activa en
personas pletricas, fornidas. Eliminan casi pura sangre al obrar. En hemoptisis, la sangre
aparece con gran facilidad, al toser, sangre roja en grandes cantidades, por enfriamiento,
vientos secos, con gran temor, ansiedad y palpitaciones. Cada inspiracin aumenta la tos.
Sensacin de cosquilleo en el pecho, despus de toser. Sed inextinguible: todo sabe amargo,
excepto el agua (China, todo, incluyendo el agua). En crup, los nios se agarran la garganta
con cada ataque de tos. Frialdad, entumecimiento y cosquilleo caracterizan la parlisis y
neurosis de Aconitum. Parlisis facial por exposicin al fro, vientos secos. El temor y
aprensin de Aconitum se muestra en el temor de cruzar las calles. Hay intolerancia a la
msica: Algunos sntomas curiosos son: Imagina que alguna parte de su cuerpo est
deformado. Imagina que hace todos sus pensamientos del estmago. Predice la hora de su
muerte (clarividencia).Aconitum es uno de los grandes medicamentos para el dolor, rivaliza
con Cham. y Coffea, en la intensidad de los dolores que causa. Dolores son intolerables, lo
llevan a la desesperacin. Los dolores de Aconitum son desgarrantes, cortantes; se
acompaan con inquietud; se acompaan de entumecimiento, cosquilleo o de hormigueo.
Aconitum, no tolera el dolor, no tolera que lo toquen, no tolera cubrirse. La odontalgia de
Aconitum, es de un lado, con mejilla roja del mismo lado. Guernsey da las siguientes
indicaciones: "Si un nio est sufriendo de diarrea acuosa, est llorando y se queja mucho,
muerde sus muecas y sin sueo, Aconitum usualmente, aquietar este problema en corto
tiempo. El estado de disturbio de la mente cesar y seguir un sueo tranquilo. La madre nos
insistir: "Doctor, el est bien, excepto sus intestinos, estn tan mal como nunca." Ahora, no
d otro medicamento, pero espere y vea si Aconitum completar la cura por s mismo." Otro
caso: Orina caliente, roja, escasa, ocasionada por enfriamiento, especialmente en nios. El
nio grita y parece estar en un gran dolor, porque no puede orinar. Aconitum cesar el dolor,
tranquilizar al nio, y la orina fluir un tiempo despus. En adultos, la incontinencia de
orina, algunas veces, se mejorar por el Aconitum. Hay una gran y sbita falta de fuerzas;
desmayo al intentar pararse; con ansiedad, inquietud, entumecimiento, cosquilleo y
hormigueo Aconitum tiene una amplia esfera de utilidad en afecciones de los ojos.
Inflamaciones de muchas clases, por el fro, golpes, polvo, operaciones quirrgicas,
inflamacin escrofulosa con crecimiento de los ganglios, todo est dentro de su alcance.
Algunos casos notables de ceguera sbita han sido curados por l. Hirsch de Praga, registra
dos casos, uno de un hombre de 30 aos, que se acost bien, haba caminado a casa en un
tiempo tormentoso y malo, despus de haber estado en un cuarto caluroso; se le dio
Aconitum 3, a la siguiente noche sud abundantemente, y en la maana su visin fue
restaurada. Hisrch, el mismo, perdi la vista sbitamente mientras se baaba en agua
caliente. Tom Aconitum 3 en agua, como se lo dio a su paciente. En dos horas empez a
sudar, y despus de seis horas de sueo, despert bien. Lippe ha registrado el caso de una
seora, que encontr con mucho malestar, ansiedad, paralizada de miedo. En su usual salud,
ingiri una comida completa, y leyendo despus, las letras bailaban delante de sus ojos, y la
impresin se volvi borrosa; la cara y la nariz se entumieron; pulso pequeo, 120 por minuto.
Una dosis de Aconitum c.m. (Finke) fue dada. El entumecimiento desapareci en media hora;
pulso 72; la visin fue perfecta cuando cerraba un ojo, pero todo pareca indistinto cuando
mantena abiertos los dos. Este sntoma desapareci a la maana siguiente; un aturdimiento
de la cabeza, qued ese da. El tiempo de agravacin de los sntomas de Aconitum, es
principalmente en la noche y medianoche. Calor as como el fro, son lesionantes para el
paciente de Aconitum; insolacin es un estado que lo indica; y Aconitum curar muchas
cefaleas causadas por exposicin al sol, y tambin eritema solar. Cefalea, es generalmente >
al aire libre, < en cuarto caluroso; odontalgia y tos < al aire libre. > por descubrirse. Cuarto
caluroso < escalofro; en fiebre, la cama es intolerable; quiere descubrirse. Sudoracin en
partes afectadas o cubiertas. Hay < por vinos o estimulantes; < por beber (cualquier clase de
lquidos). Reposo > los sntomas en general, pero durante la noche, los dolores son
intolerables, extremidades se sienten cansadas y el escalofro es peor. Acostado mejora
cefalea y vrtigo, y agrava otras molestias. Acostado sobre la espalda > tos y punzadas en el
pecho; acostado sobre un lado < punzadas en el pecho y tos: la mejilla sobre la que descansa,
suda. Levantarse de un asiento causa vrtigo. Vrtigo, palidez, desmayo, al sentarse en la
cama. Doblarse > clico y dolor de dismenorrea. Movimiento < dolores en msculos,
articulaciones y rigidez.

Hahnemann dice: "Para que el acnito sea administrado homeopticamente, se necesita, ms
que nada, observar los sntomas morales y fijarse con cuidado en que sean muy semejantes a
los del remedio; la angustia mental y corporal, la inquietud, el temor de no ser aliviado".
Esta ansiedad mental y temor acompaan a los padecimientos ms triviales.
La msica le es insoportable la pone triste (Sabin. durante la menstruacin Nat. c.).
Al levantarse estando reclinado, la cara que estaba roja se pone de una palidez mortal o se
desmaya o se desvanece y cae, temiendo levantarse de nuevo; esto se acompaa muchas
veces de desvanecimientos en la vista e inconsciencia.

Nunca se debe dar el Acnito con el simple objetivo de combatir la fiebre, nunca debe
alternarse con otra medicina con este mismo objeto. Si hay algn caso que necesite Acnito
no es preciso otro remedio, el lo curar.
Casi siempre es daoso para los primeros perodos de la fiebre tifoidea, a menos que est
indicado por la causa que la produzca.

Aconitum napellus (Hahnemann MH)
Los sntomas producidos por el acnito en el hombre sano proporcionan a la sagacidad del
homepata los medios de juzgar hasta qu punto puede ser til este medicamento en ciertos
estados morbosos contra los cuales la medicina vulgar ha empleado hasta el presente,
frecuentemente en vano y casi siempre con tristes resultados, sus peligrosos remedios, tales
como las emisiones sanguneas copiosas y el aparato de lo que ella llama tratamiento
antiflogstico.
Quiero hablar de las fiebres inflamatorias puras, en las que la ms pequea dsis de acnito,
obrando de una manera antiptica, procura la curacin con prontitud y sin dejar ninguna
afeccin consecutiva.
En el sarampin, en la prpura miliar, en las fiebres inflamatorias con pleuresa, etc., la
eficacia de esta planta es casi milagrosa, con tal que el enfermo, observando un rgimen
atemperante y abstenindose de toda otra droga medicinal y tambin de los cidos vegetales,
la tome sola y a la dosis de un milsimo de gota de la dilucin al decillonsimo. Es raro que
sea necesaria una segunda dosis semejante al cabo de treinta y seis o cuarenta y ocho horas.
Algunas veces es indispensable en estas enfermedades agudas (las grandes fiebres
inflamatorias agudas) recurrir a algn otro remedio homeoptico para extinguir los sntomas
morbosos que quedan todava despus de doce o diez y seis horas de accin del acnito; pero
es muy raro que haya necesidad de administrar despus una nueva dosis de este ltimo.
Aunque, en razn de la corta duracin de su accin (que, a dosis dbiles, no se prolonga ms
all de cuarenta y ocho horas), parece que el acnito no puede ser til sino en los casos
agudos, no por esto deja de ser un remedio indispensable en las afecciones crnicas ms
pertinaces, en las que el estado del cuerpo reclama una disminucin de lo que se llama
rigidez de la fibra, materia sobre la cual no puedo aqu desarrollar mis ideas. La eficacia que
despliega en tal caso depende de la exposicin de los sntomas provocados por l en el
hombre sano.
El acnito es igualmente el primero y el ms poderoso de todos los medios curativos en el
crup, en varias especies de anginas, como tambin en las inflamaciones locales de otras
partes del cuerpo, y en aquellas sobre todo, donde con la sed y un pulso frecuente, se
encuentra una impaciencia inquieta, una agitacin que nada puede calmar y una gesticulacin
semejante a la que acompaa al acnito.
Engendra todos los estados morbosos que se manifiestan en las personas cuya moral ha sido
alterada por el miedo unido a la indignacin, y es el ms seguro medio de curarlos
rpidamente.
Cada vez que se elige el acnito a titulo de remedio homeoptico, es menester sobre todo
tener en cuenta los sntomas morales y procurar que se parezcan a los que aqul produce.
El acnito es indispensable en las mujeres que han experimentado algn sobresalto o
contrariedades durante sus reglas; porque, sin este precioso calmante, sucede con frecuencia
que el flujo menstrual se detiene, a veces sbitamente, bajo la influencia de tal sacudida
moral. En semejante caso, basta hacer respirar una sola vez y durante un instante un frasco
que contenga un glbulo del volumen de un grano de mostaza, que haya sido empapado en
una dilucin al decillonsimo, el cual conserva su virtud algunos aos, con tal que se tenga
cuidado de tapar el frasco cada vez que se use.
Los cidos vegetales y el vino destruyen los efectos del acnito (1).
El miedo que se remedia con el opio cuando uno es llamado en el acto, exige el acnito en
una poca ms lejana, o cuando el miedo va acompaado de tristeza (2).
Un enfriamiento considerable, cuyo resultado es la fiebre y el calor, reclama el acnito (3).
El sntoma 84 (aversin a la luz) probablemente alterna con el 84 (avidez por la luz, deseo
de mirar los sitios muy iluminados), de suerte que los dos son efectos primitivos (4).
El acnito contiene la observacin siguiente: "Cada vez que se elige el acnito a ttulo de
remedio homeoptico, es indispensable tener en cuenta sobre todo los sntomas morales y
cuidar de que se parezcan a los que l produce".
Hahnemann hace observar en su Organon que "el aconit rara vez produce, quiz jams, una
curacin rpida y duradera cuando el carcter del enfermo es igual y apacible."

Clinica
Aconitum conviene particularmente a las personas jvenes y vigorosas, muy fcilmente
congestivas, sensibles a los cambios atmosfricos y que completamente bien son
repentinamente atacados por el padecimiento despus de estar sometidos a un brusco
enfriamiento. El mal siempre estalla bruscamente y los signos clnicos se manifiestan
inmediatamente con una violencia e intensidad extremadas. Se recuerda la trada sintomtica
de Aconitum: agitacin, temor a morir, dolores intolerables, indicacin segura del remedio.

Aconitum napellus (Wheeler)
Aconitum napellus - Acnito o anapelo: tintura de la planta entera (incluyendo la raz) al

comienzo de la floracin.
El acnito tiene la antigua reputacin de causar transpiracin y aliviar ciertos casos de
reumatismo y citica, pero la precisin en su uso se debe a las experimentaciones del mismo
sobre personas sanas realizadas por Hahnemann. Est asociado en forma muy ntima con el
progreso inicial de la homeopata (y los primeros antagonismos a la misma) en gran parte
porque mediante su uso Hahnemann y sus partidarios lograron prescindir de las sangras, que
estuvieron de moda hasta despus de mediados del siglo pasado para tratar casi cualquier
afeccin. La investigacin moderna ha aislado un alcaloide, la aconitina y especies afines
producen sustancias similares. La delfinina, el alcaloide de Staphisagria, es similar en sus
efectos a la aconitina, pero menos txica. La aconitina es un veneno muy violento: muchos
de los sntomas de la patogenesia del acnito se deben a este alcaloide, pero existen pocas
dudas de que tambin actan en buena medida otros componentes de la tintura de acnito. Se
debe notar especialmente la presencia de fosfato de hierro (Ferrum phosphoricum ); las
experimentaciones se realizan con la tintura y cuando ellas corresponden adecuadamente a
los cuadros mrbidos se debe preferir como remedio la tintura o una potencia de esta ltima.
El acnito estimula al comienzo y luego deprime las terminaciones nerviosas sensitivas, mas
especialmente las de la sensibilidad general. Como resultado, se producen estornudos, tos,
secrecin salivar y vmitos de carcter reflejo; pero no es improbable una cierta estimulacin
de los centros bulbares.
Parece actuar sobre la circulacin estimulando al comienzo (en dosis relativamente
pequeas) el centro cardioinhibidor bulbar y produciendo de este modo un pulso lento; es
posible que tambin acte sobre el centro vasoconstrictor; en todo caso, como se ver las
experimentaciones revelan una hipertensin relativamente acentuada. Los experimentos con
aconitina se han realizado en su mayor parte en animales y con dosis crecientes, de tal modo
que no se puede esperar obtener los efectos ms finos de las experimentaciones ms
graduales. Grandes dosis de aconitina parecen actuar en forma directa sobre el corazn,
produciendo un pulso rpido e irregular, con una menor conduccin de los impulsos y
finalmente fibrilacin y muerte. En tales circunstancias la presin arterial tiende a descender,
con ascensos temporarios ocasionales hasta un nivel tolerable, aunque no elevado. El centro
respiratorio es afectado precozmente y en forma directa y su depresin causa disnea y a veces
la muerte antes de que el corazn falle.
Desde la publicacin del "Manual de Teraputica" del Dr. Ringer (un volumen de inters
permanente para el homepata como "transmisor" de ciertos aspectos de la prctica
homeoptica) los mdicos ortodoxos han elogiado el acnito para las afecciones febriles,
pero su uso parece ser menos frecuente entre los mismos en la actualidad. La explicacin de
su cada en desuso tiene una cierta significacin. Desde Hahnemann en adelante, el
homepata ha sabido que Aconitum es de gran valor en las afecciones febriles siempre que el
ascenso de la temperatura se asocie con sntomas definidos, en realidad, cada vez que el caso
de enfermedad en su conjunto sea "similar" a las experimentaciones de acnito. En la
actualidad su valor es tan grande como siempre; pero si no estn presentes otros sntomas del
acnito, la mera presencia de la fiebre no es una indicacin suficiente para el remedio y su
uso ser seguido por una decepcin. No se puede reiterar con demasiada frecuencia que la
homeopata busca remedios para los individuos, no para los nombres con que se designan las
enfermedades y usar el acnito como un "febrfugo" sin tener en cuenta los dems sntomas
no es ni homeopata ni una buena prctica mdica. El Dr. Ringer dio instrucciones muy
precisas para su empleo, pero el uso rutinario y al azar del medicamento ha causado su
descrdito en muchos sectores y hoy en da grandes autoridades no lo recomiendan; sin
embargo, para el homepata reina en forma tan suprema como siempre y representa un
remedio invalorable para casos adecuados de enfermedad. Debemos aclarar sus verdaderas
esferas de accin. El acnito es un remedio de accin poderosa pero breve y, de acuerdo con
tal circunstancia, es sumamente adecuado para enfermedades que aparecen en forma sbita y
violenta, pero que son de curso breve. La tormenta violenta que pasa con rapidez es el tipo de
enfermedad al cual corresponde en forma ms exacta. Se comprobar su valor en algunos
casos ms crnicos (por ejemplo, neuralgias) cuando se puedan hacer corresponder los
sntomas detallados del medicamento y la afeccin, pero en la mayor parte de los casos es
requerido en las enfermedades agudas y subagudas y entre las mismas, en aquellas de
comienzo repentino e inmediata violencia.
Una enfermedad aguda es aquella en que se moviliza con rapidez la resistencia del cuerpo,
en la cual el tejido no est mucho tiempo en duda y la victoria para un bando o el otro es una
cuestin de das. Tal afeccin es, segn decimos, una enfermedad autolimitada y las
posibilidades de recuperacin natural son considerables. En la teraputica, nada es tan difcil
como estimar el efecto real de los medicamentos en tal caso, pero el mismo poder de
resistencia que causa la dificultad de juicio constituye un enorme incremento de la capacidad
de ayuda del mdico. Como en todos los casos la recuperacin slo se puede efectuar
mediante un mecanismo corporal ya establecido y como el efecto de cualquier remedio slo
se puede ejercer a travs de este canal preexistente, es evidente que cuanto ms poderoso es
el mecanismo, tanto mejor lo afectar un estmulo medicamentoso. Por lo general, el cuerpo
posee reservas de resistencia a la enfermedad y, hablando en trminos amplios, las
teraputicas con medicamentos constituyen intentos de utilizar tales reservas; en las
enfermedades agudas, por lo general, se las moviliza de una manera bastante efectiva sin
ayuda de remedios, pero es evidente que hay margen para una accin eficiente si est
orientada correctamente. En algunos casos es concebible que el estmulo adicional de un
remedio bien elegido puede representar la diferencia entre el triunfo y la derrota; en muchos
otros casos afecta ms la velocidad y la facilidad de recuperacin que el simple resultado de
la vida o la muerte. Si no existe ningn mecanismo adecuado de resistencia para responder,
ningn medicamento ser de utilidad, pues ninguno aporta una fuerza nueva sino que influye
en fuerzas preexistentes. Sin embargo, el estmulo de un medicamento puede aplicar con
mayor rapidez la accin de las fuerzas y puede incluso en ciertas ocasiones poner en juego
reservas, que sin su ayuda permaneceran sin ser utilizadas o se utilizaran demasiado tarde.
Pues con el conocimiento que poseemos de las enfermedades bacterianas, es fcilmente
concebible que si el poder de resistencia (necesariamente limitado) se pudiera utilizar en
forma inmediata en gran volumen, podra avasallar al enemigo, pero si se lo utilizara en
pequeas cantidades contra un adversario que se agranda, tal vez resultara ineficaz. Sin
embargo, es posible que el poder total utilizado sea menor en el primer caso que en el ltimo.
La vacunoterapia opera apoyada en concepciones del mismo orden y la farmacoterapia (por
lo menos en manos homeopticas) est influida por consideraciones similares.
En consecuencia, Aconitum es preeminentemente un remedio para afecciones agudas La
fiebre estar casi siempre presente, de un tipo que describiremos a continuacin. La
investigacin moderna nos ha llevado a considerar en gran parte la fiebre como una reaccin
a la enfermedad que de ningn modo es siempre (o incluso habitualmente) desfavorable. La
prctica (todava demasiado comn) de tratar de reducir la fiebre sin tener en cuenta otros
sntomas resulta defectuosa cuando se advierte que con frecuencia la produccin de
anticuerpos es ms eficaz con una temperatura elevada. La fiebre es de muchos tipos y es
sensato tratar de adaptar a cada tipo el remedio apropiado.
El mecanismo que regula la temperatura del cuerpo es complicado y una alta marca
termomtrica se debe posiblemente (en realidad, se debe sin duda alguna) ahora a una causa,
ahora a otra. Pero cuando representa una reaccin a la necesidad de un aumento de la
produccin de anticuerpos, es probable que la hipertermia se deba a la accin de los centros
termorreguladores encef licos y existen motivos para creer que el acnito afecta dichos
centros. La experiencia homeoptica comprueba que la droga corresponde a afecciones
agudas en sujetos aparentemente fuertes, sanos, a menudo pletricos, en quienes el ataque de
la enfermedad encuentra una reaccin violenta. Los jvenes lo necesitan con mayor
frecuencia que los ancianos y le responden con rapidez. Despus de administrarlo con xito,
a menudo la temperatura desciende inmediatamente y la tormenta cesa. Son posibles dos
explicaciones: si el ascenso de la temperatura deba promover la produccin de anticuerpos,
su rpido descenso despus de la administracin de acnito (con el retorno a la salud del
paciente) podra significar que el acnito ha estimulado de tal modo este proceso que ya no
se requerira el aumento de temperatura. Pero como el medicamento parece actuar
principalmente sobre los centros encef licos, esta explicacin resulta improbable: es ms
verosmil que, hablando en trminos estrictos, el ascenso inicial era innecesario, que el
cuerpo poda hacer frente a la emergencia sin el mismo y que la perturbacin representaba
una falsa alarma. En tal caso el efecto del acnito puede consistir en calmar esta perturbacin
innecesaria, despejando de este modo el terreno para las fuerzas de recuperacin. La analoga
ms cercana sera la de una ciudad sitiada con una poblacin civil atemorizada, cuya
perturbacin estorba a la guarnicin. El acnito correspondera a las fuerzas de persuasin y
confianza que deberan calmar las ansiedades civiles y permitir que los soldados realicen su
propia tarea de una manera ms eficaz.
Cualquiera que sea la explicacin final, raras veces el homepata est en duda acerca de las
verdaderas indicaciones para Aconitum. Existen pocos medicamentos tan relacionados con
causas definidas como el acnito. Las afecciones intensas agudas producidas por
enfriamiento, especialmente el originado por el viento fro, seco y cortante, o el tiempo
caluroso y seco y especialmente el calor del sol, el shock, los sustos o las operaciones
quirrgicas, son circunstancias excitantes que producen la sintomatologa del acnito.
La naturaleza esencial de Aconitum fu sintetizada con precisin por el Dr. Hughes en una
sola palabra: "tensin". Existe tensin emocional y mental, que se revela en una gran
ansiedad, agitacin y temor. El temor suele ser irracional e indefinido, aunque es
caracterstico el temor de la muerte; existe tensin en las arterias, con pulso lleno, fuerte y
rpido, encontrando a veces alivio en una hemoptisis o en una epistaxis arterial; tensin en
los msculos; en los msculos involuntarios, como se advierte en la accin violenta del
corazn; en los sentidos especiales, en los que la sensacin es agudizada. Es a menudo el
primer remedio en las afecciones inflamatorias agudas, pero la invasin es repentina y
violenta y acompaada por ansiedad, agitacin y miedo. Tal estado se observa especialmente
en las afecciones agudas de los individuos robustos y fuertes, con frecuencia sanguneos,
incluso pletricos.
Los sntomas que indican Aconitum tienden a presentarse en pacientes de un temperamento
rpido, animado y sanguneo, que disfrutan por regla general de buena salud. El individuo
vigoroso sucumbe con rapidez a una invasin violenta y entonces aparece la mentalidad
caracterstica. Cualquier dolencia, por ms trivial que sea, es acompaada por malos
presentimientos, agitacin, ansiedad y miedo. El rostro adquiere una expresin ansiosa, la
tensin mental del paciente se expresa por un temor a menudo indefinido y, al verse
abrumado por la violencia de su estado, sus presagios adoptan una forma concreta, como el
temor de la muerte y puede predecir incluso la hora de su fallecimiento. Con frecuencia
existe un temor completamente injustificable, carente de toda proporcin con la gravedad de
la enfermedad. La ansiedad causa mucha agitacin fsica e inquietud, con considerable
exaltacin mental o incluso violento delirio. Existe un aumento de la sensibilidad; los dolores
son intensos, a veces intolerables (el entumecimiento y el hormigueo pueden reemplazar el
dolor) y los sentidos especiales responden a los estmulos de una manera ms violenta que la
normal. Por consiguiente, estos sntomas fundamentales: la agitacin, la ansiedad, el temor,
la exaltada sensibilidad, con escalofros y un pronunciado ascenso de la temperatura y pulso
duro y lleno, son los rasgos principales del enfermo de Aconitum y tales rasgos dan su sello a
los sntomas, cualquiera que sea la parte del cuerpo afectada. La cabeza est pesada, caliente
y quemante, el dolor es violento e intenso, y acompaado por temor. Tales cefaleas ocurren
en individuos pletricos por una exposicin a vientos fros y secos. Al levantarse de la
posicin horizontal la cara enrojecida se puede tornar mortalmente plida, o el paciente
experimenta mareos. El vrtigo que combate Aconitum se agrava siempre al levantarse de la
posicin recostada.
El primer estadio de la inflamacin catarral de los ojos, antes de la fase exudativa, con
aversin a la luz y prpados hinchados y rojos despus de una exposicin a vientos fros y
secos, a una reverberacin de la nieve o despus de la extraccin de cuerpos extraos son
aliviados en forma rpida por este medicamento. Por causas similares se produce una
inflamacin repentina en el odo, acompaada por un dolor cortante. Junto con este dolor de
odo, el odo externo est enrojecido, caliente, dolorido e hinchado.
La mayor sensibilidad de ese sentido especial se revela en dicho rgano por la sensibilidad al
ruido; tambin la msica se vuelve intolerable. La agravacin de los sntomas por la msica
no es un sntoma de observacin infrecuente y aparece en varios medicamentos. Para quien
sea sensible a la msica la indicacin puede requerir una salvedad; pues cualquier amante
refinado de ese arte podra en algn momento sentirse molesto o incluso fastidiado por
algunos tipos de msica. Cuando se encuentre registrado el sntoma se lo debe entender como
una exageracin del sentido musical, de tal modo que la msica que nunca agrada se torna
intolerable y se evita incluso la que es generalmente apreciada, sea porque el aparato auditivo
est en falla y los sonidos llegan al oyente distorsionados (es sta la situacin ms rara y en
tal caso habr otros sntomas auditivos) sea porque la reaccin fsica es tan abrumadora que
resulta desagradable. Aparece en forma repentina un coriza, con muchos estornudos,
posiblemente acompaado con hemorragia nasal, cefalea, fiebre, sed, ansiedad y miedo. Con
frecuencia el sentido del olfato es de una aguda sensibilidad. La cara de Aconitum presenta
una expresin atemorizada y ansiosa. Puede estar presente una intensa neuralgia,
especialmente en el lado izquierdo de la cara, acompaada por agitacin, hormigueo y
entumecimiento. La boca est seca, caliente y con hormigueos, la lengua hinchada y
revestida de una capa blanca con hormigueo en la punta. Aconitum es un gran remedio para
la odontalgia, que se puede producir aun en dientes sanos despus de una exposicin a
vientos fros y secos. Los dientes son sensibles al fro. La garganta est roja, seca y
estrechada y esto va acompaado por los sntomas tpicos de Aconitum. El catarro gstrico,
especialmente producido por el hecho de beber agua helada, a menudo requiere este
medicamento. Se presentan vmitos biliosos con transpiracin profusa, alguna hematemesis,
aumento de la miccin, acompandose de ansiedad, agitacin y fiebre. Existe una intensa
sed de agua fra. El paciente apetece cosas picantes, coac, cerveza o bebidas amargas; todo
tiene sabor amargo, salvo el agua.
El abdomen est tenso, timpnico y sensible al tacto, manifestaciones que se acompaan de
miedo y angustia. El clico de Aconitum puede ser tan intenso que hace doblar al paciente,
pero en realidad ninguna posicin alivia el dolor. Se puede presentar hepatitis aguda e
ictericia, con fiebre violenta y ansiedad a consecuencia de una exposicin al fro. Existe
necesidad apremiante de evacuar, con tenesmo; la deposicin puede ser coleriforme, en tanto
que el paciente se encuentra en estado de colapso, agitado y ansioso. Las afecciones del
aparato urinario muestran la habitual violencia e intensidad del acnito. La inflamacin de la
vejiga es aguda, con constante necesidad de orinar, aunque la orina es escasa y puede estar
mezclada con sangre. La retencin de orina, especialmente en los nios, consecutiva a un
enfriamiento o a un shock, est acompaada por agitacin y llantos (comparar con Rhus
tox.).
Las afecciones agudas en mujeres pletricas, vigorosas y excitables requieren Aconitum,
especialmente si son provocadas por excitacin emocional, temor o exposicin al fro. De
este modo puede quedar suprimida la menstruacin; durante el embarazo, puede haber una
amenaza de aborto; despus del parto, la fiebre lctea est acompaada por delirio; las
mamas estn calientes, duras y tensas, con escasa cantidad de leche.
Muchas afecciones agudas del tracto respiratorio requieren acnito en los estadios iniciales.
La laringitis es espasmdica, la tos es ronca y seca, la respiracin es opresiva y laboriosa.
Esta afeccin se presenta en los nios despus de una exposicin al fro. El nio se despierta
de su primer sueo o despus de medianoche con fiebre y excitacin intensa, disnea,
respiracin laboriosa y sensacin de ahogo; la tos es seca, breve y cortante y se agrava con la
bebida y estando acostado. El nio se debe sentar.
Pueden aparecer una neumona o una pleuritis agudas con sntomas generales que indican
Aconitum. Es raro que Aconitum baste para todo el curso de tal enfermedad, aunque en
ciertas ocasiones una neumona lobular parezca responder en forma maravillosa. El primer
estadio de una neumona que sugiere Aconitum presenta el comienzo brusco y la intensidad
siempre asociados con el medicamento. El paciente, que aparentemente se encontraba en un
estado de robusta salud con anterioridad, sucumbe a una repentina fiebre alta, acompaada
por escalofros. Se siente profundamente enfermo. La cara est caliente, seca y roja; las
conjuntivas se encuentran inyectadas. Por lo general, el paciente est muy angustiado,
ansioso, agitado y en estado de temor. La tos es breve y continua, la expectoracin es escasa
y en poco tiempo se puede encontrar veteada con sangre roja y brillante (no de color
herrumbroso como en Bryonia). Existen violentos dolores en el pecho; la lengua est seca y
hay deseo intenso de agua fra o de algo amargo. La fiebre es alta y el pulso lleno y saltn. El
paciente encuentra dificultad en estar acostado y se siente muy aliviado cuando se lo eleva
con almohadas. Se puede abortar el curso de una neumona con este violento comienzo,
administrando Aconitum. Aunque sea as, suele ser ventajoso reforzar ese tratamiento con
unas pocas dosis de Sulphur. Este ltimo medicamento es un remedio de accin profunda que
tiene la ms ntima relacin con Aconitum y cada vez que un cuadro mrbido ha indicado
Aconitum y ste ha hecho bien hasta cierto punto, por lo general Sulphur completar la cura.
De modo similar, se puede abortar con Aconitum una fiebre reumtica de comienzo sbito,
provocada por una exposicin al viento fro y seco. El ataque generalmente comienza a la
noche con fiebre alta acompaada por agitacin y ansiedad. Las articulaciones estn calientes
y tumefactas, sensibles al tacto, con agravacin por el calor y el movimiento y hay
desplazamiento de los malestares de una articulacin a otra.
En todas estas afecciones agudas el sueo tiende a perturbarse. Existe insomnio con
agitacin; puede haber sueos ansiosos o pesadillas. A menudo Aconitum alivia mucho el
insomnio agitado de los ancianos, aunque no exista dolor.
Los buenos sujetos para Aconitum son con frecuencia sanguneos, incluso pletricos, y en la
poca posterior de la vida, cuando se eleva la tensin arterial y la apopleja se convierte en
una posibilidad, a menudo se requiere este medicamento para combatir emergencias. Su
efecto es demasiado transitorio para tratar alteraciones arteriales reales para las cuales estn
mejor adaptados remedios como el Bario pero es invalorable para episodios de particular
tensin. Despus de una hemorragia cerebral, si la presin contina siendo alta, Aconitum la
tratar por lo menos tan bien como una sangra.
Existen algunas pruebas de que despus de una intoxicacin prolongada y gradual, el acnito
afecta finalmente los centros motores medulares y, en consecuencia, se lo ha recomendado
para la poliomielitis anterior aguda. En trminos generales, la experiencia homeoptica no lo
encuentra indicado con mucha frecuencia en esta enfermedad, pero si los sntomas generales
lo requirieran, su posible relacin con la patologa tisular agregara peso a la decisin. Si no
estn presentes los sntomas generales, es dudoso que se deba permitir que la patologa por s
sola determine la eleccin de este-medicamento.
El Dr. Hughes valoraba Aconitum para la endocarditis aguda (ulcerativa) sobre la base de su
(indudable) accin directa sobre el corazn. Pero tambin en este caso la mayor parte de los
observadores homepatas concuerdan en que raras veces est indicado
sintomatolgicamente, y su uso resulta decepcionante. Tal endocarditis es una enfermedad
bacteriana y la principal esperanza reside en combatir la causa mediante los mecanismos de
la resistencia corporal. No hay pruebas de que el acnito los afecte; cualquier efecto que
pudiera tener sera en calidad de un posible estimulante directo del corazn, es decir, de
carcter paliativo, no curativo.
Con Aconitum se pueden aliviar con rapidez perturbaciones repentinas de los sentidos
especiales (particularmente el de la visin) que probablemente dependen de fallas vasculares
temporarias (hipertensin) y se beneficiar igualmente una sbita inflamacin de las
estructuras oculares despus de una exposicin a la luz fuerte o a otros factores de tensin.
Es un gran remedio del dolor, rivalizando en este aspecto con Chamomilla y Coffea,
especialmente cuando el dolor es reciente, agravado por un enfriamiento o una emocin y
acompaado por la caracterstica tensin agitada. Los dolores que lo requieren son muy
intensos: desgarrantes, cortantes, acompaados a menudo por entumecimiento u hormigueo.
Pueden seguir la trayectoria de los nervios o concentrarse alrededor de las articulaciones.
En trminos generales, el paciente que necesita Aconitum no siente fro ni desea calor. Se
encuentra peor en una habitacin caliente. El aire fresco lo alivia, con la fiebre el calor de la
cama es intolerable y apartar las cobijas. Se siente mejor cuando est destapado. El reposo
mejora con frecuencia los sntomas, pero durante la noche, estando en cama, el dolor se torna
intolerable. La sed insaciable es un sntoma prominente: todo, excepto el agua, tiene sabor
amargo. Las afecciones que requieren Aconitum estn provocadas por exposicin a vientos
fros y secos, baos fros, calentamiento excesivo o exposicin al calor del sol. Las
perturbaciones emocionales como el miedo, los sustos o una conmocin afectiva, son
circunstancias causales importantes. La agravacin de las dolencias se agudiza a medianoche.
Siendo Aconitum un remedio de accin rpida y de alcance limitado, requiere, por regla
general, una repeticin bastante frecuente.
Aconitum napellus (Hahnemann)
(acon.)
(Monkshood.)
(The freshly expressed juice of the plant at the time of the commencement of flowering
mixed with equal parts of spirits of wine).
Although the following symptoms do not express the whole significance of this most
valuable plant; still they reveal to the thoughtful homoeopathic physician a prospect of
relieving morbid conditions in which traditional medicine has hitherto employed its most
dangerous methods, e.g. copious blood-letting and all its complex would-be antiphlogistic
treatments, often ineffectually, and almost always with disastrous consequences.
I allude to the so-called pure inflammatory fevers, in which the smallest dose of aconite
enables us to dispense with all the traditional antipathic treatments; and relieves rapidly and
without evil effects.
In measles, in purpura miliaris, and in the acute pleuritic fevers, c., its curative power is
marvellous, when, the patient being kept rather cool, it is given alone, all other medicinal
substances, even vegetable acids, being avoided, in the dose of a thousandth part of a drop
of the decillionth development of power.
It is seldom that a second similar dose is required thirty-six or forty-eight hours after the
first.
But in order to remove from our conscientious treatment all that routine practice which is
only too apt to regulate its treatment in accordance with delusive names of diseases, it is
indispensable that, in all morbid conditions in which aconite is given, the chief symptoms of
the malady, therefore also of the acute disease, should be found accurately reproduced among
the symptoms of aconite.
The effect is then astonishing.
It is precisely in the great acute inflammatory fevers in which allopathy chiefly plumes itself
as alone able to save life by means of bold, frequent venesections, and imagines that here it is
superior in curative efficacy to all homoeopathic treatment-it is precisely here that it is most
mistaken.
It is precisely here that the infinite superiority of homoeopathy is manifest, that it needs not
to shed a single drop of blood, that precious vital fluid (which the allopath recklessly draws
off in streams, to the often irremediable disadvantage of the patient), in order to transform
this dangerous fever into health in as many hours as the allopathic vitality-diminishing
treatment often requires months for the perfect restoration of those who are not carried off
during the process by death, or, at all events, in the chronic after-affections artificially caused
by the means employed.
In these acute cases of disease sometimes a homoeopathic intermediate remedy is required
for the morbid symptoms remaining after twelve or sixteen hours' action of the first dose of
aconite; but it is very rarely that a second dose of aconite is needed after this intermediate
remedy.
By means of aconite carefully administered in this way in a disease of the above-mentioned
character all danger is removed even in four hours, and the excited circulation resumes its
tranquil vital course from hour to hour.
Although aconite, on account of the short duration of its action (which in such small doses
does not exceed forty-eight hours), might seem to be useful only in acute diseases, yet it is an
indispensable accessory remedy in even the most obstinate chronic affections, when the
system requires a diminution of the so-called tension of the blood-vessels (the strictum of the
ancients).
On this subject, however, I cannot enter more fully in this place.
Its utility in such cases is shown by the symptoms it produces in the healthy subject, which
are partially recorded in the following pages.
Aconite is also the first and main remedy, in the minute dose indicated above, in
inflammation of the windpipe (croup, membranous laryngitis), in various kinds of
inflammation of the throat and fauces, as also in the local acute inflammations of all other
parts, particularly where, in addition to thirst and quick pulse, there are present anxious
impatience, an unappeasable mental agitation, and agonizing tossing about.
It produces all the morbid states similar to those seen in persons who have had a fright
combined with vexation, and is also the surest and quickest remedy for them.
In the selection of aconite as a homoeopathic remedy particular attention should be paid to
the symptoms of the disposition, so that they should be very similar.
Hence it is indispensable after fright or vexation in women during the catamenia, which
without this excellent soothing remedy are only too easily, often instantaneously, suppressed
by such emotional disturbances.
For this purpose a single momentary olfaction at a phial containing a globule the size of a
mustard-seed, moistened with the decillionth potency of aconite (which may be kept for this
use for years in a well-corked phial without losing its curative power) is quite sufficient.
Most of the apparently opposite aconite symptoms recorded below are merely alternating
states, and it may be curative by means of both but it is most so in respect of those which
have a tonic character.
Vegetable acids and wine antidote its effects, and so do other medicines which correspond
palliatively or homoeopathically to some of its troublesome symptoms (produced by too
large a dose or unhomoeopathic selection).

Aconitum cammarum (Allen)

Authority. Prof.C. D. Schroff, Einiges ber Aconitum in Pharmakognostischer,
Toxikologischer und Pharmakologischer Hinsicht, Geschrieben in december, 1853.
(Having obtained the original work, we deem it of sufficient interest to give these
experiments anew and in detail, which will be more satisfactory and complete than the
meagre, statement taken at second hand found in vol.i. )
- The first symptom is rumbling in the abdomen with eructations, after which the head
becomes dull, there appears a tense drawing sensation along the course of the trigeminus,
which then gives place to a shooting, wandering, very frequently interrupted, and finally
constant pain. The pulse begins to fall, to become irregular, small, and weak, the dulness of
the head increases, associated with weakness, prostration, and sleepiness, and a dull pain
within the skull. The pupils are at first unusually mobile, varying in size, but afterwards
become permanently dilated, associated with dim vision, so that she is unable to look at a
strongly illuminated body without blinking, and both near and distant objects become
confused.
- About forty minutes after the dose, there appeared a peculiar prickling sensation on the
tongue, which was at first quite similar to the effects of peppermint;it spread over the lips
and posterior portion of the mouth and fauces, then extended to the tips of the fingers and
toes, and over the face, and finally over the whole body. At the same time there was
increased secretion of saliva, the skin became cold, dry, and rustling. The crawling
continued to increase, and caused a most wonderful subjective sensation of distortion of the
face and the extremities, and constriction of the body. This was associated with
uneasiness;there seemed to be a tickling which compelled constant motion. In an even
temperature it diminished, but increased on changing from a cold to a warm atmosphere, or
the reverse. The headache and dulness of the head gradually diminished after two hours.
The prover experienced most unusual weakness, weariness, oppression, and anxiety, was
frequently obliged to yawn. Respiration constantly became more difficult and slower. This
was associated with a sensation as if the neck and chest were constricted. The pulse
constantly became more and more irregular, and fell below one-half of the normal,
frequently intermittent, and at last assumed a dicrotic type. The weakness reached such a
degree that the prover could not stand up, but was obliged to keep a horizontal position. The
anxiety increased, was associated with apathy, indifference to the whole world. The beat of
the pulse and heart at times omitted for several-seconds;respiration became more a catching
for breath. Skin constantly dry and icy cold. Taste and sensation diminished. On the places
where the crawling had ceased there set in a sensation of fuzziness, as in a finger which has
been tightly laced by a string;subsultus tendinum;involuntary stretching of the limbs.
Constant nausea and efforts to vomit, and at last, after five hours, repeated vomiting;after
this the whole condition essentially improved. Pulse and respiration became more rapid,
regular, the anxiety and depression decreased, and the whole body became warmer, and the
crawling ceased entirely, but instead of it there remained a certain insensibility of the skin, a
kind of fuzziness. The head was no longer painful and dull, but rather empty and confused,
as if intoxicated by sleep; the weakness remained, so that on attempting to rise the prover
became hot and dizzy, and there were flickering before the eyes, roaring in the ears, pain in
the head and face, nausea, and such weakness that he was obliged to lie down again to
avoid falling. The whole night was passed in this condition without sleep, only about 4 A.
M. he fell into a slumber lasting two hours. The whole next day the prover went about as if
half asleep;his memory and power of attention completely disordered, pupils dilated, pulse
at one time rapid, at another slow. After every mental or physical effort there appeared
dulness of the head and face. The tongue in the morning was coated, the taste pasty, the
whole skin cold and dry, diuresis very much increased.
(The symptoms given here appeared with the greatest constancy in three provings of the
root, both old and young, before and after flowering, in doses up to 0.1 gram, and caused in
the prover such distressing symptoms that he did not dare to) increase the dose.
- Heinrich's proving of the same dose showed so many peculiarities that I give it by itself.
- Schroff.
- Heinrich's pulse was at first a little rapid;after twenty minutes there appeared eructations,
scraping in the throat, dulness of the head, dilatation of the pupils with dimness of vision,
head heavy and confused. After forty minutes the crawling began, first upon the tongue and
lips, then over the face, whence it spread over the body. Together with the crawling there
was observed an itching in the skin, and a drawing up of the face;the skin was dry. After an
hour the headache and faceache began;the headache was aggravated by bending the body
forward;it afterwards became associated with ringing in the ears and vertigo. The pulse
became slow, fell from 62 to 51 within two hours, and was so small, weak, and intermittent,
that is was very difficult to count. Respiration was difficult, associated with a sensation as if
the chest was constricted. Secretion of saliva increased. On going home there appeared very
great weakness, and after walking about pain in the joints of the elbows, knees, and hips;
this pain was relieved, but not entirely removed by pressure. After about four hours the
pains in the head and face became very violent and spread over the rest of the body. The
followed a stool. The crawling increased and caused an inexplicable uneasiness, so that he
walked almost the whole night up and down the room, as if crazy. The skin was dry and
cold, respiration difficult, rapid, the pulse very slow(40).Violent eructations, effort to vomit.
Spasmodic constriction of the stomach and contraction of the abdominal muscles. On
walking about he had vertigo, roaring in the ears, and great sensitiveness to light. After the
crawling had ceased the epidermis of the face began to desquamate. Towards morning he
lay down on account of great weakness, soon fell asleep, and awoke warm and in
perspiration. At this time he had erections and emissions, but without voluptuous dreams.
The morning after the proving he seemed quite well, but at the college, where he was
obliged to stand, he became very weak, and the pains in the joints returned.
- In one proving, from the old root, some blisters developed on the skin of the lower
extremities, filled with serous fluid, and were very painful. The memory was very weak.
distinguish small objects by the feeling. This action is also different from that observed by
Dworzak, as it was less intense but there was more variety. The rumbling in the abdomen
was much less, but the itching of the skin, desquamation of the epidermis, pains in the
joints, perspiration, emissions, eruption of vesicles, extension of the pain in the face over
the rest body, were peculiar;on the contrary he had no vomiting, no retardation of
respiration no gasping for air, no constriction of the throat, no subjective symptoms of the
skin and extremities.
- A closer analysis of the symptoms follows:The rumbling in the abdomen and the
eructations which Another constant symptom was the pain in the head and face. The
headache seemed to be difficult to distinguish, especially as it seemed associated with pain
in the face and in character identical with it, having its seat in the scalp, , and involving the
distribution of the temporal, frontal, and supraorbital divisions of the trigeminus. The
faceache was always a drawing tense sensation, at times also a feeling of pressure;the upper
jaw seemed leaden and heavy; followed by single shooting-jerking pains along the course
of the isolated nerves;the pain changing about, till at last it became fixed. The second kind
of headache came one later, after the dulness of the head had passed off and the pulse had
decidedly fallen. This headache was associated with ringing in the ears, vertigo, etc.;and
was seated within the skull, and from smaller doses was only a dull pressing sensation
within the head;it was especially produced and aggravated by mental effort.
- The crawling was characteristic of the extract;except in those cases when the extract came
in contact with the tongue, it appeared for the first time when the pulse had fallen one-
quarter of the normal, and was associated with dulness of the head, pains in the head and
face. Its first indication was a peculiar biting and cooling sensation on the tongue, always
associated with increased secretion of saliva, after which there came on the crawling. The
symptom always observed a definite order;it always appeared first on the tip of the tongue,
then over the upper surface of the tongue and on the lips, extending to the posterior portion
of the mouth, then began in the tips of the fingers, then in the face, and above all in the
suprahyoid region and on the chin, then in the cheeks and tips of the toes, on the perinaeum,
chest, abdomen, and lastly, on the back. It was most violent in the forehead, least violent in
the latter regions. On observing attentively the order in which this symptom appears it will
be seen that it affects the different parts of the body in the same order in which Weber's
measure of touch determines the sensitiveness..The crawling cannot be described;it seems
like the result of pressure on the sciatic nerve, yet it is peculiar; it is not like formication,
prickling, nor tickling, but rather a mixture of all these. As already stated, it is aggravated
by change of temperature. I have not usually observed it on the throat. Only while eating it
seems to accompany the morsel through the oesophagus to the stomach;therewith the taste
is diminished.
- As regards the pulse, we found that in some provers it was first increased in frequency,
but after twenty minutes it sank below the normal, became small, weak, intermittent, and on
retardation, as in one case from 80 to 50, it became dicrotic. This dicrotic pulse, however,
was only noticed in the large arteries, mostly in the carotids, since in the radial arteries the
pulse, when slow, was so small, weak, and irregular, that it could scarcely be counted.
When the flat hand was placed upon the praecordial region it could be distinctly felt that the
heart did not contract at once. The pulse and beat of the heart, from large doses, very
frequently omitted entirely for a few seconds. In one case, from the extract of young roots,
in order to feel the beat of the heart more distinctly I lay upon the abdomen, and felt plainly
for some time a very violent irregular beating, which became weaker and weaker, then at
last it ceased entirely for some seconds, after which it became stronger, and so on. Soon
after vomiting the beat of the heart and the pulse became regular.
- As regards the disturbance of respiration, we find that in the beginning there was frequent
yawning, afterwards oppression, anxiety, gasping for air, with a feeling as if the chest and
throat would be constricted. At this time there were a very disagreeable feeling in the throat,
and nausea, so that the prover very frequently and involuntarily put is hand to the throat,
where the hindrance to the breathing seemed to be. Pereira mentions this motion without
being able to assign a cause for it. Previous to vomiting the respiratory movements were the
most difficult and the slowest, and the anxiety of breathing the greatest(associated with the
greatest retardation of the pulse);in one case the respirations fell to 8 in a minute; after
vomiting the respirations became more frequent, more rapid than normal. The respiratory
movements were very short, weak, and in shocks.
- The temperature of the skin during the first half hour after the dose was elevated;
especially the head and face were very warm, and in some cases I observed warmth in the
epigastric region;after this the skin always became cool and always remained so for six or
eight hours, even though well covered and heated. This coolness was not only subjective,
but was very perceptible to my colleagues. The skin was pale, the features distorted, the
sensibility diminished(I was able to pinch myself quite violently without experiencing
pain).
- As regards the subjective symptoms in the skin, they occurred at the same time as the
crawling, and have been noticed as a distortion of the face, etc.;they were most marked and
the most remarkable at first. They never entirely disappeared, and were always aggravated
by change of temperature.
- Muscular weakness made its appearance as a laxity of the joints. The movements of the
extremities seemed like those of a pendulum, with no action of the muscles, or better to
describe it, as if the muscular sense failed entirely. About two hours after the dose there
came on a peculiar weakness, so that after a dose of 0.1 gram of the old root, when in order
to relieve the increasing need of respiration, the room seeming too tight, and associated
with a sense of not enough air in it, I attempted to take a walk I was obliged to be supported
by a colleague in order to avoid falling. About six hours after the dose the weakness was so
great that I was obliged to keep a horizontal position.

that had been cold; worse, or caused by change of temperature and motion. From 7 to 7.30
p.m. , this annoying sensation, having changed from one nerve to another, reached its greatest
severity; it caused a painful unrest, so that he could not possibly lie more than a few minutes
quietly; constantly changed his position; would attempt to get up, but a few steps exhibited
marked weakness and prostration, with vertigo, blackness before eyes, trembling of whole
body, inclination to vomit; relieved at once by lying down (in two to four hours).

hot, without effect (in four hours).
- Temperature objectively and subjectively lowered; he lay one and a half hours by the hot
stove (second day).
- So tired he had to go to bed and be covered up warm, because the skin was cold objectively
and subjectively (in eighty minutes).
- Desire to get warm; he rose from the bed and tottered six steps to the stove; he remained by
the stove a few minutes (half sitting, half lying, with the head supported); warmth caused a
pleasant sensation, but there arose vertigo, flickering, trembling on limbs, oppression, and
nausea, so that he had to go back to bed, which relieved these latter symptoms (in four
hours).
- He could not divert himself of the idea that warmth would do him good; he went to the
stove again, with the same result as before; on attempting it the third time, he could not stand
up (in four hours).
- Desire for warmth; not being able to leave the bed, he had heated bolsters laid on his chest
and abdomen, and kept as quiet as possible (in four to six hours).
- Skin cold (second day).
- Skin cold, dry, rustling (temperature of room very high) (in two to four hours).
- * Calor mordax on forehead, chest, and hands, with sensation as if numerous glowing hot
wires were stuck into him; relieved by the perspiration (in four to six hours).
- In order to promote perspiration, he flexed and extended the arm as rapidly as possible;
after a minute, copious sweat, with calor mordax but instead of relief, he was attacked with
such weakness that he sank down exhausted; palpitation (in six hours).

ACONITINUM (Clarke)
Aconitina. Aconitine. Aconitia. C33 H45 NO12. Un alcaloide obtenido de las races y tallos
de Aconitum Napellus. Esta contenido en todas las especies de Aconite, excepto A.
lycotonum. (Aconitina alemana es amorfa; Aconitina francesa es cristalina, y 170 veces ms
fuerte que la alemana. Aconitina inglesa de Morson, es una preparacin secreta, que se cree
hecha de A. ferox. El alcaloide de A. ferox, difiere algo de la Aconitina vulgar,
qumicamente, y se llama seudo Aconitina. La Aconitina de T.H. Smith, de Edinburgo, es
probablemente idntica a la de Morson. Los sntomas de la de Morson estn indicados (M)
en el esquema).
Clnica.- Bazo, crecimiento de. Ceguera. Convulsiones. Disnea. Escalofro. Espasmos.

Esfago, espasmos de. Hemicrnea. Hidrofobia. Hgado, crecimiento. Landry, parlisis.
Lengua, afecciones de. Neuralgia. Odos, ruidos. Sordera. Ttanos. Trismus. Vmito.
Caractersticas.- Nuestro conocimiento de este alcaloide se deriva principalmente de casos de

intoxicacin por sobre-dosis. El entumecimiento, punzadas, picazn y calor de los
experimentadores de Acnito, son producidos por el alcaloide, pero con mayor intensidad. En
la aplicacin local, primero hay una sensacin de calor, despus de ardor y dolores agudos y
prurito; finalmente entumecimiento y anestesia. Los sntomas frecuentemente proceden de
abajo hacia arriba: "Una sensacin de picazn, hormigueo corre de la pierna a la columna y
cabeza, y hormigueo de los dedos." "Sensacin de fro como hielo sube desde los pies".
Temor de morir, angustia, intenso escalofro; sensacin de enfermo; sensacin de ardor
constrictivo, se extiende de la boca al estmago. Contracciones y espasmos en todo el
cuerpo, especialmente en cara. Todos los sntomas son > por vmito. En un caso de
intoxicacin "el vmito se present cada dos o tres minutos, y se present por una sacudida
sbita de los msculos abdominales, acompaado por un grito fuerte, probablemente
dependiendo de una sbita contraccin del diafragma. Cada intento de tragar fue
acompaado por contracciones espasmdicas tan caractersticas de la hidrofobia, pero no
eran renovadas al ver el agua. El ms ligero tacto renovaba el espasmo." Aconitina debe ser
de ayuda en casos de hidrofobia, ya sea de la clase convulsiva o paraltica. Los sentidos estn
alterados o perdidos visin, odo, olfato. En un caso de intoxicacin, la ceguera fue
coincidente con dilatacin sbita de las pupilas, y la visin retorn parcialmente as como las
pupilas se contraan. Una sensacin de peso, como de plomo, en todo el cuerpo. Todas las
partes, excepto la cabeza y estmago, las siente llenas como de plomo. Neuralgia del 5
nervio. Hormigueo en la cara con sensacin de hinchado y tensin. Dolores en el nervio
supraorbitario, fue especialmente prominente. Examen post-mortem mostr bazo muy
crecido; partes posteriores del hgado, obscuras casi negras. Riones hipermicos.
Los sntomas de Aconitina aparecen con gran rapidez, y se desarrollan con intensidad
extrema. Si ocurre la recuperacin, sta es rpida y completa. Hay una relajacin de las
extremidades y cada esfuerzo < los sntomas. < por esfuerzo mental; por agitacin. < por el
tacto. Posicin erecta causa nusea (M).

que produce en dosis corrientes, seguida de la elevacin de la presin arterial, de manera que,
en dosis infinitesimales, por inversin de su accin farmacolgica, se sugiere su utilizacin
como vasodilatador e hipotensor. Ha sido utilizado en aortitis subagudas y crnicas y en
anginas de pecho, siendo en estos casos el sntoma-gua una sensacin de constriccin
torcica con angustia. Pulso extremadamente rpido.

usado localmente en casos de hiperemia de la conjuntiva, desaparecindolo casi
inmediatamente, y as haciendo posible las operaciones. Parece poseer una accin local muy
poderosa sobre los vasos dilatados. Cuando se inyecta en la circulacin, aumenta la presin
sangunea, las arterias son contradas. El sistema muscular general se afecta, un ligero
estmulo produce contraccin prolongada.
Adrenalinum (Bouricke)
(Adrenalina; Una Secrecin interna de las Glndulas Suprarrenales)
Description
La adrenalina o epinefrina, el principio activo de la mdula de la glndula suprarrenal, (la
secrecin cortical todava no ha sido aislada), se emplea como un mensajero qumico en la
regulacin de las actividades del cuerpo; de hecho, su presencia es esencial para la actividad
del nervio simptico
La accin de la adrenalina en cualquier parte es la misma: estimulacin de las terminaciones
nerviosas simpticas
La aplicacin local [solucin 1:1, 000] en las mucosas, rpidamente ocasiona isquemia
transitoria, que se ve como un enblanquecimiento, que persiste por varias horas por una
instalacin conjuntival
Su accin es muy rpida, eficiente, se desvanece por su rpida oxidacin y por lo tanto,
prcticamente sin dao, a menos que se repita frecuentemente, se han observado en animales:
ateroma y lesiones del corazn-miocardio-
Se afectan prominentemente las arterias, el corazn, suprarrenales y sistema vaso-motor.
La accin principal de la Adrenalina es la estimulacin de las terminaciones simpticas,
notablemente el rea esplnica, causando constriccin de las arteriolas perifricas,
resultando un aumento de la presin arterial
Esto se observa especialmente en el estmago, intestinos; menos en el tero, piel;es raro en
cerebro y pulmones
Adems, se observa lentitud del pulso, (estimulacin del vago medular), y refuerzo del
latido cardaco(aumenta la contraccin miocrdica), semejante a Digitalis; aumenta la
actividad glandular, glucosuria; depresin del centro respiratorio; contraccin del tejido
muscular del ojo, tero, vagina; relajacin del tejido muscular del estmago, intestinos,
vejiga.
Usos
Su principal uso terapetico depende de su accin vasoconstrictora; por esto es un poderoso
y rpido astringente y hemosttico; es inestimable para detener hemorragias capilares en
cualquier parte, donde se posible aplicar localmente o en aplicaciones directas: nariz, odo,
boca, garganta, laringe, estmago, recto, tero, vejiga
Situaciones de hemorragia no debidos a defectos de coagulacin de la sangre
Puede producirse una falta de sangre completa, isquemia, impunemente
Localmente, soluciones[1: 1, 000:1: 10, 000] rociadas o aplicadas en algodn han sido muy
eficientes en operaciones sin sangrado en los ojos, nariz, garganta y laringe.
Congestin de los senos esfenoidales y etmoidales, tambin rinitis alrgica, han sido
marcadamente mejorados por rociado tibio de Cloruro de Adrenalina, 1: 5, 000
Comparar con Hepar 1x, que iniciar secrecin y facilitar el drenaje
Enfermedad de Werlhoff (prpura hemorrgica), hipodrmicamente, 1: 1, 000
Externamente se ha usado en neuritis, neuralgia, dolores reflejos, gota, reumatismo, en
pomada, 1-2 m
de una solucin (1: 1, 000), a lo largo del tronco nervioso en el punto de la piel ms cercano
a su origen posible (H. G
Carlton).
Terapeticamente, la adrenalina se ha sugerido en congestin aguda del pulmn, Asma
Enfermedad de Grave y Addison, arterioesclerosis, aortitis crnica, angina pectoris,
hemofilia, clorosis, rinitis alrgica, erupciones por suero, urticaria aguda, etc
El Dr. P. Jousset refiere xitos al tratar, homeopticamente, casos de angina y de aortitis,
subagudos y crnicos, cuando la adrenalina se prescribio por va oral y en dosis infinitesimal
Los sntomas que lo guan son stos: sensacin de constriccin torcica con angustia
Esto, con vrtigo, nusea y vmito ha sido producido por este medicamento
Dolor abdominal
Shock o insuficiencia cardaca durante la anestesia, y causa rpida elevacin de la presin
sangunea por su accin en las terminaciones nerviosas de las paredes de los vasos.
Dosis
Hipodrmicamente, 1-5 m. [solucin 1; 1, 000, como cloruro] diluido en agua
Internamente, 5-30 m
de una solucin 1: 1, 000.
Precaucin.- Debido a su afinidad por el oxgeno, el medicamento fcilmente se
descompone en soluciones cidas diluidas y acuosas
La solucin debe ser protegida del aire y la luz
No debe ser frecuentemente repetido, debido a las lesiones cardacas y arteriales
Para uso homeoptico, usar las atenuaciones 2x a 6x.

AESCULUS HIPPOCASTANUM (Nash)
Sensacin de plenitud y de latidos en diversos rganos y en las venas (especialmente en

pletricos ), como si estuvieran demasiado llenos de sangre.
Dolor de espalda obtuso y constante que se extiende al sacro y a las caderas; < al caminar o
al agacharse (hemorroides, leucorrea, desplazamientos uterinos, etc. ) .
Sensacin de plenitud y como de astillas en el recto (hemorroides).
Las mucosas de la boca, la garganta y el recto estn tumefactas: se las siente ardientes,
secas y como en carne viva.
Coriza: fluido acuoso y ardiente; sensacin como de carne viva y sensibilidad a la

inspiracin de aire fro.
Necesidad frecuente de deglutir, con ardor, pinchazos, picaduras, constriccin y sequedad

de las fauces. (Apis, Belladona).
Este es uno de esos remedios que no son tan notables por la magnitud de su campo de
accin como por su efectividad dentro de ese limitado campo. Casi toda la utilidad que
brinda, hasta donde sabemos, est concentrada en su accin sobre la parte inferior de la
columna vertebral y sobre la cavidad pelviana, siendo muy descollante esta caracterstica:
Dolor lumbosacro obtuso y constante, que afecta el sacro y las caderas, sumamente
agravado al caminar o al agacharse.
Es uno de nuestros principales remedios para las hemorroides y en tal caso, adems de esa
raquialgia, hay una sensacin de plenitud, sequedad y pinchazos como si el recto estuviera
lleno de astillas. No existe aqu la tendencia a la protrusin o al prolapso rectal que se
encuentra en Ignatia, Aloe, Podophyllum y en algunos otros remedios y el dolor lumbosacro
est a menudo muy fuera de proporcin con la apariencia externa de las hemorroides. Esa
sensacin de plenitud parece ser una especie de caracterstica general de Aesculus, pero ella
es especialmente ostensible en la cavidad pelviana.
Estos sntomas se encuentran muchas veces vinculados con otras afecciones adems de las
hemorroides, como por ejemplo: desplazamientos e inflamaciones del tero y tambin con
algunas formas muy serias de leucorrea que han sido prontamente curadas con este
remedio.
-En estas afecciones pelvianas se presenta otro sntoma de sumo valor, que reclama el
empleo de Aesculus: consiste en sensaciones de pulsaciones o de latidos. He visto efectos
igualmente positivos con el empleo de este medicamento en la potencia 3 y en las altas
dinamizaciones.
-Tambin he utilizado Aesculus con muy buenos resultados en el coriza agudo y en las
anginas. El primero es muy similar al coriza de Arsenicum: con mucosidades fluidas,
acuosas y ardientes; pero lo que caracteriza a Aesculus en este caso, es la sensacin de
carne viva, hay sensibilidad al aire fro inhalado.
En la garganta tiene la misma sensacin de carne viva, tanto en la forma aguda como
tambin en la faringitis folicular crnica, para la cual es frecuentemente un buen remedio.
Es muy posible que el tiempo y el uso clnico revelen nuevas aplicaciones para este
medicamento.

AESCULUS CARNEA (Vijnovsky)

(Red Chestnut, de Bach - Castao Rojo)
Su caracterstica mental fundamental es el miedo o preocupacin o gran ansiedad por otros,

por supuesto por personas que tienen una directa importancia para el ansioso. Siempre
piensan lo peor y siempre anticipan desgracias para los otros, por ejemplo, cuando alguien
tarda en volver a su hogar o ha salido de paseo o a sus ocupaciones corrientes.
Este medicamento es uno de los 38 denominados "Remedios florales de Bach" (con

excepcin de Agua de Roca), creados por su autor Edward Bach (el creador de los Nosodes
de Bach), a partir de una preparacin especial hecha con flores de especies vegetales
silvestres de Gran Bretaa. Cada uno de esos remedios presenta, para su prescripcin,
sntomas mentales ("espirituales", los denomina Bach), muy caractersticos y definidos, que
fueron asignados por Bach a cada medicamento a travs de verdaderas intuiciones y no por
medio de las clsicas patogenesias homeopticas. No obstante esa circunstancia, que parece
quitar valor a la seriedad de las afirmaciones de Bach, su utilizacin ha sido positiva y
eficaz, y sus resultados excelentes en toda clase de problemas fsicos y mentales, tomando
en cuenta como gua los sntomas "espirituales" que Bach asign de ese modo a sus
remedios, pero utilizndolos potentizados, tal como se estila en nuestra prctica
homeoptica habitual, en potencias desde la 30a. C. hasta la 1000a. o ms (Homeopactic
Recorder 1933 - Third Quarter - Pg. 151. Dr. Royal S. Hayes). En este Tratado daremos
sucintamente las caractersticas de cada medicamento. Para ms detalles, consultar el
"Handbook of the Bach Flower Remedies" por Phillip M. Chancellor.

AETHUSA CYNAPIUM (Nash)
Es uno de nuestros mejores remedios para los vmitos de los nios. Ni bien deglutida,
la leche es devuelta con grandes esfuerzos que dejan al nio muy lnguido y somnoliento, o
si la leche permanece ms tiempo en el estmago, es finalmente vomitada bajo la forma de
cogulos muy cidos y tan voluminosos que parece casi imposible que el nio haya podido
expulsarlos. Si este trastorno gstrico no es corregido, el enfermo evolucionar hacia el
clera infantil, con la aparicin de heces verdes, acuosas o mucosas, clicos y convulsiones.
Las convulsiones de este remedio presentan la particularidad de que los ojos se vuelven hacia
abajo, en vez de rotar hacia arriba o lateralmente. Si el caso contina siguiendo un curso
desfavorable aparece un aspecto de hundimiento de la cara y se presenta la lnea nasal, que
consiste en una superficie de blancura perlada en el labio superior, limitada por una lnea
ntida que se extiende desde la ventana nasal hasta la comisura de los labios. Este sntoma es
ms caracterstico de Aethusa que de cualquier otro remedio.
En Aethusa existe una completa ausencia de sed y aunque la postracin y la ansiedad

son tambin muy manifiestas, esa falta de sed indica Aethusa en vez de Arsenicum album.
Los vmitos de grandes cogulos (cidos) se encuentran igualmente en Calcarea

ostrearum, pero en este remedio tenemos al mismo tiempo deposiciones cidas, como
tambin encontraremos, por lo general, transpiracin de la cabeza, fontanelas abiertas y el
temperamento tpico de Calcarea.
Existe otro sntoma muy peculiar de Aethusa que, segn tengo entendido, ha sido
curado en dos ocasiones por este remedio y es el siguiente: La enferma se imagina que ha
visto una rata o una laucha corriendo por la habitacin. En los dos casos el sntoma apareci
en mujeres nerviosas y fatigadas, pero el trastorno era tan persistente como penoso. Aethusa
no solamente cur esa aberracin, sino que tambin mejor la salud general.
Siempre utilizo este remedio en la potencia 200.
AETHUSA CYNAPIUM (Lathoud)
Aethusa cynapium, o pequea cicuta, o falso perejil, planta anual de la familia de las
Umbelferas, crece en lugares cultivados o en jardines abandonados. A menudo es
confundida con el perejil y esta confusin ha dado lugar a graves accidentes; se la puede
reconocer por su tallo rojizo en la base, por sus hojas de un verde ms oscuro que el
perejil comestible y que exhalan un olor desagradable al frotarlas entre los dedos,
inversamente al olor aromtico a agradable del perejil comestible; por ltimo, se la
reconoce tambin por sus involucelas o verticilos de brcteas unilaterales colgantes.
La tintura madre, cuyas diferentes dinamizaciones se obtienen por dilucin hahnnemaniana,

se prepara con las puntas de los tallos en flor.
AETHUSA CYNAP. desarrolla particularmente bien su accin en el nio mediante

SNTOMAS CEREBRALES Y NERVIOSOS RELACIONADOS CON TRASTORNOS
GASTROINTESTINALES BIEN EVIDENTES tales como vmitos, diarrea pertinaz,
con facies hipocrtica, gran postracin, frecuentes convulsiones, tos que aparece
violentamente durante los calores del verano en nios con alimentacin mal balanceada y
a los que se les da demasiado pecho.
Una caracterstica del efecto del remedio es SU VIOLENCIA; as son los vmitos, las
convulsiones, los dolores y el delirio. Otra caracterstica del remedio es la
POSTRACIN Y SOMNOLENCIA; hay tanta debilidad mental como fsica y un
excelente sntoma mental lo constituye la INCAPACIDAD DE PENSAR Y FIJAR LA
ATENCIN; prescripto sobre la base de este sntoma, el remedio ha ayudado mucho a
escolares en su estudio (Clarke).
La postracin podr ser muy marcada como la de ARS. ALB. pero la ausencia de sed en
AETH. evitar confundir ambos remedios (Nash).
Finalmente, la INTOLERANCIA A LA LECHE, sntoma caracterstico, puede resultar el
sntoma ms importante del remedio, y es ms marcado en los nios, en los que la
encontramos principalmente DURANTE LA DENTICIN O DURANTE LOS
GRANDES CALORES DEL VERANO; LA LECHE ES VOMITADA NI BIEN
INGERIDA; LUEGO DE LO CUAL, POR LOS GRANDES ESFUERZOS
REQUERIDOS, EL NIO QUEDA DEPRIMIDO Y SUMIDO EN UN SOPOR o bien,
LA LECHE QUEDA UN TIEMPO EN EL ESTOMAGO PARA SER FINALMENTE
EXPULSADA EN GRANDES CUAJARONES CIDOS, a veces tan grandes que el
nio parece expulsarlos con dificultad; este estado puede conducir al clera infantil con
diarrea verde, clicos, convulsiones, atrepsia rpida y muerte.
Kent ofrece una buena descripcin en el siguiente caso de AETH, en el nio : "Bruscamente,
durante los calores del verano el nio ya no digiere la leche; antes que pueda ser
digerida, es vomitada y al mismo tiempo aparecen deposiciones lquidas amarillo-
verdosas; casi en seguida toma una facies hipocrtica impresionante, de una palidez azul-
blancuzca marcada sobre todo alrededor de nariz y labios, ojos hundidos, rasgos faciales
muy profundos, con aspecto moribundo; cae en profundo sueo del que despierta slo
para mamar nuevamente, pero en seguida vuelve a vomitar; la leche ingerida produce
otra diarrea y se vuelve a dormir aniquilado; y si no interviene AETH. el nio no tardar
en morir.
"A veces en medio de este estado puede haber convulsiones, delirio y excitacin".
Modalidades
A) Agravacin
De 3 a 4 de la madrugada y durante la maana; por el calor del verano.
Despus de haber comido o bebido ESPECIALMENTE LECHE. Despus de haber

vomitado, de defecar, de una convulsin.
B) Mejora
Al aire libre y acompaado.
Sntomas mentales
Es agotado, ansioso, grita, delira. Extrema postracin; gran debilidad; el nio no puede
quedarse sentado, no puede tener la cabeza derecha (ABROT.); postracin con gran
deseo de dormir. INCAPACIDAD DE PENSAR Y FIJAR LA ATENCIN; fatiga
cerebral (PICRI. AC.). Idiotez en los nios.
Inconsciencia, delirio, le parece ver ratas y ratones correr por la habitacin.
Cara
La cara muestra una expresin de gran ansiedad, de dolor; los rasgos son profundos,
marcados, la lnea que limita el labio superior desde los ngulos de las fosas nasales
hasta las comisuras labiales, est profundamente delineada. Facies hipocrtica.
Aparato digestivo
AUSENCIA COMPLETA DE SED, como en APIS y PULS., y a la inversa de ARS. ALB., lo

que permite su diferenciacin, pues ambos tienen la misma postracin y ansiedad
marcadas.
Marcada INTOLERANCIA POR LA LECHE; no puede digerirla bajo ninguna forma; la

vomita cuajada ni bien la ha ingerido; DESPUS DEL VOMITO, ESTA
EXTREMADAMENTE DEBILITADO, POSTRADO, EN UN SOPOR, IGUAL QUE
DESPUS DE LAS DEPOSICIONES O DE LAS CONVULSIONES.
Esta intolerancia por la leche relaciona al remedio con CALC. OSTR., MAGN. MUR.,
MAGN. CARB., SULFUR, CARB. VEG., etc. los que no obstante pueden diferenciarse
fcilmente de AETH. por sus caractersticas particulares. DIARREA ACUOSA, VERDE,
precedida de clicos, acompaada de tenesmo y seguida de gran postracin y profunda
somnolencia.
Convulsiones durante las cuales el pulgar se cierra hacia el interior del puo, la cara se
enrojece, los globos oculares estn bajos en vez de ser girados hacia arriba o al costado;
las pupilas estn fijas y dilatadas; hay espuma en los labios; los maxilares estn
apretados; el pulso es corto, lento y duro (Allen)

AETHUSA CYNAPIUM (Kent)
Antes de que Aethusa fuera conocida resultaban fatales cierta clase de clera infantil, y de
vmitos y diarreas en los nios, porque no haba un remedio semejante a estos casos tan
graves. La muerte est impresa en el semblante desde el comienzo, y si hay algunos
remedios en el texto que salvan la vida ste es uno de ellos. Se aplica en los casos en
que aparece repentinamente durante el tiempo caluroso en la infancia, con postracin
extrema. La madre no sospecha que el nio est enfermo hasta que lo toma de la cuna;
solamente unas pocas horas antes estaba bien; pero cuando prevalece el clera infantil
durante el tiempo caluroso, el pequeo llena su estmago con leche y casi antes de que
tenga tiempo de coagular la devuelve en parte en cogulos y en parte lquida, y
acompaando al vmito, hay una deposicin viscosa, amarillo-verdosa. El chico tiene
una apariencia como si fuera a morirse, cara descolorida, hay una palidez azul
blanquecina alrededor de los labios, los ojos estn hundidos y hay un estado sumido
alrededor de la nariz. La madre est asombrada y enva por el doctor a prisa. El nio se
hunde en un sueo agotador. Se despierta y otra vez llena su estmago de leche que
devuelve de nuevo en pocos minutos, parte en cogulos y parte lquido, y otra vez hay
un terrible estado de agotamiento con apariencia de muerte y sueo prolongado. Sin
Aethusa, en dos o tres das el nio morira. Esto es casi todo lo que hay que decir de
Aethusa.
Tiene delirio, tiene excitacin, tiene disturbios mentales de varias clases, pero son agudos y
acompaan a los trastornos del cerebro. Cierta clase de chicos se enferma con el tiempo
caluroso, en las noches caliginosas, y el cerebro se trastorna, y desde esta poca el
estmago deja de trabajar, los intestinos se relajan y cada cosa ingerida se devuelve o
pasa rpidamente. Esto sucede especialmente en aquellos nios que han sido
alimentados como la madre ignorante alimenta cada da a su nio, y por qu es eso?
Cada vez que llora ella lo pone sobre su pecho y lo alimenta. Bien, ahora. permtanos
pensar un poquito. Cada doctor debe pensar un poco, de vez en cuando. Ahora medite
un poco cuando eso es hacer algo acertado o una tontera. Toma alrededor de dos horas
o dos horas y media para el estmago comn del nio realizar una buena digestin de
la leche ingerida y debe tener un descanso de una media hora o algo as. Al cabo de tres
horas, cuando el nio llora, entonces est probablemente hambriento y necesita tomar
nuevo alimento. Cualquier intervalo ms corto de alimentacin que ste es una mala
prctica. Sera justamente la misma cosa si el nio tomase la mitad de una taza de leche
y la dejase digerir parcialmente, y al cabo de un ratito volviese a tomar un poco ms; y
luego a continuacin, volviese a hacerlo otra vez ms. Comenzara a arrojar la leche
agria y en el primer perodo caluroso aparecen trastornos mentales. Solamente los nios
ms fuertes resistirn estos malos mtodos. Yo he observado a estos nios y los he visto
mantenerse hasta el verano. El doctor debe tomar una decisin y hacerlo violentamente,
y hacerles ver lo que opina. La mujer de edad viene y dice: "Este doctor no sabe nada"
y el nio debe ser alimentado. Ahora Aethusa es adecuado en los casos en que el nio
ha sido mal alimentado. Est a la cabeza de la lista de medicamentos para esta dolencia;
esto es, cuando la digestin ha cesado absolutamente a causa de los trastornos
cerebrales. Hasta ahora los mdicos activos han descubierto la necesidad de este
medicamento, ha sido mayormente entre los nios, pero algunas veces los adultos
toman el estado de Aethusa, cuando la digestin ha cesado absolutamente por trastornos
cerebrales y por excitacin. Ha curado la dispepsia de la alimentacin constante, en
aquellos comilones, en aquellos camaradas hambrientos que siempre estn comiendo,
siempre masticando, siempre tomando galletitas de sus bolsillos hasta que llega el
momento en que el estmago cesa de funcionar. Conviene tambin en los casos de
indigestin a causa de inconvenientes cerebrales, con la cabeza caliente, vmitos,
agotamiento, sudores y sueo prolongado.
Aethusa tiene convulsiones en nios. Algunas veces los trastornos del cerebro no afectan al
estmago, pero el chico hace convulsiones, con manos hmedas semblante mortecino,
y el sudor, agotamiento y sueo. "Convulsiones, gran debilidad y postracin, con
somnolencia. Malestar del nio despus de vomitar y despus de evacuar, con
convulsiones".
En el paciente de Aethusa hay mucho en el aspecto externo como para indicar un

medicamento; as puede verse mucho y es de observacin, y as se necesita poco
interrogatorio, que puede darse una especie de prescripcin a primera vista aunque no
es recomendable. Un mdico activo, que conozca verdaderamente su materia mdica, y
haya estudiado sus principios, con el tiempo har lo que parezca prescribir
instantneamente, pero realmente no hace eso, sino que rene muchos datos que los
extraos no perciben. Aethusa entonces se muestra a si misma en lo externo, mientras
en muchos medicamentos nada se observa superficialmente, porque ellos se
manifiestan en sensaciones internas o ms profundas. Djenme exponer un caso ante
Uds. para ilustrar esto. Por ejemplo, invite a un compaero de apariencia robusta, que
se declara a si mismo totalmente bien, a almorzar con Ud. Durante cierto tiempo Ud. ha
advertido que su nariz est despellejndose siempre. Nunca habla sobre su salud. Bien
pronto, mientras almuerzan, la puerta golpea y pega un salto. Ese es el segundo punto.
Entonces l cuenta lo mucho que come, qu bien que le hace, qu bien que se siente
despus de comer y Ud. se entera que l come en gran forma. Ud. no le ha dicho una
sola palabra sobre su salud. Ud. no le ha preguntado para que le diga de cualquier
sntoma. Finalmente le acerca el jarro de leche y le dice, "Oh, yo no puedo beber leche;
si yo tomo leche me da diarrea; jams pienso en tomarla". Quin no podra prescribir
para esta persona an sin llevarlo a su consultorio: Quin no pensara en otra cosa
excepto que en Natrum carb. para un caso como ste? Algunas veces Ud. puede
encontrar fuera del consultorio la historia clnica completa de un paciente obstinado con
llevarlo a cenar.
AETHUSA CYNAPIUM (Farrington)
Aethusa cynapium es un veneno terrible, teniendo propiedades narcticas, as como

efectos paralizantes. El principal uso que podemos hacer de esta droga, proviene de su
accin sobre el estmago. Produce nusea mortal y mareo con vmito. Si se trata de un
nio, los vmitos consisten en leche cuajada que es con frecuencia verde. Despus del
vmito, el nio cae hacia atrs agotado y se duerme. Despierta hambriento, como y vomita
nuevamente. La cara est plida y hay crculos obscuros alrededor de los ojos. Su anlogo
en este estado, es Antimonium crudum, que difiere de Aethusa por la capa blanca de la
lengua. Hay otro medicamento y es Calcarea ostrearum o Calcarea actica, que produce
vmitos de leche cuajada y el nio est propenso a la diarrea siendo las evacuaciones de
olor agrio.

Caractersticas.- Los sntomas de Aethusa particularmente bien definidos, de hecho la

violencia es una de las caractersticas de sus acciones vmito violento, convulsiones
violentas, dolores violentos, delirio violento. Por otro lado hay postracin y
somnolencia. "perejil de los bobos" no ha recibido su nombre por nada es una medicina
para "bobos". Hay una gran debilidad de la mente y el cuerpo. Un sntoma muy
caracterstico es: incapacidad de pensar y fijar la atencin. Guiado por este sntoma, lo
di a un estudiante preparndose para un examen, que lo termin con xito. Estaba
compelido a dejar de estudiar, pero fue capaz de terminar y pas un brillante examen.
Un pequeo nio en un horfanatorio sufra de severas jaquecas e incapacidad de fijar la
atencin en sus lecciones, le mand una sola dosis de Aethusa, a intervalos espaciados,
con una gran mejora. El pequeo muchacho peda la medicina por s mismo
subsecuentemente al retornar los viejos sntomas. Otros sntomas mentales son: idiocia;
en algunos casos alternados con furor. Alucinaciones. Delirio; ve gatos y perros; quiere
saltar de la cama o salir por la ventana. Irritable, especialmente al aire libre. Guernsey
dice: "Los sntomas peculiares a los nios, y frecuentemente de adultos, son, gran
angustia y gritos. As como la enfermedad progresa, el paciente se vuelve ms y ms
alejado en sus disposiciones, y ms inclinado a llorar." Somnolencia. Chochez. Otra
marcada caracterstica es: intolerancia a la leche; vomita todo lo que toma,
especialmente la leche que es arrojada en cuajarones amarillos o verdosos. Hay gran
debilidad y agotamiento despus de vomitar; el nio est tan agotado que se duerme
inmediatamente. Despierta con hambre, come, y vomita otra vez. "Hambre despus de
vomitar", es el Keynote aqu. Tambin se agarra de alguien con la diarrea, vmito,
llanto. Para adultos que se quejan de regurgitaciones de alimentos una hora despus de
haberlos tomado, Aethusa, dice Guernsey es invaluable. Tambin vmito copioso en
adultos, con gran sensacin de malestar; no puede decir qu malestar, pero existe.
Adultos se quejan de una sensacin como si el estmago se volteara, acompaado de
sensacin de ardor hasta el pecho. Dolores desgarrantes en el estmago se extienden al
esfago; abdomen tenso, inflado, sensible. Hay una erupcin herptica en la punta de la
nariz. Junto con los sntomas gstricos, hay una expresin peculiar de gran ansiedad y
dolor (Linea nasalis), una superficie de blanco perlado sobre labio superior rodeada de
lneas marcadas de la nariz a los ngulos de la boca. Otros sntomas son: sensacin de
hinchado en la cabeza y cara al entrar a un cuarto. Crnea hundida. Ojos convulsos y
fijos hacia abajo. Duerme despus de ataques. Sensacin de hinchado en las manos
despus de caminar. Convulsiones con extremidades fras. Los dolores son lancinantes.
Hinchazn de glndula mamaria o ganglios axilares con dolores lancinantes.
Postracin; estupidez. Todos los sntomas < de 3 a 4 a.m. Calor causa prurito
intolerable en todas las erupciones. As como Bov. y Ast. r. los sntomas son < por el

Aethusa cynapium (Allen)
- The experiments detailed below throw so much doubt upon the various cases of
poisoning attributed to Aethusa that we have concluded to throw them out entirely.
- Indeed it seems established beyond any possibility of doubt, that the
- Our own experiments prove this conclusively; in New York we had the co-operation of
thirty or forty individuals, who took varying doses of the expressed juice of the plant
without the slightest effect. The editor himself drank it by the wineglassful. A few
experienced some disturbance: these are given in detail. It was not attempted to make a
proving, as in that case the potencies would have been tried; we only desired to verify Dr.
Harley's observations as to the poisonous nature of the herb. Our preparation was obtained,
through Messrs. Boericke & Tafel, from Leipzig, and was accompanied by a certificate of
genuineness from the Director of the Botanic Gardens. The expressed juice preserved by a
small per cent. of alcohol.

- * I. By John Harley, M.D. , St. Thomas's Hospital Reports, New Series, Vol. IV, 1873, p.
80.
- The observations have been made with the juice of the entire plant; with tinctures
prepared from ripe and green fruit; with a fluid extract prepared with the view of separating
any cynapine or other active principle that may have been left in the plant after the
expression of the juice, and with the oleo-resin.
[_a2]: Observation 1.
- J.W. , a weakly young man, troubled with frequent seminal emissions, took 3 1/2 fluid
drachms of the Aethusa juice, and, having sat still for the first hour, strolled out during the
second. At the end of an hour the oscillating pupils contracted a very little more than they
were observed to do before the dose, but beyond this there was no effect whatever. 4 fluid
drachms of Succus conii produced a moderate effect upon this patient.
- John T.B. , aged twenty-two, the subject of sexual debility from excessive self-abuse, but
otherwise strong and healthy, and in whom 6 drachms of Succus conii produced moderate
coneism, took the Aethusa juice for a time, in doses increased from 90 minims to 4
drachms, an hour before breakfast every other day. No effects whatever followed.
- * Observation 3.
- Clara L., an active but slightly developed child, aged seven, the subject of interstitial
keratitis, and in whom 6 drachms of Succus conii produced only moderate effects, took two
doses, one of 3 drachms and the other of 4 drachms, of the Aethusa juice, about two hours
after breakfast, on separate days. Beyond a slight temporary rise of pulse, due to the
alcohol, there was no effect. The patient subsequently took tincture of the fruit.
- (See Observation 10).
- * Observation 4.
- W.W. , aged nineteen, an active healthy lad, troubled with frequent seminal emissions. 6
drachms of Succus conii, 30 minims of Succus belladonna, and 1 grain of Opium, always
produced their appropriate effects in a moderate degree upon this patient. Beginning with 1
1/2 drachms, and rapidly increasing the dose to 1 ounce, he took the latter quantity of
Aethusa juice every second or third day for about, a month. Effects were carefully looked
for, but none were appreciable, either to the patient or to myself.
- * Observation 5.
- Henry H., aged seventeen, a strong active youth, troubled with frequent seminal
emissions, took Conium for some time, and a fluid ounce of the Succus always produced
moderate coneism. On one occasion I gave him 7 drachms of the Aethusa juice, and kept
him sitting under my observation for two and a quarter hours. Just previously he had
walked to my house, and the pulse was 86, the pupils slightly oscillant and contracting to
1/6", and the tongue whitish, and moist, with an acid secretion. After forty-five minutes the
pulse was 82, full and regular, as at first. The pupils and tongue were unchanged. After an
hour and a half the pulse was 80, and otherwise unchanged. The pupils were now oscillating
between 1/6" and 1/7". After two and a quarter hours the pulse was 74, regular, and of
natural volume and force; the pupils were 1/6", dilating a little, as before the draught; the
tongue was unchanged, and the secretion acid still.
- Two days afterwards 9 drachms of the Aethusa juice were taken, the pulse being 86 and
the pupils 1/6". After forty-five minutes the pulse was 88, full and soft; the pupils fairly
steady, and contracting to 1.7". After one hour the pulse was 80, otherwise unchanged; the
pupils still 1/7". After two and a quarter hours pulse 72, regular, of initial volume and
power; the pupils 1/6". The tongue remained unchanged throughout.
- After an interval of eight days I gave him 11 drachms of the Aethusa juice, two hours
after a hearty meal, and watched for effects under the same conditions as before, the pulse
being 84 and the pupils 1/6". After an hour and a quarter the pupils were unchanged and the
pulse had risen to 82, but was not appreciably altered in volume or force. After two hours it
was 80, and of initial volume and power, and the pupils was still 1/6". At the end of this
time the patient passed fziiiss(?). of urine (having emptied the bladder just before taking the
dose), of sp. gr. 1032; excepting that it contained an excess of uric acid it was normal.
Neither on this nor on any previous occasion did the patient himself experience any effect.
- * Observation 6. @O0 George W., aged seventeen, a well-developed and moderately
strong young man, the subject of epileptic aura. Upon this patient 30 minims of Belladonna
juice, 1/30 of a grain of Atropia, 4 drachms of tincture of Henbane, 6 drachms of Succus
conii, and a mixture of 4 drachms each of tincture of Henbane and Succus conii, severally
produced their proper effects in a moderate degree. Failing to get benefit from either of
these remedies or the bromides, I gave him the Aethusa juice, beginning with 1 -drachm
doses every morning before breakfast for eight days, then 3 drachms increased to 4
drachms, for six days more.
- A fortnight afterwards, in the evening, I gave him a single dose of 7 drachms, and he
remained quiet for the next two hours. The pulse before the draught and after a walk to my
house was 84, the pupils 1/6", the tongue clean, and with alkaline mucus. After forty-five
minutes the pulse was 85, unchanged. After two hours the pulse was 70, and of natural
volume and force; the pupils and tongue remained unchanged throughout.
- After an interval of six weeks the juice was again given in doses of 1 ounce, increased to
1 1/2 ounce every morning, an hour before breakfast, for a month. During the next nine
days he took three doses, each consisting of 2 ounces of the thick juice. Effects were
carefully watched for as often as the dose was increased, but both the patient and myself
failed to observe any.
- During the eight months which partly preceded and included the time of this treatment,
the daily fits averaged 4 6/10, never exceeding five, nor falling below two. On the days
when he took the largest dose (2 ounces) of Aethusa juice he had the full number (5) of fits,
and on the intermediate days four. This was probably due to the alcohol.
- * Observation 7.
- E.B. , aged twenty-one, a strong healthy young man, in whom 6 drachms of Succus conii
produced slight coneism, took the Aethusa juice for a fortnight, in doses increased from 1
ounce to 2 ounces, every other morning before breakfast. The patient failed to experience
any effect, nor could I detect any, except after one dose (an ounce and a half) a doubtful
contraction of the pupil.
- The following observations were made after a dose of 2 1/2 ounces taken with as much
water, the pulse being 78, pupils 1/6", and the tongue clean and moist. After taking the dose
the patient strolled out for forty-five minutes, and then sat quietly during the rest of the
time. At the end of an hour the pulse was 78, regular, and of initial force and power, the
pupils were slightly contracted (?), the tongue unchanged. After two and a quarter hours the
pulse was 68, otherwise unchanged; the pupils slightly contracted, measuring nearly 1/7",
the mouth unchanged.
- * Observation 8.
- George L., aged nineteen, the subject of chronic spasm of the right arm, but otherwise
healthy, and in whom 6 drachms of Succus conii produced moderate effects, took 2 fluid
ounces of the Aethusa juice, and three days afterwards 4 fluid ounces for a dose. On both
occasions effects were carefully watched for during the three hours following each dose.
Excepting slight somnolency, due to complete rest of mind and body during this interval,
and to some extent probably to the alcohol, no effects were appreciable, either to the patient
or myself. This patient took other preparations of Aethusa. (See Observations 12, 14, and
15.)
- * Observation 9.
- I took tincture of the nearly ripe fruit, in doses varying from 1/2 fluid drachm to 6 fluid
drachms, without experiencing any effect.
- * Observation 10.
- The subject of Observation 3, a little girl, seven years old, took this tincture diluted with a
little water, in doses increased from 1/2 fluid drachm to 1/2 fluid ounce. Excepting a slight
rise of pulse at the end of an hour, due to the alcohol, no effects followed any dose.
- On one occasion, just after she had walked a distance of two miles, and two hours after
breakfast, the pulse being 120, and the pupils 1/8", I gave her 6 fluid drachms, and kept her
sitting during the next two hours. After one hour the pulse was 98 an normal, and after two
hours 96. The tongue and pupils were unchanged throughout, nor were any effects felt by
the patient.
- * Observation 11
- I have taken the tincture prepared from ripe fruit, in doses ranging from 1/2 fluid drachm
to 1 fluid ounce, without experiencing the slightest effects.
- * Observation 12.
- George L. (see Observation 8) took on one occasion 6 fluid drachms of the tincture, and
an another 1 fluid ounce. No effects followed either dose.
- I took 1 fluid ounce of the tincture prepared from the green unripe fruit, and experienced
no effects.
- * Observation 14.
- George L. (see Observations 8 and 12) took 2 fluid ounces of this tincture, and sat still for
the three hours following. Excepting the slight stimulant effect of the alcohol, there were
absolutely no results.
- * Observation 15.
- George L. (see Observations 8, 12, and 14) took the fluid extract in doses of 1/2 drachm,
1 drachm, and 2 drachms; not the slightest effect followed either dose.
- My observations at present extend no further. I may mention that no trace of gastric
irritation or any other effect, immediate or subsequent, occurred in any case. The results,
therefore, are merely negative. The slight contraction of the pupil observed in some cases
was probably due to the stimulant effect of the alcohol in steadying an oscillating pupil.
- The largest dose of the juice given was 4 ounces of the spirituous mixture, which is
equivalent to 3 ounces of the fresh juice and to 6 ounces of the fresh herb.
- The maximum doses of the tincture of the ripe and nearly ripe fruit was 1 fluid ounce,
equivalent, in either case, to 90 grains of the fruit.
- The largest dose of the tincture of the unripe fruit was 2 fluid ounces, equivalent to more
than 300 grains of the fruit.
- * Observation 16.
- 10 grains of the oleo-resin, obtained partly from the herb and partly from the fruit, were
taken in solution by a healthy adult. No effects whatever followed.

- * Proving of Aethusa by Thomas Wildes.
- January 14th, 1876, 1 A. M.
- Took of 0? 1 drop in a tablespoonful of water on retiring to bed. General peripheral
sensation of warmth within five minutes.
- 6.30 A. M. Wakened with strong sexual desire, and a feeling of glow over the entire body.
I took 1 drop on the tongue, with an instantaneous sensation of nausea, confined to the
mouth and pharynx. Reacted more freely than usual from my shower-bath.
- 7.30 A. M. 1 drop and same sensation of nausea.
- 9 A. M. 1 drop and same sensation of nausea.
- 10 A. M. 1 drop and same sensation of nausea.
- 11 A. M. 1 drop, sensation of nausea extended down the oesophagus and into the
stomach, with rumbling and gurgling in the stomach and upper bowels, and a sensation of
fluttering motion in the stomach. Metallic slimy taste in the mouth with dryness. Nausea,
and general feeling in the stomach as if I had been on a spree last night. Forehead feels
constricted, and yet a sensation of pressure as from within outward.
- Took 1 drop with less immediate nausea.
- 12 M. Took 1 drop.
- 1 P.M. Took 1 drop.
- 3 P.M. Took 1 drop; heat and pressure in forehead.
- 5 P.M. Took 1 drop; sensation of stuffiness in perfectly sound right ear, with feeling of
coldness in it, around and behind the same, seeming to be in the bone.
- 6 P.M. Took 1 drop; no sensation.
- 7 P.M. Took 1 drop; aching in left mastoid process.
- Have noticed all day that excretions (urine and perspiration) are increased, and secretions
decreased. I also felt all in a glow, and perspired easily when walking home in the cold to-
night.
- 9 P.M. Took 1 drop; a feeling in stomach and bowels as if diarrhoea was coming on.
- 11 P.M. Took 1 drop; skin of hands dry and shrunken, as if they had been washed in lye,
especially on the palmar surface.
- 12 P.M. Took 1 drop and retired; no symptoms to note.
- January 15th, 6.30 A. M. Awoke with an intense frontal headache, with sensation of
constriction from points vertically over each eye; relieved by pressure. Quantity of urine
diminished. I took 2 drops; no sensation.
- 8 A. M. Took 2 drops; headache better.
- 9 A. M. Took 2 drops; headache gone.
- 10 A. M. Took 2 drops.
- 11 A. M. Took 2 drops; sensation of tension as of a band passing around the forehead and
made fast at each zygoma.
- 12 M. Took 2 drops; sensation as if I had caught cold and a violent coryza was coming
on.
- 1 P.M. Took 2 drops; sensation of heat and fulness in the face, and pressure in the frontal
sinuses and upper nasal passages. Nausea. General headache. Excessive flow of pale urine.
- 2 P.M. Took 2 drops; face feels better.
- 3 P.M. Took 2 drops; face feels well, but is beginning to look peaked and hollow-cheeked.
Slight headache. Feet and limbs cold nearly to the knees.
- 4 P.M. Took 2 drops; coldness of limbs more marked.
- 5 P.M. Took 2 drops.
- 6 P.M. Took 2 drops; slight nausea.
- 7 P.M. Took 2 drops; slight nausea.
- 11 P.M. Took 2 drops; sharp cramps in the small intestines, localized in spots, and quickly
shifting from place to place.
- 12 P.M. Took 20 drops and retired.
- January 16th, 7 A. M. Wakened with a sort of seething feeling in my blood, and a heavy
aching pain in my back across my kidneys; also a pain between my shoulderblades. Feeling
as of an indigestible load in my stomach. Quantity of urine normal. Took 20 drops.
- 8 A. M. Before eating breakfast I drank half a goblet of milk (contrary to custom, as I
never drink milk); no effect. Waited five minutes and took 20 drops without effect, except a
feeling as of a load in the stomach and an indisposition to eat, although appetite was
average fair. Food all tasted alike, in fact, was nearly tasteless. I swallow, as though to keep
something down, but without nausea. Waited ten minutes after taking the milk and the 20
drops, before eating breakfast.
- 11 A. M. Have noticed since breakfast a marked sensation as of a load in the stomach and
upper bowels, as though the process of digestion was not going on properly for want of
sufficient gastric juice. Mouth and lips dry. Urine decreased. Skin had a dry, white, leathery,
pinched look; cheeks are sunken; clothes seem loose. Sexual desire diminished.
- I can conceive that this drug might produce vomiting from a weak stomach, it the proving
was pressed, by reason of its retardation of the secretion of the gastric juice, and thus
causing the food to act as a foreign body in the stomach. But it will not make me vomit.
- January 16th, 2 P.M. Gave 5 drops to Mrs. P. just before she commenced eating dinner.
She at once complained of a heated, flushed feeling, as if she had taken a glass of liquor,
with a sensation of nausea. After waiting five minutes, she had drank some milk at once,
she had to go into the open air to keep from vomiting. At the expiration of another five
minutes I gave her 5 drops more, followed by 2 fluid ounces of milk, and this was followed
in two minutes by 5 drops more. She at once sought the kitchen, retched violently, and
threw up a lot of phlegm, but phlegm only. At the expiration of ten minutes I gave her 5
drops more (20 drops in all), which again made her deathly sick, but she could vomit only
phlegm. Throughout this time she felt a constant nausea, and had a sensation in the upper
bowels as if she had taken a dose of medicine which was working. The eyes got watery and
the face flushed and hot.
- I certify that the foregoing is correct in every particular.
- MRS. SARAH PACK.
- The above statement was written down immediately after dinner, from Mrs. P.'s statement
and doings made at the time in the presence of a table full, and was signed by her after she
had heard it carefully read aloud.
- THOMAS WILDES.
- January 16th, 6 P.M. I gave 5 drops to Mr. H. before he commenced eating his supper. He
at once complained of a feeling of heat all through the body, and a perspiration broke out on
his forehead. He then drank 2 fluid ounces of milk, and three minutes afterwards I gave him
5 drops more (10 drops in all, in five minutes), when he complained of nausea, metallic
taste in mouth, and headache in the forehead, shooting up over the eyes. He did not vomit,
and in a few minutes ate his supper.
- Mr. H. reports this morning, January 17th, that he still feels a slight sensation of nausea,
with warmth and an uneasyensation in the oesophagus and stomach, and a metallic taste in
the mouth. He had an increased flow of urine this morning, of a sweet odor. Up to 12
o'clock, last night, he had a heavy undefined sensation in his head like a general headache,
with intermittent pains in the forehead, located vertically over each eye, in lines. The
metallic taste was very marked up to that hour, and also the sensation of nausea, which
extended from the fauces to the stomach, combined with great warmth covering that entire
region, spreading out laterally, and extending down into the upper bowels, together with
pains in the stomach and upper bowels, as though caused by something hard and
indigestible. He describes the pains which he had over his eyes as shooting pains, starting
above the eyes and going upward and slightly outward; thus ???????? .
- I certify that the foregoing is a correct statement of symptoms experienced by me this
morning, and from 8 to 12 o'clock last evening, after taking ten (10) drops of a medicine
from Dr. Wildes at 6.30 P.M. , in addition to symptoms I felt immediately, and which he has
recorded.
- J.L. HURD.
- Mr. Hurd is a young gentleman in excellent health, knows nothing of homoeopathy or the
proving of medicines, and when he took the doses was not aware that the medicine was
expected to do anything except make him sick at his stomach.
- These points he noticed himself, and this morning described them to me in very nearly
the language which I have given above.
- As a verification of his symptoms I would add that I felt nauseated all day yesterday,
January 16th, at the sight of food, although I was no longer taking the drug; and I had the
continued sensation of a hard ball or load in the stomach, which latter I have at this
moment; yet I could eat.
- When I retired to bed, at 1 A. M. (this morning), I quickly had numerous fine sharp
stabbing pains, lasting five minutes, and some of which were so sudden and violent that I
was forced to exclaim with pain.
- I have recorded throughout only such symptoms as were sudden, unexpected, and
evidently came from the drug.
- * Proving of Aethusa by E.H. Linnell.
- I received an ounce of Aethusa, which I have taken, but without any very marked or
satisfactory results.
- I commenced with it last Friday, and during the day I took about 1 drachm, in frequent
small doses. The only unusual feeling was a slight uneasiness in the stomach, as if a
precursor of an attack of gastric catarrh. During the day I drank quite a good deal of milk
my meals. I took no more of the drug till Saturday afternoon, when I took it every fifteen
minutes for nearly four hours. I commenced with 10 drops, and increased the dose 10 drops
each time, so that the last time I took 120 drops, and 670 in all. I felt a decided weight and
heaviness in the stomach, which lasted about two hours, but there was no nausea, although
after taking the last of it, I made a meal mostly of bread and milk. I have a very strong
stomach, and very seldom suffer from indigestion, so that I feel confident that the
sensations I have mentioned, though meagre, were caused by the drug. Perhaps I should
state that I took the medicine each time on Saturday, in more or less water, according to the
dose, and it is possible that the water caused the sensation of weight, rather than the drug,
although I hardly think that was the case.
- * Proving of Aethusa by Ernest P. Macomber.
- I put 24 drops of this drug into twenty-four teaspoonfuls of water, taking one teaspoonful
every five minutes, till all was taken, with the following results. On counting my pulse,
after taking the third dose, it had decreased from 76 beats per minute to 72. After taking the
sixth dose, pulse 69, and I also noticed a slight constricted sensation about head. After ninth
dose pulse 66. After twelfth dose pulse 62. After eighteenth dose pulse 60 and soft in
character. After twenty-fourth dose pulse soft in character, beats 57 per minute, also slight
nausea, and a loose discharge from bowels, of a yellow color and sour smell.
- * Proving of Aethusa by Dr. St. Clair Smith.
- Took at 3.30 180 drops. Immediately, burning in mouth, throat, and oesophagus, with
profuse salivation and secretion of mucus in both mouth and throat; this copious flow of
mucus continued for some fifteen or twenty minutes, with qualmishness, and was followed
by a feeling of dryness of tongue and throat. Burning in stomach from the beginning, but
gradually increasing, accompanied by eructations of a rancid taste, causing burning in
oesophagus and throat; heartburn, lasting some time after the eructation, with an inclination
to spit and clear the throat. Some nausea, with waterbrash, of sour hot fluid; at one time
vomiting seemed inevitable. Later, an uncomfortable qualmish feeling in stomach, hardly
amounting to nausea, also of pain in forehead, a sort of crampy feeling, with disposition to
contract the brows.
- Deepseated sensation of coldness in the upper part of abdomen, in region of transverse
colon. Later, aching in malar bones, principally the left (crampy). Pain in forehead
increased and is decidedly uncomfortable. Occasional aching in back of head. Pulse
(usually 76) 90 (after two hours), . Face flushed (after two hours). Vertigo, great dizziness
(soon). Aching in brows, a feeling of constriction. Rapid sticking-shooting pain in left
temple and left ear, at 9 P.M. ; continued till I went to bed. Weight in stomach, and
uncomfortable feeling of indigestion, with uprisings of food and hot liquid; the uprisings of
food tasted spoiled. Pain in bowels as if diarrhoea, would follow, but it did not. A crampy
constriction in heart, with a feeling as though I could not take a long breath; felt pulse to see
if it was irregular; it was not; the same pain soon after in right chest. Aching in small of
back.
- III Dr. Brugmans took a few grains in the morning. There followed violent headache
thirst, efforts to vomit, sticking pain in the epigastrium, cutting pain and flatulence, desire
to sleep, and during the whole day a general cold feeling. Sleep was very restless for the
first hours.
- IV. Dr. Tournon took by mistake some in salad. He awoke with colic, vertigo, and
weakness. Tea and a few glasses of wine removed the symptoms.

Mind
Emotional
- The effects may be described in the same terms as apply to the effects of passes into a
state of narcotism, with stupefaction, [a4].
- Violently excited, [a29].
- He became furiously excited, and it required several persons to control him; he was
forced upon a bed, but on being awakened he again became very much excited; indeed, so
much so that cold water was dashed over him, [a32].
- She became much excited and talked strangely; afterwards was seized with delirium and
carried home in that state; she remained so, except at short intervals, for three days; friends
afraid to leave her, [a21].
- Every indication of great cerebral excitement, [a19].
- There was altogether so much excitement that his attendant was alarmed, [a8].
- Became delirious about an hour after she got home; this lasted all night, [a20].
- In attempting to walk upstairs in the evening of the third day, she stopped suddenly,
screamed so as to alarm the family, and complained of faintness and the pain in her head;
some aberration of mind was now manifest, and in the course of the night she became
delirious, screaming and evincing alarm at imaginary dangers; more comfortable next
morning under remedies prescribed, but during all the day she gave decided proofs of
mental incoherence, which continued to increase; when any subject was introduced, she
spoke rationally upon it for a moment, and then referred to some other, frequently to the
experiment with Ether; her nights became sleepless, and were spent in screaming and loud
talking upon all subjects, until she sank rapidly into a comatose condition, [a30].
- She conversed incoherently at intervals, introducing strange topics, and had sometimes
been observed to laugh immoderately without any assignable cause, for several days before
I saw her; when I visited her, she was capable of conversing upon any subject, introduced in
so rational a manner that the hallucination might have been overlooked by an uninterested
observer; I noticed, however, that she conversed with clearness only so long as the subject
was kept before her mind with some care, [a31].
- He pretty soon fell into a state of intoxication, during which he talked extravagant
nonsense, danced about the room, laughed, and appeared to be very much pleased; but his
condition was far removed from narcosis in its ordinary sense, [a41].
- The sensations induced are almost universally described as pleasurable, and much
resemble those resulting in the early stages of alcoholic intoxication, [a5].
- By some, pleasant dreams, indescribable but delightful sensations, rapid
- Most agreeable and even most sensual dreams; women sometimes pass into a state of
ecstasy; some see God and angels; others fancy themselves again with the companions of
their childhood, [_a1].
- He immediately lost consciousness, and had a host of lively illusions, principally
consisting, it seems, of theologico-mystical conceptions, in which, however, as is the case
in opium and hashish smoking, there was a complete disregard of matter, time, and space;
he believed he had travelled through whole worlds and had lived for an infinity of time, and
yet, when he awoke, his candle showed that he could scarcely have been narcotized a
quarter of an hour; the Ether bottle was empty, although he did not remember taking it more
than once in his hand. When he repeated the experiment, the dream-world into which he
lulled himself was not so splendid, not so rich in colors and images, as that of the first
narcosis; and however often he endeavored to conjure it back, by larger and larger doses, it
would not reappear, [a41].
- The character of his hallucinations was, from the first, and has and has thus remained
dependent on his prevailing disposition, [a41].
- The little child dreams of his playthings; the sportsman is following the hounds or
catching imaginary salmon; the gamekeeper we have known to dream of a conflict with
poachers; the laborer that he is getting drunk in a pothouse of which he is an habitu; in
females, especially of a warm temperament, emotions have been manifested which are ill
adapted for general inspection; in some it was evident by their movements that they were
under the influence of the highly developed sensations of the venereal organs, [a33].
- A Provenal talked about his native country, [_a1].
- A horse-jockey dreamed that some one was trying to steal his horse, [_a1].
- A woman in labor fancied herself in the conjugal abode, and called to her side a student,
whom she took for her husband, [_a1].
- Frightful dreams; a man fancied he heard the ringing of his own funeral knell, [_a1].
- She said; I felt, when the tooth was coming out, as if I was having a horrid dream. [She
gave a scream during the operation.], [a18].
- She had a dream, and thought she was at the bar of judgment pleading for mercy, and that
God Almighty was punishing her for her sins, [a22].
- As with other narcotics, so even more with Ether, the disposition to hallucinative action
appears to present individual differences; and a susceptibility of this kind, such as our
patient has possessed, in a more or less distinct form, from the first day till now, may well
be attributed in part to an alienated direction of his disposition or development-to a slight
psychosis; this he has himself acknowledged, [a41].
- Loquacity, [_a1].
- He muttered like a man intoxicated, [a29].
- Greater inclination towards silence than formerly, [a31].
- When the numbness seizes the subject, a great tendency to gayety is generally shown;
there is spasmodic, jerking laughter, which is followed by copious tears, [_a1].
- The greatest variety of the effects upon self-consciousness, and of the degree in which the
recognition of surrounding objects is retained, are reported; with many, the hilarity induced
quite equals that produced on the inspiration of Nitrous Oxide, [a5].
- Anxiety, [a17].
- Very low-spirited, and fearful of some disease; and was still nervous and desponding after
two months, [a35].
- Fright and delirium, [a17].
Intellectual
- The intellect is both tranquillized and fortified, [a39].
- Judgment was retained unimpaired to such a degree that he lost none of the sensations he
wished to analyze; moreover, when the anaesthesia was most complete, so that he could
prick himself without feeling, it, he willed to walk and did walk [_a1].
- The intellect is often disordered, but the subject does not always lose self-consciousness.
In one case, the experimenter retained full possession of his faculties; while giving way to
convulsive laughter, he himself compared it to the barking of a dog, and was quite aware
that he was acting foolishly, [_a1].
- For some time, much confused, [a18].
- Answered questions with a weak voice, though remembering nothing which had passed,
[a38].
- Semi-consciousness; the patient raised himself to a sitting posture and looked about him
with a vacant stare, the conjunctiva being very red and suffused, [a12].
- Although he seemed to be aware that people were talking to him, he had no consciousness
of what was really passing around him, [a12].
- She lost consciousness in three or four minutes after inhaling; felt no pain, [a20].
- She became stupid, with a weak pulse and heavy stertorous breathing; her strength failed
more and more, and she died fifteen hours after the operation, [a38].
- A state of almost profound stupor, [_a2].
- In many, as total a temporary suspension of all the mental faculties and cerebral functions
as in the most profound sleep, nothing being remembered, after the few first inhalations,
until the period of returning consciousness, [a11].
- At the first trial, after breathing fifteen or twenty minutes, she became comatose for two
hours; at the second trial, she became comatose in four minutes, recovering rapidly, [a37].
Head
Confusion
- In a great majority of cases, the only effects afterwards are, slight muzziness of the head,
sometimes amounting to headache, odor and taste of Ether in the mouth and nasal passage,
[_a3].

- Dizziness, [a35].
- Dizziness, just enough to amount to slight vertigo when the standing posture has been
attempted, [a39].

blindness, which lasted three days, [a30].
- She complained of great pain in her head, which was relieved by free cupping, [_a2].
- Intense pain in the head, [a10].
- Aching of head and dizziness for a few minutes, when senses returned, [a20].

Pupil
- * Pupils dilated, [a10, a14].
- Pupils dilated and fixed, the eyes turned upwards (after ten minutes), [a29].
- Pupils dilated, fixed, and did not act during the whole time, [a22].
- The pupils became widely dilated, this state being apparently not preceded by contraction
(in seven minutes, when 150 cubic centimeters (about four ounces) of Ether had been used),
[a41].
- Pupil oscillates, with a tendency to turn upward and inwards, [a33].
- Contracted pupil, [a9].

vapor with real eagerness; he afterwards assured us that he had had a pleasant narcosis,
[a41].

- The appetite for solids is visibly diminished when any considerable amount has been
inhaled shortly before a meal, [a39].

- Nausea and vomiting in the evening, [a22].
- Sickness, [a7].
- She complained of sickness and distress of the stomach, [a21].

seven hours; stimulants were immediately rejected by the stomach, [a34].
Respiratory organs
- Slight bronchial irritation, [_a3].
- Inhalation is accompanied by a sensation of stinging or heat in the bronchia, which
excites coughing, [a33].
- Cough, [_a1, a38].
- Violent coughing, [a17].
- Violent cough and spitting, [a9].
- Spitting of blood, [a18].
- She raised blood from her lungs, it was supposed about a pint; bleeding soon ceased
(second morning), [a20].
- Breathing rapid for a short time, when effect first produced, and then became natural,
[a26].
- Respiration is quickened, and the face becomes red; then the inspirations the face then
regains its quiet expression and natural color, [_a1].
- Respiration was hurried (after five minutes); deep and slow, but free from stertor (after
ten minutes), [a29].
- Full and frequent respirations, [a31].
- The respirations were deep, and increased from eighteen to twenty-five in a minute,
[a41].

strong smell of Ether, [a41].
- Laborious breathing, [a17, a19].

- The respiration, bearing a due relation to the frequency of the pulse, becomes labored and
stertorous, [a14].

Heart and pulse

Praecordium
- Heart and lungs greatly oppressed, [_a2].
Heart's action
- Excitement and invigoration of the action of the heart, which seems to continue
throughout, [a4].
- Protracted failure of the heart's action, [a7].
Pulse
- Rapid pulse, [a9].
- The pulse is at first, accelerated, and afterward falls, but rarely to the natural standard;
respiration seems to follow the same rule, [_a3].
- The circulation at first became rapid, then slow and feeble, [a14].
- First effect upon the circulation is to accelerate it; the pulse subsequently falls, and in the
third period loses power as well as frequency, [a33].
- Small, frequent pulse, [a41].
- Pulse full, hard, and bounding, [a10].
- The pulse, hitherto weak and low, became full and strong, and remained so as long as the
narcosis continued, increasing in frequency at the same time from 72 to 80, [a41].
- Pulse commenced sinking rapidly, [a34].
- Pulse very feeble and weak in the evening, [a22].
- When felt, the pulse was found to be soft, full, and very slow; it suddenly ceased to beat,
and the patient was dead, [a29].
- The pulse, as we ascertained by the sphygmograph, was not once changed, nor was there
any alteration in the urine, [a41].

- Pulse 100, with much throbbing of the carotids (third day); 140 (tenth day), [a30].
- Pulse natural in the morning, 76; rose to 84 previous to inhalation during inhalation,
rapidly increased to 140, but before inhalation ceased, it became small and feeble, [a26].
- Being much excited, her pulse rose to 130 (before inhalation); 70 (after inhalation), [a18].
- Pulse 120, [a12].
- Pulse 98, small and tense, [a31].

- Convulsive movements of the limbs, [a10].
- Spasmodic rigidity of the limbs, [_a1].
- His arms were stretched; his fingers extended, [a12].
- Arms fall relaxed, [a33].
- A slight imperfection in her gait terminated in paralysis of the lower extremities, after
some time, and she became helpless, [a31].
- Severe cramps in the legs, [a12].
General symptoms
- His whole aspect was so indicative of misery, that he would have been put down as one of
the wretchedly poor, were it not for the unusual contrast between his aspect and his
distinctly formed speech, and for the fact that (as was at first thought) there was a
remarkably strong smell of alcohol in his breath; the patient, however, explained that he did
not smell of alcohol but of ether, and the peculiar sweetness and mildness of Ether vapor
was then easily recognized, notwithstanding its strength, [a41].
- His appearance altogether was so distressing, as to excite great
- General appearance like one going into a state of epilepsy, [a18].
- To appearance, the energies of mind and body were nearly extinct, [_a2].
- The individual, to the common eye, seems to be sinking into the
- Perfect quick, [a33].
- Agitation of the system, [a17].
- An affection of the nervous system approaching apoplexy, [a16].
- Hysterical excitement in women for some hours, and even for a day or two, [_a3].
- In the evening (after several hours) he complained of some difficulty about his chest,
when, all at once, he fell from his chair, exhibited great restlessness, tossing about of the
arms and legs, with great difficulty of breathing, but no loss of consciousness, declaring all
the time he could not get his breath for the Ether, and that he should die; his hands and feet
were said to be cold; various restoratives were applied in vain; it was evident that it was a
case of violent hysterics, unusually well marked in a male; he would laugh and joke, then
express fears of impending suffocation, with jactitation, declaring that as vapor of Ether
was heavier than air, he ought to be held up and allow it to run out of his lungs; several
doses of Morphine had no effect; it was only after several hours that he could be quieted; he
had never previously exhibited any tendency to hysteria, [a36].
- She was in a state of unconsciousness, and became quite unmanageable; she required two
persons to hold her; I lanced her gum, without any sign of pain, and she recovered her
sensibility immediately; she again inhaled, and, when under the influence of the Ether,
some excitement returned, and on drawing the tooth with the claw, she cried "Oh!" but, on
coming to herself, stated she had had no pain, [a23].
- He appeared to have much suffering, throwing his body almost out of the chair, [a19].
- Muscular tremors, [a41].
- Trembling of the whole frame when consciousness returned, [a20].
- Subsultus till twelve hours before death (after three days), [a30].
- General shocks, involving all the muscles of the trunk, [_a1].
- Violent nervous attack, [a38].
- Convulsions, [a7].
- Convulsions supervened, attended with slight stertorous breathing, and other symptoms
of an alarming character; he gradually recovered, but suffered from the effects for some
time afterwards, [a8].
- Limbs and trunk were strongly convulsed for five minutes; limbs relaxed (after ten
minutes), [a29].
- Incipient convulsions, [a9].
- After the operation, she bent her body backwards and sank out of the chair; she began to
cry, and consciousness returned, but in a short time she again lapsed into a state of
unconsciousness, with convulsive movements of the muscles; she again got better and
attempted to walk but could not; the convulsions returned; there were convulsive
movements of the muscles of the left side of the face; the angle of the mouth was drawn
upward; after half an hour the convulsions became stronger, spasmodic twitchings of the
muscles of the face more frequent and more violent, [a10].
- Slight spasm (tenth day), [a30].
- Opisthotonos, [a10].
- He was perfectly cataleptic; after applications of cold, and administering brandy and
water, these cataleptic symptoms were succeeded by severe hysteria, with about the same
degree of consciousness as is usual in that disease, [a12].
- Muscles universally relaxed, [a14].
- General muscular relaxation, affecting the limbs, also the eye, the ball moving about and
evading the needle or the cataract knife; also the muscles of the perineum during labor,
[_a1].
- The voluntary muscles become relaxed; the jaw falls down; the arms hang down; the eyes
roll upward under the upper lid, [_a3].
- The muscles lose their power of retraction (during amputation); they are
- Temporary depression of the vital powers, [_a3].
- Weakness, [a35, a41].
- Weakness, and disposition to faint on the slightest attempt to walk lasting several days
(after two days), [a36].
- General prostration, [a17].
- Felt nothing for several minutes, but on a sudden appeared to lose all muscular power,
[a12].
- He attempted to rise, but tottered like a drunken man, and suffered a degree of exhaustion
and giddiness which lasted until he was taken to bed, [a12].
Objective
- Staggered about the room (soon), [a12].
- Disposition to faint and fall down, [a35].
- They exhibit all the marks of intoxication; they fall, without the power of raising
themselves, become insensible to all operations performed on them, and either recover soon
when the experiment ceases, or sink if it be prolonged, [a13].
- Syncope, [a16].
- The state of the brain during this period was peculiarly distressing; there were alternate
manifestations of excitement and depression of the sensorial powers, at one time
resembling syncope, and again like violent intoxication, until the boy died, [a28].
- M. Jobert and others have attempted to indicate three stages in its effects; first, that of
incoherence, agitation or delirium, as the case may be; second, acceleration of the pulse,
with loss of sensibility and loss of voluntary power; third, exhaustion and coldness of the
surface, [a6].
- The average duration of the state of sleep or insensibility may be stated to be about the
same as the period required to induce it, or a little less, say from two to four minutes; the
period, however, occasionally exceeds this, extending sometimes to half an hour or even an
hour; the awakening is sudden and complete, [_a3].
- Several persons who were to be operated on next day, were subjected to preparatory
inhalations, by which they were completely narcotized; sensation, voluntary motion, and
consciousness were abolished, yet, when repeated at the operating time, the experiment was
a failure, [_a1].
- Great uneasiness, [a38].
- Remarkable restlessness, in the period of reaction, ceasing in twenty-four or forty-eight
hours, [_a1].
- Evident restlessness, mostly of the head and upper extremities, [a31].
- So much restlessness, that it was impossible to perform the intended
Subjective
- In some refractory subjects, sensibility was heightened instead of being depressed, [_a1].
- The next day she inhaled it ten minutes prior to the operation, which lasted half an hour,
and during which she manifested great pain, declaring afterwards that she felt every cut
made; she was conscious from this time until her decease forty hours afterwards, but spoke
in a low, faint voice, [a37].
- Perception of external objects fails, [a33].
- Skin was not sensible on being sharply pinched, [a22].
- Complete and instantaneous abolition of tactile sensibility; this effect is not constant, but
is pretty general; it is accompanied by a diminution of voluntary contractility; it affects the
most deeply seated parts of the nervous system, [_a1].
- The functions of the brain and nervous system are suspended, sensation is annihilated,
and the patient, to all intents and purposes, for the time being, is a senseless corpse, [a14].
- Loss of sensibility; but drunkenness, attended by vomiting and other symptoms not
consequent on inhalation, supervened in both cases, [a15].
- The instant the knife touched her, she cried out, put her hands down to the part, and
betrayed other marks of uneasiness; after half a minute to a minute, the operation was
proceeded with, and signs of apparent suffering were not to be mistaken, so much so, that it
induced some gentlemen present to imagine that the operation was felt, and the patient was
aware of it; after the operation was completed, and on awakening to a state of
consciousness, and being asked if she suffered any pain, she expressed no knowledge of
any, [a22].
- One person becomes as impassible as the subject on the dissecting-room table; another
talks incoherently or mirthfully, replies to questions or obeys instructions; others utter
exclamations of pain, which they afterwards retain no reminiscence of having felt; and
others, again, declare they have suffered pain, but felt themselves powerless for its
expression; finally, in not a few, ungovernable, violent convulsive actions, quite adverse to
the performance of any delicate operation, take place; with some, an utter oblivion is
induced; while others, whilst undergoing all the apparent tortures of a prolonged dissection,
are revelling in the realms of memory and the fields of imagination, [a5].
- Ill, and much dejected (third evening), [a20].
- After repeated experiments, a general malaise replaces the agreeable feeling experienced
at first, [_a1].
- His sensations were so dreadful, that he would rather undergo any amount of pain than
submit to the same again, which he could compare only to a state of utter helplessness and
impending dissolution, [a12].
- He felt irresistibly disposed to lie down and get his head upon the ground, [a12].
- He seemed to take leave of the external world, but experienced a dreadful sensation of
universal tremor, and yet a perfect fixedness of the limbs, [a12].
- Sensation of numbness, beginning at the toes, and affecting, in succession, the legs, arms,
loins, and genitals; it extends to the head, and is then accompanied with a sense of heat, as
from intoxication, [_a1].
- By a few, a sense of great oppression, resembling nightmare, [a11].
- The distressing symptoms continued for more than an hour, [a12].
Skin
- The skin of the face, as well as that of the chest, of a violet-red color (after ten minutes),
afterwards livid, [a29].
Sleep
- After inhalation, all the usual phenomena of the deepest sleep supervene occasionally
upon, if not actually lapsing into, coma, [_a3].
Fever
Chilliness
- Much distressed with a sensation of cold, [a12].
- Cold and chilly in the evening, [a22].
- Shivering; chattering of the teeth, [_a1].
- Cold extremities, [_a1].
Heat
- Skin hot (third day), [a30].
- Agreeable feeling of heat, accompanied by formication and a kind of tremor similar to
that felt on touching a large bell in a state of vibration, [_a1].

AGARICUS (Nash)
Las orejas, la nariz, la cara y la piel en general, estn rojas y con prurito como si hubieran
sabaones.
Contracciones espasmdicas en los prpados (especialmente), en la cara y en las

extremidades, y an sacudidas coreicas, que cesan durante el sueo. Columna vertebral
dolorosa y sensible al tacto; dolor obtuso que se propaga a los miembros inferiores.
Agaricus posee algunos sntomas cutneos muy caractersticos. "Las orejas, la nariz, la
cara, los dedos de los pies y la piel en general, estn afectados de un enrojecimiento,
prurito y ardor como si estuvieran congelados." Este es un sntoma de gran valor y puede
conducir a la eleccin de este medicamento en numerosas y muy diferentes enfermedades.
Suelo emplear este remedio desde hace un buen nmero de aos contra los sabaones, con
resultados sumamente satisfactorios, utilizndolo siempre por va interna y a la potencia
200.
-Es asimismo un remedio de primordial importancia para las contracciones espasmdicas,

que van desde las simples contracciones en la cara, los prpados (especialmente) y las
extremidades, hasta los casos serios de corea. En esta ltima enfermedad las contracciones
cesan durante el sueo.
Se ha mostrado igualmente til para la irritacin espinal y donde estn mejor expuestos los
sntomas que lo indican en esta afeccin es en la Enciclopedia de Allen.
Sin ninguna duda hay exageraciones en las experimentaciones de este medicamento y,

como consecuencia, muchos de los sntomas registrados no son dignos de fe. El mejor
trabajo que podra hacerse actualmente sobre este remedio es el de eliminarlos, si fuera
posible, "probando todo y quedndose con lo verdadero".
AGARICUS MUSCARIUS (Lathoud)
Agaricus Muscarius, llamado tambin Amanita Muscaria, o Agaricus Matamoscas, o falso

Fungus, es un hongo del gnero amanita y de la familia de las Agaricneas. Es muy comn
en Francia y Norte de Europa, lo mismo que en el Asia; se lo encuentra en lugares secos
donde crece preferentemente.
Posee un alcaloide altamente venenoso, la muscarina, y por su semejanza con el agaricus

aurianticus u hongo verdadero que es comestible, da lugar a graves errores, provoca
grandes envenenamientos. Tampoco hay que confundirlo con el agrico blanco o polyporus
officinalis, de empleo conocido para calmar las transpiraciones de los tsicos.
El Agrico Blanco, tambin denominado Polyporus Officinalis Fries (Basidiomicetas), es

un hongo que crece sobre los abetos y las malezas de los Alpes y el Delfinado. Encierra,
adems de una especie de resina, un principio activo: la agaricina o cido agaricnico, cuya
accin farmacodinmica puede sintetizarse de esta manera : se ejerce principalmente sobre
el bulbo raqudeo y centros vaso motores a los que excita, produciendo en ellos la elevacin
de la tensin sangunea y la reduccin del tono cardaco, al que paraliza en seguida con
cada de tensin. Agota la secrecin sudoral paralizando, segn Hofmester, el sistema
nervioso perifrico de las glndulas sudorparas. Hay que anotar que no acta sobre las
secreciones salivares o intestinales, a las que parece dejar indemnes. Sin embargo a veces se
nota una hipersecrecin salivar y sobre todo intestinal, pero ello es probablemente debido a
que se ha empleado agaricina impura, mezclada con la resina de la planta, de efectos
drsticos.
Para preparar el remedio, se procede a limpiar el pie y el sombrero del hongo, luego se los
corta en pedacitos que se ponen a macerar en alcohol; la tintura madre as obtenida, sirve
para producir las sucesivas dinamizaciones.
Agaricus parece ejercer su influencia EMBRIAGADORA como el alcohol, el opio o el

hachich; la exaltacin con desordenes funcionales que conducen a la supresin de la
actividad, a causa de este tipo de EMBRIAGUEZ, se manifiesta no slo en los centros
cerebrales sino tambin en otras partes del sistema nervioso; los NERVIOS SENSITIVOS
pierden lo que Hughes denomina su poder de resistencia; ejerciendo la ms leve presin
sobre cualquier punto del cuerpo, persiste la sensacin de dolor an despus que la presin
ha cesado.
Los NERVIOS MOTORES sufren grandemente; las contracciones coreicas muy marcadas
son otra consecuencia de la accin de AGARIC., y tambin se han desarrollado en ciertos
experimentadores sntomas de afeccin medular profunda que se transmiten principalmente
a las vas motrices.
AGARIC., parece envenenar tambin LA SANGRE; se han notado numerosos sntomas de
alteraciones septicmicas en los individuos que estn bajo su influencia venenosa.
Por ltimo, y como otra consecuencia de su accin, LAS MUCOSAS estn irritadas y se
cubren de una mucosidad amarilla, mientras SOBRE LA PIEL SE DESARROLLA una
erupcin liquenoidea con prurito, picazn y sensacin de quemadura.
Caractersticas
CONSTITUCIN Y TIPO: AGARIC., conviene a individuos rubios o castao claros con

piel y msculos blandos. Tambin se prescribe a menudo a personas ancianas, cuya
circulacin es dbil e indolente (Allen).
Es particularmente til en los bebedores, especialmente para sus dolores de cabeza y las
secuelas de todo exceso (LOBELIA, NUX VOM., RANUNC.) (Allen).
ESPASMOS, SACUDIDAS MUSCULARES Y TEMBLORES: Puede encontrarse este

importante grupo de sntomas en cualquier parte del cuerpo, afectando a cualquier grupo de
msculos. Estos espasmos o sacudidas musculares pueden originar verdaderos sntomas de
COREA para cuyo tratamiento AGARIC. se menciona en primer lugar: MOVIMIENTOS
COREICOS MUY VARIADOS; SENSACIN DE COMEZN EN LOS PRPADOS O
CUALQUIER OTRA PARTE DEL CUERPO, COMO SI DICHAS PARTES SE
HUBIESEN CONGELADO; PRPADOS EN CONSTANTE MOVIMIENTO Y
COLUMNA VERTEBRAL SENSIBLE AL TACTO. SACUDIDAS EN GRUPOS
MUSCULARES VARIADOS; INCOORDINACIN DE MOVIMIENTO, DEBILIDAD
GENERAL Y TEMBLOR. He aqu un conjunto de sntomas muy marcados en el
medicamento y la resultante casi constante de su accin sobre el sistema nervioso.
Podemos evocar otros medicamentos juntamente con AGARIC. para el tratamiento de la

corea: ARS. ALB. es til en los casos obstinados de corea, en que se agrega un particular
sntoma de inquietud en las piernas, obligando al paciente a cambiar de lugar los pies
frecuentemente, o caminar para calmarse
CIMICIF., cuando la corea afecta sobre todo los movimientos del costado izquierdo y
cuando la enfermedad est asociada a mialgias, o es consecuencia de un desplazamiento
uterino. CROCUS es el medicamento de las histricas con constricciones coreiformes de
ciertos grupos musculares. CUPRUM para las coreas peridicas con movimientos
convulsivos que comienzan con los dedos de las manos o los pies, o en los mismos pies,
para extenderse progresivamente en seguida a todo el cuerpo. IGNAT. es til en la corea de
origen emotivo. MYGALA LASIOD, presenta el siguiente cuadro sintomtico: tendencia a
debilidad mental o depresin; dolor intenso en la frente; constricciones y espasmos
constantes en los msculos de brazos y piernas, preferiblemente del lado derecho; falta de
control muscular; cuando el paciente trata de pone la mano sobre la cabeza, al llegar a ella
su mano es violentamente proyectada hacia adelante, atrs o un costado; cuando realiza un
esfuerzo para hablar sus palabras salen bruscamente, como una explosin. STRAM. es el
remedio para la corea de eclosin violenta; la expresin facial cambia continuamente, de
repente re, de repente parece asombrado, saca la lengua rpidamente; la cabeza sufre un
movimiento alternante que la lleva hacia adelante o hacia atrs; movimientos de torsin
espasmdica en todo el cuerpo, extremidades sin cesar en movimiento y giros graciosos;
puede haber tartamudeo, se asusta fcilmente, despierta aterrorizado o estando dormido
levanta espasmdicamente la cabeza de la almohada. TARENTULA tiene movimientos
espasmdicos constantes en todo el cuerpo, tan violentos que a veces debe permanecer
acostado. Puede haber localizacin en pierna y brazo derechos; los movimientos persisten
durante el sueo; agravacin, por el ejercicio y el tacto, mejora por la msica. VERAT. VIR.
es til cuando adems de contracciones espasmdicas se presentan las caractersticas
propias del remedio. ZINCUM MET. es el medicamento de la corea que aparece despus de
un susto o por supresin de una erupcin; las sacudidas son peores al atardecer, despus de
haber bebido vino o durante el reposo; constante agitacin de los pies. ZIZIA (THAPSIUM
AUREUM) se prescribe cuando los movimientos coreicos prosiguen durante el sueo.
Sensaciones particulares
SENSACIN DE REPTACIN, DE ESTREMECIMIENTO, COMO HORMIGAS QUE

CORRIESEN, no slo a flor de piel sino en lo ms profundo de los msculos.
SENSACIN COMO SI LE TOCASEN Y PINCHASEN CON AGUJAS DE HIELO.
Modalidades
A) Lateralidad
Dolores en diagonal; izquierda superior y derecha inferior.
B) Agravacin
AL AIRE FRO; muy sensible al fro; por la maana; antes de una tormenta; POR EL
ESFUERZO MENTAL; el prurito, ardor, pinchazos pueden ser desencadenados por
ejercicio mental intenso, y se calman por el movimiento. POR EL COITO; todos los
sntomas de AGARIC. se agravan por la relacin sexual, especialmente los que interesan a
la mdula; es muy til para las casadas jvenes que padecen un desfallecimiento histrico
despus de la relacin sexual.
Otros remedios que presentan esta agravacin: CALAD., CHINA, KALI CARB., NUX
VOM., PHOSPH., POSPH. AC., SELEN., Y SEPIA.

Sntomas mentales
INDIVIDUOS QUE DAN LA IMPRESIN DE DESARROLLO CEREBRAL TARDO;

NIOS QUE TARDAN EN APRENDER, HABLAR Y CAMINAR, combinando en su
psiquismo los caracteres de otros remedios: NATR. MUR., que tarda en aprender a hablar, y
CALC. OSTR. que es lento para aprender a caminar, debido al mal desarrollo seo; en
cambio, en AGARIC. esto es debido a un desarrollo lento de la inteligencia; toda la esfera
psico-mental est como paralizada. Esto nos recuerda a BORAX y sobre todo a BARYTA
CARB., pero en estos dos ltimos sus grandes particularidades impiden toda confusin.
Paciente inquieto, spero, triste, desalentado, a veces despreocupado. Gran variabilidad en

el humor, irritabilidad, depresin mental consecuencia de surmenage o trabajo intelectual
prolongado. Pereza y terror al trabajo intelectual, que lo agrava; horror a conversar, le

AGARICUS MUSCARIUS (Kent)
Lo ms notable que se observa enteramente a travs de este medicamento son contracciones

y temblores. Palpitaciones de los msculos y temblores, se encuentran en todas partes del
cuerpo y en los miembros. Las contracciones de los msculos se hacen tan extensas como
en el caso bien desarrollado de corea. Tiene en su naturaleza todos los sntomas de corea y
ha curado muchos casos. Hay una sensacin de escozor y hormigueo en todo el cuerpo.
Difcilmente est confinado a la piel, se siente una sensacin de hormigueo en la carne.
Escozor en la piel que cambia de lugar al rascarse. Ningn lugar est exento de esto. Hay
sensaciones extraas aqu y all en la piel o en los rganos, sensaciones de fro, sensaciones
de pinchazos con agujas fras y calientes; aguijoneamiento y ardores donde la circulacin es
ms dbil, alrededor de las orejas, de la nariz, en el dorso de las manos y dedos de manos y
pies, manchas rojas con irritacin y ardor como si estuvieran helados. Es un gran
medicamento para los sabaones. El paciente es muy nervioso y sensible al fro. Escozor,
pinchazos, aguijoneo, etc., vienen a consecuencia de un esfuerzo mental y son aliviados por
ejercicios fsicos. Todos los sntomas de Agaricus se agravan tambin despus de la relacin
sexual, especialmente los de la mdula espinal. Es til en los sntomas que aparecen
despus del juego amoroso en las mujeres jvenes casadas como desvanecimientos
histricos al terminar el acto sexual.
Los sntomas mentales son tales como Ud. podra esperar. Grandes cambios, irritabilidad,
depresin mental y quejas provienen de un esfuerzo excesivo de la memoria y de un estudio
prolongado. El cerebro parece desarrollarse tardamente.
Los nios tardan en aprender a hablar y a caminar; de este modo se combinan las
caractersticas de dos medicamentos, Natium muriaticum, que tiene los sntomas de
"aprendizaje tardo para hablar", y Calcarea carb., que tiene los sntomas de "aprendizaje
tardo para caminar". Debe notarse que en Calcarea esto es debido a un defecto en la
debilidad de los huesos. En Agaricus, es un defecto mental, un desarrollo lento de la mente.
Los nios con contracciones y desfallecimientos prematuros, chicas antes de la pubertad
que tienen convulsiones por ser reprendidas, por excitaciones y sobresaltos; tardos en su
desarrollo mental. Los nios que no pueden recordar; que se equivocan y son de
aprendizaje lento. Pacientes nerviosos que al revisar sus manuscritos descubren sus errores
en la escritura y en la ortografa. La mente est en un estado tal en que son lentos para
captar ideas; emiten palabras variadas sin sentido. Cuando nosotros leemos en el libro
"como si toda la esfera psicolgica estuviera paralizada", debemos leer entre lneas. Toda la
inteligencia y la sensibilidad parecen estar paralizadas; el paciente es perezoso, estpido,
por momentos parece estar delirando; hay una confusin en su mente tan semejante al
delirio que no es diferente a la intoxicacin. Un delirio tal como el producido por el alcohol.
Tambin se pone tonto, dice locuras y tonteras, canta y silba en forma inoportuna; hace
versos y profecas o se desliza hacia un estado opuesto y se torna indiferente a lo que lo
rodea. Alguien que es moderado y plcido se vuelve terco, obstinado e infatuado.
Hay dificultad en coordinar los movimientos de los msculos del cuerpo. Incoordinacin
del cerebro y de la mdula espinal. Torpeza en los movimientos de los dedos y de las
manos. Al manejar cosas se le caen. Los dedos se le abren espasmdicamente mientras
agarran cosas. Algunas veces Ud. la curar en la cocina con Agaricus o Apis, cuando el
inconveniente es se ella rompe los platos continuamente dejndolos caer. Estos dos
medicamentos son opuestos, Agaricus debe estar cerca del fuego, mientras que Apis quiere
salir de la cocina. La torpeza y lo desmaado, etc., es tanto mental como corporal.
Toda clase de cambios se producen en las relaciones entre el paciente y el doctor. A veces el
paciente es estpido, desmaado y torpe, y otras gil y potico, puede versificar sin
esfuerzo, especialmente de noche. Por la maana est cansado y perezoso y esto puede
durar hasta el medioda. Los sntomas mentales son peores a la maana y se alivian hacia la
tarde. Todas las sacudidas y las contracciones se calman durante el sueo. Cuando camina
al aire libre siente vrtigo. Siente siempre fro. Al realizar alguna cosa, hace lo contrario de
lo que se propone. Se mezclan el vrtigo y la confusin mental.
Es una caracterstica comn de los dolores de cabeza de este remedio el de estar

relacionados con sntomas medulares, estremecimientos y sacudidas. Cefaleas en pacientes
medulares. Dolor como si hielo tocara la cabeza, o como proveniente de agujas fras. Eso es
en general; lo encontramos en otras partes. Dolor en la cabeza como de clavos. Hay alguna
salida de sangre a la maana, espesa, negra, que difcilmente tiende a gotear. Fro en la
cabeza. Toda clase de sensaciones raras en el cuero cabelludo: sensacin helada despus de
rascarse. Esto corre a lo largo de todo el cuerpo. Hay comezn an cuando no es visible
ninguna erupcin; no se la puede dejar sola y despus de rascarse hay una sensacin de fro
helado en la parte o como si el viento estuviera soplando sobre ella. La cabeza est en
constante movimiento como en corea. Comezn en el cuero cabelludo, especialmente por la
maana al levantarse. Hay tambin una agravacin general por la maana. Hay marcadas
erupciones en el cuero cabelludo. Eczema con costras.
Sacudidas y tirantez en los ojos. Ud. observar esto en los de Agaricus; de como el paciente
que lo mira tiene un movimiento pendular (nistagmus) en que va hacia atrs y adelante todo
el tiempo, aunque l trata de hacer lo posible para fijar su mirada en Ud. Esto se detiene
solamente durante el sueo; todos los movimientos se calman durante el sueo. Han curado
estos sntomas oculares unos pocos otros medicamentos como Cicuta, Arsenicum, Sulphur,
Pulsatilla, pero Agaricus tambin lo produce y lo cura. Hay cada clase concebible de
engao en los colores y en la visin. Con aleteo ante los ojos, el paciente lee con dificultad.
Los objetos parecen estar donde no lo estn. Ve como moscas negras delante de los ojos;
motas negras; visin doble. Hay debilidad muscular de los ojos. Irregularidad de los
movimientos de los ojos; pupilas ya sea dilatadas o contradas, sensacin como si tuviera
una niebla o una telaraa por delante de los ojos. Los sntomas ms marcados son las
sacudidas y la tensin de los ojos as como tambin los movimientos coreiformes y los
engaos de colores y formas delante de los mismos.
Enrojecimiento, ardor y escozor de las orejas como si estuvieran heladas. La sensacin

como de sabaones, que se encuentra por sobre todo el cuerpo; el mismo escozor y picazn
del remedio en general. Torpeza en el escuchar. Sordera. Audicin aguda. Por la maana el
paciente est mudo; perezoso, estpido, cansado, pero al llegar la tarde, desea estar
levantado tarde en la noche, es brillante, desea jugar partidas.
Hemorragia nasal; descarga ftida y profusa de la nariz. Agaricus curar los catarros
crnicos ms rebeldes, con sequedad y costras, en constituciones tuberculosas por ms
arraigadas que estn. Ha curado muchos casos de tisis incipientes. Cura toses antiguas y
catarros. Nariz roja como helada. Es tan bueno como Ledum y Lachesis para la nariz
enrojecida en los borrachos.
De lo que ya hemos visto esperamos contracciones de los msculos de la cara y escozor y

enrojecimiento y ardor como si estuviera congelado, debilidad paraltica, etc., por que stas
son caractersticas generales y, como esperamos, vemos estas cosas en el texto. Espasmos
de corea. Expresin como de idiocia. Ahora, tengan en cuenta esto: algunos pacientes
cuando desarrollan sus tareas habituales son bastante inteligentes, pero si Ud. lo enfrenta a
alguna idea nueva, algo fuera de la rutina de su trabajo, se muestra perfectamente idiota.
Esto se advierte especialmente por la maana. No puede iniciar nada nuevo a la maana
pero es capaz de admitir nuevas ideas y es brillante a la tarde, como si estuviera bajo el
efecto que producen el t, el caf o las bebidas alcohlicas. Este medicamento es un gran
antdoto de las bebidas alcohlicas. En este remedio como en Zincum la espina est
afectada y en ambos de estos hay agravacin por estimulantes.
El Agaricus ha curado muchos casos de convulsiones epileptiformes, ms comnmente el

tipo hstero-epilptico con espuma en la boca, epistotonos, tirantez de los msculos de la
cara. El paciente de Agaricus tiene perodos en los cuales un pequeo msculo de la cara o
algunas pocas fibras de un msculo tiemblan durante unos pocos minutos y se detienen, y
entonces en alguna otra parte de la cara, un prpado temblar y entonces el otro
permanecer fijo, algunas veces con tanta intensidad hasta llevarlo prximo a la locura. Tal
es el estado de Agaricus as como de Nux vomica.
Los dientes se sienten alargados y son sensibles al tacto. La lengua tiembla, se contrae, se
sacude y provoca un pronunciacin desordenada, articulada con esfuerzo. Lengua seca,
temblorosa. Aprende a hablar con dificultad. Espasmos linguales, charla inarticulada.
lcera fagednica en el frenillo, al que corroen. Lengua dolorosa. Aftas por mercurio en el
techo de la boca. Vejiguitas blancas como en la boca dolorida que mama. Dolor crnico de
la garganta. Endurecimiento de las amgdalas. Sed ardiente, apetito rabioso. Sensacin
corrosiva en el estmago como de hambre, sin deseos de comer.
Flatos; eructos penosos; gran timpanismo; ruidos intestinales; alboroto ventral.

Fermentaciones en los intestinos; clicos dolorosos. Deposiciones muy ftidas. Marcado
estado de timpanismo en tifoidea; tipo leve de tifus; temblor y sacudidas musculares;
debilidad paraltica; extenuacin; sntomas mentales.
Diarrea matutina con gran cantidad de flato ardiente (Aloe), con ardor en el recto;
deposicin blanca, pujos grandes; deseos urgentes de evacuar; esfuerzos involuntarios
antes, durante y despus de evacuar. Sensacin como si el recto fuera a estallar, incluso
despus de evacuar (Merc. y Sulph.). Dolores violentos; no puede esperar; penosa
sensacin de estallar. Sensacin como si le cortasen y pinchasen en el abdomen antes de
evacuar; tenesmo urgente; penosos esfuerzos del recto. Clicos y flatos durante la
evacuacin; ardor, escozor y sensacin de cortes en el ano; sudor; dolores en la ingle hasta
las piernas, que continan despus de la evacuacin. Despus de la evacuacin se alivia la
cefalea; picazn en el ano; tensin en el recto; dolores cortantes en el ano; calambres en el
hipogastrio; distensin en el abdomen; pesadez alrededor del ombligo; dolor en el pecho.
Otorgar importancia al tenesmo despus de evacuar.
Puede haber constipacin y sensacin de parlisis en el recto; deposiciones duras; esfuerzos

al evacuar como si la vida dependiera de ello y an sin evacuar. Principio de parlisis en los
miembros inferiores, con contracciones de los msculos y ardor en la columna vertebral. En
algn caso despus de un gran esfuerzo infructuoso para evacuar, sale una evacuacin
involuntaria. Este sntoma era conocido solamente el Arg. n. (evacuacin y orina). Deseo de
orinar tan urgente como el de evacuar. Orina por gotas. Una caracterstica peculiar de este
remedio es que se siente la orina fra al pasar; mientras la orina gotea, pueden contarse las
gotas fras a lo largo de la uretra. "La orina pasa lentamente en un chorro o en gotas y el
paciente debe presionar para facilitar la salida". "Orina acuosa, clara, color limn, amarillo
brillante; amarillo oscuro y caliente; roja, madeja o con sedimento de polvo; acuosa por la
maana, lechosa a la tarde, como suero, con un sedimento rojo o blanco (fosfato de
magnesia)". Fosfatos; orina lechosa. Superficie oleosa, iridiscente, semejante a una pelcula
grasosa como de petrleo sobre la superficie iridiscente. Orina escasa en los sujetos
reumticos, gotosos e histricos. Personas fras, plidas, dbiles, propensas a la tisis. La
orina se hace escasa y aparece el dolor de cabeza, despus de varios das de constipacin la
cefalea se alivia por evacuacin. En Fluoric acid si no atiende al deseo de orinar, aparece el
dolor de cabeza.
Suceden algunas transformaciones. Si la leche cesa un da, aparecen la congestin del

cerebro y de la mdula. Especialmente si cesa la secrecin lctea llega la metstasis y los
sufrimientos.
Frialdad y contraccin de los rganos genitales. El examen comparativo de los sntomas en
los rganos sexuales del hombre y en la mujer demuestra que las experiencias no han sido
hechas intensivamente en la mujer, pero en el hombre hay muchos sntomas que tienen su
estado anlogo en la mujer. En el varn los sntomas son peores despus del acto sexual,
pero lo mismo ha sido sealado en la mujer. Malestar despus de la excitacin sexual,
excesos, etc., desfallecimiento en la mujer; debilidad en el hombre. El temblor y el escozor,
o cualquiera de los sntomas de Agaricus, pueden empeorar despus del coito, por que las
funciones sexuales estn relacionadas con la mdula. Esos sufrimientos de afecciones
espinales causan sufrimientos despus de este acto.
Durante el coito, el ardor en la uretra del varn que proviene de excoriaciones o una
sensacin de calor del fluido seminal al ser eyaculado, y de ah que puede ser solamente un
sntoma varonil. Ardor en la prstata durante la eyaculacin. Hay una excitacin sexual
violenta antes y durante el acto pero en el momento de la eyaculacin el orgasmo es
deficiente y la eyaculacin es pasiva y sin placer. Esto sucede en hombres con debilidad en
la mdula, nerviosos, con pruritos y hormigueos. Proviene de la curacin de antiguas
descargas catarrales de la uretra, gonorrea crnica, despus que se han ensayado toda clase
de tratamientos locales. El pene est fro y encogido. Retraccin excesivamente dolorosa en
los testculos. En descargas blenorrgicas antiguas hay una comezn continua en la uretra y
la ltima gota permanecer , descargndose de tiempo en tiempo. (Gota militar). Hay dos
medicamentos mejores que muchos otros, Petroleum y Agaricus.
El que prescribe rutinariamente piensa siempre en Puls., Sep., etc., pero con conexin con
dolores bajos en la mujer, con irritacin espinal, tironeo hacia abajo como si los rganos
quisieran salirse, este medicamento es el mejor. Estas mujeres delgadas, nerviosas,
intranquilas, con hormigueos deben tener Agaricus. Durante la menstruacin hay cefaleas,
odontalgias, etc. Durante el perodo menstrual los sntomas generales empeoran, no en gran
medida antes o despus. Cuando terminan las reglas se agravan los sntomas cardacos y
prolapsos.
Leucorrea muy profusa, oscura, sanguinolenta, en parte con escoriaciones. Este remedio ha
sido mencionado en relacin con Fluoric acid. Hay muchos puntos de contacto. En especial
en la leucorrea hay, a semejanza de otra, copiosa y acre, a tal punto que mantiene las partes
speras e irritadas alrededor de los genitales y la paciente no puede caminar. En Fluoric acid
es, con los sntomas nerviosos, la cefalea aminorada con el paso de la orina, o dolor de
cabeza si no se realiza la miccin de inmediato con excoriaciones, copiosas e irritantes.
El Agaricus es un medicamento en los trastornos del pecho, aunque raramente se piensa en

l. Ha curado lo que pareca ser consuncin. Dolencias catarrales del pecho, con sudores
nocturnos con historia de sntomas nerviosos. Ataques aislados de tos violenta que terminan
en estornudos. Tos convulsiva, con sudores hacia la tarde y al estar acostado de espaldas. Si
a estos sntomas se agregan los ya descritos Agaricus responder en ese caso. Casos
incipientes de tisis. Se relaciona a una ditesis de tuberculosis. Yo recuerdo al iniciar la
prueba con Tuberculinum en un individuo que yo sospech sera sensible a l de acuerdo a
su historia y a sus sntomas. La primera dosis casi lo mata. Desfalleci y pareci como si
morira. Lo observ y esper pacientemente y aparecieron los sntomas de Agaricus y
establec la relacin entre estos dos medicamentos y confirm la observacin de Hering de
la relacin de Agaricus con la ditesis tuberculosa. Agricus lo cur y engord.
El remedio tiene palpitaciones nerviosas; peores por la tarde. Cura sacudidas y espasmos
cardacos; manifestaciones internas de los sntomas de tironeo. Estos choques vienen de
ruidos sbitos; de eructos, al toser, al estar recostado sobre el lado izquierdo o sobre la
espalda; peor durante la noche; cuando hay fiebre; a menudo se extienden a otras partes,
como al abdomen, a la espalda o a los miembros. Sobre la parte externa del pecho hay
hormigueo en general.
La espalda tiene muchos sntomas de gua peculiares. Rigidez de toda la espina dorsal.
Sensacin como si se rompiera cuando intenta inclinarse. Siente como si estuviera tan
tirante que se romper al encorvarse. Tensin en los msculos de la espalda. Profunda
comezn en la espina. Dolores violentos, punzantes, ardientes. Peores al agacharse. Dolores
que vagan de arriba hacia abajo a lo largo de la espalda. Sensibilidad de la espina al tocarla
especialmente por detrs del cuello y la regin dorsal entre los omplatos. Sensibilidad a
una esponja caliente en la regin lumbar cuando hay irritacin espinal. Sensacin como si
un aire fro se extendiera a lo largo de la espalda como en el aura epilptica. Sensacin de
hielo tocando el cuerpo. Enfriamiento sobre la espalda, y hormigueo. Anestesia de la piel
sobre la espalda. Los dolores mayores se encuentran en la parte posterior del cuello y en la
regin lumbo-sacra, en conexin con el coito. Dolor en la regin lumbar y sacra
especialmente durante un esfuerzo, al sentarse, etc. Dolor en el sacro como si hubiera sido
golpeado, roto. Dolores debajo de la cintura en las mujeres.
En general hay contracciones en los miembros; estn entumecidos, coreicos, ardientes aqu
y all; sensacin de fro en algunos lugares, paralizacin. Temblores en los miembros,
movimientos desmaados. Hay reumatismo y gota en las articulaciones. Parlisis de los
miembros inferiores, as como temblor y debilidad de los mismos. Comezn ardiente de las
manos como si estuvieran heladas. En las articulaciones menores donde la circulacin es
dbil hay sntomas de enfriamiento. Dedos de pies y manos embotados.
Se sienten los huesos como si fueran a romperse durante el descanso, especialmente los
inferiores. Sensacin como si la tibia fuera a quebrarse. Dolores crecientes en los nios que
deben situarse cerca del fuego o las extremidades se enfran. Dolores en los huesos. Pesadez
en las piernas. Dolores en los miembros inferiores, punzantes, lacerantes, mejorando con el
calor y con el movimiento.
En las mujeres, debilidad en los miembros inferiores apenas quedan encinta. Esto sucede
con cada embarazo y ella debe permanecer en cama. Los sntomas pueden llevar a
Agaricus. Pesadez en las piernas. Temblores y sacudidas en los miembros inferiores.

Caractersticas.- Como el Agaricus es usado en muchas partes para hacer una bebida
intoxicante, nosotros encontramos en el alcoholismo una esfera para su accin, y tambin
en todos los estados de delirio, mana y an en idiocia. Una peculiaridad del delrium es
hacer versos y profecas; tambin alborozo chistoso y hablar incoherente, con mana; besa a
sus compaeros. Talcott considera Agaricus lo ms cercano a la parlisis general de todos
los medicamentos; nociones exaltadas de grandeza y poder, hilaridad y excitacin seguida
de depresin, confusin, imbecilidad. Sntomas corporales que lo acompaan, son: vrtigo
(marcado y persistente), con impulso constante de caer hacia atrs; contracciones en los
ojos y en la cara, enrojecimiento sin calor, abotagada y distorsionada. Apetito voraz, engulle
la comida. Apetito sexual enorme y entusistico, con pene relajado e impotencia. En todo el
cuerpo hay contracciones espasmdicas, seguido por disminucin de temblores; finalmente
relajacin y agotamiento. En todos estos casos el medicamento corresponde acuciosamente
con la enfermedad. Estados tifodicos frecuentemente lo indican, y tambin la epilepsia.
Rodar la cabeza, es una indicacin principal para las afecciones del cerebro y fiebre.
Cefaleas peculiares son: "Cefalea pulstil, con sensacin de rigidez de msculos de la cara".
"Cefalea embotante, tironeante en la maana, se extiende a la raz de la nariz, con epistaxis
o secrecin mucosa espesa." "Dolor como por un clavo en el lado derecho de la cabeza."
Uno de los ms caractersticos efectos de Agaricus, es la sacudida muscular y la aparicin
de las contracciones. Esto lo hace apropiado en gran nmero de casos de corea.
Contracciones son especialmente marcadas en los ojos, prpados y msculos de la cara; y
Agaricus ha curado muchos casos de blefaroespasmo y tic convulsivo. Dolor como tocado o
atravesado por agujas de hielo, es muy caracterstico. Perteneciendo a una orden inferior de
vegetales Agar, produce fetidez de aliento, de eructos y heces. Sudor puede ser aceitoso,
pero no ofensivo. Agar. es una medicina para el bazo, causa punzadas en el lado, y ha
curado punzadas en corredores, que les impide correr ms. Los sntomas de Agaricus son
capaces de aparecer al mismo tiempo en lados opuestos del cuerpo, pero diagonalmente
(superior derecha e inferior izquierda, o viceversa). Los pacientes nerviosos que requieren
Agaricus, pasan poca orina (opuesto Ign. ), la vejiga puede estar irritable. Hongos estn en
la dieta prohibida por Grauvogl, a personas que tienen "constitucin hidrogenoide" como
descritos por l, en que los pacientes son excesivamente sensibles al fro y humedad. De
acuerdo con esto, encontramos en los experimentadores de Agaricus gran sensibilidad al
aire fro. Todos los sntomas son < en tiempo fro, especialmente la cefalea. Mirar a travs
de una ventana abierta causa odontalgia y dolores en las extremidades. Bebiendo agua fra
<. Sntomas son < antes de una tormenta. Al mismo tiempo muchos sntomas de frialdad, se
producen: fro y azuloso; sensacin como si lo tocaran con hielo, o agujas fras como hielo.
Todos los sntomas de congelacin y sabaones (prurito, enrojecimiento y ardor). Algo
relacionado con el saban es el juanete, para lo cual Agaricus ha sido encontrado
especfico por muchos mdicos. Muchos sntomas aparecen cuando camina al aire libre;

Agaricus was certainly known.
Mind

fancies the mushroom had ordered him to do, [a38].

- Half an hour later, he falls into a delirium, like a patient with a high fever, and becomes
now immoderately gay, now profoundly melancholy, [a38].

they become jolly, and are gradually seized with such a fit of gayety that they take to
singing, leaping, and reciting before the beauties of the tribe their exploits in war or the
chase. Their physical strength is increased. They fall asleep, and after twelve or sixteen
hours of slumber, they awake in a state of utter prostration;the head, however, does not feel
so empty as after intoxication by brandy, [a39].
- Talking volubly and respectfully, as if to his parents;returning no direct answers when
questioned; he alternately sings and is vexed, embraces his companions and kisses their

muscles, especially on the right side, drawing the head down toward the right shoulder. At
the same time, movements of flexion and extension alternately in the lower limbs, not

while, by nausea and general malaise, [a35].

small objects, as if trunks of trees lay in their way, t.

savages in the form of a real intoxicating drink, the effects of which have been reported by
numerous travelers.
The usual name of "Agaricus" given by Linnee is too vague.
Persoon and Fries have split this Linnean genus into seven families, and the numerous
species received forty-four different generic names, of which Amanita is one.
Before long we may have a few relations introduced on account of their essential
difference in effect.
First proved by Schreter and E. Stapf, and published by the latter in 1828.
Hahnemann and his students' proving was published in the Archives, 1830, with some
toxic symptoms.
In 1831 the best proving of all, that of Apelt, was published in connection with many
reliable provings on the sick, and some valuable cured symptoms.
In the same year Hartlaub published in the third volume of his Materia Medica two
provings by very trustworthy men, Drs.
Woost and Seidel, with some of the observations by travelers in Asia.
In 1835 Hahnemann incorporated it in the second edition of his Chronic Diseases as one of
the antipsorics, adopting only 715 symptoms.
In 1859 in Clotar Mller's Quarterly, vol. x, p. 217 to 260, a so-called critical review was
made; it is enough to say that nearly every symptom there condemned to be stricken out has
been confirmed by the Vienna provings published since; in the list of toxic symptoms, given
with great pretension, one of the main sources was overlooked, the report of Langsdorf
(therefore not in Allen), and 15 symptoms of it belong to an entirely different Agaricus.
In 1869 Zlatarowich published the provings of the Vienna Society, undertaken with great
zeal and courage.
We may say Amanita has suffered an overproving similar to what our Thuya and
Lycopodium had to undergo.
An addition has been made of Th. Rckert's essay, comparing the symptoms of this remedy
with the symptoms of incipient tuberculosis; they are marked.

ind. (alcoholism; extravagant fancies); Cicut. (spasms of eyes); Codein (eyelids twitching,
etc); Coffea (ecstasy); Hyosc. (typhoid of drunkards; loquacity, dancing, muscular
twitchings, and with all tremor, tendency to stupor and feeble pulse); Ignat.

crying); Laches. (loquacious delirium; alcoholism; typhoid of low type, tremulous
protrusion of tongue; tremor, feeble pulse, livid extremities); Mygale (chorea); Nux. vom.

liver); Opium (alcoholism; chorea, with spasmodic, angular jerks of flexors; hands tremble,
slow pulse); Pulsat. (spinal irritation; chorea; chilblains, etc.); Sepia (icy cold feeling on

- Atropine is said to be antagonistic to Muscarine, but they both, when topically used,
dilate the pupil.
- Muscarine is very similar to Pilocarpine, (jaborandi) since both cause arrest of heart's
action; profuse sweat; salivation, lachrymation; contracted pupils, etc. Muscarine acts more
on lachrymal glands, less on sweat and salivary glands; Pilocarpine causes more urging to
urinate.
- Muscarine, given internally, contracts pupil more than Pilocarpine; used topically, only
the former dilates the pupil. Gelsem. is here similar to Muscarine.
- Follow well : Bellad., Calc. ostr., Mercur., Opium, Pulsat., Rhus tox. and Silicea.
- Acted well after Dulcam., Phosph. ac., Pulsat., and Cuprum had failed. Chronic
diarrhoea.

Generalities
[_a2]: First case. A woman, aet. thirty-three years, ate a quantity of the mushrooms at
dinner. At 10 P.M. she was taken with a very severe headache and intense thirst, soon
followed by pains in the abdomen, vomiting of black substances, but no stools. At 4 A. M.
she had an emetic and a cathartic, which produced profuse vomiting and diarrhoea. The
next day she was admitted to the hospital;the skin was cold and dry, the eyes sunken, the
face had the aspect of one suffering from cholera;the pains in the abdomen were very
severe, and forced cries from the patient. The vomiting and hiccough continued, and the
patient complained excessively of burning heat in the throat, and of violent pains in the
articulations, especially of the ankles, aggravated by movement. The abdomen was very
sensitive, but not tympanitic. The pulse was small and rapid, the body very cold, but the
extremities were not violet. The cutaneous sensibility was decidedly diminished, especially
over the chest, abdomen, thighs, and arms. The pupils were irregularly and considerably
contracted, the left forming a mere black central point, the right being a little larger;both
were insensible to light. She responded slowly to questions, constantly complained of the
articular pains, from time to time became much agitated and uttered cries. There were
frequently involuntary black stools, without tenesmus. The temperature was 36.6.
[_a2]: Second Case.
- A woman, aet. thirty-three years, ate some of the mushrooms. Eight hours afterwards she
noticed weakness of the limbs and intense thirst;about 9 o'clock she was seized with the
most intense pains in the abdomen. At 11 o'clock there were vomiting and diarrhoea, with
tenesmus;the vomiting was incessant, accompanied by very violent pain in the pit of the
stomach and throat. Extreme restlessness caused by the pain;she could not remain in bed.
Thirst was intense, but she vomited everything she took. The next day, at 5 P.M. , the skin
was cold and dry, there was profound prostration, and the stomach and abdomen were
painful. There was incessant hiccough, from time to time, accompanied by regurgitations.
Pulse small, rapid. Heart's action very feeble, but not irregular. Diarrhoea very profuse,
without odor. There was no urine. Pupils contracted, but mobile. Skin cool, temperature
37.8. She received syrup of ether, coffee, and digitalis.
[_a2]: Third Case.
- A man was brought to the hospital in a state of profound coma;the face was bluish,
cyanotic, eyes sunken, devoid of expression, pupils contracted, heart's action very slow,
exceedingly feeble. Pulse imperceptible, respiration stertorous. Extremities cold;nails blue.
The patient looked like on suffering from cholera. Complete loss of sensibility. It was stated
that after eating the mushrooms he was taken with violent pain in the abdomen, diarrhoea,
vomiting, and chilliness, and fell into a state of coma, when the vomiting and diarrhoea
ceased. Just before death respiration became feeble, the heart ceased to beat, and the pupils
became wildly dilated, [a4].
- Two hours afterwards seized with headache, giddiness, violent pain in the stomach,
sickness, ardent thirst, and trembling of all the limbs, and had ultimately fallen into a
comatose state. The mother and eldest son, who was an adult, vomited freely, with
considerable relief;the others passed the whole night under violent pain in the stomach,
great sickness and retching, ischuria, tenesmus, and general convulsions. In the morning all
dangerous symptoms had subsided, except in the youngest boy, who had refused to take the
emetic, and who was senseless, with general convulsions, trismus, tympanitis, and great
dyspnoea;his eyes were staring, the countenance flushed, the extremities cold, and the pulse
hard and intermitting. Under these symptoms he died, apparently suffocated. The others
complained of very violent colic, pains around the navel, and giddiness, and one of the girls
was affected with hiccough, [_a2].
- Rigid and speechless, [_a3].
- Patient extremely weak, [_a3].
- Great restlessness, tossing about the bed;convulsive movements of the extremities, [_a3].
Skin

Agaricus stercorarius (Allen)
Authority. Thos. Stevenson, M.D. , Guy's Hosp. Reports, vol. xix, p. 418, R.M. , aet. thirty-
nine years, ate about a pint stewed with bacon.
- In half an hour he complained of nausea, some oppression in his breathing, and of severe
pain across the forehead, with giddiness. His wife now noticed a strangeness in his
appearance, and that in attempting to walk he kept his eyes fixed on the ground and guided
himself with difficulty. He was, however, quite conscious of everything, and opened a book
to see if he could read, but found that he was unable to make out any of the letters. When
out of doors he continued to suffer severely from the pain across the forehead, with
giddiness, and in addition, experienced a feeling as if something was continually over his
head, or as if passing"through an arcade".He also staggered much. About 11 P.M. , after
more than three hours, Mr. Hicks was called to see him. He found him sitting down in a
semistate of stupor, with pupils dilated and inactive, and the pulse slow and feeble, from 55
to 60. On being roused and made to get up he looked completely bewildered, staggered as if
tipsy, and said he could not recognize the things in the room, nor the room itself as that
which he usually occupied. He now became more restless, threw his arms about, and
seemed anxious to be continually moving from place to place. He also appeared to be
somewhat convulsed, with twitching of the muscles of the face and complained of prickings
in his hands, and of a feeling as if they were swelling. He suddenly became more excited,
and rushed wildly out of the house into the street. He was found in a neighbor's house,
considerably prostrated after his exertions, and in a very lethargic state. Twenty grains of
Sulphate of zinc were now administered, and in a short time vomiting ensued, much dark
fluid with numerous pieces of fungi being brought up. For a short time afterwards he
expressed himself as feeling better, and was allowed to be taken to the door of the cottage.
Almost immediately afterwards, as if moved by a sudden impulse, he again rushed wildly
out, but after going a short distance stopped suddenly, as if bewildered. Emetics were again
administered and the stomach-pump used, and in the course of a few hours he gradually
recovered, though feeling much prostrated. He said that during the whole time he was quite
conscious of what was being done, but that at times he felt drowsy and inclined to sleep.
When convulsive paroxysms came and he felt wild and excited, with an irresistible desire to
move about and to run. He had no pain in the stomach or bowels at any time, nor did the
feeling of oppression in his breathing continue after the first symptoms.

hospital, cuando, por ltimo recurso, una pieza de Agave se le ofreci al muchacho por
el doctor que lo atenda, cortado de una planta que creca como cerca de los terrenos del
hospital. Para el asombro de todos, el muchacho lo alcanz y lo comi casi sin
masticarlo. Al anochecer una disminucin de la violencia de los ataques nerviosos, fue

continua. Al cuarto da, tom algo de alimentos, pero tambin continuaba masticando
Agave y pasando al jugo. Al quinto da, recuper la conciencia pero an demandaba

AGNUS CASTUS (Lathoud)
Agnus Castus, o Agnocasto, e sauzgatillo comn, es un arbusto de la familia de las

Verbceas, cultivado en muchos jardines por la vistosidad de sus hojas, pero que se
encuentra en estado salvaje en toda la regin mediterrnea, Provenza, Grecia, donde
crece en terrenos arenosos y al pie de las rocas.
En la antigedad, los griegos consideraban a esta planta como al smbolo de la castidad, y las
mujeres en ausencia de sus esposos cubran el lecho con hojas de este arbusto; as le
dieron el nombre de "agnos" que significa casto, al cual le fue ms tarde adicionado el
trmino latino "castus", que significa lo mismo.
La tintura madre se prepara con las hojas y bayas frescas.
El punto de accin del remedio son los RGANOS GENITALES; disminuye la vitalidad
sexual a la vez que causa una gran depresin mental y marcada prdida de la vitalidad
nerviosa.
El remedio acta en ambos sexos indistintamente, si bien parece desarrollar mejor su accin
en la mujer, y los excesos genitales, la masturbacin, etc., crean un campo favorable a la
accin de esta droga.

ansiosos, desesperados, con ideas de suicidio, a veces temen infundadamente una muerte
prxima. Dolores de cabeza, cara y dientes; hormigueo de piel; sntomas nerviosos muy
numerosos; fotofobia, dolores desgarrantes de cabeza; el menor alimento les causa
trastornos gstricos, nuseas. Los msculos estn blandos; vsceras abdominales cadas;
gran debilidad en colon y recto, y el resultante escaso poder de expulsin causa
CONSTIPACIN. La deposicin sale a medias, vuelve a entrar, como en SILICEA,

malolientes; prurito, excoriaciones y ardor en el ano. Tos cortante, sudores nocturnos,
msculos cansados y extremidades fras.
"El ejercicio y el fro aumentan los malestares, quieren estar tranquilos y quietos. A menudo
se vuelven neurastnicos. En fin, necesitan el remedio. "El hombre joven que ha abusado
sexualmente, principalmente abusos solitarios, que ha tenido blenorragia, que sufre de
frigidez sexual y emisiones seminales durante las deposiciones; de recin casados ya son
impotentes, su joven esposa no les causa ninguna ereccin an cuando haga poco tiempo
que haya tenido algn xito clandestino; todo se reduce a algunas erecciones matinales;
est extremadamente deprimido, desolado, su corazn desgarrado, y se lamenta de su
vida pasada; AGNUS CASTUS arreglar todo esto.
"La mujer joven que haya practicado onanismo, no encuentra goce alguno con su esposo a
pesar de amarlo. A veces no tiene reglas, o presenta algunas hemorragias uterinas; vagina
relajada, prolapso uterino frecuente con leucorrea parecida a clara de huevo. Tambin
esto se arregla con AGNUS CASTUS.
"En este tipo de mujeres la leche no aparece despus del alumbramiento o se hace escasa y se
retira al poco tiempo. Este remedio le devolver una leche abundante" (Kent).
Para concluir, falta enunciar un sntoma particular que menciona Allen: la paciente siente
permanentemente olor a arenque o almizcle, lo cual es imaginario. Estos fenmenos de

AGNUS CASTUS (Kent)
Este medicamento maravilloso es olvidado con frecuencia. Debe pensarse en l para

individuos decados por excesos sexuales y masturbacin. En pacientes plidos,
enfermizos que se lamentan de su vida disoluta. Es bueno para ambos sexos. Debilidad
sexual; relajacin de los rganos sexuales. Perversin de todas las funciones.
Una mujer que se satisfaca ampliamente con vicios secretos, encontr despus del
casamiento que no alcanzaba placer sexual, fue curada con este medicamento. Ms
tarde, una vez embarazada no llegaba leche a sus senos y otra vez Agnus la cur al cabo
de tres semanas.
Cuando la leche cesa despus de haberse iniciado, o escasea y la mujer est melanclica,

Cura las hemorragias uterinas y restaura la menstruacin en las jvenes con historia liviana.

frialdad genital, poluciones, descargas prostticas al evacuar. Su joven y bella esposa no
le provoca ereccin, no obstante que recientemente ha tenido un xito clandestino, y
tiene erecciones matutinas pero no ms.
Debido a las causas arriba enunciadas, vienen sntomas penosos. Prdida de la memoria,

Hasta la comida ms simple perturba el estmago, y se queja mucho de nuseas. Sus
msculos estn fofos. Est anmico y sus glndulas estn hipertrofiadas, especialmente
el bazo. Aumenta su flatulencia. Las vsceras abdominales cuelgan pesadamente. Hay
una creciente debilidad del recto y constipacin y a pesar del esfuerzo abdominal en

AILANTHUS GLANDULOSA (Kent)
Este medicamento es especialmente adecuado en las enfermedades zimticas, tales como

las que encontramos en la difteria y la escarlatina, en envenenamiento de la sangre y en
la tifoidea sintomtica especialmente en aquellos casos caracterizados por congestin
capilar con manchas rojas moteadas. Tal vez la manifestacin ms sorprendente de tal
tipo de enfermedad es la fiebre escarlatina maligna. La erupacin regular no aparece,
pero se encuentran manchas rojas, semejantes a la roseola; la erupcin usual extendida
falta, o ha sido suprimida, y hay epistaxis de las encas y de la nariz y una terrible
tumefaccin de la garganta. El semblante es purpreo y atontado, los ojos
congestionados e incluso emisin de sangre por los ojos. Hay una apariencia de gran
postracin, pero realmente es estupefaccin; parece estpido y torpe. Si Ud. observa la
garganta la ver cubierta con ppulas prpuras, entremezcladas con edemas semejantes
a las encontradas en Baptisia. Es un tipo de enfermedad depresiva. La sangre se
descompone rpidamente. La sangre que mana es negra. El nio se sumerge en un
estado de estupor y puede ser despertado con dificultad. Algunas veces se forman
ampollas en la extremidad de los dedos o aqu y all sobre el cuerpo. De la boca y de la
nariz se exhalan olores ftidos. La enfermedad se agrava rpidamente hacia un carcter
maligno. Algunas veces se manifiesta como un ataque febril leve, pero al tomar fro y
suprimiendo algunas de las manifestaciones naturales, surge un estado tifoso y mientras
Ud. ha tenido al principio una simple recidiva, el caso ha asumido ahora un estado de
postracin, con taquicardia, fetidez en las excreciones, una congestin pasiva con
ppulas purpreas en la piel, causando un aspecto moteado. Cuando una enfermedad
avanza tan rpidamente, aparece un envenenamiento de la sangre y un estado
sintomtico de tifoidea. En 24 horas una recidiva que se torna en un estado zimtico.
Son ejemplos de tal tipo de enfermedad una difteria que toma esta forma con estupor y
piel moteada.
Son interesantes tambin los sntomas mentales que acompaan a esta enfermedad. He
ledo algunas notas que hice. Una ensoacin continua incluso durante la vigilia. El
nio llora continuamente. El ve pequeos animales como ratas rondando a su alrededor.
Siente como si una rata o alguna cosa pequea trepara sobre sus miembros o en su
cuerpo. Parece ser constante la falta de memoria, incluso las cosas conversadas hace un
momento se le escapan de la mente. Olvido constante. Todos los eventos pasados son
olvidados o recordados como pertenecientes a algn otro, o como lecturas ledas. Eso
es conservando el estado de ensoacin, le parece sin embargo que aquellas cosas que
han pasado parecen como de un sueo. No puede concentrar su pensamiento en
cualquier esfuerzo mental; no puede contestar correctamente preguntas, como si
estuviera en un estado de semi-consciencia. Hay en este primer paso de este estado
zimtico gran ansiedad y desasosiego, ms tarde estupor e indiferencia hacia todo.
Depresin espiritual con suspiros continuos; irritacin extrema; semi-conciencia que
termina finalmente en inconsciencia, estupor, delirio e insensibilidad; delirio rezongn,
con insomnio y desasosiego. Este estado mental es tal como sucede en enfermedad
cimtica. La enfermedad crnica no ha sido bien revelada. El Dr. Wells us este
medicamento en un nmero de casos, pues fue en esa poca un remedio epidmico para
la escarlatina, en Brooklyn, y muchos pacientes fueron salvados con ello. Pareci capaz
de cambiar el carcter de las formas malignas de la escarlatina en un tipo ms benigno.
Agregado a los sntomas del tema se ha observado la cada del cabello y relmpagos delante
de los ojos al cerrar los prpados de noche. "Las pupilas estn muy dilatadas; fluye de
la nariz un lquido icoroso, sanguinolento". Ese es el estado zimtico en la escarlatina.
Nariz congestionada. Gran postracin y aspecto indicando zozobra. Cara oscura como
caoba". Cara purprea hinchada y entontecida. Este medicamento no es muy usado y no
es indicado a menudo, pero es muy til cuando se lo indica. Ud. no ver con frecuencia
este tipo particular incluso en escarlatina maligna, pues Ud. ver otros medicamentos
que cubren los sntomas, pero este remedio corresponde a uno de los tipos ms
malignos y su uso ms comn ser en estos casos. Hay tres tipos comunes de
escarlatina. En una temporada Ud. encuentra que los casos son simples y leves, se
presenta la erupcin tpica y aparece rpidamente sin mucha fiebre. Tales casos siguen
su curso con unos buenos cuidados, una habitacin calefaccionada y un buen abrigo sin
muchos medicamentos.
La piel est rojo brillante y lisa. Esto no es grave. En otras epidemias Ud. encontrar
solamente un caso aislado de esta clase, mientras que la mayora de las veces se
presentan marcados trastornos en la garganta; la erupcin es escasa cuando se presenta,
y llega la congestin de la cabeza y los sntomas espinales con dolor en la nuca. La
garganta est terriblemente hinchada e inflamada, rojo brillante y muy dolorida.
Entonces hay un tercer tipo en el cual la garganta est muy hinchada, as como las
mucosas, y la tendencia total es hacia la intoxicacin sangunea o cimosis con
tumefaccin de las glndulas, edema de la piel y fetidez general; la piel est oscura y la
erupcin escasa, a veces difcilmente visible desde el principio hasta el final. Sin
tratamiento en estos casos llevarn casi todos a la muerte; son muy graves. Los
antiguos autores llaman a estas formas "escarlatina simple", "escarlatina anginosa", y
"escarlatina maligna". En algunas epidemias Ud. constatar los tres aspectos, en
algunas familias ver dos formas. Un nio tendr un tipo leve, y otro lo sufrir ms
grave con ampollas cimticas aqu y all, en la extremidad de los dedos, con fetidez; tan
pronto como se rompen las ampollas aparecen ulceraciones, si el nio vive todava;
pero estos son los casos mortales del tipo maligno. Incluso cuando la erupcin no sale
en los casos leves de escarlatina, la impresin con un dedo provoca una marca blanca
que tardar en llenarse. Cuanto ms marcada es, ms leve ser el tipo. Cuanto ms
cimtico el tipo ms lenta ser la circulacin, y en este medicamento se encuentra este
estado. La congestin de la piel se encuentra incluso cuando no hay erupcin, una
congestin pasiva de las venas. Un nmero de remedios tienen esto pero Veratrum
viride produce una parlisis vasomotora tal que una lnea sobre la piel hecho por
presin permanecer mucho tiempo. En todos estos sufrimientos cimticos hay un olor
ftido que es en algunas ocasiones cadavrico, otras veces como carne ptrida; esto se
encontrar en los tipos apagados de enfermedad en los cuales est indicado este
medicamento.
"La garganta hinchada, rojo oscura, casi de color prpura. Difteria con postracin extrema.
Garganta lvida, hinchada; amgdalas prominentes y punteadas con lceras profundas".
La garganta y las amgdalas aparecen a menudo como si hubiera quedado con hoyos
bajo presin hidrpica. En algunos de estos trastornos cimticos tiene lugar una diarrea
crtica. Con estos estados cimticos hay dolor por detrs del cuello y cabeza,
independientemente del nombre de la enfermedad.
"Respiracin acelerada, irregular, pesada. Ardor en la palma de las manos y en las plantas
de los pies, y el paciente busca un lugar fresco para ponerlas. Siente como una rata
trepando por las piernas, y como si una culebra se le enroscase sobre la pierna". Estos
sntomas mentales sucedieron en una de mis pruebas. En formas adinmicas de la
enfermedad caracterizadas por postracin sbita y extrema, "se observan vmitos, pulso
pequeo acelerado y aspecto purpreo de la piel". "Conmocin elctrica desde el
cerebro a las extremidades". "Escalofros a las 8 de la maana, con fro, calor y
sudores". Durante el enfriamiento, vmitos de comida y dolores agudos en la cadera. El
escalofro es precedido por una erupcin maligna, especialmente en la cara y en la
frente. Durante este perodo sensacin de vaco y hambre, con dolor intolerable por
detrs del cuello, parte superior de la espalda y la articulacin de la cadera". El dolor
por detrs del cuello es comn premonitorio fiebres graves. Precede generalmente
ataques congestivos de gran violencia caracterizados por la plenitud de la cabeza con
calor.
La erupcin granular de la que se habl en el texto, semejante a sarampin, es cuando la

erupcin escarlatinosa o sarampionosa no se manifiesta uniformemente, pero s en
mculas, pequeos crculos oscuros aqu y all. "Erupcin irregular, en manchas,
lvidas, que desaparecen a la presin y retornan muy lentamente; entremezcladas con
pequeas vesculas, peores sobre la frente, en el cuello y en el pecho. La erupcin
aparece escasamente por dos das con dolor de garganta y fiebre suave". Esta erupcin
es semejante a las petequias que vemos en las formas de tifoidea. Lo que se sabe de este
remedio en la escarlatina lo hacen digno de estudios futuros; debera ser experimentado
de nuevo para tener un conocimiento ms completo al respecto. "Erupcin abundante
de un tinte azulado. Escarlatina tifoidea". Para tomar esa apariencia la erupcin es lenta
y permanece lvida. "El cuerpo y los miembros recubiertos con una erupcin irregular a
manchas de un color muy lvido". Aqu Ud. ve solamente un tipo de escarlatina. Este
tipo de fiebre grave necesita a veces Sulphur, o Phophorus, o Belladona, o Baptisia, o
Lachesis. Para distinguir el uno del otro y conservar el concepto de cada medicamento
en la mente con claridad, se requiere un prolongado estudio de la Materia Mdica. Es
fcil comparar los medicamentos incluso si primero los ha estudiado cada uno por
separado. Entonces Ud. puede establecer muchas comparaciones. Si Ud. acude con un
buen conocimiento general de la Materia Mdica se sorprender por la cantidad de
sntomas que acudirn a su mente, sugeridos por los signos de la enfermedad. Cuando
Ud. va a ver una escarlatina Ud. no debera apelar a los nombres de esos medicamentos
que ha odo recomendar para la escarlatina; deje que el aspecto del paciente le traiga a
la mente tales remedios que aparecen semejantes a este paciente, prescindiendo de si
han estado relacionados con la escarlatina o no. Cuando Ud. ve la erupcin tal vez Ud.
dir que es semejante a Aconite pero hay tal escasez de cimosis en la naturaleza de
Aconite que no debe pensar ms en ellos. En Belladona no es conveniente pues en ese
remedio la erupcin es lisa y brillante, la erupcin tpica de Sydenham. Por otra parte
Ud. pensar en Pulsatilla, que tiene una erupcin sarampionosa, relacionada a menudo
con una forma grave de fiebre, pero no tan mala como en el tipo tifoideo, as Pulsatilla
es desechada de su mente. Ud. ahora piensa en los remedios que son tpicos de todos
los estados cimticos; la postracin, la agravacin despus del sueo; estupor general y
delirio y, casi como de un vistazo, Ud. ve Lachesis, el tipo de tal forma de enfermedad.
Su imagen acude a su mente rpidamente. Ud. ve otro caso de escarlatina en el cual hay
erupcin escasa, el nio est plido y exhausto, sin erupcin, orina casi suprimida; en
un momento Ud. casi piensa en Aurum triph. Es el aspecto de los sntomas el que
sugerir el remedio a emplear.
En otro caso Ud. tiene toda la apariencia prpura del cual he hablado en este remedio;
fetidez horrible, dolor de garganta, y el nio no puede obtener suficiente agua fra,
desea un arroyo de agua que corriera por su garganta continuamente; Ud. puede confiar
seguramente en Phosphorus. En este tipo de enfermedades es necesario un estudio y
anlisis suficientemente prolongado para aplicar una teraputica eficaz.

drowsiness had become insensibility, with constant muttering delirium; did not recognize
the members of the family. She was now covered in patches with an eruption of miliary
rash, all of a dark, almost of a livid color. The patches between the points of the eruption
were of a dingy, dull opaque appearance. The eruption was more profuse on the forehead
and face than elsewhere, and especially on the forehead. The pulse was now small, and so
rapid as hardly to be counted; the surface had become cold and dry; the livid color of the
skin when pressed out returned very slowly; the whole was a most complete picture of
torpor, [a10].
- The chill was always preceded by a miliary eruption, most copiously developed on the
forehead and face. During the chill there was great hunger, with a distressing sense of
general emptiness. Any food taken was speedily vomited. Intolerable pain was felt in the
back of the neck, the upper part of the back, and the right hip-joint. During the hot stage
there was urgent thirst, with delirium, and a strong desire for brandy, [a10].

depicted in S. 193, and the girl was subject to this role for a fortnight.)
- The eruption is slow to make its appearance, and never takes on the genuine scarlet color;
it remains livid, [a13].

- (In prover M., this order of evolution is exactly reversed. J.)
- After discontinuing the drug the head, throat, and chest symptoms lasted for about
twenty-four hours, and gradually died away, [a6].

or five days, [a6].

Ailanthus glandulosa (Hering)
Tree of Heaven. Simarubeae.

J.Y. Simpson, M.D. , Pharm. Journ., vol. vii, 1848, p. 517.
- Out of five of us that attempted to inhale Aldehyde, very carefully prepared and purified, four were
driven to suspend the respiration of it in consequence of the coughing and insufferable feelings of
dyspnoea which ot immediately induced. The sensation of difficult respiration and constriction in the
chest which the vapor produced, resembled precisely those of a severe fit of spasmodic asthma. In the
fifth case, the experimentalist, entirely insensible; the state of anaesthesia lasted for two or three
minutes, during which the pulse became excessively small and feeble. On recovering, the bronchial
constriction and coughing, which had disappeared as the anaesthesia was induced, returned
immediately, and was annoying for some time.

ALLIUM CEPA (Nash)
Coriza con frecuentes estornudos y mucosidad copiosa e irritante, que erosiona la

nariz y el labio superior; lagrimeo tambin copioso, pero no irritante. (Euphrasia, lo inverso.)
El resfro se extiende a los bronquios, con abundante secrecin de mucus; tos con
muchos rales (Chelidonium).
Modalidades: < durante la primera parte de la noche y en una habitacin caliente; > al
aire libre (el coriza).
Cualquiera que haya cortado una cebolla cruda para la cocina conoce sus efectos
sobre los ojos y la nariz: irritacin que provoca violentos estornudos y lagrimeo. Entonces, si
la ley homeoptica de la curacin es verdadera, este debera ser un buen remedio del coriza y,
en efecto, lo es; pero, como en cualquier otro remedio, cura la forma peculiar y caracterstica
de la enfermedad que le es propia.
Tiene constantes y frecuentes estornudos, con mucosidad copiosa e irritante que

quema y erosiona la nariz y el labio superior; estos trastornos empeoran durante la primera
parte de la noche y mientras est en una habitacin y mejoran al aire libre. Tambin tiene
un lagrimeo profuso, con ardor, comezn y escozor en los ojos, pero las lgrimas no son
irritantes, es decir, no dejan despus los ojos doloridos. Puede haber o no dolor de cabeza,
pero si existe est , igual que el coriza, agravado en una habitacin caliente o en la parte
inicial de la noche y aliviado al aire libre.
Lo he hallado particularmente til para los nios cuando el coriza o el enfriamiento se

acompaa de una invasin de los bronquios, en los que aparece una secrecin igualmente
profusa, con mucha tos y rales mucosos.
Antes que Cepa entrara en uso en la Homeopata, acostumbrbamos a dar Euphrasia

cuando haba coriza con mucosidad copiosa y lagrimeo. Entre estos dos remedios existe la
diferencia de que en Cepa la secrecin nasal es irritante y la lagrimal no lo es, en tanto que
en Euphrasia ocurre exactamente lo contrario. La accin medicamentosa parece asentar
primariamente en la nariz en el primero y en los ojos en el segundo y es de este modo como
debemos aprender a diferenciar entre s todos los remedios.
ALLIUM CEPA (Lathoud)
Allium cepa, o cepa vulgaris, o cebolla, es una hortaliza de la familia de las Liliceas, lo
suficientemente conocida por lo que no se necesita mejor descripcin.
Se preparan las diferentes dinamizaciones homeopticas partiendo de la tintura madre

obtenida con el bulbo fresco macerado en alcohol.
Considerada en conjunto, ALLIUM cepa provoca CATARRO AGUDO DE LAS MUCOSAS

DE LOS OJOS, NARIZ, LARINGE Y HASTA DE UNA PORCIN DEL TUBO
DIGESTIVO, CON SECRECIONES EXAGERADAS Y DOLORES NEURLGICOS.
Modalidades
A) Lateralidad
IZQUIERDA.
B) Agravacin
Al atardecer y a la noche, a la hora de acostarse tiene este remedio la mayor agravacin.
EN HABITACIN CALIENTE : todos los malestares se agravan por el calor, empeoran en

habitacin caliente, con excepcin de la picazn de garganta que a veces es excitada por
el aire fro; pero el paciente est mejor al aire fro y es sensible al calor.
C) Mejora
EN HABITACIN FRA, AL AIRE LIBRE.
Cabeza
Dolor de cabeza catarral, principalmente en la frente, que empeora en habitacin caliente y a

la noche, acompaado de sensacin de confusin, de plenitud, de pesadez.
Ojos
Ojos enrojecidos, hinchados, arden con PROFUSO LAGRIMEO pero SIN IRRITACIN,
MIENTRAS QUE LA SECRECIN NASAL ES BASTANTE IRRITANTE
(EUPHRASIA es lo contrario); GRAN FOTOFOBIA
Odos
Dolor de odos con punzadas en la trompa de Eustaquio, coriza; dolores profundos en la

garganta que se extienden a los odos, y la inflamacin del resfro de cabeza tiende a
llegar a garganta, laringe y odos. Dolor de odos que pueden llegar a secrecin
purulenta; el coriza produce ruidos y tintineos en los odos. Dolores picantes en los odos
con coqueluche, laringitis y coriza. PULS. tiene una afinidad tan grande para el odo que
cura el dolor de odos en casi todos los nios que gritan lastimeramente; pero los
gruones, que nunca se contentan, que rechazan todo lo pedido, que golpean a su niera
o enfermero, requieren CHAMOM.; la mayora de los dolores de odo en los nios puede
curarse con PULS., CHAMOM., y ALL. CEPA (Kent).
Aparato digestivo
La cebolla es un medicamento extremadamente FLATULENTO. Clicos gaseosos; dolores

cortantes, picantes, desgarrantes, que el nio siente en el bajo vientre, que lo hacen tiritar
y lo obligan a doblarse en dos. Clicos que nacen en la regin heptica y se extienden a
todo el vientre, peores alrededor del ombligo y sentados (Kent). Ano sensible, sangra a
veces.
1) NARIZ: ALL. CEPA es empleado principalmente en los resfros que comienzan por
coriza, luego se inflama la garganta, la laringe y finalmente los grandes bronquios.
Este tipo de resfro, llamado a veces gripe o influenza es provocado por vientos fros
hmedos y penetrantes; a veces hay dolor de cabeza congestivo.
Sensacin de aspereza en la nariz, lagrimeo abundante pero suave, mientras por las fosas
nasales corre un lquido acuoso sumamente irritante, con muchos estornudos. Esta
sensacin de aspereza gana rpidamente la garganta, la laringe, el pecho y al cabo de 24
hs se presenta una tos desgarrante excitada por una sensacin de picazn en la laringe,
principalmente cuando el paciente est acostado por la noche en una habitacin caliente.
Es asombroso lo rpido que ALL. CEPA destruir este catarro (Kent).
Coriza con secrecin que comienza con muchos ESTORNUDOS; luego aparece secrecin
acuosa constante, goteando de la nariz, ardiente como fuego, excoriando el labio superior
y los bordes nasales, mientras el lagrimeo ocular es suave (EUPHRASIA es lo contrario);
al mismo tiempo la congestin de la mucosa nasal es tal que el paciente experimenta
sensacin de latidos y ardor; siente adems dolores en los maxilares, toda la cara y hasta
la cabeza; los ojos no pueden tolerar la luz. En fin, la coriza comienza en la fosa nasal
izquierda para en seguida pasar a la derecha y el enfermo se siente afiebrado, ardiente,
sediento.
Catarro con fiebre de heno; en la poca propicia el coriza comienza con estornudos matinales
violentos y GRAN SENSIBILIDAD AL OLOR DE LAS FLORES. All. cepa podr no
curar radicalmente la enfermedad, har desaparecer en cambio los sntomas
desagradables de la misma. La crisis primaveral anual debe considerarse como la
eclosin de una enfermedad crnica. En este caso, el tratamiento del mal crnico deber
comenzar una vez desaparecida la fiebre de heno y el catarro. En este perodo puede
atacarse con xito y constitucionalmente la enfermedad, en cuyo transcurso se notarn
crisis y sntomas bien diferentes a los del estado agudo (Kent).
2) LARINGE Y BRONQUIOS: Laringitis aguda con ronquera, sensacin de aspereza y

desgarramiento en cada acceso de tos. Excitacin por cosquilleo de laringe provocado
por inhalaciones o aspiraciones de aire fro y en habitacin caliente estando acostado.
Tos espasmdica.
Tos ronca, resonante, espasmdica, excitada por picazn larngea. La tos produce dolores
larngeos tan agudos que el paciente hace esfuerzos por contenerla. Sensacin de que la
tos le desgarra la garganta.
Coqueluche con sensibilidad dolorosa de laringe; el nio se agita y teme toser por los dolores
que le causa. A veces esta coqueluche viene acompaada de trastornos gstricos :
vmitos, flatulencia; el nio emite gases ofensivos y se dobla en dos por el clico (Kent).
As como el aire fro aumenta la tos y la dificultad para respirar, el calor aumenta la picazn
y el dolor y provoca tambin tos.
En consecuencia : si la picazn larngea, la tos proveniente de inspirar aire fro, la agravacin

en habitacin caliente, agravacin nocturna con tos que desgarra la laringe, estn
reunidos en un paciente, ALL. CEPA es el remedio.
Expectoracin mucosa blanca, espumosa, sobre todo de noche sensacin de obstruccin de la

respiracin en medio de la parte superior pectoral.
Neuritis traumtica del tipo encontrado en un mun despus de una amputacin : dolores
insoportables que agotan las fuerzas del paciente (Kent).

ALLIUM CEPA (Kent)
Allium cepa se usa principalmente en "enfriamientos". Hay diversas localizaciones de estos

"enfriamientos", en la nariz, en la garganta, en la laringe, en los bronquios. En todas las
fases del "resfro" el paciente en su coriza, su laringitis, su tos, sus malestares, empeora
con el calor, se siente mal en una habitacin clida, excepto el cosquilleo en la laringe
que a veces se agrava por respirar aire fro. En esta forma la tos se excita pero el
paciente se encuentra mejor en el aire fro y es sensible al calor. La mayora de los
sntomas empeoran a la tarde. Estas son las dos caractersticas ms notables de Allium
cepa.
No es extrao que las damas antiguas acostumbraran aplicarse cebollas en los odos para
mitigar esos dolores y alrededor del cuello para dolor de garganta. La cebolla est
indicada muy frecuentemente en casi todos los climas para los efectos del fro. Est
indicada en la coriza, gripe, influenza, producidos por vientos hmedos y fros y
usualmente hay una cefalalgia de origen congestivo. Excoriacin de la nariz y lagrimeo
acuoso, suave siempre; secrecin copiosa, acuosa, de la nariz que siempre tiene
excoriaciones. Irritacin de la laringe y de la garganta que se extiende al pecho.
Irritacin de la nariz. En 94 horas alcanza a la laringe. Tos provocada por el cosquilleo
en la laringe y cuando esta acostado de noche en una habitacin clida. Al ir a la cama
de noche tiene Allium la mayor agravacin del malestar. He odo describir por algunos
pacientes los dolores de la laringe al toser, diciendo que sintieron como si un gancho
desgarrase la garganta cada vez que tosa.
Laceracin en la laringe a cada acceso de tos. Estornudos e irritacin de todas las mucosas
y esa tos lancinante, con todos los sntomas empeorando en una habitacin clida y por
la tarde; es sorprendente de cmo la cebolla mejora ese "resfro". Ahora consideraremos
las particularidades de la coriza. Entre los primeros sntomas se observarn los
estornudos, que aparecen con creciente frecuencia. Gotas ardientes de la nariz fluyen,
queman como fuego, y producen excoriacin en el labio superior y las alas de la nariz
hasta que estn rojas e irritadas. El fluido nasal es excoriativo y el de los ojos suave.
Tngase en la mente, que cuando estudiamos Euphrasia encontraremos justamente lo
opuesto. Hallaremos exactamente una secrecin similar acuosa de la nariz y un copioso
lagrimeo; pero las lgrimas son acres y las destilaciones de la nariz suaves. La
destilacin nasal de Cepa justamente corroe hasta los pelos del labio superior. Y hay
tanta congestin que el paciente tiene una sensacin de plenitud en la nariz, con
palpitaciones y ardor, y algunas veces epistaxis. Dolores en las mandbulas, en la cara;
y estas molestias se extienden a la cabeza. Dolores de cabeza frontales, embotantes, y
dolores en el occipucio; las cefaleas muy graves y los ojos no pueden afrontar la luz:
dolores lacerantes, con palpitaciones como si la cabeza se fuera a partir.
Ahora hay otra fase de este medicamento. No se bien por qu los sntomas comienzan del
lado izquierdo y marchan hacia la derecha, pero es usual que ello suceda as. Hay una
replecin de la nariz, descarga acuosa, acre desde el lado izquierdo y en 24 horas se
invade el lado derecho. "Secrecin nasal profusa". Los resfros despus de los vientos
hmedos del nordeste". Esto es, despus de los vientos fros, hmedos, que pueden
soplar desde diferentes direcciones en diferentes localidades. Coriza fluida con cefalea,
lagrimeo, prdida de apetito, tos y temblor al aire libre". "Cada ao en agosto, coriza
matinal, con estornudos violentos, y mucha sensibilidad al perfume de las flores y al
tacto de la piel de los duraznos. Esta es una forma de la fiebre de heno que cura muy
bien Allium cepa. Eliminar un ataque de fiebre de heno en pocos das si los sntomas
concuerdan. Ud. puede saber que la verdadera naturaleza de la fiebre de heno no se ha
entendido generalmente. Se trata solamente de una explosin de una enfermedad
crnica, esto es, es una manifestacin de psora y puede ser erradicada por un
tratamiento antipsrico. Muchas veces he visto fiebre de heno eliminada en una
estacin por Allilum que es un medicamento de accin transitoria, pero que vuelve en
la prxima, exactamente en la misma forma, y tal vez se necesita otro remedio para
evitar el ataque. Tan pronto como se detiene la fiebre de heno Ud. debe comenzar con
un tratamiento constitucional. Habr sntomas, si Ud. sabe como captarlos, que difieren
en conjunto de los del ataque agudo. Cuando est la fiebre de heno, estos sntomas no
aparecen. Es difcil encontrar un remedio constitucional cuando la fiebre de heno est
en su apogeo, por su semejanza con una enfermedad aguda; pero es una manifestacin
de psora, a semejanza de otras manifestaciones como erupciones, tos, etc. La nariz
puede manifestar solamente una cierta fase de la enfermedad crnica en una temporada
que puede ser adecuada a Allium cepa. Yo recuerdo en que tuve oportunidad de
prescribir Allium cepa a larga distancia. Fue cerca de una farmacia homeoptica.
Cablegrafi al farmacutico para que enve Allium cepa a mi paciente, y l as lo rotul.
Mi paciente guard la botella y la us en la estacin siguiente, pero no le hizo bien.
Este es precisamente el caso, incluso cuando los sntomas parecen concordar. En una
dolencia psrica es insuficiente un medicamento de efectos transitorios; puede ayudar
por un da solamente y debe administrarse el remedio de accin profunda que abarca al
paciente tanto como a la fiebre de heno y a todos los otros sntomas. El mejor momento
para tratar la fiebre de heno es cuando desaparece el ataque agudo y hasta cuando se
inicia otra vez en la prxima estacin. Puede suceder segn una forma muy modificada,
diferente de cualquiera que el paciente haya tenido nunca, y requiere un remedio
distinto .
Ese ser el caso en que el medicamento constitucional ha sido seleccionado adecuadamente.

En estas corizas la inflamacin se difunde rpidamente a los odos, a la garganta y a la
laringe. Las madres de antao acostumbraban poner cebollas en los odos de los nios
cuando tenan dolores. Esto no es sorprendente, cuando vemos todos los dolores y
molestias que pertenecen a este medicamento. Tensos dolores desde la garganta hacia la
trompa de Eustaquio. Violentos dolores de odos incluso con emisin de pus.
Campanadas en los odos. Punzadas en los odos desde la frente. Dolores como de
cuerdas tirando de lo profundo dentro de la cabeza. Dolores lacerantes, punzantes con
tos convulsa, con coriza, con laringitis. Un caso de medicina hogarea es cuando se
conserva Pulsatilla como remedio corriente para dolores de odos y ello es tan cierto
que slo ocasionalmente debe recurrirse al mdico. Pulsatilla tiene tal afinidad por el
odo que cura dolores de odos en todos los nios que lloran lastimeramente. Pero en
aquellos que son regaones y que nunca se conforman y que arrojan alguna cosa por la
cual preguntaban y que abofetean a la niera deben tener Chamomilla. Con Pulsatilla,
Chamomilla y Allium cepa Ud. puede curar la mayora de los dolores de odo en los
nios.
Asimismo, tambin como a los sntomas oculares que acompaan a los fros de Allium
cepa. Recuerde que cuando las lgrimas son suaves, no obstante el ardor en los ojos las
lgrimas no producen excoriacin cuando fluyen hacia abajo por las mejillas. Lagrimeo
profuso, suave, por la tarde en una habitacin clida.
Todos conocemos cun flatulento vegetal es la cebolla. Es un medicamento maravilloso

para nios con clicos. Dolores cortantes, lacerantes que dan la impresin al pequeo
de ser cortado casi en dos, a nivel del bajo abdomen y grita. "Dolores punzantes en el
abdomen". "Dolores clicos que se inician en la regin heptica y se irradian sobre todo
el abdomen, peores alrededor del ombligo; al estar sentado". Allium cepa es un remedio
maravilloso en la tos ferina y cuando es indicado el nio tendr a menudo indigestin,
vmitos y flatulencia. Allium cepa cura una dolencia spera, sensible, sanguinolenta en
el ano de los infantes.
Molestias agudas de la voz, ronqueras catarrales; expectoracin mucosa abundante de la

laringe. Inflamacin violenta de la laringe que aparece muy rpidamente, con esa tos de
la que he hablado, y esa laceracin en la laringe. Algunos lo describirn como una
sensacin de que si algo se aflojara. Aquellos que lo describen ms exactamente dirn
que se siente como si un gancho se estuviera arrastrando por la laringe hacia arriba con
cada acceso de tos. Cosquilleo en la laringe con ronquera. En la tos convulsiva se
observa el mismo dolor que en la laringe. El nio se sacude y se estremece y Ud. ,
puede ver como teme la tos a causa del lacerante dolor de la laringe. Con todo, una
corriente caliente aumentar el cosquilleo, al punto de provocar la tos al paciente. As
que la tos se agrava con el aire fro y con la habitacin calefaccionada. Los fros se
trasladan a veces a los bronquios y son acompaados de fiebres y pulso rpido. Si hay
cosquilleo en la laringe, la tos por inspirar aire fro, peor en una habitacin caliente en
la tarde, con dolores lacerantes en la laringe, Allium cepa lo curar . La tos es
espasmdica semejante al crup o a la tos convulsa, Cepa tiene antecedentes para la tos
de crup. La dama mayor que ata cebollas en la garganta del nio con crup, en el oeste
americano, donde no hay mdicos, es de lejos mejor que los tratamientos de la vieja
escuela alpata.
He aqu una hermosa y buena descripcin de los Sntomas Gua: "Tos espasmdica, ronca,
spera, excitada por el cosquilleo constante en la laringe; que produce un dolor spero
desgarrante en la laringe, tan agudo y tan grave como para compeler al paciente a estar
encogido por el sufrimiento, y para realizar cualquier esfuerzo para suprimir la tos".
"Tos larngea grave que lleva al paciente a manotear la laringe; siente como si la tos
fuera a desgarrarla. Esto es totalmente diferente al estado Aconitum, cuando el nio
despus de estar expuesto a un viento fro y seco, se despierta antes de la medianoche
con una tos perruna, ronca y se agarra la laringe. As Aconitum no puede reemplazar a
Allium cepa.
Otra afeccin sobre la cual este medicamento tiene un poder maravilloso es la neuritis
traumtica, encontrada a menudo despus de una amputacin con el mun. El dolor es
casi intolerable, terminando pronto con las fuerzas del paciente.

them they can indeed cause insanity and madness, [a10].

Allium cepa (Hering)
Common Onion. Liliaceae.

In use as a medicine since time immemorial.
Among the Egyptians it was hung up in noxious corners, carried about with one, taken for
the consequences of bad water, used for the sting of insects, animal poisons, even the bite of
the mad dog; it was applied as an irritant and to mature abscesses, even carbuncles; then it
was used for frozen feet by Dioscorides, who states that it is "efficacious when feet are
rubbed sore, " a symptom confirmed by the provings and verified in our practice.
Then it was also used as a remedy for promoting the growth of hair and hoofs, as also for
destroying warts and corns; it was given for the sequelae of "white and black measles in the
body.
" Dioscorides gave it for podagra.
It was considered an eye remedy and an ear remedy, serviceable in angina and for
loosening mucus if it rattled in the throat and bronchia of children and old people.
It was given against flatulence and to promote the catamenia as well as the flow of urine.
Dioscorides, and physicians following him, among the Arabians, had a glimpse of the truth
of similia, for they used the onion to cure the symptoms they knew it was capable of
producing; but with Galen all reasonable investigation ceased.
It is mentioned in the Old Testament under the name Bejel, which the Hebrews craved, as
in our time coffee and tobacco are craved.
Homer mentions it in Iliad XI, 629, and in Odyssey, XIX, 233.

Caractersticas.- Teste coloca a All. sat. en el grupo de Bryonia junto con Lyc., Dig., Nux
v., Coloc., Ign., todos ellos actan con mucho poder en animales carnvoros y casi no en
herbvoros. Todos se adaptan a personas que estn dispuestas a excederse en la mesa,
tienen constitucin fuerte, tez obscura, carnes firmes, aunque ocasionalmente
dispuestos a la obesidad. El paciente de All.sat. es ms bien un gourmet ms que un
glotn. Se adapta a personas que comen ms que beber. En la esfera mental hay
ansiedad e impaciencia. Temor de que no se recupere; que no ser capaz de tolerar
ninguna medicina; temor de ser envenenado. Teste ha curado con l, dispepsia crnica
en personas robustas, de edad, cuyos intestinos eran trastornados por la menor
irregularidad en la dieta; catarro crnico bronquial con expectoracin profusa mucosa;
asma peridico; un caso de disnea permanente; reumatismo de la cadera; hinchazn de

condimento desde tiempos antiguos, y tambin como un remedio contra vermes y
fiebre. Aunque muy relacionado a All. cepa, es incompatible con l, y no muy
semejante en su accin. Produce cefalea en relacin con trastornos digestivos y tambin
con la menstruacin. Cefalea pesada, apenas puede abrir los ojos, > al comenzar las
reglas, < despus. Oftalma catarral retorna cada noche o al tratar de leer. Coriza,
hmeda, seca, delgada, fluente, con dolores presivos arriba de la raz de la nariz. Encas
escorbticas; boca adolorida. All. sat. es uno de los medicamentos para la sensacin de

de Cepa son como un hilo). Copiosa saliva dulce. La digestin se trastorna por la menor
irregularidad en la dieta. Presin en el epigastrio y colon transverso > por la presin y

vulva y muslos, mamas hinchadas y dolorosas al tacto. Hay algunos sntomas
espiratorios caractersticos. Catarro bronquial con expectoracin gelatinosa, difcil. Tos,
que da un aliento muy ftido como Capsicum. Tos cuando fuma. La cadera es el lugar

iliaco < al menor movimiento, aunque puede levantar la extremidad con las manos. La
piel es muy sensible, seca, arrugada. Prurito herptico, ardor, manchas rojas o
blanquizcas o superficie hinchada. Calvicie, caspa, piel se despelleja de las manos. La
piel es ajustada en las articulaciones. Se adapta a personas robustas y aquellos de un
buen vivir. Cambios de temperatura <. Al aire libre < problemas del pecho. Humedad
caliente < dolores en miembros. Tiempo hmedo fro causa dolores desgarrantes y
aguijoneantes en diferentes partes del cuerpo. Leyendo < sntomas de la boca y ojos.
Agravacin al leer es notable. Se encuentra tambin en Cina. El vrtigo de All. sat.
aparece por ver por largo tiempo y fijamente cualquier cosa: esto es probable, en
esencia, la misma modalidad como < por leer. Muchos sntomas son < al anochecer y
noche; tambin en la maana al despertar. Sentado doblado >; presin < dolores del
abdomen. Cada paso causa dolor excruciante en intestinos. Caminando < dolores en
extremidades.

heces, an cuando sean slidas, salen involuntariamente sobre todo al eliminar flatos, al
orinar o de noche en cama, est inseguro de su esfnter, no confa en l; tiene la
sensacin de prdida de contraccin de su esfnter, est pendiente de l, le parece que
cada vez que elimina un flato, va a salir algo de materia fecal o no sabe que va a salir;
siempre est con miedo de que salgan materias fecales; gente que siempre ensucia algo
su ropa interior (Schmidt). Deseo urgente e imperioso, brusco, de mover el vientre, con
gran dificultad para contener las heces, que lo levanta temprano de la cama (de 3 a 9
a.m. [Sulphur]), o cuando pasan flatos calientes, que es lo nico que elimina, volviendo
pronto la urgencia, con sensacin de tapn rectal y ardor anal despus de los flatos.
Deseos constantes de mover el vientre: a la maana al despertar (o lo despierta), despus
de comer o beber, al levantarse, al estar parado, al orinar, al eliminar gases. Diarrea con
las caractersticas ya expresadas, en chorro, con abundancia de flatos, con heces
amarillas o sanguinolentas en grandes trozos gelatinosos, transparentes; por ira, por
cerveza, por fruta, peor en verano, parado o caminando, despus de comer o beber.
Constipacin. Hemorroides azules, en paquetes como racimos de uvas, ardientes,
dolorosas (no tolera el menor contacto), sangrantes, peor durante la menstruacin, mejor
por aplicaciones fras; con intenso prurito y ardor anal que impiden dormir.
* 20- Incontinencia de orina en viejos, hipertrofia de prstata con sensacin de tironeo hacia
abajo y nicturia. Cada vez que orina, siente como si fuera a salir un trocito de materia
fecal.
21- Deseo sexual aumentado en el hombre, peor despus de despertar y de comer. Pene
arrugado y fro.
* 22- Dolores como de parto en el tero, extendidos a recto y muslos. Menstruaciones

adelantadas y abundantes, con pesadez rectal. Prolapso de tero con tironeo hacia abajo,
peor parada y durante la menstruacin; tero pesado, no la deja caminar. Metrorragias de
la menopausia.
23- Toses en invierno. Disnea con puntadas de hgado al trax. Hemoptisis.
** 24- Lumbago que alterna con cefaleas y hemorroides. Dolor en sacro, peor sentado y
movindose.
25- Piel caliente y seca, sin fiebre; prurito en invierno. Se destapa de noche en cama (Kent).
Complementarios: Sulphur. Se parece a Sulphur, Aesculus y Kali Bichromicum.
ALOE SOCOTRINA (Nash)
Inseguridad rectal; sensacin de que el recto est repleto de un lquido pesado que va
a salir y que en efecto sale si el paciente no va inmediatamente al bao. Diarrea.
Heces slidas que salen (en grandes masas redondeadas) en forma involuntaria e
inadvertida.
Gran plenitud y pesantez en todo el abdomen, con sensacin gravativa en el recto y

hemorroides haciendo procidencia como un racimo de uvas; > por aplicaciones de agua fra.
Este remedio debe ser estudiado junto a Podophyllum porque tambin es otro de los
llamados catrticos y aunque el uno lo sea tan decididamente como el otro, las notas
caractersticas que guan para elegirlos son muy diferentes.
Los dos tienden a agravarse durante el tiempo caluroso.
Los dos tienden a agravarse por la maana.
Los dos son a menudo bien complementados por Sulphur.
Pero veamos ahora algunos de los sntomas ms marcados y peculiares de Aloe:

Heces amarillas, de aspecto fecal, sanguinolentas o de mucus gelatinoso transparente.
Algunas veces este mucus gelatinoso (Kali bichromicum) aparece en grandes masas o
"esputos" y escapa del recto en forma casi inadvertida. Tambin las heces son expulsadas con
frecuencia involuntariamente al emitir gases o durante la miccin. Se presenta no slo una
debilidad real del esfnter anal, sino tambin una penosa sensacin de debilidad. Se siente el
recto como repleto de un lquido pesado que va a salir o a escapar del cuerpo y que lo hace si
el enfermo no "corre" al bao inmediatamente. El sntoma de Aloe, escape de materia fecal al
expulsar gases, tiene su rplica en Oleander y no hay dos remedios que sean ms semejantes
respecto de esto, aunque tambin se les asemeja Muriatic acidum. Otro sntoma igualmente
muy caracterstico en la diarrea de Aloe est constituido por "intensos ruidos en el abdomen
inmediatamente antes de la deposicin". Adems, la sensacin de peso ya mencionada no
siempre queda circunscripta al recto, sino que tambin se la puede experimentar en toda la
pelvis y en el abdomen. Asimismo, en Aloe el recto hace procidencia como un racimo de
uvas y esto se mejora por la aplicacin de agua fra. Muriatic acidum, en cambio, es aliviado
por aplicaciones calientes. Estos dos remedios tienen hemorroides azuladas, pero las de Aloe
presentan un intenso prurito, mientras que las de Muriatic acidum son muy dolorosas y muy
sensibles al tacto, an al roce de las sbanas. Adems de las agravaciones ya referidas, la
diarrea de Aloe empeora tambin por la marcha o por estar de pie, y despus de comer y
beber. En la disentera hay violento tenesmo, calor en el recto, postracin que puede llegar
hasta el desfallecimiento y abundante transpiracin viscosa.
-La debilidad del esfnter anal tambin puede existir en la constipacin y se trata de
un sntoma tan curioso que no lo hubiera credo si no lo hubiera visto con mis propios ojos.
"Heces slidas que salen involuntariamente, que escapan sin ser advertidas." Una vez fui
llamado para tratar a un nio de cinco aos de edad que sufra desde su nacimiento de una
forma de constipacin sumamente rebelde. Lo deban obligar a sentarse en la bacinilla y
mantenerlo all llorando y gritando todo el tiempo, pero a pesar de esto era totalmente
incapaz de expulsar ni la menor cantidad de heces, ni siquiera despus de un enema. Despus
de haber ensayado en vano varios remedios, le ped a la madre que diera vuelta al nio (ste
estaba en cama) a fin de examinarle el ano y el recto. Al levantar las ropas de cama para
hacerlo, apareci en el lecho un voluminoso trozo de materia fecal slida. "Vea, Doctor", dijo
la madre, "esto es lo que ocurre: A pesar de que no puede mover el intestino cuando lo
intenta, a menudo encontramos esas cosas en la cama y l no sabe cuando salen, ni tampoco
nosotros." Entonces prescrib unas pocas dosis de Aloe 200 y toda la enfermedad se cur en
forma rpida y permanente.
Aloe, como Podophyllum, tiene igualmente prolapso uterino y guan para su eleccin
la sensacin de calor, de pesadez y de plenitud en el abdomen, la pelvis y el recto. Tambin
como en Podophyllum, su accin, aunque de campo no muy dilatado, es efectiva, segura y
satisfactoria.
ALOE SOCOTRINA (Lathoud)
Aloes o aloe socotrina, planta Lilicea, florece en verano en pases meridionales.
Las diferentes dinamizaciones homeopticas se obtienen partiendo de la tintura madre

preparada con el jugo espeso de la planta.
Acta sobre el SISTEMA VENOSO y los rganos donde dicho sistema predomina,
HGADO y BAZO.
Pero sus efectos se sienten principalmente en el sistema de la vena porta; por la PLTORA
que causa provoca en ambos sexos IRRITACIN DE TODOS LOS RGANOS DEL
BAJO VIENTRE con marcada predileccin por el APARATO GENITAL FEMENINO.
Dice Kent: "ALOE" se parece mucho a AESCULUS en que provoca un infarto, una pltora
venosa que produce una sensacin de plenitud en todo el organismo, localizndose ms
en las venas del sistema portal con gran sensacin de congestin heptica, abdominal,
intestinal y rectal".
Dice Manquat en su Tratado de Teraputica: "aloe congestiona el recto por intermedio de las
venas hemorroidales, y en particular los rganos genito-urinarios juntamente con todos
los del bajo vientre; puede resultar una sensacin de pesadez renal y en las caderas,
hemorroides en los predispuestos a ellas, deseos frecuentes de orinar y hasta aborto.
Gubler atribuye la congestin rectal, accin biliar sobre la misma regin, y efecto de la
estasis venosa del hgado sobre las venas mesentricas".
En resumen, aloe causa efectos fisiolgicos de superactividad, de plenitud venosa tal, que por
la intensidad de su irritacin probablemente corresponda mejor al perodo agudo de los
cuadros en los que es indicado, debidos a congestin y pltora venosas.
Caractersticas
CONSTITUCIN Y TIPO: "Es indicado para los grandes comilones, pletricos, sedentarios,
intoxicados por las sales de uratos y oxalato de cal; para los diabticos, cuya orina reduce
el licor de FEHLING, algunas dosis de ALOE y de OXALIC ACID. bastan para
descongestionar el hgado, ese gran amo del metabolismo alimenticio, y el bulbo,
particularmente en la base del 40. ventrculo, con lo que los pseudo-diabticos se sienten
mejor y su orina se normaliza. (Dr. Amieux en "La Revue Franaise d'Homopathie" -
Abril 1924).
Restablece el equilibrio fisiolgico cuando el paciente ha ingerido demasiadas drogas,

especialmente cuando a raz de ello no se distinguen los sntomas patolgicos de los
drgales. "ES UN CLARIFICADOR DE SNTOMAS" como sulfur y a veces NUX
VOM. (Dr. Amieux, loc. cit.).
LAS DEPOSICIONES Y LOS SNTOMAS INTESTINALES son tan importantes que a

veces ellos solos determinan la indicacin del remedio : SENSACIN DE PLENITUD
EN HGADO, ABDOMEN E INTESTINOS, LO MISMO QUE EN EL RECTO. A esto
se unen las HEMORROIDES. Siente DOLORES ABDOMINALES QUE LE OBLIGAN
A EVACUAR, como NUX VOM.; dolores que circundan el ombligo y se irradian al
recto.
Trastornos disentricos o diarreicos; en la diarrea, LAS HECES SON EXPULSADAS EN

UN CHORRO ACUOSO AMARILLO, OFENSIVO, EXCORIANTE, ARDIENTES
COMO FUEGO Y DEJAN EL ANO DOLORIDO, o bien la materia expulsada es como
gelatina. DIFCIL RETENCIN DE LAS HECES, pues la materia escapa
espontneamente. No puede dar salida al gas sin que al mismo tiempo salgan heces. Con
esta diarrea de aloe, LOS GASES DISTIENDEN CONSIDERABLEMENTE EL
ABDOMEN produciendo sensacin de hinchazn y plenitud por lo que el paciente debe
ir con frecuencia al bao. Esta PERDIDA DEL TONO ESFINTERIANO ANAL ha
permitido resultados brillantes en pequeuelos que al comenzar a caminar dejan escapar
involuntariamente heces bajo la forma de pequeas masas mucosas y sustancias
amarillas. Esta prdida de tono del esfnter se presenta no slo en las formas diarreicas,
sino bajo la forma de fragmentos duros y redondos, sin que el paciente se de cuenta de
ello. En resumen, TODA INGESTIN OBLIGA AL PACIENTE A EVACUAR CON
PRISA Y PRECIPITACIN. Esta diarrea puede ser ocasionada tambin por comer
OSTRAS FUERA DE POCA, durante grandes calores o en la poca de su
reproduccin. BEBER AGUA da igual resultado. El efecto de comer ostras puede ser
alejado o atemperado con LYCOP., pero si da lugar a algn tipo benigno de clera, el
remedio es ALOE.
Modalidades
A) Agravacin
DESPUS DE HABER COMIDO O BEBIDO: ello provoca clicos, diarrea, aunque a veces
los clicos pueden ser seguidos de CONSTIPACIN.
POR LA CERVEZA; el remedio es til para los malestares causados por la cerveza an en
viejos bebedores (KALI BICHR). POR LAS OSTRAS (LYCOP)
A LA MAANA TEMPRANO. POR LA VIDA SEDENTARIA y el CALOR (igual que

todos los remedios venosos).
B) Mejora
POR UN VIENTO O POR UNA DEPOSICIN. POR EL TIEMPO FRO Y EL AGUA
FRA, que excitan la circulacin.
Sntomas mentales
Sumamente excitable durante el sufrimiento, localizado en el vientre; fcilmente enervado e

irritable por las crisis de clicos; descontento y enojado consigo mismo; irritado por sus
males, la vida es para ellos una carga; aversin por el movimiento, odia a la gente
Estos sntomas son propios de los viejos bebedores cansados, flemosos, hipocondracos.
Cabeza
Congestin manifiesta simultneamente con congestin y pltora intestinal, consecuencia de

estasis venosa unida a la del sistema portal; dolor de cabeza frontal, pesadez sobre los
ojos y nuseas, todo agravado a cada paso que da (BELL., BRYON.), y por el calor, en
cambio mejora por el fro y aplicaciones fras. Puede alternar con lumbago, que puede
venir luego de una deposicin insuficiente. Cuando hay pltora y retencin oxalrica, el
paciente tiene cefalea o lumbago, o ambas cosas, y si la eliminacin de oxalatos y uratos
se hace bien, se produce la descongestin y liberacin de la cabeza, aunque persista el
malestar intestinal y uterino.
Cara
La cara de ALOE puede ser plida o turgescente, signos de congestin venosa o de

subictericia de origen heptico. Los labios pueden estar enrojecidos, como en sulfur,
hinchados, agrietados o resquebrajados. Los ojos son brillantes, a veces rojos y saltones;
mirada vacilante que expresa ansiedad; a veces siente necesidad de cerrar los prpados
como si la visin de objetos le fatigase. La punta de la nariz puede estar roja, no as el
resto de la cara.
Aparato digestivo
1) ESTMAGO: La necesidad de desintoxicarse continuamente le hace desear cosas

jugosas; por lo mismo, la saturacin por pltora le hace rechazar alimentos,
particularmente la carne.
La congestin gstrica es causa de nuseas y dolor de cabeza. Igualmente, por la pltora,

despus de comer tiene flatulencia con latidos en el recto e irritacin sexual.
Cuando da un traspi o pisa mal, dolor fuerte en la boca del estmago. (Dr. Amieux).
2) ABDOMEN: Aloe es eminentemente UN REMEDIO HEPTICO. Es el

congestionante del sistema portal, segn se le suministre en dosis ponderables u
homeopticas. (Dr. Amieux).
SENSACIN DE DISTENSIN, PLENITUD, CON FLATULENCIA Y BORBORIGMOS.
Sensacin de que el vientre va a estallar, y los fuertes borborigmos pueden ser percibidos
por una persona que se halle cerca. GRAN DISTENSIN DEL COLON QUE
METEORIZA EL ABDOMEN. La distensin contina an despus de la expulsin de
gas en cantidad. CLICOS EN EL PLANO SUPERIOR ABDOMINAL que obligan a
estar sentado y doblado en dos, lo cual calma (COLOC.). Los dolores pueden llegar a los
costados del abdomen, no encontrando el paciente ninguna posicin que le calme.
SENSACIN DE DEBILIDAD EN EL VIENTRE COMO DE DIARREA. (PODOPH.).

Como en SULFUR, puede existir gran deseo de evacuar, que lo despierta temprano
3) RECTO Y DEPOSICIONES : Necesidad urgente de evacuar, para slo dar paso a un

gas caliente que procura calma por poco tiempo, pues el deseo reaparece pronto (NATR.
SULF.) (Kent). Gases ofensivos, ardientes, copiosos; gases abundantes y heces pequeas
(AGAR);al expulsar gas, sensacin de que la materia saliese con l (OLEAND., MUR.
AC., NATR. MUR). (Allen).
Diarrea con sustancia amarilla en forma de gelatina transparente o sanguinolenta; a veces esa
sustancia sale sin que el sujeto se aperciba de ello. LA DEPOSICIN SALE
INVOLUNTARIAMENTE segn el Dr. Amieux; ello se debe al edema de mucosa ano-
rectal que encontramos a menudo. Antes de la deposicin, abundante gas y borborigmos;
puede haber tambin dolores y clicos sobre todo a la derecha del abdomen. Durante la
deposicin, abundante gas y tenesmo; si hubo clicos antes, despus de la deposicin
sudores y sensacin de debilidad; cada posible del recto, calmada con agua fra
(MURIAT. AC. tiene igual sntoma pero calmado con agua caliente).
Hemorroides color azulado con mucho prurito que calma por el agua fra. (Las hemorroides
de MURIAT. AC. calman con agua caliente).
Aparato urinario
Sensacin de pesadez y agrandamiento de la prstata. No hay que olvidar que ALOE es un

oxalrico y un urmico.
rganos genitales
1) MASCULINOS: La congestin venosa del bajo vientre ocasiona gran irritacin

sexual.
2) FEMENINOS: Reglas muy frecuentes y abundantes, con sensacin de

adormecimiento en el recto, sobre todo estando de pie.
El tero le pesa, y por eso no puede caminar. (SEPIA, etc.).
Dolores como de parto, principalmente en los riones, que se extienden a las piernas.
Dolores en la parte baja de la espalda, aumentados por el movimiento. Puntadas a travs del
sacro. LUMBAGO ALTERNANDO CON DOLOR DE CABEZA Y HEMORROIDES.
Sensacin de malestar en los miembros. Dolores de arrancamiento en las articulaciones.

Planta del pie dolorosa al caminar.
Relaciones
En los estados venosos, ALOE tiene relaciones muy ntimas con SULFUR, y estudiando los
remedios cuidadosamente veremos que tambin con KALI BICHR., SULF., AESC., y
aloe existe gran relacin en las partes estomacal e intestinal.
ALOE NO ES, SIN EMBARGO, un remedio constitucional de accin tan profunda y larga
como sulf., pero tampoco es de tan corta duracin como ACON. o BELL. Los malestares
de aloe aparecen con rapidez moderada.Se parece a BRYON. al no actuar sobre la fuerza
vital tan profundamente como SULF. (Kent).

ALOE (Kent)
El aloe, muy semejante a Aesculus, tiene una peculiar ingurgitacin de las venas, causa
embotamiento y plenitud a travs del cuerpo pero el mayor trastorno se encuentra en el
sistema porta con una gran plenitud en la regin del hgado, as como abdominal, rectal
e intestinal. Esto se relaciona con hemorroides. Tiene dolores abdominales que lo llevan
a evacuar en forma semejante a Nux vomica; dolores cortantes calambre alrededor del
ombligo que descienden hacia el recto. Trastornos disentricos y diarrea. En los ataques
diarreicos hay una emisin de heces delgadas, amarillas, ofensivas, excoriativas que
arden como fuego y el ano est dolorido. Contiene las heces con dificultad, no se atreve
a apartar su pensamiento del esfnter por que en cuanto se descuida las heces escaparn.
No puede permitir el escape de la menor flatulencia porque con ello habr una salida
violenta de heces. Con la diarrea de Aloe el abdomen est distellido con gases,
causando una sensacin de plenitud y tensin y debe evacuar a menudo. Los
pequeuelos, poco despus que comienzan a caminar evacuarn involuntariamente
sobre la alfombra, pequeas porciones amarillas de heces y mucosidades. Algunas
veces la madre castiga a los pequeos, pero ello no puede ayudar, pues no puede
contener las heces que salen involuntariamente. Hay una falta de control del esfnter.
No siempre este estado est limitado a la diarrea por que algunas veces los chicos dejan
salir, involuntariamente, trozos de heces pequeas, duras, parecidas a piezas de mrmol.
Incluso no se dan cuenta cuando evacan. Hay una relajacin del recto y una saliencia
del ano con hemorroides sangrantes. Cada bocado de comida lo impele a evacuar hasta
cuando toma agua. Diarrea por comer ostras fuera de la estacin. Ud. puede estar
dispuesto a dar Lycopodium, por que en los textos el empozoamiento por ostras es
colocado bajo Lyc. Yo no s si ser justificado decir que en emponzoamiento por
ostras en la estacin es Lyc., y fuera de la estacin es Aloe, pero hay un efecto
tremendamente ponzooso por ostras en el tiempo caluroso y en la poca de
reproduccin que no se encuentra en ningn otro momento. Mucha gente tiene nuseas
y vomita varios das despus de comer ostras. Ahora, cuando aparece este grupo de
sntomas lo curar Lycopodim y eliminar la tendencia a enfermarse por ostras. Pero si
Ud. advierte que aquellos enfermos tienen trastornos semejantes a clera al comer
ostras en la estacin clida Ud. encontrar que precisamente el remedio es Aloe.
No ha sido bien probado este medicamento, de aqu que yo me he referido a las cosas en
que es usado clnicamente. Est ms cercanamente relacionado con Sulphur en su
patogenia venosa que cualquier otro remedio. Si Ud. estudia conjuntamente Kali
bicromicum, Sulphur y Aloe, quedar sorprendido por sus maravillosas relaciones en la
patologa gstrica e intestinal.
Entre los pocos sntomas mentales advertimos que, "Ella saba que morira en una semana",
"La vida es una carga". "Indispuesta para moverse". Muy poco se trasluce para que
podamos distinguirlo; se dan solamente algunas pocas cosas comunes a muchos
medicamentos. El paciente de Aloe es muy excitable cuando est bajo la influencia del
dolor que se encuentra generalmente en el abdomen. Dolores como clicos, flatulencias
en el abdomen hasta la desesperacin; ella se hace extremadamente irritable y excitable
en estos ataques. Un sntoma algo sorprendente es, "Odia a la gente, rechaza a todos".
La congestin de la cabeza que sucede durante los trastornos intestinales, es una
especie de estasis venoso tal como se encuentra en el sistema porta. "Cefalalgia en la
frente". "El dolor de cabeza se agrava por el calor y se alivia con aplicaciones fras". La
agravacin por el calor y el alivio por el fro transcurre a travs de Aloe. El paciente
desea estar en una habitacin fra; se siente acalorado y abochornado; la piel est a
menudo caliente y seca; l desea estar descubierto en la cama durante la noche; ardor en
las extremidades, calor en las manos y pies fros o, alternando, manos fras y pies
calientes. Siente la cabeza ardiente y desea algo fro sobre ella. Esto corresponde al
calor de la superficie, pues no hay fiebre. Sensacin de calor superficial, sensacin de
congestin y plenitud en la superficie del cuerpo; plenitud y congestin venosa por
sobre todo el cuerpo. Son comunes en este medicamento la salida de sangre venosa de
la nariz, los intestinos, la vejiga; sangra general. Las venas se tornan varicosas y la piel
est caliente. Mucho calor en los orificios del cuerpo; los ojos, la boca y la garganta
estn calientes y arden. Hay una sensacin de sequedad, ardor y excoriacin alrededor
del ano.
En el tema "Comer y beber" encontramos "Borborigmos abdominales enseguida despus de

cenar". Hay clicos en los intestinos despus de comer y beber incluso cuando no hay
diarrea! y hasta cuando hay un estado de constipacin. Este medicamento es til para
las molestias de los viejos bebedores de cerveza en los que se producen estados
diarreicos. En las personas que tienen una diarrea cada vez que toman cerveza Ud. la
encontrar ms de las veces que Aloe concuerda con los sntomas, pero algunas veces
ser Kali bicromicum, pues estos dos medicamentos son muy semejantes en los
sntomas gstricos e intestinales. "Eructos con opresin del estmago".
Aqu hay otra instancia de la tendencia a la congestin de capilares y venas. "Vmitos de

sangre" y sangre de los intestinos. Hay mucho dolor en la regin heptica, ardor y calor,
etc. Mayormente Ud. encontrar distensin y plenitud en el hipocondrio derecho. Es un
medicamento muy bueno para el hgado. Su accin no es tan profunda como Sulphur.
Ud. encontrar a menudo que Aloe servir como un paliativo cuando habr de ser
seguido por Sulphur, Sulph. ac., Kali bricromicum, o Sepia, los medicamentos que
siguen a Aloe y son complementarios finalizando su trabajo. Aloe har un buen
comienzo en estos trastornos del hgado cuando hay gran plenitud, distensin, dolor
punzante en la regin del hgado y una piel seca, caliente, ardorosa sin aumento de
temperatura. Aloe tiene alguna fiebre, pero esta sensacin de calor de la piel y sequedad
est desprovista de fiebre y es tal como se encuentra en pacientes psricos. No hay
suficientes pruebas. para demostrar si Aloe produce erupciones de alguna extensin o
no, pero si tal cosa podra probarse esto lo colocara entre los antipsricos. No es un
medicamento de accin profunda de larga duracin como Sulphur, aunque todava no
de accin tan breve como Aconitum o Belladona. Los dolores aparecen solamente con
un moderado grado de rapidez. Puede estar relacionado muy bien con Bryonia, que no
penetra tan profundamente en la sustancia viva como Sulphur.
Tal vez una de las ms sorprendentes caractersticas del estado abdominal es la plenitud,
distensin y borborigmos. Parecera como si el abdomen fuera a reventar y los
borborigmos son tan grandes que pueden ser escuchados por cualquiera en la
habitacin. La evacuacin gorgotea con un ruido como de agua que sale de una canilla.
La descripcin de los autores antiguos habla como de un chisporroteo, por el cual las
heces salen acompaadas de flatulencia con gorgoteo y chisporroteo. El abdomen
aparece tan distendido como siempre incluso despus que han salido gran cantidad de
gases. No hay alivio. El dolor se siente especialmente a travs del abdomen, alrededor
de las caderas.
La gran distensin del abdomen con sensacin de empujar a travs del colon transverso, as
como en el ascendente y descendente; dolor, gorgoteo, borborigmo, pesadez y
sensacin de presin hacia afuera. "Retorcijones y dolor de presin en la parte superior
del abdomen alrededor del ombligo que lo obliga a estar encorvado que lo alivia".
"Sensacin de debilidad en el abdomen como resultado de la diarrea". Algunas veces la
debilidad es muy grande, tanto que se ve obligado a guardar cama con su diarrea y est
tan exhausto que Ud. a menudo se equivocar y pensar en Podophyllum, pues en este
medicamento hay una gran distensin, tremendo gorgoteo, mucha flatulencia, gran
borborigmo en los intestinos y los trastornos aparecen a las 4 de la maana. Aloe es
semejante a Sulphur, otra vez, en lo que lo saca fuera de la cama a la madrugada con
diarrea, y hay momentos cuando saca los pies de las cobijas para enfriarlos; las plantas
de los pies arden y l los destapa. Retorcijones en el abdomen y sensacin de debilidad.
"Dolor en todo el abdomen, especialmente a los lados del ombligo". Est tan sensible el
abdomen que no puede encontrar una posicin confortable. "Dolor embotado
abdominal como despus de haber tomado fro repetidamente por la maana y por la
noche".
Ahora hay sntomas abdominales relacionados al hecho de ser mujer y no a la diarrea.

"Sensacin como si un tapn estuviera obstruyendo el espacio entre la snfisis del pubis
y el hueso coccgeo". "Dolores como de parto en las ingles y en las espaldas peores al
estar con el perodo". El Aloe ha curado el prolapso del tero cuando estaba relacionado
con plenitud. Calor de la superficie del cuerpo, tendencia a la diarrea matinal, sensacin
de tirantez abajo del tero y de taponamiento entre la snfisis pubiana y el coxis.
Arrastre hacia abajo como si todas las partes de la pelvis fueran empujadas. Una
sensacin como si algo fluyera en la vagina y en la pelvis.
"Ante la necesidad de evacuar, solamente se emiten gases, dando alivio, pero se vuelve
urgente a lo mismo". Tambin es til en enfermos crnicos de estos trastornos, aquellos
que sufren de constipacin, que pasan varios das sin evacuacin, pero sienten la
necesidad y deben ir al bao y entonces slo emiten gases. Natrum sulphuricum
superar muy comnmente este estado. "Heces acuosas, grumosas". Es sta una
caracterstica fuerte de Aloe; apelotonamientos duros mezclados con una evacuacin
acuosa; los bultos estn en el agua o en el lquido fecal; pequeos terrones semejantes a
estircol de ovejas. En la constipacin las heces son apelotonadas, semejante a bolitas
de mrmol. Algunas veces estos pequeos ndulos permanecen un largo tiempo en el
recto sin ninguna urgencia por evacuar, y finalmente escapan inconscientemente,
encontrndose en la ropa. Entera prdida de sensacin en el ano, una anestesia sin sentir
el paso de la evacuacin.
Muchos de los trastornos de Aloe son de carcter disentrico, con un estado inflamatorio
agudo del recto y de la porcin inferior del colon; emisin de sangre y de mucus
amarillo como jalea. Algunas veces el paciente de Aloe no emitir nada ms que
grandes cantidades de esta jalea mucosa amarilla. No olvide Aloe para hemorroides que
forman como un racimo de uvas. "Picazn y ardor en el ano que impide dormir". El
paciente se ve impelido a masajear el ano con el dedo; es tan violenta la comezn que
no puede dejarlo solo; parecera que lo llevara hasta el frenes. Solamente encuentra
alivio aplicando algo fro. Una caracterstica comn de Aloe es que los ungentos
aumentan el ardor. El paciente de Sulphur tampoco puede soportar cualquier aplicacin;
es ponzoosa para l y aparecen erupciones.
Dondequiera que una mucosa se inflama se forma un depsito de mucus espeso como jalea.
Si hay una ulceracin o mculas aftosas o una superficie inflamada a veces se
despellejan porciones de mucus gelatinoso gruesas como de cuero. Es el momento en
que la parte inferior del recto est en este estado y el paciente dir que la evacuacin
apelotonada est endurecida en jalea. La evacuacin apelotonada en Graphites aparece
como encerrada en una sustancia coagulada como clara de huevo. Algunas veces el
paciente de Aloe, antes de evacuar, expele mucus gelatinoso, espeso, que ha ocupado la
porcin inferior del recto. Aloe ha curado un caso de estenosis rectal en el cual estaba
indicado por estos sntomas. La estenosis impide a toda la materia fecal marchar hacia
el ano, pero el recto se llenaba tres o cuatro veces por da e impulsaba al paciente a
expulsar una cantidad de mucus gelatinoso. Las heces que podran ser forzadas eran
escasamente ms grandes que un cao de pipa. Se ha dicho que nuestras medicinas no
son capaces de curar el estreimiento pero algunas veces lo hacen. Si ellas pueden curar
al paciente es maravilloso como la naturaleza normalizar todos los tejidos inflamados
y el conducto se torna normal. Esto se ha visto muchas veces en la estrechez de la
uretra y en la constriccin del recto.

Caractersticas.- Aloe es uno de los ms antiguos y ms famoso medicamento. Su uso

mundial como un purgante hasta el presente y forma un ingrediente principal en gran
nmero de medicamentos de patente para regularizar los intestinos y funciones
menstruales. El uso habitual de este medicamento lo lleva a toda clase de trastornos
plvicos, y el hecho que Sulphur antdota al Aloe, cuenta para el xito de Sulphur como
un medicamento para el comienzo de muchos casos crnicos donde los purgantes han
sido usados. Aloe se asemeja a All.s. muy cercanamente. Causa congestin de varias
partes, especialmente el abdomen, rganos plvicos y cabeza. Una periodicidad est en

One of the oldest and most famous drugs, largely cultivated, and in use as a horse-

It was brought from the Sultan of Muscat, by a physician, in the service of the U. S. Navy,

Alstonia constricta (Allen)
Alstonia (constricta ?).

Dr. Augustus Cathcart, Am. Hom., vol. i, p. 142, effects of large doses (from the bark).
Invariably producing great debility and general prostration, or low fever often also with
diarrhoea and when pushed sufficiently far, rigors, sweats (usually cold), and other
symptoms resembling fever and ague.
ALSTONIA SCHOLARIS (Farrington)
Alstonia segn se ha experimentado, produce debilidad, fiebre astnica frecuentemente

acompaada de diarrea y cuando su uso contina, hay sudores, diarrea, calambres y vrtigo.
Clnicamente se ha usado en los escalofros y la fiebre; en la diarrea de origen malrico,
compitiendo en esto con China y para las fiebres intermitentes crnicas suprimidas por la
quinina.
Contiene Ditaina, la que como Curare paraliza los filamentos nerviosos motores perifricos.
Pero no va precedido de excitacin refleja como sucede en Cinchona. La Ditaina
envidentemente paraliza los nervios vasomotores. Parece semejarse a China en la diarrea,
escalofro, etc., pero no tiene la irritabilidad de este ltimo medicamento.

el suelo fuera blando. Dolor como luxado en el hombro, puntadas en las caderas y
rodillas. Dolores desgarrantes en la rtula y piernas, extendido a los dedos de los pies.
Hemipleja; parlisis. Se le duermen los talones cuando camina y las nalgas estando
sentado.
** 41- Suea con ladrones.
* 42- Escalofros al anochecer en cama; despus de dormir, al despertar. Fiebre de un Eolo

lado del cuerpo, especialmente del derecho.
** 43- Prurito en la piel, sin erupcin, peor por el calor de la cama; debe rascarse hasta que
sangra o est en carne viva. Piel muy seca, nunca suda.
Complementarios: Bryonia - Sepia - Causticum.
ALUMINA (Nash)
Inactividad del recto; an las heces blandas exigen un gran esfuerzo.
Anemia en mujeres que tienen apetencia de almidn, de tiza, de telas, de carbn, de

clavo de olor y de otras cosas anormales y ridculas; no toleran las papas; leucorrea profusa.
Gran pesadez en los miembros inferiores, estn dbiles, tiene que sentarse;
adormecimiento de los talones; sensacin de un hierro caliente clavado en la espalda.
La principal caracterstica que conduce al empleo de este remedio consiste en su
peculiar constipacin: "Inactividad del recto; an las heces blandas exigen un gran
esfuerzo."
Como en Bryonia, no hay deseo de de poner y la constipacin parece depender de la

falta de secrecin de los folculos mucosos. Por lo dems, conviene a sujetos flacos y secos.
Existen otros puntos de semejanza entre estos dos remedios y ellos se complementan bien
uno al otro. Ambos son excelentes medicamentos para la constipacin infantil, que es a
menudo una afeccin muy rebelde a la medicacin. Anacardium, Sepia, Silicea y Veratrum
album son los parientes ms cercanos en esta prdida del poder expulsivo del recto.
-Alumina es uno de nuestros remedios para los estados clorticos. La paciente est
plida, dbil, fatigada, debe sentarse para descansar. Los perodos son escasos, atrasados y de
coloracin plida cuando se presentan; despus del perodo la enferma est agotada y plida.
(Carbo animalis y Cocculus). Hay, adems, una leucorrea copiosa que algunas veces corre
hasta los talones si la enferma no tiene colocado un pao. (Syphilinum.)
Estas pacientes anmicas tienen a menudo una gran apetencia de almidn, de tiza, de
telas, de carbn, de clavo de olor y de otras cosas ridculas y anormales. Alumina es un gran
remedio en tales casos. La clortica de Natrum muriaticum no puede comer pan o tiene
aversin hacia l. La paciente de Alumina no puede comer papas, porque no las tolera.
Pulsatilla no puede comer alimentos grasosos, pasteles, etc. Alumina se asemeja a Pulsatilla
en los catarros nasales crnicos y los dos son de temperamento inclinado al llanto, pero su
constitucin es diferente, pues Alumina es seca y delgada y Pulsatilla, flemtica.
Un hecho que olvid mencionar al referirme al recto y las deposiciones es que

Alumina constituye uno de los mejores recursos para las hemorragias intestinales de la fiebre
tifoidea. La sangre sale en grandes cogulos de aspecto slido como el del hgado.
-Este remedio es tambin muy eficaz para los males crnicos de la "garganta", como
la disfona de los oradores. Hay "dolor, sensacin de carne viva, ronquera y sequedad". Esta
sequedad produce una continua disposicin a la carraspera y despus de un largo tiempo el
paciente desprende una pequea cantidad de flema espesa y consistente. Este estado de la
"garganta" es temporariamente aliviado por las comidas y bebidas calientes. El remedio que
ms se aproxima a esto es Argentum nitricum, pero en Argentum hay en la garganta
excrecencias o granulaciones verrugosas. Ambos remedios tienen una sensacin de astilla en
la garganta, la cual existe tambin en Hepar sulphur, Dolichos y Nitric acidum. En Alumina
hay asimismo una sensacin de constriccin en la garganta y el esfago, acompaada de
dolor durante la deglucin.
-Alumina est recomendada para los siguientes sntomas que a menudo aparecen en la
ataxia locomotriz: "Gran pesadez en los miembros inferiores; puede apenas arrastrarlos;
durante la marcha se tambalea y tiene que sentarse; en la primera parte de la noche." "Slo
puede caminar con los ojos abiertos y durante el da." "Adormecimiento del taln al dar el
paso." "Dolor en la espalda, como si un hierro caliente estuviera introducido a travs de las
vrtebras." Doy estos sntomas basndome en la autoridad de otros, porque nunca los he
verificado.
Quiero agregar aqu una breve referencia al valor de

ALUMINA (Lathoud)
Es un xido de aluminio que durante mucho tiempo fue confundido con la cal o la slice, y su
identificacin se debe a Guyton de Morveau que fue el primero en aislarlo del alumbre.
En la naturaleza est presente en muchas formas; casi puro en el corindn, el zafiro, el
rub, y combinado en los feldespatos, las micas, las arcillas y en numerosos otros
compuestos naturales.
La almina pura se obtiene en estado de hidrato gelatinoso precipitando una solucin de sal
soluble de aluminio por el carbonato de amonio. La almina anhidra se precipita
calcinando el hidrato de almina o tambin el alumbre amoniacal. Se presenta bajo la
forma de un polvo blanco muy fino, suave al tacto, sin color ni sabor, que se adhiere a la
lengua. Es insoluble en el agua.
Las tres primeras dinamizaciones se preparan por trituracin, y las ms altas, por dilucin
hahnnemaniana.
SOBRE EL SIMPTICO Y NERVIOS QUE PARTEN DE LA MEDULA. LOS

MSCULOS inervados por ellos CARECEN DE ENERGA; GRAN DEBILIDAD EN
TODA LA ECONOMA; dificultad en la deglucin, estado de parlisis esofgica,
dificultad en levantar y mover los brazos, parlisis de un costado del cuerpo o parapleja,
parlisis vesical o rectal. Al principio es una inactividad general durante un tiempo ms
bien largo, y termina en estado de completa parlisis. TODO ES MAS LENTO EN EL
PACIENTE DE ALUMINA; conductibilidad nerviosa desminuda; un pinchazo en las
extremidades es sentido un instante despus. Los dems sentidos estn igualmente
debilitados, conduciendo a un adormecimiento general de la conciencia, estupefaccin de
la inteligencia a neta pereza mental; todo lo que impresiona llega al espritu con marcada
lentitud (Kent).
MUCOSAS SECAS, no obstante, puede haber por un tiempo MUCOSIDAD ESPESA,

AMARILLA, DIFCIL DE ARRANCAR.
Caractersticas
CONSTITUCIN Y TIPO: El remedio acta sobre los individuos secos, DELGADOS,

POSTRADOS. De aspecto ARRUGADO Y DESECADO; que dan la impresin de
VIEJOS PREMATUROS; o REALMENTE VIEJOS. Nias clorticas en el momento de
la pubertad, chicos delicados, alimentados artificialmente. GRAN CONSTIPACIN, A
CAUSA DE INACTIVIDAD RECTAL; HASTA LAS DEPOSICIONES BLANDAS
REQUIEREN GRANDES ESFUERZOS PARA SU EXPULSIN.
Como BRYON., mucosas muy secas y no siente necesidad de evacuar; ambos actan en
sujetos delgados y "secos". Ambos se complementan, y se prescriben principalmente en
la CONSTIPACIN infantil, juntamente con ANACARD., SEPIA, SILIC., VERATR.,
para esta prdida de poder expulsivo rectal (Nash).
Modalidades
A) Lateralidad
Izquierda superior, derecha inferior.
B) Agravacin
POR LA MAANA AL LEVANTARSE: hora de agravacin de la sintomatologa; la orina es

expulsada con lentitud, miembros incapacitados, paciente dolorido, atontado, confusin
mental, duda de su propia identidad. EN UNA HABITACIN CALIENTE. DESPUS
DE HABER COMIDO PAPAS. Peridicamente, en particular en tiempo fro y seco, y
sobre todo el cambio a tiempo seco; a veces lo mejora la humedad (Dr. O. Luser).
C) Mejora
AL AIRE LIBRE; no obstante, la falta de calor vital le hace buscar el calor y ropas abrigadas.
POR LAS ABLUCIONES FRAS.
Sntomas mentales
CONFUSIN MENTAL, EL PACIENTE ES INCAPAZ DE TOMAR DECISIN. Y la

accin sobre el sistema nervioso cerebro-espinal se resume as: perturbaciones de la
coordinacin; la personalidad psquica, sobre todo la intelectual, esfera de la
representacin y del juicio, perturbada en su proceso de asociacin e interrumpida. Estas
interrupciones estn en relacin con los otros reflejos de la mdula(Dr. O. Luser).
JUICIO TRASTORNADO; incapacidad de entender; lo que sabe o sabia, no le parece ya
cierto. No sabe distinguir la verdad del error; ideas confusas, sus pensamientos no son
claros.
SE EQUIVOCA AL HABLAR Y AL ESCRIBIR. PERTURBACIN DE LA CONCIENCIA

DE SU PROPIA PERSONALIDAD; inseguro de su propia identidad. Cuando habla o
mira, cree que es otra persona la que habla o mira.
Vive bajo un estado de prisa. Nada marcha o se hace a su gusto; EL TIEMPO PASA
LENTAMENTE. Una hora le parece medio da. ARG. NITR. tiene un sntoma
semejante, siempre apurado, no termina nada. A CANN. IND. un segundo de tiempo le
parece una eternidad, junto a gran excitacin y locuacidad. Medorr. tambin tiene
sensacin de que el tiempo pasa lentamente; es un antiguo gonorreico que mejora a la
orilla del mar. NUX VOM. considera que el tiempo no pasa bastante rpido
ES IMPULSIVO; temor al ver sangre o instrumentos en punta. Cualquier instrumento que
pueda servir para un homicidio, le provoca ideas suicidas. (Kent).
ESTA TRISTE, SE LAMENTA SIN CESAR; SE ATAREA SIN DARSE TREGUA; esto se
acompaa siempre de un estado de precipitacin; cambia frecuentemente de lugar, quiere
irse, se va, vuelve, a veces no recuerda ni su nombre, y teme enloquecer; a veces ya se
cree loco. Esto lo vemos tambin en ACT. RAC., CALC., OSTR., ACON., ARG. NITR.,
LIL. TIG., MANCIN., MEDORR. etc.
A veces el estado mental mejora un poco y el mal humor se transforma en un estado de

TRANQUILIDAD, CALMA, para dar nuevamente paso inmediato al estado anterior.
La mayora de los sntomas mentales aparecen al despertar, los nios despiertan

ASUSTADOS, como en AESC., LYCOP., Y LACH.
Cabeza
DOLOR DE CABEZA CON NAUSEAS Y VMITOS, mejoran comiendo (ANAC.).

VRTIGOS, propios de gente agotada por la fatiga, o de viejos gastados. Al cerrar los
ojos, VRTIGO semejante al de las afecciones medulares cuando hay esclerosis de
cordones posteriores. Sntomas semejantes a los de la ATAXIA LOCOMOTRIZ; al
comienzo de la ataxia ALUM. detendr el proceso mrbido.
Cara
Cara plida con LLAMARADAS DE CALOR DESPUS DE COMER; o alternancias

rpidas de palidez y enrojecimiento. Erupcin con pequeos puntos pruriginosos, con
sensacin de telaraa sobre la piel (BAR. CARB., BROMIUM, BORAX, GRAPH.), o
sensacin de tensin como de una fina capa de albmina seca (PHOSPH. etc.). Los
labios secos, hendidos, agrietados.
Aparato digestivo
1) BOCA: Seca, especialmente de maana al despertar. Puede haber acumulacin de

saliva amarga, o dulzona, o cida.
2) GARGANTA Y ESFAGO: Garganta seca y dolorida; mucosa seca, como barnizada;

alimentos deglutidos con dificultad; sensacin COMO SI TUVIESE UNA ASTILLA O
ESPINA DE PESCADO; (HEP. SULF., CALC., NITR. AC., ARG. NITR., NATR.
MUR., DOLICH.). ANGINA CRNICA DE LOS ORADORES. La angina de ALUM.
se desarrolla en individuos flacos con ronquera, sensacin de carne viva en la garganta,
deseos de escupir frecuentemente, especialmente despus de esforzarse por expectorar
esputos mucosos, espesos y viscosos; este estado se calma temporalmente con alimentos
y bebidas calientes. ARG. NITR. se le parece mucho, y presenta granulaciones en la
garganta.
SENSACIN DE OPRESIN LARNGEA Y ESOFGICA, con dificultad para tragar.
3) ESTOMAGO: AVERSIN A LA CARNE (GRAPH., PULS. Y ARNICA).

TAMPOCO LE AGRADAN LAS PAPAS, que agravan su tos, y le causan diarrea y
flatulencia. COLOC. tambin se agrava con papas y farinceos (Kent). LA SAL, EL
VINO, VINAGRE, PIMIENTA Y LICORES tambin lo agravan ni bien termina de
ingerirlos. Otros remedios espinales como zinc. tienen la misma agravacin por los
licores, que prcticamente los envenena y agrava todos sus males. En cambio desea
LEGUMBRES, FRUTAS Y ALIMENTOS SEMILQUIDOS. GENERALMENTE
SEDIENTO, con deseos de cosas no comestibles, como cal. carbn, lo mismo que
CALC. CARB., CIC. VIR., NUX VOM. Y NITR. AC.
En realidad, NO SIENTE DESEOS DE COMER; come muy poco a la vez. Puede decirse
que EN ESTE REMEDIO NO EXISTE LA DIGESTIN. Tendencia catarral y ulcerativa
de la mucosa gstrica, y a indigestarse a la menor ingestin. Eructos frecuentes, amargos
o cidos; vmitos alimenticios biliosos o mucosos;todo esto puede acompaarse de
nuseas, vrtigos, pirosis y flatulencia (Kent).
4) ABDOMEN Y DEPOSICIONES: Ambos hipocondrios afectados, principalmente el

derecho, pues en ALUM. el HGADO es sede de muchos sntomas. CONSTIPACIN
POR INACTIVIDAD RECTAL POR PERDIDA DE SU PODER EXPULSIVO
(ANAC., SEPIA, SILIC., NATR. MUR.). HASTA UNA DEPOSICIN BLANDA
CUESTA MUCHO EXPULSAR. El deseo de mover el vientre se presenta mucho tiempo
antes con dolores, y exige grandes esfuerzos. Pero puede haber tambin ausencia
absoluta de deseo (OPIUM, BRYON., COLLINS., SANIC.). Fiebre tifoidea con
hemorragias intestinales en cogulos consistentes parecidos a pedazos de hgado (Nash).

necesidad constante de sentarse
Dolores de espalda como si un hierro candente le atravesara las vrtebras.
Dolores lancinantes del sacro a la nuca.
Pesadez en los brazos, parecen paralizados. Puntadas rpidas y repetidas en el antebrazo.

Comezn bajo las uas que se rompen.

ALUMINA (Kent)
Este medicamento viene exactamente despus de Alumen, que tiene mucha Alumina en su
composicin y depende grandemente de la Alumina, que constituye su fundamento, por
su forma de actuar. Se me ocurre emitir una pequea sugerencia. Cuando Ud. tiene una
buena prueba substancial de un xido o un carbonato y se ponen bien en evidencia los
sntomas mentales, Ud. puede utilizarlos en forma presuntiva, prescribiendo otra sal,
con la misma base, que tiene algunos pocos sntomas mentales en sus demostraciones.
Por ejemplo, Ud. tiene un grupo de sntomas decididamente relacionados con Alumen.
Los sntomas mentales de Alumen, .sin embargo, no han sido puestos en evidencia en
todo su alcance, pero Ud. tiene todava los sntomas mentales de base de Alumina, que
es el xido, as que si el paciente tiene los sntomas mentales de Alumina y los sntomas
fsicos de Alumen, Ud. puede presumir racionalmente que Alumen curar a causa del
Aluminum en cada uno.
Conocemos cabalmente los sntomas mentales de Alumina. Se apodera especialmente del

intelecto y confunde tanto a la inteligencia que el paciente es incapaz de tomar una
decisin; se trastorna el criterio. Est imposibilitado de darse cuenta; las cosas que
conoce o ha conocido como reales le parecen irreales, y duda si lo son o no. En la Gua
de Sntomas ello no est plenamente expresado pero en las Enfermedades Crnicas
tenemos un registro de stas que es la mejor expresin de ello en todas partes que
suceda. All leemos: "Cuando dice algo l siente como que otra persona lo hubiera
dicho, y cuando l ve algo, es como si otra persona lo hubiera visto o como si pudiera
transferirse a s mismo en otro y solamente entonces pudiera ver". Vale decir hay una
confusin de la mente, una confusin de ideas y pensamientos. Han sido curados esos
sntomas. Es confusa la conciencia de su identidad personal. El paciente no sabe
exactamente quien fue. Le parece haber pensado que no fue el mismo. Est en una
confusin mental. Se equivoca al escribir y al hablar; usa palabras que no debe
emplear; equivocadas. Confusin y oscuridad en el pensamiento.
Incapacidad para coordinar pensamientos.
Entonces se inicia otro estado en el cual le sobreviene un deseo de apresuramiento. Nada

transcurre con suficiente presteza; el tiempo le parece que pasa muy lentamente; cada
cosa se demora; nada anda bien. Aparte de eso el paciente tiene sus impulsos. Cuando
ve instrumentos filosos o sangre, le nacen impulsos a causa de los cuales se estremece.
Un instrumento que podra ser utilizado para matar le causa deseos de hacerlo;
impulsos suicidas.
El paciente de Alumina est constantemente triste. Incesantemente quejoso, atormentado,

irritable y apurado. Desea irse lejos de este lugar, con la esperanza que las cosas sean
mejores; lleno de miedo. Toda clase de imaginaciones. Una suerte de aprehensin
general. Cuando piensa sobre ese estado mental cree que va a perder la razn. Piensa
acerca de ese frenes y confusin de la mente, de como difcilmente recuerda su propio
nombre y de cun irritable es y se pregunta si no se est volviendo loco y finalmente
realmente piensa que est enloqueciendo.
La mayora de los sntomas mentales aparecen a la maana al despertarse. La tristeza y los

lloros al levantarse a la maana. Sus modalidades alternan. Algunas veces su estado
mental mejora un poco y su humor cambia a un estado quieto, plcido, y otra vez
vuelve al temor y a la aprehensin. Algo malo va a suceder y se llena de ansiedad.
Ansiedad por el futuro. La caracterstica ms sorprendente siguiente es la forma en que
acta el medicamento sobre los nervios espinales. Hay un estado de debilidad de los
msculos inervados por estos filetes; debilidad de todo el cuerpo. Hay dificultad en
tragar, un estado de parlisis del esfago; dificultad de elevar o mover los brazos;
parlisis de un lado del cuerpo o parlisis de los miembros inferiores o de la vejiga y
del recto. El estado de parlisis comienza como una especie de semi-parlisis, por largo
tiempo apenas como inactividad, que aumenta y se extiende hasta una enfermedad de
parlisis completa.
Todo se hace ms lento. La conductividad de los nervios se ve perturbada, de modo que el

pinchazo de un alfiler en alguna de las extremidades se siente recin algunos segundos
ms tarde. Todos sus sentidos quedan daados de esa manera hasta significar en
realidad un entorpecimiento de la conciencia y parece una especie de estupefaccin del
intelecto, una pereza mental. Las impresiones llegan a su mente con sensible lentitud.
El estado paraltico es caracterstica del remedio y puede observarse en varias partes de

numerosas maneras. La vejiga lo manifiesta con la lentitud con que pasa la orina. Una
mujer debe estar largo rato sentada hasta que comienza a fluir, imposibilitada de ejercer
presin sobre l; y entonces la orina fluye lentamente. La paciente explicar que no
puede acelerar el flujo de orina. Esta lentitud es observada tambin en el recto. Se
pierde su tono y le es imposible realizar el esfuerzo comn al sentarse para mover el
vientre; el recto est tan pattico que puede hallarse lleno y distendido, con una enorme
cantidad de heces, y sin embargo, aunque la deposicin es blanda, existe constipacin
En este remedio hay frecuentemente una deposicin dura, pero notamos que el remedio
acta mejor cuando existe esta partica afeccin del recto con deposicin blanda. Sin
embargo, si se observan los sntomas mentales, tal cual los he descrito, con deposicin
grande, dura y nudosa o aterronada, Alumina lo curar . Ahora bien, es tal el esfuerzo
por evacuar una deposicin blanda que suele orsele a la paciente describir el estado en
la siguiente forma: Sentada sobre el inodoro debe esperar largo rato, a pesar de existir
plenitud y haber pasado varios das sin deposicin; tiene conciencia de que debera
evacuar y que el recto est lleno, por lo cual est sentada largo rato y finalmente se
decide a ayudarse presionando violentamente hacia abajo con los msculos
abdominales, esforzndose vigorosamente, y por fin comprende que es muy poco el
esfuerzo que hace el recto en si. Continuar haciendo fuerza, cubierta de abundante
sudor, apoyndose sobre el inodoro si hay algo en que apoyarse, y empujar y se
esforzar como si fuese un parto, hasta que finalmente puede expeler una deposicin
blanda, aunque todava con la sensacin de que queda ms excremento.
Naturalmente, hay una cantidad de otros remedios que tienen este esfuerzo para evacuar,
pero los mismos tienen sus propias caractersticas. Veamos por ejemplo el caso de una
persona que no puede mantenerse despierta; dice que le resulta imposible leer una lnea
sin dormirse; que se duerme permanentemente; sufre noche y da por tener la boca seca
y la lengua se le clava en el paladar. Dejmosle ahora describir este estado de esfuerzo
y de lucha para expeler una deposicin blanda y no necesitaremos ms para saber cul
es el remedio. Si esa paciente, adems de lo que ha dicho, nos explica que suele
desvanecerse si permanece de pie durante largo rato, que se siente molesta en una
habitacin cerrada y que sufre toda clase de malestares al aire libre, es Nux moschata
Ustedes ven ahora qu fcil es que los remedios hablen; cuentan su propia historia.
Supongamos que acude a ustedes una mujer que ha estado sufriendo hemorragias,
sangra prolongada, que se halla plida y dbil y est distendida por la flatulencia, con
abundantes eructos y gases, y cuantos ms gases despide peor se siente; tiene estos
mismos sntomas de tener que esforzarse largo rato para evacuar una deposicin blanda,
tremendo esfuerzo con inactividad en el recto. No podran hacer otra cosa que darle
China. Dejando que los remedios hablen y cuenten su propia historia se consigue la
individualizacin. Digo todo esto para demostrar que ustedes no deben basarse en la
inactividad del recto para decidir respecto del remedio. La individualizacin debe
hacerse a travs del paciente. Se trata de un principio que no debera ser violado jams.
Pueden disponer ustedes de una veintena de remedios, todos poseedores de cierto
sntoma, pero si tienen unas pocas cosas decididas y reales que puedan decir acerca del
paciente, la forma en que maneja sus asuntos, la manera en que la enfermedad afecta al
hombre en su totalidad, entonces dispondrn de algo en que basarse para la
individualizacin. Han visto ustedes el paciente Alumina, al paciente China y al
paciente Nux moschata. La nica obligacin del mdico es tratar al enfermo, lo que
significa estudiar al paciente mismo hasta alcanzar una idea de la enfermedad.
Esta medicina abunda en vrtigo; el paciente tiembla, vacila, las "cosas giran alrededor"
casi constantemente. Corresponde al vrtigo de gente cansada, viejos pacientes
quebrantados, hombres desgastados por la edad. El vrtigo tambin viene al cerrar los
ojos, tal como se encuentra en las afecciones espinales, en la esclerosis de los cordones
laterales posteriores. Alumina ha producido afecciones anlogas a ataxia locomotriz.
Produce entumecimiento en las plantas de los pies, dolores lancinantes, vrtigo al cerrar
los ojos, causa vacilaciones y perturbaciones de la coordinacin. Es verdad que en la
primera etapa de la ataxia locomotriz Alumina controlar el proceso de la enfermedad
poniendo en orden el estado interno de la economa. Con Aluminum metallicum he
hecho cesar dolores lancinantes en casos viejos e incurables, y mejorado en forma
maravillosa los reflejos, evidenciando as la mejora general del paciente.
La mayora de los sntomas se presentan al levantarse por la maana. Por la maana, como
ya he dicho, la orina sale ms lentamente que cuando ya el paciente se ha movido algo
y ha calentado un poco su cuerpo. Sus miembros estn ms tiesos por la maana, y a
esa hora debe avivar su estado mental. Se levanta confuso y se pregunta dnde est . Se
lo notar especialmente en los nios -se despiertan por la maana en estado de
perplejidad, como el que suele hallarse en Alumina, Aesculus, Lycopod. Debe fijar la
mente en las cosas para cerciorarse de lo que son stas, de qu aspecto tienen, y duda si
est en su casa o en algn otro lugar.
Abundan los dolores de cabeza con nuseas y vmitos. Los dolores de cabeza lo atacan
siempre que toma fro. Esto se debe probablemente al estado catarral. El paciente
Alumina sufre casi constantemente por sequedad de las mucosas, la nariz est seca,
tapada, especialmente en uno de los lados, por lo comn el izquierdo. Siente la nariz
llena de obstrucciones, membranas secas o costras, viejo catarro atrfico, costras en los
orificios posteriores de la nariz y en la fosa de Rosenmuller. Grandes costras verdes,
ofensivas en toda la nariz. Ahora viene la relacin con el dolor de cabeza. Cada vez que
toma fro la espesa secrecin amarilla afloja y da paso a una secrecin acuosa. Entonces
el paciente tiene dolor en la frente, sobre los ojos, que le atraviesan la cabeza, con
nuseas y vmitos. Cuando habla de dolor de cabeza por catarro crnico se refiere a
eso. El dolor de cabeza estando acostado. Tiene dolores de cabeza enfermizos y dolores
de cabeza peridicos. Vern que Alumina corresponde a una constitucin que puede
llamarse psrica vieja, constituciones dbiles, quebrantadas, constituciones
escrofulosas, como las propensas a tubrculos y afecciones catarrales.
Es marcada la tendencia catarral de este remedio. Se hallan catarros siempre que existan
mucosas. La Alumina afecta en forma extensiva la piel y las mucosas, por ejemplo, la
piel interna y externa, las superficies del cuerpo. El paciente expectora
permanentemente, se suena la nariz abundantemente y sufre secreciones de los ojos.
Abundan las perturbaciones de la visin originadas en estado catarral, de las cuales
podemos hablar ahora. Obscurecimiento de la visin, como si se mirase a travs de la
niebla, a veces -se explica- como a travs de un velo. Nebulosa oscuridad de la visin.
Hay tambin perturbaciones en los msculos de los ojos, de los msculos del globo y
del msculo ciliar. Visin dbil y cambiante. La debilidad paraltica, como la que
pertenece a todo el remedio, se encontrar en ciertos msculos, o conjuntos de msculos,
de modo que los anteojos pueden ser ajustados con gran dificultad. La actividad de los
msculos oculares est perturbada.
El estado catarral se extiende hacia arriba a la parte posterior de la nariz y los orificios
posteriores estn llenos de costras y mucus duros, y al mirarle la garganta ustedes vern
que el paladar blando y las mucosas de las amgdalas y la faringe y todas las partes que
se alcanza a ver se hallan en un estado de granulacin, estn hinchadas, congestionadas
e inflamadas. Se siente sequedad en la faringe y hay una sensibilidad crnica y dolor.
Al tragar los alimentos se siente picazn y la impresin de que la garganta est llena de
palitos, especialmente tras un momento de descanso. Mejora humedecindola y
tragando. En el aire nocturno, despus de permanecer inmvil un rato, se produce una
acumulacin de mucus pegajoso. Esto se extiende hasta dentro de la laringe, con
aspereza en sta y en el pecho, y una tos crnica, seca, cortante. El mismo estado
catarral baja al esfago, que queda sensible y funciona mal. El paciente traga con
dificultad. El bolo baja tras un esfuerzo y se lo siente en su descenso. Existe dolor y
mal funcionamiento, paresia y dificultad para tragar. Esta debilidad paraltica recuerda
al paciente que debe hacer un pequeo esfuerzo para tragar, y esa deglucin se siente
mientras la materia desciende, como si el esfago estuviese sensible. Hay un estado
catarral de estmago, intestinos y recto, de manera que con la deposicin blanda y
dificultosa hay a menudo acumulacin de mucus. Existe tambin una afeccin catarral
de la vejiga, riones y uretra, y una vieja gonorrea se ver prolongada a una secrecin
catarral o blenorrgica. A veces no se trata de blenorragia, pero la secrecin se mantiene
durante muchos meses y en lugar de un blanco lechoso claro, como es natural en los
casos ms prolongados de gonorrea, se mantiene amarilla e indolora. Lo mismo sucede
con la vagina; es una secrecin espesa, blanca amarillenta, a veces excoriativa. Vemos
as, en la constitucin que hemos descrito, que un estado catarral extensivo pertenece al
remedio.
Cuando pasamos a la piel comprobamos que sta toma un estado de cosas similar. El
paciente sufre toda clase de erupciones. La piel se marchita, se seca y est sujeta a
erupciones, engrosamiento, induracin, ulceraciones, resquebrajamientos y sangra. Las
erupciones pican ms con el calor de la cama. La piel pica, an cuando no haya
erupcin, al calentarse en la cama, de modo que el paciente se rasca hasta hacer sangrar
la piel. Esto presenta respecto a las erupciones, una idea que ustedes debern
considerar. Acude a ustedes un paciente cubierto de costras y dice: "Cuando entro en
calor por la noche? tengo que rascarme y me rasco hasta que la piel sangra". Ahora
bien, en Alumina es muy importante comprobar si estas costras fueron causadas por
rascarse o si la erupcin surgi como erupcin de comezn, pues en Alumina al
principio no hay erupcin, pero el paciente se rasca hasta perturbar la piel y entonces se
producen las costras. Aqu Ud. debe prescribir no para la erupcin, sino para la
comezn de la piel sin erupcin. Ahora bien, en Mezereum, Arsenicum, Dolichos y
Alumina, la piel pica y el paciente se rasca hasta hacerla sangrar; entonces se siente
aliviado. Naturalmente despus de esto hay una aparente erupcin porque se forman
costras. Tan pronto como comienza la cicatrizacin comienza tambin la picazn, y el
paciente slo se siente aliviado cuando la piel est en carne viva. Con la sangra y la
humedad de la piel.hay alivio en la picazn. Ahora bien, algunos libros no hacen
distincin entre picazn sin erupcin y picazn con erupcin, y por consiguiente la
generalidad de los mdicos jvenes piensa que la comezn de la piel debe estar siempre
relacionada con erupcin, y cometen un error al calcular que clase de erupcin es. La
piel se engrosa, se endurece y se ulcera, y existen induraciones debajo de las lceras.
Hay un estado inactivo tanto de la mucosa como de la piel, con tendencia a la
induracin. El engrosamiento de la mucosa aparece en todas partes; despus del
engrosamiento llegan pequeas ulceraciones, y con el curso del tiempo se forman
induraciones en las bases de las lceras. Lo mismo sucede con la piel. Sequedad y
ardores en todas partes y lo mismo puede decirse de todas las mucosas y de la piel en
general..
Prpados granulosos crnicos. Si volcamos los prpados hacia abajo veremos que la
mucosa est engrosada. Algunas veces este engrosamiento o hipertrofia provoca un
vuelco de los prpados como ectropin. "Las pestaas caen hacia afuera"; eso est de
acuerdo con el estado general. Se le caen los pelos en todo el cuerpo. Varias partes
quedan desprovistas totalmente de pelo; el del cuero cabelludo se cae abundantemente.
Toda clase de ruidos en los odos, zumbidos, etc., y perturbaciones en los odos; otorrea
purulenta.
"Punta de la nariz resquebrajada" es algo acorde con el remedio. Induracin aqu y all, lo
que favorece el lupus y el epitelomia en quienes estn sujetos a estas hinchazones y
erupciones. La Alumina y Alumen, como Ars., Lach., Sulph. y Conium, son medicinas
que se relacionan con estos inconvenientes. Algunas de ellas han hecho curas brillantes
cuando existe infiltracin. Sobre la piel de la cara y de otras partes del cuerpo hay
hormigueo. Comezn, especialmente cuando entra en calor. Sensacin de tensin.
Sensacin peculiar alrededor de la cara y en otras partes que no cubre la ropa, una
sensacin de clara de huevo seca sobre la cara, de sangre seca, de tener una telaraa
sobre la cara. Quien haya pasado alguna vez por un lugar en el que haba telaraas y
una de stas le ha pasado sobre la cara conocer la sensacin de hormigueo que produce
y sabr que no puede abandonarla mientras no se quite la telaraa de encima. Esa
sensacin pertenece principalmente a Alumina, Borax, Bar. c. Hormigueo y algo que se
arrastra sobre la piel. Comezn en la cara. Estos sntomas son tan irritantes que el
paciente se sentar y frotar la cara permanentemente. Usted pensar de l que est
nervioso. Tiene todo el aspecto de estar nervioso cuando se sienta para frotarse la cara
con el dorso de la mano. Es conveniente comprobar si lo hace porque no puede
mantener las manos quietas o a causa de la comezn. Debido a la sensacin de
comezn en la cara se lleva la mano a sta como para sacarse algo de encima .
Quiz yo no he dicho todo lo que debe decirse sobre la garganta. "lceras en las fauces.
Esponjosas, segregan un pus marrn amarillento, con mal olor". Puede decirse que el
paciente es a menudo vctima de irritacin crnica a la garganta. As es respecto a
Alumina, tiene una tendencia especial a localizarse sobre mucosas. Lo encontrarn en
un sujeto Alumina sangrando de todas las mucosas. Tiene catarro de la nariz y ojos
colorados, la nariz se le tapa y sufre muchos resfros agudos; malestares muy graves en
la garganta. Secreciones de todos los orificios. No es una medicina que deba ser
seleccionada para un resfro establecido en la garganta, ni un remedio para dolor agudo
de garganta, pero si un antipsrico de accin profunda que dura meses. Su mayor
utilidad es como remedio para los resfriados. En este sentido es como Sil., Graph. y
Sulph. Provoca cambios en los tejidos, y lo hace lentamente, porque es una medicina de
accin lenta. Si bien el paciente en s, con estas afecciones psricas arraigadas se siente
generalmente mejor despus del remedio, pasarn meses antes de que sus sntomas
desaparezcan. Puede decir: "Me siento mejor, pero todos mis sntomas parecen estar
aqu. Puedo comer mejor y dormir mejor". Entonces no sera prudente cambiar el
remedio. No deben esperar inmediato alivio de los catarros y dolores en la espalda y
otros sntomas para los cuales ustedes recetaron este remedio. Pueden sentirse
satisfechos si obtienen resultados tras muchas semanas. Hallarn lo mismo en la
debilidad paraltica producida por Plumbum. Hay una droga nueva, que empieza a
usarse, las pruebas de la cual son muy completas y valiosas, y son anlogas a los
sntomas de este remedio. Es el Curare. Quisiera disponer de pruebas mejores de l,
pero es valioso y tiene muchas cosas similares a Alumina y Plumbum, especialmente en
la debilidad de las manos y dedos de los pianistas. Un viejo pianista dir despus de
haber estado ejecutando durante algn tiempo sus dedos se ponen lentos. La debilidad
parece estar en los extensores. Dificultad para levantar los dedos; pierde el movimiento
elevador. Curare lo remedia en gran parte, le da rapidez a ese poder de los dedos para
elevarse. Pero este remedio tambin experimenta en forma general esas condiciones
particas. Si bien Curare est especialmente relacionado con una afeccin paraltica de
los extensores ms que de los flexores, la parlisis de Alumina es tanto de flexores
como de extensores.
Esta medicina es una de las pocas que se ha comprobado que se agravan por el almidn,
especialmente el almidn de papas. Agravacin por comer papas. tiene indigestin,
diarrea, gran flatulencia y empeoramiento de la tos por comer papas. Tiene tambin
agravacin por la sal, el vino, el vinagre, la pimienta y las bebidas espirituosas. La
Alumina es un remedio espinal y la agravacin por causa de las bebidas espirituosas es
acorde con algunos otros remedios espinales. Se la encuentra en Zincum. El paciente de
Zincum no puede beber vino porque con l empeoran todos sus malestares. Esta
medicina es tan sensible y tan fcilmente anulada por una pequea cantidad de licor que
el paciente est obligado a abandonarlo. No resulta intoxicado pero el alcohol empeora
sus malestares.
Ahora bien, la digestin ha sido prcticamente dejada de lado en esta medicina. El paciente
sufre catarro estomacal, ulceracin en el estmago, indigestin por la comida ms
sencilla. Eructos agrios y amargos. Vmitos de alimentos, mucus o bilis. Nuseas,
vrtigos, acidez, acedas, mucha flatulencia. Vomita mucus y agua. El estmago est
distendido por el gas, El hgado sufre mucho. Ambos hipocondrios son dolorosos, pero
especialmente el derecho.
Cuando tratamos Alumen llam especialmente la atencin a su relacin antidotal con Lead.
Este remedio anular tambin los efectos venenosos del plomo y la sensibilidad al
plomo. Clico y debilidad paraltica en los trabajadores del plomo, pintores y artistas, y
en aquellos tan sensibles al plomo que se ven paralizados simplemente por el uso de
lociones para el cabello con contenido de plomo. No hace muchos aos, el acetato de
plomo era usado comnmente por las mujeres para la leucorrea, pero se ha comprobado
que eran tantas las sensibles al mismo, que se lo abandon. Alumina es el ms
destacado antdoto para las afecciones causadas por ese estado de sensibilidad.
En lo relativo a las deposiciones y al recto, que pertenece al estado general, sobre el que
apenas si queda algo por presentar, salvo algunas importantes cuestiones particulares.
Tal cual ustedes podran suponer, este remedio tiene fisuras; ustedes las esperarn,
naturalmente, cuando consideren la clase de mucosas y tejidos que este paciente
elabora. Sufre mucho por constipacin, hace muchos esfuerzos, la mucosa est
engrosada e hinchada, y por consiguiente tenemos una fisura. Cuando ustedes ven un
remedio que elabora y produce un estado as en la economa, criando ese tipo de
mucosa que puede facilitar las fisuras, no tienen que esperar hasta haber curado una
fisura con ese remedio, para saber que el mismo es adecuado para el caso. No necesitan
recurrir al repertorio para ver qu hizo ese remedio en la fisura. Por su conocimiento
general de la medicina, ustedes vern que el mismo debe curar al paciente; pues
produce un estado tal de la mucosa y de la piel como la que se encontrara naturalmente
en quien tiene una fisura. La piel se indura y ulcera, se pone delicada e insalubre y se
produce constipacin, de modo que, despus de estudiar el remedio en esa forma, no
debe sorprenderles que cure una fisura. Pueden pensar tambin ustedes sobre cules
otras medicinas tienen ese estado de la economa y ver con que otros remedios
esperaran curar una fisura. S ustedes consideran la naturaleza de Nitric acid,
Causticum y Grafitos, comprendern por qu han tenido antecedentes tan maravillosos
en la cura de fisuras. Esta es la forma de estudiar su Materia Mdica; ver qu hace al
hombre en s, a sus rganos y tejidos.
"Frecuente miccin". La orina no sale mientras se esfuerza en el inodoro, o no puede fluir

sin ese esfuerzo. Este es un sntoma de grado elevado, un sntoma peculiar y puede ser
llamado un sntoma peculiar de primer grado. El paciente debe esforzarse en el inodoro
para evacuar el contenido de su vejiga. "Orina que escuece, corroe". "Sensacin de
debilidad en la vejiga y en los genitales". "Hinchazn y secrecin de un pus amarillo
claro desde la uretra". "Ardor con la secrecin de la orina".
Los sntomas de los rganos sexuales masculinos se caracterizan por debilidad, impotencia
y emisiones nocturnas; adecuada cuando los rganos sexuales estn desgastados por el
abuso o el uso excesivo. Hay plenitud y agrandamiento de la glndula de la prstata y
varias perturbaciones en la prstata, con sensacin de plenitud en el perineo.
Sensaciones desagradables y molestias en la regin de la glndula prosttica despus
del coito. Molestias en el momento de la eyaculacin, o despus de ella, o despus de
una emisin. Disminuye el deseo sexual y a veces desaparece totalmente. Debilidad
paraltica o paresia de los rganos sexuales; un estado que guarda relacin con el
remedio todo. "Secrecin de lquido prosttico durante una deposicin difcil".
"Erecciones dolorosas por la noche".
La mujer tiene abundantes inconvenientes que pueden ser curados con este remedio, pero
sus inconvenientes son principalmente catarrales. Un ejemplo de ello es la leucorrea;
copiosa, acre o excoriativa, de color amarillo; leucorrea tan copiosa que corre por los
muslos, enrojeciendo e inflamado las partes. Ulceracin alrededor de la abertura. Las
mucosas son dbiles y enfermizas y se ulceran fcilmente. Todos los rganos se hallan
en estado de debilidad. Hay una cada por el estado relajado de los ligamentos.
Sensacin de pesadez; se siente pesada la vscera plvica. Las secreciones son
comnmente espesas y amarillas, pero tambin pueden ser albuminosas, filamentosas,
con aspecto de clara de huevo, copiososas y acres; "mucus transparente". Es ms
notable durante el da, porque estos malestares generalmente empeoran cuando se
camina o se permanece de pie, lo cual no es en realidad un sntoma importante, sino
una afeccin comn. Despus de una menstruacin, la mujer tarda generalmente hasta
el periodo siguiente antes de regularizarse nuevamente. Todos sus msculos son
dbiles; no parece haber tonicidad en ella. Es sumamente adecuado para las mujeres
que se aproximan al trmino de la menstruacin, de alrededor de cuarenta aos de edad.
El perodo menstrual la agota, el flujo es escaso, pero sin embargo la agota; los
sufrimientos son terribles y la paciente se siente muy mal en el periodo menstrual.
Despus de los menstruos, agotada en cuerpo y mente, es una firme caracterstica de
Alumina. Es un remedio adecuado tambin cuando la mujer tiene gonorrea que ha sido
prolongada por los paliativos. Se la ha confortado con remedios parcialmente
adecuados, pero al parecer ningn remedio ha sido de accin lo bastante profunda para
desarraigar la molestia, pues sta sigue retornando. En una secrecin que sigue
retornando, mejora un breve tiempo con Pulsatilla, y con esto o aquello, y hasta con
Thuja, administrada ms especialmente porque es gonorrea que a causa de ser ella una
mujer enferma. La paciente est cansada y agotada, y cuando ustedes la observan en su
totalidad, y ven el estado pattico, el continuo retorno de la secrecin que ha sido
mitigado con remedios, piense en esta medicina, tanto para el hombre como para la
mujer.
La secrecin es indolora en el hombre. La secrecin gonorreica ha durado largo tiempo,

yendo y viniendo, hasta que ahora quedan solamente unas pocas gotas y es indolora.
Este remedio ha curado muchos de estos casos viejos. Amenaza de catarro crnico. Las
mucosas de todas partes se hallan en estado congestionado y estn dbiles.
Una mujer embarazada sufre tambin algunos inconvenientes. Una mujer, que no es
paciente normal de constipacin, cuando queda embarazada, se constipa, con todos los
rasgos caractersticos de Alumina, por ejemplo, la inactividad del recto, carencia de
fuerza expulsiva; debe usar los msculos abdominales, debe hacer fuerza un largo rato.
Tambin el infante tiene una forma similar de hacer fuerza. Ustedes vern al recin
nacido o al beb de slo unos meses, que necesita Alumina. Es una medicina muy
comn para la constipacin en los infantes cuando no se encuentra otra cosa; el beb
hace fuerza y fuerza y trata de presionar la deposicin hacia afuera, y al examinarla se
ve que es blanda, y debera haber sido expulsada fcilmente.
Sufre ronquera, prdida de la voz y debilidad paraltica de la laringe. No es extrao: la

constitucin quebrantada guarda natural relacin con el estado general. Tiene una voz
dbil y si es cantor, puede cantar slo un corto rato, puede hacer solamente leves
esfuerzos. Todo le resulta. una carga. Afeccin paraltica de las cuerdas vocales, que
aumenta continuamente la prdida de la voz.
Lo ms importante que trataremos ahora son la tos y los inconvenientes en el pecho. Hay
expectoracin algunas veces con la tos, pero sta es generalmente seca, cortante, una de
esas toses molestas, prolongadas, que se sufren desde aos. Compite con Arg. met. en
este carcter de tos seca, tajante, especialmente relacionada con la debilidad, pero Arg
met. tiene la tos durante el da, cosa que no sucede con Alumina. La tos Alumina es por
la maana. He aqu un sntoma que explica aproximadamente la tos Alumina: "Tos
poco despus de despertar por la maana". Cada maana, un prolongado ataque de tos
seca. La tos es dura, continuada, seca, tajante; la paciente tose hasta que pierde el
aliento y vomita, y pierde orina. Este sntoma sucede comnmente en la mujer. "Tos
seca, tajante, con frecuentes estornudos". En el texto dice "por campanilla alargada",
pero debera leerse "por sensacin de campanilla alargada". Hay una sensacin como de
algo que hiciera cosquillas en la garganta; un cosquilleo como si la campanilla colgase
mucho, y el paciente les dir que su paladar debe ser demasiado largo. Otra expresin
que significa lo mismo es: "tos por la sensacin de que hubiese una piel suelta colgando
en la garganta". Algunas veces quienes no saben del paladar hablan de algo suelto en la
garganta, mientras que quienes saben que tienen una campanilla, la llaman
generalmente el paladar. Pero la idea es la misma. Tambin cosquilleo en la laringe.
Esto se cotiza siempre en los cantores. Debemos pensar en Alumina cuando los
cantores pierden la voz por parlisis o por haber forzado demasiado la voz. La voz
declina y se debilita, y cuando hay un resfro, aparece una forma peculiar de cosquilleo.
La Alumina es muy til en estos casos. Arg. met. era el remedio usado por los primeros
homepatas para cantores y oradores con mucho temblor y declinacin de la voz antes
de conocerse el valor de la Alumina en tales afecciones. Permtaseme decir aqu algo
sobre Rhus., pues quiz no piense ms en l. A muchos cantores viejos, despus de
haber tomado fro, les queda una debilidad en la voz, que notan al empezar a cantar. Al
iniciar el canto la voz es dbil y ronca, pero mejora despus de usarla un ratito. Dsele
Rhus a todos estos pacientes, prima donnas, abogados, predicadores, etc. Deben
calentar la voz y entonces todo marcha bien, pero dicen: "Si vuelvo a los camerinos y
espero un poco, cuando empiezo a cantar nuevamente estoy peor que nunca". La voz
mejora si permanecen en una habitacin muy calurosa y la siguen usando. Esto se
adapta al estado general de Rhus. Existe un tipo de ronquera que ustedes descubrirn
que es un poco diferente a la ronquera paraltica de Alumina y Arg. met. Esta ronquera
de que hablo pertenece a la misma clase de gente; al empezar inicialmente a usar su
voz, dan la impresin, de tener que desprenderse de alguna mucosidad aclarndose la
garganta hasta que la voz puede empezar a salir. Al empezar a trabajar, las cuerdas
vocales estn cubiertas con mucus y, cuando se desprenden de ste, pueden realizar un
excelente trabajo mientras se mantengan as. Eso es Phosphorus. En tales casos el uso
de la voz se hace doloroso. Las cuerdas vocales duelen despus del movimiento y la
laringe est dolorida al tacto. Algunas veces esto es tan notable que al tratar de usar la
voz siente como una cuchilla. De modo, pues, que debemos individualizar las
ronqueras muy extensamente. La homeopata es un asunto de discriminacin.
Dolor en el pecho, que aumenta mucho al hablar. Existe debilidad de la potencia muscular
del pecho. Los pulmones parecen dbiles y tambin en el pecho existe una sensacin de
debilidad. La trepidacin aumenta los sufrimientos del pecho.
Las caractersticas ms salientes que trataremos a continuacin se relacionan con la espalda

y los miembros; y de esto he hablado en forma general. Ardores en la columna
vertebral; gran dolor en la espalda. Ardores y puntadas en la espalda. El paciente lo
explica diciendo: "Dolor en la espalda, como si se introduciera una plancha caliente a
travs de las vrtebras inferiores". En la mielitis, esta medicina realiza una accin
maravillosa cuando existe tambin una intensa afeccin espasmdica de las pleuras,
demostrando que las membranas estn afectadas. Otra cosa correspondiente a este
remedio y que es un estado bien conocido en la mielitis, es la sensacin del aro,
sensacin de vendaje aqu y all, alrededor de los miembros y del cuerpo como sntoma
comn. Una sensacin de un cordel ajustado alrededor del cuerpo caracteriza el estado
ms marcado de irritacin y mielitis. Irritacin de la mdula espinal con lugares
sensibles. Lugares que queman como si se introdujera una plancha caliente en la
columna vertebral. Dolor a lo largo de la mdula, dolores agotadores, desgarrantes en la
mdula, con debilidad paraltica, parlisis en aumento y parlisis completa; parlisis de
un lado del cuerpo o paraplejia.
"Dolor en la planta del pie al pararse, como si estuviese demasiado blando e hinchado".
"Entumecimiento del taln al ponerse de pie" "Temblores en las rodillas", esto es un
simple asunto de la debilidad general. "Las extremidades se duermen al sentarse". Se
duermen siempre que se las oprima contra algo. Circulacin dbil, conductividad dbil,
accin de los nervios dbil; todo es retardado. Brazos y piernas parecen pesados.
"Dolores en las extremidades como si se le apretasen los huesos, con presin en las
articulaciones". Ahora leer algunos de los sntomas de los nervios que corroboran
algunas de las cosas que hemos tratado. "Necesidad de irritabilidad en el cuerpo".
"Gran agotamiento de la fuerza, especialmente despus de caminar al aire libre".
"Parlisis unilateral, especialmente de los extensores". "Parlisis reumtica y traumtica
en los pacientes con gota". Pacientes gotosos con ndulos en las articulaciones;
constituciones viejas y quebrantadas con agotamiento pattico. "Excitacin de la mente
y el cuerpo". Temblores aqu y all, en el cuerpo. "Andar lento y tembloroso como
despus de una grave enfermedad". El paciente debe moverse lentamente, no puede
apresurarse. "Movimientos involuntarios".
Cuando duerme hay toda clase de sueos y perturbaciones, he hablado en forma general.
Ardores en la columna vertebral; gran dolor en la espalda. Ardores y puntadas en la
espalda. El paciente lo explica diciendo: "Dolor en la espalda, como si se introduciera
una plancha caliente a travs de las vrtebras inferiores". En la mielitis, esta medicina

"Entumecimiento del taln al ponerse de pie". "Temblores en las rodillas", esto es un

algunas de las cosas que hemos tratado. "Necesidad de irritabilidad en el cuerpo".
"Gran agotamiento de la fuerza, especialmente despus de caminar al aire libre".
"Parlisis unilateral, especialmente de los extensores". "Par lisis reumtica y traumtica
en los pacientes con gota". Pacientes gotosos con ndulos en las articulaciones;
constituciones viejas y quebrantadas con agotamiento pattico. "Excitacin de la mente
y el cuerpo". Temblores aqu y all, en el cuerpo. "Andar lento y tembloroso como
despus de una grave enfermedad". El paciente debe moverse lentamente, no puede
apresurarse. "Movimientos involuntarios".
Cuando duerme hay toda clase de sueos y perturbaciones, de modo que el mismo puede
ser muy inquieto y alterado. El sueo no lleva descanso y el paciente se despierta con
palpitaciones en el corazn". "Muchos sueos y frecuente despertar; salta espantado,
murmurando o gritando". "Durante el sueo los msculos cervicales le llevan la cabeza
hacia atrs"; esto en casos de debilidad paraltica; debe despertar, como si los msculos
de la parte de atrs del cuello tiraran de esa manera. Vibraciones en la parte de atrs del
cuello durante el sueo.
Coincidiendo con el remedio muy frecuentemente hay una temperatura corporal baja,
frialdad, y sin embargo el paciente desea estar al aire libre; debe estar bien arropado y
mantenerse templado, pero quiere estar al aire libre. El paciente se enfra
continuamente, por cada cambio de temperatura o corriente de aire. Algunas veces va a
la cama tan fro como una rana y, al calentarse, est tan molesto por la comezn y el
calor del lecho que no encuentra confort. Existen dos extremos que se producen juntos.
La circulacin es tan dbil en las extremidades y el dorso de las manos que cuando hace
fro las manos estn constantemente fras y cubiertas de resquebrajaduras y fisuras
sangrantes.
La piel a lo largo de la tibia est spera y pruriginosa. Se ha dicho que el tiempo seco y el
fro seco aumentan los malestares de Alumina, y que el tiempo hmedo a veces los
mejora.
El estado febril de este remedio no es en absoluto destacable. No hay grandes escalofros ni

mucha fiebre, pero los elementos crnicos y los sntomas crnicos, pasivos, lentos,
perezosos, son los que prevalecen ms notablemente. En casos dbiles, quebrantados,
hay algunas transpiraciones nocturnas y hacia la maana. Ligero escalofro por la
maana. Escalofro con sed.
Una llamativa caracterstica del remedio es la sequedad crnica de la piel. El sudor es raro y
escaso. El remedio no es especialmente adecuado para esas transpiraciones copiosas,
agotadoras. Es todo lo contrario de Calcarea, que transpira copiosamente, pero este
remedio, con afecciones de la columna y paralticas, est cansado del esfuerzo, muy
agotado, pero no transpira. Amontnense sobre l las cobijas para hacerlo transpirar;
toma calor y comezn y no transpira. Sudor escaso. Total imposibilidad de sudar.
Sequedad crnica de la piel con fisuras. La piel queda desgastada y spera y fisurada
por su sequedad. Gran sequedad de la piel gruesa en el dorso de las manos, y durante el
tiempo fro las manos quedan fras y descoloridas.
ALUMINA (Farrington)
Alumina debe ser comparado con Pulsatilla en la clorosis y en la ocena; con Calcarea
ostrearum en el temor de volverse loso, con Lachesis por su agravacin al despertar y con
Sepia; con Plumbum en el clico; con Argentum nitricum, Nux vomica y Sulphur, en las
afecciones medulares; con Mercurius en el bubn; con Bryonia y Chamomilla en los
sntomas gstricos; con Ruta, Conium, Natrum mur., Sepia, Graphites y Zincum en sus
sntomas oculares.
Es complementado en su accin por Bryonia, y antidotizado por Chamomilla.

Alumina obra sobre la sangre, los nervios, las mucosas, las glandulas, el estmago, hgado
e intestinos, rganos genitales, laringe y piel.
Alumina u xido de aluminio, es una especie de arcilla pura. Segn Hering, los
sntomas que obtuvo hartlaub no son clsicos, porque solamente lav la preparacin de
arcilla, en tanto que Hahnemann la someti al calor hasta el rojo vivo.
Por la lista notaremos que he colocado a Bryonia como complementario de Alumina;

esto resulta sobre todo exacto ess los sntomas gstricos; estas drogas se siguen bien
mutuamente en las afecciones gastrointestinales. Bryonia tambin obra como antdoto de
Alumina, lo mismo que Chamomilla. He colocado algunos de sus medicamentos
concordantes, en pocas palabras, entre parntesis para indicar sus semejanzas. De este
modo sus puntos de semejanza con Pulsatilla son notables en la clorosis y el ocena,
revelando que en estas dos afecciones, particularmente concuerda con Alumina.
Notaremos tambin que Plumbum le es semejante en el clico y Nux vomica y Sulphur en
las afecciones espinales, etc.
Alumina obra mejor en las personas de edad avanzada, de aspecto delgado

notablemente arrugadas y enjutas, o en las nias durante la pubertad, sobre todo si estn
clorticas; tambin en los nios durante la pubertad, sobre todo si estn clorticas; tambin
en los nios delicados y escrofulosos, especialmente s han tenido alimentacin artificial
impropia, es decir, con toda clase de alimentos y preparaciones de las que el mercado est
inundado. Estos nios estn debilitados y arrugados; la nutricin es marcadamente
deficiente; los intestinos estn inactivos, siendo la constipacin caracterstica; hay mucha
dificultad en la evacuacin an cuando las masas fecales no sean duras, revelando desde
luego que es la inactividad de los intestinos la causa principal de este estado. En este caso
es semejante a Bryonia, salvo en que este ltimo tiene ms resequedad y dureza en las
materias fecales. El nio sufre ocena o bien un catarro nasal crnico, con notable sequedad
de la mucosa nasal; esto lo advertimos por el ruido especial que produce la respiracin,
cuando el nio inspira. El nio durante la denticin tambin puede tener estrabismo,
debindose esto a la debilidad del msculo recto interno, del ojo afectado. Este sntoma es
en ocasiones curable por el tratamiento mdico y cuando as sucede, este mtodo es
preferible a los procedimientos quirrgicos. Algunas veces el estrabismo es originado por
los parsitos intestinales y entonces Cina ser nuestro medicamento; cuando es producido
por irritacin cerebral, Belladonna; y cuando es por irregularidades menstruales o
gstricas, Cyclamen ser nuestro medicamento.
El enfermo de Alumina est muy abatido e inclinado a llorar, como en Pulsatilla este
abatimiento empeora al despertar, semejndose en sto a Lachesis, Pulsatilla, Sepia, etc.
Otras veces nos encontraremos al enfermo importunado por un estado aprehensivo de la
mente, temor de volverse loco, siendo esto exactamente como sucede en Calcarea
ostrearum, Iodium, etc. Esto nos revelar una irritabilidad cerebral. Otra particularidad que
puede estar presente, sobre todo en la histeria, es la tendencia al suicidio cuando el
enfermo ve sangre, un cuchillo o algn otro objeto de esta especie.
Los hombres a quienes Alumina conviene, son hipocondriacos; hay mucha lasitud e
indiferencia para el trabajo, una hora les parece la mitad de un da al enfermo; son
excesivamente rencillosos y malhumorados y en este caso encontraremos a Alumina
revalizado con Nux vomica y Bryonia.
En el comienzo de esta conferencia notaremos varios rubros bajo los que pretendo
hacer el estudio de Alumina. Desde luego qu cambios son producidos en la sangre por
Alumina? no podr decir cmo se altera sta, pero hay enfermedades de la sangre para las
cuales es aplicable y es conveniente mencionarlas aqu. Lo encontramos indicado en la
anemia y tambin en la clorosis, sobre todo en las nias durante la pubertad, cuando el
flujo menstrual es plido y escaso; hay un deseo anormal, vehemente, por comer ciertas
substancias no digeribles, como pizarrines, gises, cal, etc. La leucorrea a que estn sujetas
estas enfermas, es generalmente transparente, notablemente glutinosa y tenaz o bien est
constituda por un moco amarillento abundante, escurriendo algunas veces por las piernas
hasta los pies. Esto agota muchsimo a la enferma y con este estado, casi siempre
encontraremos los sntomas mentales ya mencionados.
Ahora, Alumina ha sido empleado en las afecciones nerviosas de carcter grave;

Boenninghausen emple el metal Aluminium en los siguientes sntomas de la terrible
enfermedad llamada ataxia locomotriz; frecuentes desvanecimientos; los objetos parecen
girar alrededor de un crculo; ptsis, diplopia o estrabismo; imposibilidad para caminar en
la obscuridad o con los ojos cerrados sin vacilar; el enfermo siente como si caminara sobre
cojines; hay una sensacin como de hormigas que se arrastran en la espalda y las piernas;
los glteos se duermen cuando el enfermo se sienta; los talones se sienten dormidos al
caminar; hay una sensacin en la cara de como si estuviera cubierta de telaraas o como s
se hubiera secado una capa de clara de huevo sobre ella. Dolor de espalda, como si un
fierro caliente estuviera introducido en el raquis. Estos son los sntomas que indican a
Alumina y que condujeron a Boenninghausen a emplearlo para curar cuatro casos de esta
enfermedad.
Vemos ahora su accin sobre las mucosas. Alumina es aqu nuestro medicamento
nico; obra en una limitada, pero bien descrita clase de casos. Indudablemente produce
sequedad de las superficies mucosas. Si retenemos en la mente este hecho, nos podremos
explicar todos los sntomas que produce; tendremos al instante la clave de una dispepsia,
de un catarro nasal, una garganta inflamada o una constipacin. Hay sequedad de las
membranas mucosas. Poco despus hay formacin de moco grueso, amarillo y muy difcil
de desprender. Me permito ilustrar un poco este detalle. En los ojos, por ejemplo, estar
indicado en la blefaritis, sobre todo, cuando hay gran sequedad de la conjuntiva; los
prpados se sienten tiesos y se agrietan por la misma resequedad. En este caso, su anlogo
ms cercano ser Graphites, que tiene los mismos sntomas, solo que hay ms salida de
sangre de lo que sucede en Alumina.
Alumina es de utilidad en la astenopa cuyo origen es la irritacin conjuntival.
Tambin hay blefaritiss crnica y granulaciones en los prpados.
Para los ojos se resecan al leer, Crocus, Allen recomiendo tambin a Berberis, Natrum
carbonicum y Natrum sulphuricum.
Cuando los ojos se resecan al leer, Crocus, Argentum nitricum, Cina y Natrum mur. En
la blefaroptsis, Nux moschata, Sepia, Rhus y Gelsemium.
Alumina tambin produce prdida de fuerza del msculo recto interno del ojo, y en
sto es semejante a Agaricus, Jaborandi, Conium, Ruta y Natrum mur. Este ltimo, segn
Woodyat, es el mejor.
En el catarro nasal de los nios, encontraremos indicado a Alumina, cuando hay gran
resequedad, formacin de costras y remotamente flema gruesa, amarillenta y tenaz, o
moco que difcilmente se despega.
La tos de Alumina, es seca y espasmdica; empeora por la maana cuando el enfermo

tose hasta lograr desgarrar una pequeo cantidad de moco extremadamente adherente lo
que produce mejora pasajera.
Lo encontraremos indicado en las afecciones de la garganta, cuando hay un estado de

relajamiento de la mucosa, encontrando justamente esta condicin en la garganta de los
predicadores. Esta se siente muy seca al despertar; la voz es ronca y dbil; tiene un color
rojo-obscuro y la vula est alargada. El enfermo se mejora cuando toma bebidas
calientes: la ronquera parece empeorarse por la maana, yendo acompaada de una
sensacin en la garganta al deglutir, de como si se tuviera una astilla. Este ltimo sntoma
tambin lo encontraremos en Hepar, Argentum nitricum, Nitricum acidum, etc.
La mucosa gstrica est reseca por defecto de las secreciones glandulares, teniendo en
este caso la misma dispepsia que es curable por Bryonia. Los sntomas que distinguen a
Alumina son los siguientes: hay una sensacin de constriccin a lo largo del esfago en el
momento de deglutir; el enfermo empeora siempre por comer papas, siendo esto una buena
indicacin para Alumina. Hay aversin por la carne y un deseo vehemente por substancias
indigeribles ribles. El hgado est sensible al tacto y hay dolores; aguijoneantes en este
rgano, como sucede en Bryonia. Nos encontramos la constipacin ya descrita, con
esfuerzos para evacuar, an cuando las materias fecales sean blandas. Las hemorroides
producen comezn, arden y estn hmedas.
Veremos ahora la accin de Alumina sobre las glndulas, indicando a ustedes un slo
sntoma, y es el empleo de la droga en el tratamiento de los bubones; podemos aplicarlo en
los bubones de origen gonorreico, cuando al mismo tiempo hay una descarga uretral
amarilla, con ardor y comezn a lo largo de la uretra, sobre todo a nivel del meato.
Finalmente, en la piel, tiene una accin exacta a la que ejerce sobre las mucosas,
produciendo sequedad y aspereza de este tejido; consecuentemente lo encontraremos
indicado en las erupciones secas y speras, que se agrientan y pueden sangrar, aunque no
con frecuencia, produciendo comezn y ardor intolerable agravado por el calor de la cama.
Recordaremos aqu que Argentum nitricum, Nux vomica y Sulphur, son semejantes a
Alumina en las afecciones espinales.
Mercurius es el medicamento ms semejante a Alumina en el tratamiento del bubn.

Alumina ha sido empleado como antdoto en el clico de plomo.

Caractersticas.- Como su relacionado Alumen, Alumina produce irritacin de las

membranas mucosas, con sequedad o extrema secrecin y parlisis de msculos
involuntarios, como los del recto y de los nervios, y sistema muscular en general.
Alumina paraliza los intestinos en la misma forma que el plomo, al cual es un antdoto.
An heces pequeas y blandas se expulsan con gran dificultad. Mujeres embarazadas y
nios estn expuestos a esta clase de constipacin. Una caracterstica muy prominente
es que las personas deben hacer esfuerzo para obrar y poder orinar. Teste agrupa a
Alumina con Sepia y Copaiba. El lo considera el crnico de Sepia como Silicia es de
Puls. Parlisis del msculo recto interno del ojo, causando estrabismo. Tambin ptosis.
Dolores tironeantes aparecen en las extremidades; una sensacin de constriccin en
varios rganos. Varios sntomas dolorosos se muestran despus del alimento de
medioda, y continan hasta el anochecer, cuando ellos desaparecen o son
reemplazados por otros que slo empiezan entonces. Por otro lado los dolores que
aparecen en la maana o al anochecer son abatidos despus de comer. Temblores,
movimientos convulsivos de las extremidades y la cabeza; espasmos, con lgrimas y
risas que alternan. Hay exaltacin de todo el sistema nervioso. Temblores de todo el
cuerpo con deseo de acostarse, que sin embargo < la fatiga. Gran fatiga general, an
despus de una corta caminata, pero principalmente despus de hablar. Se estira
frecuentemente mientras est sentado. Los glteos se adormecen mientras est sentado.
Arrastra las piernas, especialmente la izquierda. Muchos de los sntomas de la ataxia
locomotriz, son producidos por Alumina, y es uno de los ms tiles medicamentos en
esta enfermedad. Boenninghausen, cur un caso con Aluminium. Lentitud de accin es
caracterstico de este medicamento; orina es lenta en la miccin; gran esfuerzo para
obrar an heces blandas; solamente puede obrar cuando est parado; tiene que hacer
esfuerzo, como si el abdomen y recto estuvieran paralizados. (Caust. tiene defecacin
solamente cuando est parado, pero el esfuerzo es menor). Sensaciones son lentas
cuando son trasmitidas al centro. En la esfera mental hay confusin. "Cuando dice que
nada siente, es como si lo dijera otra persona, y cuando mira cualquier cosa, como si
otra persona lo viera, como si l pudiera transferirse a otro, y as solamente poder ver."
Una sensacin de apresuramiento sigue, cosas no se mueven con la rapidez necesaria.
Impulsos. Tendencia suicida, un impulso sbito de ver sangre en un cuchillo. Triste;
aprensivo; quiere irse; temor de volverse loco. Sntomas mentales casi siempre
aparecen en la maana al despertar. Vrtigo al cerrar los ojos. Catarro es un aspecto
muy general. Catarro con sequedad de las membranas mucosas. La garganta se ve
reseca y vidriosa. La nariz est obstruda, se siente seca, y la punta de la nariz est
fisurada. Alum. tiene la sensacin de una espina de pescado en la garganta al deglutir.
Hay leucorrea profusa que corre hasta los talones, algunas veces excoriante. As como
en las membranas mucosas as en la piel: erupciones con prurito < por el calor de la
cama. Erupciones de toda clase, induraciones, lceras. Prpados granulosos. Cabellos
caen de todo el cuerpo. La piel de la cara se siente como cubierta con clara de huevo
seca, o como si hubiera una telaraa en ella. Fisuras. Alumina tiene algunos sntomas
curiosos en la esfera digestiva. Hay un deseo por arroz seco y alimentos secos. Tiene >
por harinas, especialmente la harina de las papas. < por la sal, vino, vinagre, alcohol.
Dolores ardorosos en la espalda, es muy caracterstico, y especialmente una sensacin
como si un metal caliente atravesara las vrtebras inferiores. Hay latidos en varias
partes. Los dolores van hacia arriba. Izquierda superior, derecha inferior, se afectan (lo
opuesto en Lyc.) Los sntomas son < en das alternos; peridicamente. Guernsey
describe una periodicidad caracterstica as: "El paciente est bien por un tiempo, y sin
causa aparente, se pone peor un tiempo, y despus mejor, y pronto una recada ser peor
que la enfermedad original, otra recada no es tan mala, y as con largos intervalos." En
las tardes, en luna nueva o llena, < en la maana al despertar. < despus de coito. < en
aire fro, en exteriores, en tiempo seco. Ellos son > por lavarse con agua fra;
humedeciendo el lugar; por alimento o bebida caliente; por calor en general Alumina se
adapta a personas de hbitos sedentarios que sufren de trastornos crnicos; a estados
con disminucin de calor animal. Personas psricas. La accin de Alumina es lenta en
su desarrollo, y el medicamento no debe cambiarse rpidamente.

Alumina (Hering)
ALUMINA, OR ARGILLA.
Pure Clay. Aluminium Oxide. Al2. O3.
Used by the Old School, but only according to very poor indications.
Hahnemann had proved the pure earth when Hartlaub edited a collection of 975 symptoms,
obtained from four provers, in his Mat. Med., in 1829.
The year after, Hahnemann published his own observations in Stapf's Archiv., viz., 215
symptoms, from a much better preparation.
Hartlaub simply purified his preparation by washing it, which never can suffice, but
Hahnemann subjected his to red heat.
A careful comparison of symptoms will show that there is a difference.
In 1835, in the second edition of his Chronic Diseases, Hahnemann gives it place among the
antipsorics, adding a few symptoms from Dr. Bute, and condensing Hartlaub's collection to
about 900 symptoms.
Boenninghausen published very remarkable cures with the pure metal, in the A. H. Z., being
guided by the symptoms of the oxide.

ALUMEN (Nash)
Es un excelente remedio para las hemorragias intestinales de la fiebre tifoidea; las

deposiciones estn formadas por una gran cantidad de cogulos de sangre oscura. Es tambin
excelente para el relajamiento de la vula en las afecciones de la garganta.
ALUMEN (Kent)
Este medicamento, como Alumina, parece producir una clase de debilidad paraltica de los
msculos en todas partes del cuerpo, una especie de falta de tono. Las extremidades
estn dbiles. Esta debilidad se siente especialmente en el recto y en la vejiga. Las
evacuaciones se apretan por la falta de capacidad del recto y del colon para expulsar sus
contenidos. La vejiga est tambin lenta en su accin y es evacuada con gran dificultad.
Despus de la miccin la vejiga permanece a menudo medio llena. La orina tarda en
salir, y cuando el paciente est de pie para orinar el lquido cae perpendicularmente,
como en Hepar. Por esto vemos que hay una accin perezosa. El estado de parlisis se
propaga tambin a las venas produciendo una parlisis vasomotora.
Otra dolencia particular de este medicamento es la tendencia a la induracin all donde se

encuentre una superficie inflamada. Todos los medicamentos que tienen esta
caracterstica en su naturaleza se relacionan ms o menos con las afecciones
cancerosas, por que en el cncer existe como caracterstica natural la tendencia a la
induracin. Las lceras son comunes en Alumen y esta induracin est debajo de la
lcera; lcera con base indurada. O pueden aparecer pequeas costras sobre la piel
donde la circulacin es dbil, por ejemplo sobre partes cartilaginosas, y se forma una
gruesa masa indurada. La infiltracin toma lugar bajo esta costra y no se cura por la
debilidad de los tejidos debido a una parlisis vaso-motora. El epitelioma es poco ms
que esto, y as tenemos en este medicamento caractersticas semejantes a epitelioma y
otras afecciones cancerosas. Que es el escirro sino una forma especial de induracin?
Cuando la economa obliga a un tipo pobre de vida, a una fisiologa baja tisular, y los
tejidos se inflaman a la menor provocacin y podemos ver que sta es la clase de
constitucin con predisposicin a trastornos profundos, como tisis, enfermedad de
Bright, diabetes, cncer, etc. Estamos al borde de lo ltimo y alguna cosa ha de suceder.
Este medicamento lleva a la economa en tal estado de desorden, se encuentra un estado
pobre de funcionamiento tisular y muchas de estas induraciones terminan en cncer.
Este medicamento tiene una prolongada accin antipsrica.
Hay tambin en esta medicina una tendencia a la induracin del cuello del tero y de las
mamas. Las glndulas se inflaman lentamente, y no se detienen con una congestin y
endurecimiento ordinarios sino que se endurecen como balas. Esta induracin se
extiende a las dems glndulas del cuerpo, pero es especialmente notable en las
amgdalas. Por aquello que tiene una tendencia a los resfros que se asientan en la
garganta particularmente en las amgdalas indurndolas; en aquellos que se resfran a
menudo y cuyas tonsilas continan creciendo y endurecindose tenemos en Alumen un
medicamento apropiado para todo el proceso, el endurecimiento y la infiltracin, y ello
cura estos casos de acuerdo a la ley de los similares cuando los sntomas concuerdan.
Cura a los nios en crecimiento con enormes amgdalas agrandadas y endurecidas, en
los cuales todos los resfros se localizan en la garganta. Alumen es uno de los anlogos
de Baryta carb., que tiene la misma tendencia. En un paciente habr un tipo de
constitucin y despus de un examen completo parece Baryta carb., Ud. puede, despus
de un examen cuidadoso, ver que parece semejante a Alumen; en otro ver que es
Sulphur, en un otro encontrar que es Calcarea carb., y otro Calcarea iod., y as entre
esos remedios todo consiste en fijar la patogenesia exacta del remedio con la
fisiopatologa y constitucin del paciente y entonces no tendremos trastornos. Cuando
han sido bien tomados los sntomas podemos considerar el caso como curado, tan fcil
es encontrar un remedio.
Este medicamento es imperfecto por el hecho de que ha sido experimentado parcialmente.

No me importa detenerme acerca de medicamentos experimentados parcialmente, pero
cuando tienen una cantidad de caractersticas notables que se adaptan a la vida diaria es
importante conocerlos. Son pocos los sntomas mentales de este medicamento. Puede
ser experimentado en su mxima potencia en personas sensibles para esclarecer su
estado mental.
Algunos de los sntomas de la cabeza son muy notables. Dolor en la parte superior de la
cabeza con ardor, teniendo la sensacin como si un peso estuviera presionando hacia
abajo en el crneo. Ud. ver una mujer en el lecho con su mano sobre la cabeza y dir:
"Doctor, arde exactamente como fuego, y me presiona como si mi crneo fuera a
romperse, y el nico alivio que obtengo es presionando fuerte sobre l y mediante un
pao helado apretado arriba." Ella desea cambiar y enfriar el pao cada pocos minutos.
Es una cosa rara que un dolor opresivo se mejora presionando sobre la parte afectada.
Esto es semejante a Cactus, dolor opresivo en el vrtice aliviado por la presin. El
encabezamiento de estos remedios con este sntoma es muy pequeo y de aqu que este
remedio ocupa un lugar. Hay algunos sntomas raros, peculiares. extraos para los
cuales tenemos pocos medicamentos y debemos trabajar por otras vas y a travs de
datos colaterales para obtener el estado constitucional del paciente. El Alumen cur el
dolor opresivo de la coronilla en un paciente en el cual alternaba con la ms molesta e
irritable vejiga.
"Vrtigo al estar de espaldas con debilidad en la boca del estmago, mejor al abrir los ojos,
mejor al volverse a la derecha". Sin embargo, hay otra caracterstica en este
medicamento ya que la palpitacin se produce por estar acostado sobre el lado derecho.
Una cosa muy singular que sorprender a cualquiera por que en general las palpitaciones
son peores al estar acostado del lado izquierdo. Un corazn con palpitaciones,
agrandado y desordenado se encuentra generalmente peor cuando est acostado sobre el
lado izquierdo por tener menos lugar, pero es extrao, nico y raro cuando estos
sntomas son peores al estar acostado sobre el lado derecho. Cuando se presente esta
dolencia en un paciente es necesario encontrar un medicamento que tenga exactamente
este sntoma y muy a menudo se ver que los sntomas restantes del caso se adaptan al
remedio que ha producido este estado peculiar.
Hay una caracterstica ms que Ud. debe agregar a estas cosas como pesadez y pereza de
los msculos de todo el cuerpo, una sensacin de debilidad en los brazos y piernas.
En la constipacin hay cierta necesidad en evacuar sin resultado o pueden pasar varios das
sin deseos. No hay capacidad para evacuar. Despus de mucho tiempo de esfuerzos sin
resultado hay una evacuacin de masas aglomeradas como bolitas juntas. Esta es una
caracterstica muy importante en la indicacin de Alumen. "Evacuacin: menos
frecuente, ms seca y ms dura; piezas grandes oscuras o pequeas como de oveja; sin
alivio posteriormente. Despus de evacuar hay una sensacin como si el recto estuviera
todava lleno. Esta caracterstica peculiar se presenta con la debilidad o paresis del
recto, vale decir que el recto no es suficientemente fuerte para expeler todo su
contenido y de aqu la sensacin de evacuacin no terminada. Hay ulceracin del recto
con lceras sangrantes. Las hemorroides estn ulceradas y son dolorosas, as que
despus de cada evacuacin se prolonga el sufrimiento en el recto.
El estado catarral prevalece como sntoma dominante en Alumen. En antiguos pacientes

escrofulosos, psricos, sujetos a secrecin blanda de los ojos, con venas dilatadas, con
secrecin crnica amarilla de la vagina y de la uretra en el varn; gonorrea crnica
indolora. Agregado a las secreciones catarrales hay una tendencia a la ulceracin, as
que se producen pequeas mculas ulcerativas en la vagina, aftas y en el cuello del
tero. Cuando un paciente sufre de gonorrea crnica, en vez de producirse las
secreciones blancas como es usual permanece amarilla, y hay pequeas induraciones en
la uretra que el paciente llama la atencin del mdico como "bultos". Secrecin con
"pequeos manojos" a lo largo de la uretra. Hay pequeas ulceraciones y por debajo de
ellas induraciones. Cuando se presenta este estado Ud. tiene una gonorrea de Alumen.
En breve lapso el paciente tendr dos o tres estrecheces mientras obtiene el remedio,
por que cada una de estas pequeas ulceraciones terminan en una estrechez haciendo
ms angosto el conducto. Otra caracterstica extraa en los estados catarrales y en las
lceras es su tendencia a afectar a los vasos. Las venas se tornan varicosas y sangran,
as que ellas pueden sangrar de las reas catarrales y de las lceras.
Hay muchos dolores neurlgicos de la cabeza de un carcter indefinido, por la maana al

despertar. Los sntomas oculares son de carcter congestivo, con tendencia a la
ulceracin. Oftalmia purulenta, dolores crnicos de los ojos. "Ve las cosas doble a la luz
de vela". "Plipo nasal del lado izquierdo. Lupus o cncer en la nariz. Cara plida como
un cadver, labios azulados. Escirro de la lengua". Ver que tendencia tiene para
producir crecimientos diminutos, pequeas induraciones e infiltraciones. Sangran las
encas y los dientes caen y las encas se retraen; los dientes se aflojan; apariencia
escorbtica de las encas. "Boca ulcerada, con sensacin de ardor; gris, sucia, mucosa
esponjosa alrededor del diente, rodeado por carnosidad y saliva ofensiva". Tenemos en
la boca la misma caracterstica general ulcerativa, con sequedad de lengua y garganta y
mucha sed de agua helada. "Uvula agrandada e inflamada. Predisposicin a la
amigdalitis".
"Vomitando cada cosa que come". Despus de esto Ud. puede colocar la palabra lcera,
porque se refiere especficamente a ese estado congestivo en que hay ulceracin fcil.
En el abdomen encontramos flatulencia. Los intestinos no cumplen con su misin, tienen

una accin espasmdica y, consecuentemente, el paciente sufre de calambres, clicos y
dolores, agudos, lacerantes. Retraccin del abdomen y del ombligo. En los efectos del
envenenamiento de los que trabajan con plomo Ud. ver casi una rplica de este remedio
y no se sorprender al observar que Plumbum y este medicamento son antdotos uno del
otro. Ello es a causa de que son tan similares que no pueden vivir en la misma casa. El
Alumen es un gran medicamento para contrarrestar clicos de plomo en aquellos que
trabajan con ese metal; l elimina la susceptibilidad. Hay muchos pintores que tienen
que renunciar a su ocupacin a causa de esta susceptibilidad. El Alumen superar esta
tendencia y le permitir volver a su trabajo.
En la mujer notamos "peso del tero que presiona hacia abajo sobre el colon; granulaciones
en la vagina; copiosa leucorrea; tez amarillenta; induracin uterina e incluso escirro;
ulceracin del tero". Algunas veces Ud. obtiene la evidencia de este estado vaginal
cuando la mujer le dice que el coito le resulta tan doloroso que es imposible. No es
sorprendente que el acto natural no puede ser realizado cuando existe tanto trastorno.
"La voz est enteramente apagada". Prdida crnica de la voz debida a un bajo estado de la
economa y por tomar siempre aire fro. Expectoracin abundante de mucus amarillo;
carraspea continuamente para expulsar una pequea acumulacin de mucus amarillo.
"Tos seca a la noche despus de acostarse". "Tos crnica matinal". La tos no es una
cosa muy importante en este medicamento; es el estado general de la economa el que
debe contemplarse. La tos no interpretar la naturaleza de la enfermedad al mdico,
porque estas pequeas ulceraciones que se encuentran deben provocar alguna clase de
tos. Este paciente puede evolucionar hacia una tisis o ser afectado por alguna
enfermedad incurable.
El Alumen ha sido muy til en el tratamiento de gente anciana que sufre de copiosas
expectoraciones viscosas matinales, catarro del pecho, gran debilidad y hemoptisis
torcica, de tal manera que se hace difcil expeler el mucus. En esto es similar al
Antimonium tartaricum.
A causa de su relacin con Alumen pruebas ulteriores desarrollarn indudablemente el

hecho de que tiene muchos sntomas medulares. Es bien conocido que tiene una mdula
dbil, con enfriamientos en la misma con una sensacin como si fuera derramada sobre
la espalda agua fra. Dolor en la espina dorsal sobre una lnea desde el ngulo inferior
del omplato; debilidad en esta regin y en los hombros. A semejanza de Alumina hay
la sensacin de constriccin, como una cuerda o banda alrededor de los miembros.
Sensacin como si un cordel estuviera atado alrededor del miembro superior.
La pesadez en los dedos, como se observa en las cosas que se caen, el dolor en los
miembros inferiores por la noche, la laxitud y adormecimiento, son otras tantas
manifestaciones de los sntomas espinales. La sensacin de una cuerda alrededor de la
pierna por debajo de la rodilla; planta de los pies sensibles a la presin al caminar; pies
entumecidos y fros, no obstante estar cubiertos con abrigo; piernas fras hasta las
rodillas. Hay otras evidencias adicionales de la accin del medicamento en la mdula
espinal. Dolores ardientes en todos los miembros. Parlisis de todos los miembros con
hormigueo.
Se despierta a la noche con una sensacin como si la sangre corriera impetuosamente a

travs del cuerpo. Muchos trastornos aparecen durante el sueo. Pesadillas. Es sensible
a los cambios de temperatura y mucho al fro.

first been driven to the head by the suddenness and severity of the pain), were leaving it and
the extremities altogether; they were quite cold;her sight grew dim, and she became so faint
that she expected every moment to fall from her seat.

her she feared to make the attempt to leave the pew, lest she should not have strength to
reach the door unaided, much less her home. The attack lasted, she thinks, about half an
hour, after which the violence of the pain gradually abated, the faintness passed off, the
chilliness gave place to heat, and the blood rushed to her head with such a force, that she
could hardly hold it up, or keep her eyes open, though quite conscious of the services going
on about her. After services she was able to walk slowly home, though very weak, feeling
very much as if she had been ill for a month. She felt the weakness especially in her back,

breath, it appeared to come from a spot on each side of the spine, about the middle of the

becomes more perceptible with every step, [_a1], b.

the back in the evening(first day)(second day), [_a1].

AMBRA GRISEA (Lathoud)
Ambra Grsea o mbar gris es una concrecin intestinal de los cachalotes, que no debe
confundirse con el mbar amarillo que es una resina fsil.
Se lo encuentra en pequeas masas que flotan en el mar o son arrojadas a las costas de la
India, frica y Francia; el ms estimado es el procedente de Sumatra y Madagascar.
Parece cera algo endurecida, su color es intenso y agradable, y su sabor recuerda el de la
grasa vieja.
Las tres primeras dinamizaciones se obtienen por trituracin hahnnemaniana; las ms
elevadas a partir de la tercera, por diluciones hahnemannianas sucesivas.
No llega a afectar la va vegetativa como para producir lesiones orgnicas y se localiza casi
nicamente SOBRE EL SISTEMA NERVIOSO, determinando un ESTADO
NEUROPATICO DE TIPO DEPRESIVO, astenia general con calambres, tirones,
ESPASMOS MUSCULARES a veces intensos. Dice Farrington que donde no haya
sntomas nerviosos, no debe darse este medicamento.
Caractersticas
CONSTITUCIN Y TIPO: Afecciones en nios excitables, nerviosos y dbiles, individuos

delgados y flacos, de temperamento muy nervioso y cuyo nerviosismo exagerado parece
determinar su desnutricin; viejos nerviosos que pierden la memoria (Farrington).
"Individuos PREMATURAMENTE VIEJOS. Gente de 50 aos con sntomas propios de los

80; vejez prematura. Temblor y debilidad caractersticos de la senilidad. Temblor,
tambaleo, estado mental con prdida de memoria propia de una vida en plena
declinacin. Habla de una cosa, sin esperar respuesta pasa a otra, saltando de una a otra
idea. Estado de espritu soador, de senilidad. El remedio es til para la gente joven cuya
inteligencia no ha cado an en la locura, pero est muy debilitada (Kent).
ENTUMECIMIENTO: Muchas molestias del remedio tienen esta caracterstica propia de los
ancianos; sensibilidad disminuida y circulacin dbil (Kent).
HEMORRAGIAS, SANGRAS FCILES :Abundan en este remedio; por nariz, tero,

vejiga, indicando circulacin perezosa en que la sangre filtra a travs de las mucosas
atnicas (Kent).
El remedio es til en las ENFERMEDADES NERVIOSAS en que hay FALTA DE

REACCIN como consecuencia de debilidad nerviosa, en cambio PSORINUM se usa
cuando la falta de reaccin se debe puramente a un vicio constitucional.
Modalidades
A) Monolateralidad
Transpiracin de un slo lado, o del lado afectado solamente. Al costado derecho de la

cabeza hay un punto en que al tocar los cabellos se sufre como si all hubiese una llaga;
hipersensibilidad de un slo lado del cuerpo (Kent).
B) Agravacin
a) POR PRESENCIA DE OTRAS PERSONAS, IGUAL QUE POR LA
CONVERSACIN; por ej.: Una mujer cuidada por una enfermera, es incapaz de mover
el vientre en su presencia. NATR. MUR. no puede orinar si no est solo. Confusin
espiritual frente a otras personas. Tan pronto como el sujeto se encuentra entre gente
siente las mejillas clidas, tiembla, sus nervios se excitan y sus ideas se desvanecen
(Kent).
b) POR LA MAANA.
c) DESPUS DE HABER COMIDO.
d) Por bebidas CALIENTES y en habitacin CALIENTE.
e) ESTANDO ACOSTADO.
f) POR LA MSICA, que no tolera porque lo agrava mentalmente y le produce dolores

de espalda. La msica parece una sustancia que lo aprisiona (Kent). ACON., GRAPH.,
NATR. CARB., SABINA, SEPIA, THUYA).
C) Mejora
POR EL AIRE FRESCO, alimentos y bebidas fras, y levantndose del lecho.
Sntomas mentales
Curiosidad momentnea, cambiante, que SALTA DE UN TEMA AL OTRO. Pacientes que

pasan de una pregunta a otra sin esperar las respuestas. Frecuentemente se encuentra este
cuadro entre las damas elegantes de la sociedad moderna. CONFUSIN CON RPIDA
EVASIN DE IDEAS. Esfuerzos tremendos para poder reflexionar. Si consigue hacerlo,
se sienta para enumerar con pesadez lo ms desagradable de su espritu, de lo que no
puede librarse. NATR. MUR. siente alivio al comunicar sus infortunios, pero AMBR.
GRIS. no lo logra. ALTERNANCIA DE DEPRESIN MENTAL CON VEHEMENCIA
DE CARCTER. Frente a tal estado el paciente piensa que pierde la inteligencia, y por
ltimo decae para aquietarse en un rincn MELANCLICO, TRISTE,
DESESPERADO, no desea continuar viviendo. Esto suele durarle das, CON LLANTO
(PULS).
A menudo este estado anmico es el resultado de ACUMULACIN DE MALESTARES

MENTALES, DESGRACIAS, MALOS NEGOCIOS O DESORDENES
DOMSTICOS. Al contrario de un tsico, no tiene caquexia pero s gran postracin
nerviosa y mental. Nada le consuela, se considera perdido para siempre, es incapaz de
razonar y ver su situacin con filosofa; ya no le interesan sus negocios, ni sus amigos, se
pregunta si la vida merece ser vivida. (Kent).
Sueo
Insomnio despus de inquietud o preocupacin por los negocios; debe levantarse. Podr ir a
acostarse muy cansado, pero tan pronto su cabeza toma contacto con la almohada,
comienza a estar preocupado y el sueo se le va (Farrington). Durante el sueo el cuerpo
est fro, tiene temblores y sacudidas en las piernas.

senil o debilitamiento nervioso de la vista (Kent).
Sensacin de quemadura en el ojo derecho y en los prpados. Dolores desgarrantes con

punzadas cortas, en y sobre el ojo derecho; presin sobre la ceja izquierda, punzadas
agravadas despus de haber comido, y lagrimeo.
Odos
Agudeza del odo disminuida; sordera sin afeccin orgnica. Facultades auditivas tan
alteradas que la msica AGRAVA LOS SNTOMAS, debido a perturbacin de los
nervios auditivos. Or msica congestiona la cabeza y agrava la tos. CALC. OSTR. tiene
tal sensibilidad, que el solo tocar un piano produce dolores en diversas partes del cuerpo,
principalmente en la laringe (Kent).
Aparato digestivo
1) BOCA Y FARINGE: Sequedad bucal con sed. Dolores larngeos al tragar. Sensacin
de crudeza en la garganta. Agravados por la maana. A la sequedad se une acumulacin
mucosa que el paciente trata de expulsar, con provocacin de tos. Nuseas y a veces
vmitos (Kent).
2) ESTOMAGO: Agravacin despus de haber comido y de bebidas calientes,

especialmente leche. Despus de haber comido, tos y bostezos. Vmitos a cada acceso de

noche, con borborigmos y dolores punzantes intestinales; vientre fro, o sensacin de que
la pared abdominal interna est fra (Kent).
Sensacin de presin heptica profunda; agravacin por la maana, despus de haber comido
y de cada deposicin.
CONSTIPACIN INVETERADA en personas de edad, principalmente CUANDO LE ES

IMPOSIBLE AGUANTAR A ALGUIEN CERCA EN EL MOMENTO DE EVACUAR.
Deseos frecuentes e ineficaces de evacuar, lo que lo vuelve ansioso y no le permite
soportar a nadie cerca. Despus de evacuar, el paciente experimenta sensacin de
presin, o debilidad y vaco en el vientre, que se calma mediante un escape de gas o un
eructo (Kent).
Aparato urinario
Al ser emitida la orina parece turbia, amarillo-marrn, y al enfriarse deja sedimento oscuro;
puede ser abundante, de olor cido, orina sanguinolenta que deja sedimento rojizo.
Durante la miccin, sensacin de ardor, escozor, comezn y titilacin en uretra y vulva.
rganos genitales

entumecimiento de la regin genital.
REGLAS DEMASIADO ABUNDANTES Y FRECUENTES, CON PICAZN DE LA

REGIN GENITAL; dolores y picazn con hinchazn de labios; aumento de las vrices
de las piernas, si las hubiere.
FLUJO SANGUNEO ABUNDANTE ENTRE PERIODOS MENSTRUALES.

Tos espasmdica VIOLENTA, CON ERUCTOS Y ENRONQUECIMIENTO.
Esta tos es de origen principalmente nervioso, y se acompaa de sntomas tales como

temblor, nerviosidad y excitacin, que podran hacer creer en perturbaciones cerebro-
espinales. Tos por irritacin por constriccin de laringe, paroxstica, semejante al
coqueluche; con mucosidad blanca. Disnea asmtica, causada por la msica, malas ideas,
ansiedad, agravadas cuando un extrao se le acerca o entra en la habitacin, al excitar su
sistema nervioso. Tos reflejo de influencias mentales, seguida de eructos o vmitos
(Farrington).
Asma y disnea con sntomas cardacos al menor ejercicio, o tentativa de coito (Kent). Este
medicamento es til en el asma acompaada de trastornos cardacos con sensacin de
opresin en el costado izquierdo del pecho, no como cactus, que tiene sensacin de que
le oprimen el corazn (Farrington).
Dolor opresivo profundo y desgarrante en el costado izquierdo del pecho (Kent). Sensacin
de comezn y de crudeza en el pecho, que se desplaza si el paciente se toca y rasca en el
lugar (Kent).
Palpitaciones cardacas y temblores al menor ejercicio, a la menor excitacin, escuchando

msica y al menor esfuerzo mental. Percibe el palpitar hasta en las extremidades;
pulsaciones y latidos en las extremidades. Las palpitaciones conducen a disnea (Kent).

(Farrington).
Relaciones
Hay muchas semejanzas con ACTEA RAC., ASA FOET., COCEA, IGNAT., PHOSPH.,
VALER., y MOSCH. Este ltimo le sigue muy bien.
AMBRA GRISEA (Kent)
Al considerar este remedio en conjunto les parecer que han estado estudiando las
caractersticas Be uno con vejez prematura. Muchas veces vern en alguien de
cincuenta aos de edad las caractersticas que deberan aparecer a los ochenta, y tras
estudiar este remedio vern que se presenta el mismo aspecto, prematuramente
envejecido. Reconocemos el temblor y un tipo peculiar de debilidad que no puede
describirse con otra palabra que senilidad; no se trata de la confusin mental
correspondiente a la enfermedad, sino el estado peculiar que reconocemos en la gente
vieja, en la declinacin de la vida; temblores y tartamudeo y un estado somnoliento de
la mente, muy olvidadizo. Pasa de un sujeto a otro, haciendo una pregunta y, sin esperar
que le sea contestada formulan otra. Y as salta de un tema a otro. Es difcil decir que se
trate de confusin; es un estado somnoliento de la mente, un estado de senilidad. Este
remedio es til cuando se halla ese estado en personas jvenes, cuando la mente no est
insana y sin embargo est dbil. Es indicado especialmente para aquellas personas que
manifiestan una momentnea y fugaz curiosidad, saltando de un tema a otro. A menudo
un paciente me formula una pregunta tras otra, sin esperar la respuesta a la primera, un
conversador inconstante y voluble, que parece no darse cuenta de que no le he
contestado sus preguntas; ese paciente, me digo, necesita Ambra grisea. Ese estado
mental corresponde a mujeres de sociedad modernas tan a menudo que les sorprender a
ustedes notarlo en todo el mundo. Una elegante de la sociedad moderna, que no sera
capaz de zurcir sus medias ni para salvar su alma, caer en unos pocos aos
precisamente en ese estado, y ni siquiera Ambra la curar . Pero hay un tipo de
enfermedad nerviosa manifestada por estos sntomas, que Ambra grisea curar . La
alternancia de depresin espiritual con vehemencia del temperamento es otra de sus
caractersticas. Eso corresponde, naturalmente, a la vejez. Un perodo de la mayor
excitabilidad es seguido frecuentemente por una depresin, un estado de indiferencia
para todo, a la alegra, a la pena, a la gente, etc., tratando con indiferencia cosas que
hubiesen quebrantado naturalmente el corazn de una persona equilibrada. Ni siquiera
se pregunta por qu no se siente excitado ante esas cosas maravillosas, tan decidido es
su estado de indiferencia. Muchos de los malestares empeoran por la maana. El
paciente se levanta con la mente confusa y pesada, sufre un estado de somnolencia y
hacia el atardecer evidencia sntomas de insana.
Ambra es una de las medicinas ms frecuentemente indicadas en el vrtigo simple, no

descrito, de los viejos. Tan aturdidos que no pueden salir a la calle; tan aturdidos al
levantarse por la maana que necesitan esperar un ratito antes de poder moverse sobre
sus pies. Es el aturdimiento correspondiente a la senilidad y a la vejez prematura. Ahora
bien, cuando este hombre se consagra a meditar sobre algo, sus ideas se le van. Es una
especie de confusin con desaparicin de ideas. El paciente debe realizar un esfuerzo
desacostumbrado, unas pocas veces, para poner nuevamente en su lugar sus
pensamientos antes de poder concentrar su mente para pensar sobre alguna idea. Pero,
aunque la concentracin de la mente es difcil, se siente impulsado a sentarse y meditar
insistentemente en las cosas ms desagradables que se le adhieren y de las cuales no
puede desembarazarse. Es aproximadamente anlogo a Natrum mur., pero la
caracterstica peculiar de este ltimo es que ella se deleita en pensar sobre sucesos
desagradables del pasado y permanece despierta por la noche meditando en ellas.
Ambra grisea es forzada a pensar en esas cosas. Imgenes, caras irreales, horribles
imaginaciones, fantasas y visiones lo molestan y mantienen despierto. En estado
semidormido sigue manteniendo ante su mente estas muecas. Semejante estado mental
puede provenir de dificultades en los negocios, con vrtigo, congestin a la cabeza y
cansancio cerebral.
Hay algo que se produce a travs de este remedio: la presencia de otras personas agrava los
sntomas; y tambin la marcada agravacin por la conversacin. Una mujer, cuando es
atendida por una enfermera, se ve imposibilitada de mover el vientre sin enviar a la
enfermera a otra habitacin. A pesar de todos sus esfuerzos, no puede hacer nada salvo
que se halle sola. Se dice en Natr. mur. que la paciente no puede orinar en presencia de
otras personas. La orina no sale cuando hay alguien en la cercana. Se trata de una
especie de caracterstica general de este remedio. Confusin mental y vergenza en
presencia de otras personas. Dificultades con la compaa. Tan pronto como tiene
compaa aparece el rubor, los temblores, la excitacin nerviosa, y los pensamientos se
desvanecen. Con estos sntomas el paciente se imagina que est enloqueciendo y
finalmente cae en un estado de melancola, tristeza y desesperacin, y no quiere vivir.
Odia su vida y quiere morir. "Gran tristeza". "Melancola, permanece sentado das
enteros, llorando". Tal es el estado mental de este paciente prematuramente envejecido,
con constitucin quebrantada. Es el reflejo de un naufragio y el dilema surgir cuando
ustedes encuentren un paciente que parezca y acte de esta manera: "se lo habr
recibido a tiempo para curarlo? Vern fcilmente que tienen ante ustedes alguien que va
barranca abajo y destinado a caer en la insana de una forma u otra. Un mdico nota el
presagio de un profundo derrumbamiento cuando ve al paciente Ambra grisea con el
nervioso estado mental, y los temblores, estremecimientos y excitacin en quien haba
sido un hombre fuerte y vigoroso. Algn gran shock en los negocios o en su hogar, ha
afectado a este paciente. No es el aspecto que ustedes ven cuando la tisis es inminente;
no se ve la condicin caquctica, se trata de una postracin del sistema nervioso. Una
postracin mental. Un hombre sigue la senda de una muerte tras otra en la familia, y
parece no quedar nada; no puede pensar en ello filosficamente; ha perdido su negocio
y sus amigos y entonces empieza a soar y se pregunta si la vida vale la pena de ser
vivida. Es entonces que ustedes tienen delante el aspecto Ambra grisea.
Muchos de los malestares se presentan por la maana y muchos despus de comer. "Vrtigo
con sensacin de un peso sobre el vrtex; empeora despus de dormir"; pero
especialmente por la maana. No se lo menciona en el texto, pero tambin empeora
despus de comer. "Tuve que acostarme debido al vrtigo y a la sensacin de debilidad
en el estmago".
A travs de los sntomas nerviosos, encontramos que la msica es intolerable; la msica le

hace temblar, agrava sus sntomas mentales y le provoca dolores en la espalda, como
martillazos. Hay muchos sntomas fsicos causados por or msica. Sus sones se le
aparecen como una sustancia material que se apoderar de l.
Los malestares son muchas veces unilaterales; transpiracin en un lado del cuerpo o en el
lado afectado. "En el lado derecho de la cabeza, un lugar donde el cabello, al tocarlo,
duele como si estuviere llagado". Igual sensacin en la piel, supersensible al contacto.
"El cuero cabelludo est dolorido por la maana, Encontrar la palabra entumecimiento
entre los malestares. Se hallar una especie peculiar de entumecimiento, como la que
ataca a los viejos. Menor sensibilidad de las partes; circulacin dbil .
Asimismo encontramos, entre los sntomas oculares, "Visin opaca, como si se mirase a
travs de la niebla". Puede producirse esa visin opaca sin que haya en el ojo estado
alguno que lo justifique. Es un obscurecimiento nervioso de la visin, una parlisis
senil. "Comezn en el prpado, como si se estuviese formando un orzuelo". La
comezn se siente en todo el cuerpo; comezn en todas las pequeas aberturas.
Entre los sntomas que no figuran en el texto y que pertenecen decididamente a este
remedio, figura: "Dolor de cabeza presionante, que empieza desde las dos sienes, con
tirantez y desgarramiento de la cabeza, hacia adelante y hacia atrs. Punzadas en la
cabeza, dolores lancinantes, cortantes, que empeoran con el esfuerzo y mejoran con la
inmovilidad y al acostarse. Dolor de cabeza al sonarse la nariz. Dolor presionante en la
aliente frontal y en el ojo. Ardor en el ojo derecho y en los prpados. Desgarramiento
en trechos cortos en y sobre el ojo derecho, presin sobre la ceja derecha, puntadas
agravadas despus de comer; lagrimeo". Esto est en las pruebas originales, pero no en
el texto; ha sido dejado de lado. Tal es el caso en todo Guiding Symptoms; sntomas
importantes fueron dejados de lado porque era necesario para abreviar la obra.
"La audicin disminuye". Se oye poco a pesar de no existir ninguna afeccin orgnica del
odo. Tan disminuida est su capacidad auditiva, que la msica le agrava los sntomas,
por estar afectados los nervios de la audicin. "El escuchar msica provoca congestin
en la cabeza". La msica le agrava la tos. Pienso en alguien que comenzaba a toser
simplemente por or msica! Qu cosa rara! Calcarea tiene tanta sensibilidad que los
sones del piano son dolorosos en rganos, especialmente en la laringe.
El remedio abunda en hemorragia. Copiosa hemorragia nasal por la maana. Tenemos aqu
adems la agravacin matinal. Tenemos la idea de la circulacin dbil debido a fciles
flujos desde las mucosas. "Copiosa hemorragia nasal a hora temprana, en la cama".
"Sangre seca se le acumula en la nariz". "Prolongada y continuada sequedad de la nariz,
frecuente irritacin cuando estornuda". En la nariz, un catarro viejo y seco con estado
atrfico de la mucosa. La parte interior de la nariz queda lustrosa y macilenta.
Sequedad en la boca sin sed. Dolor penetrante en la garganta entre los actos de tragar.
Aspereza de la garganta. Los malestares de la garganta empeoran por la maana.
Empeoran tambin despus de comer y de beber bebidas calientes, especialmente la
leche caliente. "Despus de comer, tos y arcadas". Existe una combinacin peculiar de
sntomas respecto de la garganta. Sequedad y acumulacin de mucus en la garganta,
que el paciente trata de expulsar, y cuando hace un esfuerzo por toser y expulsar el
mucus, sufre arcadas y a veces vomita. Vmitos al toser. Debilidad en el fondo del
estmago despus de cada evacuacin; sensacin de vaco en el fondo del estmago.
Presin profunda en la zona del hgado; empeora por la maana; tambin despus de
comer y despus de sus deposiciones. Distensin del abdomen con gran flatulencia,
especialmente despus de comer. Algunos sntomas empeoran despus de beber.
Algunas veces estos malestares se presentan en la mitad de la noche, despertndolo con
ruidos y cortes en los intestinos. El abdomen est fro; da la sensacin de que estuviera
fra toda la parte interior del abdomen. En otras ocasiones el fro parece residir en un
costado del abdomen.
Constipacin inveterada en personas viejas, y especialmente en casos en que no pueden

tener a nadie cerca en el momento de la deposicin. "Frecuente pero intil deseo de
mover el vientre; esto la pone muy ansiosa; en esa oportunidad, la presencia de otras
personas le resulta insoportable". Despus de una deposicin normal hay presin en el
abdomen o una sensacin de vaco y debilidad en el mismo, la que mejora despus de
dejar salir el flato o eructos.
Orina sanguinolenta, con sedimento rojo. La orina, al ser emitida, es turbia, color marrn
amarillento y deja un sedimento pardo. "Orina de olor agrio". Es copiosa. "Durante la
miccin, ardores, escozor, comezn y cosquilleo en uretra y vulva". "Aspereza dolorosa
entre los muslos". "Picazn voluptuosa en el escroto". "Violentas erecciones matinales,
sin deseo", con entumecimiento de los genitales. Los sntomas son muy irregulares,
como sucede en Ignatia y Natr. mur. Tomados en conjunto pueden ser reconciliados,
pero si se los considera de a pocos cada vez parecen maravillosamente inconsistentes.
Debe considerarse todo el remedio a fin de comprenderlo.
Copioso flujo de sangre entre los perodos menstruales. "Derrame de sangre entre perodos
ante cualquier pequeo accidente". Descarga de sangre desde la vagina por el hecho de
hacer presin en una deposicin dura; hasta por una caminata un poco demasiado
extensa o por un esfuerzo excesivo. "Durante los menstruos, la pierna izquierda se pone
de color bien azul por causa de vrices distendidas, con dolor presionante en la pierna".
"El estar acostada agrava los sntomas uterinos", cosa totalmente inesperada. Menstruos
prematuros y demasiado profusos. "Los menstruos aparecen siete das antes del tiempo
debido" y entonces aparece esa horrible picazn en los genitales;"dolor y picazn, con
hinchazn de los labios".
Otra caracterstica llamativa de este remedio, que puede esperarse con toda esta postracin
y excitacin nerviosa es la disnea, con sntomas cardacos y dificultades para respirar,
una especie de asma. Se presenta ante cualquier pequeo esfuerzo. Asma al intentar el
coito.
"Picazn, raspaduras y aspereza en la laringe y la trquea". "Cosquilleo en garganta, laringe

y trquea". En todas esas partes hay picazn, la que toma muchas veces forma de
hormigueo. "Asma de los viejos y los nios", en los dbiles, temblorosos, dbiles.
"Silbido en el pecho, al respirar". "Tos espasmdica". "Violenta tos espasmdica con
frecuentes eructos y ronquera". Muchas veces esta tos es de origen nervioso. Es una tos
con excitacin, nerviosa, con temblores, que hace que los mdicos experimentados se
pregunten si ese paciente no tiene inconvenientes cerebrales y en la mdula espinal. Tos
nerviosa, como ocurre a menudo en la irritacin espinal. Tos por constriccin de la
laringe seguida por copioso flujo de mucus blanco. Es sta una tos paroxismal, muy
similar a la tos convulsa. Disnea asmtica por cualquier pequeo esfuerzo, por or
msica, por excitacin. Tos con congestin de sangre a la cabeza. Tos por pensar y por
ansiedad.
No mucho despus que se muestran estos sntomas, el paciente aparecer enflaquecido y

seco, al extremo de que la piel parezca carne seca. Con todo esto es un paciente
tembloroso, vacilante.
Se queja mucho de una presin desgarrante y profunda en el lado izquierdo del pecho.
Sensacin de tener el pecho en carne viva y picazn en el mismo. Hormigueo y
picazn, los que van de un lado a otro si el paciente trata de tocarse el lugar y de
rascarse.
No les sorprender saber que este paciente sufre palpitaciones al corazn ante un leve
esfuerzo, por excitacin, por or msica, por cualquier esfuerzo tendiente a fijar la
atencin en algo, de temores y estremecimientos. Y esta palpitacin la siente hasta en
las extremidades; vibra todo el cuerpo. Siente sus arterias en todas partes y la
palpitacin de su corazn provoca opresin al respirar.
Las extremidades se entumecen con facilidad; se le duermen ante la presin ms leve; por
tenerlas cruzadas; Fro, temblores y endurecimiento de las extremidades. Las uas de los
dedos de la mano se le ponen quebradizas y marchitas. Los brazos se le duermen al
tenerlos cados. "Dolores entre los muslos y sensacin de tenerlos en carne viva y en el
hueco de las rodillas". Pesadez de las extremidades inferiores, debilidad paraltica; el
paciente est envejeciendo; llega la senectud. Este remedio ha curado los temblores
prematuros que atacan a personas de mediana edad. Tambin ha curado la tendencia a
dormir y el entumecimiento y dbil circulacin con prdida del poder muscular. Es muy
conveniente en nios que son excitables, nerviosos y dbiles. "En personas de edad y
nios
AMBRA GRISEA (Paschero)
Vejez prematura: un hombre a los 50 aos parece como de 80, con sntomas seniles,
debilidad, temblores (tottering), temblequeo y vacilacin al caminar, confusin mental como
entre sueos (forgetful).
Es un remedio para personas jvenes, cuando su mente no es la de un insano, pero dbil.

Salta de una cosa a otra, con gran inquietud mental, formula una pregunta tras otra sin
esperar respuesta. Salta de una pregunta a otra sin darse cuenta de que no ha obtenido
respuesta alguna. Se ven estos casos en muchas mujeres modernas. Son neurticas que
implican un estado de debilidad mental.
Alternancia de depresin con vehemencia temperamental o excitacin. Cae en un estado de

indiferencia en que la gente, la alegra o la tristeza no lo alteran. Se asombra de que un
acontecimiento lo deje imperturbable. Peor de maana, se despierta en estado somnoliento, al
atardecer cae en insania. Vrtigo de los viejos sin modalidades. No puede salir a la calle.
Vrtigo cuando se levanta a la maana. Tiene que esperar un rato antes de poder levantarse,
senilidad o vejez prematura. Empeora despus de comer. Tiene que acostarse por el vrtigo y
la sensacin de debilidad en el estmago. Sntomas despus de comer. Cuando intenta pensar
o meditar se le van las ideas, no puede concentrarse y, a pesar de ello, se sienta y no puede
rechazar pensamientos sobre cosas pasadas (dwels upon most disagreeable things). Tiene
alucinaciones, imgenes, caras horribles que lo mantienen despierto. Las preocupaciones de
negocios pueden traerle este estado de vrtigo, congestin de cabeza y reblandecimiento
cerebral.
LA PRESENCIA DE OTRA PERSONA AGRAVA LOS SNTOMAS: una mujer cuidada por
una enfermera no puede ir de cuerpo si no la manda a otra habitacin. Confusin y embarazo
en presencia de otra persona. En cuanto se halla en compaa le acometen temblores,
excitacin nerviosa y se le desvanecen los pensamientos. Con estos sntomas el paciente
imagina que ha decado mentalmente, cae en un estado de melancola y ya no quiere vivir.
Loathing of life and wants to die. Gran tristeza y melancola; se sienta por das a llorar, va
decayendo paulatinamente en un estado de insania o demencia. Postracin mental, debilidad
mental. Una persona a quien se le han ido muriendo parientes y amigos, en vez de tomar esto
normalmente con filosofa, se apesadumbra, cree que ya no vale la pena vivir, cae as en el
estado de Ambra grisea. La msica lo agrava, le resulta intolerable, le trae dolores en la
columna, como martillazos. Muchos sntomas fsicos se agravan oyendo msica. Parece
como si las notas musicales fueran materiales y lo hirieran. Palpitaciones al menor ejercicio
por excitacin, por la msica, por cualquier esfuerzo por concentrarse, con temblores y
sobresaltos. Siente las palpitaciones hasta los pies, en todo el cuerpo, con opresin
respiratoria.
AMBRA GRISEA
Se supone que Ambra grisea es un producto morboso que proviene de la ballena. Tiene
una accin medicamentosa bien marcada. Como todas las substancias que tienen un fuerte
olor, obra prominentemente sobre el sistema nervioso. Cuando no hay sntomas nerviosos en
un caso, apenas puede esperarse un buen servicio de este medicamento. Ambra grisea afecta
al sistema nervioso cerebro-espinal, produciendo sntomas espasmdicos en distintas partes
del cuerpo; los msculos faciales se contraen. Puede usarse tambin en el insomnio que
proviene por inquietud mental, como por los malos negocios. El paciente puede, en estos
casos, irse a la cama sintindose relativamente cansado y no obstante, tan pronto como
coloca la cabeza en la almohada, vuelve nuevamente a preocuparse. Tal caso es el que
frecuentemente cura Ambra grisea. Este medicamento est indicado particularmente en los
hombres delgados y demacrados, que tienen un marcado temperamento nervioso y en los
cuales la nerviosidad predomina con detrimento de la nutricin. Est indicado
particularmente en las afecciones nerviosas de los ancianos, especialmente cuando pierden la
memoria y no pueden acordarse de los ms simples hechos. El vrtigo sobreviene cuando el
paciente se pone en movimiento; las piernas se sienten inseguras y vacila cuando camina;
tiene adormecimiento de los pies y hormigueo en los miembros, especialmente en los
inferiores; las piernas se le duermen fcilmente. Estos sntomas demuestran que hay una
debilidad funcional u orgnica del sistema nervioso cerebro-espinal. Podemos usar de esta
droga en los casos de reblandecimiento cerebral o medular, sea o no de origen senil.
Hay otro uso que nosotros podemos hacer de Ambra grisea. Es un medicamento que obra
rpidamente. Por consiguiente podemos darlo en las enfermedades nerviosas, cuya reaccin
es deficiente. Ya hemos hablado de un uso semejante de Psorinum; es ste, la falta de
reaccin proviene de un vicio constitucional. Pero en el caso de Ambra grisea, proviene de la
debilidad nerviosa. Encontraremos muchos casos parecidos, particularmente entre los
hombres.
Podemos emplear Ambra grisea en la tos, que empeora cuando hay personas extraas en
la habitacin o con algunas otras circunstancias que tiendan a excitar el sistema nervioso;
puede haber tos refleja por preocupaciones mentales. En estos casos es muy parecido a
Phosphorus.
Ambra est tambin indicado en la tos, seca o no coqueluche, cuando es seguida de

eructos. No hay muchos medicamentos que curen este sntoma. Ambra grisea es uno de los
mejores; los dems son : Sulphuric. acid., Arnica, Sanguinaria y Veratrum alb. Algunas veces
los eructos vienen durante la tos, la que generalmente es un sntoma molesto y muy penoso.
En esto, Ambra coincide con Arsenicum, Cimex, Lachesis y Angustura. Podemos hacer uso
de Ambra en el asma, cuando va acompaado de sntomas cardiacos y opresin respiratoria;
de una sensacin de peso como si una masa comprimiese el lado izquierdo del pecho y
agitacin en la regin precordial. Esto proviene problablemente de una sensacin constrictiva
a este nivel; no como si una mano cogiera el corazn, sino como si el lado izquierdo del
pecho estuviera siendo comprimido. Generalmente va acompaado de palpitaciones
cardacas.
Ambra grisea obra marcadamente sobre los rganos genitales de la mujer, siendo en esto
su accin nica e importante. Produce atona uterina. Las menstruaciones son regulares; otras
veces se presentan con algunos das de anticipacin y son muy profusas, acompaadas de
epistaxis y dilatacin de las varicosas de los piernas (si la paciente tiene este estado de las
venas.) Hay un flujo de sangre entre dos pocas de la menstruacin. Todo excitacin ligera o
esfuerzo suplementario, como el esfuerzo para defecar, produce un escurrimiento veginal
sanguneo, que nos demuestra cun congestionado est el tero y relajados y dbiles los
tejidos. La leucorrea principalmente es mucosa y de tinte azuloso o gris azul.
Puede usarse Ambra grisea durante el perodo del parto, especialmente cuando la
constipacin es muy intensa. Se adapta bien a las mujeres nerviosas, delgadas, huesosas y
que tienen gran ansiedad e inquietud asociada a la constipacin; la paciente est
imposibilitada para llevar a cabo la evacuacin, mientras la ve alguna persona.

Ambra grisea (Hahnemann)

(ambr.)
(Ambergris, sometimes Ambra ambrosiaca, L.)
This substance, often adulterated on account of its high price, we can hope to get genuine
only in first-class drug stores.
The true ambergris, developed in the intestines of the sperm whale, as was proved by
SCHWEDJAUR, and probably a fatty excretion from its gall-bladder, is obtained of best
quality from the sea, especially after stormy weather, off the coasts of Madagascar and
Sumatra.
It consists of small, rough, opaque masses, which are lighter than water, of spongy
consistence, and can easily be broken up into rough, uneven pieces, externally of a
brownish-grey colour, internally permeated by yellowish, reddish, and blackish fibres
intermingled with whitish, very odorous points, somewhat greasy to the touch, and of faint
but very refreshing fragrance.
By the warmth of the fingers it becomes soft as wax, by the heat of boiling water it melts
into oil, at the same time exhales a strong, very agreeable fragrance, and on heated metal
burns quite away.
On applying a light to it it quickly takes fire, and burns with a bright flame.
Alcohol dissolves it very sparingly, but sulphuric ether dissolves it almost completely, and
on adding alcohol a white wax-like substance is thrown down.
It feeble odour is much increased by this solution, as also by triturating it with other
substances.
A grain of such genuine ambergris is triturated for an hour with 100 grains of milk-sugar in
a porcelain mortar (every 10 minutes divided between 6 minutes of trituration and 4
minutes of scraping).
Of this powder a grain is again triturated with another 100 grains of milk-sugar for an
equal length of time, and in the same manner; and, lastly, of this powder so obtained one
grain is again triturated with a similar quantity of milk-sugar, in the same manner, and also
for an hour.
This furnishes a potentized millionth attenuation of ambergris, a small portion of a grain of
which is not only sufficient for a dose for most homoeopathic purposes, but is often found
to be quite too powerful; in which case its effects may be moderated by several small doses
of camphor, but in many cases, according to the symptoms developed, by nux vomica, and
in rarer cases by pulsatilla.
The duration of the action of such a dose is, in chronic cases, at least three weeks. (The
symptoms indicated by the letters Gff. were observed by the State-councillor Freiherr von
GERSDORFF.)

AMMONIUM CARBONICUM (Nash)
Hemorragia nasal al lavarse la cara a la maana.
Mujeres dbiles, anmicas, flojas. Dbiles, ausencia de reaccin. Habituadas al frasco

de sales.
Tendencia a procesos gangrenosos de las glndulas, como en la escarlatina; de las

partidas.
Guernsey dice: "Este remedio parece ser particularmente til para las mujeres de
constitucin delicada, que se desvanecen con facilidad y necesitan recurrir a cada momento a
un frasco de sales para inhalar. Son dbiles, su reaccin es deficiente y por lo general de
temperamento linftico. Estas enfermas tienen necesidad de estimulantes, especialmente de
los que actan por intermedio de los nervios olfatorios, como las sales de amonio, el alcanfor,
el almizcle, el alcohol, etc. En el comienzo de una enfermedad que provoque rpida
postracin, como la meningitis cerebroespinal, este remedio se ha revelado eficaz para
excitar la reaccin del paciente y colocarlo en condiciones que permiten la eleccin del
siguiente remedio, indicado por la fuerza vital as despertada y en conflicto con lo que se da
en llamar "enfermedad".(*) A los lectores que no hayan estudiado el "Organon" sin duda les
causar extraeza la expresin: "lo que se da en llamar enfermedad." En beneficio de ellos
considero conveniente explicarla. Para Hahnemann la enfermedad consiste en una
perturbacin del principio vital que anima al organismo material y ella es, por lo tanto,
absolutamente "invisible", tan inaccesible a nuestros poderes de percepcin como lo es el
principio vital mismo. El principio vital sano (en estado de salud) proporciona sensaciones y
funciones normales, pero cuando se halla perturbado (en estado de enfermedad), da lugar a
sensaciones y funciones anormales, como asimismo, bajo ciertas condiciones, a alteraciones
estructurales, en una palabra, a lo que llamamos sntomas. Los sntomas, por lo tanto,
constituyen solamente una imagen externa y refleja de la enfermedad; ofrecen una
representacin visible de la alteracin invisible del principio vital. Pero a esta representacin
visible, a este cuadro de sntomas, la medicina aloptica lo llama "enfermedad"; de aqu
proviene la expresin de Nash que comentamos.
Como vemos, Hahnemann es categricamente vitalista. El vitalismo siempre fue

criticado sobre la base de que anula el inters por la investigacin de los aspectos fsicos y
qumicos en el terreno de la biologa, la fisiologa y la patologa. Esto es estrictamente cierto,
como lo es, por ejemplo, que el inters por la psiquiatra hace perder el inters por la ciruga
Pero es de lamentar que alguien tenga intereses psiquitricos y no quirrgicos?. Sealemos,
por nuestra parte, que el mecanismo limita ciertas regiones de la mente hasta el punto de no
poder advertir la vida en los organismos vivos sobre la base de esa concepcin vitalista,
segn sus oponentes, estril, la homeopata ha podido construir un sistema doctrinario
estable, ha inspirado a sus partidarios para realizar las monumentales investigaciones
cumplidas por esta escuela mdica en el campo de la farmacologa y la teraputica y, sobre
todo, ha capacitado a los mdicos para curar a los enfermos crnicos. (Nota del Traductor).
-Ammonium carbonicum es un buen remedio para el coriza seco, agudo o crnico, con
obstruccin nasal. El paciente est peor durante la noche y tiene que respirar por la boca.
Aqu pueden compararse con l Sambucus, Lycopodium, Nux vomica y Sticta pulmonaria.
Otro de los sntomas de la nariz, frecuentemente comprobado, es la presentacin de

epistaxis al lavarse la cara. (Kali carbonicum.) Ignoro por qu se producen en ese momento,
pero as ocurre y este remedio las cura.
-La nica otra afeccin para la que he encontrado a este medicamento muy til, es
para la escarlatina. El cuerpo est muy rojo, casi purpreo, y la garganta parece ser el punto
en que se concentra la fuerza de la enfermedad con su ms maligna intensidad. La erupcin
est escasamente desarrollada o bien parece haber desaparecido porque, a causa del
debilitamiento de la vitalidad del paciente, hay una completa incapacidad para mantenerla en
la superficie. (Zincum tiene convulsiones por la misma causa.) La erisipela de las personas de
edad y debilitadas est sujeta a este mismo proceso, y en los dos casos se hacen presentes
sntomas cerebrales que se asemejan al estupor alcohlico. Todo el organismo parece estar
dominado por el efecto deletreo de la toxinas. (Vase tambin Ailanthus.) En estos casos
Ammonium carbonicum nos ayudar algunas veces a superar la situacin.
AMMONIUM CARBONICUM (Lathoud)
Ammonium Carbonicum, o Carbonato de Amonaco, llamado tambin lcali voltil o sal

voltil de Inglaterra, es un sesquicarbonato de amonaco. Tiene olor fuertemente
amoniacal y sabor alcalino.
Las tres primeras dinamizaciones se obtienen por trituracin, las ms elevadas por diluciones
hahnemannianas sucesivas.
Es un medicamento constitucional de accin profunda. Acta en forma marcada SOBRE

LAS MUCOSAS produciendo inflamacin violenta que va desde simple irritacin, con
sensacin de escozor, de quemadura, hasta ulceracin; bajo su accin las secreciones
mucosas son acres, cidas; la saliva quema los labios que se agrietan en las comisuras, se
ponen en carne viva, secos, resquebrajados.
Lo mismo los prpados bajo la influencia de las lgrimas excoriantes; los rganos genitales
se ulceran porque la secrecin ataca las partes externas y ESTE CARCTER
EXCORIANTE ES PROPIO DE TODAS LAS SECRECIONES DE ESTE REMEDIO.
Acta adems sobre la sangre; si se toma AMM. CARB. durante cierto tiempo, producir
sntomas semejantes al escorbuto, con hemorragias de sangre negra a menudo lquida,
que no se coagula, por la nariz, tero, vejiga, intestinos, boca, etc. La piel toma un
aspecto marmreo y la paciente se demacra rpidamente.
Aplicado directamente sobre la piel, produce eritema local simple seguido de dermitis e
hinchazn; pronto aparece una erupcin semejante a un rash escarlatiniforme o
puramente miliar.
Caractersticas
CONSTITUCIN Y TIPO: AMM. CARB. desarrolla su accin sobre todo en individuos

FCILMENTE, y que desean tener siempre a su alcance alguna sal aromtica
reconfortante. Linfticas sin reaccin y que necesitan estimulantes (sales, alcanfor,
almizcle, etc.).
GRAN DEBILIDAD GENERAL: Postracin profunda, debilidad general. Histeria en
mujeres nerviosas que llevan consigo un estimulante para el caso de sentirse desfallecer
al entrar en lugares cerrados. Esto, por s solo no es un estado histrico, pero si adquiere
proporciones exageradas sera seal de terreno histrico, y AMM. CARB. producir la
calma necesaria al activar la accin cardaca.

LACH.: En los tratados de Materia Mdica se lee: "es enemigo de LACH".
Ello significa que habiendo dado LACH. en potencia alta y habiendo dicho medicamento
realizado una accin curativa. AMM. CARB., no actuar despus de una manera eficaz,
pudiendo perturbar el caso provocando confusin o desorden en los sntomas. Pero si
LACH. ha sido dado en baja potencia o cuando el sujeto ha resultado envenenado por la
sustancia misma, AMM. CARB., en razn de la similitud de su accin, y dado en
potencia alta, se convierte en antdoto, triunfando sobre gran nmero de sntomas txicos
hallados en tal caso. Si examinamos a la gente mordida por serpiente y la comparamos
con la patogenesia de AMM. CARB. encontraremos entre ambas cosas gran similitud
(Kent).

AMMONIUM CARBONICUM (Kent)

Si ejerciramos a la manera antigua y pensramos en la naturaleza voluble del Ammonium
carb. en alguna de sus formas, slo lo podramos tener en cuenta como un agente para
aliviar desmayos y simples afecciones de viejas doncellas solteronas y a algunas otras
damas. Pero Ammonium carb. es un medicamento constitucional de accin profunda,
un antipsrico. Sus efectos producen rpidos cambios en la sangre, produce disturbios
en la economa y establece una constitucin escorbtica. Sus fluidos son todos cidos.
La saliva se torna cida y escoria los labios, y as se agrietan en los extremos y en el
medio, y se tornan descarnados, secos y costrosos. Los prpados se ulceran, se tornan
secos y se escorian por las emanaciones de fluidos oculares. La materia fecal es cida.
Los genitales femeninos se tornan descarnados y doloridos por la secrecin cida
menstrual y leucorrea, y donde aparece una lcera sobre la piel las emanaciones son
cidas y escorian las partes que la circundan. Este carcter de escoriacin pertenece a
todos aquellos fluidos exudatorios y secreciones.
Este remedio tiene hemorragias de sangre negra, fluida, que no coagula y fluye de la nariz,
del tero, de la vejiga e intestinos. La sangre es oscura, mostrando una gran
perturbacin en la circulacin. La piel posee una apariencia moteada mezclada a una
gran palidez.
Produce una violenta accin en el corazn, en el cual se oyen palpitaciones y cada

movimiento aumenta las pulsaciones. Con esto est relacionada una gran postracin.
Esto es ms bien una extraa coincidencia que los antiguos conocieran que el Amm.
carb. podra vencer las dificultades respiratorias producidas por los ataques cardacos y
que aqua ammoniae se usa todava en ciertos casos para aliviar sntomas similares. Se
usa como estimulante, pero cuando est indicada una sola dosis muy alta es suficiente.
Los antiguos lo conocan bien y lo usaban en casos leves de neumona, y tambin en

estados avanzados; es una prctica aloptica, pero que tiene una relacin con la
homeopata en algunos casos. En otro tiempo cuando curaron a un paciente aquejado de
un terrible estado de postracin con fallas en el corazn al final de una neumona, lo
establecieron como un remedio para todo uso futuro.
Ammonium carb. posee un estado anlogo a la sangre envenenada tal como encontramos en
erisipelas y en las formas ms malignas de escarlatina., con postracin, gran disnea,
parecera que el corazn estuviera en las ltimas. Con esto existe una afeccin poco
usual de ppulas en la superficie, debido a la dolencia paraltica de los vasos
sanguneos, infarto de las glndulas, obscurecimiento e hinchazn de la cara. Amm.
carb. ha sido usado alopticamente en tales estados por siglos y sus usos homeopticos
han demostrado su eficacia.
Esto pertenece a un estado de debilidad. corazn dbil, extenuado. Existe una considerable
carencia de sntomas y ninguna respuesta a los remedios. El paciente debe permanecer
en cama a causa de las palpitaciones y dificultades respiratorias con el movimiento. Es
una cuestin de debilidad pura. Un caso como este me cost cerca de un ao y medio
resolverlo. Viva una dama en esta ciudad que responda a esta sintomatologa: su
estado revesta una peculiar debilidad cardiaca con disnea y palpitaciones cuando
realizaba movimientos. He estado tratando esta enferma, pero no todo lo debido y al no
progresar conmigo, fue tratada por uno de nuestros ms prestigiados neurlogos, quien
la someti a una "cura de reposo" y prometi que en seis semanas estara perfectamente
bien. Pero al cabo de ese lapso su estado se agrav y se consult a un especialista
cardaco quien dictamin que no exista afeccin orgnica en el corazn y en
consecuencia el caso no perteneca a su especialidad. Luego fue consultado un
especialista de pulmones, quien tampoco encontr lesin en ellos y as fue examinada
por toda clase de especialistas. Todos sus rganos fueron examinados, el resultado fue
que no haba ningn problema con ellos; pero la pobre mujer no poda caminar a causa
de sus sufrimientos y palpitaciones. La dama tena un poco de sed, una tos seca que no
era importante pero en su pecho no exista ninguna afeccin, Luego de permanecer
durante cerca de tres meses en ese estado, una parte de la familia que me era adicta
prevaleci y fui consultado nuevamente. Continu estudiando el caso, que era
extremadamente vago, teniendo nada ms que aquellos sntomas, hasta que finalmente
repar en Ammonium carb. con el cual la trat durante dieciocho meses. Esta dama
trepa montaas, realiza todo lo que desea hacer y es apta para todo trabajo. Ella ha
superado su estado de postracin nerviosa, fatiga cerebral y cualquier otro sntoma bajo
los efectos de ese solo medicamento. Esto demuestra cun profundamente acta este
remedio. Una dosis generalmente acta sobre una persona durante un perodo de seis
semanas a dos meses.
Durante los perodos menstruales se produce un gran cansancio. Ataque de clera, o algo
similar se produce el primer da de la menstruacin; diarrea copiosa. Algunas veces es
una extenuacin con vmitos, como en Veratrum, con resfros, tristeza, depresin,
disnea. La clase de disnea la cual estuve considerando hasta ahora, no es la afeccin
asmtica; sta es una disnea cardiaca, debida a la debilidad del corazn; pero este
remedio tiene tambin el asma, y en este asma existe esta peculiaridad: si la habitacin
est calefaccionada la disnea aumenta hasta que la sofocacin parece inminente; como
si la persona fuera a morirse por querer respirar. El paciente se siente impulsado a salir
al aire fresco, para aliviarse. Mientras que en las habitaciones clidas aumenta la disnea
asmtica. las molestias del cuerpo y los dolores de cabeza son peores al fro. Con este
remedio es comn que los huesos duelan como si se fueran a quebrar. Aparecen
violentos dolores de dientes por el cambio de tiempo o por variaciones de la
temperatura en la boca. Dolores de mandbulas o de las races de los dientes. Una
caracterstica notable es la cada del cabello, las uas de las manos se tornan
amarillentas, las encas se inflaman y sangran, los dientes se aflojan, como en una
constitucin escorbtica.
Este remedio tiene histeria, y no constituye una sorpresa que mujeres nerviosas lleven una
botellita de amonaco colgando de sus cadenas. Muchas mujeres lo hacen porque tan
pronto entran a un lugar cerrado se desmayan y deben usarlo. Esta afeccin en la mujer,
es muy benigna, no es histrica; pertenece a la naturaleza sensible de las mujeres; pero
si es llevado a un estado ms avanzado entonces si es histerismo. El desmayo histrico
ser evitado con Amm. carb. que estimular la accin del corazn y lo reanima.
Este remedio est lleno de depresin de nimo. La paciente llora mucho, tiene desmayos,
ansiedad, dificultad y extenuacin por movimiento. Hipersensitiva acerca de lo que
escucha de otros, siente molestias al or hablar. Sus padecimientos son mentales y
fsicos, empeoran con clima hmedo, crudo, fro. Con tiempo crudo aparecen dolencias
de gota, problemas nerviosos, postracin, problemas cardacos, disnea, dolores de
cabeza, etc. Se produce un dolor de cabeza congestivo cuando el clima es hmedo y
cambiante. Sensacin de transpiracin a travs de la frente y los ojos. "Pulsaciones,
percusiones como si fuera a estallar la cabeza, peor al caminar, especialmente los que
aparecen durante el perodo menstrual y durante la maana. Esta medicina en tales
dolores de cabeza, con los sntomas que he descrito, muestra su relacin antidotal con
Lachesis, que produce todos estos estados de postracin. En los antiguos libros de texto
usted leer esta expresin: "Enemigo de Lachesis". Esto significa que cuando Lachesis
ha sido suministrado en potencia alta y ha curado, Ammonium carb. no parece tener
efecto despus de l, y es capaz de perturbar el caso, confundindolo y mezclando los
sntomas. Pero cuando Lach. ha sido suministrado en potencia muy baja, y el paciente
ha sido envenenado con la medicina, este remedio se torna en un antdoto, usado en alta
potencia debido a la similitud de su accin. Cura muchos de los sntomas de
envenenamiento. Si examinamos la apariencia de gente que ha sido mordida por
vboras y luego examinamos la patognesis de este remedio encontraremos una gran
similitud entre ellos. Es bien conocido que este remedio ha sido usado en mordeduras
de vboras. Evidentemente el medicamento no salva a todos, pero ha conseguido algo
en estos casos, de lo contrario no habra alcanzado semejante reputacin. No debe
administrarse como un antdoto per se, pero si cuando existe envenenamiento de la
sangre y mordedura de animales con cimosis, con tendencia a sangrar lquido negro,
como en Elaps. Considerando los venenos de vboras hay una tendencia a hemorragias
de sangre negra, incoagulable.
Tiene muchos sntomas de los ojos. Chispazos por delante junto con dolores de cabeza;
visin doble; aversin a la luz. "Grandes manchas negras flotan delante de los ojos
despus de coser". Cuando estos sntomas han estado presentes en un estado
constitucional como el descrito, el remedio ha curado cataratas; y el cristalino se ha
aclarado. Ardor en los ojos; escozor; ojos inyectados.
Perturba la audicin, causando dificultad para escuchar y secrecin de fluido cido de los
odos.
Tambin tiene escorbuto, afeccin catarral de la nariz, tal como ha sido descrita. Secrecin
cida de la nariz. "Molestias muy grandes como si el cerebro estuviera empujando
arriba de la nariz". "Sangra la nariz cuando se lava la cara o las manos por la maana".
Aparecen muchas molestias cuando se toma un bao, y una caracterstica prominente es
que la piel se cubre con manchas moteadas encarnadas despus del bao. El bao
produce agitacin en todo el cuerpo, y la nariz sangra. Las palpitaciones aumentan al
baarse.
En la garganta aparece una especie de escarlatina maligna: difteria y otros estados

cimticos; purprea, hinchada, ulcerada y gangrenosa, acompaados por un gran
agotamiento e hipertrofia de las tonsilas y ganglios. Los ganglios exteriores de la
garganta y cuello se hinchan y se los siente como se hubiera un bulto. En difteria
cuando tiene la nariz tapada el nio comienza a tener dificultad para respirar,
observamos una vez ms su relacin con Lachesis y otros ofidios, porque tan pronto
como el paciente consigue dormirse se despierta sofocado. En difteria, los problemas de
pecho con gran postracin, el paciente se siente peor despus del sueo.
La menstruacin se adelanta. "La sangre menstrual es de color negruzco, a menudo con

cogulos". La leucorrea es cida. "Violentos desgarramientos en el abdomen y en la
vagina". "Irritacin del cltoris". Hinchazn de los genitales. Ahora djenme decirles
algo no mencionado hasta ahora, muy importante, una sensacin de malestar en todas
las vsceras plvicas, al mismo tiempo parecera que todas las partes interiores
estuvieran desgarradas. Esta es una molestia no siempre dolorosa al tacto. Esta
sensacin de dolor se sufre especialmente durante las menstruaciones. "Menstruaciones
prematuras, abundantes, negruzcas, a menudo con cogulos, precedidas por retortijones
y clicos".
Este remedio est lleno de sntomas de catarro y tos, gran cantidad de mucosa en el pecho y
en las vas areas. Opresin de la respiracin, una disnea catarral. Est indicado
especialmente, cuando coinciden los sntomas con congestin hiposttica de los
pulmones, se llena el pecho de mucosa difcil de expeler; gran cantidad de sonidos en el
pecho y gran debilidad. Es un buen paliativo en las ltimas etapas de la tuberculosis.
Una dosis de Ammonium carb. es suficiente cuando hay un gran resfro, postracin y
debilidad en el pecho. Esta debilidad en el pecho no es muy distinta a la que es
semejante a Stannum. Difcilmente puede toser alto, y debido a su debilidad no puede
expeler el mucus, como en Ant. tart. Tos asmtica corta.
Las molestias de este remedio aparecen a las tres de la maana. La tos aparece a esa hora.
Ancianos que sufren de catarro de pecho empeoran a las tres de la maana con
palpitaciones y postracin, despertndose a esa hora con sudor fro y disnea. Casi sin
pulso; debilidad en el corazn. La cara plida y fra.
"Gran laxitud". Reaccin defectuosa en la tifoidea, difteria, escarlatina, erisipela, etc. Si se

llega a una crisis en que el paciente va a un estado de agotamiento con remedios bien
elegidos, Ud. tiene una instancia donde esta medicina compite con Arsenicum para la
postracin nerviosa. Si Ud. ve como dicen en la literatura de la vieja escuela, que el
corazn falla" y que el paciente se muere por debilidad cardiaca, si se suministra
Ammonium carb. a tiempo ste puede salvar la vida.
"Aversin a caminar al aire libre". "A los nios no les gusta lavarse". El calor de la cama
alivia las molestias reumticas. "En una habitacin clida el dolor de cabeza mejora".
"Al lavarse reaparecen los sntomas, sangra la nariz; las manos azules; venas
hinchadas". "Peor en el aire fro".
Describiremos el aspecto de la piel: "El cuerpo est rojo como si estuviera cubierto por
escarlatina". "lceras ptridas con prurito". "Escarlatina maligna con somnolencia. a
partir del sueo". "Erisipela de ancianos cuando los sntomas cerebrales se desarrollan".
Siempre que se trate de una forma grave de enfermedad y al salir a la superficies como
un carbunclo o erisipela, no se alivia el paciente, entonces hay peligro, pues muestra un
estado pernicioso que ha estado encerrado y no puede ser mantenido ms y puede
destruir al organismo. Este es uno de los remedios que se debe tomar para detener el
progreso de tales enfermedades. Cualquier medicamento, por supuesto, que
corresponda a la totalidad de los sntomas es el remedio a suministrar.

AMMONIUM CARBONICUM (Farrington)
Ammonium carbonicum tiene relacin con Arnica, Antimonium tart., con Belladonna.
Apis y Lachesis., con Arsenicum, Aurum, Carbo veg. y Curare., con Conium, Senega, Kali
bich y Calcarea ostrearum.
Sus antdotos son: Camphora, Arnica. Lachesis es su antagnico.
Estudiaremos primeramente a Ammonium carbonicum, permitindome llamar su

atencin sobre el hecho de que el carbonato de amonio pue de ser antidotizado por
Camphora y algunos de sus sntomas por Arnica.
A pesar de la semejanza aparente entre el carbonato de amoniaco y Lachesis. dichos

medicamentos tienen relacin de antagonismo.
Ammonium carbonicum debe ser estudiado en su accin sobre la sangre. Como ya he

dicho, su empleo prolongado da lugar a un estado escorbtico. Las energas vitales se
debilitan; aparecen hemorragias de sangre obscura y acuosa; los elementos del tejido
sanguneo degeneran; los msculos se ponen blandos y flccidos; los dientes se aflojan y
las encas se ulceran. Con estos sntomas escorbticos tiene lugar el desarrollo de una
fiebre hctica.
Veamos ahora las indicaciones de Amonium carbonicum en la uremia; los sntomas

que deseo mencionar son muy importantes. No solamente son caractersticos de
Ammonium carbonicum en la uremia sino en cualquiera otra enfermedad en la que este
medicamento est indicado. Los podemos encontrar en la escarlatina con descomposicin
de la sangre y tambin en las enfermedades del corazn. Estos sntomas son los siguientes:
la somnolencia o modorra, con estertores gruesos y ruidosos muy abundantes; hay color
azuloso o purpurino en los labios, por carencia de oxgeno en la sangre, teniendo la lengua
un color que tira a caf. Reconoceremos en estos sntomas un estado de envenenamiento
de la sangre por la presencia de cido carbnico. Esto puede suceder en la uremia, en el
catarro pulmonar, o en cualquiera otra enfermedad en la que la oxigenacin sea deficiente.
Sus anlogos ms prximos en estos casos son: Antimonium tartaricum, Carbo vegetalis y
Arsenicum.
Un estado semejante produce Arnica en los casos tifdicos, cuando los pacientes estn
somnolientos y pesados y se quedan dormidos al contestar las preguntas.
Con los sntomas que hemos enumerado, podremos recordar a Ammonium carbonicum
para el edema pulmonar o para el enfisema.
Ammonium carbonicum tambin puede ser empleado en el envenamiento por el humo

del carbn. Arnica tambin es empleado en estos casos, lo mismo que Bovista.
Hay otro uso que podemos hacer todava de Ammonium carbonicum y que deberemos
recordar en el comienzo de la meningitis cerebroespinal. Algunas veces, en el principio de
esta enfermedad, el paciente es abatido por la violencia del veneno, cayendo en un estado
de estupor y sin reaccin; el enfermo est fro y la superficie del cuerpo est ciantica; el
pulso es muy dbil; en estos casos precisamente Ammonium ser el medicamento que
despertar la reaccin, pudiendo entonces seleccionar algn otro medicamento que
encuadre ms con la enfermedad.
Deseo ahora hacer mencin de Ammonium carbonicum sobre el corazn.
Este medicamento es de utilidad en la dilatacin cardaca; el enfermo sufre al ascender

alguna altura, como cuando se sube una escalera o una colina; tambin sufre de modo
atroz en una habitacin caliente; con frecuencia tiene tos que va acompaada de esputo
sanguinolento; hay taquicardia con disnea y retraccin del epigastrio; tambin pueden
estar presentes los fenmenos cianoticos.
Ammonium carbonicum est indicado en la neumona cuando hay gran debilidad, con
los sntomas que revelan justamente la formacin de cogulos en el corazn.
Lo encontraremos indicado en la bronquitis crnica con atona de los tubos

bronquiales, atona que favorece el enfisema; hay abundante acumulacin de moco en los
bronquios, diliatacin de los mismos y edema pulmonar. El enfermo, en estos casos est
dbil y es lento en sus movimientos; tose constantemente, pero no expectora o si logra
hacerlo, es con gran dificultad. Puede haber sombolencia y an delirio con musitacin.
Podemos tambin hacer uso de Amonium carbonicum en la escarlatina.
Indudablemente que es un medicamento til en el tratamiento de esta enfermedad, an
siendo de tipo maligno. Encontramos que produce una erupcin semejante a la de la
escarlatina, aunque es de carcter miliar; la garganta est hinchada tanto interior como
exteriormente, con aumento de volumen de los ganglios e hinchazn azul o rojo-obscura
de las amgdalas. El cuello exteriormente se nota grueso, porque adems de la hinchazn
de los linfticos cervicales, hay inflamacin del tejido celular. La nariz con frecuencia est
obstruida, particularmente por la noche, sofocndose el nio cuando empieza a dormir;
muchas veces tiene que acostarse con la boca abierta a fin de poder respirar. El nio est
somnoliento y an puede caer en estado de estupidez; con frecuencia tambin
encontraremos la glndula partida derecha, inflamada.
Vamos a estudiar ahora a algunos de los medicamentos concordantes de Ammonium

carbonicum, en esta enfermedad. El primero de ellos es Belladonna: entre este
medicamnto y Ammonium carbonicum, la semejanza es slo aparente: los dos afectan el
lado derecho de la garganta, producen una erupcin de color rojo encendido, escarlatina y
somnolencia. Pero su distincin consiste en lo siguiente: en Ammonium carbonicum la
erupcin cutnea es miliar, en Belladonna no. La garganta, en el caso de Ammonium
carbonicum, tiene un color rojo ms obscuro que en Belladonna y la somnolencia es ms
completa. la somnolencia de Belladonna alterna ya con furor, subsaltos, delirio inquieto o
gritos durante el sueo; en Ammonium carbonicum el enfermo est en un estado de simple
somnolencia; los estremecimientos durante el sueo no son por irritacin cerebral, sino por
la detencin de la respiracin.
Hay alguna semejanza entre Ammonium carbonicum y Apis, pues ambos producen una
erupcin miliar y estn indicados en los tipos deprimentes de escarlatina con somnolencia;
sin embargo, en Apis predominan los fenmenos de hidropesa; siempre que ste sea el
medicamento, encontraremos hinchazn de la garganta y edema de la vula; en Apis
tambin encontraremos irritacion o inflamacin de las meninges, como lo revela el grito
enceflico, repentino y penetrante que da el nio. Se trata de un grito repentino y agudo y
no un simple estremecimiento. Hay rotacin de la cabeza en la almohada.
Lachesis, aunque aparentemente es semejante a Ammonium carbonicum en la

escarlatina, en realidad tiene relacin de antagonismo. Se le parece a Ammonium
carbonicum en el color azuloso de la superficie, en la somnolencia, en le aumento del
volmen del cuello y en el color rojo-obscuro o azuloso de la inflamacin de la garganta.
Lachesis, tiene casi siempre, o por lo menos con mucha con mucha frecuencia, extremada
sensibilidad de la superficie del cuerpo, de tal manera que el enfermo no puede soportar
que algo le toque el cuello; Lachesis afecta ms el lado izquierdo y Ammonium
carbonicum el derecho. La sensibilidad de Lachesis no es de la misma especie que el
adolorimiento que producen otros medicamentos, como en Apis; esta es debida a un estado
de hiperestesia de los nervios espinales que se ramifican en la regin afectada. La presin
enrgica no agrava, en cambio el tacto ligero, s.
Rhus toxicodendron es semejante a Ammonium carbonicum, pues los dos

medicamentos producen garganta obscura y los dos tienen somnolencia. Es la glndula
partida izquierda la que probablemente se afecta con ms frecuencia bajo la accin de
Rhus; en Ammonium carbonicum es la derecha; en Rhus hay ms inquietud.
Veamos ahora la accin de Ammonium carbonicum sobre las mucosas. este

medicamento es de utilidad en el catarro nasal; la nariz se obstruye por la noche; el
enfermo despierta con respiracin difcil; empeora entre tres y cuatro de la maana; la tos
es seca, de cosquilleo, acompaada de ronquera y de notable opresin de pecho por el
moco. Las ventanas de la nariz estn doloridas y an excoriadas; en ocasiones, hay un
flujo de moco de color azuloso en los nios. Este sntoma lo encontramos tambin en Kali
bichronicum, Natrum arsenicosum, Arundo maurit. y Ambra grisea. en ocasiones el coriza
es excoriante, desolla el labio superior, y produce ardor en la garganta y a lo largo de la
trquea. hay sensacin como de una bola en la garganta; por la noche se presenta la tos
seca, que parece amenazar sofocacin; la salivacin es abundante, consecutiva a la
expectoracin; hay batimentos como de un pulso en el pecho. Ammonium carbonicum se
adapta sobre todo a los catarros de invierno; el esputo es baboso y contiene estras de
sangre.
El relativo ms cercano a Ammonium carbonicum, ser estudiado a continuacin, es

Ammonium muriaticum, que tiene una accin semejante en los catarros. Diferencialmente,
el carbonato cura los catarros que se agravan en invierno, la nariz est obstruida, empeoran
los sntomas por la noche, el enfermo despierta con respiracin difcil y generalmente se
agrava entre tres y cuatro de la maana. La tos es seca, de cosquilleo; hay ronquera y el
pecho se siente comprimido por el moco. El cloruro mejora la obstruccin nasal cuando
sta afecta una sola ventana; por la noche se obstruyen las dos, la secrecin nasal las irrita
y las desolla, el moco es de color azuloso, excoriante, produciendo intenso ardor en la
garganta.
Por su agravacin a las tres de la maana, Ammonium carbonicum puede compararse

con las sales de potasio.
En el catarro con la nariz obstruida, descarga excoriante y ardor que desciende por el
esternn, hay algunos medicamentos que deseara comparar aqu. Entre ellos tenemos a
Ammonium causticum que es uno de los mejores medicamentos de la
Materia Mdica en la afona, con ardor e irritacin en la garganta.
Causticum y Carbo vegetalis son muy semejantes a Ammonium carbonicum en la

sensacin de aspereza y ardor que se experimenta detrs del esternn.
Laurocerasus produce expectoracin que contiene pequeas manchas de sangre.

Ammonium carbonicum ha sido empleado en las entorsis, cuando la articulacin interesada
est caliente y dolorida, siguiendo bien despus del empleo de Arnica. Podemos tambin
aqu compararlo con Sulphuricum acidum y Ammonium muriaticum.

AMYLENUM NITROSUM (Nash)
Tiene la reputacin bien merecida de detener los ataques epilpticos y de revivir a los
pacientes que han sido abatidos por los anestsicos. En estos casos se lo administra por
olfacin. Existen diversas teoras acerca de su modo de accin en aquellas circunstancias,
pero lo ms importante, despus de todo, es que efectivamente acta.
Sabemos que causa y cura un estado de actividad tumultuosa del corazn que es muy
similar en apariencia a la que se observa en Glonoinum.
He curado un caso crnico, muy difcil, de rubor, en el que se produca aflujo de

sangre a la cara por la ms ligera excitacin mental o fsica. Se trataba de una mujer joven,
casada, nada prxima al climaterio y que sufra muchsimo a causa de ese trastorno desde
haca largo tiempo. La curacin fue permanente, por lo cual la enferma est muy agradecida,
puesto que, segn deca, haba llegado a suponer que era algo natural en ella y que la
medicina no podra corregir. Los que no pueden ruborizarse no tienen necesidad de este
remedio. Esta es toda la experiencia que poseo del presente medicamento, al que siempre he
utilizado en la potencia 30.
AMYLENUM NITROSUM (Clarke)
Nitrito de amilo. Nitrite of Amyl. C5 H11 NO2. Dilucin con alcohol.
Clnica.- Abochornarse. Angina pectoris. Bochornos. Bochornos climatricos. Cefalea.

Corazn afecciones. Corea. Epilepsia. Exoftalmus. Histeria. Insolacin. Mareo.
Caractersticas.- El Nitrito de amilo fue introducido en la medicina por la vieja escuela

como un medicamento para la angina del pecho, y se supona que actuaba por disminuir
la tensin arterial. El Dr. G. W. Balfour ha demostrado sin embargo que esto no es
siempre el caso, desde que muestras que se han guardado por un tiempo en botellas
imperfectamente cerradas, mantienen su poder para relajar la tensin, pero ninguno
sobre el dolor. Experimentaciones homeopticas han mostrado que en algunos casos
que en cualquier cantidad el Amyl. nit. tiene acciones especficas. La accin ms intensa
del medicamento, causa el bochorno facial profundo y los latidos en todo el cuerpo. Los
sntomas especficos en el corazn son: Sensacin de hinchado en el frente del pecho,
como convexo, con una sensacin como si la extremidad inferior del esternn hiciera
una depresin profunda, doblndolo hacia atrs a la columna. Ansiedad precordial.
Latidos intensos, acelerados, en el corazn. Accin opresiva y tumultuosa. Constriccin
(mejorada por Cactus) y dolor adolorido. Pulso lleno, fuerte. Otros sntomas
prominentes son: Ansiedad como si algo pudiera pasar; debe tener aire fresco. Latidos
en la cabeza. Sensacin de explosin en los odos. Chasquea los labios como en el acto
de saborear. Movimientos de mascar en maxilar inferior. Constriccin de la garganta y
corazn; por su temor corre a la ventana por aire fresco. Intensa llenura en la cabeza;
sensacin de agolpamiento en el vrtex. Ojos protruden, fijos. Bocio exoftlmico por
susto. Sonrojo de la cara. Sonrojo a la menor emocin. Nash ha curado con l
"enrojecimientos crnicos por la menor excitacin mental o fsica." Calor,
enrojecimiento, turgencia. Sensacin de ahogo, cuello lo siente apretado. Temblor y
debilidad de extremidades. > con ejercicio al aire libre; agua fra y aire fro. < en cuarto
caluroso.
Relaciones.- Comparar: Glon., Aco., Ether, Cact., Nit. dul. spir., Laches., Coca (bochorno

a alguien que le ayude a estirarse.
Bostezos profundos y repetidos (Kali c.).
Convulsiones puerperales inmediatamente despus del parto.
Relaciones
- Es semejante a Bell., Cac., Coca, Fer., Glon., Lach.
Agravacion

La droga en bruto obra como paliativo; es preciso repetirla conforme el paciente se va
acostumbrando a ella; es curativa usada en las ms altas potencias.
La curacin depende de la fuerza de la potencia ms frecuentemente de lo que se imaginan
muchos que no lo han sometido a la prueba curativa.

[a4].
- When sphygmographic tracings were made, it was found that in the very first stage of its
action, the up stroke produced by the contracting ventricle was almost imperceptible, giving
unpleasant visions of approaching syncope.
- This feature was apparently due to the excessive rapidity of the heart's action, and was
succeeded, in a very few beats, by a sudden and jerking impulse, which gave no positive
indication of anything more than an exaggeration of normal conditions, [a4].

tight that it is difficult to guide it (it is now over fifteen minutes, and the effect is still very
strong), [a9].

Amylenum nitrosum (Hering)
Nitrite of Amyl. C10H11O, NO3.

Discovered by Ballard in 1884, proposed as a medicine by Guthrie in 1859, introduced into
the Materia Medica of Old School in 1866.
Introduced into our School in 1871.
Proved by T. F. Allen and published in his Encyclopedia in 1874.
Again proved by the Boston School and published by C. Wesselhoeft in 1876, a first-rate
proving, which could not be dispensed with.
There are very few cures on record, mostly palliations of incurable cases; but it is of the
utmost importance as regards euthanasia.
Before going to press we received an excellent collection, through J. H. McClelland, by S.
B. Chanter.

AMMONIUM MURIATICUM (Nash)
He aqu un sntoma de este remedio que ha demostrado ser una valiosa nota
dominante para su prescripcin: "Sensacin de fro en la espalda, entre los hombros". Se lo
encuentra por lo general asociado a trastornos del pecho, tales como la tos o los dolores
torcicos no acompaados de tos; he podido comprobar que se trata de un sntoma dominante
(Keynote) tan digno de confianza como lo es el ardor entre los hombros de Lycopodium o
Phosphorus.
Tambin es un remedio de la constipacin, en cuyo caso las heces son duras, secas,
desmenuzadas y muy difciles de expulsar. Algunas veces la deposicin est cubierta de
mucosidades, algo parecido a lo que sucede con Causticum, que tiene heces recubiertas de
mucus y que brillan como si estuvieran engrasadas. Existe tambin otra semejanza entre
estos dos remedios en lo relativo a los msculos y ligamentos. Ammonium muriaticum tiene
en ellos dolor acompaado de la sensacin de que los msculos estuvieran contrados o
fueran demasiado cortos, mientras que Causticum va un paso ms all y existe una
contraccin real de esas partes, produciendo la afeccin que se conoce con el nombre de
artritis deformante. (Cimex, Natrum muriaticum.)
Hay dos remedios que tienen menstruacin o prdida de sangre procedente del tero,
durante la noche, y ellos son Ammonium muriaticum y Bovista; los dems sntomas, por
supuesto, decidirn la eleccin entre ellos. (En Kreosotum la menstruacin fluye solamente
cuando la paciente est acostada y cesa cuando se halla sentada o caminando; en Lilium
tigrinum, fluye nicamente mientras camina y cesa cuando la enferma deja de hacerlo; en
Magnesia carbnica fluye solamente durante la noche o mientras est acostada y se detiene
cuando camina.)
Este remedio es tambin til algunas veces para la citica y en este caso
encontraremos la sensacin de contraccin de los tendones. El paciente est peor mientras se
halla sentado, algo mejor durante la marcha y enteramente bien cuando est acostado.
Tiene asimismo dolor en los talones, como si estuvieran ulcerados. Para los dolores
en los talones vase tambin Phytolacca, Cyclamen, Manganum, Ledum y Causticum. Una
vez cur un caso muy serio e inveterado con Valeriana.
AMMONIUM MURIATICUM (Lathoud)
Ammonium Muriaticum, o Salmonaco, o Clorhidrato de Amonaco, se presenta bajo la

forma de cristales cbicos u octadricos, incoloros e inodoros, y de sabor picante, agrio,
salado.
Las tres primeras dinamizaciones se preparan por trituracin y las ms elevadas se obtienen
por diluciones hahnemannianas sucesivas.
Accin general
Acta violentamente sobre LAS MUCOSAS, LAS QUE IRRITA Y AUMENTA SU
SECRECIN, esto acompaado de frilosidad, laxitud, postracin. Provoca SNTOMAS
PARTICULARES EN EL TEJIDO PERIARTICULAR. Igual que AMM. CARB., acta
sobre la sangre disminuyendo su coagulabilidad. No escapa a su accin el SISTEMA
NERVIOSO, especialmente la mdula, a la que irrita.
Tiene cierta PERIODICIDAD; provoca una fiebre intermitente que reaparece cada siete das.
Caractersticas
CONSTITUCIN Y TIPO: Como AMM. CARB., acta sobre los adiposos, indolentes, de
temperamento linftico, muy sensibles a las impresiones exteriores.
Modalidades
A) Agravacin

Cabeza y cara
Sensacin de plenitud en la cabeza, que empeora por la maana; muchos sntomas se

acompaan de palidez facial. Neuralgia facial inflamatoria; sensacin muy dolorosa de
desgarramiento en los huesos de la cara.
Aparato digestivo
Todos los cloruros alcalinos aumentan la secrecin de las mucosas del tracto digestivo;
pueden provocar un verdadero "CATARRO" de estas mucosas. Tal lo que ocurre con
AMM. MUR., frecuentemente empleado contra el CATARRO INTESTINAL (Hughes).
Acumulacin de una espesa capa de tejido adiposo alrededor de la pared abdominal. Por lo
general el tipo de este remedio tiene MUCHO VIENTRE, PESADO Y RELAJADO, Y
EXTREMIDADES INFERIORES DELGADAS. ABDOMEN FLATULENTO Y
DISTENDIDO por mucho gas; puede haber dolores picantes, ardientes, desgarrantes,
punzadas y un dolor particular en las INGLES. CONGESTIN HEPTICA, con
posibilidad de punzadas. EXCORIACIONES con sensacin de QUEMAZN EN ANO
Y RECTO, durante y largo rato despus de evacuar. Puede haber HEMORROIDES
MUY DOLOROSAS.
Pero el sntoma ms marcado del tubo digestivo es CONSTIPACIN PERTINAZ con

DEPOSICIONES DURAS, SECAS, que SE DESMENUZAN y son difciles de expulsar.
A veces pueden aparecer cubiertas de mucosidad, como CAUST., que tiene deposiciones
parecidas y brillantes, como grasientas, ALUM., GRAPH., CASCARA, COLLINS.,
HYDRAST., NUX VOM., SEPIA, etc., todas ellas duras y cubiertas de mucosidad.
Evacuaciones duras, terrosas al salir del ano. Segn Dewey, todas las sales alcalinas tienen
esta caracterstica.

sensacin de quemadura en la laringe.
2) LARINGE Y BRONQUIOS: Ronquera y dolor ardiente en la laringe. Catarro que se

extiende de la laringe a los bronquios con picazn, desgarramiento, ardor; necesidad de
toser sin cesar, o mejor dicho de carraspear a causa de abundante moco blanco. Tos seca
a causa de un continuo picar de garganta.
3) PULMONES: Tos seca, entrecortada, que raspa, peor al acostarse, sobre el costado
derecho o de espaldas. Tos pringosa por la tarde, profusa expectoracin y grumos
mucosos.
Repentinos dolores agudos en el pecho; dolores ardientes en pequeas zonas del pecho.
Disnea.
Sensacin de fro entre los hombros (ABIES CAN., CAPS., LACHNANTES, SEPIA); este
sntoma aparece generalmente en las afecciones pectorales, lo que determina la eleccin
de este remedio y es sntoma tan esencial como lo es la sensacin de quemadura en el
mismo lugar, de LYCOP. o PHOSPH.
DOLORES EN LOS MIEMBROS CON SENSACIN DE QUE MSCULOS Y

TENDONES ESTUVIESEN RETRADOS Y FUESEN MUY CORTOS (CAUST.,
CIMEX, NATR. MUR.); CITICA con sensacin de contractura en msculos y
tendones; se siente mal estando sentado, mejora por la marcha, y se calma del todo
estando acostado.

garganta e inflamacin de la laringe. Para estas dolencias en la antigedad se usaban
trozos de sal amonaca, unos pocos cristales raspados con una navaja comn dentro de
un vaso de agua. Todo produca el mismo resultado a pesar de los sntomas. Algunos
pacientes se curaban pronto de estos malos resfros, con o sin fiebre. Este es ahora un
remedio que debe tenerse en cuenta. Sus sntomas deberan ser cuidadosamente
estudiados.
Con muchas de sus molestias existe palidez en la cara. Tormentos en los huesos de la cara.

aplicaciones no mencionadas.
AMMONIUM MURIATICUM (Farrington)
Tiene relacin con Apis, Arnica y Natrum muriticum, con Kali bich. con Sepia y
Sulphur.
Como ya he explicado a ustedes, Ammonium muriaticum se adapta a las personas
indolentes, corpulentas pero desproporcionadamente delgadas de sus miembros,
especialmente las piernas. al igual que Ammonium carbonicum, produce violenta
inflamacin de las mucosas. Tambin trastorna la circulacin sangunea, la cara se pone
roja durante una corta y animada conversacin, con especialidad puede presentarse este
fenmeno en una habitacin caliente. Hay herbor de sangre, violentos latidos arteriales,
acompaados de ansiedad y debilidad, como si estuviera paralizado. El sistema nervioso
tambin se afecta bajo la accin de Ammonium muriaticum. Produce con periodicidad
ciertos sntomas como el escalofro y la fiebre, los paroxismos se presentan cada siete das.
Hay por otra parte, muchos sntomas ms del sistema nervioso, encontrando especialmente
esta caracterstica: dolor en la cadera izquierda, con sensacin de como si los tendones
estuvieran muy cortos, esto obliga al enfermo a cojear cuando camina. Al estar sentado
experimenta una sensacin como de roedura, que parece localizarse en los huesos.
La citica es curada rpidamente por Ammonium muriaticum, cuando los sntomas la

indican. Los dolores empeoran cuando el enfermo est sentado, mejoran en parte por
caminar y totalmente por acostarse.
Ammonium muriaticum tambin es de utilidad en los dolores pungitivos y desgarrantes

producidos por la ulceracin de los talones; empeoran en la noche, en la cama y mejoran
por frotarse.
Otros medicamentos que afectan los talones, son Pulsatilla (inflamndolos)

Causticum, Manganum (no puede soportar el peso del cuerpo), Antimonium crudum,
Ledum, Graphites, Ignatia (ardor por la noche), Natrum carbonicum y Allium cepa.
Sabina se adapta de un modo especial a las mujeres pletricas, que sufren de lo que
vulgarmente llaman "inflamacin reumtica".
Manganum es un excelente medicamento en los enfermos reumticos cuando los

talones estn afectados y el enfermo no puede soportar ningn peso sobre ellos. Adems,
encontraremos que Manganum est indicado cuando los sntomas reumticos se
acompaan de manchas obscuras, casi azulosas.
Antimonium crudum, presta utilidad en el adolorimiento de los talones que empeora

por caminar en pavimento duro.
Ledum palustre, Graphites y Natrum carbonicum, producen vesculas sobre los

talones. Sepia, lceras; Allium cepa cura las lceras de los talones cuando son producidas
por el roce de los zapatos o del calcetn.
Ammonium muriaticum tiene alguna accin sobre las articulaciones; produce una
sensacin de constriccin en ellas; es uno de los medicamentos que se ha empleado en el
tratamiento de las torceduras crnicas. Tambin afecta a los tejidos fibrosos de las mismas
articulaciones; por esto es uno de nuestros remedios tiles cuando hay contraccin de los
tendones del muslo; cuando el enfermo camina, parece que stos se estiran, mejorndose
este sntoma por el moviminto continuado.Ammoium muriaticum tiene una accin ms
poderosa que Ammonium carbonicum sobre los rganos genitales femeninos. Tiene un
gran nmero de sntomas que se refieren a las regiones inguinal e hipogstrica que
sugieren el empleo de la droga en las afecciones uterinas u ovricas. Por ejemplo, la
enferma se queja de dolor tensivo en una u otra ingle; en ocasiones este sntoma es
descrito como una sensacin de como si hubiera habido ah una entorsis. Los dolores son
cortantes, punzantes o como de adolorimiento y lo que es ms caracterstico, ya
mencionado antes, la sensacin de como si se hubiera efectuado una torcedura en ese sitio,
que obliga a la paciente a caminar doblada. esta es una indicacin de Ammonium
muriaticum en el tratamiento de la desviacin uterina y tambin en las afecciones ovricas.
Encontraremos en casi todos estos casos la evacuacin caracterstica de los muriatos: se
fragmentan al pasar el ano. Tambin se produce una leucorrea que es caracterstica y que
acompaa a estos sntomas; leucorrea de color caf y con masas de color claro y
albuminosas, que sigue a cada miccin.
Ammonium muriaticum, en esta sensacin como de entorsis a nivel de la ingle en las

mujeres, es semejante a varios otros medicamentos: se parece a Arnica que produce la
misma sensacin de torcedura en la ingle; a Apis, que la tiene recorriendo el epigastrio,
con una sensacin de como si la piel estuviera apretada y demasiado restirada.
Despus tendremos que considerar la accin de Ammonium muriaticum sobre las

mucosas. Empezando por la nariz, veremos que produce coriza; la nariz est obstruda,
ms por la noche que durante el da, una sola ventana de la nariz es la que irrita la mucosa
de las fosas y el labio superior. La garganta est de tal modo inflamada, que el enfermo no
puede abrir la boca; tanto la boca como la garganta estn invadidas por flema viscosa, que
el enfermo expele con gran dificultad; hay dolor punzante en las tonsilas; esto es
caracterstico de Ammonium muriaticum; es un sntoma que puede guiarnos para su
indicacin en la amigdalitis o en la escarlatina, cuando los sntomas de las fauces son tan
intensos que casi ocasionan sofocacin completa.
Los sntomas del pecho, por ningn motivo carecen de importancia en Ammonium
muriaticum; produce tos que puede acompaar a los sntomas precedentes o que puede
presentarse sin ellos; sta es muy violenta y parece excitar las glndulas salivales, pues
todo el tiempo que dura, llena la boca de saliva; hay ronquera con ardor y desolladura en la
laringe, que necesariamente pertenece a un medicamento acre, como lo es Ammonium
muriaticum. A las afecciones del pecho, acompaa frialdad entre las dos escpulas, como
en la bronquitis y en la tuberculosis. El enfermo tambin se queja de sensacin de pesantez
en el pecho, notndose esto de igual modo en Ammonium carbonicum; va asociado de
ardor; algunas veces el enfermo nos dir que siente una bola en el pecho; el enfermo se
quejar de que le arde cierta regin del pecho, que le punza y le late con el ritmo del pulso.
Ammonium muriaticum puede ser usado en la congestin crnica del hgado. Una
depresin mental acompaa a esta afeccin y las evacuaciones estn cubiertas de moco.

The first prover was the much-slandered Nenning, whose masterly provings, comprising
448 symptoms, were published by Hartlaub in his Annalen, in 1833.
Hahnemann added his own symptoms (84) in the second edition of the Chronic Diseases,
and a valuable proving of Rummel, consisting of 23 symptoms, and condensed Nenning's

con xito en la astenopa, cuando hay escozor y ardor en los ojos, especialmente si se ha
trabajado de noche a la luz artificial; los ojos se ponen inyectados y con frecuencia hay
latidos, principalmente en las comisuras internas. Por esto es colocado entre Belladonna,
que se usa en las afecciones oculares por exceso de trabajo, cuando hay una gran
congestin, y Ruta que est indicado para la irritabilidad de todos los tejidos oculares, por
exceso de trabajo o por esforzarse en un trabajo fino.

tenido experimentaciones fraccionadas): Neuralgia peridica en el lado derecho del
occipucio, taladrantes que se extienden al odo, rbita y maxilar; vrtigo al levantarse,
especialmente en menstruaciones irregulares. Hale, que introdujo el medicamento en
homeopata, lo recomienda en congestin del cerebro y mdula espinal. Dolores
presivos, pesados en el occipucio y regin mastoidea; de los lados de la cabeza a las
sienes y ojos. Cara enrojecida obscura. Mente obtusa, sin inters al trabajo. Cefalea
biliosa peridica como la de Sang. y Act. r. Cur un caso que tena estos sntomas:
Mujer de edad media, corta, fornida, cada seis u ocho das, despertaba en la maana con
dolor violento en la regin occipital, pesadez de la cabeza, vrtigo al levantarse. Dolor
< al levantarse; se extenda a los lados de la cabeza a sienes y ojos. Nusea en la tarde y
vmito de sustancia biliosa cida. Otro caso fue de un doctor que haba sido arrojado
del carruaje y lesionado atrs de la cabeza. Pareca ms asustado que herido, en pocos
das not que al voltearse en la cama, o al pararse o en cualquier movimiento sbito, se
convulsionaba con una "sensacin salvaje" en el occipucio, latidos temblorosos del
corazn con intermisiones, y gran alarma. Am. pic. completamente lo mejor despus
de que haba tomado otras medicinas en vano- Am. pic. es intensamente amargo, y
como Pic. ac. y otros picratos tienen una fuerte accin en el hgado. - Pic. ac., como
Am. pic., tienen cefalea occipital, que proceden de la columna; y tambin dolor que va
en forma inversa. - Di gran mejora con Pic. ac. en un caso de paresia espinal en que se
quejaba de que el dolor iba de la columna a la cabeza. Pienso que el Pic. ac. es el
elemento en esta sal de amonia, que cuenta para su accin en estos casos de Hale.

ANACARDIUM (Vijnovsky)
(Anacardium orientale - Nuez de Caoba)
MENTALES
*** 1- Brusca prdida de la memoria, especialmente en viejos o despus de un surmenage

por un largo y penoso trabajo cerebral. El paciente est muy alterado y preocupado por
su falta de memoria, porque est confuso y no puede atender sus ocupaciones; todo
parece ser un sueo o algo irreal (Med.). "Se olvida de todo, y al tomar conciencia de
eso, pierde el apetito" (Guernsey) Olvidadizo, especialmente de maana. Escasa
memoria para los nombres propios, para las palabras y para lo que acaba de leer o
pensar; no retiene nada; mejor a la tarde.
*** 2- Siente como si tuviera una doble personalidad, como si en su mente actuaran dos
voluntades contradictorias y opuestas entre s: una que le ordena hacer lo que la otra le
prohbe, una que le aconseja el bien y la otra el mal, o en un odo o sobre un hombro un
diablo y en el otro un ngel que lo aconsejan. Tiene ilusiones ntimamente relacionadas
con esta sensacin: que est bajo un control superhumano, que su mente y su cuerpo
estn separados, que alguien est detrs de l o a su lado, que est posedo, que su esposo
no es su esposo y que sus hijos no son sus hijos. Esta situacin da origen a dos aspectos
caractersticos de su personalidad: su absoluta falta de confianza en s mismo (que le
hace pensar que no hace nada bien y que no puede tener xito en nada, porque todo lo
hace mal) y su indecisin. No tiene voluntad propia. Teme al futuro.
*** 3- Tiene una imperiosa necesidad de maldecir, blasfemar, con lenguaje violento y
grosero; jura, insulta (no castigar a un nio que insulta o jura o dice muchas malas
palabras: darle Anacardium).
*** 4- Es cruel, perverso, daino, odia a veces con escaso o ningn motivo; es vengativo,
rencoroso. spero, malhumorado, violento, a veces con deseos de matar; no tolera la
contradiccin, toma todo a mal, pero tiene tendencia a contradecir. Tiene una total falta
de sentido moral; se re de cosas serias y est serio frente a cosas alegres. Impulsos
contradictorios: es muy desagradable con las personas que quiere y respeta, an dndose
cuenta de su actitud, y no puede evitarlo.
*** 5- Todo su estado mental y su mal carcter presentan una constante mejora mientras
come, pero todo vuelve dos o ms horas despus (ver 13).
** 6- Es desconfiado (no confa ni en l ni en los dems), tiene ideas fijas o ilusiones de que
est rodeado de enemigos, o est ansioso cuando est caminando, como si alguien lo
persiguiera; tiene miedo de que haya alguien detrs de l o piensa que hay formas
extraas a cada lado.
** 7- Intelectualmente, hay confusin, embotamiento y le cuesta concentrarse, peor de

maana o al despertar; efectos de agotamiento mental; est como en un sueo, ausente,
todo parece irreal; a veces no reconoce a los que lo rodean ni a sus parientes ms
allegados. No contesta o lo hace muy lentamente, tiene que pensar mucho antes de
contestar. Es uno de los buenos medicamentos antes de un examen. Imbecilidad; Idiocia.
** 8- Otras ilusiones y alucinaciones: que ve diablos; que l es un diablo; siente que un

diablo le est silbando blasfemias en un odo; como si hubiera cometido un crimen o
como si l estuviera muerto; que alguien lo llama; oye voces; oye a personas ya
fallecidas; cree estar separado del mundo; dice que en el espejo ve a los otros pero no a
l mismo; siente olor a madera quemada, a excrementos de palomas o de pollos.
Demencia senil.

en forma incoherente, sin sentido. Obstinado. Peleador.
Wheeler seala, refirindose a la mentalidad de Anacardium, que esta sustancia acta: 1)

eliminando las inhibiciones (ver 3); 2) descendiendo el umbral entre lo consciente y lo
inconsciente (ver 2), y 3) disminuyendo lo moral (ver 4).
GENERALES
*** 13- Mejor comiendo. Los sntomas, tanto psquicos, como gstricos, cutneos, etc.,
desaparecen o mejoran mientras come, pero reaparecen aproximadamente 2 horas
despus (ver 5). Peor despus de comer.

plenitud y distensin. Nux Vmica est peor las dos o tres horas que siguen a la comida y
mejor cuando la digestin gstrica ha terminado, en Anacardium es exactamente lo
contrario: los dolores recin aparecen al terminar la digestin gstrica, cuando el
estmago se vaca, y duran hasta la prxima comida. Nash piensa que hay tantos casos
de disppticos Anacardium como de Nux Vmica, y usa la potencia 200a. como la ms
eficaz. Nuseas y vaco gstrico a la maana. El estmago duele cuando est vaco;
gastralgia presiva despus de comer; punzante al respirar. Traga muy apurado las

Anacardium orientale es un remedio muy valioso, pero que no goza, yo creo, de una
estimacin general en nuestra escuela. Tendra que ser utilizado a menudo para esa
multiforme dolencia llamada dispepsia, para la cual es empleada Nux vmica con tan escaso
discernimiento. Los dos son excelentes remedios y slo es necesario conocer sus diferencias
para que la eleccin entre ellos se vuelva fcil. Anacardium tiene un dolor gstrico que
sobreviene solamente cuando el estmago est vaco y que es aliviado comiendo, en tanto
que Nux vmica se alivia despus que el proceso de la digestin ha terminado. El dolor de
Nux vmica se agrava dos o tres horas despus de las comidas, pero persiste slo hasta que
concluye la digestin, instante en que se produce alivio, mientras que en Anacardium ste es
el momento en que el dolor es ms intenso. He curado con Anacardium muchos casos
(algunos de ellos muy inveterados) que presentaban ese cuadro y encuentro casi tantos de
ellos como de Nux vmica. He hallado que aqu la 200 posee mayor eficacia que las
potencias ms bajas. La potencia en ste como en todos los casos y para todos los remedios,
tiene que ver con la curacin mucho ms que lo que algunos imaginan.
Un caso. En el otoo de 1889 fui llamado para atender a una mujer de 35 aos de
edad, casada y madre de tres nios.
Estaba sumamente emaciada, con un aspecto caquctico y color amarillento de la

cara. Un par de aos antes la haba tratado en ocasin de una crisis de vmitos en los que
aparecan materias como poso de caf. En ese momento mejor con una dosis de Arsenicum
album 40 M, pero sigui padeciendo trastornos digestivos de mayor o menor grado hasta la
actualidad. Este ltimo episodio era ms persistente y no haba cedido a Arsenicum ni a
algunos otros remedios.
Al cabo de poco tiempo se hizo manifiesto que el dolor (que era muy intenso) y los
vmitos sobrevenan cuando el estmago estaba vaco. La enferma se vea obligada a comer
una o dos veces durante la noche para aliviarse. El material vomitado era siempre negro o
marrn con el aspecto de poso de caf. Su hermana haba sido operada de cncer de un seno
y naturalmente ella estaba muy ansiosa, pues tema un cncer del estmago. Anacardium la
mejor rpidamente y desde entonces no ha tenido ninguna recidiva de su afeccin. Queda
por ver si la curacin es completa, pero el beneficio producido por este remedio fue
incuestionable.
-Los dos remedios que estamos comparando tienen frecuentes deseos ineficaces de de
poner, pero en Nux vmica se producen como resultado de una actividad peristltica
irregular, como fue sealado por Carrol Dunham, mientras que Anacardium presenta una
insuficiencia o inactividad del recto que no existe en Nux vmica. En otras palabras, Nux
vmica tiene deseos pero con una actividad irregular o exagerada, al paso que en
Anacardium hay deseos pero sin suficiente actividad expulsiva como para satisfacerlos. Por
otra parte, en Anacardium existe una sensacin de cuerpo extrao o de tapn en el ano que
tendra que ser expulsado, fenmeno que no aparece en Nux vmica.
-Anacardium es tambin uno de nuestros principales remedios para la prdida de la

memoria, especialmente en los viejos con vitalidad agotada. Si los sntomas caractersticos
del estmago y del recto estuvieran presentes o se los hubiera padecido en aos anteriores
como concomitantes o como causa excitante del trastorno mental, la indicacin estara, por
supuesto, reforzada.
Muchos son los remedios que poseen entre sus sntomas principales la prdida de la
memoria, pero ninguno la tiene en forma ms marcada que ste. Se entiende que debe
tomarse en consideracin la totalidad del caso.
Este remedio presenta otros dos sntomas mentales peculiares. El primero: "Deseo
irresistible de maldecir y jurar." Este sntoma, por ridculo que pueda parecer, no lo es ms
que ese otro sntoma que hallamos en Stramonium y con frecuencia verificado: "el enfermo
quiere rezar continuamente". Algunas de las curaciones ms notables y convincentes han
sido efectuadas en base precisamente a sntomas de ese estilo. El otro sntoma consiste en
que "el enfermo siente como que tiene dos voluntades" y que cada una le ordena o lo incita a
hacer cosas opuestas o bien que una de ellas le ordena hacer una cosa y la otra le ordena no
hacerla. Sntomas de este orden se encuentran a menudo en la insania y representan valiosos
guas hacia el remedio curativo. Vase el caso que relat en Platina.
-Pero Anacardium tiene adems otros dos sntomas peculiares. Uno de ellos es la
sensacin de un aro que rodea alguna parte del cuerpo y el otro la sensacin de un tapn en
regiones internas, que pueden ser el interior de la cabeza, el pecho, el abdomen o el ano. La
sensacin de un aro alrededor de diversas partes puede encontrarse en ciertos trastornos
medulares para los cuales Anacardium ser el remedio. Otros medicamentos tienen una
sensacin general caracterstica, como Anacardium tiene la de un tapn; as, por ejemplo, la
sensacin de plenitud, como si estuviera lleno de sangre de Aesculus hipocastanum y la
sensacin de constriccin de Cactus grandiflorus.
Se dice tambin de Anacardium que es un buen antdoto de la intoxicacin por Rhus

tox., pero yo nunca lo he utilizado en ese caso.
ANACARDIUM ORIENTALE (Lathoud)
Anacardium orintale o anacardium de oriente, rbol de la familia de las Terebintceas, crece

en los bosques de la India.
Es preciso distinguirlo del anacardium occidental que crece en Amrica y da un fruto
llamado nuez de acayoiba, de anacardo o de caoba. El fruto del anacardium orintale
tiene forma de corazn y se llama "Haba de Malaca".
La tintura madre, de la cual se preparan todas las dinamizaciones homeopticas del remedio,
se hace con esta haba de Malaca triturada y macerada en alcohol. Las tres primeras
dinamizaciones se pueden obtener tambin partiendo de una trituracin del haba de
Malaca previamente pulverizada.
Es un DEPRESOR DEL SISTEMA NERVIOSO, en el que produce sntomas de gran debilita

miento y postracin general muy marcada, con obnubilacin de la voluntad y prdida de
memoria.
El tubo DIGESTIVO, particularmente EL ESTOMAGO, es otro punto elegido por la

actuacin del remedio; el lugar que ocupa este medicamento en la Materia Mdica est
avalado por los sntomas nerviosos y estomacales.
Por ltimo acta SOBRE LA PIEL produciendo erupcin eritematosa, luego papulosa,
vesiculosa, y finalmente pustulosa; es una verdadera dermatosis con sensacin de
quemadura, prurito, enrojecimiento o hinchazn; despus de varias horas las pstulas se
transforman en ampollas que finalmente revientan dejando salir un lquido purulento,
quedando la piel en carne viva, ulcerada, y durando la supuracin largo tiempo; no
obstante, protegiendo cuidadosamente la ulceracin, puede cicatrizar al cabo de diez
das.

ANACARDIUM ORIENTALE (Kent)
Este remedio est lleno de extraas nociones e ideas. La mente comienza a debilitarse, si es
que no hay completa imbecilidad; parecera que se estuviera en un sueo; todo
alrededor es extrao; lento de comprender. Marcada irritabilidad; perturbado por todo;
blasfema. Memoria dbil. Olvidndose de las cosas hechas un momento antes. Todos
sus sentidos parecen desvanecerse y anda a tientas como en un sueo. Estados de nimo
variables, con actividad cerebral disminuida. El paciente est en un estado de
controversia consigo mismo. La irresolucin marca su carcter, vacila y a menudo no
hace nada. No puede decidir, especialmente en una accin buena o mala. Escucha voces
mandndole hacer cosas contradictorias, parecera estar entre un deseo de bueno o
malo. Se siente empujado a cometer actos de violencia e injusticia, pero se lo impide un
poder de buena voluntad. As es, que hay una contradiccin entre dos impulsos. Cuando
esto lo analiza alguien que conoce algo de la naturaleza del hombre observar que el
paciente es perturbado en su poder externo, pero su voluntad interna no puede ser
afectada por la medicina, en la cual est su conciencia, la restringe y la controla de
llevar a cabo sus actos. Esto ser eficaz solamente en un hombre bueno, que tiene una
controversia por el estado patolgico en que ha cado, pero un hombre perverso no est
restringido y no tendr este sntoma.
Alucinaciones; se imagina que tiene al lado un demonio y un angel al otro. El enfermo es

maligno y tiene un deseo irresistible de blasfemar y jurar. Re cuando debera estar
serio, pues con sus facultades interiores pervertidas se producen las malas acciones
externas. Contradiccin entre su voluntad y la razn. Siente tener dos voluntades. Esto
es mejor.
El Anacardium paraliza la voluntad externa y si un hombre tiene una naturaleza maligna y

est bajo la influencia paralizante del medicamento se entregar a realizar actos de
violencia pues normalmente no obra mal por que se lo impide el contralor de su
reflexin y por el temor a la ley, pero al estar sta paralizada la voluntad externa no se
puede frenar el dao y los instintos se desatan, de su perversidad propia, y lo colocan en
una posicin de imbecilidad. He aprendido mucho de Anac. Aurum, y Argentum sobre
la extraa accin de las medicinas sobre la mente humana. Por este significado
podemos llegar a los hechos y dejar de lado muchas hiptesis.
Ideas como si nada fuera real, todo parece ser un sueo. Ideas fijas. Piensa que es un doble,
porque hay una conciencia vaga de que existe una diferencia que distingue que un
poder es el cuerpo y el otro es la mente. Anida en su pensamiento la idea de la
salvacin de su alma. Se figura que un extrao est a su lado, y lo acompaa. Este
estado mental lo conduce a la locura. Alteracin de su modo de obrar y de entender, ve
una cosa y en otro momento no la entiende. En un momento una mujer piensa que se
es su hijo y al rato que no lo es. Durante un momento parece un engao y el siguiente
es una ilusin. El engao es un estado avanzado de ilusin. En el Repertorio tenemos a
menudo los mismos remedios para ilusin y engao, sta es una cuestin de grados.
Cuando el intelecto es ligeramente afectado esto es una ilusin. El paciente ve
demonios. Al principio sabe por su inteligencia que no puede ser? pero luego quiere
que se lo saquen. En el Repertorio, engaos e ilusiones no estn dados como casos
separados.
Anac., Hyos., Stram., y Bell., son importantes por su accin sobre la perversin de la mente
humana tanto como a la inteligencia y a los afectos. Siempre que un medicamento haga
a un hombre desear hacer alguna cosa afecta a su voluntad, y cuando este afecta su
inteligencia, acta sobre el entendimiento. Los medicamentos actan sobre ambos.
Espritu decado, temor de ser perseguido, busca ladrones, espera enemigos, teme a todas
las cosas y a todo el mundo. Lleno de ansiedad interior. Sin paz. Est separado del resto
del mundo, y se desespera por realizar lo que de l es esperado que haga.
Extremadamente cobarde. Teme que pasar alguna cosa espantosa. Arisco, obstinado,
intratable. Insociable; se queja por su memoria dbil. Hechos banales lo entristecen
excesivamente. Un sntoma muy importante es que pierde los sentimientos morales. Se
siente cruel. Puede producir daos corporales sin remordimientos. Cruel, maligno,
perverso.
Malos efectos de excitacin mental. Dbil mental. Consecuencias de terror y mortificacin.

Se conforma con una mana religiosa cuando el conflicto entre una voluntad externa e
interna es sostenido. Esto es anlogo a Hyos.
Muchas molestias mejoran comiendo.
Sensacin opresiva en todo el cuerpo, en la cabeza, ojos, en el ombligo y debajo de la

columna vertebral. Los objetos aparecen muy lejanos. Las cosas tienen una apariencia
extraa, a veces misteriosa. Ilusiones de olfato, madera quemada, estircol de palomas.
Coriza seca y crnica.
En este medicamento prevalecen los sntomas mentales que se reflejan en los fsicos.
Temblores y debilidad paraltica. Ttano, epilepsia. Sensaciones como si un aro o una
banda estuvieran alrededor del cuerpo, miembros o cabeza; presionando como si fuera
un tapn.
Las erupciones son como en Rhus bajo muchos aspectos; erupciones erisipelas oscuras y de
tipos malignos. Este es un antdoto al envenenamiento de Rhus. Lleno de erupciones.
Verrugas en las palmas de las manos como en Natrum. mur. La piel arde mucho. Esto
aparece estar relacionado en sus sntomas a toda la familia de Rhus.
ANACARDIUM ORIENTALE (Farrington)

Anacardium ejerce una accin muy deprimente sobre la economa, no solo sobre la
mente sino tambin sobre el cuerpo; ocasiona debilitamiento de la memoria; nos
encontramos con frecuencia este sntoma como resultado de enfermedades agudas; por
ejemplo, un exantema agudo como la viruela. La erupcin que produce Anacardium es
semejante a la de la viruela. Teniendo en cuenta estos dos sntomas, prdida de la memoria
y erupciones que semejan a las de la viruela tendremos un excelente motivo para prescribir
este medicamento, cuando la prdida de memoria sobreviene como secuela de esta
enfermedad.
Anacardium puede tambin ser de utilidad, cuando la prdida de la memoria

sobreviene en las personas de edad o se presenta como resultado del reblandecimiento
cerebral.
Adems de esta accin sobre la inteligencia nos encontramos que la esfera emotiva
est muy desordenada. El enfermo de Anacardium imagina escuchar voces lejanas que le
llaman.
Acontece en esto algo parecido a lo que sucede en Stramonium. Hay una sensacin de
como si tuviera dos voluntades, una que le ordena actuar y la otra que le prohibe. Este no
es un sntoma raro en la fiebre tifoidea, en la que, las plantas que envenenan la sangre,
como las que estamos estudiando, pueden ser considerablemente tiles. Esta sensacin de
como si el enfermo tuviera dos voluntades tambin se encuentra en otros medicamentos;
por ejemplo en Lachesis, que como se recordar "el enfermo piensa que est bajo el
dominio de algn poder sobrehumano". Un sntoma semejante tambin se encuentra en
Belladonna.
Otro estado mental caracteristico de Anacardium es la propensin a blasfemar. No se

suponga que recomiendo a Anacardium para la curacin de la impiedad, cuando es el
resultado de una moral baja; de ningn modo. Sin embargo, cuando la tendencia a
blasfemar sobreviene como resultado de una enfermedad mental, Anacardium puede
prestar contigente de mucha vala. En cierta ocasin atend a un ministro inclinado
notablemente a proferir palabras impas; fracasados todos los esfuerzos, nada se poda
hacer; este desarreglo no apareci sino hasta cuando empez a tener una cefalalgia
particular caracterizada por una sensacin de como si tuviera un tapn en la cabeza.
Anacardium produjo en este caso, una curacin completa.
Otro medicamento que produce inclinacin a la blasfemia, es Nitricum acidum, pero

no lo he visto producir buenos efectos en estos casos, excepto despus del abuso del
mercurio. La enferma se imagina que est poseda del diablo. Tiene la idea fija de que su
cuerpo y espritu estn separados. Se imagina que su nio no es de ella. Quisiera llamar la
atencin sobre un sntoma del medicamento, consignado por el Dr. Talcott, de
Middletown, y es la propensin al suicidio por arma de fuego, sntoma que tambin se
encuentra en Antimonium crudum.
Nos encontramos tambin que Anacardium es un medicamento para los malos efectos
de la sobreactividad mental o, en otros trminos, para la fatiga mental. El trabajo mental
produce una cefalalgia desgarradora; los dolores se situan de preferencia en la frente y
parte superior de la cara. En otros casos, esta cefalalgia puede revestir una forma diferente
en la que el enfermo se queja de una sensacin de como si un tapn estuviera introducido
en alguna parte de la cabeza, o de una sensacin de constriccin, como si una faja
estuviera anudada en su rededor. Estas cefalalgias de Anacardium van asociadas a una gran
irritabilidad mental, que sin embargo, no es tan intensa para inducir al paciente a
blasfemar.
Anacardium tambin produce hipocondrisis; el enfermo tiene la tendencia a ser torpe

en su manera de conducirse y est muy deprimido; estos sntomas mentales, tienen con
frecuencia su orgen en los sntomas gstricos.
Los sntomas gstricos de Anacardium son los que siguen, muy caractersticos por
cierto; veremos que el enfermo constantemente tiene hambre; que se siente mejor en el
momento de comer, pero que empeora despus de haber comido; es propenso a la
constipacin y con frecuencia tiene deseo de evacuar, pero cuando intenta hacerlo, cesa el
deseo. El recto parece carecer de fuerza; el enfermo se queja de como si una masa o
substancia extraa tuviera en el recto, no siendo este sntoma el resultado mecnico de la
retencin fecal. Nuevamente se experimenta, la sensacin de como si una masa o cuerpo
extrao se opusiera al funcionamiento normal de este rgano. Estos sntomas son ms
comunes de lo que se cree; cuando los observamos, estamos habituados a pensar en Nux
vmica, Ignatia y Sulphur y generalmente nos olvidamos de Anacardium Anacardium se
parece muy especialmente a Nux vmica por la nusea de la maana. Como Nux vomica,
puede ser de utilidad en la nusea matinal del embarazo; la enferma se siente mejorada
mientras come, pero los sntomas se presentan inmediatamente despus. Tambin hay
semejanza en los sntomas mentales de los dos medicamentos. En qu se diferencan
pues? Hay una diferencia esencial en la patologa de los casos que demandan estos
remedios; en tanto que Anacardium produce necesidad de defecar, hay adems una
impotencia o una insuficiencia del recto, demostrando as un estado partico que no existe
en Nux vmica, pues este ltimo responde a una irregularidad de la accin peristltica
intestinal; de aqu que la sensacin como de un tapn en el recto, no se encuentra en Nux
vmica.
Sepia es semejante a Anacardium y produce la sensacin de como si alguna substancia

extraa se encontrar en el recto, una constante sensacin de plenitud en el recto mismo
despus de ir al excusado. Adems, hay una inactividad rectal de tal manera que una masa
fecal blanda es difcilmente expulsada. Es verdad que estos sntomas de Sepia se
relacionan casi siempre con algn padecimiento uterino, para que este remedio sea el
indicado.
No debemos olvidar la diferencia que he expresado entre Nux vmica y Anacardium;

insisto en esto, porque s que con frecuencia damos Nux vmica, cuando deberamos
prescribir Anacardium.
Un mdico francs ha recomendado Anacardium como un medicamento inestimable
en las hemorroides internas; lo administra a la 30a. dilucin varias veces al da, durante
algunas semanas. Asegura haber hecho muchas curaciones; yo no he tenido oportunidad de
confirmar su experiencia.
El Mismo mdico empleaba Lamium album para las hemorroides externas. Veamos a
continuacin la accin que Anacardium ejerce sobre la piel. Nos lo encontramos prestando
utilidad cuando la cara est hinchada, particularmente el lado izquierdo y cubierta de
pequeas vesculas de apariencia pustulosa, umbilicadas, pudiendo encontrarse en otras
partes del cuerpo. Dejan escapar una serosidad amarillenta, que se endurece al aire libre
formando costras. La comezn es extremada, tan intensa que el enfermo se ve obligado a
sangrarse la piel con las uas. Estos sntomas cutneos frecuentemente van acompaados
de algunos de los sntomas gstricos ya mencionados.
El Anacardium occidentalc o bellota de ocajou, produce ordinariamente sobre la cara

una erupcin vesicular, pero tambin sobre las dems regiones del cuerpo, dando orgen a
una comezn casi intolerable como es de imaginarse y con formacin de pstulas
umbilicadas semejantes a la viruela. Produce una erupcin erisipelatosa sobre la cara que
se propaga de izquierda a derecha. Esto es lo que se observa en su patogenesia.
Recordemos que he dicho que cuando en una patogenesia los sntomas se propagan en una
direccin, el remedio que los produce, debe curar una enfermedad cuyos sntomas van en
direccin opuesta. Por ejemplo, en la patogenesia de Rhus, la inflamacin erisipelatosa va
de derecha a izquierda, de donde se deduce que debe curar la inflamacin erisipelatosa que
va e izquierda a derecha. Como Anacardium tiene sntomas anlogos a Rhus, pero que van
en direccin opuesta, puede obrar como antdoto de Rhus.
Hablemos ahora de la accin de Anacardium orientale sobre el corazn. Anacardium

est indicado en las palpitaciones cardiacas, particularmente en los ancianos, cuando se
complican con pequeos achaques como el coriza ordinario. Esta palpitacin va
frecuentemente asociada a una disminucin de la memoria. Nos lo encontramos tambin
indicado en las afecciones reumticas del pericardio, en la pericarditis reumtica
caracterizada por algunos piquetes que atraviezan la regin cardaca. Estos piquetes son
dobles, es decir, que uno va seguido inmediatamente de otro, siguiendo despus un largo
intervalo.
Diremos ahora algunas palabras acerca de la accin de Anacardium sobre la espina

dorsal, el dorso y los miembros. Anacardium puede ser prescrito en las afecciones
medulares; los sntomas que lo indican son una sensacin de como si una ligadura se
anudara alrededor del cuerpo, como si un tapn se hundiera en la columna vertebral; de
manera que todo movimiento da orgen a un dolor, como si el tapn se hundiera de este
modo ms profundamente en el cuerpo. Las rodillas, en particular, parecen estar muy
dbiles en estas afecciones espinales; como paralizadas. El enfermo apenas puede caminar
y adems experimenta una sensacin de como si las tuviera estrechamente vendadas.
Revisando los trabajos de Boenninghausen, nos encontramos que Anacardium

orientale tiene accin sobre la articulacin de la rodilla. Veremos tambin que Pulsatilla
obra sobre esta misma regin. La hinchazn que produce Anacardium es de carcter
crnico y va acompaada de una sensacin de como si hubiera una ulceracin subcutnea.
Anacardium, debemos recordarlo, no es antdotizado por Rhus, aunque en ciertas

circunstancias antidotiza a este medicamento. Pero es antidotizado por Juglans y tambin
por el caf crgado, sin azcar ni leche.
Hemos llegado ahora a las diferentes variedades de Rhus. Rhus toxicodendron, como
ya se ha dicho, ser estudiado de un modo completo en nuestra prxima conferencia.
Quiero decir algunas palabras acerca de Rhus radicans y sobre el tratamiento antidotal del
envenenamiento por Rhus. Rhus radicans ha sido altamente recomendado para la cefalalgia
occipital comunmente asociada a una tiesura reumtica de la nuca.
Se han sugerido muchos antdotos para el envenenamiento por el Rhus. Uno de los
mejores es Croton tiglium. Este, aplicado localmente o tomado al interior, produce una
erupcin casi idntica a la de Rhus toxicodendrum. Al principio aparece un eritema con
una inflamacin notable y hundimiento de la piel a la presin. Se forman pequeas
vasculas muy confluentes y acompaadas de una comezn casi intolerable, de ardor y
piquetes. Las vesculas se llenan de una serosidad amarillenta y finalmente se rompen,
formando costras ms o menos gruesas.
Ammonium carbnicum tambin ha sido sugerido. Se la puede emplear tanto al

interior como exteriormente. Produce una erupcin muy fina, rojiza con mucho ardor y
quemazn que empeora por la noche. Los mdicos occidentales ltimamente han
empleado Grindelia robusta; aqu es poco usado.
Se debe pensar en Arsenicum, cuando la erupcin va acompaada de dolores ardientes

y quemates en la piel, con gran agitacin.
El envenenamiento crnico por el Rhus, encuentra su remedio en Graphites. Grindelia

robusta, de la que hace un momento habl con tanta brevedad, es un maravilloso
medicamento debido a su accin sobre los pneumogstricos. Parece producir una paresia
de estos nervios, de tal manera que cuando el enfermo intenta dormir, se detiene la
respiracin y de este modo despierta por la necesidad de oxgeno. Recordemos que en esto
es semejante a Lachesis y a Gelsemium.

Caractersticas.- Anacardium tiene muchos aspectos en comn con sus familiares

botnicos, las diferentes especies de Rhus, especialmente en su accin en la piel,
msculos y articulaciones, pero tambin tiene aspectos propios muy distintos. Una
sensacin muy caracterstica es un dolor presivo o penetrante como un tapn, que se
puede presentar en cualquier lugar en conexin con neuralgias, afecciones del odo,
hemorroides, etc., y donde quiera que sea, Anacardium probablemente ser el
medicamento. Sensacin de un aro o una banda alrededor del cuerpo o en cualquier
parte, es un sntoma gua. Se ha usado con xito en enfermedades de la mdula espinal
con esta sensacin y la sensacin de un tapn en la mdula, < por cualquier movimiento
que causa un dolor como si el tapn se encajara an ms. Sensacin de parlisis en las
rodillas. Sensacin como si las rodillas estuvieran vendadas. La nuez es en forma de
corazn ( de ah su nombre) y quizs esto pueda ser tomado como el "signo" de sus
propiedades que imparten coraje, impulso. Ha ganado reputacin por s mismo en
aquellos "que reprueban exmenes" y estados semejantes. Confusin mental. Prdida
de la memoria es muy marcada. Sordera con prdida de la memoria. Cefalea < por
esfuerzo mental, > comiendo. El paciente de Anacardium tiene muchas aberraciones
mentales; es clarividente, escucha voces de personas muy lejos o muertas; voces detrs
de ella. Parece tener dos voluntades. Como en un sueo. Un sntoma curioso es la gran
propensin a jurar y blasfemar, en personas no usuales a ello. Irritabilidad. Tambin hay
una tendencia al suicidio por disparo (Ant. crud. ). Ideas fijas de varias clases: que la
mente y el cuerpo estn separados; que es doble; que un demonio est en su cuello,
dicindole las cosas ms ofensivas; que ve las caras de los dems en un vidrio, excepto
la suya. Los sentidos son muy dbiles o muy agudos, y sensaciones de ilusiones: una
luz tiene un halo; ilusiones pticas en colores obscuros; ilusiones auditivas; ilusiones
del olfato; mecha quemada, excremento de paloma. Cur con l a un hombre que ola a
madera quemada en su nariz, que qued despus de una influenza. Hay cefalea que va
de adelante a atrs. Rigidez en la nuca del cuello. Cuello rgido < al empezar a
moverse. Tosferina con boqueo y somnolencia despus de la tos. Vmito en la maana
del embarazo > comiendo, pero retorna pronto despus. La indigestin de Anacardium
contrasta con la de Nux v. en una forma clara. Con Nux el dolor es peor de dos a tres
horas despus de alimentos, durante la digestin del estmago, y es > cuando termina;
mientras que con Anac. es cuando la digestin es completa, el dolor es peor y contina
hasta el alimento siguiente, que otra vez se agravar por un tiempo. E.S. Breyfogle
narra un caso que llama la atencin (un experimentador involuntario), que ilustra los
efectos del medicamento en los nervios y en la piel. De acuerdo a las indicaciones de
Bayer, "temor antes de exmenes", "agotamiento nervioso por sobre estudio",
"postracin nerviosa por emisiones seminales," o por excesos sexuales, Breyfogle ha
usado este medicamento con xito. A un paciente por nerviosidad excesiva, le dio la 1a
dilucin en tabletas. Tom dos tabletas cada cuatro horas, hasta tomar ocho. Entonces,
desarroll sbitamente un adolorimiento de la boca, membranas mucosas inflamadas,
ardorosa, muy sensibles. Aparecieron vesculas en el techo de la boca y una membrana
sucia se desprendi fcilmente. Enseguida se afectaron las encas. Boca seca, gusto
ofensivo; al mismo tiempo una erupcin papular en las muecas y tobillos, ms tarde
dentro de los brazos y piernas, pecho, cuello, espalda, especialmente en flexiones de las
rodillas y codos y peor de todo, en el ano. Prurito <, pero estaba impulsado a rascarse
todo al mismo tiempo. Agua tan caliente como la soportara > instantneamente.
Simultneamente la nerviosidad desapareci. "Desde entonces no he tenido nervios. Me
ha hecho una profunda impresin en mi sistema nervioso." Ms tarde present una
sensacin sbita de completa postracin: las rodillas se me doblaban; tena que guardar
una botella de whisky, que lo mejoraba. Ms tarde; escalofros corran por todo el
cuerpo a la menor exposicin, an poner los brazos fuera de la cama; temor de que se
estaba enfermando, durmi con botellas de agua caliente en el pecho toda la noche. As
como la erupcin en la boca desapareca, aument el flujo salival; corra de la boca a la
almohada durante el sueo. "Senta como una partcula de alimento en el esfago;
degluta constantemente para quitrmelo. "No es la misma < por el reposo y > por el
movimiento como en Rhus, pero muchos sntomas son < al comenzar a moverse (cuello
rgido). Cefalea es > acostado. Tocar el piano causa pesadez y llenura en todo el cuerpo.
Como Rhus, Anac., tiene frialdad, est expuesto a resfriarse, sensible a las corrientes, y
> por el calor. Los sntomas son < en la maana, y otra vez del anochecer a
medianoche. 4 p.m. calor diariamente. La tos de Anac. es > comiendo. Sntomas
generales > comiendo; recurren dos horas despus. Hay una intermitencia en los
sntomas de Anac. "Los ataques cesan por uno o dos das, y continan otra vez por un
par de das." Guiado por esta indicacin sola, Curtis cur con Anac. 200 un caso de
insomnio en una mujer embarazada: "Cuadros de insomnio duraban varias noches."
Anac. se adapta a las afecciones de las palmas de las manos. Hay verrugas an en las
palmas.

Anacardium orientale (Wheeler)
Anacardo de Oriente. Preparacin: capa del fruto entre la corteza y la semilla, triturada.
El anacardo es Anacardium occidentale, que crece en las Indias Occidentales, y
Anacardium orientale es el anacardo de Oriente, que crece en las Indias Orientales. Este
ltimo ha sido experimentado ms extensamente, pero los sntomas que conocemos del
primero se parecen mucho a los de Anacardium orientale, de tal modo que es posible que se
los pueda considerar como virtualmente intercambiables, si bien, desde luego, se preferira
aquel cuyos sntomas nos son conocidos. Los sntomas cutneos del anacardo son muy
destacados en los casos de envenenamiento. Los de Anacardium orientale son de carcter
similar, pero tal vez menos graves. Por consiguiente, si en un caso que sugiere Anacardium
la piel se encontrara afectada de una manera muy notable, podra ser preferible utilizar la
variedad occidental. Pero es probable que no se deba dar mucha importancia a este punto.
Efectos macroscpicos sobre el cuerpo
Anacardium virtualmente no se utiliza en la teraputica, salvo por los homepatas.
Cushney afirma que Anacardium occidentale contiene cardol, que es un poderoso vesicante
cuando se aplica localmente. Lewin seala edema, erisipela y eczema persistentes despus
de su uso externo, y un clico violento, como sntoma, cuando se emplea internamente. Las
experimentaciones, como lo veremos luego, desarrollan muchos sntomas cutneos. Clarke
habla de erisipela y edema bajo la accin de Anacardium occidentale, al igual que Lewin,
pero los registra como el resultado del envenenamiento con anacardo de un modo tal que
parece implicar que las afecciones seguiran la ingestin de la droga. Sntomas cutneos sin
duda alguna similares, aunque menos graves, han seguido el uso de Anacardium orientale,
de tal modo que las afirmaciones de Clarke estn probablemente bien fundamentadas,
aunque puede haber registrado en forma conjunta sntomas que provenan tanto del uso
externo como del interno. Es una experiencia homeoptica constante que una droga (por
ejemplo, Rhus) que produce efectos violentos por contacto tambin manifiesta poder sobre
la piel despus de su uso interno. El agente irritante contina siendo irritante despus de su
absorcin en el torrente circulatorio en grado suficiente para afectar las clulas de la piel a
continuacin de dosis repetidas (aun pequeas). En personas susceptibles (y un buen
experimentador es necesariamente alguien susceptible a la droga ensayada) mnimas
cantidades pueden provocar sntomas. La conclusin es que los sntomas cutneos
consecutivos a las aplicaciones externas pueden ser indicaciones para el uso interno de la
droga y si la administracin interna las confirma en alguna medida, el mdico puede hablar
de una manera ms segura.* La tintura de Anacardium se prepara con la capa que encierra
la semilla por debajo de la corteza exterior. La capa similar en la variedad occidental es
negra y semilquida. Es la parte utilizada en farmacia. Desde el punto de vista botnico,
Anacardium est relacionado con el gnero Rhus y su accin sobre la piel se parece a la de
este grupo. Puede actuar como antdoto de los efectos del envenenamiento por Rhus, en la
medida en que los mismos afectan la epidermis. Se encuentran otras semejanzas en las
caractersticas generales de frilosidad, sensibilidad a las corrientes de aire y alivio por el
calor.
*Desde luego, es posible que los sntomas cutneos que siguen el uso externo puedan ser
causados en algunos casos de una manera ms mecnica que qumica. Por ejemplo,
Dolichos pruriens causa una irritacin intensa, debida a los pelos microscpicos que posee
la planta, y no es evidente que el sntoma constituya una indicacin para administrar
internamente la droga. Por otra parte, los experimentadores de este medicamento revelaron
un aumento general de la sensibilidad (y otros sntomas). Por consiguiente, administrado al
interior en potencia podra reducir la hipersensibilidad y aliviar de este modo los sntomas
cutneos. En tal caso el alivio resultara indirecto.
Comparacin con Rhus Tox
Se observa una acentuada agravacin del dolor al realizar el primer movimiento de la parte
afectada, que es similar a la de Rhus. Pero mientras que en este ltimo caso la continuacin
del movimiento alivia progresivamente el dolor y el reposo lo agrava, en Anacardium a
menudo el reposo alivia el dolor y el aumento del dolor al comienzo del movimiento no se
atena por la continuacin del mismo. Tampoco revela Anacardium la afinidad de Rhus por
las articulaciones, las aponeurosis y los tejidos fibrosos en general, y tampoco son
comparables los sntomas abdominales de ambos medicamentos. Los enfermos que andan
bien con este remedio muestran a veces una intermitencia en sus sntomas. No existe una
periodicidad definida, pero despus de algunos das de padecimientos el paciente se ver
libre de stos durante un cierto tiempo, independientemente de todo tratamiento.
Sntomas intelectuales y emocionales
El gran inters y la importancia de este remedio reside en la esfera mental. Es uno de los
casos ms notables de efectos de una droga sobre la conciencia. Parece como si los
smbolos que emanan del inconsciente continuaran alcanzando la mente consciente hasta
que se establece una sensacin de doble personalidad, un sentimiento como el de dos
voluntades, que habitualmente se encuentran en pugna. A veces la divisin llega an ms
lejos y existen ideas delirantes de que la mente y el cuerpo estn separados o de que la otra
voluntad es la de un espritu maligno que lo est tentando. El individuo puede sentir como
si estuviera viviendo en un sueo, a menudo oye voces, generalmente conocidas, pero de
personas muertas o distantes. Es habitual la irritabilidad y existe una marcada tendencia a
soltar palabrotas o blasfemar, yendo incluso ms all de la moderna libertad de palabra y,
desde luego, esta circunstancia se hace mucho ms notable si el paciente no es
habitualmente adicto a un lenguaje grosero. Este cuadro se debe al levantamiento de una
inhibicin y a veces acenta la sensacin de dualidad y el paciente siente como si se viera
urgido o compelido a expresarse de esta manera. Otras pruebas de que no se trata
simplemente de una explosin de mal genio y de enojo se encuentra en el hecho de que si
bien el paciente vocifera y afirma su personalidad, en realidad su coraje no es grande. Se
acobarda con facilidad. Las blasfemias son una especie de camuflaje de un profundo
sentimiento de inferioridad. En realidad, el Anacardium dinamizado se utiliza para
restablecer el coraje, que falla anticipndose a alguna prueba muy dura. El poder de
Anacardium en este sentido le ha ganado la reputacin como remedio cuando hay temor de
una prueba difcil, como un examen, en especial oral. La memoria en los sujetos de
Anacardium es escasa, lo cual contribuye muy naturalmente al temor del fracaso y aumenta
el miedo que provoca el examen. Muchos estudiantes han encontrado que Anacardium
representa una ayuda en tales momentos difciles y que es eficaz aunque estn presentes
pocos sntomas de cualquier otro tipo. Empleado en potencia, invierte su efecto venenoso,
cerrando el camino a los pensamientos perturbadores y concentrando el poder en el
presente. Las ilusiones sensoriales no son infrecuentes, del mismo modo que el
embotamiento de los sentidos especiales, la audicin o el olfato con mayor frecuencia que
la visin.
Comentario acerca de la influencia de los remedios homeopticos sobre los sntomas
psicopticos
Este curioso estado mental encuentra paralelismos en la sintomatologa de otros
medicamentos, pero puede resultar adecuado examinar aqu el problema general de la
relacin de las drogas con la conciencia, adems del notorio poder de algunas para abolirla
en forma temporaria. Particularmente en lo relativo al aspecto emocional es probable que
haya escepticismo, por ejemplo, en cuanto a las afirmaciones de la homeopata de que el
temor, los celos, la suspicacia, el odio o el deseo de daar y otras emociones por el estilo
son caractersticas de ciertos remedios y pueden ser modificadas por el uso de los mismos.
La obra precursora de Freud, Jung, Adler y sus partidarios ha acrecentado y aclarado sin
duda alguna nuestro (an escaso) conocimiento de los modos de actividad y los
mecanismos de nuestra mente. Se acepta que la conciencia es algo muy complejo, pero
probablemente la idea de que un agente material, como una droga, pueda modificar
afecciones atribuibles a complejos, variar la interaccin entre la conciencia y lo
inconsciente y contribuir a un equilibrio armonioso entre ambos podra resultar inaceptable
para un psicoanalista. No obstante, es de conocimiento comn que las drogas pueden
producir marcados fenmenos mentales, alucinaciones, perturbaciones manacas y
perversiones morales. Adems, con demasiada frecuencia los estados postencefalticos se
acompaan de deplorables cambios de carcter. Por consiguiente, existe por lo menos un
punto de partida para el homepata y, como siempre, ste se orienta hacia el experimento
clnico. Nadie que ponga pacientemente a prueba esta cuestin puede dudar de que el
similimum elegido correctamente es tan potente en la esfera mental como en la fsica y que,
adems, la afirmacin de Hahnemann de que los sntomas mentales son los ms seguros de
todos los guas hacia una verdadera similitud est bien fundada. Pero no obstante, resulta
extrao para el principiante pensar que un temor o un sueo determinado de un paciente
pueda ser una buena gua hacia un remedio. Desde luego, la prueba final es el experimento.
Se puede confiar en que el experimento confirme las afirmaciones, pero un cierto examen
de las dificultades puede hacer ms fcil emprender el camino de la experimentacin. El
psicoanlisis encuentra la explicacin de las fobias en la represin de ciertas experiencias (a
menudo infantiles). Tales experiencias pasadas pueden volver a entrar en la conciencia en
una forma distorsionada y expresarse de una manera caracterstica en la vida diaria por
temores de tipo definido. Si as fuera, de qu manera puede tener una droga una asociacin
general con cualquiera de estos miedos? Los sueos, asimismo, pueden ser a veces
expresiones veladas de experiencias cuyo recuerdo es perturbador. Dnde se ubica una
droga en este caso? Como primer comentario, resulta obvio que ciertas drogas pueden
reducir el poder de inhibicin. En la patogenesia de los medicamentos se registra con
frecuencia una mayor o menor falta del control habitual y los perturbadores efectos
mentales (por ejemplo) de Hyoscyamus son bastante familiares; todo narctico tiende a
aflojar el control moral, tanto si se toma morfina como herona, hachs o cocana. Pero
adems del poder de reducir los niveles de inhibicin, los diferentes medicamentos tienen
en general acciones variadas sobre el cuerpo; por ejemplo, Cannabis y Hyoscyamus
estimulan los rganos y los centros sexuales. Por consiguiente, no es extrao que con los
mismos la reduccin de la inhibicin ponga de manifiesto una marcada evidencia de
estimulacin sexual en ideas, sueos, visiones, etc., de carcter ertico. Si surgiera un
estado similar en la evolucin de una enfermedad el medicamento (Cannabis o cualquier
otro) cubrira hasta ese grado los sntomas y desde el punto de vista homeoptico sera un
candidato para la eleccin como remedio.
En trminos generales, el miedo parece estar asociado con la sobreestimulacin simptica y
la hiperactividad de hormonas producidas por la secrecin suprarrenal. Una droga o una
enfermedad que desorganizan el sistema nervioso ortosimptico-parasimptico o que
sobreestimulan las glndulas suprarrenales estaran asociados con el temor y se podra
encontrar una similitud entre los sntomas de la droga y los de la enfermedad.*
Argentum nitricum es uno de los ms importantes remedios para los miedos de muchos
tipos y existen otros elementos de juicio que sugieren que puede afectar la glndula
suprarrenal. El tipo exacto de temor que predomina depender del carcter y de las
experiencias de la vida del individuo, pero una droga que pueda controlar de una manera
favorable la provisin de una hormona reducir cualquier tipo de temor. Pero la homeopata
afirma, no obstante, que encuentra buenas indicaciones en temores especficos (por
ejemplo, a enloquecer, a los truenos, cuchillos, enfermedad o muerte, oscuridad, etc.). Para
algunos de dichos temores se puede encontrar asimismo una explicacin razonable.
Cualquier persona sensible que compruebe que su control mental se va perdiendo a causa
de drogas o enfermedad, temer que su razn est en peligro, de tal modo que una droga
slo necesita producir una incapacidad para pensar con tanta claridad como antes, recordar
con precisin, comprender exactamente las relaciones externas, para causar ansiedad
mental. Hay muchos medicamentos que producen confusin cerebral en grados variados.
No obstante, el temor especfico de la locura est asociado en forma ms definida con
algunos medicamentos que con otros, lo cual puede significar tan slo que su
experimentador era sensible en ese punto particular a causa de una experiencia personal, de
tal modo que un temor que podra continuar siendo vago (aunque relacionado con el control
mental) en otros, se volvera muy definido en ese individuo. Esa precisin continuara
indicando la droga para un paciente que revelara el mismo carcter definido en su temor,
pues indicara de una manera particular alguna experiencia an loga de la vida que caus un
"trauma" similar. A menudo el temor de la muerte indica una vaga comprensin de la
gravedad del estado corporal. Pero el estado de un paciente puede ser grave y, sin embargo,
el temor no se hace presente o bien, como ocurre, por ejemplo, con el acnito, el temor
puede carecer de proporcin con el peligro. Tales variaciones dependern de diferencias
constitucionales, y en la medida en que indiquen esos estados se convierten en buenas
razones para elegir un remedio "similar". Por ejemplo, los mejores pacientes para acnito se
encuentran a menudo entre los individuos robustos que no han tenido muchas
enfermedades. Tales pacientes, abatidos en forma repentina, se alarmarn ms que sujetos
ms dbiles, que estn bastante familiarizados con dolencias menores. Los casos serios que
sin embargo carecen de temor, pueden tener inhibida la sensacin de enfermedad por una
profunda toxemia o bien con un equilibrio hormonal posiblemente mejor, pueden controlar
su ansiedad. Tambin en este caso, diferentes tipos requerirn distintos remedios. El temor a
los truenos implica una sensibilidad a las perturbaciones elctricas que conducir de una
manera infalible a algunas experiencias inquietantes durante las tormentas con truenos, pero
esta sensibilidad es tambin constitucional y representa una indicacin para el homepata.
*Ciertos fisilogos consideran que la diarrea producida por un susto se debe
probablemente a un agotamiento del simptico despus de su sobreestimulacin, lo cual
permite que el vago acte sin oposicin.
Pero an quedan los temores especiales a los cuchillos, al fuego, a los lugares cerrados o
abiertos, a las cadas y otros. Existen buenas razones para atribuir tales temores a
represiones definidas y se pueden aliviar, al menos algunas veces, mediante el anlisis que
hace recordar sus orgenes. Pero casi siempre se encuentra que las experiencias que parecen
causarlas tienen un carcter tan comn y general que ni una persona cada cien de la
poblacin puede haber escapado a ellas en el curso del crecimiento desde la infancia en
adelante. Qu nio no ha tenido experiencias con fuego y con bordes filosos que en su
momento fueron perturbadoras, pero cun pocas veces estas experiencias infantiles dejan
alguna marca? La rareza comparativa de perturbaciones graves sugiere que estas
experiencias deben haber sido olvidadas: "sepultadas sin rastros"; y que si no lo son, existe
probablemente algn defecto fsico en los mecanismos nerviosos del cuerpo. El defecto ms
probable sera un aumento de la permeabilidad del umbral de la conciencia a los mensajes
provenientes de lo inconsciente. Si as fuera, como algunas drogas producen algo
evidentemente por el estilo, su administracin debera fortalecer homeopticamente la
barrera y reducir el temor. En el terreno clnico, se ha puesto a prueba esa sugerencia y ha
demostrado ser legtima en muchos casos. Ningn homepata experimentado duda de que
se puede lograr mucho mediante remedios en el tratamiento de las fobias, los sueos
persistentes y los deseos obsesivos anormales, tan opuestos a los deseos normales, que son
resistidos pero vuelven en los sueos y durante momentos en que no se est en guardia.
Tales son, por ejemplo, las aversiones temporarias con respecto a seres amados, que pueden
incluso estar acompaadas por ideas de herirlos o matarlos. En consecuencia, si
consideramos que todos los medicamentos que actan como remedios en tales casos poseen
la facultad de tornar ms permeable el umbral de la conciencia, se podra aducir, como ya se
ha sugerido, que en las experimentaciones las fobias y cualquier otro fenmeno que
aparezca depende de las experiencias del experimentador y que al prescribir no se necesita
exigir una correspondencia estricta en su naturaleza para lograr xito. Estas consideraciones
son correctas hasta tal punto que, en todos los casos en que exista una semejanza general
entre los sntomas del medicamento y los de la enfermedad (y las fobias son tan slo uno de
ellos, si bien importante), se puede administrar con confianza el medicamento similar, aun
si el carcter de la fobia, del sueo o del deseo anormal no es idntico en el paciente y en el
experimentador. Por ejemplo, el temor de los ladrones aparece con fuerza en Arsenicum,
pero un tipo diferente de miedo no impedira prescribirlo si el resto del cuadro
correspondiera al medicamento.
Se puede ilustrar este tema con las experiencias de dos experimentadores con Jaborandi
(vase). Un experimentador registr una manifestacin nerviosa de tipo obsesivo, con una
idea fija de que matara a su familia con un hacha. Un nico registro de este tipo, si bien
aparece mientras se ensaya un medicamento al principio slo se puede atribuir de una
manera provisional al mismo. La causa podra estar en algn aspecto de la vida ajeno a la
experimentacin, de tal modo que resulta deseable una confirmacin posterior. Pero un
segundo experimentador, sin conocer la experiencia del primero y, en consecuencia, sin
estar expuesto a ninguna sugestin, se sinti atormentado de modo similar no con un deseo
de matar a su esposa sino con un terror de que se vera impelido a hacerlo contra su
voluntad. En su ..lente apareca continuamente un instrumento cortante. En ambos casos la
idea de matar a seres queridos surgi durante la experimentacin del medicamento y
desapareci al dejar de tomarlo. Resulta difcil resistirse a la conclusin de que la droga era
el agente causal de esta situacin. Las diferencias en los detalles de las obsesiones ilustran
la concepcin que hemos expuesto: que el medicamento afecta la permeabilidad del umbral
de la conciencia para los impulsos provenientes de la mente inconsciente, pero lo que
alcanza la conciencia y la forma en que la alcanza depender de la naturaleza y de las
experiencias de la vida del paciente.
Sin embargo, es necesario agregar que ciertos medicamentos se asocian con fobias
definidas y otras perturbaciones psicopticas y que en ciertas ocasiones los pacientes no
slo registran experiencias exactamente similares a las de los experimentadores sino que
comprueban que sus sntomas mentales se curan utilizando el remedio similar. Slo
podemos llegar a la conclusin provisional de que ciertos temperamentos y constituciones,
debido muy probablemente a variables equilibrios hormonales, inclinan a una parte de las
experiencias comunes de la vida a estimular la actividad del inconsciente para que produzca
en la mente consciente procesos a partir de las experiencias olvidadas de la vida y
establezca complejos, de tal modo que una tendencia a sntomas mentales de un tipo
especial se convierte en un signo de tal constitucin y, en consecuencia, en una buena gua
hacia un remedio. En tal caso, Anacardium posee un poder general para reducir la barrera
entre la mente consciente y lo inconsciente y de este modo aparece esa sensacin de
dualidad que hemos destacado anteriormente. Tambin se eliminan las inhibiciones y se
aminora la restriccin moral. Pero los temores especficos son relativamente raros, del
mismo modo que las ideas fijas y los deseos mrbidos.
Ha resultado conveniente examinar en este lugar la cuestin general de los efectos de los
medicamentos sobre los fenmenos mentales, pero otros remedios ofrecen ejemplos ms
notables de sntomas mentales precisos y detallados por ejemplo, Cannabis, Opium,
Stramonium, etctera.
Sntomas cutneos
Quedan por examinar los sntomas de Anacardium que corresponden a los tractos
alimentario y respiratorio y la piel. Ya se han mencionado los ltimos, pero aqu se pueden
describir en detalle como ardor, prurito, aumentados por el rascado, la formacin de
vesculas a veces del tamao de un guisante, con sensaciones quemantes y tendencia a la
formacin de excrecencias verrugosas.
El conducto alimenticio pone de manifiesto muchos sntomas importantes y el
medicamento resulta til en cierto nmero de casos de dispepsia crnica. La lengua est
saburral y el alimento tiene un gusto desagradable, aunque independientemente de la
comida estn presentes a menudo sensaciones olfativas y gustativas desagradables.
Habitualmente hay sed, pero los sntomas gastrointestinales se agravan por las bebidas fras
y a menudo empeoran tomando sopas. Los dolores gstricos se alivian comiendo y la
desaparicin del dolor y del malestar contina durante dos horas despus de la comida,
momento en el cual vuelve el dolor y persiste hasta que se ingiere de nuevo alimento. Por lo
general, el dolor es aliviado por los alimentos calientes y agravado por los alimentos fros.
Los intestinos pueden estar constipados, aunque a menudo se presenta una urgente
necesidad de evacuar, pero las heces, sin embargo, son expelidas con dificultad. Se describe
un dolor abdominal muy comn como una sensacin presiva, provocada por algo romo, que
tambin causa una sensacin de obstruccin o taponamiento. Estas sensaciones pueden ser
experimentadas en el epigastrio o en el recto. Los sntomas gastrointestinales originados por
la tensin y la excitacin emocional constituyen una indicacin valiosa y adems de las
modalidades locales se presenta habitualmente la tpica mentalidad de Anacardium, intensa
irritabilidad y mal carcter.
En forma no infrecuente aparecen violentos paroxismos convulsivos de tos y la sensacin
presiva obtusa se puede sentir en el pecho. La tos est relacionada con la ingestin de
alimentos, como si las conexiones del nervio neumog strico representaran un factor en la
produccin de este estado. A veces, el acto de comer inicia la tos; en ciertas ocasiones la
alivia de una manera notable pero, por lo general, es digna de mencin la existencia de una
relacin entre los sntomas gstricos y los respiratorios.
Los pacientes en general se cansan y se agotan con facilidad, y a pesar de que la excitacin
y la ansiedad pueden provocar la aparicin de sntomas, el paciente de Anacardium, en
otros aspectos, no es propenso a una perturbacin por su ambiente inmediato. (Se puede
observar que la agudeza o el embotamiento de los sentidos especiales producidos por un
medicamento se suele asociar en el enfermo con una correspondiente toma de conciencia o
insensibilidad al medio que lo rodea.) Los enfermos sienten el fro y experimentan
particular aversin hacia las corrientes de aire fro. A menudo el sueo es pesado y no
reparador, y se acompaa de sueos de fuego, peligro, enfermedad y muerte; de este modo
no se obtiene la normal recuperacin que produce el sueo.

Anacardium orientale (Hering)
Marking Nut. Anacardiaceae.

The nut of Semecarpus Anacardium; not identical with Avicennia tomentosa, as
Hahnemann erroneously stated.
It is imported from the East Indies, and if Schwabe, in his Pharmacopoeia, recommends the
soft resin of the seed for trituration, it is only to avoid too old and dry ones.
The common tincture of the whole nut was proved by Hahnemann and his original
disciples, because it had been one of the most famous medicines in the old Arabian school,
forgotten for nearly a thousand years.
The provings were arranged and published by E. Stapf, in the second volume of his
Archives, in 1823.
The next edition was made by Hahnemann, in his Chronic Diseases, in 1835, where he
condensed the 484 symptoms of the first publication, and added (without having another
prover) 158 new symptoms.

Anacardium occidentale (Hering)
Cashew Nut. Anacardiaceae.

The common cashew nut of the West Indies.
It is easily distinguished from our Anacardium which comes from the East Indies, by its
being kidney-shaped, while the Oriental nut, our well-proved medicine, is heart- shaped.
It was never proved and is only known by the frequent cases of poisoning which occur
from peeling or roasting the nut.
The kernel is edible, but it is advisable first to remove the germ between the halves.
The poisonous black juice contained between the outer and inner shell contains two
peculiar principles, Anacardic acid and Cardol.
Poisonings are frequently mistaken for Rhus poisoning.
The effects on the skin are mentioned by C. Hg. in Cl. Mller's Vierteljahrschrift in 1861,
Vol.
12, p. 276.
No cures on record excepting from Segin in Hygea.

Angustura vera (Hahnemann)
(ang.)
(Angustura or Augusturoe.)
(The best pieces of the bark of this South American tree, called Bonplandia trifoliata, are
about one line in thickness, slightly bent, on their external convex side covered with a
greyish-white, easily scraped off, fine coating; traversed by fine transverse furrows; on the
inner concave surface of a bright brownish yellow, very friable, and cinnamon coloured and
porous on the fractured surface; of a disagreeable spicy smell, and of a penetrating,
somewhat hot, spicy bitter taste, the powder of which resembles rhubarb powder in colour;
the decoction is not precipitated by a solution of sulphate of iron. Fifty grains of this
powder digested in 1000 drops alcohol without heat so as to form a tincture are employed
for medicinal after appropriate dilution).
For many years complaints have been publicly made about a substitution in commerce for
this true angustura bark of a false bark, which displays dangerous and poisonous properties,
and for many years the tree from which this false bark was derived was unknown.
Now the Brucea ferruginea is said to be the tree from which this false suspicious bark is
derived; chemical investigation has shown that it furnishes the same alkaloid as nux
vomica, ignatia, c. However, the above-described genuine angustura bark likewise
possesses uncommonly great medicinal power, so that, when it is procured direct from the
tree Bonplandia trifoliata at St. Thomas del Angustura, in South America, as it is now,
without any doubt it can, like every other very powerful medicine, do great harm if given in
immoderate does and in unsuitable cases.
In F.A.G. Emmert's Curgeschichte (Hufeland's Journ., August, 1815, p.75) a case is related
where three tablespoonfuls of a decoction of five ounces of (presumably spurious)
angustura bark, evaporated to five ounces of liquid, were given to a boy five and a half
years old.
This unreasonable dose, which contained about an ounce and a half of angustura power,
proved fatal, as we read with a shudder, in a couple of hours, with horrible sufferings.
This substance would in the same dose have a like effect not only on a boy but on an adult
person.
In this fatal case described by EMMERT the boy presented the following symptoms :
Trembling, soon passing into violent convulsions (aft. 1/2 h.) When the medical attendant
touched the arm in order to feel the pulse tetanus suddenly ensued.
The eyelids were wide open.
The eyes were staring, projecting, and immovable.
Trismus, with wide separation of the lips, so that the front teeth were quite exposed.
Tension of individual facial muscles.
The limbs were stretched out to the utmost, stiff, and stark.
The spinal column and the head strongly drawn backwards.
The trunk was from time to time shaken by violent jerking along the back, as from electric
shocks, and somewhat raised.
Cheeks and lips became blue.
Respiration intermitting.
After an attack that lasted six minutes the boy breathed with great effort, panting, with
blueness of the cheeks and lips.
Great and frequent longing for coffee.
Even swallowing tepid water excited tetanic spasms.
Pulse 102, spasmodic, irregular.
The tetanus sometimes returned without perceptible cause, sometimes was excited by a
noise, or by touching any portion of the body; he constantly called out that no one should
touch him.
After the tetanus the eyes were closed, the forehead and face covered with sweat; blueness
of the cheeks and lips; groaning without (acknowledged) pains.
The whole body became flaccid and relaxed; the eye dead-like convulsive breathing came
back only after long pauses.
Death after an hour.
Half an hour after death the body was stiff and stark.
After twenty-four hours there was already a strong corpse-like smell outside and inside; on
opening the veins cherry-coloured fluid blood was found.
The right lung was externally pale and bloated, internally full of blood; the left lung was
externally blue, when incised blackish and very heavy from blood.
Besides the above other reports of the consequences of strong doses of angustura have
been recorded, such as spasmodic twitchings, vertigo, anxiety, immobility of the muscles as
from stiffening, and a report has been communicated to me by the late.
Dr. Wrzner, of Eilenburg, relating to four persons, each of whom took from ten to twelve
grains of the extract in the form of pills, in whom there occurred : Stiffness of all the
muscles of the body, like tetanus; one fell to the ground suddenly, retaining his
consciousness.
Closure of the jaws, trismus.
Very similar though slighter symptoms will be found in the following list of the effects of
carefully selected pieces of angustura bark on the healthy body.
I have employed for homoeopathic purposes the smallest portion of a drop of the billionth
dilution of the above-described alcoholic tincture, but have found that in some cases a still
higher dilution would have been more suitable Camphor is not an antidote for its too violent
effects, but coffee is.

Angustura vera (Hering)
Galipea Cusparia (U. S. D.). Rutaceae.

A bark from Angustura, South America, said to come from Galipea officinalis (Hancock),
or Blonplandia trifoliata (Bonpland and Humboldt), but according to Schomburgk the tree
is not known.
Proved by Hahnemann and introduced on account of the horrible poisoning cases which
filled the journals from 1804 to 1815.
He published it in 1821, in Part VI. of his Mat.
Med.
His own symptoms, 93 in number; those of his pupils, 209.
A British wholesale druggist had sent a lot of unsalable bark, coming from the East Indies,
to Holland, and from Holland it went all over Germany, under the name of Angustura, a
bark which had come into fashion for fever and diarrhoea, until so many were killed by it
that the sale of it was forbidden.
It was then found that there were two kinds of the bark in trade, the one the vera, the other
a falsa.
Chemistry showed that the one called falsa contained strychnine.
In our toxicologies we find eleven cases of poisoning with it.
Hahnemann held the erroneous opinion, which he subsequently modified (Mat. Med. Pura,
2d edit., 1827), that the poisonings were due to the massive doses given the sick, and he did
not include the symptoms of Angustura falsa, as did Boenninghausen some time later.
In the last number of his Archives, 1848, Stapf published valuable observations of Dr.
Schreter on a sensitive woman, with the 30th centes., in water; a tablespoonful daily for
sixteen consecutive days.
Lembke made a proving in 1872.
All are contained in Allen's Encyclopedia.
For symptoms of Angustura falsa, see Nucis vomicae cortex (erroneously called Brucea
antidysenterica.)

muerto; como si flotara en el aire; ve serpientes. Cree tener una doble personalidad,
como si tuviera dos personalidades o que es doble. Confusin sobre su propia identidad.

ANTIMONIUM CRUDUM
Para comprender bien a Antimonium crudum y saber aplicarlo, es necesario en primer lugar
conocer las razones que conducen a un enfermo a presentar trastornos que justifiquen el
uso de este remedio.
Todos los trastornos de Antimonium crudum sobrevienen, ya despus de un bao fro, ya

despus de un exceso de alimento. Agreguemos que estos trastornos aparecen sobre todo
por el calor, lo que es muy fcil comprender: es generalmente durante la temporada de
calor cuando se toma un bao fro, y asimismo, durante este tiempo, se absorben
alimentos alterados.
1) Despus de un bao fro
Cules son los trastornos que se producen cuando el individuo ha tomado un bao fro?
Tiene dolores o una coriza con ronquera o trastornos digestivos.
A) Los dolores. Despus de un bao fro, los dolores son de dos clases: dolores
reumatismales y cefalea.
1) Los dolores reumatismales. Asientan sobre todo en las primeras articulaciones,
articulaciones de los dedos de la mano o del pie. Se les califica clnicamente bajo el
nombre de "dolores artrticos". Es un enfermo artrtico que presenta dolores en las
pequeas articulaciones de los dedos porque se lava las manos con mucha frecuencia.
Personas como las lavanderas, que sumergen con frecuencia las manos en agua fra. Por
esta razn se ha calificado a Antimonium crudum como "remedio de las lavanderas".
Podemos tambin pensar en otro remedio que le conviene a dolores reumatismales
provocados por la humedad, por ejemplo, despus de recibir un chaparrn sobre el dorso,
despus de permanecer algn tiempo en un lugar hmedo o temperar en un clima
hmedo durante dos o tres semanas: este remedio es Rhus toxicodendron. Rhus tox.
presenta caractersticas muy claras: el enfermo experimenta rigidez dolorosa por la
maana al despertar, no puede mover las grandes articulaciones, ni los dedos, ni las
rodillas, y para "desenmohecerlas" necesita moverse. Este es el nico remedio de la
materia mdica que presenta esta modalidad y esta particularidad. Es agravado por el
primer movimiento, pero mejorado enseguida por los otros.
2) La cefalea. Aparece despus de un bao de ro; el temperamento es caliente, el

enfermo se baa y al salir, experimenta un dolor de cabeza atroz, dolor que se acompaa
siempre de trastornos gstricos. Este dolor de cabeza se manifiesta por una sensacin de
pesadez en el vrtice del crneo y se acompaa de vrtigos y nuseas. Es generalmente
agravado por el movimiento (cuando el sujeto camina o sube una escalera) y por el calor.
Pequea modalidad muy importante: si el sujeto se aproxima a un fogn, estufa u hornilla

despus de haber tomado un bao fro, sufrir mucho ms del dolor. Es de notar esta
agravacin por el calor radiante, porque observaris ms adelante una caracterstica que
os permitir en ciertos casos emplear Antimonium, que con toda seguridad os dar muy
buenos resultados.
Observacin importante: Si este enfermo que sufre de la cabeza, que no se puede mover ni
calentar sin agravarse, le aparece vmito o diarrea, inmediatamente se calmar y la
cefalea desaparece.
B) Coriza y ronquera. Si el bao fro provoca dolores reumatismales y cefalea, puede

tambin provocar otros trastornos, en particular coriza y ronquera. Bruscamente el
enfermo es atacado de una coriza que presenta una caracterstica interesante: por la
noche el sujeto tiene la nariz tapada. Obstruccin de nariz por la noche y en una
habitacin caliente es caracterstica de Antimonium crudum. La ronquera es pasajera, no
dura mucho tiempo.
Otros remedios de coriza pueden relacionarse con Antimonium crudum, con el cual es
necesario distinguirlos.
Allium cepa presenta casi la misma caracterstica que Antimonium crudum, a saber: el
enfermo se siente peor con el tiempo caliente y mejora al aire libre. Pero mientras que
Antimonium tiene la nariz tapada, Allium cepa presenta ms bien derrame mucoso y
tiene estornudos, peores en el calor. Estos estornudos frecuentes son una caracterstica de
Allium cepa. El enfermo comienza a tener lagrimeo y, cosa curiosa, el derrame nasal es
escoriante, pero el lagrimeo no lo es.
Otro remedio que da obstruccin nasal por la noche es Nux vmica. El enfermo bruscamente
tiene la nariz tapada por la noche, y en la maana comienza a correrle el moco como una
fuente. Si Antimonium crudum desencadena una coriza despus de haber tomado un
bao fro, Nux vmica lo sufre despus de una transgresin en el rgimen diettico.
C) Trastornos gstricos. Despus del bao fro, el sujeto de Antimonium crudum puede
tambin tener trastornos gstricos: vmitos, diarrea. Pero hay que agregar que estos
sntomas no aparecen sino en un sujeto determinado y habiendo adems otras razones
que justifiquen la indicacin del remedio; razones que estudiaremos de seguidas, ya que
sabemos que el segundo motivo de la indicacin de Antimonium crudum es el exceso de
comida.
D) Amenorrea. Un bao fro en una enferma de Antimonium crudum puede producir la

detencin de las reglas.
Las reglas de Antimonium crudum son habitualmente adelantadas, a veces se prolongan y

son precedidas generalmente de dolor de dientes. Lo curioso es que las reglas se detienen
tan pronto como la enferma ha tomado un bao fro, un bao de ro, por ejemplo; dichas
reglas son reemplazadas por prdidas blancas, cidas, espesas e irritantes. Debemos
atribuir cierta importancia a este calificativo "irritante", porque a menudo, encontramos a
una enferma que ve detenerse sus reglas cuando ha tomado fro en los pies; esta es
Pulsatilla. Esta enferma puede haber tomado un bao fro de los pies en un arroyo, o
tener los pies mojados durante un paseo y esto determina la detencin inmediata de sus
reglas. Como la mujer de Antimonium crudum, sta tiene prdidas blancas, pero estas
prdidas "no son irritantes", son menos espesas y ligeramente amarillentas.
Veis cmo es interesante retener una pequea caracterstica, pero con la condicin de
compararla a la de otro remedio que, sobre el mismo plan, puede ser igualmente
aplicado, puesto que es la misma razn la que rige a ambos trastornos.
Observaris, de paso, que Sulphur, como Antimonium crudum, no puede soportar los baos
fros, tiene horror al agua, de tal suerte que casi nunca se baa, por eso siempre tiene la
piel sucia, punteada de negro, grasienta, con acn; tiene comezones muy intensas que
trata de aliviar con el rascado y que luego cede su lugar a un verdadero ardor por todo el
cuerpo.
Si encontris a un enfermo que detesta el bao fro porque le hace mal, pensaris en
Antimonium crudum; si encontris a otro que tiene horror al agua, como Sulphur, no
olvidis que el enfermo de Phytolaca reclama baos fros, lo que parece paradjico,
porque sufre de dolores reumticos que sobrevienen por la noche y por la humedad. Sin
embargo, este enfermo desea tomar una ducha fra.
Estudiemos ahora el segundo motivo por el cual un sujeto puede hacerse solidario de
Antimonium crudum: el exceso de comida
2) Despus de un exceso de comida
No se trata solamente de un gastrnomo, sino de un individuo glotn. En presencia de un

enfermo que come todo el tiempo, que come mucho, que no se conduce bien en la mesa,
pensaris en Antimonium crudum. No creis que es un hambriento, como el sujeto de
Iodum; ste es flaco como un clavo y come todo el tiempo para sostenerse; est ansioso
si se tarda la comida, porque tiene necesidad de comer; pero Antimonium crudum no
tiene ninguna necesidad. Se trata ms bien de un sujeto gordo, que tiene reservas que no
las tiene Iodum. Es un tipo glotn que necesita de la abundancia de comida.
Clarke, en su Materia mdica dice: "Antimonium crudum es el remedio de los marranos; al
contrario, de Pulsatilla que es el remedio de las ovejas. El marrano come de todo y en
cantidad, es voraz y glotn; la oveja bala y es resignada: Pulsatilla es lloricona,
resignada, suave y tranquila".
Estos ejemplos, de una trivialidad y de una vulgaridad tal vez un poco desagradables,
permiten fijar la idea que nos representa un remedio. Nuestro estudio es totalmente
diferente del de la Materia mdica oficial; es mucho ms vivo, ms sincero y ms real.
Cuando encontris tal o cual signo en los enfermos, estos signos no os recordarn nada
mientras no hayis comprendido el inters de la Materia mdica homeoptica, pero si los
habis estudiado, ellos os permitirn clasificar a los individuos que se presentan a vuestra
consulta y encontrar inmediatamente los remedios que le son ms exactamente
adaptados.
Cules son los accidentes que van a manifestarse en el sujeto de Antimonium crudum que
come demasiado?
Dos clases de accidente: Trastornos digestivos y trastornos cutneos.
a) Los trastornos digestivos. Pueden aparecer, ya de manera aguda, ya de manera crnica.
Son agudos sobre todo en los nios. A consecuencia de haber comido demasiadas golosinas
tienen indigestin. Esta indigestin puede presentarse tanto en el beb como en el
adolescente.
Son crnicos en el individuo ya descrito, el glotn que come a toda hora y luego termina por
no poder comer ms nada, y la menor alteracin del rgimen lo enferma. Una cosa que
no puede tomar, ni an en pequea cantidad, es el vino, sobre todo si es cido.
"Agravacin por el vino" es caracterstico de Antimonium crudum.
Otros dos remedios tienen tambin esta caracterstica: Nux vomica y Zincum. Un vaso de
vino no enferma al sujeto de Nux vomica, pero uno o dos litros desarrollan en l todos
los sntomas del remedio: se despierta por la maana con dolor de cabeza en crculo y
vrtigos, no puede mantenerse en pie, tiene ansias de vomitar, se siente pesado y se
provoca el vmito para mejorar.
El vino da al enfermo de Zincum nuseas con cefalea, eructos con vmitos, hipo y ardores en
el estmago. Pero el enfermo de Zincum no se comporta del todo como el de
Antimonium.
Os he dicho ya que este ltimo era un tipo gordo, tragn. Zincum es un individuo agotado
desde el punto de vista nervioso, de una hipersensibilidad considerable, a tal punto que
no puede soportar el menor ruido; tiene bruscas sacudidas durante el sueo, es agitado.
Presenta una forma de agitacin muy curiosa: siempre tiene los pies en movimiento,
tanto de noche como de da.
b) Los trastornos cutneos. Los trastornos cutneos de Antimonium crudum son el exutorio
del glotn que no quiere privarse de nada, aunque sus excesos lo enfermen. Se presentan,
ya bajo forma de vesculas pruriginosas (eczema), ya bajo forma de trastornos trficos
caracterizados por un espesamiento de la piel y por modificaciones por parte de las uas.
3) La fiebre
Cmo se presenta la fiebre en un sujeto de Antimonium? Es por lo general ms marcada al

medioda y, antes de que se eleve la temperatura, el nio est triste, sombro; luego
presenta trastornos gstricos. El adulto sabe lo que le espera, puesto que para eso est
habituado: tiene trastornos gstricos, luego se eleva la fiebre y aparece el empacho
gstrico como consecuencia del exceso de comida.
Hay pocas caractersticas en esta fiebre, salvo el escalofro sin sed y las transpiraciones
durante el escalofro. Este enfermo que no puede soportar el vino cido, no tiene ms que
un deseo tomar bebidas cidas, particularmente las ctricas y jugos de frutas.
Es preciso notar en estos enfermos la alternancia constante de calor seco y de sudores. No es

la sucesin de tres estadios: escalofro, calor, sudores, sino la alternancia de calor y de
sudores. El enfermo de Antimonium crudum tiene tanto fro, como calor; conforme
puede tener escalofros o estar cubierto de sudores.
4) Signos objetivos
Existen caractersticas dominantes de inters a retener y sobre las cuales os suplico prestar
siempre vuestra atencin: son los signos objetivos. Es posible que tengis que atender a
un nio que no habla o que no puede contar su historia; o con un sujeto que os responde:
"tal vez si, tal vez no". Con estos enfermos "cerrados" es indispensable conocer los
signos objetivos particulares a cada remedio.
Cules son los signos objetivos de Antimonium crudum?
a) La lengua blanca, recubierta de un barniz espeso, blanco, como si el enfermo hubiera

ingerido leche.
El sujeto que presenta nuseas y vmitos, pero que tiene la lengua limpia, pertenece a Ipeca.
Cualquiera que sea la intensidad de los trastornos digestivos observados en un enfermo
de Ipeca por parte del estmago o del intestino, la lengua est siempre limpia.
Otro enfermo puede presentar trastornos gstricos o intestinales, pero con una lengua muy
grande, recubierta de un barniz amarillo y que guarda la impresin de los dientes: este es
un enfermo de Mercurius. Adems, tiene aliento ftido e hipersalivacin. Otro enfermo
presenta una lengua extensa que guarda la impresin de los dientes, pero limpia como la
de Ipeca: es Ignatia.
Sobre estos tres remedios: Ipeca, Mercurius, Ignatia, podis establecer un diagnstico
diferencial solamente por el aspecto de la lengua.
b) Las boqueras o grietas de las comisuras labiales. Los labios estn rojos y secos.
c) El estado de las heces. Estas son semislidas, semilquidas.
II. ESTUDIO CLNICO
Antimonium crudum conviene a todas las edades de la vida, tanto al nio, como al adulto y al
viejo.
A) El digestivo
1) En el nio. "Despus de haber mamado", bruscamente "el beb vomita la leche cuajada" y
rehusa tomar de nuevo el seno.
El pequeo no quiere mamar. Vomita la leche coagulada. Se hace irritable y desconfiado.
Un remedio extremadamente importante de la Materia mdica presenta la misma

caracterstica, o ms bien, una caracterstica desdoblada: este es Aetusa cynapium. Se
trata de un nio que vomita bruscamente su leche tan pronto como la ha ingerido, o que
la vomita tardamente bajo forma de gruesos cogulos cidos. Vomita bruscamente, de un
slo golpe. Estos vmitos son muy violentos y seguidos de un fenmeno curioso: la
modorra o estado soporoso.
En Antimonium observaris la lengua blanca como la leche, en Aetusa cynapium no hay

lengua blanca, pero a menudo se presenta una diarrea verde, glerosa. En fin, Aetusa
presenta un adelgazamiento rpido. Por el contrario, Antimonium es generalmente gordo.
Por consiguiente, imposible de confundirlos.
2) En el adulto. Estado Agudo. Se trata de un sujeto que ha comido demasiado pan o pasteles,
que tiene agravacin por el vino, sobre todo el vino cido, o que ha tomado un bao fro
y bruscamente ve desencadenarse sntomas digestivos, caracterizados en primer lugar por
eructos que tienen el sabor y el olor de los alimentos absorbidos, despus por nuseas y
vmitos; el abdomen est distendido; por ltimo sobreviene diarrea.
Esta forma de diarrea es interesante de estudiar: la primera evacuacin es slida, luego la

siguiente semilquida, semislida , y es hacia la tercera, cuarta o quinta evacuacin
cuando el enfermo presenta una diarrea francamente acuosa. Tal es la evolucin habitual
de los trastornos digestivos de Antimonium crudum en el enfermo hasta el momento en
que su intestino se vaca, y entonces termina la indigestin. Durante todo el tiempo de las
reacciones gastrointestinales, observaris la caracterstica objetiva de Antimonium
crudum la lengua recubierta de un barniz espeso, blanco como la leche.
Estado crnico. El enfermo presenta sntomas de enterocolitis; ha cometido muchos excesos

y ahora sufre las consecuencias; es un verdadero martirio, porque est gordo y, aunque
no quiere comer en exceso para no engordar, no puede satisfacer su glotonera, en razn
de los accidentes gastrointestinales que le produce (el martirio del obeso!).
Es un sujeto que viene enfermo desde hace uno, dos o tres aos, que ha tomado baos
termales, sometido a toda clase de rgimen diettico, y que no cura mientras no se le d
"su" remedio: Antimonium crudum.
Recordaris que el enfermo tiene "boquera" en las comisuras labiales, las cuales estn
"agrietadas y dolorosas"; los labios estn "rojos" y "secos"; sin embargo, hay una
"salivacin abundante". La saliva tiene cierto gusto: es "salada".
Las encas son "sangrantes" y se separan de los dientes. Pequeo signo sobre el cual el
enfermo insiste: tiene a menudo "aftas" en la boca, que aumentan cuando absorbe
sustancias grasas o azucaradas; por ejemplo, si abusa de los entremeses y charcutera en
gran cantidad. Recordaris la caracterstica de la lengua. El enfermo os dice: "no tengo
apetito", "todo me disgusta, no puedo comer, los alimentos me repugnan al slo verlos".
Es algo parecido al sujeto de Colchicum, de Sepia, o de Arsenicum; y sobre todo no
puede beber vino. Prosigue diciendo el sujeto "no deseo ms nada que una cosa: una
limonada o un jugo de frutas, el menor sabor a vino me produce nuseas y eructos,
inmediatamente despus de la comida expulso gases que tienen olor y sabor de los
alimentos ingeridos".
El sujeto se queja de estar aventado despus de la comida. Al examen constataris un hgado

grande, duro y doloroso, con dolor en la regin vesicular. Observaris tambin, muy a
menudo, una coloracin subictrica de las conjuntivas.
Pero el motivo por el cual el sujeto os consulta es la enteritis, que se presenta siempre de la
misma manera. Si el enfermo no sigue un rgimen riguroso y reducido, presentar "heces
semilquidas". No tiene alternancia de constipacin y de diarrea (como en Sulphur), sino
simplemente heces semilquidas o semislidas. La diarrea acuosa o serosa no se
encuentra sino en las heces terminales de la indigestin aguda de Antimonium crudum.
Lo que fastidia mucho al enfermo son sus hemorroides. En realidad no las notaris
externamente; tal vez sean internas, pero el enfermo tiene un verdadero catarro rectal.
Esta secrecin se manifiesta bajo forma de un "escurrimiento constante" a nivel del ano;
escurrimiento que ensucia el interior y que acompaa de comezones.
3) En el viejo. En el viejo constataris enteritis crnica y sntoma que os he sealado siempre

como caracterstico de Sulphur: "las alternancias de constipacin y de diarrea". Durante
dos y tres das el enfermo no puede ir al retrete, pero luego tiene una debacle que se
acompaa siempre de tenesmo. Luego vuelve a estar constipado, y as sucesivamente. El
viejo no puede soportar el vino. Encontraris en l el mismo estado de la lengua que en el
nio: barniz espeso y coloracin blanca.
En fin, ya sea que se encuentra en el estadio de constipacin o de diarrea, el enfermo est

siempre amodorrado.
B) El respiratorio
Despus de la forma digestiva de Antimonium, estudiaremos la forma respiratoria.

Se encuentra ms bien en el nio, pero es poco desarrollada. La nariz est "escoriada"; hay
eczema costroso de las narices con coriza, pero sta es ms crnica que aguda y se
traduce por "obstruccin nasal", ms marcada por la noche y en una habitacin caliente.
El enfermo no puede respirar por la noche. Tiene una sensacin curiosa: cuando inspira
aire por la nariz, es como si inspirara aire fro. Durante el da hay acumulacin de
mucosidades que caen hacia la rinofaringe. Se siente obligado a desgarrar y cuando lo
hace, es para expulsar estas mucosidades.
Presenta a veces ronquera y tos. Es aqu donde encontraris la curiosa modalidad que os he
indicado al principio: agravacin por el calor radiante. Se trata de nios gordos que
comen demasiado, que abusan de las golosinas y que son atacados en cualquier momento
de coqueluche. Ensayaris, entonces los diferentes remedios de coqueluche que os
parezcan indicables: Drosera, Belladonna, Coccus cacti, y no obtendris ningn resultado
ni descubriris el remedio hasta el momento en que observis que el nio comienza a
toser cuando se acerca a un radiador. La tos agravada por el calor radiante no es
atribuible ms que a un slo remedio: Antimonium crudum.
C) El reumtico
El reumtico de Antimonium crudum presenta dolores agravados por el cambio de

temperatura, por el fro y la humedad, y naturalmente por el bao fro. Estos dolores
sobrevienen especialmente durante los das clidos, en el curso de los cuales el enfermo
se resfra. Tambin aparecen cuando ha tomado algn estimulante alcohlico: vino, por
ejemplo.
Cul es el sitio de este reumatismo? Son las pequeas articulaciones, particularmente los
dedos; se encuentran, sobre todo, como os he dicho al comienzo de esta leccin, en las
lavanderas y las personas que por su profesin estn obligadas a sumergir las manos en
el agua, y en los gotosos. Pensaris que el sujeto de Antimonium debe sufrir de gota: es
un tipo que come mucho, que es gordo y que pronto se hace obeso. Este gotoso presenta
una pequea caracterstica interesante: "sus crisis alternan con crisis digestivas". Cuando
tiene gota, no tiene trastornos digestivos, y por el contrario: cuando tiene trastornos
digestivos no sufre de reumatismo gotoso.
Pequeo signo interesante sealado por Allen: En el curso de un reumatismo gotoso los
dolores se desarrollan de una manera particular: van y vienen y no aparecen nunca del
mismo lado; por ejemplo, si el enfermo comienza a sufrir de la mano derecha o de una
pequea articulacin del lado derecho, ms tarde sufrir del lado izquierdo. "Los dolores
pasan de uno al otro lado del cuerpo".
D) La piel
Ciertos enfermos de Antimonium crudum presentan pocos trastornos digestivos, pero s

erupciones y trastornos trficos.
a) Las erupciones son generalmente "vesiculosas" o "pustulosas" y se desarrollan sobre una
base inflamada, roja y dolorosa. Clnicamente podis pensar en Antimonium cuando
estis en presencia de un eczema vesiculoso muy pruriginoso.
Cul es el sitio de asiento? Ya alrededor de los labios (recordad las boqueras), ya en las
narices, ora alrededor del mentn y sobre las mejillas. Eczema y urticaria son
manifestaciones frecuentes de Antimonium crudum.
b) Los trastornos trficos. Por parte de la piel: "espesamientos crneos", "induraciones",

callos o cuernos, cuya caracterstica es ser muy dolorosos. Asientan a nivel de la planta
de los pies, como a nivel de las manos. Estas callosidades impiden al enfermo caminar.
La "sensibilidad dolorosa de la planta de los pies" hace pensar en muchos remedios.
Aranea diadema sufre, sobre todo, a nivel de los talones, dolores en los huesos, dolores muy
profundos provocados o aumentados por la humedad.
Al contrario, si el sujeto tiene induraciones aponeurticas, retraccin de la aponeurosis

palmar y las mismas induraciones aponeurticas a nivel de la planta de los pies,
pensaris en Baryta carbnica, excelente remedio de la enfermedad de Dupuytren, con la
condicin de que el sujeto presente hipertensin arterial.
Otro individuo no puede caminar porque tiene dolores agudos en los dedos de los pies:
Ledum palustre. Pero, cosa curiosa, si mete los pies en agua fra , desaparecen los
dolores.
En otro caso el paciente sufre de los talones, como Aranea diadema, pero lo que caracteriza a
los dolores es la sensacin de latidos o punzadas agudas en los talones que le semejan
caminar sobre piedras puntiagudas. Esta es la indicacin de Lycopodium.
Otro sujeto sufre de los talones, an sin caminar. Es la indicacin de Medorrhinum.
Sntoma conexo: el enfermo tiene sensacin de quemadura en las manos y los pies por la
noche en su cama, y trata de buscar un lugar fresco.
Otro enfermo se priva de caminar debido a que sus pies le sudan mucho. Tiene sudores
escoriantes, ftidos, la piel es dolorosa. Este es Silcea.
En resumen, estudiando a fondo un sntoma, descubriris siempre diferencias muy claras

entre los remedios que lo presentan, y al reportaros a las caractersticas generales de cada
remedio "indicio", estaris en camino de determinar aqul que conviene exactamente al
enfermo observado.
Las uas de Antimonium crudum son espesas, deformadas, resquebrajadas y, sobre todo,
"dolorosas". (Silcea: uas espesas con manchas blancas y erupciones yuxtaungueales;
Graphites: uas espesas, deformadas, con manchas negras; Thuja: uas blandas,
fcilmente flexibles, con manos hmedas).
Antimonium crudum presenta a veces "depsitos calcreos" bajo las uas que son muy
dolorosas; el dolor es agravado por el calor radiante, como lo he podido observar en
religiosas o camareras obligadas a planchar.
EL PSIQUISMO DE ANTIMONIUM CRUDUM
En Antimonium crudum, en realidad, no hay estado psquico.El nio es irritable o miedoso,

no puede soportar ser tocado o mirado; pero esto no constituye un estado psquico.
Sin embargo, cuando tengis que atender a muchachas jvenes o a mujeres, veris que estn
tristes. Son exaltadas, imaginan toda clase de cosas y vienen a vuestra consulta diciendo:
"La vida me disgusta, no vale la pena seguir viviendo, me parece que si yo pudiera morir,
estara ms tranquila despus".
Cosa curiosa, estas personas son perturbadas por una luz difusa y clara; estn siempre ms
exaltadas, ms desequilibradas con la claridad de la luna. Cuando, por la noche, la luz de
la luna se proyecta en su alcoba, cierran las persianas. "Agravacin por la claridad de la
luna", es caracterstico de Antimonium crudum. Sabis que Calcrea carbnica
corresponde a todos los estados mrbidos agravados por la luna llena; y Silcea, a los
enfermos agravados por la luna nueva.
De Antimonium crudum tendris siempre presente esa gran caracterstica de la "sensibilidad

al bao fro"; recordaris igualmente que es un individuo glotn, que comete excesos y
que sufre las consecuencias. Todos los trastornos de Antimonium crudum sobrevienen
por esas dos causas. No olvidis la caracterstica esencial que se encuentra a nivel de la
lengua: un barniz espeso, blanco, como si el sujeto hubiera tomado leche; lo que
constituye un signo objetivo importante y de gran valor diagnstico.
ANTIMONIUM CRUDUM (Nash)
Lengua recubierta por una gruesa capa, blanca como la leche (en numerosas
afecciones).
Trastornos ocasionados por sobrecargar el estmago, especialmente con alimentos

grasosos; nuseas.
Uas de los dedos de la mano deformadas: crecen agrietadas como las verrugas y con
puntos crneos.
Callos y callosidades en la planta de los pies, con excesiva sensibilidad; no puede

caminar sin sentir gran dolor.
Alternancia de constipacin y diarrea en los viejos, especialmente con la lengua
caracterstica.
El nio no puede soportar que lo toquen o que lo miren; est de mal humor enojado.
Estados febriles nocturnos.
Cefalea: despus de baarse en el ro; por tomar fro; por la ingestin de bebidas
alcohlicas: por indigestin; por los cidos, las grasas, las frutas; despus de supresin de
erupciones.
Del ano rezuma mucus icoroso que mancha de amarillo; hemorroides mucosas.
No puede tolerar el calor del sol; agravacin producida por los esfuerzos realizados al
sol; agotado por el tiempo caluroso.
Como los tres remedios que acabamos de describir, el que ahora estudiaremos posee
una marcada afinidad con el tubo digestivo. Su caracterstica dominante se encuentra en su
lengua cubierta con una gruesa capa blanca, muy blanca, blanca como la leche. Muchos
remedios tienen lengua blanca, pero ste los sobrepasa a todos.
Es tambin un gran remedio para el estmago. Cuando se producen desrdenes de

este rgano que provienen de los excesos de comida, en los que existe mucha nusea,
malestar y, especialmente, la lengua caracterstica, se debe pensar en este remedio antes que
en ningn otro de los antes estudiados. Debe tomrselo sobre todo en cuenta si el desarreglo
gstrico es de reciente data. El proceso de la digestin se realiza con suma dificultad; los
eructos poseen el gusto de la comida que se ingiri y el enfermo tiene la impresin como que
debe "devolver" para obtener algn alivio. En un caso as, unos pocos glbulos de
Antimonium crudum sobre la lengua, a menudo, ponen fin al malestar, evitan la prdida de
una comida y cualquier trastorno ulterior.
Estas transgresiones dietticas pueden ir seguidas muchas veces de diarrea,

especialmente durante el calor del verano; las deposiciones, entonces, tienen la particularidad
de ser en parte slidas y en parte lquidas, lo cual demuestra que la digestin slo se ha
cumplido parcialmente a lo largo de todo el trayecto gastrointestinal. Antimonium crudum y
Bryonia presentan algunas veces aproximadamente las mismas indicaciones en estas
afecciones estivales, la totalidad del caso es la que debe decidir la eleccin entre esos dos
remedios.
Existe una forma de diarrea que alterna con constipacin y que se encuentra con
mayor frecuencia en personas de edad y donde Antimonium crudum es el nico remedio. Es
tambin uno de los mejores medicamentos para las hemorroides "mucosas": hay un
constante rezumamiento de mucus que mancha la ropa interior, muy desagradable para el
paciente.
-Algunos sntomas mentales de este remedio son muy peculiares: "Profunda tristeza y
nimo deprimido, con fiebre intermitente", adems, "disposicin sentimental a la luz de la
luna, amor exttico", y tambin, "el nio no puede soportar que lo toquen o que lo miren".
De los dos primeros nada puedo decir por experiencia u observacin, pero en cuanto
al ltimo, afirmo que es una joya. Muchas veces tuve que emplear Antimonium crudum,
precisamente por este estado mental, en casos de fiebre gstrica o remitente, para las cuales
es un remedio muy valioso. El nio est enojado, pero no como el de Chamomilla, que quiere
ser acariciado y llevado en brazos, sino que ste da gritos, llora y muestra mal genio ante
cualquier pequea atencin que se le prodigue. Otra circunstancia que he observado en
muchos de estos casos es que la fiebre se eleva durante la noche y va acompaada de intensa
sed; la lengua blanca est casi siempre presente. Tales nios se hallan muy propensos, a tener
"las ventanas nasales y las comisuras de los labios, irritadas, agrietadas y con costras", an
cuando aparentemente estn sanos, y este trastorno tambin puede presentarse cuando estn
enfermos.
-Existe en algunas personas un estado constitucional que demanda este remedio. Se

manifiesta en las extremidades: las uas de los dedos de las manos crecen agrietadas, como
las verrugas, con puntos crneos, y si una de ellas accidentalmente se lesiona o se parte, no
se repara como debiera, sino que crece deforme. (En Silicea las uas de las manos y de los
pies son deformes; en Graphites las uas se vuelven gruesas y deformes; en Thuja las uas
son quebradizas, friables y tambin deformes.) Por otra parte, las uas de los dedos de los
pies son tambin quebradizas y crecen asimismo deformes o se retraen y no crecen ms. Las
plantas de los pies estn cubiertas de callos y callosidades que son MUY SENSIBLES;
apenas puede caminar a causa de esta sensibilidad. Algunos de los peores casos de
reumatismo crnico han sido curados por este remedio, indicado por la excesiva sensibilidad
de las plantas de los pies. (Las plantas de Baryta carbnica se irritan por el sudor de los pies;
las plantas de Pulsatilla son dolorosas y sensibles; los talones y plantas de los pies de Ledum
son sensibles cuando camina; Medorrhinum slo puede caminar sobre las rodillas; las plantas
de los pies de Lycopodium estn hinchadas y dolorosas.) Las excrecencias crneas en
cualquier punto de la piel harn pensar en Antimonium crudum. Este remedio se halla
indicado con mayor frecuencia en las edades extremas de la vida: en los nios y en los viejos.
-Veamos ahora las modalidades peculiares que merecen especial mencin. Primera:
los trastornos estn, a menudo, causados o agravados por el calor y en especial por el calor
del sol. (Bryonia, Glonoinum, Gelsemium, Natrum carbnicum. ) El enfermo se siente
agotado durante el tiempo caluroso; los trastornos digestivos tales como las nuseas, vmitos
y diarrea, sobrevienen entonces o se agravan. Tambin estn peor la tos y, como la de
Bryonia, se agrava al entrar en una habitacin caliente despus de haber estado al aire fro.
Estas afecciones estn particularmente agravadas por el calor del sol pero tambin por el
calor radiante del fuego, de suerte que Antimonium crudum ostenta un alto rango como
remedio del tiempo caluroso. Segunda: el bao fro causa trastornos o los agrava. ( Rhus
toxicodendron, Sulphur.) "El nio llora cuando se lo lava o se lo baa con agua fra." El bao
fro causa cefalalgia, coriza, catarro gstrico, diarrea, suspensin del perodo, odontalgia,
etctera. Cuando se nos presenta el caso de una enfermedad inveterada y el paciente refiere el
comienzo del trastorno a una competencia de natacin o a una cada al agua, pensemos en
Antimonium crudum y prosigamos el examen en busca de otras indicaciones del
medicamento.
-Por ltimo, he aqu algunos sntomas dispersos que han hallado su remedio en
Antimonium crudum: "Hemorragia intestinal copiosa, la sangre est mezclada con heces
slidas; enrojecimiento crnico de los prpados; odontalgia en dientes cariados, que empeora
a la noche; trastorno gstrico despus de la ingestin de sustancias cidas, vino picado,
vinagre, etc."
ANTIMONIUM CRUDUM (Lathoud)
Antimonio crudo o sulfuro negro de antimonio es un Protosulfuro de antimonio cuya frmula

es : Sb2 S3. Se encuentra en los terrenos mezclado a menudo con sulfuros de plomo,
hierro y arsnico. Se presenta bajo la forma de prismas ortorrmbicos color azul oscuro,
menos brillantes y menos densos que el antimonio metlico. Sin olor ni sabor, es
insoluble en agua y en alcohol. Se trata del producto antiguamente empleado en medicina
con el nombre de antimonio.
Las tres primeras dinamizaciones se preparan por trituracin hahnnemaniana, y a partir de

stos obtenemos las dinamizaciones ms elevadas.
Sobre el neumogstrico, por medio del cual manifiesta sus potentes propiedades hemticas.
Acta sobre los rganos dependientes de este neumogstrico : DIRECTAMENTE sobre
meninges, faringe, laringe, esfago, trquea, pulmones, pleura, corazn, estmago,
intestino delgado : INDIRECTAMENTE (Vsceras abdominales) por intermedio de sus
anastomosis con el simptico (Plexo solar).
Su accin es hipoastenizante. Tambin acta sobre las mucosas del tracto digestivo
aumentando sus secreciones.
Marcada influencia sobre PIEL y FANERAS. La funcin nutritiva sufre afectaciones de la

va vegetativa.
Dice Boericke : "Son los sntomas mentales y los de la esfera gstrica los que determinan la
eleccin del remedio" y Kent agrega : "Es sorprendente ver, estudiando este remedio, que
todos los sntomas tienen por centro el estmago". Poco importa la clase de malestares,
el estmago lleva la parte principal. Los dolores gstricos producen nuseas; cefalea que
causa mareos; todo acompaado de gran malestar estomacal.
Caractersticas
CONSTITUCIN Y TIPO: Acta en ambos extremos de la vida : los nios y los jvenes, por
un lado, y los viejos por otro. Dice Espanet: "LAS constituciones ms favorables a la
accin de este remedio son aquellas en que se desarrollan grandes vsceras con o sin
tejido adiposo. Los grandes calores, los climas clidos, exigen una alimentacin ms
excitante que abundante. Entonces a la menor sobrecarga de alimentos o desarreglo en el
rgimen, ocasionan digestiones laboriosas que desgastan la actividad simptica, sobre
todo la del neumogstrico".
Estado mental
Lo importante para la eleccin del remedio puede resumirse as:
a) ASPEREZA DE CARCTER, TRISTE, IRASCIBLE Y GRUN; si es un nio, no

tolera que se le toque, que se le examine, no quiere ser paseado (CHAMOM.): un adulto,
es malhumorado y triste.
b) ABORRECIMIENTO A LA VIDA: NO TIENE DESEOS DE VIVIR, LA VIDA ES

PARA EL UNA CARGA.
Lengua BLANCA, MUY BLANCA, CUBIERTA DE UNA CAPA BLANCA MUY

ESPESA; otros medicamentos acusan este signo (HYDRAST., KALI CARB., PULS.,
SEPIA) aunque ninguno tan marcado como ANT. CRUD.
Modalidades
A) Lateralidad
Derecha superior, izquierda inferior.
B) Mejora
Por el reposo, estando acostado, tranquilo, por aplicaciones calientes, baos calientes y al
aire libre.
C) Agravacin
a) POR EXCESO DE CALOR, PARTICULARMENTE DEL SOL. (BRYON.,

GLONOIN, GELS., NATR. CARB., LACH.). El remedio desarrolla su accin
particularmente en CLIMAS CLIDOS O EN VERANO. El calor agota y empeora los
sntomas gstricos. La tos se agrava al pasar del aire fro al calor (BRYON., NATR.
CARB.). Todos los sntomas se agravan por el calor, tanto del sol, como de una estufa. El
nio con coqueluche se agrava al aproximarse al fuego. (Kent).
b) Por los baos fros (RHUS TOX., SULFUR); el nio llora al ser lavado o baado en
agua fra.
c) DESPUS DE HABER BEBIDO VINO, VINAGRE U OTRA BEBIDA CIDA.

(ZINC.).
d) Despus de haber comido abundantemente cerdo, pan o pasteles.
e) De noche; al claro de la luna (humor sentimental al claro de luna).
Sntomas mentales
Individuos huraos; descontentos de todo lo que los rodea; amantes de contradecir;
malhumorados, sin deseos de hablar; se ofenden por lo ms mnimo.
Nios gordos, insaciables, denotan mal humor cuando se los mira; no quieren ser tocados,
mirados, y los ms insignificante los encoleriza.
Esta irritabilidad nos recuerda a BRYON., CHAMOM., NUX VOM., CHINA, SEPIA.
Disgusto por la vida que es una carga para ellos. Acompaado de depresin y agotamiento
nerviosos. Mujer triste, melanclica, sentimental, sin deseo alguno.
Este sntoma, muy propio de la pubertad, tambin se encuentra en un enfermo confiere

continua, como fiebre tifoidea, de la que ANT. CRUD. tiene toda la postracin, como
ARS. ALB. adems tiene temor a la muerte; por otra parte ARS. ALB. est siempre
agitado y ANT. CRUD. no; ARS. ALB. es sediento y ANT. CRUD. nunca tiene sed
(Kent).
A todo esto se agrega un sntoma que a veces aparece slo por instantes: las jvenes mujeres
sentimentales, histricas, fcilmente irritables, se conmueven ante una luz suave como la
que puede filtrarse a travs de un vidrio de color; este sntoma quiere decir HUMOR
SENTIMENTAL A LA LUZ DE LA LUNA
Es un desbordamiento desordenado de los afectos que slo puede encontrarse en

desequilibrados.
Sueo
Somnolencia, SOPOR CONTINUO DURANTE EL DA. De noche, sueos agitados y

ansiosos.
Cabeza
CEFALEA PRINCIPALMENTE INSTALADA EN EL VRTICE, despus de un bao o

relacionada con trastornos gstricos, o despus de haber bebido vino amargo, cido, o de
haber comido dulces. Vrtigos, nuseas y epistaxis.
SENSACIN DE PESADEZ EN EL VRTICE. Agravada por el movimiento, subiendo

escaleras o en habitacin caliente, sobre todo si el paciente est cerca de una estufa.
Mejora por el reposo al aire libre; MEJORA INMEDIATA SI APARECEN VMITOS.
MEJORA POR UNA ELIMINACIN, es la caracterstica de ANT. CRUD.: coriza,
diarrea, vmito, mientras que la supresin de una secrecin causa EMPEORAMIENTO
O PROVOCA LA CEFALEA O MIGRAA; LOS TRASTORNOS GSTRICOS Y
LAS MIGRAAS ESTN LIGADOS NTIMAMENTE AL FUNCIONAMIENTO
ORGNICO Y SIGUEN EL RITMO DE LAS SECRECIONES.
Ojos
Inflamados, rojos, los prpados presentan una ligera supuracin mucosa superficial; se abren
con dificultad; COMISURAS PALPEBRALES FISURADAS, EN CARNE VIVA.
Blefaritis crnica y fotofobia, especialmente por la luz del sol y la del fuego brillante.
(MERC.).
Cara
Erupciones supurantes, granos, pstulas, fornculos; COSTRAS AMARILLENTAS EN

MENTN Y MEJILLAS.
Fosas nasales HENDIDAS, FISURADAS, CUBIERTAS DE COSTRAS CON ECZEMA.
LABIOS SECOS Y COMISURAS HENDIDAS; ECZEMA PERIBUCAL Y HENDIDURAS

DOLOROSAS EN LAS COMISURAS (ARUM., CONDUR., GRAPH., HEP. SULF.
CALC., NITRI AC.).
Aparato digestivo
Este captulo, juntamente con el de los sntomas mentales es la parte ms importante de la

patogenesia de ANT. CRUD.
1) BOCA: Salivacin abundante, salada; gusto amargo en la boca con SED ARDIENTE,
SOBRE TODO A LA NOCHE.
Encas sangrantes; odontalgia peor de noche, en dientes cariados. El principal signo bucal,
netamente caracterstico, es : LENGUA CUBIERTA POR UNA CAMADA BLANCA,
ESPESA, LENGUA BLANCA COMO LA LECHE; SE DIRA QUE LA LENGUA SE
HA CUBIERTO DE UNA CAPA DE BLANQUEO ESPESA. Otros medicamentos
tienen lengua blanca : HYDRAST., KALI CARB., PULS., SEPIA, ANT. TART., ms
bien amarillenta oscura, pero ninguno de una blancura tan neta y uniforme como ANT.
CRUD.
2) ESTOMAGO: SIN APETITO. El slo PENSAR EN ALIMENTOS, o su OLOR, basta

para provocar NAUSEAS O VMITOS (COLCH., ARS., SEPIA).
Gran deseo de alimentos cidos (ANT. TART., MAGN. CARB., MYRICA, SEPIA).
Nuseas constantes. Sensacin de pesadez como si el estmago estuviese sobrecargado,

como si hubiese comido demasiado, an con el estmago vaco; sensacin de estmago
distendido, an cuando el epigastrio est plano. Esfuerzos continuos para vomitar,
nuseas y la sensacin de pesadez aumenta progresivamente, sin que los vmitos calmen
(Kent).
Trastornos digestivos provenientes de sobrecarga estomacal ANT. CRUD. es til para las
molestias que siguen a un banquete o cena demasiado abundante, por ej. la de Navidad;
lengua muy blanca, sensacin de plenitud, distensin estomacal y abdominal, eructos
desagradables, con el gusto de la comida ingerida, tardan en aparecer las nuseas y por
ltimo los vmitos con restos alimentarios (Dewey)
ANT. CRUD. es el remedio de los desarreglos estomacales recientes, digestin difcil con
eructos, nuseas, vmitos por sobrecarga estomacal, sobre todo de cosas indigestas y
bebidas cidas (vino, vinagre, etc., que a pesar de hacerle mal, desea). IPECA tiene
alguna analoga, aunque predominan las nuseas, no los vmitos y la lengua est limpia.
PULS. es tambin til en trastornos digestivos por abuso de alimentos, demasiado ricos,
grasos, pesados, helados y adems diarrea, pero carece de los vmitos caractersticos de
ANT. CRUD. BRYON. es til en catarro gstrico por abuso en comidas, lengua blanca,
boca seca, pero es mucho ms irritado que ANT. CRUD., la lengua es blanca slo en el
medio, los bordes son rosados, hay generalmente CONSTIPACIN, deposiciones duras,
oscuras y secas; no obstante si hay diarrea, es acuosa, ftida, con olor a queso viejo.
(Farrington).
3) METSTASIS GOTOSA EN ESTOMAGO O INTESTINOS: La naturaleza gotosa

del caso parece cambiar de golpe, aparecen los vmitos de repente, duran das y
semanas, hasta que los sntomas gotosos reaparecen en las extremidades. Es notable la
rapidez y brusquedad de este cambio de localizacin sintomtica;de golpe la gota cesa en
las extremidades y reaparecen los sntomas gstricos; puede llamrsele, si se desea, "gota
del estmago" (Kent).
4) ABDOMEN: Violentos dolores abdominales, CLICOS con dolores ardientes y gran

hinchazn; plenitud y distensin despus de comer (LYCOP.) con eructos y gases
intestinales. Esta sensacin suele aumentar gradualmente, ejerciendo presin y
aumentando la tensin. Este timpanismo puede presentarse en la fiebre tifoidea, diarreas
estivales o en simple caso de flatulencia; puede asociarse a la lengua blanca y a los
trastornos gstricos, si se trata de un gotoso, en que los tofos son muy sensibles, y el
estmago e intestinos estn distendidos y dolorosos.
Puede haber INFLAMACIN Y CONGESTIN HEPTICA. Hgado grande y duro, con

dolor en regiones heptica y vesicular. Dolores desgarrantes. A veces se asocia a estos
sntomas, la ictericia (Kent).
5) ANO Y DEPOSICIONES: HEMORROIDES CON SECRECIN CONTINUA QUE

MANCHA LA ROPA; MUY DESAGRADABLE PARA EL ENFERMO. Estas
hemorroides son muy violentas en estados gotosos crnicos si se toma un bao fro, si el
tiempo es hmedo, y si hace fro. Se agravan por el vino, alimentos y bebidas cidas.
Estmago, intestinos, recto y hemorroides se agravan por los desarreglos estomacales,
con bebidas cidas o alimentos indigestos, por bao fro o tiempo hmedo (Kent).
ALTERNANCIAS DE CONSTIPACIN Y DIARREA, SOBRE TODO EN LOS VIEJOS;

LA DIARREA ES ACUOSA CON PEQUEAS MASAS FECALES Y LA
CONSTIPACIN ES SECA Y DURA. (CHELID., estos sntomas acompaan a los
trastornos hepticos propios del remedio; COLLINS., particularmente en las mujeres;
NUX VOM., en que aparecen como consecuencia del abuso de purgantes,
principalmente drsticos; PODO., donde la diarrea aparece temprano a la maana y con
frecuente prolapso rectal). La caracterstica de la diarrea de ANT. CRUD. es que est
formada por partes acuosas y partes slidas (ANT. TART. es totalmente lquida).
La diarrea de ANT. CRUD. parece requerir mucho tiempo para vaciar el intestino; primero se
expulsa un poco, al cabo de un instante otro poco, hasta que una vez vaciado el intestino,
sobreviene un tenesmo muy pronunciado. Esta diarrea termina en disentera, con gran
inflamacin de colon y recto, muy dolorosa, mucho tenesmo, prolongados esfuerzos y
gran agotamiento. (Kent).
rganos genitales
Los trastornos genitales, principalmente en la mujer, estn ntimamente ligados al estado

mental. Los estados melanclicos, exaltacin, tristeza, depresin, tienen relacin con
PTOSIS DE RGANOS ABDOMINALES. (L. Vannier).
VSCERAS PELVIANAS RELAJADAS, SENSACIN DE TIRN DE ARRIBA HACIA

ABAJO EN EL VIENTRE. PROLAPSO UTERINO con secrecin semejante a
leucorrea. Diversos trastornos menstruales. Ovarios irritables y dolorosos, tal como
ocurre en las jvenes histricas, soadoras y presentan el cuadro mental ya descrito.
(Kent).
LAS REGLAS PUEDEN SER PRECOCES Y MUY ABUNDANTES o bien SUPRIMIDAS,

por un bao fro, con sensacin de ptosis, de presin pelviana hacia abajo y marcada
sensibilidad en la regin ovrica. Antes de las reglas, la paciente se queja a menudo de
odontalgia.
Leucorrea acuosa, o bien cida, espesa, irritante. Prurito vulvar con excitacin genital.
1) NARIZ: CATARRO DESPUS DE HABER TOMADO FRO; SENSACIN DE

HINCHAZN AL ENTRAR EN UNA HABITACIN CALIENTE. CORIZA con
tendencia a hacerse crnico, por la constitucin pobre del paciente. Cuando ya es crnico
est relacionado con dolores de cabeza y empeora de noche. A medida que el catarro
disminuye y se vuelve ms seco aumenta el dolor de cabeza. Neuralgias ceflicas y al
mismo tiempo malestar estomacal, nuseas y vmitos. Podr esto confundirse con angina
gstrica, pero basta recordar que todo apareci despus de haber tomado fro, que la
secrecin nasal disminuy al aparecer la sensacin de sequedad de la mucosa nasal, y
que el aire inhalado al pasar por ella daba una sensacin de escozor. A veces el dolor de
cabeza persiste a pesar de los vmitos o slo desaparece despus de vmitos
prolongados. Hay otros remedios que mejoran el dolor de cabeza por los vmitos, pero
en ANT. CRUD. stos son violentos, interminables y extremadamente agotadores. El
dolor de cabeza agrava por el movimiento, por la noche, en habitacin clida, por exceso
de calor, o por el calor irradiado por una estufa, por el fuego o por una luz, mientras que
mejora acostado, estando quieto o al aire libre (Kent). Esta descripcin del coriza de
ANT. CRUD. demuestra que en este remedio catarro nasal, cefalea y sntomas gstricos
pueden constituir el cuadro completo.
2) LARINGE: PERDIDA DE LA VOZ DESPUS DE UN ACALORAMIENTO: voz

chillona que a veces se quiebra. El paciente toma un bao fro al acostarse, y a la maana
siguiente al despertar est AFNICO; afona indolora, de la que se da cuente al querer
hablar; puede haber a la vez espasmos larngeos, y estrechez dolorosa de garganta
(Kent). Adems el catarro puede ir bajando hasta provocar bronquitis y hasta
bronconeumona.
3) PULMONES: TOS ESPASMDICA, SECA, EN PAROXISMOS DECRECIENTES.

Comienza muy violentamente y va perdiendo violencia. Tos seca, con sensacin de
comezn en laringe o trquea. (EMPEORA entrando en habitacin caliente, como
BRYON., NATR. CARB). Catarro sofocante en viejos, adultos y nios, expectoracin
difcil con esfuerzos denodados, de esputos viscosos, pegajosos, espesos, que se adhieren
a los bronquios.
Sacudidas musculares sacudidas en los brazos. Dolores artrticos en los dedos; nudosidades
gotosas en muchas articulaciones;tofos.
UAS QUE CRECEN MAL, QUEBRADIZAS. Si por casualidad se doblan y se quiebran,

crecen mal y no alcanzan el largo de las dems. SILIC. uas de manos y pies
deformadas; GRAPH. uas gruesas y deformadas. THUYA, tiene uas deformadas y
quebradizas.
Igualmente puede haber EXCRECENCIAS CORNEAS DOLOROSAS BAJO LAS UAS, a

diferencia de CAUST. que tiene VERRUGAS BAJO LAS uas, VERRUGAS
CORNEAS EN MANOS Y PLANTAS DE PIES. Callos inflamados.
Pies dbiles con grandes superficies callosas en la planta que se vuelve sensible impidiendo
el apoyo perfecto. Esta sensibilidad ha servido como sntoma para prescribir este
remedio en algunos casos de reumatismo crnico. Otros medicamentos tienen la planta
del pie muy sensible; BAR. CARB., LED. PAL., LYCOP., Y MEDORR.
La ms ligera presin producir una callosidad EN LA PLANTA DE LOS PIES, o al menos

un punto doloroso. En algunas personas hay tendencia al espesamiento de la piel de la
planta de los pies, que les produce extrema sensibilidad que provoca dolor al caminar
Piel
En la piel tiene ART. CRUD. gran actuacin. Erupciones vesiculosas rojas y dolorosas.
(ANT. TART. en menor grado). Gran tendencia caracterstica a INDURACIN
CORNEA, ESPESAMIENTO. En la planta de los pies, se forman capas que renacen si
son cortadas. COMEZN, ERITEMAS, erupciones semejantes a picazn de ortiga
acompaando frecuentemente a los sntomas gstricos.
Erupciones con costras duras, espesas, como miel; la piel se resquebraja fcilmente, y ello es
muy marcado en fosas nasales y comisuras de labios y prpados lo que nos recuerda a
GRAPH. Transpiracin abundante, sobre todo nocturna, agotadora, tal como la que
podemos hallar en una enfermedad lenta. Sudores por el menor ejercicio; si el paciente
est expuesto a un pequeo exceso de calor, se pone a transpirar abundantemente y luego
toma fro con facilidad.

ANTIMONIUM CRUDUM (Kent)
Se sorprender al estudiar las pruebas de esta sustancia, el observar que todos los sntomas se
centralizan en el estmago; no interesa que clase de molestias sufre, ya que la vscera se
perturba y aparece la nusea; cuando tiene dolor de cabeza le duele el estmago; y, de
otra forma, siempre que aparecen all desrdenes est enfermo. Molestias que se
manifiestan a travs del estmago muy frecuentemente necesitan esta medicina.
De primordial importancia son los sntomas mentales que muestran la clase de constitucin
que parecera necesitar este remedio. Produce un estado muy grave en la mente,
ausencia de deseos de vivir. Es bien sabido para los mdicos que el caso es grave si el
paciente no tiene deseos de vivir; la vida es una carga. Cuando escucho decir a un
paciente: "Oh, doctor, si yo pudiera solamente morir". No me gusta tal caso. Hay un
profundo problema asentado en la economa que es difcil eliminar. Algo se hace, y
cuando el paciente consulta es comn verlo realmente morir. "Renuente a la vida".
Encontrar esto especialmente en una fiebre grave, lenta, continua como tifoidea. Este
remedio tiene toda la postracin de tifoidea, y posee la clase de fiebre continuada, as
como la intermitente y remitente. La postracin es similar a Arsenicum, pero este
medicamente tiene un abrumador temor de morir, mientras que Antimonium posee
aversin a la vida; y as ambas se separan. Ars. posee mucha impaciencia, este remedio
es raramente inquietante. Ars. tiene una intensa sed, este medicamento no. As aunque
ambas medicinas tienen un excesivo agotamiento con fiebre continua, poseen
caractersticas suficientemente distintas para poder diferenciarlas. Tifoidea ser
observada algunas veces en jovencitas durante la pubertad quienes estn amenazadas de
contraer clorosis. Ellas tienen temor de la vida, pero es una aversin histrica a la vida.
Momentos de gran extenuacin, repentinos ataques de debilidad y desmayos. Muy
comnmente encontrar otra caracterstica con esto, la cual no aparece simultneamente
pero alternando, o presentndose por momentos, es decir, en jovencitas muy excitables,
nerviosas, histricas, en xtasis, sntomas producidos por suaves luces tales como las
que fluyen a travs de ventanas de vidrio de color o de la luna vespertina. Esto es lo que
se quiere significar cuando se lee en el texto: "Sentimentalismo a la luz de la luna". Es
un estado histrico, una desordenada explosin de afecto, despertada en uno cuyo
sistema nervioso est desequilibrado. Esta clase de paciente nos da el estado mental y
constitucin del Ant. crud., y extendiendo tales afecciones mentales las condiciones
fsicas pareceran paralizar el estmago, por decirlo as.
Hemos considerado a este remedio en su estado general que usted debe tener en mente, esto
es, gota o estado reumtico, en los que los sntomas cambian con el estado del tiempo;
peor con el fro, clima hmedo, peor con baos fros, mejor con el calor de un bao
caliente, peor cuando se toma vino agrio, y peor cuando se ingieren estimulantes de
cualquier naturaleza. Cuando se usa la expresin "peor cuando se bebe vino" no es
solamente saber que el paciente empeora con el vino, sino las caractersticas de los
dolores que empeoran con el vino. Este paciente se intoxica fcilmente, pero los
sntomas fsicos estn ms trastornados que los mentales; sus sntomas de gota son
peores al ingerir vino cido; todas las molestias y dolores se agravan, as como
cefalalgias, y perturbaciones gstricas.
Este paciente est peor durante la noche, con clima hmedo, peor con humedad y fro,
mejora si permanece quieto, si se le aplica calor, pero empeora cuando est muy
acalorado en un ambiente clido. Muchos de los trastornos se agudizan con los rayos
del sol y por el calor de un fogn libre. El fuego est completamente en contra del
paciente de Ant. crud. Un nio con tos convulsa toser ms al mirar el fuego.
Tales cosas son extraas; pero no hay teoras filosficas para explicarlas.
La naturaleza de la gota parece cambiar tan repentinamente que usted se pregunta de dnde
han aparecido los sntomas externos, de pronto, todos a la vez, durante una noche o un
da, el paciente comienza a vomitar persistentemente, durando das y semanas, hasta
que los sntomas de gota vuelven a las extremidades. Es maravilloso cun rpido se
produce esto, cambiando de un lugar a otro. La gota cesa repentinamente en las
extremidades y aparecen sntomas en el estmago, y usted puede llamar a esto gota en
el estmago, si lo desea.
Se observan sntomas de catarro en este remedio, en la nariz, estmago, recto, etc., y un

incremento de fluido de mucus proveniente de cualquiera de estos rganos luego de
tomar vino cido o enfriarse. Una caracterstica penosa del catarro es la nariz llena por
la noche, as como tambin tan pronto como entra a un lugar muy caluroso. La coriza
tiende a tornarse crnica, debido a la circulacin lenta y a una constitucin dbil.
Cuando se torna crnico es peor durante la noche y se relaciona con dolores de cabeza.
Al ablandarse el catarro y tornarse seco, las cefaleas empeoran; el paciente sufre de
neuralgia, dolores opresivos y enfermedades de estmago con vmitos. A menudo tiene
un dolor de cabeza enfermizo denominado gastrtico, pero las afecciones mencionadas
aparecen luego de haber tomado fro, el cual ablanda las secreciones espesas de la nariz
y el aire inhalado arde en la nariz como fuego. Algunas veces estos trastornos
desaparecen luego de un perodo de vmitos; otras veces no, pero la cefalea puede
durar das sin aliviarse por vmitos, o mejorar luego de devolver abundantemente. El
dolor de cabeza es peor con el movimiento y durante las noches, pero mejora cuando se
recuesta, o permanece quieto, al aire libre. Tambin empeora en habitaciones clidas,
cuando hay calor radiado y a la luz. Ud. ve ahora como el catarro, el dolor de cabeza y
los sntomas gstricos aparecen todos juntos y Ud. debe prescribir para el hombre en su
totalidad.
Hay otro sntoma importante de las mucosas, es el de expeler una exudacin lechosa y
blanca especialmente sobre la lengua, que se cubre casi totalmente, indicio
patogneumnico de Antimonium crudum. Aparecen desrdenes estomacales en los
nios, con fiebre gstrica, dolores con fiebre y muchos vmitos, gran irritacin de todo
el sistema nervioso, y del estmago en la fiebre tifoidea, la lengua aparecer blanca. Con
las ms leves provocaciones tendr arcadas y asco. Todo parecera trastornarlo. Tiene
aversin a la comida; el solo pensamiento u olor de la comida lo molesta. Es como
Arsenicum.
Si toma un bao fro por la noche antes de acostarse se levanta por la maana afnico. Esto
se produce aparentemente sin dolores; no sabe que le ha sucedido hasta que trata de
hablar por la maana. Algunas veces los resfros descienden a la garganta y a la trquea,
produciendo una bronquitis y hasta pulmona.
Tos espasmdica y seca que termina en un paroxismo. Explicar esto: el primer paroxismo
se produce con gran violencia, con todos sus sntomas, pero disminuye hasta terminar
en una tos que no es paroxismal. Cuando esta primera tos sacude todo el cuerpo,
estruendosa, y la lengua est blanca, con perturbaciones gstricas, Ant. crud. es el
remedio. Este medicamento cambiar todo el aspecto del caso al instante. El pecho
permanece dolorido, estropeado y estrujado debido a la violencia de la tos.
Los sntomas estomacales deben ser particularmente considerados. Nuseas constantes,

sintiendo todo el tiempo su estmago sobrecargado, como si hubiera comido mucho,
aunque no haya tomado alimento. Se le siente distendido y vomita espeso, con arcadas
prolongadas, nusea, pesadez en el estmago que no se alivia y hay una creciente
extenuacin.
Inflamacin y pesadez en el hgado o en cualquier porcin del mismo Dolores en la regin

de la vejiga. Molestias al hgado, con dolores desgarradores en la zona. Algunas veces
hay ictericia relacionada con estos sntomas.
Dolores abdominales violentos, ardor, gran distensin; parecera que hubiera un aumento de
distensin como si fuera un tornillo, haciendo bajar gradualmente algo, por la fuerza,
que gradualmente aumenta la tensin. Encontramos este estado en el timpanismo de la
tifoidea, en las flatulencias, as como en diarreas estivales. Estar relacionado con
sntomas gstricos y la lengua blanca especialmente si tales perturbaciones han
aparecido luego de ingerir vino cido o por tomar un bao fro, en un paciente gotoso,
donde los ndulos en los ligamentos de los dedos se tornan indoloros y el estmago e
intestinos se distienden y duelen.
Este remedio acarrea una indescriptible diarrea, lquida. Diarrea que proviene del vino
cido. Apresuramiento para defecar y evaca una pequea masa y lquido, y otra vez se
apura a defecar y pasan ms masa y lquido y esto se convierte en diarrea estival hasta
que finalmente se establece un gran tenesmo. Es una diarrea que finaliza en disentera;
inflamacin del recto y del colon, con sufrimiento, mucho tenesmo, prolongados
esfuerzos y gran decaimiento.
Problemas de hemorroides en viejos gotosos. Estn siempre doloridas e inflamadas cuando

hace fro, en das hmedos, por baos fros y empeoran si el paciente es
suficientemente tonto como para ingerir vino cido o comida inadecuada. El estmago,
intestinos, recto y afecciones hemorroidales se tornan peores al desordenar el estmago
con vino cido, fruta o sustancias indigestas, por baos fros y clima hmedo.
Las vsceras plvicas se relajan, especialmente en las mujeres, tanto que aparecen cadas en
la pelvis. Aparece prolapso en el tero y un flujo parecido a leucorrea. Distintos
trastornos durante el periodo menstrual. Ovarios irritables y doloridos, tales como
aquellos que encontramos relacionados con jvenes histricas; que sufren de afecciones
desconocidas, sueos.
Esta medicina produce transpiracin abundante, agotadora, noches con transpiracin como
las encontradas en enfermedades de consuncin. Se transpira al ms leve esfuerzo. Si
est ligeramente acalorado hierve de sudor y luego toma fro .
La piel est ulcerada y tiene una tendencia a que aparezcan verrugas, callosidades, uas
malformadas. Fuertes excrecencias callosas crecen debajo de las uas y son
extremadamente dolorosas. La ms leve presin producir una callosidad, o un lugar de
dolor, y en hombres que trabajan encontrar una tendencia poco usual a espesarse la piel
de la planta de los pies. Son muy dolorosos para caminar, porque estos lugares callosos
son sensibles y tienen numerosos centros de corneificacin. La tendencia a
desarrollarse e indurar pertenece al remedio. Se forman verrugas sobre las manos. El
cabello enferma. Pstulas sobre la piel con aureolas coloradas. Las erupciones
pustulosas tienen una base roja, inflamada y sensible.
Ahora, si estudia los resultados y aprende las peculiaridades del remedio, y los coloca
dentro de este armazn, entender algo de Ant. crud.
ANTIMONIUM CRUDUM (Farrington)
Antimonium crudum tiene relacin, con Bryonia, Ipeca, Nux vm., y Pulsatilla con
Chamomilla, con Sulphur, Arsenicum y Hepar. Con Ranunculus bulbosus, y con Arethusa
cynapium.
En este esquema no he colocado al medicamento complementario de Antimonium

crudum. Se ha dicho que Scilla es su complementario, pero yo no lo he comprobado.
Cuando Antimonium crudum est indicado, encontramos sntomas mentales bastante

prominentes. Con frecuencia es usado en los nios, cuando stos son enojadizos y
displicentes; no permiten ni que se les vea. Si se trata de un adulto, estar malhumorado y
triste, casi como el paciente de Pulsitilla. En algunos casos hay un estado mental
ligeramente ertico, juntamente con eretismo sexual. El enfermo llega a ponerse esttico y
se imagina que alguna bella mujer es el objeto de su amor sentimental.
En los nios, este estado mental displicente, va asociado a un estado nauseoso, cara
caliente, roja y pulso irregular; el nio se enoja, sobre todo cuando se le baa en agua fra,
no tanto cuando se hace en agua caliente; a menudo, tratndose de nios, este estado va
asociado a sntomas gstricos.
Estos sntomas en Antimonium son notables; responde al catarro gstrico, ya sea

resultado de un enfriamiento o de una alimentacin impropia. En primer lugar, la lengua
est cubierta de blanco, siendo esta capa propensa a extenderse sobre todo al dorso de la
misma, habindose comparado a una pintura de cal. La lengua puede estar seca y muchas
veces est como en Bryonia. Algunas ocasiones encontramos esta capa blanca con un
ligero tinte amarillento, especialmente en la parte posterior de la lengua; otras veces los
bordes de sta estarn sensibles y rojos; a menudo hay acumulacin de moco amarillento
en la faringe. Tambin hay nusea y vmito, este ltimo muy marcado, presentndose tan
pronto como el nio como o bebe.
Antimonium crudum es til particularmente en el vmito por recargo gstrico; por

ingerir substancias indigestas; por el abuso de los alimentos grasosos, cidos, vinos agrios,
vinagres, etc. y por el excesivo calor del verano, las substancias vomitadas son de
alimentos y tratndose de nios muy pequeos los vmitos consisten en leche cortada. El
apetito est disminudo; puede haber clico, en cuyo caso, casi siempre hay exceso de
scido rico. en la orina. Los intestino tambin estn afectados; con frecuencia hay
diarrea; la evacuacin es acuosa y contiene pequeas bolas de materias fecales. La diarrea
empeora por el vinagre y por los cidos, por baarse en agua fra y por el exceso de calor.
Si hay constipacin, como puede suceder, cuando el vmito predomina, las evacuaciones
consistirn en masas blancas, duras y secas, teniendo el aspecto como de leche coagulada
y no digerida. en los adultos, especialmente en los ancianos, pues Antimonium crudum se
adapta a ambos extremos de la vida, alternan la constipacin y la diarrea, expulsando las
materias fecales en forma de bolas duras cuando hay constipacin; y cuando se presenta la
diarrea es acuosa con bolas fecales.
Vamos ahora a establecer distinciones entre Antimonium crudum y sus medicamentos

concordantes: Aethusa cynapium, es nuestro medicamento principal en el vmito de leche
cortada en los nios, durante la denticin o en otras ocasiones. Las materias son vomitadas
"con fuerza" y el vmito agota al paciente; el nio cae en profundo sueo; despierta, come
nuevamente y vomita. En Antimonium crudum el nio est hambriento tan pronto como
vomita la leche. Aethusa se adapta a los casos graves cuando ha habido postracin por una
larga temporada de psima higiene alimenticia, por las afecciones de verano o por
trastornos de la denticin. He sabido que Aethusa mejora el dolor y la irritacin de las
encas en el perodo de la denticin de los nios cuando el vmito es un sntoma
prominente.
Como Antimonium crudum, Ipecacuanha produce vmitos despus de las comidas,

despus de toser o ingerir cidos; de aqu que se adapte a casos semejantes. Pero
Ipecacuanha generalmente tiene ms nusea que Antimonium crudum; el vmito y el
arqueo predominan en Antimonium crudum, la nusea en Ipecacuanha. Este ltimo
medicamento generalmente tiene la lengua limpia o muy ligeramente sucia, en tanto que el
primero tiene una capa gruesa blanca.
Bryonia es semejante a Antimonium crudum; tambin tiene la lengua blanca, boca seca
y hay constipacin; se adapta al catarro gstrico por exceso de comidas, en las personas de
temperamento irritable. Sin embargo, la lengua de Bryonia es un poco diferente de la de
Antimonium crudum, pues es blanca en el centro y sus bordes estn limpios. En fin, la
evacuacin que produce Bryonia es grande, dura, seca y de color caf; si hay idarrea, es
ftida, acuosa y huele como a queso aejo.
Otro medicamento ms y es Pulsatilla. tambin en l encontramos semejanzas en el

estado mental; los dos estn indicados en los achaques gstricos, consecutivos a la
ingestin de carne de cerdo; pero Pulsatilla no tiene el vmito caracterstico de
Antimonium y la evacuacin es generalmente verdosa, verde-amarillenta y pegajosa; se
adapta especialmente a los casos originados por un rgimen mixto abundante, como
helados, galletas, pasteles, etc. Antimonium crudum tiene marcada accin sobre la piel y
las uas, cuando su desarrollo es deficiente; si despus de un accidente se ha desprendido
la ua, sta no sana luego y crece partida y gruesa. Obra sobre la piel produciendo gruesas
excrescencias callosas. Confrecuencia est indicado en las erupciones eczematosas,
cuando la piel tiene este carcter.
Tambin he hecho uso de esta droga en el tratamiento del casco hendido de mi propio
caballo.
Los nios que necesitan de Antimonium crudum, frecuentemente sufren de erupcin,

consistiendo sta en costras de color amarillo como el de la miel de abejas; son gruesas,
justamente como las hemos visto en las callosidades; la porcin de la piel afectada, se raja
rpidamente; esto es particularmente notable en las ventanas de la nariz y en las comisuras
de la boca.
Conozco un caso de difteria curado con Antimonium crudum, cuando los sntomas se
presentaron en la forma siguiente: el nio estaba enojadizo, quejndose y llorando
simplemente porque se le vela; esto suceda especialmente al despertar; haba costras
alrededor de las ventanas de la nariz y en las comisuras de la boca. Antimonium crudum no
solamente las removi, sino que cur el caso. Los ojos se irritan por cualquier resplandor
brillante, como el del sol o el de una llama intensa, recordndonos esto a Mercurius.
Antimonium crudum se distingue de Graphites por el hecho de que la desolladura se
confina a la comisura del ojo, en tanto que en Graphites invade todo el borde libre de los
prpados.
Sobre los rganos genitales femeninos, Antimonium crudum tiene alguna accin. Es de
utilidad en el prolapso uterino, cuando hay una sensacin de constante pesantez, como si
alguna cosa se estuviera jalando hacia afuera de la vagina; sensibilidad a nivel de la regin
ovrica, particularmente cuando la menstrucin ha sido suprimida por un bao fro; la
leucorrea es acuosa y contiene pequeos grumos.
Hay otro uso que mencionar de Antimonium Crudum para terminar su estudio, y es en
los adultos afectados de gota. Presta utilidad especialmente cuando la gota ha llegado a
hacerse constitucional; habr nudos gotosos en varias articulaciones; en esto es de
verdadera utilidad, teniendo en cuenta siempre que deben estar presentes los sntomas
gstricos del medicamento, pues de otro modo fallar.

Caractersticas.- Antim. crud. corresponde en un sentido a la raza de los puercos, como

Arsenic. a los caballos y Pulsatilla a los borregos. Es preeminentemente un
medicamento escrofuloso, corresponde a las constituciones gruesas con tendencia a la
piel spera escamosa con placas crneas. Con estas placas crneas hay gran
sensibilidad, el paciente apenas puede tolerar caminar con ellos. Anlogos a estas
excrecencias crneas, son las verrugas y Ant. crud. ha curado muchos casos de estos.
Un estudiante de 17 aos, tena veintitres en la mano derecha y treinta y cuatro en la
izquierda, principalmente en el dorso de los dedos, y pocos en cara anterior de los
dedos. Agregado, enrojecimiento e inflamacin de los prpados. Curado en siete
semanas con Ant. crud. 200. En la misma categora debe mencionarse la tendencia de
las uas a crecer partidas. Ant. crud. se adapta especialmente a infantes y nios (con
lengua saburral blanca hmeda) y tambin a personas de edad. Tendencia a crecer
gordos. Cuando los sntomas recurren tienden a cambiar de lugar o ir de un lado del
cuerpo al otro. Predomina el lado izquierdo, especialmente inferior izquierdo a superior
derecho. Entre los sntomas especiales estn: Prurito en cuero cabelludo y cada del
cabello. Tendencia a resfros. Oftalma escrofulosa, afectado especialmente el canto
(Graph. todo el margen). Otorrea. Erupciones hmedas detrs de las orejas (Graph. ).
Sobresaltos por ruidos ligeros. Epistaxis con vrtigo; despus de cefalea; despus de
aflujo de sangre a la cabeza. Nios son de mal humor, no toleran que los toquen o que
los miren. Los adultos son de mal humor o tristes. Lloran e impresionables. Humor
sentimental a la luz de la luna. Amoroso. Suicida. Fiebre gstrica e intermitente, y
fiebre de los nios, con gran sed y la caracterstica lengua blanca. La fiebre es alta en
las noches. El nio est de mal humor, pero a diferencia de Cham. que quiere que lo
carguen, ste gritar y mostrar mal humor a cada pequea atencin. Hay una forma de
diarrea que alterna con constipacin, frecuente en personas de edad, al que corresponde
Ant. crud . "Estmago dbil, digestin fcilmente alterada, en personas de edad." Cura
muchos casos de hemorroides mucosas; continuamente rezuman y tien la ropa. En
relacin con la intolerancia del vino del medicamento, se debe mencionar que en un
caso produjo una sensacin de intoxicacin como la del alcohol, as que la paciente
rehus tomar ms de l. Un nmero de sntomas nerviosos aparecen en los
experimentadores inquietud, sacudidas de los msculos, etc. El Dr. M. Jousset registr
un caso severo de corea que resista los medicamentos usuales y fue curado con Ant.
crud., prescrito sobre la base de los sntomas digestivos, particularmente la
caracterstica lengua blanca. Una notable caracterstica de Ant. crud. es la lengua
saburral gruesa. Generalmente es gruesa y blanca, blanca lechosa, o como blanqueada.
Los bordes pueden ser rojos y adoloridos. Orificios nasales y ngulos de la boca
adoloridos, fisurados y costrosos. Hambre anormal, no mejorada por comer; vaco en
epigastrio y falta de calor animal. Aversin por todos los alimentos. Nios
amamantando arrojan una poca de leche cida tan pronto como toman el pecho o la
botella (Aethus. c., despus de vomitar el nio duerme y despierta con hambre; Ant.
crud. rehusa comer otra vez). El elemento SULFUR en Ant. crud. es fuertemente
pronunciado en los experimentadores, como es la constipacin y otros trastornos
intestinales del medicamento. < por el calor, es una caracterstica marcada (Apis, Puls.,
Cham., Secale, Camph. ); tambin < por lavado fro (menos severo despus de lavado

Anthracinum (Hering)
The alcoholic extract of the anthrax poison prepared from the spleen of cattle befallen with
the disease.
A nosode rejected by the Old School, and by a majority of the New, in spite of its being a
remedy which bears out our theory, and one which has proved of the utmost use in practice.
It has not yet been proved, but the frequent use made of it by some of our best practitioners
justifies its reception.
The first preparation was made according to C. Hg's propositions (laid down in Stapf's
Archives, 1830), by Dr. G. A. Weber, and applied with the most astonishing success in the
cattle plague.
He cured every case with it, and also men poisoned by the contagium.
His report, a small treatise of 114 pages, was published in 1836, by Reclam, Leipzig.
No notice was taken of it.
Only the talented Dr. P. Dufresne, the founder of the Bibliothque Homoeopathique, of
Geneva (see eulogium by Grieselich, in Hygea, VI., p. 351, 352), used it, and prevented the
further murderous spread of the disease, in a flock of sheep (among which it is always more
fatal than among other domestic animals), and cured the shepherds as well (Biblioth.
Homoeop. de Geneve, Jan. and Feb., 1837).
The discovery of the bacteria and their incredibly rapid propagation seemed to be of much
more importance than the cure of cattle, and the loss of millions of dollars by this disease.
In 1842 France sustained a loss of over seven millions of francs, and every year a small
district of Germany has a loss of sixty thousand thalers from the cattle plague; in Siberia, in
1785, 100.000 horses died with it; in 1800 one small district lost 27.000 horses.
Radiate heat, proposed scores of years ago, for other zymotic diseases, by C. Hg., was
discovered, in a very ingenious way, by Pasteur, to prevent the increase of bacteria.
Now the heat (as it has done in hydrophobia), and the nosode may suffice to cure every
case.
Dr. Ksemann had moral courage enough to introduce Anthracine in gangrene and
sphacelus, in 1853, and Doctor Raue has given it in carbuncles since 1858.
See his Pathology and Diagnosis, and in gangrenic whitlow, see Journal of clinics, 4, 142.
The symptoms of a case of glander poisoning, prominent among them blue boils, in a
Veterinary, cured with Anthracinum[30] (Tafel's preparation), by Knerr, are added.
All symptoms produced by the poison on men are inserted, because the symptoms from the
snake-bite and from the bee-sting have been proved to be useful in numerous cases; they
are marked.

Anthracokali (Hering)
A very absurd combination; anthracite coal of a certain kind, dissolved in boiling caustic
potash, invented by Joseph Polya, in Pesth, in 1835; proved on many people, but in a very
superficial way.
Applied according to Old School notions, but seldom alone.
Polya was followed by several others, and in 1839 a thesis by one C. F. Klinger; in 1840,
an extract by our Dr. G. Piper, in the A. H. Z., Vol.
XVIII., p. 235 and 253.
It was mentioned as a "renal" remedy by Reil, the forerunner of Sharp, of organopathic
notoriety, and in 1849 Chapman mentions it as having been "useful", but says nothing but
"herpes.
" It has never been much regarded and was of very little use.
The Old School made one of their experiments in 1841, and gave it to eight hundred
patients with "tetter", in the Vienna hospital, without success.

ms efecto en la piel causando un rash escarlata y edema. Una joven seora que tom
Antipyrin por s misma, nunca pens que iba a tener cefalea, desarroll intensa
dismenorrea (que nunca haba tenido) con depresin. Esto se quit cuando ella
descontinu el medicamento. Ms tarde ella tom Phenacetin que ocasion un eritema
que apareci en ambas mejillas, que se despellejaron despus de pocos das y recurri
persistentemente. Parece por lo anterior, que el medicamento es homeoptico en alguna
forma, al menos, en la neuralgia. Un paciente tuvo respiracin de Cheyne-Stokes.
Eritema parece primero en la cara y brazos, al final en las piernas. Hansen menciona su
uso en enuresis y epistaxis. > por bebidas calientes.

nuestros mejores remedios en estados de nuseas. La nusea es tan intensa como la de
Ipeca, pero menos persistente, y es mejorada por el vmito" (Clarke). Nuseas mortales
con gran ansiedad, miedo e inquietud, sudores frontales; continuas, con gran
repugnancia, peor al ver la comida. Arcadas con vmitos muy dificultosos, dolorosos,

22 a 1 a.m., por la menor ingestin de alimentos o por bebidas calientes, obligndolo a
sentarse en la cama (Con., Puls., Phos.) (sostenido por otra persona por su gran
debilidad) con nuseas y vmitos, mejor eructando, con muy escasa o ninguna
expectoracin. Asfixia plida del recin nacido (Camph.): el nio nace plido, no respira,

ANTIMONIUM TARTARICUM
Antimonium tartaricum conviene sobre todo a las edades extremas de la vida, en el momento
en que la vitalidad no est an bien asegurada en el beb, o cuando comienza a
desaparecer en el viejo. El enfermo no se defiende, o se defiende mal. Encontraris
siempre en la indicacin de Antimonium tartaricum una debilidad constante.
Cules son estas caractersticas? La depresin, la debilidad, el estado nauseoso, la fiebre.

A) La depresin
Se manifiesta por una tendencia invencible al sueo, tendencia que puede ir desde el simple
sopor hasta un verdadero estado de estupor vecino al coma. El sopor de Antimonium
tartaricum se encuentra en todas las afecciones respiratorias que justifiquen su empleo:
en la congestin pulmonar, en la bronconeumona, tanto en los nios como en los viejos.
Existen diferentes remedios del sopor, a saber:
Aetusa cynapium. El nio de Aetusa cynapium presenta una caracterstica: intolerancia

completa para la leche. Desde que la traga, enseguida la vomita. Pero tiene dos maneras
de vomitarla:o bien vomita la leche lquida tan pronto como la ha ingerido, o lo hace
unos instantes despus bajo la forma de gruesos cogulos cidos. Los vmitos son muy
bruscos y violentos. Tan pronto como el enfermo se adormece, cae en una especie de
postracin. El nio de Aetusa no tiene solamente vmitos, presenta tambin diarrea
pegajosa y verdusca. Tan pronto como el beb hace la deposicin, cae en sopor.
Opium. El enfermo de Opium presenta una tendencia invencible al sueo y est

constantemente adormecido. Presenta otro carcter extremadamente importante:
trastornos respiratorios anlogos a los de Antimonium tartaricum. La respiracin no es
solamente ruidosa, sino tambin "estertorosa". Opium no presenta solamente
somnolencia, sino tambin prdida del conocimiento; debis recordar a Opium cada vez
que estis en presencia de un estado apopltico, o de un coma acompaado de una
respiracin estertorosa, con cara vultuosa y latidos de las arterias.
La somnolencia de Opium se encuentra tambin en los enfermos que no tienen accidentes

agudos sino simplemente constipacin. En este caso la somnolencia aparece por la
maana o en el da, desde que el enfermo se calma o se sienta. Estis en presencia de una
constipacin por atona intestinal, el enfermo no tiene ningn deseo de evacuar y expulsa
difcilmente escbalos negros y duros.
Nux moschata. Tiene tambin sopor. No se trata aqu de un estado agudo con fiebre, ni de
constipacin crnica; el individuo tiene dificultad para mantenerse despierto y tambin
para mantener despiertos su espritu y su inteligencia. Permanece en un rincn sin decir
una sola palabra; todo le parece indiferente, no piensa en nada. Observaris algunas
veces este estado en mujeres jvenes o en nias calificadas de histricas, que han
experimentado un gran choque moral, un gran disgusto, y que permanecen hundidas en si
mismas. El humor es muy cambiante con alternancias de risas y de llanto. La enferma
tiene una tendencia a encontrarse mal, pierde el conocimiento por nada. Presenta,
adems, otros dos pequeos sntomas interesantes para el homepata: la sequedad de la
boca y la ausencia de sed (Pulsatilla, Gelsemium).
B) La debilidad
Volvamos al remedio estudiado. El sopor de Antimonium tartaricum no es el resultado de un
agotamiento, como Aetusa, o de una tendencia al coma o una intoxicacin digestiva,
como Opium, o de un estado neuroptico, como Nux moschata; est estrechamente
ligado a un estado de debilidad que se acompaa de diversos pequeos sntomas que es
necesario conocer bien: temblores: desde que el enfermo quiere hacer un gesto, por
ejemplo, llevar un vaso a su boca, se pone a temblar; paresia de los miembros: no puede
tenerse de pie; paresia de las fibras lisas: no puede expulsar las mucosidades que le
obstruyen el pulmn. Tiene muchos estertores, pero muy poca expectoracin. Qu
resulta de esta dificultad de expulsar las mucosidades? Una tendencia asfxica que se
traduce por un signo objetivo: el estado ciantico de la cara.
La debilidad de Antimonium tartaricum no solamente se acompaa de temblores y de paresia

sino tambin de vrtigos. La cabeza del enfermo cae cuando ste trata de levantarla de la
almohada y es atacada de vrtigos.
Si proyectis imaginativamente los sntomas caractersticos de un remedio sobre un sujeto,

realizaris el cuadro sintomtico particular del remedio. En el caso de Antimonium
tartaricum, el enfermo no puede levantarse sobre sus brazos porque no tiene fuerzas; no
puede levantar la cabeza sobre la almohada sin tener vrtigos; no puede expectorar
porque sus fibras lisas estn completamente paralizadas o no puede expulsar las
mucosidades que embarazan sus pulmones.
C) El estado nauseoso
Las nuseas de Antimonium tartaricum son constantes y se acompaan de un malestar

caracterizado por una verdadera angustia y por algunos trastornos vasomotores: el
enfermo tiene la cara plida y sudores fros.
A medida que el enfermo vomita se siente peor. Dos remedios principales de vmitos: Ipeca
y Antimonium tartaricum.
Ipeca no se mejora por los vmitos, pero Antimonium tartaricum se encuentra mucho ms
enfermo a medida que vomita porque los vmitos lo fatigan. Por qu? Porque hace
mucho esfuerzo. Y qu expulsa el enfermo? No solamente el contenido de su estmago
-no puede contener nada-, sino mucosidades que ha tragado, ya que no puede expectorar.
Cuando tose, apenas llega a expectorar algo, el resto de las mucosidades son expulsadas
por los vmitos. Nada los calma. La tisana, el t, una gota de agua son devueltos por el
enfermo, quien siempre tiene la impresin de que va a morir, porque, a medida que
vomita, se encuentra cada vez ms deprimido, ms fatigado. Pensad siempre que el
enfermo de Antimonium tartaricum est muy deprimido: es un enfermo encamado.
Sin embargo, el vmito de Antimonium tartaricum puede mejorar cuando el enfermo se

acuesta sobre el lado derecho.
D) La fiebre
Antimonium tartaricum es un remedio de estado agudo, de enfermedad aguda. A decir
verdad, este remedio no presenta ninguna regularidad en sus manifestaciones trmicas.
Generalmente la fiebre aparece ms elevada a las 3 de la tarde, o hacia las 6 p.m., pero
sobre todo a las 3. El estadio de calor y el de escalofro no se acompaan de sed. Ahora
recordis que hemos descrito en Antimonium crudum una alternancia de escalofros y de
sudores. Esto no existe en Antimonium tartaricum. Lo que existe son los sudores, que
son extremadamente abundantes. Durante el paroxismo de la fiebre el enfermo no puede
tener los ojos abiertos. Encontris aqu la caracterstica sealada al principio: el sopor, la
somnolencia. A veces el enfermo duerme realmente. Mientras que no est bajo la
influencia de la fiebre, por ejemplo, en las horas matinales, despus de medianoche, el
enfermo est completamente desesperado y sin fuerza, siente que sus fuerzas se agotan.
E) Los signos objetivos
No hay que olvidar jams los signos objetivos. Si conocis suficientemente la materia mdica
observaris que el enfermo "significa" por s mismo el remedio que debe ser prescrito.
Existen dos signos objetivos de Antimonium tartaricum:
La respiracin ruidosa: El hecho de escuchar la respiracin del enfermo al entrar en su

habitacin debe llamar vuestra atencin sobre la posibilidad de prescribir este remedio; el
enfermo tiene numerosos estertores en el pecho sin expectoracin.
La posicin misma del sujeto en su cama: Trata de sentarse porque sus pulmones se
congestionan (hay, por ejemplo, una bronconeumona o una congestin pulmonar), pero
no puede permanecer sentado porque su cabeza cae de un lado y del otro; se desliza en la
cama y no tiene fuerzas para mantenerse. Lo mantienen acuado con almohadas a
derecha y a izquierda.
Hay otro remedio que presenta esta misma debilidad: Muriatic acidum, pero ste no es un
enfermo respiratorio, es un enfermo digestivo, profundamente infectado, en un estado de
adinamia excesiva. Tiene tambin necesidad de permanecer sentado; pero no necesita
que le coloquen almohadas puesto que su mal no es pulmonar, aunque tambin se desliza
en el fondo de su cama. El enfermo de Muriatic acidum est abatido, postrado, tiene los
ojos semicerrados, la mandbula colgante; y la caracterstica objetiva que le pertenece en
propiedad: la lengua est seca, endurecida, como cuero, y casi paralizada. Por otra parte,
se nota una diarrea abundante con heces involuntarias que se producen, ya durante la
miccin o al expulsar gases. La fiebre es elevada. En una palabra, es un estado tfico, o
una verdadera tifoidea.
II. ESTUDIO CLNICO
Hay dos formas a considerar: la forma respiratoria y la forma digestiva.

A) El enfermo respiratorio
Se podra caracterizar con una sola palabra: tiene el "pulmn bloqueado", y no puede
respirar. Adems, presenta una caracterstica esencial: numerosos estertores. A la
auscultacin el pulmn est lleno. El enfermo no expectora sus mucosidades porque no
puede, pero se las traga para luego vomitarlas.
Cmo es su apariencia ? Es un anhelante disneico, con las narices muy dilatadas y animadas
de latidos sincrnicos con los movimientos respiratorios. Pero, en verdad, este sntoma
pertenece a Antimonium tartaricum? O pertenece ms bien a las enfermedades en las
cuales este remedio est indicado? En realidad, un enfermo de Antimonium tartaricum
tiene siempre disnea, latidos de las alas de la nariz y no puede respirar. No se puede decir
que este sntoma sea homeopticamente significativo al mismo ttulo que los otros
caractersticos que os dar en seguida. Este pequeo signo existe en todos los remedios
de afeccin respiratoria aguda, pero tambin en Lycopodium, aunque el enfermo no est
tocado desde el punto de vista respiratorio. Y es entonces solamente cuando este pequeo
signo, desprovisto de sentido clnico, toma un sentido homeoptico o un sentido
teraputico. Cuando os encontris un paciente sin enfermedad pulmonar y que presente
los latidos de las alas de la nariz sincrnicos al movimiento respiratorio, pensad en
Lycopodium.
El enfermo de Antimonium tartaricum se presenta siempre con disnea y un estado ciantico

de la cara porque tiene tendencia a la asfixia: est recubierto de sudores fros y est
postrado y ansioso.Adems, tiene tos. Cmo es la tos? Es espasmdica, sofocante,
diurna y nocturna, pero se han de retener dos modalidades importantes: est en relacin
con la ingestin de los alimentos, slidos o lquidos, y se manifiesta ms hacia las tres de
la maana. Cualquiera que sea el momento o la causa de la tos, el enfermo est obligado
a sentarse en la cama, pero recordad bien la caracterstica: no puede permanecer as, se
desliza a izquierda y derecha porque no puede mantener la cabeza recta, debido a la
debilidad que lo afecta. Os repito la caracterstica esencial: el enfermo debe permanecer
acuado entre almohadas y cojines.
Antimonium tartaricum tiene constantemente nuseas y vmitos. La tos se mejora cuando el

enfermo expulsa gas o eructa. Esto se explica: recordaris que l traga las mucosidades,
aire, y que tiene distensin gstrica; si restituye este aire al exterior se sentir mejor. No
expectora nunca, por decirlo as, pero si expectora, las mucosidades son amarillentas,
espesas y poco abundantes.
En resumen: tos sofocante, disnea, numerosos estertores en los pulmones, expectoracin rara.
Hay otro remedio cuya tos es mejorada no solamente por los eructos sino tambin por la
emisin de gases intestinales: es Sanguinaria. La tos es seca, violenta, producida por un
cosquilleo incesante de la faringe, ms marcado por la noche. Pero este enfermo
expectora esputos rojizos que tienen una pequea caracterstica: son ftidos; su mal olor
es percibido por el enfermo.
No olvidis jams estas pequeas modalidades, sobre todo cuando pertenecen a un solo
remedio, porque ellas os permiten encontrar muy fcilmente la prescripcin teraputica
que se impone.
Lo que domina en Antimonium tartaricum es el estado asfxico del sujeto. La hematosis se
hace mal. No puede expulsar las mucosidades que invaden sus pulmones; su corazn est
molesto, tiene un pulso dbil, rpido, pequeo, tan pequeo que a veces se hace
imperceptible. Cada vez que encontris un pulso muy rpido, dbil e imperceptible,
pensad tambin -sobre todo en las afecciones pulmonares- en Arsenicum. El enfermo de
Antimonium tartrico no presenta ninguna reaccin, es extremadamente dbil: cuando
quiere beber algo o llevar una cucharilla a la boca, inmediatamente se pone a temblar.
Est completamente desmayado.
Presenta otros pequeos sntomas que es necesario conocer. Recordad los vmitos: mientras
ms vomita, peor se siente. La lengua es blanquecina, pero roja en el medio. Os recordis
de la lengua de Antimonium crudum, cargada de un barniz espeso, blanquecino, como si
el enfermo hubiera tomado leche; la de Antimonium tartaricum es blanquecina, pero
presenta en su parte media una raya roja central que permite distinguirla de la de
Antimonium crudum. Todo lo que se presenta al sujeto de Antimonium tartaricum le da
nuseas, an la leche. Puede tomar una sola cosa: bebidas cidas, particularmente
limonada. Recordaris aqu la necesidad de cosas cidas de Antimonium crudum.
Antimonium tartaricum est indicado en las bronconeumonas, en las bronquitis de los nios,
que aparecen durante el tiempo hmedo, en la primavera o en el otoo, por ejemplo, en
los estados congestivos pulmonares de los viejos.
B) El enfermo digestivo
Cmo se presenta el enfermo digestivo? Rara vez encontraris signos digestivos aislados.
Estn generalmente asociados a trastornos pulmonares, porque Antimonium tartaricum
es, sobre todo, un remedio pulmonar.
Estudiemos sus caractersticas, en primer lugar por parte de la lengua: la lengua est cargada,
espesa, pastosa, blanca, los bordes son rojos, en el medio tiene una raya roja y es seca.
Ausencia de sed, el enfermo se irrita an si se incita a beber. Mantiene el gusto de la
leche, y si se le quiere hacer beber una taza de leche, fra o caliente, tiene nuseas que
aumentan sus vmitos; el enfermo slo desea tomar limonada. Un enfermo solamente
digestivo comer papas crudas cidas. Pero fuera de esto, no apetecer ms nada.
Sus vmitos no se mejoran sino cuando se acuesta del lado derecho, sobre el hgado, y son
seguidos de sopor, abatimiento y postracin. Hay que recordar que los vmitos de
Antimonium tartaricum son muy fatigantes porque se producen con muchos esfuerzos; el
enfermo vomita mucosidades abundantes, espesas, tenaces, blanquecinas, difciles de
expulsar, que contienen a veces sangre. No retiene nada de lo que ingiere, ni an el agua.
Si se le da en el momento de la fiebre, no puede tolerarla. Hecho interesante:
Antimonium tartaricum est algunas veces indicado en la lcera del estmago.
Se han hecho muchos experimentos en el Hospital Saint-Jacques, por M. M. Jousset y Lefas.

Encontraris la relacin completa en el Boletn de la Sociedad Anatmica, de mayo y
junio de 1898: Se practican en conejos inyecciones subcutneas de trtaro estibiado,
provocando as lesiones que corresponden exactamente a las ulceraciones gstricas
observadas en enfermos atacados de lcera del estmago. De esta forma, estos autores
han observado que no solamente haba una analoga entre las lesiones anatmicas, sino
que, hecho muy interesante desde el punto de vista teraputico, se podra prescribir a un
enfermo atacado de lcera gstrica muy homeopticamente indicado, ya que su accin a
dosis masiva provocaba experimentalmente en el animal la misma lesin.
El enfermo puede presentar una diarrea coleriforme que se acompaa de dolores abdominales
espasmdicos, as que Antimonium tartaricum puede prescribirse en ciertas diarreas
coleriformes del nio y en las congestiones del hgado. Recordad que el enfermo est
mejor acostado sobre el lado derecho.
La indicacin de Antimonium tartaricum se encuentra igualmente cuando se est en

presencia de una ictericia complicada de congestin pulmonar o de una neumona
derecha complicada de ictericia.
Terminando esta exposicin, podis oponer en vuestra mente: Antimonium crudum y

Antimonium tartaricum. Tanto desde el punto de vista clnico como desde el punto de
vista teraputico, podis diferenciar los dos remedios de una manera muy simple:
El primero es un remedio digestivo sobre todo, cuyos sntomas y caractersticas aparecen por
debajo del diafragma; el segundo es un remedio casi esencialmente respiratorio, cuyas
manifestaciones funcionales y lesionales se presentan por encima del diafragma.
Conviene en casos de bronquitis crnica, en las congestiones pulmonares, las
bronconeumonas, y sobre todo, en las bronconeumonas graves.
ANTIMONIUM TARTARICUM EN LA BRONCONEUMONA
Sera tal vez interesante situar el momento de la prescripcin de Antimonium tartaricum en la

bronconeumona. En presencia de un enfermo agudo pulmonar, existen tres remedios en
los cuales es necesario pensar desde el principio:
Aconitum - Belladonna - Ferrum phos.
Sus indicaciones son muy simples y muy claras:
Aconitum tiene siempre fiebre seca, agitacin, un pulso extremadamente rpido, a veces
irregular, pero siempre lleno y duro.
Caracterstica: El temor de morir del enfermo, que est angustiado.
Belladonna, al contrario, no est agitado, est postrado, abatido, la piel est mojada por el
sudor, el enfermo transpira sobretodo en las regiones cubiertas; si llega a agitarse, es
durante el delirio; ste se presenta siempre de la misma manera: el enfermo tiene el deseo
de escapar de la cama.
Ferrum phos. es intermediario entre Aconitum y Belladonna. El enfermo no presenta

temperatura muy elevada; el estado se manifiesta de manera insidiosa con brotes
congestivos, bocanadas de calor, alternancias de escalofros y sudores. El pulso es
rpido, pero en lugar de ser duro e irregular, como el de Aconitum, o como perdigones de
plomo, como el de Belladonna, es blando y depresible. Esta es su gran caracterstica.
Aconitum no tose. Belladonna, algunas veces. Ferrum phos. tose desde el principio, y, a la
auscultacin, notaris ya un pequeo punto pulmonar (es el principio de una congestin),
mientras que en Aconitum y Belladonna no notaris nada a la auscultacin. He aqu,
pues, tres modos de comienzo de la neumona.
Si estudiamos la forma aguda, forma banal, tenemos tres remedios:
Bryonia - Ipeca - Sulphur
Considerad a un enfermo que presenta fiebre, que sea un Aconitum, Belladonna o Ferrum
phos. Cualquiera que sea la forma clnica observada, puede localizar una puntada de
costado. Este individuo puede estar agitado (Aconitum); abatido (Belladonna), se
mantiene entonces estirado sobre el dorso; pero el estado de Bryonia pronto hace su
aparicin. El enfermo se acuesta sobre el lado atacado porque la gran caracterstica de
Bryonia es buscar la inmovilidad absoluta; al menor movimiento se agrava, tanto en sus
manifestaciones funcionales: molestia respiratoria, disnea, tos, como en el elemento
doloroso. El dolor de Bryonia es siempre mejorado por la presin fuerte y agravado por
el menor movimiento.
El enfermo de Bryonia tose, pero con una tos seca, sin expectoracin. En un momento dado
presenta disnea, una opresin ms fuerte y se ven aparecer en el pulmn estertores finos:
esta ser la indicacin de Ipeca. En este momento el sujeto comienza a expectorar
mucosidades poco abundantes, a veces tiene un poco de dificultad para expulsarlas, pero
vomita y tiene deseos de dormir. Esta tos acompaada de vmitos es de hecho indicativa
de Ipeca.
Ahora bien, debe establecerse una distincin entre Antimonium tartaricum e Ipeca. Este
ltimo no se mejora por los vmitos, sino pasajeramente, luego recomienzan de nuevo
los sntomas. Es el estado nauseoso lo que domina. En Antimonium tartaricum existe
tambin un estado de nauseoso predominante. La diferencia est , sobre todo, en la
auscultacin: El enfermo de Ipeca tiene siempre estertores finos, el de Antimonium
tartaricum tiene gruesos estertores hmedos, que invaden los dos pulmones, si se trata de
una bronquitis extensa, o bien una parte del pulmn, base o vrtice, si se trata de
bronconeumona localizada.
Ipeca, en s, no est muy enfermo; a veces, si el enfermo tose con gran sofocacin, tiende a
sentirse mal, tendr sudores fros, presentar tal vez un estado sincopal, podr an tener
sangre en sus esputos, porque no hay que olvidar que Ipeca es un remedio de
hemorragias (tanto en la mujer que presenta metrorragia, como en el sujeto que tiene
hemoptisis), pero la gran caracterstica de este remedio, que jams Antimonium
tartaricum la revela, cualquiera que sean sus manifestaciones digestivas (vmitos,
nuseas, diarrea), reside en este hecho importante: el sujeto de Ipeca tiene siempre la
lengua limpia. Tal es la caracterstica esencial que basta hacer valer para no confundir los
dos remedios. Por otra parte, desde el punto de vista clnico, si auscultis el pulmn de
Ipeca, encontraris, como os he dicho, pequeos estertores finos, mientras que el
enfermo de Antimonium tartaricum presenta siempre gruesos estertores. Adems, el
enfermo de Ipeca a veces tiene edema pulmonar: el pulmn puede estar bloqueado, pero
el sujeto no har ruido al respirar, aunque est jadeante, con disnea rpida, mientras que
en Antimonium tartaricum se oye la respiracin ruidosa del enfermo al entrar en su
cuarto.
Para curar vuestro enfermo, cuyo estado necesit al principio de Aconitum, Belladonna o
Ferrum, el estadio clnico de Bryonia, con tos seca ya pasada y aquel en el cual se
encontr hepatizacin pulmonar con pequeos estertores fines, que cedi con Ipeca,
prescribiris entonces, para completar, Sulfur, a fin de impedir el paso a la cronicidad y
para evitar que el enfermo haga otro foco. La indicacin caracterstica de Sulfur os la
dar la alternancia de calor y de pequeos brotes febriles y la presencia persistente de un
estado congestivo.
En las formas graves, tres remedios pueden ser. indicados:
Arum triphyllum - Phosphorus - Antimonium t.
Arum es un medicamento extraordinario, sobre todo en el nio; cuando el sujeto comienza a

estar muy enfermo despus de un golpe de fro, ms particularmente si se trata de un
nio tuberculnico, se prescribir en primer lugar Aconitum, no pasar por el estadio de
Bryonia, sino que presentar inmediatamente el estadio de Arum. Es un estado
inquietante: el enfermo tiene una temperatura extremadamente elevada; est abatido y
postrado. Signo objetivo que no aparece sino en l: el sujeto se rasca fuertemente los
labios y nariz hasta sangrar. Tiene los dedos llenos de mucosidades y costras pequeas
sanguinolentas que arranca constantemente. Pero esta no es la nica caracterstica. Se
constata tambin una lengua extremadamente roja, la mucosa de la faringe y de los
carrillos presenta la misma coloracin. En la materia mdica se os dice que estas
mucosas tiene el aspecto de un trozo de carne cruda. Esta apreciacin es exacta.
El enfermo de Arum presenta tambin una coriza, coriza escoriante de las alas de la nariz.
Tiene ronquera, tos muy seca, extremadamente dolorosas. Cuando el nio desea toser,
toma su garganta entre las dos manos para aliviarse.
Pequeo signo objetivo: pequeas manchas lenticulares rojizas sobre la piel.
Arum conviene sobre todo a la forma grave de la bronconeumona, cuando al comienzo de la

enfermedad existe un punto de hepatizacin pulmonar; a la auscultacin hay pocos
estertores. Pero cuando aumenta el foco y los estertores se hacen ms numerosos, tenis
la indicacin de Antimonium tartaricum. Recordad la respiracin ruidosa y el estado
asfxico: muchos estertores, poca expectoracin.
Suponed que el enfermo se agrava an ms, que presenta intensa sofocacin, escasos
esgarros sanguinolentos, que vomita todo cuanto bebe -sin tener un estado nauseoso
persistente-, tendris la indicacin de Phosphorus, el cual no mantiene en el estmago el
agua fra que se le da porque enseguida (al calentarse en el estmago) la vomita.
En fin, cuando el enfermo se mejora, aparece la indicacin de Sulfur, cuya indicacin se hace
siempre al final para impedir el posible retorno de un nuevo foco y acelerar la
convalecencia.
Personalmente jams he tenido la desgracia de registrar ningn caso de muerte en el curso de
una bronconeumona. Estudiad bien vuestros remedios, retened sus caractersticas,
comprended, asimismo, su situacin en el orden sucesivo de los estadios clnicos de una
enfermedad. El esfuerzo que hagis es tal vez difcil, pero estar siempre bien
recompensado.
ANTIMONIUM TARTARICUM (Nash)
Gran acumulacin de mucosidades en las vas areas, con rales gruesos incapacidad
de expectorar; amenaza de parlisis respiratoria.
Cara muy plida o ciantica por oxigenacin deficiente de la sangre.
Gran somnolencia o coma profundo en la mayora de las afecciones.
Intensa nusea y vmitos, acompaados de postracin; frialdad general, sudor fro y

somnolencia.
Temblor: interno, de la cabeza y de las manos.
Erupciones confluentes con elementos semejantes a los de la viruela y a menudo

verdaderamente pustulosos; tan grandes como un guisante.
Modalidades: > por la expectoracin.
Se adapta a ambos extremos de la vida: infancia y vejez.
El nio se aferra a los que estn cerca de l; quiere ser llevado en brazos; llora y gime
si alguien lo toca; no se deja tomar el pulso.
Antimonium tartaricum es otro potente emtico. Recuerdo el tiempo en que los viejos
alpatas lo utilizaban, tan comnmente como los botnicos empleaban Lobelia inflata, para
"limpiar el estmago". Hoy en da la limpieza del estmago por lavaje y del colon y el recto
por enemas, segn el "mtodo de Hall", est bien de moda y es, con todo, mucho ms
sensato, si tenemos en cuenta la endeblez de su teraputica.
A pesar de estos adelantos todava hay mucho de "raspado intestinal" que persiste en
nombre de la "limpieza del organismo", como si el tubo digestivo no estuviese constituido
para atender a su autolimpieza si se lo mantiene o se lo restituye a un estado de salud, sino
que debera ser "limpiado a fondo" regularmente y con cierta frecuencia de conformidad con
los preceptos de la "limpieza de la casa". Ciertamente se trata de una simpleza, pero ellos
hacen lo mejor dentro de lo que conocen.
Ni Antimonium tartaricum, ni ningn otro emtico, es utilizado por nosotros desde el
punto de vista teraputico con el fin de provocar la emesis, pues teraputicamente lo
empleamos de la misma manera que a los dems medicamentos, de acuerdo con el principio
del similia similibus curantur.
La nusea de este remedio es tan intensa como la de Ipecacuanha, pero no tan

persistente, pues se alivia despus del vmito.
He comprobado que est ms cerca que ningn otro remedio de ser un especfico del
clera morbo (naturalmente, sabemos que no existe ningn especfico absoluto para ninguna
enfermedad). Durante ms de veinticinco aos pocas veces he tenido necesidad de utilizar
otro medicamento, y esto suceda solamente cuando se presentaban violentos calambres en el
estmago e intestinos, que deba aliviarlos con Cuprum metallicum.
Antimonium tartaricum tiene las nuseas, los vmitos, las deposiciones diarreicas, la
postracin, el sudor fro y la somnolencia o estupor que se encuentran en todos los casos
serios de esa enfermedad y pocas veces me he visto precisado a dar ms de dos o tres dosis,
una despus de cada vmito, antes de obtener la mejora del paciente. Por lo general no est
recomendado en los textos para esta enfermedad, pero en ella es de inestimable valor, como
lo se por una dilatada observacin y abundante experiencia.
-Si Antimonium tartaricum poseyera nicamente el poder curativo que tiene sobre los
procesos del aparato respiratorio, esto solo lo convertira en un remedio indispensable.
Cualquiera sea el nombre de la afeccin, se trate de bronquitis, neumona, coqueluche o
asma, si existe una gran acumulacin de mucosidades, con rales gruesos, o si las vas areas
estn repletas de secreciones pero al mismo tiempo parece haber una incapacidad para
expulsarlas, el trtaro emtico es el primer remedio en que deberemos pensar. Esto es vlido
para todas las edades y para todas las constituciones, pero particularmente para los nios y
los viejos.
Un sntoma que es muy probable que se presente en estos casos es la somnolencia o

un gran sopor, que en ocasiones se profundiza hasta llegar al coma. Esto no slo se
encuentra en las enfermedades del aparato respiratorio, sino tambin en el clera infantil, el
clera morbo y las fiebres intermitentes. En la neumona tanto el trtaro emtico como
Opium pueden presentar una gran somnolencia, pero no hay aqu ninguna razn para
confundirse en cuanto a la eleccin, porque en Opium la cara es de un color rojo oscuro o
purpreo y puede existir respiracin suspirosa o estertorosa, mientras que en el trtaro
emtico, la cara est siempre plida o ciantica, sin ningn enrojecimiento, y la respiracin
no es estertorosa.
Tres remedios son muy notables por su somnolencia: Opium, Antimonium tartaricum
y Nux moschata, pero salvo este nico sntoma, en nada se parecen.
Antimonium tartaricum es tambin uno de nuestros mejores remedios para la

consolidacin pulmonar que persiste despus de la neumona. Hay matidez a la percusin,
disminucin o ausencia del murmullo respiratorio, disnea y el paciente contina plido, dbil
y somnolento. Si Sulphur no promueve la resorcin en tales casos, el trtaro emtico lo har
con frecuencia. Lo he utilizado desde la potencia 200 hasta la CM con resultados igualmente
buenos.
ANTIMONIUM TARTARICUM (Lathoud)
Antimonium Tartaricum o Tartarus Emticus, es un tartrato doble de Antimonio y de Potasio.

Su frmula qumica es : C4 H4 O7 Sb sal en forma de cristales octadricosincoloros y
transparentes, que al aire se cubren lentamente de un polvo blanco. Inodoro, de sabor
cido desagradable y soluble en alcohol.
Las tres primeras dinamizaciones se obtienen por trituracin, y las siguientes por diluciones
sucesivas.
Accin general
Acta principalmente sobre el sistema nervioso ganglionar y va aniquilando la vitalidad

sobre la que ejerce accin debilitante con el consiguiente agotamiento del influjo
nervioso en tejidos y rganos de la vida vegetativa en general, y en particular en
pulmones y vsceras abdominales (Espanet).
Es un DEPRESOR DEL SISTEMA NERVIOSO por medio del cual produce parlisis
motrices y sensoriales con prdida de reflejos. Es un gran DEPRESOR CARDIACO, que
acta profundamente sobre la circulacin.
Tambin es importante su accin SOBRE LAS MUCOSAS, provocando CATARRO

INTENSO con SECRECIN MUY ABUNDANTE sosa y dulzona antes que cida.
Sobre la piel produce ERUPCIN PUSTULOSA que recuerda la de la viruela.
Caractersticas
CONSTITUCIN Y TIPO: Estado que se agrava rpidamente, intoxicacin profunda

manifiesta por estado de asfixia si ataca los pulmones o por sntomas coleriformes si
ataca el tubo digestivo. En ambos casos hay cianosis evidente, cara consumida y ojos
hundidos con ojeras;fosas nasales dilatadas y con movimientos rpidos, labios lvidos, a
veces azulados, cara fra, terrosa, con sudores fros, en fin, signos de afectacin orgnica
general y profunda, con asfixia progresiva de todos los tejidos.
Este medicamento conviene particularmente en las EDADES EXTREMAS, siendo aplicado

tanto en viejos debilitados en los que una simple bronquitis puede provocar un desenlace
fatal, como en nios miedosos y enclenques cuyo desarrollo est perturbado por
trastornos intestinales.
GRAN SOMNOLENCIA Y SOPOR QUE PUEDEN LLEGAR AL COMA; valor primordial
de este sntoma segn KENT, para su prescripcin; postracin y debilidad marcadas.
NUX MOSCH. y OPIUM tienen tambin sopor muy pronunciado. En menor grado,
ARNICA Y BAPTISIA.
GRAN ACUMULACIN MUCOSA EN EL CANAL RESPIRATORIO, con grandes

grumos mucosos difciles de expulsar. Bronquitis llenos de mucus muy abundante, que
no puede expulsar.
NAUSEAS TAN INTENSAS COMO LAS DE IPECA, aunque tan persistentes, y aliviadas
por los vmitos.
Modalidades
A) Agravacin
a) Por la tarde y LA NOCHE; ACOSTADO.
b) POR EL CALOR.
c) Por el tiempo fro y hmedo.
d) Por cambios de tiempo; en primavera.
e) POR LA LECHE Y LOS CIDOS, que no obstante desea.
B) Mejora
a) Por el fro intenso.
b) Estando sentado o parado.
c) Por los eructos y la expectoracin.
Sntomas mentales
En esta esfera no hay sntomas tan caractersticos como en ANT. CRUD.
Paciente abatido, con miedo de estar solo. Estupor, musita, delira. Nios que no quieren ser
tocados, lloriquean; disposicin a la acritud y aspereza, que puede ser menor que en
ANT. CRUD.
Cabeza
Dolor como si estuviese apretada por una ligadura (NITR. AC., CARBOL. AC.).
Estos dolores son tan frecuentes como en ANT. CRUD., sin mayor diferencia entre ellos.
Vrtigo alternante con sopor. Vrtigo con embrutecimiento y confusin y postracin
alternadas.
Aparato digestivo
1) BOCA: Lengua cargada, como en ANT. CRUD.; pero la capa que la cubre en ANT.
TART. es amarilla, tonalidad oscura y sucia. A menudo gusto amargo, poco acentuado,
metlico, dulzn.
2) ESTOMAGO: Deseo de frutas cidas, especialmente manzanas cidas; bebidas cidas,

cosas agrias, aunque todo esto agrava al enfermo y trae vmitos y diarrea. Aversin por
la leche, que tambin agrava en igual forma (AETHUSA, CALC. OSTR., MAGN.
MUR., Y SULFUR).
Sed con deseos de agua helada, frecuentes, pero en pequeos sorbos. Aunque este sntoma no
est presente en muchos casos ms bien irrita si se le ofrece de beber, por temor a
descomponerse. El nio grue si se le ofrece beber. A veces deseo de tener algo fro en el
estmago (Kent).
Ingiere lquidos con dificultad, pero vomita en cualquier posicin, salvo acostado sobre el
lado derecho.
Nuseas, esfuerzos para vomitar y vmitos, principalmente despus de comer, con postracin
y desfallecimiento, como si fuera a morir. NAUSEAS angustiosas con sensacin de
presin precordial, seguidas de dolor de cabeza con bostezos, lagrimeo y vmitos.
Incapacidad de digerir alimentos, por los que experimenta gran repugnancia;vomita todo
cuanto le llega al estmago hasta una cucharadita de agua.
Los sntomas estomacales e intestinales se acompaan de nuseas continuas y aversin

"mortal" por todo alimento; tiene la sensacin de que todo lo que llega al estomago
producir la muerte.
Los vmitos son violentos, dolorosos, espasmdicos, bostezos con nuseas y todo lo ingerido
es vomitado juntamente con una mucosidad blanca, viscosa y espesa a veces con sangre,
otras con bilis. A veces la cantidad de mucus que segrega la mucosa estomacal es tan
abundante, que al ser vomitado llena el esfago, la boca, la nariz, y sofoca al paciente
(Kent). Los vmitos con sangre son causa de la ulceracin de la mucosa gstrica.
Flatulencia estomacal y abdominal.
3) ABDOMEN Y DEPOSICIONES: Puede haber congestin heptica con vmitos

biliares (Kent). Clicos espasmdicos con mucha flatulencia.
Sensacin de presin abdominal al doblarse hacia adelante. Los malestares abdominales

(plenitud) hacen que el paciente desee estar estirado sin inclinarse ni sentarse.
Diarrea a continuacin de los vmitos, acuosa con restos alimentarios, luego mucus, luego
bilis regurgitada en el duodeno por los esfuerzos para vomitar.
Puede haber diarrea acuosa amarilla o verdosa, o pulposa, o como agua de arroz, con deseos
repetidos y gran sensacin de calor en el recto.
Inflamacin catarral en toda la mucosa respiratoria; secrecin en aumento tendiendo a

hacerse viscosa; inflamacin ms intensa en las partes terminales del rbol respiratorio;
(bronquios, bronquiolos, alvolos pulmonares (Dr. T. G. Stongam en "The British
Homeopathic Journal" abril 1912).
1) NARIZ: Irritacin menos marcada que en ANT. CRUD. Fosas nasales dilatadas por
LATIDOS RPIDOS SINCRONIZADOS AL RITMO RESPIRATORIO(CHELID.,
LYCOP., PHOSPH., PYROG.).
2) BRONQUIOS Y PULMONES: Hay en estas zonas GRAN ACUMULACIN

MUCOSA que hace difcil y ardiente la respiracin; la tos parece arrancar algo, pero LA
RESPIRACIN SE HACE DIFCIL Y LA EXPECTORACIN IMPOSIBLE. Este es el
primer medicamento en que hay que pensar en todos los casos de gran acumulacin
mucosa en las vas respiratorias.
Disnea CON FOSAS NASALES DILATADAS; latidos en alas nasales con movimientos
sincronizados a la respiracin, que es sumamente difcil, ruidosa, cara ciantica, amenaza
de asfixia.
Estos sntomas pectorales que pueden llegar a parlisis pulmonar, juntamente con gran sopor,
indican a este remedio en la pleuroneumona y en la ortopnea de los viejos. Aqu
BARYTA CARB. es el complemento, principalmente cuando ANT. TART. no ha curado
sino parcial e imperfectamente (Farrington).
ANT. TART. es tambin uno de los mejores remedios contra la HEPATIZACIN

PULMONAR PERSISTENTE posterior a neumona (Dr. T. G. Stonham, "The British
Homeopathic Recorder", abril 1912). A la percusin, los pulmones se sienten macizos,
disminuye y hasta desaparece el murmullo vesicular; hay disnea, el paciente est plido,
debilitado, sumido en sopor. Si en un caso tal SULF. no resuelve dicho estado, ANT.
TART. lo har (Nash).
Si bien OPIUM tiene un sopor muy parecido a ANT. TART. no puede haber confusin pues
en OPIUM la cara es roja o prpura, no plida, puede haber estertores (Nash).
EL COMER PROVOCA TOS acompaada de dolor pectoral y larngeo; en suparoxismo, la

tos provoca vmito de mucus y alimento. Si bien IPECA tiene mucosidad abundante,
tiene a la vez gran poder de expulsin expectorante, lo que no hay en ANT. TART. A
diferencia de BRYON., BELL., ACON. o IPECA, que abaten en forma violenta, ANT.
TART. es de accin opuesta, con poca fiebre, sudor fro, enfriamiento general, facies
hipocrtica, gran abatimiento al final. Cuando nos encontramos frente a nios rozagantes
con cuadro pectoral similar pero sin abatimiento ni sopor pese a tener gran catarro,
entonces ser KALI SULF. el remedio, debiendo recordar que es la debilidad la que
reclama ANT. TART. Adems, cuando la mucosidad en viejos deprimidos acatarrados es
amarilla y purulenta, el medicamento es amoniacum (Kent).
VIOLENTO DOLOR EN LA REGIN SACRO-LUMBAR, acompaado de sensacin de

pesadez en el coxis, como si fuese tironeado hacia abajo.
Piel
TART. EMET. es un poderoso irritante de la piel en la que determina erupcin de pstulas

dolorosas como la viruela y tambin deja marcas rojo azuladas. Esta erupcin es ms
marcada en la cara y en la regin gnito-anal.

ANTIMONIUM TARTARICUM (Kent)
El primer sntoma que observamos en un paciente tratado con Antimonium tart. es la

expresin de la cara. La faz est plida y enfermiza; la nariz arrugada y encogida; los
ojos hundidos y rodeados de crculos negros. Los labios plidos y arrugados; las
ventanas de la nariz agitadas y por dentro oscura y fuliginosa. El rostro est cubierto de
fro sudor y la expresin es de sufrimiento. La atmsfera de la habitacin permite
percibir que la muerte est presente en la misma. La familia est perturbada; van de ac
para all, excitados y preocupados, y usted observa este cuadro para hacer una
prescripcin homeoptica, que debe hacerse rpidamente.
Ahora, en qu casos encontramos este estado donde todos los sntomas conforman la
naturaleza del remedio.? Primero en pacientes catarrales, con constituciones
enfermizas, en nios dbiles, en ancianos. Afecciones catarrales de la trquea y de los
bronquios. Escuchamos roncos estertores y burbujeos en el pecho. Si usted ha estado
alguna vez en la habitacin de una persona que se est muriendo, ha escuchado hablar
del estertor de la muerte. Luego se produce expectoracin levemente coloreada, mucosa
blancuzca. La dolencia es aqulla en la cual el pecho se llena constantemente con
mucus, y al principio lo podr expeler; pero finalmente se sofocar por el exceso y la
incapacidad para hacerlo Es una afeccin paraltica de los pulmones. Esto puede
producirse en casos de gripe. Al principio puede ser un caso que sigue un curso rpido,
en tres o cuatro das o una semana. Los primeros das de la dolencia, no indican
Antimonium tart., si la reaccin orgnica es buena y su fuerza se mantiene. Ud. no
observar decaimiento, ni sudores fros, ni borboteo en el pecho.
Pero Antimonium tart. tiene debilidad y falta de reaccin. Por lo tanto es til en aquellos
pacientes que son muy dbiles, afectados de un estado pasivo y relajado, con neumona,
inflamacin de la trquea, y de los pasajes de aire en general. Pero el primer estado no
indica la presencia de Antimonium tart. Medicinas tales como Bryonia e Ipecac
convienen en el primer perodo, y la impresin es, cuando se administran tales
medicamentos, que sern suficientes para resolver el caso, excepto cuando hay
debilidad desde un principio, o donde hay carencia de aptitud para reaccionar
suficientemente para recobrarse bajo los efectos del remedio. Entonces aparece un
segundo medicamento, y ste es el momento en que la medicina comienza a operar.
Ipecac tiene tambin estertor con gran poder expulsivo de los pulmones. Mientras
Antimonium tart. tiene estos estertores luego de muchos das, Ipec. los tiene los
primeros das de la enfermedad. La tos y nusea con estado de gran relajacin,
postracin y fro, son sntomas de Antimonium tart. Parecera que el paciente fuera a
morir. Cuando se lo oye toser uno se impresiona con la idea de que debe existir una
profunda debilidad en sus pulmones. Sabemos que es el poder de los pulmones lo que
produce una accin expulsiva con la ms profunda inspiracin. No sucede ello con
Antimonium tart. El pecho se llena de mucus y de tos con estertores, pero el mucus no
aumenta, o aumenta muy poco, por lo cual no produce alivio. Est sofocado, muriendo
por intoxicacin de cido carbnico. En casos de neumona; cuando al principio decae a
causa de un enfriamiento, puede ser primero un ataque muy violento, que produzca ms
tarde una postracin, esto es, luego de tres o cuatro das. No est indicado al comienzo
del enfriamiento, y durante el alto grado de inflamacin, pero s durante la etapa de
exudacin. Pero la violencia del ataque lo conduce a un estado de postracin, que lo
debilita como si fuera un anciano. Distinto a Aconite, Bell., Ip., y Bry., con los cuales se
accede con violencia el caso opuesto se observa con Antimonium tart., donde hay poca
fiebre. transpiracin fra, relajacin y aspecto macilento. Este es el remedio que finaliza
la escena en los casos graves de bronquitis, neumona; que termina con la muerte de
este viejo paciente de gota, debilitado por la larga enfermedad, siempre
estremecindose, plido, articulaciones dilatadas, sujeto a las afecciones catarrales de
las vas respiratorias.
Durante los perodos de tiempo hmedo aparece un estado de catarro en el pecho, laringe y
trquea el cual desemboca en un estado de abundante mucus. Permanece en cama
enseguida, postrado, con gruesos estertores. En nios que tienen frecuentes ataques de
bronquitis, debido al clima fro y hmedo, tan pronto como desaparece un resfro
aparece otro. El estado agudo no es nunca violento en ellos, pero permanecen con estos
resfros estertorosos. Aquellos nios sanos que no parecen enfermos cuando estn
resfriados, son ms o menos vigorosos, aunque tienen estertores en el pecho, pero no se
debilitan ni estn postrados les es suministrado Kali sulph. Esta es una caracterstica
muy particular, la debilidad inmediata habla de este remedio. En personas muy ancianas
se produce esta debilidad, personas decadas que durante aos han tenido catarro de
pecho. Cada resfro agudo durante el perodo de invierno trae aparejado un catarro de
pecho, con mucus espeso y blanco, y atendindolo con gran disnea, lo lleva a la cama.
Debe permanecer sentado en la cama y ser apantallado; no puede permanecer acostado
debido a su dificultad en respirar y tener el pecho cargado. Antimonium tart. lo aliviar
en gran parte de estos ataques prolongando su vida. Cuando el mucus es amarillo en
una de estas personas ancianas, Ammoniacum lo ayudar a pasar sus buenos inviernos.
Muchos ancianos que sufren de catarro de pecho durante el invierno; por aos, y no
esperan mejorar. Cuando la expectoracin es amarilla Ammoniacum la ayudar a
eliminarla, y Antimonium tart. cuando es blanco con postracin, transpiracin, fro,
palidez y la cara azulada. Estos son los principales usos de este remedio en la prctica.
Muchos de los sntomas de Antimonium tartaricum son similares a Antimonium crudum;

empeoran cuando sienten calor, y cuando estn muy arropados. Ver a estos pacientes
sentados en la cama sin ropa alrededor de sus hombros o cuello, y caminar de noche
para poder respirar. Se sofocan si la habitacin es muy clida como en Ant. crud
Empeoran si se baan con agua fra, como en Antimonium crud. Las mucosas estn
tambin cubiertas con mucosidad espesa y blanca. Tampoco desea ser molestado. Cada
cosa es una carga. Cuando los nios estn enfermos no desean que se los toque o que se
les hable o ser mirados. Prefieren estar solos. Muchas veces la respiracin es ruidosa y
quejndose. Siempre de mal humor, es decir, extremadamente irritable cuando es
perturbado. Est incmodo y el paciente se torna irascible. Sin quererlo el paciente est
ansioso, y tiene el presentimiento de que se va a morir. Se muestra deprimido, y si no
recibe alivio pronto morir , porque siente sofocacin, disnea, la cual aumenta
firmemente. Las aletas de la nariz se agitan como en Lycopodium al que Antimonium
tart. se asemeja mucho.
Ambos remedios tienen muchos sntomas gstricos. Nusea constante, vmitos e

indigestin. Antimonium tart. con sus dificultades para respirar trae enfermedades en el
estmago. Rechaza todas las cosas, rechaza la comida; vomita an agua. El estado del
paciente es dcil y si acepta estar tranquilo, a pesar de todos los sufrimientos, se dormir
, y ronca por la disnea, as es que en muchos sentidos se parece a Antimonium crud,
pero en ste, no tiene nada de parecido con el copioso flujo d mucosidad que mana de
las mucosas inflamadas, ni del estado pasivo de toda la economa. No es tan
desesperante en sus pruebas ni tan terrible observarlos.
Clnicamente Ant. Tart. ha estado limitado a las mucosas respiratorias, pero tiene las
mismas virtudes pasivas de todas las mucosas del cuerpo, secrecin de mucosidad
blanca de los ojos. "Ojos prominentes, brillantes. Confuso, y vrtigo. Oftalmia
gonorreica. Para las afecciones reumticas proporciona otra forma de este remedio,
como Antimonium crudum. Las articulaciones se afectan, adquiriendo infiltracin
pasiva y se tornan hidrpicas. Infiltracin gotosa en las articulaciones, especialmente
malas durante el fro, clima hmedo. Sntomas en los ojos de este carcter. El estado de
gota afecta a todo el cuerpo. Las mucosas estn plidas y relajadas en vez de rojas e
inflamadas. Lo mismo se encuentra el pecho. Este no es el ardor encontrado en Ars. y
en los remedios ms agudos, aunque existe un estado de postracin, ansiedad y
transpiracin fra que se parece a Ars.
Luego esta afeccin gotosa afecta a los dientes. Sus dientes son todos reumticos.
"Dolores reumticos en los dientes" con molestias similares en las articulaciones. "Los
dientes estn cubiertos de mucus".
Tambin hay dolores, nuseas, digestiones difciles y aborrecimiento por la comida.
Vomitando todo lo que se ingiere, incluso una cucharada de agua. En la mayora de las
molestias este remedio es sin sed. Es una excepcin que tenga sed. Generalmente en
estos ataques de disnea los amigos del paciente estn a su alrededor con el deseo de
ayudarle, aunque sea alcanzarle un vaso de agua, lo cual lo irrita. Est perturbado, y
muestra su disgusto. El nio emitir un gruido ofensivo en las mismas circunstancias.
Excepcionalmente existe un deseo irresistible por bebidas fras. "Deseo de cidos o
frutas cidas", que lo agravan. Se producen inconvenientes en el estmago por haber
ingerido vinagre, cosas agrias, por vino o por frutas cidas, lo mismo que en Ant. crud.
Aversin a la leche y a cualquier clase de nutrimento, pero especialmente la leche lo
enferma, causndole nuseas y vmitos. El estmago y el abdomen estn muy
distendidos por flatulencia y timpanismo. Los sntomas del estmago y de los intestinos
vienen acompaados por una constante nusea, pero esto es algo ms, pues es un gran
rechazo a cualquier clase de comida, una nusea con la sensacin de que si ingiere algo
morir ; es una gran aversin a los alimentos. La debilidad aumenta su ansiedad, y su
sofocacin cuando se le ofrece comida. Gente de buen corazn muy a menudo desean
que coma algo, .porque quizs no se aliment nada durante todo el da, o toda la noche;
pero ese solo pensamiento aumenta la disnea y su nusea, su rechazo y su sufrimiento.
El vmito es ms o menos espasmdico. "Arcadas violentas. Asco y arcadas y
esfuerzos para vomitar. Sofocacin, con grandes.sufrimientos." El estmago parece
tomar una accin convulsiva. "Vmitos por cualquier cosa que se haya introducido en
el estmago, con cantidades de mucosidad". Espeso, blanco, mucosidad ahogante,
algunas veces con sangre. "Vmitos viscosos, exhaustivos, con gran cantidad de
mucosidad." "Vmitos viscosos, con bilis. Una mucosidad acuosa, luego algo de
comida, luego bilis". Pero el efecto principal son los vmitos espesos, blancos,
mucosidad ahogante, fluyendo de las mucosas de cualquier parte.
El paciente a menudo se ahoga mientras esta mucosidad espesa, es expelida desde el

esfago y la boca. La boca se llena con ella. Es un tremendo esfuerzo, un esfuerzo
espasmdico, para el paciente para eliminar el contenido de su estmago. Al principio
los vmitos son de mucus y luego de muchos esfuerzos hay una regurgitacin de bilis,
que contina. El gran esfuerzo tambin induce a un flujo de sangre, y el contenido del
estmago estar un poco manchado con sangre. Ulceraciones de las mucosas en todas
partes. Tiene lceras sangrantes en la nariz y en la laringe. El estmago tambin se
ulcera y hay vmitos de sangre.
Al igual que Antimonium crud. es til en antiguos borrachos sujetos a debilidad y

frecuentes resfros. Muy enviciados, se vuelven relajados y fros, y el pecho se les llena
de mucosidad, vomitan, sofocados. "Estertores de mucosidad en el pecho de viejos
borrachos". Se requiere Ant. crud. cuando los trastornos se localizan en el estmago. En
cambio Ant. tart. cuando los sntomas ms salientes estn en el pecho con creciente
ansiedad, fro y postracin; postracin de los bebedores. Viejos pacientes con gota,
viejos borrachos; constituciones deprimidas. En nios que tienen tambin
constituciones debilitadas, como si se hubieran vuelto viejos. Esto hace tomar fro en el
pecho, con gran ruido de mucosidad, y requiere este remedio.
Muy comnmente hay ansiedad en el estmago, no siempre est descrito como un dolor,
pero un sentimiento de ansiedad, una depresin mortal en el estmago como si se fuera
a morir. "Ansiedad en el estmago, con nuseas". Una congestin pasiva del hgado,
con vmitos y bilis.
El remedio est tambin lleno de dolores cortantes como un cuchillo. Opresin en los
intestinos. Clicos. Distensin del abdomen. El abdomen puede ser distendido por
suero, o puede ser distendido por flatos. "Dolores agudos cortantes, como cuchillos. La
mayora de los dolores ms violentos en el abdomen". La hidropesa es uno de los
estados naturales de todas las formas de Antimonium. Recuerdo a un enrgico mdico
de caballos alimentando a todos los suyos con Antimonio negro cuando la epizootia
estaba en la zona, haciendo estragos en todos los establos. Aprend que le estaba
suministrando Antimonio negro a todos los caballos y orden para que al mo no se le
diera otra medicina que la que yo haba dejado. Prcticamente casi todos los caballos
que l haba tratado terminaron con hidropesa, y permanecieron por das y semanas
con las patas vendadas. Fue una experiencia con Antimonium.
Ant. tart. posee todas estas caractersticas. Era comn suministrar, antiguamente a gente
enfermiza Ant. tart. al final de la neumona y de las fiebres, pero producan hinchazn
en los pies durante tres o cuatro meses despus. Antimonium es un causante comn de
las "molestias febriles", las lceras lentas e indoloras que se forman sobre las piernas a
continuacin de las viejas fiebres en constituciones dbiles. A veces nunca pueden
desembarazarse de ellas a menos que sean tratados con los lineamientos de nuestra
escuela.
ANTIMONIUM TARTARICUM (Farrington)
Antimonium tartaricum obra sobre la garganta y los pulmones y en esto debe ser
comparado con Baryta carbnica, Lachesis, Ipecacuanha, Kali hidroid., Phosphorus,
Sulphur, Carbo vegetalis, Laurocerasus, Amonium carbonicum, Bromium, Iodium y
Spongia.
Obra sobre la piel, debiendo ser comparado en este caso con Conium, Mercurius, Kali
bichromicum y Kali hidroid.
Por ltimo, obra sobre los intestinos, debiendo compararse con Veratrum album y
Mercurius.
Antimonium tartaricum o Trtaro emtico, como tambin se le llama, es una sal

compuesta de antimonio y postasa y tanto una como la otra de estas substancias, deprimen
la circulacin, de aqu que deberemos esperar encontrar sntomas debidos a esta causa,
intensificados bajo la accin de Antimonium tartaricum. Produce mayor debilidad en el
corazn y los pulmones, de lo que sucede en el Antimonio mismo.
Bajo la accin de Antimonium tartaricum encontramos la cabeza con calor moderado
de la frente; sensacin de confusin como si el enfermo se fuera a dormir. Esta
somnolencia es ms notable en la maana. Con frecuencia hay cefalalgia con sensacin de
como si una venda atara con fuerza la frente. Esta cefalalgia es un sntoma comn debido a
la congestin pasiva del cerebro. La encontraremos tambin en Gelsemium, Mercurius,
Carbolicum acidum, Sulphur y algunos otros. El aire fresco y el movimiento parecen
producir mejora; el bao mejora los sntomas ceflicos, siendo esto contrario a la
modalidad general de Antimonium crudum. Otras veces el dolor es punzante, sobre todo
en el lado derecho de la cabeza. Todava hay otra forma de cefalalgia y es con tirones
sobre la sien derecha, irradiando al maxilar inferior. Es una especie de dolor reumtico
desgarrante que se experimenta en el periostio. Si el enfermo es un nio, notaremos que
huye a que se le vea o se le toque y en el caso de insistir en una importuna atencin,
pueden presentarse las convulsiones. Al despertar, el nio parece estar estpido y
excesivamente irritable, de tal manera que grita con slo que se le dirija la mirada. El
vrtigo frecuentemente es un achaque que acompaa a Antimonium tartaricum, alternando
con somnolencia. A menudo encontramos indicado a Antimonium tartaricum en casos de
erupciones suprimidas, cuando estn presentes estos sntomas cerebrales; con especialidad
cuando la erupcin de la escarlatina, del sarampin o de la viruela, no salen de un modo
correcto, a han sido suprimidas; entonces tendremos adems de los sntomas ya
mencionados, gran dificultad para la respiracin. La cara se pone azul o purpurina; el nio
llega a estar ms y ms somnoliento y se presentan los subsaltos; hay respiracin
estertorosa, revelando todos estos sntomas la gravedad del caso.
Antimonium tartaricum con frecuencia har reaparecer la erupcin y el enfermito se

salvar. Ahora, estos sntomas ya mencionados, acompaan a dos grandes series de
fenmenos para los cuales Antimonium tartaricum puede ser til, y son las afecciones
pulmonares y gastrointestinales.
En los nios es un valioso medicamento en las afecciones del pecho; por ejemplo, en
la coqueluche y de hecho en todas las toses, ya sea que provengan de la denticin o por
otra causa, cuando la tos es provocada cuando el nio monta en clera, la que sucede con
mucha frecuencia; el acto de comer produce tos que culmina en vmitos de moco y
materias alimenticias.
Hay adems otra forma de afeccin del pecho en la que est indicado Antimonium
tartaricum: el lactante repentinamente suelta el pezn y grita como si se estuviera
sofocando; parece mejorarse cuando se le da el pecho y se le pasea. Ahora bien, puede
tratarse del principio de una bronquitis capilar; a la auscultacin probablemente
encontremos finos estertores subcrepitantes en todo el pecho; en este caso Antimonium
tartaricum detiene la enfermedad en su principio evitando al nio muchos sufrimientos.
Hay adems otra forma de tos en la que puede usarse; hay un marcado ruido silbante
cuando el enfermo respira; la tos parece floja y sin embargo el nio no desgarra la flema,
aumentando este sntoma hasta que el nio se pone somnoliento; la cabeza se pone caliente
y baada en sudor; la tos se hace cada vez menos frecuente; el pulso es dbil y los
fenmenos de cianosis se presentan. En estos casos, mientras ms rpidamente se
prescribe Antimonium tartaricum mejores resultados dar a nuestro paciente.
Antimonium tartaricum tambin est indicado en las afecciones de los ancianos
particularmente en la ortopnea o cuando la parlisis pulmonar es inminente en la edad
avanzada. Se perciben estertores fuertes en el pecho y sin embargo, el enfermo no puede
desgarrar. En este estado, Baryta carbnica es complementario de Antimonium tartaricum
y con frecuencia tiene xito, cuando el ltimo medicamento solamente mejora de un modo
parcial al enfermo.
Vamos ahora algunos de sus medicamentos concordantes en estos casos.
Ipecacuanha frecuentemente precede a Antimonium tartaricum en el catarro de pecho

de los nios, cuando se perciben fuertes estertores a travs del trax; el toser le provoca
arqueo, expulsando muy pocas flemas.
En la parlisis inminente de los pulmones deberemos comparar a Antimonium

tartaricum con otros varios medicamentos: con Lachesis que produce agravacin al
despertar; con Kali hidroiodicum, especialmente cuando hay edema pulmonar y mucho
ruido de moco en el pecho; el poco moco que logra expulsarse es verdoso, espumoso y
como de jabonadura.
Carbo vegetalis tambin se adapta a estos casos, pero en l, los estertores van
acompaados de aliento fro, frialdad de las extremidades inferiores, sobre todo de los pies
y las rodillas.
Moschus obra cuando hay un fuerte ruido de moco y el enfermo est inquieto. Est
indicado especialmente despus de la fiebre tifoidea; el pulso es cada vez menos fuerte y
finalmente el enfermo cae en sncope.
No debemos olvidar a Ammonium carbonicum en este estado.

Antimonium tartaricum est indicado en la asfixia de los recin nacidos, cuando hay
ruido de moco en la garganta.
Laurocerasus es de utilidad en la asfixia neonatorum, cuando hay un intenso color

azul de la cara, contracciones de los msculos faciales y emisin de sonidos entrecortados
sin una respiracin verdadera. Antimonium tartaricum reproduce un cuadro perfecto de la
pleuroneumona; ciertas porciones de los pulmones estn paralizadas; se perciben finos
estertores an sobre las zonas hepatizadas; hay gran opresin respiratoria, particularmente
hacia la maana; el enfermo necesita enderezarse para poder respirar. Tambin puede estar
indicado en la neumona biliosa, que no es ms que la neumona acompaada de
congestin heptica y bien marcada ictericia. El epigastrio est muy sensible al tacto y a la
presin; hay meteorismo, nusea y vmito. Puede ser empleado en la neumona de los
tomadores, cuando se presentan estas complicaciones.
Antimonium tartaricum produce pstulas casi idnticas a las de la viruela, por lo que
puede ser de utilidad en esta afeccin. Sobre todo en el comienzo, antes de que la erupcin
aparezca y el enfermo tenga una tos molesta, que en otras circunstancias podra sugerirnos
el empleo de Bryonia, aunque en este caso deberemos prescribir Antimonium tartaricum
porque cubre todos los sntomas; se adapta a la tos y tambin a la causa que la produce.
Tambin es aplicable a los sntomas oculares que se presentan durante las fiebres
eruptivas, como la viruela, escarlatina, sarampin, etc.
En las afecciones intestinales lo encontramos indicado por los sntomas siguientes:

nusea con gran ansiedad, eructos con sabor a huevos podridos, bostezos y somnolencia.
Las materias vomitadas son verdes y acuosas, algunas veces espumosas y contienen
alimentos. El vmito mismo va asociado a un temblor de las manos y seguido de
somnolencia. Puede presentarse el vmito y la diarrea con cada sntoma de colapso;
frialdad de la superficie; las manos y los pies estn como hielo y las evacuaciones son
profusas y acuosas. No hay sed o bebe muy poco y con frecuencia. Tiene deseo de frutas,
cidos, etc.; clico cortante. En esto tenemos casi un cuadro perfecto de Veratrum. La
diferencia entre estos dos medicamentos, consiste en que Veratrum tiene ms sudor fro
sobre la frente y Antimonium tartaricum ms somnolencia.
Cuando Antimonium tartaricum ha producido pstulas, su antdoto es Conium.

Una persona que tena correspondencia con la revista Chemist and Druggist (May 21,
1892) relat un caso de un aprendiz quien haba sido empleado por una semana para
hacer "bolas de tos" y bolas diurticas para los caballos, ambos tenan antimonio en
polvo. Se le haba advertido no inhalar el polvo, pero su patrn cree que lo hizo. Al
final de la semana fue sacudido por una enfermedad, que su patrn piensa, y sin duda
correctamente, sea debida al antimonio. Sus sntomas eran muy caractersticos. Primero
haba nusea, lasitud y deseo de dormir. Se envi a acostarse, y durante la noche, su
compaero dijo que se levant y se esforzaba para quitarse un peso imaginario del
pecho. Al ponerlo otra vez en su cama, apareci una sudoracin profusa, y tambin un
rash peculiar en su cara y en el pecho; despus de que vomit abundantemente se sinti
mejor. Temperatura 104 y pulso 120. Una mezcla para la fiebre de Ammon. acet.
lquido y Sp. aether. pit. se le dio. Un mdico que fue llamado encontr sin dudas
sntomas de neumona en pulmn izquierdo, pero confes que nunca haba visto ese
rash anteriormente y no poda aventurar una opinin acerca de ello. Por dos das la
temperatura se mantuvo en 104, despus ambos, temperatura y pulso volvieron a lo
normal, el rash desapareci y con l, la tos neumnica; en seis das el muchacho estaba
perfectamente bien. "Un nio que tose cuando se enoja" es caracterstico. Heath cur un
caso de tos ferina en un nio que se asustaba antes de la tos. La madre deca que si el
nio se enojaba, tena inmediatamente un ataque de tos. "Tos a las 4 a.m." es otra
indicacin que he encontrado cierta. Indicaciones ms importantes en este medicamento
son: ataques de desmayo, temblor interno. Causa relajacin de esfnteres y msculos,
con o sin nusea. Orificio de cuello uterino, sensible, no dilatable, con malestar,
quejidos e inquietud con cada dolor (Acon. ), sensacin de vmito. Contracciones
convulsivas. Convulsiones. Gran pesadez en todas las extremidades y gran debilidad.
Dolores reumticos (fiebre), con sudoracin que no lo mejora. Inflamacin de rganos
internos. Malestares gstricos y biliosos. Constante nusea- nusea se siente en el pecho
(Puls. ). Sensacin de peso o pesadez en muchas partes: cabeza, occipucio, cccix,
extremidades. Latidos en todos los vasos sanguneos. El nio quiere que lo carguen y
llora si alguien lo toca. Mal humor, lloriquea y llora. Inquietud, aprensin, agitacin.
Embotado y aturdido de la cabeza como entumido. Temblor crnico de la cabeza; de
cabeza y manos (como en parlisis agitante). La lengua saburral blanca, espesa con
papilas rojas a travs. Intensa nusea y vmito con gran esfuerzo; con sudoracin en la
frente. Llenura y sensacin de piedras en el abdomen, especialmente cuando est
sentado y doblado hacia adelante. La piel est notablemente afectada. La erupcin
tpica es como de la varicela, los sntomas de esta enfermedad se reproducen tan
cercanamente en los experimentadores que se ha usado en lugar de la vacuna para
propsitos de inoculacin, y su poder profilctico se ha sostenido. (Comparar
Variolinum ). La terrible dorsalgia de la varicela est en paralelo con dolores de espalda
de Ant. tar. que se ha encontrado ms correspondencia en muchos casos de lumbago
que otros medicamentos. Ant. tar. tambin es un "syctico" y yo he verificado un
sntoma dado por Hering, "verrugas en el dorso del glande". Ant. tar. tiene < por el
calor, pero no la excesiva sensibilidad al calor y sol de Ant. crud., y algunos de los
sntomas reumticos son > por el calor. Bebidas calientes < la tos, tambin acostado en
la cama, especialmente cuando se calienta. Hay tambin < por el fro y la humedad pero
no los malos efectos del lavado fro encontrado en Ant. crud . Tambin lavado fro > la
odontalgia reumtica de Ant. tar . Ambos tienen < por el tacto y an por verlos. Ant. t.
tiene < al sentarse, cuando se sienta y al levantarse de un asiento, < sentado doblndose
hacia adelante; > sentado erecto. < acostado sobre el lado afectado. < por movimiento,
o en cada esfuerzo para moverse. Una caracterstica de Ant. t. en afecciones pulmonares
es "acostarse con la cabeza hacia atrs". No hay la > por el reposo que es muy aparente
en muchos sntomas de Ant. crud . La cefalea de Ant. t. es < por el reposo, tambin la
otalgia y respiracin. < en la noche es ms marcada con Ant. t. que Ant. c . Tos es < a
las 4 a. > por eructos.

infancia y de la senectud. Coqueluche. Cianosis. Disnea. Edema del pulmn. Imptigo.
Pericarditis. Neumona. Viruelas. Antimonium tartaricum es ms bien un remedio
respiratorio; Antimoniun crudum es un remedio digestivo.
Relaciones
En la evolucin con tendencia a la gravedad: Carbo vegetabilis. En la evolucin hacia la
mejora: Ipeca, despus China. La indicacin de Antimonium tartaricum se desarrolla ms
generalmente sobre un estado hidrogenoide y Natrum sulphuricum es frecuentemente un
remedio que conviene para acelerar la curacin y evitar el retorno de las congestiones
pasivas del pulmn, tan frecuentes en la senectud.

Antimonium tartaricum (Wheeler)
(K Sb O) (C4 H4 O6)
Trtaro emtico. Trituracin o soluciones y potencias de ambas.
Antimonium crudum (el sulfuro de antimonio) y Antimonium arsenicosum . el arseniato,
son utilizados al igual que Antimonium tartaricum, pero este ltimo es el miembro ms
importante del grupo de compuestos de antimonio. Es bien conocido por la escuela
dominante de medicina y algunos de sus usos en esta escuela huelen en forma clara a
homeopata. Pero en general el mdico no homepata tiende a utilizarlo menos en esta
poca, mientras que los partidarios de Hahnemann, que mantienen su principio normativo,
encuentran relativamente fcil su aplicacin precisa y con resultados tan satisfactorios
como siempre.
Localmente, el trtaro emtico irrita la piel, causando una erupcin papulosa y luego el
desarrollo de vesculas y pstulas no muy diferentes de las que presenta la viruela. Las
aberturas de las glndulas de la piel y los folculos pilosos son los puntos en que comienzan
las pstulas. Inyectado hipodrmicamente, causa gran dolor y a menudo supuracin local y
formacin de escaras, de tal manera que este modo de administracin resulta inconveniente;
se prefiere la va intravenosa cuando se administra la droga en la prctica ortodoxa. Los
efectos cutneos son provocados con suma facilidad por una aplicacin local, pero segn la
experiencia homeoptica y de otros (vase Schulz y Lewin) parecen seguir ocasionalmente
el uso interno del remedio. Tambin la erupcin aparece no slo en donde se efectu la
aplicacin sino en zonas muy alejadas, lo cual sugiere una accin ms que local. Por
consiguiente, considerando a estos efectos cutneos como una reaccin especfica de la piel
y observando los caracteres de la erupcin, los homepatas utilizan Ant. tart. para casos de
viruela, cuando los otros sntomas corresponden, y al parecer con mucho xito. Como se
ver luego, la raquialgia precoz caracterstica de la viruela encuentra un paralelo en la
patogenesia de Ant. tart.
Segn lo sugiere su nombre, los efectos del trtaro emtico se revelan con rapidez en el
tracto gastrointestinal. Pequeas dosis causan slo una ligera transpiracin en individuos
sanos, pero dosis ms grandes originan una intensa nusea y violentos vmitos, con
depresin profunda, salivacin y transpiracin. El pulso se acelera. Los vmitos tardos
contienen mucha mucosidad viscosa e incluso sangre. Junto con los vmitos aparece una
profusa diarrea acuosa y se establece una gran debilidad muscular y a menudo sntomas de
colapso general. La piel se torna fra y se cubre de sudor, la cara se vuelve ciantica, la voz
se debilita, la respiracin y la temperatura se deprimen y en los casos fatales la vida termina
en coma. La albuminuria es un sntoma bastante frecuente de la intoxicacin. Los vmitos y
la diarrea parecen debidos en gran parte a una accin irritativa local, pues si bien siguen a la
inyeccin hipodrmica, la droga es excretada en gran parte hacia el estmago y el intestino
y produce su efecto local de esta manera. Los sntomas del envenenamiento crnico con
antimonio son la depresin, la cefalea, los vrtigos, la confusin y la somnolencia. Hay
prdida del apetito y malestar o dolor en la regin del estmago. Gradualmente el paciente
se debilita y se agota. Se puede presentar una diarrea profusa. Luego se produce
enflaquecimiento, albuminuria y finalmente colapso. Se han observado erupciones
pustulosas por el prolongado uso interno del tartrato de antimonio. Se afirma que aparece
una ulceracin del intestino delgado y que quedan especialmente afectadas las placas de
Peyer. La presin arterial desciende despus de dosis txicas; son comunes el edema y la
congestin pulmonar y en experimentos animales se ha observado inflamacin catarral de
los bronquios y neumona. Se estimulan ciertas secreciones como el sudor, la saliva y las de
las glndulas mucosas respiratorias. Despus de una intoxicacin crnica hay evidencias de
degeneracin grasa de ciertos rganos (por ejemplo, del hgado), como con el arsnico. Las
pequeas dosis estimulan el rin y las grandes dosis causan nefritis. El medicamento
parece tener poder especfico para destruir tripanosomas en la sangre, aun en diluciones de
1 en 500.000. Por consiguiente, se emplea en la enfermedad del sueo y en la sfilis y ha
demostrado tener notable xito en el kala azar, habindose convertido en el remedio de la
bilharziasis.
Los efectos de estos envenenamientos y los resultados de dichos experimentos en animales
ponen en evidencia con claridad que el antimonio acta profundamente sobre el cuerpo y
tiene puntos especiales de ataque en el tracto gastrointestinal, el aparato respiratorio, la piel
y los riones. Pero para su uso efectivo por los homepatas, es necesario precisar con ms
detalle estos amplios lineamientos. Cuando se experimentan los medicamentos, se toman en
dosis relativamente pequeas durante un cierto tiempo. Los efectos de "shock" de la
administracin masiva de un veneno son menos evidentes, pero los matices ms finos de
respuesta se tornan ms manifiestos. Por medio de los mismos se toma la decisin de elegir
no slo una droga similar sino la ms similar posible. En consecuencia, en todo lo que
sigue, si bien no se descuida de ningn modo la informacin derivada de los efectos
txicos, el mdico depende en muy gran medida de las experimentaciones del medicamento
sobre seres humanos sanos. Tambin la experiencia clnica de ms de un siglo ha
aumentado considerablemente nuestro conocimiento. De este modo, el experimento
homeoptico y la experiencia ponen en claro las indicaciones detalladas para utilizar el
medicamento con xito.
La asociacin de la nusea y los vmitos con sntomas que revelan una irritacin
inflamatoria de los bronquiolos finos y del pulmn, han conducido al uso de Antim. tart. en
las secuelas de la anestesia con ter. Durante algunos aos fu prctica del Hospital
Homeoptico de Glasgow la administracin previa del medicamento (una o dos dosis) y se
afirma que los pacientes tratados de este modo tienen una experiencia mucho ms
placentera y muestran mucho menos ansiedad que el sujeto comn sometido al ter. Si el
anestsico es el cloroformo, Phosphorus (vase) es el medicamento de eleccin. An no
existe experiencia suficiente acerca de los anestsicos ms recientes para un
pronunciamiento dogmtico, aunque tambin en este caso se ha propiciado Phosphorus.
El rasgo prominente en el estudio del uso homeoptico de este medicamento consiste en
que es especialmente aplicable a afecciones agudas sumadas a organismos debilitados y
enfermizos. Por tal motivo, est indicado en las dolencias de ambos extremos de la vida: en
nios dbiles y en afecciones que se presentan en personas ancianas; adems, se aplica a los
trastornos de individuos con organismo quebrantado. Sobre la base de los protocolos
ortodoxos de envenenamientos y las experimentaciones homeopticas, se ha demostrado
que el tartrato de antimonio ejerce una acentuada accin sobre el aparato respiratorio,
aunque raras veces se requiere este medicamento durante los estadios iniciales de las
dolencias agudas que afectan el pulmn. Pero en los estadios ulteriores de las afecciones
pulmonares, en que la reaccin es insuficiente o cuando ha estado presente una debilidad
desde el comienzo, se encuentra la tpica situacin que requiere Antim. tart. El paciente est
postrado, con poca fiebre, tiene fro y est cubierto de un sudor fro
Se pueden mencionar otras dos caractersticas del medicamento. En casi todas las dolencias
los sntomas producen somnolencia y a menudo existe una irresistible inclinacin a dormir.
La segunda caracterstica se relaciona con el estado de la piel: hay frialdad y el paciente
est baado en un sudor fro y viscoso. Los eructos mejoran los sntomas. Los nios se
enojan al ser tocados o incluso mirados.
Los sntomas mentales y temperamentales que caracterizan el medicamento son ntidos y
bien marcados. Se puede sintetizar la mentalidad del paciente con el rubro de Hering:
"malhumor". Si se trata de un nio, estar enojadizo e irritable y gemir y se quejar
continuamente. Aunque se puede aferrar a quienes estn a su alrededor y desea que lo
lleven en brazos, toma a mal que lo toquen, no quiere moverse, se niega a obedecer
cualquier orden; revela, en definitiva, un carcter dscolo que constituye un tormento para
la enfermera y para sus familiares, pero es una gua clara para el mdico. Con frecuencia se
necesitan Chamomilla y Pulsatilla en los trastornos gstricos de los nios: Pulsatilla es
adecuada para un estado lloroso, con deseo de consuelo y compaa, pero habitualmente sin
mal carcter: en realidad, un estado de nimo "fcil"; en cambio, si bien Chamomilla es
adecuada para nios de muy mal carcter, existe en stos un deseo profundo de simpata y
ayuda, por ms descomedido que sea ante las atenciones que se intentan. Cuando se debe
pensar en el antimonio (en cualquier preparacin) el malhumor se presenta sin ningn deseo
de consuelo y los intentos de prodigarlo empeoran el estado de nimo: el principal deseo
del nio es que "se lo deje solo". Los pacientes de mayor edad tendrn ms control, pero
ser bastante fcil advertir el malhumor y la irritabilidad. El enfermo est de malhumor y
prefiere que lo dejen solo; se pone irritable cuando se lo perturba y no quiere ser molestado.
Un gran desnimo acompaa el persistente malhumor, y tal abatimiento puede aumentar
hasta que el paciente entra en un estado de la mayor ansiedad, hasta tal punto que un
enfermo ansioso, postrado y con la superficie del cuerpo cubierta con sudor fro puede
presentar una cierta semejanza con el cuadro del paciente de Arsenicum. Puede sobrevenir
un estado en cierta medida contradictorio, pero que ilustra una modalidad general de la
droga: si se deja al paciente tranquilo, se puede poner sooliento y quedar dormido.
La cara del paciente de Antim. tart. es plida y enfermiza, cubierta con un sudor fro y con
los labios plidos y resecos. El conducto alimenticio es asiento de muchos sntomas
definidos. La lengua presenta una espesa saburra blanca, con bordes rojos. En la boca se
produce un copioso flujo de saliva. En este paciente la nusea es un sntoma destacado.
Junto con todos los sntomas gstricos y abdominales existe una nusea constante que
tiende a intensificar el estado ansioso de la mente y que con frecuencia es seguida por
vmitos si se ingieren alimentos. La nusea, las arcadas y los vmitos con debilidad y
postracin son sntomas acentuados que se asocian con todas las dolencias que requieren el
trtaro emtico. El vmito alivia transitoriamente la nusea.* En este contexto se observa
nuevamente la caracterstica general. Los vmitos tienden a ser seguidos por una sensacin
de languidez y somnolencia. Por lo general, hay un disgusto por los alimentos, con una
especial aversin a la leche, que produce nusea y vmitos. En algunos casos el paciente
puede apetecer cidos o frutas cidas que al ser ingeridos dan lugar a un resultado similar.
En la mayor parte de las dolencias el paciente no tiene sed (pero tambin puede haber sed
de agua fra en pequeas cantidades y a cortos intervalos).
En el abdomen se presenta dolor, pero predomina el malestar y la incomodidad, y las
evacuaciones son blandas, frecuentes, mucosas, generalmente amarillas o marrones y
ocasionalmente contienen sangre. La diarrea estival, cuando los vmitos constituyen un
sntoma marcado, con colapso y sudor fro, cede ante este remedio. La presencia de
sntomas gastrointestinales en la neumona o la viruela es una valiosa indicacin para
Antim. tart.
*No ocurre lo mismo en los pacientes de Ipecacuanha.
Su esfera de accin sobre los rganos respiratorios es vasta. Antim. tart. es uno de los
remedios ms apreciados en la prctica homeoptica para la neumona. Corresponde
especialmente a la bronconeumona de nios enfermizos y de los ancianos. Pero cualquiera
que sea la afeccin del pecho, bronconeumona, tos ferina o asma, existen caractersticos
rales mucosos aunque se expectora muy poco en comparacin de lo que se podra esperar,
porque el paciente est demasiado postrado para poder expulsar las mucosidades. La
expectoracin que se puede eliminar es de color blanco. Todas las dolencias respiratorias
van acompaadas por el estado general de este medicamento: postracin, irritabilidad,
tendencia a la somnolencia, palidez y sudor fro. La respiracin es rpida, corta y
dificultosa; el paciente desea estar sentado, y si se trata de un nio se encuentra mejor
cuando se lo lleva en brazos en una posicin erecta. Tal opresin respiratoria tiende a
culminar alrededor de las 3 de la maana. Se observa una extensin interesante de las
manifestaciones generales de Antim. tart. en nios dbiles, friolentos y plidos que padecen
tos ferina: el paroxismo de la tos es precedido por humor colrico o una crisis de llanto, y
suele presentarse despus de comer, beber o entrar en calor en la cama. Despus de la
cesacin del acceso sobreviene otro sntoma de Antim. tart.: el nio se vuelve sooliento y
se queda dormido.
Es interesante sealar que Trousseau, que apreciaba el medicamento para algunas
afecciones tor cicas agudas, observ que actuaba cuando haba sntomas gastrointestinales,
es decir, cuando desde un punto de vista homeoptico estaba mejor indicada por todo el
cuadro sintomtico.
En la neumona se puede hacer ms detallado y preciso el cuadro de la sintomatologa. Ya
se ha descrito la neumona que sugerira Aconitum y el caso que requiere Antimonium es
diferente en muchos aspectos. Un diagnstico fsico puede orientar de una manera legtima
el pensamiento de un mdico hacia un cierto grupo de remedios, pero resulta preferible que
est constantemente en guardia contra la prescripcin rutinaria. En todos los casos se debe
tomar la decisin sobre la base de los sntomas presentes en el enfermo individual real.
Ningn ser humano se parece exactamente a otro y cada caso necesita su propio remedio.
Segn se mencion, la aplicacin del trtaro emtico se encuentra en los ltimos estadios
de la neumona, especialmente en individuos de constitucin dbil. Corresponde al tipo de
neumona que no ha respondido y el paciente est gravemente enfermo. Se encuentra
postrado, con el rostro plido y contrado, los labios plidos o cianticos, est fro al tacto y
con un profuso sudor fro y viscoso. El estado mental es el que se asocia siempre con este
medicamento. El enfermo est deprimido, irritable y quejoso. Quiere que se lo deje solo y
si no se lo molesta estar acostado con bastante tranquilidad, formulando pocos pedidos a
quienes lo atienden. Existe una acentuada dificultad respiratoria, el pecho est lleno de
mucosidades, se pueden or los rales cuando el paciente respira, pero la expectoracin es
muy escasa; el esputo que elimina es blancuzco y el esfuerzo realizado al expectorar
provoca arcadas o incluso vmitos. El malestar respiratorio es agravado por el calor de la
habitacin y la posicin ms cmoda del paciente es la de sentado con el torso erecto. El
paciente no suele tener sed; experimenta aversin hacia todos los alimentos, especialmente
la leche, aunque puede haber un deseo de cidos o de frutas cidas. El estmago y el
abdomen estn distendidos con flatulencia y junto con ella existe tambin nusea constante
e intensa.
En el aparato genitourinario la homeopata no hace mucho uso del poder de este
medicamento para producir nefritis. A menos que los sntomas renales estn acompaados
por otros en otras partes, que sugieran Antim. tart., raras veces conducen por s mismos a la
eleccin de este medicamento. Tampoco afecta en gran medida los rganos sexuales. Parece
tener cierto poder sobre los papilomas y ha logrado xito clnico en las verrugas
gonorreicas.
La piel es asiento de un prurito pertinaz y es caracterstica una erupcin pustulosa
generalizada, que proporciona una indicacin local para el uso del medicamento en la
viruela. Hering menciona el valor del medicamento en varias afecciones cutneas en que
aparecen erupciones pustulosas. La Dra. Tyler destaca su eficacia en el imptigo
contagioso.
Otra indicacin se encuentra en la raquialgia muy intensa que afecta la parte inferior de la
columna y que corresponde al bien conocido sntoma precoz de la viruela. Pero Antim. tart.
puede aliviar dolores similares provenientes de otras causas si estn presentes los sntomas
peculiares del medicamento, por ejemplo, en el lumbago. El movimiento agrava el dolor, el
ms ligero esfuerzo puede causar arcadas y el paciente se cubre de inmediato de una
transpiracin fra y viscosa. En las experimentaciones aparecen dolores articulares; en estas
afecciones reumticas existe una congestin pasiva de las articulaciones, que es
especialmente molesta durante el tiempo fro y hmedo.
Por lo general, las dolencias que requieren tartrato de antimonio son agravadas por el
tiempo caluroso, la ropa muy abrigada y una habitacin caldeada, aunque tambin el tiempo
fro y hmedo puede agravar los sntomas. Estos ltimos suelen intensificarse al estar
acostado y el estar sentado los alivia; son agravados por la clera y la irritacin. Junto con
la nusea existe una aversin a los alimentos, en especial a la leche. Muchos sntomas se
agravan a la noche, especialmente alrededor de las 3 de la maana.

Aphis chenopodii glauci (Hering)
Animals have mostly proved valuable additions to our Materia Medica.

Animalized plants may be of the same importance.
A remedy prepared from a caterpillar existing on belladonna plant acted when the berries
and leaves of that plant appeared to be insufficient.
The Doryphora decemlineata containing solanine promises much according to the proving.
Aphis may also become an important animalized plant medicine, and is given a place here
to enable practitioners to try it.
It was proved and introduced by Dr. Meyer, and printed in Stapf's Archives, in 1835.
One cure in a very painful case of toothache was made by Dr. Raue.
We quote the words of the great entomologists, Kirby and Spence, from their famous
Introduction to Entomology, Vol.
I, 1815.
In the chapter on the direct benefits derived from insects, they mention how far medical
science is indebted to insects; and after enumerating how many, according to Lesser, had
been used in olden time, and before mentioning the very few "the sons of Hippocrates and
Galen now have recourse to, " the following very wise words are inserted : "I "cannot help
observing that their proscription of the remainder may have been to "indiscriminate.
Mankind are apt to run from one extreme to the other.
From "having ascribed too much efficacy to insect-remedies, we may now ascribe too
"little.
Many insects emit very powerful odors (as the acanthia suaveolens), and "some produce
extraordinary effects on the human frame; and it is an idea not "altogether to be rejected
that they may concentrate into a smaller compass the "properties and virtues of the plants
upon which they feed, and thus afford medicines more "powerful in operation than the
plants themselves. It is at least worth while to "institute a set of experiments with this view.
" The Old School did not regard this advice, but the New School has done it, and has
found, if not more power, more intensity of action in them.

APIS MELLIFICA
Apis es el remedio de las inflamaciones agudas que aparecen bruscamente, que evolucionan
con una extrema violencia y que se acompaan de edema y de derrame.
Para comprender bien Apis es preciso pensar en la picadura de abeja que produce al principio
una inflamacin aguda, inmediata y violenta, despus un dolor y por ltimo un exudado.
Tres caractersticas: la inflamacin, los dolores, la fiebre.
A) La inflamacin
La inflamacin se caracteriza por la formacin brusca y rpida de un exudado. Cmo se

manifiesta este exudado? Se puede estudiar a nivel de la piel, a nivel de las mucosas y a
nivel de las serosas.
1) A nivel de la piel. Se produce un edema. Cules son los caracteres ? Aparece "de manera
brusca", se forman casi inmediatamente, en un plazo muy corto. No es rojo, pero si
"rosado". Puede ser parcial o generalizado.
a) El edema parcial. Se presenta, ya bajo la forma de un edema franco, con tensin brillante
de la piel, que guarda la impresin del dedo; edema de los pies y de las manos; ya bajo el
aspecto de una hinchazn semitransparente que se observa ms particularmente a nivel
de los prpados. Los prpados superiores e inferiores estn rojos, hinchados,
edematizados. El edema es ms marcado a nivel de los prpados inferiores que penden
como pequeos sacos llenos de agua. La hinchazn es a veces tan considerable que el
prpado est evertido hacia afuera y muy rojo.
Otros remedios presentan edema de los prpados: tal como el edema de los prpados
superiores e inferiores de Arsenicum, que se acompaa generalmente de sensacin de
comezn y quemadura, mientras que el de Apis se acompaa de dolores picantes y
quemantes. Un signo permite diferenciar los dos remedios: con Apis la mejora es
constante por las aplicaciones fras, mientras que con Arsenicum se produce siempre por
las aplicaciones calientes.
Sealemos, en fin, a Kali carbonicum que provoca un edema parcial que asienta en el ngulo
interno del prpado superior.
b) El edema generalizado. Es un anasarca o edema generalizado que aparece bruscamente en

el transcurso de algunas horas. Todo lo que necesita de Apis se produce bruscamente,
rpidamente, con una violencia asombrosa. La piel est rosada, a veces distendida, pero
ms bien, blanda y serosa.
2) A nivel de las mucosas. La inflamacin se manifiesta, ya a nivel de la faringe, ya a nivel de

la laringe.
a) Faringe. La mucosa est "roja, brillante, barnizada": Esto no es muy caracterstico, puesto
que estos elementos significativos se encuentran en Belladona; pero, fenmeno constante
en Apis, que no se ve nunca en Belladona: el velo del paladar est edematizado, y existe
constantemente un edema de la vula. La vula pende entre los dos pilares como un
badajo semitransparente.
Este signo no aparece solamente en Apis, sino tambin en otro remedio: Kali bichromicum,
pero en Kali bich, existen siempre ulceraciones farngeas, particularmente sobre el lado
derecho de la vula, y estn rodeadas de una aureola roja y recubiertas de una secrecin
amarillenta, viscosa, adherente.
En fin, tenis un medio muy simple de diferenciar Apis y Kali bich., cuando no hay
ulceracin: los dolores picantes de Kali bich, son mejorados por el calor, por bebidas
calientes, por gargarismos calientes, mientras que los mismos dolores picantes de Apis
son agravados por el calor.
b) Laringe. Es el edema de la glotis, que sobreviene bruscamente, inesperadamente, en plena

salud, cuando el sujeto presenta una alteracin renal. El edema de la glotis aparece
tambin bruscamente en un nio que muerde una fruta que contenga abejas. La abeja
pica la mucosa y de pronto se produce un edema de la glotis que puede ocasionar la
muerte en 5 10 minutos, sino se interviene a tiempo. Cmo intervenir?. De una
manera muy simple: hay un antdoto de la picadura de abeja: es la Calndula. Si hacis
absorber al paciente 3 4 gotas de tintura madre en un poco de agua, el edema de la
glotis desaparece rpidamente. Tenis as antidotada la picadura de abeja y habis
impedido las reacciones habituales de exudado y de edema.
Agreguemos que el enfermo atacado de edema de la glotis, que necesita de Apis, presenta
una sensacin muy curiosa: como si cada respiracin fuere a ser la ltima.
3) Sobre las serosas. Todas las serosas pueden estar atacadas, y Apis puede ser til, tanto en
las pericarditis, como en las meningitis, en las pleuresas o en el reumatismo.
a) La pleura. Todos los derrames pleurticos de origen tuberculoso u otros y los hidrotrax
pueden necesitar de Apis. Cules son las caractersticas del derrame? Aparece
bruscamente, evoluciona rpidamente y es indoloro; el enfermo presenta disnea que
aumenta progresivamente, acompaada de una tos seca producida por una irritacin por
encima del esternn. El enfermo se siente peor en una atmsfera caliente. Mientras ms
calor hay en la habitacin, ms incmodo se siente. Aqu se encuentra la sensacin
caracterstica de Apis, "como si cada respiracin fuere a ser la ltima".
Si comparamos el derrame de Apis con el de Bryonia, veremos diferencias esenciales. El

derrame de Bryonia no aparece nunca inmediatamente, es precedido por un estadio
clnico, primitivo, que corresponde generalmente a Aconitum; no es sino poco a poco
como aparece el derrame, evoluciona lentamente y se acompaa de un dolor pungitivo
que hace que el enfermo se ponga en completo reposo e inmovilizarse sobre su lado
doloroso, ya que su dolor se mejora por la presin y el reposo. En cambio, en Apis el
derrame se produce brutalmente, como si la serosa hubiera sido picada por una abeja;
evoluciona muy rpidamente y casi sin dolor. Sin embargo, se produce un fenmeno que
demuestra el aumento rpido del derrame: la disnea progresiva.
b) Las serosas articulares. Todas las articulaciones pueden estar tocadas, encontraris
siempre un ataque brutal y una extrema violencia en la manifestacin de los sntomas. La
articulacin est inflamada, tensa, brillante, pero su gran caracterstica es ser "rosada".
La piel que la recubre no est ni roja ni plida, sino rosada.
Otra caracterstica: "la extrema sensibilidad al contacto". El enfermo no puede soportar el

menor roce. Si tomis la articulacin en masa, al comprimirla y aumentar su movilidad,
como en Bryonia, el enfermo comienza a dar gritos. Notaris, as la agravacin por el
movimiento, por el menor contacto, por la presin. En fin, encontramos los dolores
picantes y quemantes del Apis, siempre agravados por el calor y mejorados por el fro,
que estudiaremos en un instante. El enfermo atacado de reumatismo articular que
necesita Apis, detesta los envoltorios calientes y prefiere las aplicaciones fras.
B) Los dolores
Son "quemantes", como por un carbn ardiente. Hay un remedio que presenta tambin esta
modalidad: Arsenicum. Pero los dolores de Apis son tambin "picantes", como por
agujas. Y un remedio cuyos dolores son siempre lancinantes, como por cortes de agujas o
de cortaplumas: es Kali carb., que presenta igualmente edema, trastornos renales y
sntomas anlogos a los de Apis. Pero el desarrollo de los sntomas de Kali carb. es
esencialmente lento. En fin, existe un remedio de dolores picantes, pero como por agujas
de hielo es un Agaricus. Habitualmente se caracterizan los dolores de Apis quemantes
como por fuego y lancinantes como por cortes de agujas diciendo que el enfermo sufre
"como por agujas rojas al fuego". Tal es la caracterstica esencial de los dolores de Apis,
sobre todo si agregis que son muy violentos y que no residen solamente en la regin
enferma, sino que se extienden a todo el cuerpo. Por ejemplo, un enfermo que sufre de
reumatismo articular de la rodilla, de la mueca o del hombro, tendr dolores, no
solamente localizados en los sitios atacados, sino irradiados a distancia en todo el cuerpo.
Los dolores son "muy violentos", agravados siempre por el "calor" y por el "reposo"; al
contrario, mejorados por el "fro" y por el desplazamiento. Hay siempre tendencia, en
presencia de una inflamacin aguda, a poner compresas calientes. Cuando veis a un
sujeto agravado por aplicaciones calientes, pensad en Apis e investigad en vuestro sujeto
las caractersticas de este remedio.
Los dolores presentan tambin otra caracterstica: son "errticos", pero no cambian de lugar
lentamente; este cambio se produce "bruscamente", de un instante a otro: el enfermo
acusa un dolor de un lado, y algunos minutos despus, este dolor desaparece y se
manifiesta del otro lado.
Algunos remedios de la materia mdica presentan dolores errticos: Pulsatilla, Kali

bichromicum, Lac caninum. Los dolores de Lac caninum pasan de un lado al otro, pero
con cierta regularidad, tanto a la derecha como a la izquierda. Los de Kali bich. se
manifiestan como puntos dolorosos que pueden ser cubiertos por el dedo. Los de
Pulsatilla van y vienen; cambian no solamente de lugar sino de forma: por ejemplo, al
principio son tirantes, luego desgarrantes, o sordos, al principio y luego agudos, o
viceversa.
Apis y Pulsatilla son dos remedios extremadamente interesantes porque los dos son de la
misma naturaleza, es decir, que convienen a los mismos estados de intoxicacin, a los
mismos estados tuberculnicos. Y si uno (Pulsatilla) tiene ocasin de hacer una
eliminacin de sus toxinas bajo forma de secreciones amarillas, nunca irritantes, bajo la
forma de prdidas blancas, de coriza o de expectoracin; el otro (Apis) no tiene nunca la
ocasin de hacer una eliminacin: es una explosin sbita de toxinas que aparece
bruscamente y que se localiza sobre la piel, sobre una serosa o al nivel de una mucosa.
Una ltima caracterstica de los dolores de Apis: es "la extrema sensibilidad al menor
contacto". El ms pequeo tocamiento, an el roce de las sbanas, molesta al sujeto. Los
cabellos mismos son dolorosos cuando el enfermo los toca.
Agreguemos que todos los dolores de Apis evoluciona "de derecha a izquierda" y "de arriba a
abajo".
C) La fiebre
El escalofro de Apis aparece generalmente "a las 3 p.m.". Se acompaa de cierta sed; es muy
raro ver a un enfermo febril con escalofros pedir de beber. El escalofro de Apis es ms
marcado en una habitacin caliente y se acompaa de calor de las manos y de los pies.
Aunque tembloroso de fro, el enfermo de Apis "no quiere estar cubierto": rechaza las
coberturas. Por lo dems, el escalofro no dura largo tiempo.
El estadio de calor aparece muy rpidamente, y a partir de este momento, aunque est en
pleno perodo febril con elevacin considerable de la temperatura, el enfermo de Apis
jams tiene sed, aunque est transpirando. "La ausencia de sed" es caracterstica de Apis.
El enfermo tiene al mismo tiempo una impresin de disnea, de quemadura en el pecho;
despus sobrevienen los sudores, y, pasado el paroxismo febril, el enfermo se duerme.
Observacin importante. Si en el curso de una afeccin aguda encontris a vuestro enfermo,

ya seco y caliente, ya con transpiracin y ausencia de sed, pensad en Apis, que conviene
particularmente a estas alternancias de fiebre y de sudores.
Recordad que la cara de Apis no os dar casi ninguna caracterstica, porque como Belladonna
o Aconitum, el sujeto de Apis tiene tambin la cara congestionada; pero existe un punto
que, sin embargo, puede ser puesto en evidencia: la cara de Apis es "dolorosa" y los
prpados y el labio superior estn "inflamados".
II. CAUSAS HABITUALES
Cules son las causas habituales que pueden acarrear en un sujeto las manifestaciones que justifiquen el
empleo de Apis?
No se puede invocar ninguna causa ocasional. Estudiando Aconitum o Belladonna se puede

pensar en el fro; estudiando Bryonia se piensa en el fro hmedo. Pero en Apis nada de
esto se puede incriminar. La picadura de abeja produce la inoculacin virulenta, cuyos
efectos aparecen bruscamente. El enfermo de Apis sufre la accin violenta virulenta cuya
presencia se revela brutalmente. Y esta virulencia, cuyo origen puede ser variable, es
generalmente tuberculnica: todas las manifestaciones agudas de Apis se desarrollan
sobre un terreno tuberculnico.
Existe, sin embargo, una causa ocasional que puede ser incriminada, y ya se ha indicado otras
veces: es la accin del mar. Pero entindase bien. No es la permanencia a la orilla del
mar lo que va a desarrollar en un nio los efectos de Apis; es el regreso del mar a la
ciudad. Cuando veis a un nio que al regresar de la playa presenta bruscamente una
elevacin de temperatura ms o menos fuerte, con fenmenos a veces graves, a menudo
menngeos, tendris que pensar en Apis.
Por lo tanto, es til prescribir una dosis de Apis a la 30 C. a todos los nios tuberculnicos
que regresen a la ciudad despus de una permanencia prolongada a la orilla del mar. Esta
dedicacin preventiva me ha prestado grandes servicios.
III. ESTUDIO CLNICO
Estudiemos clnicamente los sujetos que necesitan de Apis.

1) El enfermo menngeo
Su gran caracterstica es estar rpidamente abatido: en el espacio de 2, 3 4 horas. El

comienzo de la enfermedad es casi fulminante. El nio cae bruscamente enfermo
presentando un estado de abatimiento, un estado de estupor que puede ir hasta el coma
.Este gran estado de inconsciencia se instala rpidamente y si no se interviene a tiempo,
el nio est perdido. No sale de su estado sino para presentar convulsiones o dar gritos.
Durante las convulsiones, siempre agravadas por el calor, agita la cabeza o los miembros.
Tenemos por caso un nio que regresa de la playa y que cae enfermo en las condiciones
sealadas: se dice generalmente que se ha resfriado y se le prepara una hoguera en la
habitacin. Mientras ms caliente se encuentre, mayores son las convulsiones. La cabeza
est rgida, el enfermo presenta "rigidez de la nuca", pero esta rigidez no es constante y
es precisamente la movilidad de la cabeza lo que engaa al mdico. El nio "corre su
cabeza sobre la almohada de izquierda a derecha", o bien, se hunde en la almohada. En
fin, "trilla los dientes".
Cuando grita, emite "gritos agudos", inarticulados, de verdaderas crisis enceflicas. Presenta
la cara congestionada, un "aspecto embrutecido", estpido. Los ojos estn semicerrados,
inyectados, las "pupilas dilatadas".
Agreguemos que el enfermo no lleva nunca la mano a su cabeza, lo que es bastante

importante porque nos permite diferenciar Apis de otro remedio: Helleborus. Repetimos
que el enfermo siempre se agrava con el calor, por un bao caliente o por compresas
calientes. Es por esta razn por la cual se despoja y rechaza las coberturas. Pensad en el
pequeo que tiene convulsiones y adems trilla los dientes, se cree que tiene lombrices y
entonces se le pone en un bao caliente. Esto naturalmente empeora al nio. Es este un
signo claro de Apis.
Ensayemos diferenciar Apis de Belladonna y de Helleborus. Belladonna es solamente un

congestivo; mientras que Apis no es nicamente congestivo sino tambin inflamatorio y
presenta siempre alteracin lesional. Adems, Apis busca siempre el fro, es mejorado
por compresas de agua fra, mientras que Belladonna no tiende a descubrirse, antes por el
contrario, busca estar bien cubierto.
Helleborus es muy semejante a Apis y si no conocis a fondo vuestra materia mdica, los
podis confundir. Helleboro es secundario a Apis o Belladona, mientras que Apis aparece
desde el primer estadio de la meningitis. El estado de Helleborus es un estado instalado,
mientras que el de Apis se prepara. El enfermo de Helleborus est en coma, tiene la cara
plida, los ojos inyectados, abiertos, insensibles a la luz. Emite suspiros involuntarios,
agudos, exactamente como el enfermo de Apis, pero lleva siempre la mano a la cabeza;
esta es una pequea modalidad interesante. Lo mismo que Apis, mueve la cabeza sobre la
almohada, la hunde en ella; pero se rasca los labios hasta sangrar y tiene carfologa.
El enfermo de Helleborus masculla, refunfua; presenta dos signos caractersticos: un hedor

espantoso de la boca que est siempre abierta, porque su mandbula inferior est
colgante, y un movimiento automtico en un brazo o una pierna. Si este movimiento se
hace del lado izquierdo, por ejemplo, el miembro superior, o el inferior, del lado derecho
est paralizado.
Recordaris tal vez que en Bryonia existe un movimiento automtico del brazo y de la
pierna, pero este movimiento se produce nicamente del lado izquierdo, jams del lado
derecho, y el lado opuesto nunca est paralizado. Es un trastorno funcional reflejo. No se
trata aqu de una alteracin lesional, como en Helleborus. Esta alteracin lesional de
Helleborus est del todo fijada y localizada; en Apis est esbozada, desde el punto de
vista de la localizacin.
He tenido la oportunidad de asistir a la hija de un colega, de 6 aos de edad, que presentaba

exactamente los sntomas de Apis. Le di Apis 30a y en espacio de 48 horas los
fenmenos menngeos retrocedieron; despus con Sulfur iodatum, Pulsatilla y,
posteriormente Marmoreck, la nia se restableci. Hoy en da est casada, es madre de
familia y es una mujer muy fuerte. Cosa curiosa: esta nia haba regresado de la playa 48
horas antes; entra exactamente en la categora de los casos que he citado.
2) El enfermo digestivo
Dejando de un lado intencionalmente la angina aguda de Apis, que no tiene mayor inters,
veamos cmo se presenta un enfermo agudo digestivo que necesite de Apis.
Se trata generalmente de una inflamacin intestinal aguda con reaccin peritoneal

secundaria. El abdomen est muy sensible. El vientre balonado y tenso, doloroso a tal
punto que el enfermo no puede soportar el menor contacto. Pequeo signo a notar: si el
enfermo estornuda tiene la sensacin de algo que se rompe en su vientre, es por esta
razn por la cual no puede ir al retrete. Recordaris que Bryonia no puede ir al retrete,
porque el menor esfuerzo le repercute en la cabeza con sensacin de estallido. Para el
enfermo de Apis es esto lo que sucede en el vientre: "como si alguna cosa fuera a
romperse".
Al examen encontraris el hgado y el bazo aumentados de volumen y sensibles. El enfermo

adopta cierta posicin para aliviar su vientre: se inclina hacia adelante o repliega las
piernas sobre el abdomen.
Otra caracterstica interesante: presenta siempre un dolor "bajo las falsas costillas"; dolor ms
marcado del lado izquierdo.
Otro remedio que da dolores bajo las falsas costillas, tambin del lado izquierdo, es
Argentum nitricum; pero Argentum nitricum es un remedio crnico de la lcera del
estmago, mientras que Apis es un remedio de inflamacin aguda con reaccin
peritoneal.
Examinando al enfermo de Apis constataris meteorismo, una ligera ascitis y edema de la

pared.
Desde el punto de vista funcional digestivo existen dos categoras de sntomas diferentes: o
bien el enfermo presenta una peritonitis bacilar con constipacin inevitable, porque no
puede hacer el menor esfuerzo en razn de la sensacin de rotura que repercute en su
vientre cada vez que intenta pujar. O bien el enfermo presenta una alteracin intestinal
aguda con diarrea que reviste una forma caracterstica: las heces son "involuntarias", se
escapan "como si el ano estuviera ampliamente abierto". Agreguemos que las heces
involuntarias se producen cuando el enfermo hace el menor movimiento. An el hecho
de moverse en su cama provoca la evacuacin.
Cmo son las heces? Son acuosas, generalmente verduscas; son ftidas, en nmero de 6 a 8
por da. Su gran caracterstica es, como lo acabamos de decir, producirse
involuntariamente; el enfermo no siente sus materias fecales que se le salen. Adems,
presenta fiebre elevada con ausencia total de sed.
Apis ser un buen remedio -cuando sus indicaciones caractersticas estn presentes- de la
peritonitis bacilar, de las infecciones graves como la tifoidea, o de las infecciones
intestinales que se desarrollan en el curso de las enfermedades eruptivas cuando la
erupcin es brutalmente suprimida.
3) El enfermo urinario
Apis no tiene sed y bebe poco. Al beber poco, las orinas son escasas y a menudo observaris
en l inflamaciones y alteraciones de la vejiga y el rin.
Por parte de la vejiga: cistitis. El enfermo tiene sensacin de quemaduras y dolores al orinar.
Principalmente las ltimas gotas son dolorosas, picantes y quemantes. La orina es rara,
poco abundante, ftida, oscura y algunas veces contiene sangre. El enfermo tiene
necesidad de orinar y no puede porque ello le hace mal. Cuando esta sensacin se
exagera, particularmente en el lactante, se observa retencin de orina. Pensaris que, por
lo tanto, existe orina en la vejiga, pero el nio no puede orinar a causa de los dolores,
"grita antes de orinar" porque sabe que va a sufrir. Antiguamente se empleaba un
remedio casero muy simple: las nodrizas vertan agua hirviendo sobre abejas, luego
hacan beber la solucin enfriada a sus criaturas, quienes entonces orinaban sin dolor.
Podis obtener el mismo resultado con Apis 6 o 30a.
El enfermo de Apis tiene no solamente su vejiga tocada, sino tambin sus riones. Y esto se
caracteriza por un sntoma muy importante: "el edema" que aparece brutalmente: edema
de los prpados, de la cara, de las extremidades. La orina se hace muy oscura y a menudo
sanguinolenta. Tiene albmina. Sntoma muy particular: el enfermo "no puede orinar sin
evacuar al mismo tiempo". No puede hacer una cosa sin la otra, est obligado a hacer las
dos a la vez.
Un remedio que puede compararse con Apis es Cantharis; pero desde el punto de vista de la
evolucin clnica existe una gran diferencia entre los dos. Apis se manifiesta por el
edema, por un exudado de comienzo, luego aparecen los fenmenos urinarios, dolores,
albmina, sangre, etc. En Cantharis son los signos inflamatorios los que aparecen
primero, sangre en las orinas y dolores extremadamente violentos; el edema aparece
secundariamente. Notaris que el enfermo de Cantharis presenta siempre una excitacin
genital.
4) El enfermo genital
En Apis no hay nunca excitacin genital; sealemos de paso que es el antdoto de Cantharis.
La mujer que necesita de Apis presenta dos fenmenos, o bien amenorrea, o bien
dismenorrea.
En la amenorrea hay dos sntomas: uno local y el otro general.
El sntoma local: una sensacin de "presin hacia abajo" como si los rganos quisieran
salirse, sensacin que recuerda la de Sepia y la de Natrum muriaticum, pero en Apis se
ejerce ms bien en la regin lumbar y a nivel del sacro.
El sntoma general: se produce por parte del cerebro. Es el momento en que se desarrollan en
la mujer la "tristeza", la "melancola", las "pesadillas". Algunas veces se revelan dando
gritos. presenta sobre todo un raro estado psquico: se desespera sin saber porqu. En
realidad es porque ella no tiene sus reglas, sus trastornos endcrinos acarrean desrdenes
psquicos. Su cerebro est fatigado, "incapaz de coordinar sus pensamientos". La
enferma es tambin "incapaz de coordinar sus movimientos": se hace torpe, da pasos en
falso y "deja caer los objetos que tiene en sus manos".
Dos remedios combaten esta torpeza: Apis y Bovista, y por dos razones diferentes: con Apis
el trastorno es puramente nervioso, Bovista tiene la sensacin como si los dedos
estuvieran hinchados; son esos enfermos en los cuales el manejo de unas tijeras deja una
profunda impresin sobre los dedos. Bovista no tiene suspensin de las reglas, ya que la
enferma las ve aparecer a mitad de mes; en fin, la enferma presenta otro pequeo signo:
la sensacin de estiramiento de la cabeza, como si bruscamente se hiciera muy grande.
Estudiemos ahora la dismenorrea de Apis. Las reglas son dolorosas. Cmo? La enferma
presenta un dolor a nivel del "ovario derecho": dolor punzante, quemante, agravado por
el calor, mejorado con compresas fras o aplicaciones de hielo. No solamente la enferma
sufre del ovario derecho, sino que presenta un dolor reflejo en el pecho, que se
manifiesta a la izquierda, un "dolor pectoral izquierdo".
La enferma est peor acostada, un poco mejor sentada y "mucho mejor cuando se pasea"; es,
pues, a la inversa de lo que se produce en la generalidad de los casos, porque, por lo
regular, se est mejor sentado que de pie y mejor acostado que sentado. Pero la enferma
de Apis presenta exactamente lo contrario.
Estos signos se encuentran en ciertas variedades de quistes del ovario, y ms particularmente

en la ovaritis derecha de origen tuberculoso.
5) El enfermo cutneo
Toda inflamacin aguda de la piel puede justificar el uso de Apis: fornculos, abscesos,
erisipela, urticaria. Pero no hay que olvidar que el enfermo es siempre "agravado por
compresas calientes" y "mejorado por las compresas fras".
Los dolores se desarrollan generalmente de "derecha a izquierda" y se acompaan de un

"edema rosado" ligeramente abultado. El enfermo "no tiene nunca sed", cualquiera que
sea la temperatura que presente. Orina poco. Es as como, al principio de la erisipela, es
necesario pensar en utilizar Apis, cuando se produce bruscamente una mala eliminacin
urinaria.
Del psiquismo de Apis hay poco que decir; no existe, por decirlo as. No son ms que
algunos trastornos cerebrales que pueden producirse cuando a la enferma se le suspenden
las reglas o los trastornos menngeos, que pueden ser descritos bajo esta rbrica.
Existe un enfermo crnico de Apis?
Si, aquel que es atacado de nefritis crnica y que ve que sus orinas disminuyen bruscamente.
La indicacin de Apis aparece tanto ms si se produce un edema violento, muy marcado,
a veces un anasarca generalizado y, sobre todo, una hinchazn por debajo de los
prpados inferiores que penden como sacos llenos de agua.
Lo que hay que tener presente, sobre todo, es la afinidad particular de Apis para todo terreno
tuberculnico, o ms bien, para todas las manifestaciones agudas que se desarrollan sobre
un terreno tuberculnico.
Natrum muriaticum es el complementario de Apis.
Recordaris que el enfermo desarrollar signos claros de Apis al regresar de la playa.

Mientras que sus oxidaciones y sus cambios se hacan bien, ahora encuentra una
atmsfera confinada o txica en la cual el organismo se encuentra como bloqueado. Las
eliminaciones toxinicas no se efectan, el organismo se rebela y en un esfuerzo violento,
"explota" una crisis de eliminacin brutal que puede ser saludable si es "bien observada",
"bien comprendida"y "bien ayudada"; que es desastrosa si se hace un diagnstico clnico
errneo y se aplica una teraputica impotente y daina.
APIS MELLIFICA (Nash)
Dolores pungitivos y ardientes (como picaduras de abeja): en los prpados, en la

garganta, en los panadizos e infecciones periungueales, en las hemorroides, en los ovarios
( especialmente en el derecho ), en las mamas (mastitis), en la piel (erisipela, urticaria,
ntrax).
Gran edema: general o local; (cara, pabellones auriculares, prpados, especialmente

los inferiores); garganta (difteria); genitales (sobre todo el escroto); piel (erisipela y
urticaria); en cualquier parte; anasarca generalizada, ascitis. Estos edemas se hallan asociados
a los dolores caractersticos o no estn acompaados de ningn dolor.
Estupor con gritos agudos, repentinos y penetrantes, en enfermedades cerebrales (cri

encphalique).
Ausencia de sed, particularmente en la hidropesa y durante la hipertermia de las
fiebres intermitentes.
Piel alternativamente seca y transpirada.
Sofocacin: sensacin de que cada respiracin fuera a ser la ltima, especialmente en

afecciones hidrpicas o en la etapa hipertermia de las fiebres intermitentes.
Modalidades: < despus de dormir, al tacto (muy sensible), por el calor y la

habitacin caliente; > en una habitacin fresca, al aire fro y por las aplicaciones fras.
Malos efectos de la supresin o retrocesin de los exantemas: sarampin, escarlatina,

urticaria.
Heces diarreicas involuntarias, con la sensacin de que el ano estuviera enteramente

abierto.
Considero que tambin en este remedio, la caracterstica principal se halla en una

sensacin: los dolores ardientes y pungitivos. Estos son agudos y rpidos, como la picadura
de una abeja. Estos dolores son tan caractersticos de este remedio como lo es el prurito
como por sabaones de Agaricus o los ardores de Arsenicum y Sulphur; pero los ardores de
Apis se alivian con el fro, mientras que los de Arsenicum se alivian con el calor.
El dolor pungitivo se presenta en numerosas enfermedades y en diversas clases de

tejidos. Puede asentar en las serosas o en las meninges; en este caso aparecen esos "gritos
agudos, repentinos y penetrantes ("cri cerebral"), que acompaan a afecciones tan serias
como la hidrocefalia, la meningitis cerebroespinal o el tifus cerebral, para las cuales el
remedio es entonces Apis. Tambin encontramos estos dolores en las mucosas, como por
ejemplo: en la garganta y en las hemorroides; el ardor en mayor o menor grado est casi
siempre presente al mismo tiempo. Los hallamos, asimismo, en forma muy pronunciada, en
los ovarios. Ha demostrado ser un remedio muy valioso para los cnceres, an para los
ulcerados, cuando existen estos dolores pungitivos y ardientes. Igualmente en las infecciones
periungueales y yo he visto seguir a su administracin rpidas curaciones en los panadizos.
Hering se expresa as: "enrojecimiento y tumefaccin con dolor pungitivo y ardiente en los
ojos, prpados, odos, cara, labios, lengua, garganta, ano y testculos.( > por las
aplicaciones fras, habra que agregar.)
Vemos as cmo el organismo en general est sometido a la accin de este remedio.

En las enfermedades de la piel, sobre todo en los exantemas agudos, ste es el gran sntoma
gua y est especialmente indicado en afecciones del encfalo y de las meninges, causadas
por una brusca supresin de enfermedades cutneas.
-Veamos ahora otra alteracin general para la cual este remedio parece estar tan cerca
de ser un especfico como ningn otro. Se trata de una infiltracin del tejido celular, un
estado edematoso o hidrpico. Este estado se presenta casi desde el comienzo de las
enfermedades inflamatorias y se extiende a la etapa exudativa, an a las afecciones
hidrpicas crnicas.
En esos casos de difteria, intensamente violentos y rpidos, en los cuales la garganta

entera est invadida por una hinchazn edematosa, de donde pende la vula como una bolsa
transparente llena de agua (Kali bichromicum, Rhus toxicodendron) y el paciente est en
inminente peligro de muerte por sofocacin debida a un verdadero cierre de la garganta y de
la laringe, no hay otro remedio como Apis. En estos casos, pueden estar presentes los dolores
pungitivos y ardientes o bien, puede haber una absoluta ausencia de dolor, lo que es ms
peligroso todava, porque el paciente no se queja de nada hasta que el proceso est muy
avanzado. Baptisia tiene ausencia de dolor en afecciones de la garganta, pero la hinchazn no
se constituye tan rpidamente como la de Apis y adems no hay edema.
Hace muchos aos fui llamado en consulta a Watkins Glen, N.Y. para atender un caso
muy grave de difteria. Una persona de la familia haba fallecido y cuatro personas ms
murieron ese da en la localidad. Ms de cuarenta casos fueron mortales en ese lugar y se
produjo un xodo lgicamente justificado. El mdico que la trataba era un noble anciano de
cabellos blancos, un hombre bueno y capaz. Cuando lo mir con respeto y le hice notar que
era un tanto joven para aconsejarlo, me dijo: "Doctor, estoy de rodillas ante todo el mundo,
porque todos los que fueron atacados por la enfermedad han muerto". La paciente estaba
separada de nosotros por dos habitaciones, pero an as poda or su trabajosa respiracin.
Apis era, en ese entonces, un remedio comparativamente nuevo para esa enfermedad, pero
cuando le examin la garganta, vi Apis al instante y unas cuantas preguntas confirmaron mi
presuncin. Le dije al mdico lo que pensaba y le pregunt si lo haba ensayado. Me
respondi que no, que no haba pensado en ese remedio, pero como era un poderoso veneno
de la sangre, convena hacer la prueba. Apis cur ese caso y ya no muri ningn otro
enfermo tratado con este medicamento desde el comienzo y en forma persistente. Era el
remedio para el genio epidmico. (Ver mi comunicacin sobre esto en el volumen XII del
Hahnemannian Monthly.)
Este estado edematoso de Apis puede encontrarse casi en cualquier parte del cuerpo,
pero se nota especialmente en la boca y en la garganta, en los prpados, alrededor de los ojos
(Phosphorus: en toda la cara); los prpados inferiores penden como bolsas de agua. ( Kali
carbonicum: en los prpados superiores.) En la erisipela, la hinchazn de la piel tiene este
aspecto edematoso y se acompaa generalmente de dolores pungitivos. Algunas veces el
edema aumenta hasta llegar a formar gruesos sacos de agua de aspecto ampolloso.
La efusin hidrpica puede ser general o local. Se la encuentra en la cavidad torcica,

en los ovarios, en la cavidad abdominal, en el escroto y en los genitales femeninos. Un
sntoma peculiar que facilita la eleccin entre l y otros remedios en la hidropesa, es la casi
absoluta ausencia de sed (con sed: Acetic acidum, Arsenicum y Apocynum).
-Quiero ahora, adems de lo ya escrito, llamar la atencin hacia algunas afecciones y

sntomas particulares, para los cuales Apis debera ser recordado. Un sntoma muy
importante, todava no mencionado, es la sensibilidad al tacto, como la que existe en una
zona contusa. Esto se encuentra particularmente en las regiones abdominal, uterina y ovrica,
pero de ninguna manera queda limitada a ellas, porque podemos hallar excesivamente
sensible al tacto toda la superficie del cuerpo; hasta los cabellos parecen sensibles (China
officinalis). Esta hiperestesia se encuentra a menudo en la meningitis cerebroespinal y es una
excelente indicacin de Apis. En la erisipela, esta sensibilidad est con frecuencia presente,
pero adems de Apis, tambin la posee Hepar sulphur.
El sueo de Apis es, o bien muy agitado, o si no, en las enfermedades cerebrales llega
a ser un profundo estupor interrumpido ocasionalmente por gritos penetrantes. En este caso,
no debe ser olvidado Apis.
En todas las afecciones inflamatorias y tambin en las fiebres intermitentes, si se halla
al paciente alternativamente seco y caliente o transpirado, se debe pensar tambin en Apis.
Ningn otro remedio tiene esta alternancia tan marcada como Apis.
Sensacin de que cada respiracin fuera a ser la ltima: ste es un sntoma muy
caracterstico y se presenta no slo en las afecciones hidrpicas del pecho, sino que parece
ser tambin un sntoma nervioso.
En la escarlatina Apis est especialmente indicado, si la erupcin tarda en aparecer o

si es repelida y de esto resultan serios trastornos cerebrales. No es menos eficaz en las
hidropesas postescarlatinosas, si los sntomas no indican algn otro remedio.
APIS MELLIFICA (Lathoud)
Este medicamento se designa de dos maneras distintas segn sea su forma de preparacin:
APIS VIVUS, que es el nombre del medicamento preparado con el veneno de la abeja
solamente, y APIS MELLIFICA que representa al remedio obtenido de la trituracin del
insecto entero.
El primer sntoma producido por una abeja que pica una parte cualquiera del cuerpo, es un
DOLOR AGUDO, ARDIENTE, LANCINANTE, CON ESCASA LATENCIA Y
SENSACIN DE PINCHAZOS. En esa regin se produce un EDEMA ms o menos
abundante con SENSACIN DE MAGULLADURA. Hinchazn primero ROSADA,
intensificndose hasta tener ASPECTO ERISIPELATOSO AL FINAL. Luego, despus
del aumento del calor y dolores, los sntomas disminuyen, se reabsorbe el edema y
sobreviene la curacin. A veces la herida puede volverse GANGRENOSA; la
inflamacin no tiene el carcter astnico de la curacin de la herida de arsenicum, es
decir, repentina hinchazn terminada en una resolucin brusca; tampoco es como en
BELL., con hinchazn roja y dolores latentes, pulstiles, que termina por resolucin o
por supuracin; es una INFLAMACIN GANGRENOSA QUE TIENDE A LA
DESTRUCCIN DE LOS TEJIDOS.
Los sntomas de intoxicacin sobrevienen con una rapidez acorde con la sensibilidad del
individuo. "Pueden invadir rpida y violentamente al organismo hasta provocar una neta
inconsciencia. El sujeto muy sensible a las picaduras de abeja sufre de nuseas
acompaadas de sensacin de ansiedad, angustia, muy penosa, hacindole pensar que va
a morir; en 10 minutos lo cubre una urticaria extremadamente ardiente, mortificante;
pide a gritos un bao fro temiendo morir en seguida si no se calman sus atroces
sufrimientos; se retuerce, se enrosca, como si quisiera despedazarse. El antdoto de este
estado es CARBOL. AC. (Kent). En los efectos de esta picadura percibimos todos los
sntomas de APIS. Generalmente puede afirmarse que APIS acta sobre todo el
organismo, localizndose en forma de HINCHAZN RPIDA CON RUBOR PLIDO,
PICAZN ARDIENTE, AGUDA, SENSACIN DE MAGULLADURA, y una
INFILTRACIN EDEMA TOSA MUY CARACTERSTICA.
Puede decirse que APIS acta especialmente sobre LA PIEL, MUCOSAS, SEROSAS, y
GLNDULAS GENITALES, preferentemente LOS OVARIOS, particularmente el
derecho.
"Sobre la piel de todo el cuerpo hay una ERUPCIN ESPESA, ROSADA, RUGOSA; esto
ltimo se percibe al tacto. Al comienzo, gran angustia por el calor y piel sumamente
sensible con o sin erupcin. Luego aparece un estado inflamatorio erisipelatoso, con
frecuencia en la cara acompaado de dolores quemantes, ardientes y edema. Sobre la piel
el edema es hidrpico; erupcin rojo plido, urticaria, estado erisipeloso, todo lo cual
puede alcanzar las mucosas. (Kent).
A. Claude y P. Jousset dicen: "Bajo la piel, ms a menudo en la cara, APIS produce

hinchazn edema tosa con rasgos erisipelosos; en la zona de la lesin, donde hay gran
sensibilidad y afectacin dolorosa, hay fornicaciones, puntadas, ardor y sensacin de
tensin como si los vasos estuviesen infartados". Continan diciendo : "El tejido celular
se infiltra y las mucosas se inflaman;estas ltimas se inflaman violentamente y se
vuelven turgescentes; a veces secas, otras cubiertas de una secrecin viscosa o de una
capa pultcea, a veces con vesculas y excoriaciones; hay all comezn, puntadas,
escozor y quemadura y sensacin caracterstica de plenitud. La inflamacin puede
alcanzar a ciertos conductos, la trquea por ej.; fenmenos de obstruccin que pueden
interferir toda accin mecnica; espasmos en la laringe, a veces tan violentos que obligan
al paciente a desprenderse la corbata, la camisa, etc., todo lo que parece obstruir su
respiracin. Abre puertas y ventanas; no soporta el calor de su habitacin".
El veneno de abeja inflama tambin las serosas produciendo derrames de proceso ms o

menos, agudo, lo cual sucede generalmente en derrames de origen infeccioso o a frigore.
Tambin inflama testculos y ovarios. Esto ltimo es ms frecuente que lo primero. A veces
son puntadas que van de uno a otro ovario y terminan en fuertes sufrimientos. Esta
accin femenina es muy marcada, habiendo sido el remedio usado con xito,
principalmente en las "viudas" (Jahr), en malestares relacionados con funciones sexuales
o afecciones ovricas.
Caractersticas
DOLORES AGUDOS, ARDIENTES COMO PICADURA DE ABEJA, CALMADOS POR

APLICACIONES FRAS. Dolores como producidos por agujas al rojo vivo que van de
un lado a otro, DE DERECHA A IZQUIERDA, calmados por aplicaciones fras y
agravados por el calor.
Dice Hering: "Enrojecimiento e hinchazn con dolores agudos, ardientes, sensacin de

pinchazos en ojos, orejas, cara, lengua, garganta, ano, testculos y ovarios". Y agrega
Nash: "Deben agregarse los panadizos, afecciones de la piel, etc. "La asociacin:
"pinchazos y quemadura" solamente en APIS.
EDEMA. INFILTRACIN, HIDROPESA DE LOS TEJIDOS; TENDENCIA GENERAL A

EDEMA PLIDO, CEROSO, TRANSPARENTE, MUY SENSIBLE AL MENOR
CONTACTO (Dahlke). El tinte plido seroso de la regin edema tosa es caracterstica
del remedio. ORINA ESCASA Y CASI SIEMPRE AUSENCIA DE SED. Este ltimo
sntoma permite distinguir a APIS de los dems remedios de la Hidropesa; ACET. AC.,
APOCYN., ARS. ALB., CACTUS, que tienen sed, particularmente los 3 primeros. APIS
es el remedio de los edemas que rpidamente llegan a la hidropesa crnica. Tambin hay
que diferenciarlo de PHOSPH., que tiene edema de toda la cara;especialmente el prpado
inferior, mientras que KALI CARB. lo tiene en el prpado superior. En la hinchazn
edema tosa de garganta en las difterias violentas y rpidas, en la erisipela cuya piel tiene
hinchazn de aspecto edema toso, en la infiltracin serosa inflamatoria de las meninges
cuando sobreviene el "grito enceflico", y cuando durante el sueo hay gritos agudos que
hacen presagiar una irritacin de pinchazos caractersticos, APIS es el remedio.
DOLORACIN Y SENSIBILIDAD AL TACTO; ESTA COMO MAGULLADO. Esta

sensibilidad general al tacto y a la presin es caracterstica y a veces acompaa al edema.
Es un signo ms marcado en las zonas uterino y abdomino-ovrica, sin que signifique
una localizacin exclusiva.
Puede haber sensibilidad al tacto en TODA LA SUPERFICIE DEL CUERPO, y hasta los
cabellos parecen doler (CHINA); esto se encuentra generalmente en la meningitis
cerebro-espinal y constituye una gran indicacin de APIS. Esta sensibilidad se observa
tambin en la erisipela de HEP. SULF. CALC. (Nash).
PIEL ALTERNATIVAMENTE SECA Y CALIENTE AL TRANSPIRAR; Ningn remedio

tiene esta alternativa tan marcada como APIS; a l debe recurrirse cuando se la encuentra
netamente marcada en una enfermedad inflamatoria o en una fiebre intermitente.
Modalidades
A) Lateralidad
Derecha. Los sntomas van DE DERECHA A IZQUIERDA Y DE ARRIBA HACIA ABAJO;

en RHUS TOX, VAN de izquierda a derecha; en AGAR., alternados (brazo derecho y
pierna izquierda, etc.). En LEDUM suben de las extremidades a la cabeza; en KALMIA,
a la inversa.
B) Agravacin
a) POR EL CALOR, que no puede soportar; el calor agrava los sntomas de la piel, igual
que los cardacos, larngeos, etc. A veces la agravacin la produce el agua caliente,
habitacin caliente, el fuego o la ropa abrigada. TODO LO QUE ES CALIENTE
MOLESTA AL PACIENTE DE APIS.
b) POR LA TARDE, de 16 a 18 hs.

c) Despus del sueo (LACH., COCC., SPONG., OPIUM, etc.).
d) Por el tacto y la presin.
C) Mejora
Al aire libre, descubrindose, por los baos fros; los dolores son calmados POR
APLICACIONES FRAS.
Sntomas mentales
Son muy marcados en APIS, y lo ms notable del estado mental es su AGRAVACIN POR
EL CALOR (Kent).
Triste, a menudo llora sin cesar y sin motivo, llora da y noche y no duerme a causa de sus
pensamientos torturantes que lo obsesionan; todo lo atormenta.
Depresin espiritual con llanto constante. Tristeza y melancola; irritabilidad extrema;

sospechoso y celoso; sin alegra, es indiferente a todo cuanto podra hacerle feliz. No se
adapta a lo que podra alegrarle, y piensa que las alegras no son para l, sino para los
dems. Indiferente, aptico celoso (LACH., HYOSC., ) tambin inconsciente, por lo que
no puede pensar claramente.
Actitud atontada, embobada, infantil, (parturienta o mujer en edad avanzada que charla
estpidamente).
Sensacin de que va a morir, presiente la muerte, la teme, temor a la apopleja; por esta
angustia de la muerte APIS se relaciona con ACON., ARS. ALB., AGN. CAST., y
PHOSPH.
Estupor que alterna con mana o estupor acompaado de grito enceflico.
Dificultad en coordinar los movimientos; torpeza, deja caer los objetos de la mano (NATR.
MUR., LACH., BOVISTA, AETHUSA, IGNAT., NUX VOMO., HELLEB., y
TARENT., tienen tambin esta torpeza, principalmente el primero de esta serie).
Perturbaciones despus de susto, clera, vejacin, ataque de celos o al recibir malas noticias;
luego de shock mental, parlisis grave de todo el lado derecho. (Kent).
"En APIS, lo mismo que en BELL. y HELLEB. vemos girar la cabeza, rechinar los dientes,
ojos brillantes, amenaza de convulsiones, lleva su mano a la cabeza, acompaado todo
esto de un estado de semi-inconsciencia apenas perturbada por un grito agudo, el grito
enceflico, que denota inflamacin y congestin cerebrales. El nio lanza gritos agudos
durante el sueo al comienzo de un caso de APIS". (Kent).
Sueo
Muy agitado; grita y se estremece durante el sueo. Sueos inquietos por preocupaciones de
trabajo. Estupor profundo quebrado solamente por gritos agudos, penetrantes.
Cabeza
Sensacin de FATIGA CEREBRAL TOTAL. SENSACIN DE CALOR, de dolor pulstil,

latente; LA CABEZA PARECE ESTAR DISTENDIDA; esto se agrava por el
movimiento y mejora por la presin. (ARG. NITR.).
Dolores sbitos y penetrantes; sensacin de pesadez en el occipucio como despus de un

golpe, acompaada de excitacin sexual y mejora por la presin.
Hunde la cabeza en la almohada y lanza gritos agudos, penetrantes.
Vrtigo que empeora al acostarse y cerrando los ojos.
APIS tiene importancia como agente curativo en la MENINGITIS y en la IRRITACIN

MENNGEA. Es el remedio cuando durante el sueo hay gritos agudos, penetrantes, que
hacen suponer irritacin cerebral acompaada de dolores agudos, pinchazos, y los casos
similares que comienzan con agitacin nerviosa semejante a la que produce el veneno de
la abeja (Farrington).
Ya hemos visto al relacin que tiene APIS con BELL. y HELLEB.; BRYON. tiene algunas
semejanzas, como las "efusiones" o derrames cerebrales que siguen a la supresin de un
exantema, pero aqu el sensorio est entumecido, la boca presenta un movimiento de
masticacin perpetuo, la cara es rojo oscura, los labios estn como cocidos, hay sed y
bebe con avidez, impaciencia, y en cantidad, si se lo mueve, profiere un grito de dolor
(agravacin por el movimiento). A este estado sigue bien HELLEB. cuando el paciente
queda sumido en un estado de sopor; si por el contrario, grita de dolor, sigue bien APIS.
(Farrington).
Tambin CUPR. es indicado para la irritacin menngea siguiente a supresin de exantema;

el paciente adems de gritar, acusa violentas convulsiones; los pulgares estn plegados
hacia las palmas de las manos; cara plida, labios azulados; gira los ojos constantemente.
Las convulsiones de APIS no son tan violentas como de CUPR., sino ms bien son
movimientos convulsivos, estremecimientos, espasmos musculares de una mitad del
cuerpo. SULFUR es indicado para la meningitis proveniente de la supresin de una
erupcin. Acta bien antes o despus de APIS. GLONOIN. tiene grito enceflico como
APIS, y vmitos espasmdicos de origen cerebral, muy marcados, junto con intensa
congestin de cabeza con latidos que domina todo el cuadro. En la irritacin cerebral de
ZINCUM, el nio se despierta con sobresalto y sensacin de miedo; durante el sueo, sus
pies se mueven continuamente, grita y se estremece. RHUS TOX tiene sntomas
ceflicos muy similares a APIS, y ARS. ALB. es indicado en la hidrocefalia por el calor
de la piel; cara plida y caliente; el nio est sumido en un estupor, a veces con espasmos
de cuerpo y boca; otras veces est como muerto, los ojos semicerrados, sin reflejos
oculares.
Ojos
Muy sensibles a la luz; conjuntiva roja, inflamada, o hinchada con quemosis; prpados
hinchados, rojos, edematizados, inflamados, con quemosis. Sensacin de quemadura y
escozor; lagrimeo caliente.
Orzuelos con dolores ardientes y pinchazos, como producidos por un dardo; hinchazn del
prpado. (Clarke).
Hinchazn edema tosa del prpado inferior que cuelga como una bolsa(kali carb. tiene igual
sntoma pero en el superior); APIS se ha mostrado til en el edema de ambos prpados,
siempre que las caractersticas predominantes indiquen el remedio; KALI CARB., ARS.
ALB., KALI ARS., Y PHOSPH.
Queratitis con inflamacin de conjuntivas; Estafiloma de crnea subsecuente a inflamacin

supurada. Orzuelos: APIS evita su repeticin (Boericke).
Odos
Inflamacin del odo medio en combinacin con escarlatina (Kent). Odo externo rojo,
inflamado, doloroso, dolores ardientes (Boericke). A esto puede agregarse prurito, y
APIS ha dado resultados en sabaones en las orejas. Ruidos y zumbidos de odos.
Cara
CONGESTIONADA, roja, hinchada, dolorosa; toda la cara est inflamada; (odos, ojos,
labios, principalmente el superior, piel tensa).Aspecto de hinchazn roja general. (L.
Vannier).
O bien plida, cerosa; piel flcida y blanda, y el edema ser ms perceptible alrededor de los
ojos, particularmente el prpado inferior, que cuelga como una bolsa llena de agua.
Aparato digestivo
1) BOCA: Mucosa bucal y larngea brillante, como barnizada; roja y edematizada como
en la erisipela. Encas hinchadas igual que los labios, ms el superior. Lengua dolorosa,
hinchada, con vesculas; caliente y temblorosa. La boca, lengua y garganta tienen la
sensacin de estar en carne viva como si hubiesen sido quemadas con agua hirviendo.
APIS se asemeja a : IRIS VERS. que tiene este sntoma juntamente con sensacin
dolorosa de quemadura en epigastrio y abdomen. BELL. tiene hinchazn inflamatoria
bucal con enrojecimiento y sequedad, como si hubiese sido quemada; MAGN. MUR.,
tiene sensacin de quemadura en boca y lengua, con sequedad, sin sed. MERC. CORR.
tiene la boca inflamada, seca, ardiente, con aliento ftido y lengua caracterstica.
2) FARINGE: Dolores ardientes, pinchazos, amgdalas y garganta rojo brillante,

hinchadas; ulceraciones en las amgdalas; la mucosa parece cuero plisado o una tajada de
carne vacuna cruda; la campanilla cuelga como una bolsa llena de agua (KALI BICHR.,
RHUS TOX). Sensacin de espina de pescado clavada en la garganta (HEP. SULF.
CALC.). Agravacin por bebidas calientes y tragar slidos.
En los casos de difteria violenta y rpida, en la que toda la garganta se llena de una
hinchazn edema tosa; la campanilla cuelga como una bolsita transparente llena de agua,
y el enfermo est amenazado de muerte por sofocacin causada por oclusin de laringe,
ningn remedio sobrepasa a APIS. En este caso, a veces no hay dolor. BAPT. tiene
hinchazn de garganta sin dolor, pero el proceso carece de la gravedad y del desarrollo
rpido del caso de APIS (Nash).
3) ESTOMAGO : AUSENCIA DE SED (PULS.), caracterstica : no obstante hay deseo

de leche fra (ARS. ALB., CHELID. MAJ., PHOSPH. AC., Y RHUS TOX). Sensacin
estomacal dolorosa y sensibilidad exagerada, que agrava por la ms leve presin,
relacionando a APIS con LACH., NUX VOM., BELL., y MERC. Nuseas, vmitos,
ansiedad. Vmitos de bilis, alimentarios y de lquido amargo y cido.
4) ABDOMEN: DOLOR CARACTERSTICO con SENSACIN DE

CONSTRICCIN. Abdomen distendido por gas meteorizado; la piel parece la de un
tambor. No se atreve a toser y evita estornudar, por temor a que su vientre explote.
Sensacin que algo se desgarra en su vientre cada vez que va a mover el vientre.
DOLOR Y SENSACIN COMO SI LOS INTESTINOS ESTUVIESEN
MAGULLADOS. Edema de la pared abdominal; ascitis; hidropesa; anasarca,
hipersensibilidad heptica; inflamacin de hgado y bazo.
5) ANO Y DEPOSICIONES: DEPOSICIONES A CADA MOMENTO,

INVOLUNTARIAS; SENSACIN COMO SI EL ANO ESTUVIESE ABIERTO;
deposicin sanguinolenta pero indolora. PHOSPH. tiene deposiciones involuntarias, pero
son ms frecuentes y agotadoras;luego el paciente tiene sed de agua fra, que devuelve a
poco de haberla bebido; el paciente est aplastado y su color es a menudo amarillo;
RHUS TOX. tiene tambin deposiciones involuntarias, pero solamente nocturnas;
dolorosas, sed inextinguible; lengua seca, color marrn, y con el tringulo caracterstico
en la punta (L. Vannier). ALOE tiene evacuaciones involuntarias con sensacin de
inseguridad del recto;a veces la evacuacin sale sin que el paciente se de cuenta.
ARNICA tiene deposiciones involuntarias de noche, durante el sueo. GELS. las tiene a
raz de una emocin. EL PACIENTE DE APIS NO PUEDE ORINAR SIN EVACUAR A
LA VEZ.
DIARREA ACUOSA AMARILLENTA. APIS acta bien en la diarrea de los nios que
contiene mucus, restos alimentarios y sangre, con aspecto de salsa de tomate (Kent).
Otras veces el paciente est constipado, pues no puede hacer esfuerzos por tener la sensacin
de que algo se rompe en su vientre.
EN LA CONSTIPACIN APIS TIENE RELACIN COMNMENTE CON LOS

TRASTORNOS CEREBRALES. Los intestinos parecen paralizados, con congestin
cerebral al mismo tiempo (Kent).
El ano arde como en carne viva. Despus del parto, dolores hemorroidarios ardientes.
Aparato urinario
Hay muchos trastornos urinarios en APIS. ORINA ESCASA QUE VIENE SOLO GOTA A
GOTA; hace muchos esfuerzos al comenzar la miccin, y slo orina algunas gotas de
orina caliente, ardiente, sanguinolenta. No bien hay algo de orina en la vejiga siente
deseo imperioso, pero sin efectos. Luego la orina casi siempre se suprime. Los bebs
estn largo tiempo sin orinar lanzando gritos penetrantes, se llevan las manos a la cabeza,
gimen durante el sueo y se destapan con los pies. Una dosis de APIS ser til (Kent).
TRASTORNOS URINARIOS CON HINCHAZN EDEMA TOSA DE RGANOS

GENITO-URINARIOS. Dolores inflamatorios de riones, urteres, vejiga y uretra. Todo
el tracto urinario inflamado como en CANTHARIS; estos dos remedios son antdotos. El
frenes violento de CANTHARIS ser curado por APIS. El malestar causado por uno de
estos remedios puede ser superado empleando el otro.
Irritacin mrbida de rganos urinarios, estranguria, dolor angustioso al orinar. Retencin de

orina en lactantes (Kent).
ORINA ESCASA Y FTIDA, QUE CONTIENE ALBMINA Y GLBULOS

SANGUNEOS, ESPECIALMENTE EN LA ALBUMINURIA AGUDA.
INFLAMACIN AGUDA DE RIN CON ALBUMINURIA, que puede presentarse
en la escarlatina, fiebre tifoidea, o cualquier otra enfermedad infecciosa aguda. (Kent).
rganos genitales
APIS acta en los rganos genitales de ambos sexos. Determina hinchazn y estado edema
toso caractersticos. Pero es en la mujer donde mejor acta. EDEMA DE LABIOS CON
DOLORES AGUDOS, ARDIENTES, MEJORADOS POR EL AGUA FRA.
REGLAS SUPRIMIDAS CON SNTOMAS DEL COSTADO DE LA CABEZA,

especialmente en las jvenes.
DISMENORREA CON FUERTES DOLORES DE OVARIOS, MS EL DERECHO.
METRORRAGIA profusa con dolor abdominal, desfallecimiento y dolores ardientes.
METRITIS CON DOLORES ARDIENTES; OVARITIS; TUMORES OVRICOS; APIS

AFECTA AL OVARIO DERECHO DEL MISMO MODO QUE LACH. al IZQUIERDO.
APIS es indicado en la ovaritis con dolores extremos, localizados a la derecha; por tacto se
descubre que el ovario derecho est TUMEFACTO, ya sea por palpacin abdominal, o
combinado con tacto vaginal. En QUISTES DE OVARIO APIS hace retroceder la
enfermedad. El signo es una hinchazn ovrica que se extiende al muslo y sensacin de
opresin al pecho con tos causada por reflujo uterino. (Farrington). (Para el estudio
comparativo de APIS con los dems remedios ovricos, ver LACH.).
1) LARINGE: APIS puede provocar aqu irritacin de la mucosa similar a la producida
en las dems mucosas por este medicamento. Es til en los sntomas larngeos - edema
de glotis o de laringe - catarros larngeos, etc. BELL. suele confundirse con APIS en
catarros larngeos; recordemos que APIS tiene mayor hinchazn edema tosa con disnea,
mientras BELL. tiene ms constriccin espasmdica. (Farrington)
2) BRONQUIOS Y PULMONES: DISNEA, RESPIRACIN DIFCIL. La dificultad

para respirar es sntoma particular; EL ENFERMO TIENE LA SENSACIN DE QUE
NO PODR SEGUIR RESPIRANDO; APIS da resultados en hidrotrax, edema
pulmonar y asma.
Tos seca, corta, supra-esternal, causada por cosquilleo de garganta o en la trquea, peor
despus de medianoche; sacude todo el cuerpo, repercute en la cabeza y no deja dormir;
si hay descarga de mucosidad la tos calma entonces. (Charge).
La tos de APIS se asemeja ms o menos a la de LACH., CARBO VEG., RUMEX, BELL.,

CHAMOM., CROTAL., NUX VOM., BRYON., IGNAT., ARS. HYOSC. (Farrington).
Los dolores lancinantes como con pinchazos; palpitaciones, la ortopnea, han demostrado la
utilidad de APIS en las inflamaciones de pericardio, endocardio, hidropesas de origen
cardaco, etc., los sntomas esenciales parecen ser : edema, hinchazn repentina de piel y
mucosas; disnea, dolores agudos, punzantes, agitacin y ansiedad (Farrington). ARS. SE
ASEMEJA TANTO A APIS en cuanto a la agitacin y la disnea que a menudo se los
confunde. La mejor distincin es la agitacin intranquila de APIS, frente a la pasiva de
ARS.
Tambin hay que distinguirlos en la falta de sed que les es comn, y en el edema, que en
ARS. es blanco generalmente y en APIS es ms comn el rojo, con estados edema toso y
erisipeloso, y pruriginoso de la piel. APOC., ASPAR., y DIGIT. se asemejan en algunos
puntos a APIS.
SENSACIN DE ESTAR CANSADO, DESHECHO. EDEMAS : PIES HINCHADOS Y

RGIDOS; ACET. AC. tiene edema de extremidades inferiores y abdomen con gran sed,
trastornos gstricos y enflaquecimiento. APOC. tiene edema principalmente del lado que
se acuesta; gran disminucin de orina, sed intensa y opresin. ARS. ALB. tiene edema de
extremidades inferiores, anasarca, orina escasa ardiente, albuminosa; piel plida y fra en
todo el cuerpo; gran debilidad y agitacin pasiva. CACTUS tiene edema de extremidades
superiores y manos, en especial la izquierda; piel brillante, todo relacionado con angustia
precordial.
RODILLAS HINCHADAS, SENSIBLES, BRILLOSAS, DOLOROSAS, DOLORES

PUNZANTES, ARDIENTES, ESCOZOR.
DOLORES REUMTICOS en miembros y espalda. Puede haber DEBILIDAD
PARALTICA en las extremidades. Este sntoma es comnmente resultado de venenos
de origen animal. En las parlisis que sobrevienen despus de una fiebre debilitante -
difteria, fiebre tifoidea - APIS ha resultado til. En casos semejantes la preexistencia de
un exantema o su supresin confirma la indicacin de APIS; la reaparicin de los
sntomas cutneos indica que debe interrumpirse la prescripcin hasta tanto desaparezcan
dichos sntomas; en estos casos, SULFUR es un gran coadyuvante (Farrington).
DIFICULTAD PARA COORDINAR MOVIMIENTOS. Torpe, se le caen los objetos de las

manos. (BOVISTA, AETH., IGNAT., NATR. MUR., LACH., NUX VOM., HELLEB.,
TARENT. HISP. Vase tambin NATR. MUR.).
Piel
En todo el cuerpo, ERUPCIN RUGOSA, ESPESA, A VECES ROSADA la rugosidad es

palpable al tacto. (Vase el rubro Accin GEN.).
ERISIPELA con hinchazn y sensibilidad dolorosa color rosado; URTICARIA

FORNCULOS; con dolores punzantes, ardientes, escozor. (ARS., ANTRAC.).
Hinchazn edema tosa repentina en todo el cuerpo. ESCARLATINA CON ANGINA Y

ERUPCIN RUGOSA. (Ver ACCIN GENERAL).
Fiebre
ESCALOFROS POR LA TARDE CON SED; puede afirmarse que durante el estado febril,
el paciente slo siente sed con los primeros escalofros. Detesta el movimiento y el calor,
desea puertas y ventanas abiertas, y a mayor calor mayor agitacin. Calor externo con
sensacin de sofocacin. Ligeros sudores con deseos de dormir; la transpiracin seca y
vuelve a aparecer. El paciente que est CALIENTE Y SECO, y de repente TRANSPIRA,
hace pensar en APIS, nico remedio que tiene esta alternancia tan marcada. Duerme una
vez pasado el paroxismo febril (Boericke).
Relaciones
Antdotos
PLANTARIS Y LACH.; LED. PAL. ha sido propuesto por Teste como antdoto. (Segn
experiencias de Mme. Physalix, los venenos de la abeja y de la avispa son antdotos
recprocos.

APIS MELLIFICA (Kent)
Este medicamento tiene muchos sntomas sobre la superficie del cuerpo estudiaremos
primero el aspecto externo. Alrededor de todo el cuerpo aparecen sarpullidos espesos, a
veces de color rosado. Puede sentirse como un sarpullido pero debajo de los dedos de
las manos. En este estado el paciente est muy dolorido por el calor y la piel es sensible
al tacto con el sarpullido o sin l. Se observan hinchazones nodulares aqu y all que
aparecen y desaparecen. Sigue una afeccin erisipelatosa inflamatorios en partes, aqu y
all, y gran tumefaccin alrededor de la cara. ojos y prpados. Pueden producirse
erisipelas en cualquier parte, pero ms comnmente en la cara y aumenta su grado con
una accin inflamatoria, ardor y edema. En las extremidades tenemos una marcada
hidropesa, hinchazn con hoyos luego de presionar el lugar. Puede acompaarse de
anasarca general. La cara se hincha por momentos, los prpados semejan bolsas de
agua, la vula cuelga hacia abajo como una bolsita las paredes abdominales son de gran
espesor y se forman hoyos al presionarlos, y las mucosas parecen en cualquier parte
como si descargaran agua al ser pinchadas. Tumefaccin, o edema, con hoyos luego de
presionar, es una afeccin general que se encuentra en cualquier estado inflamatorio.
Existe una mejora general con el fro y agravacin con el calor.
Los sntomas en la piel del paciente se agravan con el calor. Listo prevalece tambin en los
estados mentales, dolencias inflamatorias en las cardiopatas, en hidropesas en dolores
de la garganta, etc. A veces esta agravacin aumenta por ingerir bebidas calientes,
habitaciones clidas, ropas abrigadas, calor directo del fuego, etc. En trastornos de
cerebro si se coloca a un paciente de Apis con congestin de cerebro dentro de un bao
caliente tendr convulsiones, en consecuencia los baos calientes no son "buenos para
adaptarse". Se ensea en textos antiguos que las mujeres ancianas y las nieras saben
que un bao caliente es bueno como adaptacin, pero antes que lo logren o no, se
tendr un nio muerto. Esta congestin del cerebro, con pequeas convulsiones, los
hace colocar al nio en agua caliente, y aparece una escena espantosa cuando se la ve.
Si el nio necesita Opium o Apis en la congestin del cerebro la adecuacin se torna
peor con agua caliente. Si la niera ha estado realizando lo explicado usted posee los
conocimientos para suministrarle el remedio tan pronto como entre a la casa, ya que
ella dir que el nio ha empeorado luego del bao caliente, se puso plido como un
fantasma y la niera teme que el nio muera. As como se tienen convulsiones peores
por el calor se requiere especialmente a Opium y Apis. Este es siempre el camino de
Apis. No est escrito en los libros que con Apis se empeoran los sntomas de la
garganta luego de haber tomado algo caliente y se desea algo fro, pero uno de mis
graduados me escribi, haciendo uso simplemente de los lineamientos generales, como
haba sido instrudo. Apis, conforme a todo el resto del caso, realiz una hermosa cura
de un caso de difteria la cual se alivi con fro, lo cual nos muestra como los
lineamientos generales pueden ser aplicados a casos particulares y de como se puede
hacer uso de ellos. Los lineamientos generales contribuyen a perfeccionar nuestra
Materia Mdica.
Sobre la superficie exterior vemos que con Apis se llena de hidropesa, erupciones rojas,
erupciones, urticaria, erisipela, cuyas inflamaciones se extienden a todas las mucosas.
La parte exterior del hombre es la piel y mucosas. Cuando estamos tratando al hombre
desde el centro a la superficie, pensamos en las profundidades como el cerebro y el
corazn y los rganos internos que son vitales, mientras que sus revestimientos y
coberturas son externas. Apis afecta las cosas externas; afecta las envolturas o
coberturas de la piel y los tejidos cercanos, pero tambin afecta las envolturas de los
rganos; por ejemplo, el pericardio. Apis produce inflamacin del cerebro. En las capas
serosas que encierran el corazn (pericardio) y tambin en el peritoneo. En todos estos
procesos inflamatorios aparecen punzaciones y ardor intenso de a ratos, y punzadas
como agujas, de fuego.
Los sntomas mentales de Apis son muy importantes y lo ms notable es la agravacin

producida por el calor y por una habitacin calurosa. Los sntomas son gran tristeza,
llanto constante sin causa alguna; no puede dormir por pensamientos torturantes y se
atormenta por cada cosa. Depresin de espritu con llanto continuo. Tristeza y
melancola; irritabilidad extrema; se aflige por todas las cosas. Sospecha tontamente, y
celosa. Absolutamente infeliz, indiferente a todo lo que pudiera hacerla sentir mejor o
peor. Tonta, cnica, comportamiento infantil en la mujer parturienta, en ancianas, habla
tonteras, tal como hablara un nio, en ocasiones serias. Otro aspecto del estado mental
es el delirio, el cual se produce con serias afecciones del cerebro en los nios. El nio
va entrando en un estado de inconsciencia. Permanece con una especie de estupor, un
lado del cuerpo se contrae nerviosamente, el otro lado est inmvil, girando la cabeza
de un lado a otro; o se extiende hacia atrs rgidamente; las pupilas contradas o
dilatadas, los ojos muy colorados, la cara sonrojada, estado de estupidez o semi-
inconsciencia. El nio yace con los ojos semicerrados. Es conveniente en congestin
cerebral y meningitis cerebro-espinal con opistotonos, cuando los sntomas se agravan
con el calor. El nio se encuentra en un estado espantoso si la habitacin es muy
calurosa. Si el nio se pone en este estado quita las frazadas de un puntapi. He visto
nios bajo los efectos de Apis que debieron ser alejados de la cercana del fuego.
Gritarn cuando son sacados del calor que desprende el regulador o el fuego abierto. El
calor acrecienta cualquier sntoma, y a veces les produce una transpiracin fra en todo
el cuerpo, la cual no trae mejora. A menudo la cabeza gira y se agita, los dientes
rechinan, y los ojos relampaguean convulsos, los nios se llevan las manos a la cabeza,
y en un estado de semi-inconsciencia, grita con el grito peculiar que es conocido como
grito menngeo caracterstico de Apis, que interrumpe el sueo cuando aparecen
trastornos en el cerebro. Dice en el texto: "Sopor interrumpido por estos gritos agudos".
Debemos ser capaces de reconocer la enfermedad al comienzo de sus sntomas, porque
no siempre podemos acertar con el remedio cuando est en un estado avanzado.
Apis tambin tiene refunfuo, delirio y locuacidad. Toda clase de gritos agudos,
penetrantes, y violentos. Premonicin y temeroso de la muerte, temor a la apopleja.
"Muy ocupado, impaciente, cambiando con frecuencia de trabajos. Tiene torpeza en los
dedos de las manos, y de los pies. Todo el sistema nervioso muestra una perturbacin
en la coordinacin. Estas incoordinaciones se mantienen con el remedio, torpeza,
aturdimiento con los ojos cerrados. Vrtigo cuando los ojos estn cerrados. "Dolor por
susto, enojo, vejacin, celos o por malas noticias". "Luego de graves shocks mentales
se paraliza el lado derecho".
Los dolores de Apis surgen con violencia y rapidez, y tanto, hasta alcanzar un estado de
inconsciencia. Se han observado muchos casos muy violentos de envenenamiento
producidos por la picadura de las abejas. Cuando el hombre sensible es envenenado por
la picadura, se muestra terriblemente enfermo. Al ser picado por una sola abeja aparece
una pequea hinchazn en la regin de la picadura, como el huevo de un petirrojo o de
una gallina en el peor de los casos, cuando el individuo no es sensible a Apis. Pero si
encuentra a alguien que es sensible a la picadura de la abeja, y posee una pequea
picadura en cualquier parte del cuerpo, tiene nuseas y ansiedad que lo hace sentir
como si estuviera muriendo, y en unos diez minutos est cubierto con urticaria de pie a
cabeza, tiene escozor y ardor y desea ser baado en agua fra, gira y se sacude como si
fuera a romperse en pedacitos. He visto aparecer todos estos sntomas despus de Apis.
El antdoto para el Carbolic acid. He visto suministrar Carbolic acid durante este
estado, y el paciente describe la sensacin como una refrescante sensacin que
desciende por su garganta. El dice "Por qu, doctor, puedo sentir esa dosis llegar hasta
las terminaciones de los dedos de las manos", alivindome: Cuando suministre un
antdoto bajo tales circunstancias escuche lo que dice su paciente. Cuando emplea el
verdadero antdoto natural, y, a veces, cuando logra la verdadera medicina curativa en
un caso, no importa cun alta sea su potencia, el paciente dir: "La siento desde las
races de mi cabello y desde las terminaciones de los dedos de los pies". Esto es lo que
se siente cuando la verdadera medicina antidotal penetra en las profundidades de la
economa, y esa es la manera como queremos que funcionen las medicinas siempre, ser
guiados por los sntomas de nuestro paciente, el cual nos dir que medicamento
debemos suministrar, y cuando el remedio es suministrado, su alta reaccin es de esta
clase.
Si estamos bien familiarizados con los sntomas de Apis podemos obtener mucho sin que un
especialista trate los ojos. Tornan ciegas a las personas con sus lociones, soluciones
custicas, etc., de lo que ellos se benefician. La moda antigua era cauterizar con cobre y
solucin de nitrato de plata y los mtodos modernos no son mucho mejores. En estos
tiempos el mdico homepata que no es capaz de detectar los sntomas de los ojos tanto
como los de los pulmones o de cualquier parte del cuerpo no es competente para
practicar medicina. Los casos de los ojos pueden ser prescriptos por el oculista. En
homeopata no existe tal cosa, como ser, tratar al paciente de los ojos u otros rganos
del cuerpo, sino que se considera al paciente con todos sus rganos. No se trata al
paciente tomando en cuenta uno o dos de sus rganos.
Apis es un gran medicamento para los ojos. Tiene sntomas inflamatorios de los ojos como
consecuencia de la enfermedad. Inflamaciones de carcter erisipelatoso y de la mucosa
de los prpados, y manchas blancas; crnea opaca, vasos sanguneos dilatados. La
hinchazn de las mucosas palpebrales es tan enorme que sobresalen, como pedazos de
carne viva, y dejan fluir, por las mejillas una secrecin abundante. Ardor y picazn
como fuego, mejor luego de lavarse, y con aplicaciones fras, peor por el calor.
Trastornos crnicos de los ojos luego de mirar un fuego, empeoran al recibir calor
radiado; desea que se le aplique compresas fras, granulacin palpebral crnica.
Reflejos dolorosos cuando se miran objetos blancos, empeoran al mirar nieve. Apis es
adecuado a veces para antiguas afecciones escrofulosas de los ojos. Afecciones
vasculares, las venas se dilatan. "Iritis". "Congestin de los ojos, venas inyectadas de
sangre", toda la conjuntiva inflamada. Fotofobia. Oftalmia reumtica, esto es,
inflamacin intensa de los ojos en individuos reumticos. Inflamacin catarral y
escrofulosa de los ojos. Lgrimas calientes. Erisipelas de los ojos y de las mejillas,
extendindose de derecha a izquierda. Esta direccin es caracterstica de Apis y aparece
en otros muchos aspectos. Lo mismo la inflamacin de las vsceras abdominales que
siguen esa direccin, y as el ovario derecho es preferido al izquierdo, etc.
Ahora trataremos los problemas de garganta por Apis. Apis cura difteria, especialmente
cuando hay un alto grado de inflamacin y la membrana es escasa o aparece lenta e
insidiosamente, y es sorpresivo el progreso gradual que realiza; las partes estn
edematizadas y el paladar blando se hincha como una bolsita de agua, y la vula cuelga
hacia abajo con una apariencia semitransparente como una bolsa.
Alrededor de la garganta y de la boca aparece un estado edematoso como si fuera a manar

agua si se las pinchara. Ardor, dolores punzantes en la garganta que se alivian con el
fro y se agravan con el calor. Aversin a todas las sustancias calientes y bebidas. La
lengua se hincha hasta que llena la boca, peor en la mitad derecha. Apariencia
descarnada, desnuda de la lengua y de la cavidad bucal y garganta. Varias clases de
hinchazones en la garganta; benignas, con ardor, y enrojecimiento. lceras que
provienen de esta inflamacin. Apis es adecuado para las formas ms graves de dolor
de garganta acompaada de escarlatina. Cura escarlatina cuando los sntomas
concuerdan, y no es nada raro que Apis sea adecuado para escarlatina, aunque las
erupciones, molestas, no son siempre suaves y brillosas. An cuando la erupcin no
brota, la cara est muy plida, con un alto grado de inflamacin de la garganta. En
aquellos pacientes que empeoran con el calor, desean sacarse las cobijas, y son
sensibles a la temperatura de la habitacin. El paciente que desea fresco en la
habitacin, empeora con el calor y desea cosas muy fras. Se sofoca cuando siente aire
caliente irradiado sobre su cuerpo, e incluso cuando tiene un escalofro en la fiebre
intermitente. As sucede con la escarlatina, el dolor de garganta, y la difteria. En
ocasiones el paciente con escarlatina tendr convulsiones debido a que no aparecen las
erupciones. Apis es a veces un remedio apropiado y debe ser comparado con Cuprum,
Zincum y Bryonia. Un bao caliente intensificar las convulsiones.
"Sensacin de constriccin y erosin en la garganta durante la maana". La garganta duele

y est hinchada; dolores punzantes. "No puede ingerir comida slida". Con estas
molestias aparecen a menudo escalofros, estremecimientos, pequeos resfros
mezclados a estados febriles. Muchas veces pensar que lo confortar cubrindolos con
una manta, pero lo har sentirse peor, la tirar . Un nio la patear lejos, y lo mismo el
adulto.
En Apis hoy aparecen vmitos, nuseas, arcadas y gran ansiedad. Vmito de bilis y de todo
alimento ingerido y de fluidos amargos y cidos.
Apis causa dolor y tensin a travs del abdomen e hipocondrio. El abdomen se distiende
con gas. En todos los trastornos inflamatorios, en peritonitis, hepatitis, hay una gran
tensin, a veces local; en otras ocasiones con pequea congestin, pero siempre se
produce a travs del abdomen, y el paciente no puede toser por temor a que algo
suceda, como si algo se quebrara. No puede hacer esfuerzos para defecar. Esto es
comn en las molestias abdominales y plvicas de las mujeres. La mujer dir que no
puede realizar esfuerzos para defecar, por temor a lastimarse. El mismo estado aparece
en el pecho. Parecera que algo se aflojara al toser, como si las fibras estuvieran en un
estado de tensin.
Existe un estado hipersensible del hgado; inflamacin del hgado y bazo. "Dolores por
debajo de las costillas propagndose hacia arriba. Obligado a encorvarse hacia adelante
debido a un dolor que siente en el hipocondrio." Todos los dolores hacen que el
paciente se encorve y flexione los miembros. Sensibilidad gstrica al tacto. La paciente
est muy dolorida y el tacto es extremadamente penoso para ella, en todas las molestias
inflamatorias de las mujeres el abdomen es muy sensible y doloroso. Distensin y
dolores punzantes, ardientes a travs del abdomen.
Hidropesa, algunas veces sola, otras con anasarca. Los miembros estn hinchados en toda
su extensin, producindose hoyos cuando se los presiona, con ardor y entumecimiento.
Sintiendo como si los intestinos estuvieran estrujados. La diarrea acuosa es comn con
Apis; materia fecal amarilla, verde oliva, acuosa, etc. Todos los das de seis a ocho
defecaciones con diarrea, la cual huele a carroa. Es especialmente til en peculiares
tipos de evacuacin que se producen en nios e infantes, mezcladas con sangre,
mucosidad y comida, teniendo la materia fecal una apariencia como salsa de tomate. El
ano sobresale con materia fecal y permanece abierto como en Phosph. y Puls. Diarrea
crnica, disentera, con hemorragia intestinal. El estreimiento est ms relacionado a
problemas ceflicos. Pasan varios das sin que evace. Los intestinos parecen estar
perfectamente paralizados, con congestin de cerebro e hidrocefalia aguda.
Los trastornos urinarios son numerosos en Apis. La orina es escasa. Mucho esfuerzo antes
de que comience a salir, y cuando lo hace, son solamente unas pocas gotas; de orina
caliente, con sangre. Tan pronto como se almacena en la vejiga aparece el estmulo para
emitirla, pero queda sin efecto. Ms tarde hay anuria. Los infantes pasan largo tiempo
sin orinar, chillando y llevando la mano a la cabeza, gritando en sueos, quitndose las
mantas. Muy a menudo una dosis de Apis ser til. Es usado con frecuencia en
escarlatina cuando existe albuminuria. Trastornos urinarios, con edema de los genitales.
Escasa orina en nios pequeos, con el prepucio enormemente distendido, o en
hidrocele. Cada vez que desee orinar, chillar , pues recordar el dolor de la ltima vez .
Molestias inflamatorias de los riones, urteres, vejiga y uretra. Todas las vas urinarias
estn irritadas, muy parecido a Cantharis, y estas dos medicinas son antdotos una de la
otra. Si es llamado por un nio que ha sido drogado con Apis no refinada, generalmente
puede antidotarlo con Cantharis. Si encuentra a una mujer que ha tomado Cantharis con
propsitos de vicio, puede contrarrestar esto con Apis. Los dolores, ardor y punzadas a
lo largo de las vas urinarias se encuentran bajo los efectos de Apis. "Fluye orina
inconscientemente". Dolores punzantes en la uretra con enuresis. Irritabilidad mrbida
de los rganos urinarios. "Agona al vaciar la orina. Retencin de orina en infantes
pequeos". Es curioso como las viejas antiguamente saban, mucho antes que Apis
fuera probado, que cuando el pequeo recin nacido no pasaba su agua ellas podan
curarlo yendo a una colmena y recogiendo unas pocas abejas, sobre las que tiraban
agua caliente, y de lo cual le daban al nio una cucharadita de t. Tales remedios
domsticos han sido conocidos por familias y nieras, y es correcto porque es para lo
que se suministra Apis. Orina escasa y ftida, conteniendo albmina y sangre", como en
las nefritis consecutivas a escarlatina o difteria, por lo cual mueren muchos nios en
manos alopticas, pero nunca de los curados con homeopata. Apis se relaciona con los
rganos genitales masculinos y femeninos. Apis es un gran amigo de la mujer, pues
cura sus dolores inflamatorios, cuando los sntomas concuerdan. Tambin neutraliza el
aborto, luego que la paciente ha ingerido drogas y le han trado dolores muy fuertes
como para expeler el feto, especialmente en el primero, segundo y tercer mes. Ha
aparecido una pequea hemorragia, una mera amenaza, las membranas no estn todava
rotas, pero pronto lo estarn, y la paciente sufre de dolores ardientes, yace descubierta y
sufre el calor, probablemente debido a una sobredosis de Ergot. Apis lo solucionar .
Dolores ardientes y punzantes en los ovarios, especialmente en el derecho; muy
agrandado y an qustico. Apis ha sido probado como un remedio curativo, a menudo
ha curado tumores, y ha ayudado a que deje de crecer las formaciones qusticas o a su
desaparicin. La regin del ovario derecho es muy sensible. Dolores en el tero y en los
ovarios antes y durante la menstruacin. Punzantes, desgarrantes, dolores cortantes
como cuchillos, peor con el calor. Este es un sntoma tomado fcilmente, porque en la
mayora de los sntomas de dolor por calor o la bolsa de agua caliente son considerados
para aliviar, pero con estos medicamentos se agravan. La paciente los arroja a un lado,
pues empeora con el calor. "Ovarios agrandados", etc. Hidropesa en el ovario derecho.
Tumor de ovario.
APIS MELLIFICA (Farrington)
Apis mellifica. Para este medicamento tenemos dos nombres, de acuerdo con la
manera de su preparacin. O es Apis melifica, abeja obrera que produce la miel, o es Apium
virus, el veneno de las abejas. La preparacin original del medicamento fu del siguiente
modo : se coloc sobre un platillo grande, una especie de capelo en el cual haba un orificio
por el que se introduca una varilla; se colocaron varios cientos de abejas en el interior del
capelo, despus se les agit con la varilla en todas direcciones y las abejas, irritadas, picaban
el capelo y el plato; poco despus se dejaron escapar las abejas y se notaron numerosas
gotitas; en seguida se verti una cantidad conocida de alcohol sobre stas y as se obtuvo el
poderoso extracto del veneno de la abeja. este es el Apium virus. Posteriormente toda la abeja
fu empleada; se hicieron trituraciones del insecto entero y as se obtuvo el Apis mellifica.
Los sntomas de las dos preparaciones no han sido aislados. Apis mellifica es un
medicamento relativamente nuevo, y una valiosa adquisicin para nuestra Materia Medica.
Con el fin de entender su sintomatologa, vamos a estudiar su toxicologa. Se puede, si se
desea como ilustracin, observar un piquete en una mano o un dedo. Justamente despus del
piquete, que produce un agudo pinchazo, se experimenta un ardor intenso y rpidamente
comienza a hincharse en medio de fuertes dolores. La regin se siente como si hubiera sido
golpeada o machacada. La hinchazn adquiere en un principio un tinte rosado; se extiende
rpidamente; los dolores son cada vez ms intensos, sie do de un carcter quemante,
aguijoneante, punzante y rara vez vibrante. El calor de la regin aumenta con el ardor y el
aguijoneo; esto puede terminar muy pronto por resolucin o continuar; si contina, se notara
que el color rosado se vuelve ms intenso y tiende a tomar un aspecto erisipelatoso. Ms
tarde an cambia de color y toma un tinte plido azuloso; la hinchazn al ser comprimida,
demuestra que las partes estn edematosas. Poco despus, si las condiciones del estado
general lo permiten, aparece la gangrena.
La experimentacin nos ensea que los sntomas drmicos o celulares, generalmente

estn presentes en cada caso en que Apis resulta el medicamento de eleccin; merecen por lo
tanto ser mencionados enfticamente. El dolor es tan importante como el frecuente ardor ya
descrito; el agijoneo vara desde la simple magulladura, hasta la ms delicada hiperestesia al
tacto. De la inflamacin del tejido celular, resulta una rpida efusin serosa, considerada
como un sntoma general. La inflamacin producida por Apis, no es, por lo tanto, de carcter
estnico; no es por consiguiente como la que produce Aconitum, es decir, una inflamacin
repentina y que invade rpidamente, terminando por la resolucin; no es como la que
produce Belladonna, inflamacin muy roja, acompaada de dolores pulsativos y que tambin
termina ya sea por resolucin o por supuracin. La inflamacin que produce Apis, es muy
ditinta, es francamente astenica, . de coloracin blanquecina y con tendencia a la gangrena y
destruccin del tejido. En un caso en que la picadura haba sido en la mano, el paciente se
quejaba de una pstula maligna en la nuca.
Por la accin da Apis se reduce la vitalidad en forma alarmante, como lo demuestran

los siguientes caracteres del medicamento : gran postracin, deseo de acostarse, desmayos, y
un presentimiento de muerte prxima, pero sin temor, en lo que se diferencia de Aconitum y
Ars.; hay temblor nervioso, frialdad y prdida de conocimiento principalmente en las fiebres
eruptivas. El corazon se debilita, late muy despacio, hacindose casi imperceptible el pulso
radial.
Apis puede ser empleado en los trastornos mentales parecidos a la histeria. La

paciente es excitable y baila con excesivo gozo; le causa risa el ms grande infortunio como
si estuviera en una comedia; es inconstante en sus ocupaciones.
Si se juzga por los sntomas mencionados, se ver que efectivamente, Apis puede ser
utilizado en los trastornos mentales parecidos a la histeria. Las agitaciones, la inquietud, la
excitabilidad y la hilaridad, reunidas a la inconstancia en el trabajo, han hecho que sea Apis
un medicamento til para las nias nerviosas; se ha observado adems que son torpes y que
dejan caer los objetos, producindoles risa su torpeza; se excita la pasin sexual y son muy
propensas a los celos. La confusin mental y la falta de percepcin justamente anotadas,
indican al medicamento en las enfermedades adinmicas, tales como en la escarlatina
maligna, difteria, fiebre tifoidea, etc. Un completo estupor despus de la apopleja, indicaria
a Apis, cuando Opium ha fallado.
En la escarlatina la fiebre se eleva mucho, y inquietud coexistente es debida a la

agitacin nerviosa. La boca y la garganta estn muy rojas; la lengua presenta ampollas en sus
bordes y las fauces estn hinchadas; hay ardor aguijoneante, sensacincomo de brasas y de
escoriacin en la boca y la garganta. La piel se siente como aguijoneada por agujas y la
erupcin va mezclada a un rash miliar; hay siempre abotagamiento de alguna parte de la
superficie. La postracin es rpida; la orina escasa o suprimida; hay fiebre alta y
somnolencia.
En la fiebre tifoidea, el delirio es musitante. La debilidad es tan grande que la lengua

se saca con dificultad, y es tal la relajacin muscular que el enfermo se desliza hacia los pies
de la cama.
La lengua est avejigada, seca, partida y aun ulcerada. Sntoma muy importante es el
adolorimiento de abdomen al tacto.
En la meningitis y la irritacin menngea, Apis ocupa un lugar predominante como

agente curativo. Es frecuentemente el remedio cualquiera que sea la enfermedad, cuando los
gritos agudos durante el sueo hacen suponer una irritacin cerebral. Tales casos,
frecuentemente comienzan los caractersticos sntomas nerviosos del veneno de las abejas,
pudiendo llegar a los estados ms serios. En la meningtis tuberculosa o en los derrames
cerebrales agudos, una erupcin suprimida o mal desarrollada, es un buen sntoma para la
indicacin de Apis.
Podemos, en estos casos, comparar provechosamente a Apis, con Belladonna,

Helleborus, Arsenicum, Bryonia, Zincum, Sulphur, Cuprum, Glonoinum, Lachesis, Rhus
tox., Hyosciamus, Natrum mur. Bovista, etc.
Belladonna es frecuentemente empleado cuando Apis sera mejor aplicado; aun

cuando un poquito de cuidado permitira al mdico distinguir la agitacin nerviosa de Apis, de
la ms intensa irritacin cerebral de Belladonna. Las cngestiones de Belladonna son ms
violentas y van acompaadas de latidos de las cartidas, los ojos rojos, inyectados y un sopor
interrumpido por sobresaltos y gritos de terror. La adinamia es mucho menos marcada que en
Apis. Si la enfermedad es la escarlatina, la erupcin es lisa y de un rojo encendido, pero no
miliar; la piel est caliente y la cara roja o en algunos casos plida; pero no plida y
edematosa como en Apis; los ganglios cervicales pueden inflamarse, pero no hay infiltracin
celular con un rojo erisipelatoso, como en el veneno de la abeja.
Si hay irritacin menngea, Belladonna se hace necesario por los sntomas

congestivos intensos; Apis, cuando la agitacin nerviosa predomine, con agudos gritos que
demuestran los penetrantes dolores o la agitacin. En la meningitis, Belladonna va teniendo
una indicacin limitada a medida que los sntomas del derrame aumentan; en tanto que Apis
tiene una indicacin ms precisa, mientras que los sntomas de irritacin predominan y el
grito ceflico es notable.
Helleborus reclama la preeminencia, cuando la irritacin de Apis deja lugar al

entorpecimiento mental, con falta de reaccin; la frente est arrugada, las pupilas dilatadas y
la mandibula inferior tiende a caer; el sopor es absoluto; hay movimientos automaticos en un
brazo y una pierna; la frente se baa de sudor fro. En tales casos Helleborus puede despertar
la reaccin, para que otro medicamento fcilmente cure.
En la fiebre tifoidea, difieren notablemente. An cuando Apis tiene gran debilidad,

apata y estupor, tiene lengua seca, avejigada y dolor abdominal agudo. Helleborus produce
completa apata sensorial; las ventanas de la nariz estn como ahumadas, el pulso es dbil,
lento y sin reaccionar al tacto o a la presin.
Bryonia sostiene alguna ligera semejanza con Apis, especialmente en los casos, en
que como sta, puede amplearse para las efusiones cerebrales. consecutivas a la supresin de
un exantema. Pero el sensorio est entorpecido, aun cuando los sentidos no estn tan
pervertidos como en Apis o Helleborus. Hay un costante masticar; la cara es rojo-obscura; los
labios resecos; cuando se le ofrece una bebida, la toma precipitadamente y con impaciencia;
si se hace mover al nio, ste grita acusando dolores. Despus, cuando la depresin sensorial
llega al estupor, Helleborus le sigue bien, aun cuando el constante masticar continue lo
mismo que la precipitacin al tomar la bebidas. Apis sigue si el estado de sopor sobreviene
con el grito ceflico ms agudo que en el caso de los otros medicamentos.
Cuprum se compara con Apis, cuando la meningitis resulta de una erupcin

suprimida, pero sus sntomas son claramente diferentes : Cuprum produce un grito fuerte
seguido de violentas convulsiones; los dedos pulgares son aprisionados y la cara est plida,
con los labios azules; los globos oculares estn constantemente girando. Si las convulsiones
sobrevienen en el caso de Apis, son menos violentas, consistiendo en agitacin y sobresaltos
de la mitad del cuerpo; en la otra mitad son menos notables y permanece tamblorosa.
Sulphur est ms estrechamente relacionado en la supresin de las erupciones; los dos

se siguen bien el uno al otro.
Glonoinum, como Apis, tiene el grito eflico; sensacin de como si la cabeza

estuviera enormemente ilatada. Los vmitos espasmdicos de origen cerebral, son ms
rominentes en Glonoinum, lo mismo que la congestin ms intensa y los atimientos
arteriales.
Zincum produce irritacin cerebral; l nio despierta aterrorizado, mueve la cabeza,

grita y se estremece n el sueo; constante movimiento de los pies. Est tambin indicado n
los nios anmicos que estn demasiado enervados para el desarrollo e un exantema. En los
estados tifoideos la postracin es muy notable, con inminente parlisis cerebral; hay
inconsciencia, manos y pies azules, frialdad, pulso dbil, mandbula inferior cada. Aqu el
xido se ha empleado con xito.
Rhus tox., aunque incompatible con Apis, tiene muchos sntomas semejantes. En la
escarlatina, por ejemplo, los dos se acomodan en la adinamia, con la garganta hinchada,
inflamacin erisipelatosa de la piel del cuello, rash miliar, somnolencia y edemas. En Rhus,
sin embargo, la erupcin es ms obscura, la erisipela de un color rojo moreno y hay agitacin
corporaly no la inquietud nerviosa de Apis.
Arsenicum es semejante a Apis en muchos puntos; ambos tienen cambio de lugar

ansioso, temor a la muerte, inquietud, gran debilidad (Vase tambin ms adelante en
muchas otras circunstancis). Pero aunque la irritabilidad mental ocurre en ambos, en
Arsenicum es ms marcada la ansiedad y el temor; en Apis, la inquietud nerviosa.
Si bien se parecen en las afecciones cerebrales, como posiblemente suceder,

especialmente en la hidrocefalia, Arsenicum, ser el medicamento de eleccin cuando la piel
est caliente y la cara plida y caliente. El nio yace en estupor; repentinamente se desva la
boca y las sacudidas agitan todo el cuerpo; o yace como muerto, con los ojos entreabiertos,
hay moco adherido a la conjunctiva y no reacciona si se tocan los prpados.
Hyosciamus y Lachesis son semejantes en los celos.
Natrum mur., Bovista, Lachesis, tusa, Ignatia, Nux vom., producen torpeza; el
primero sobre todo se parece a Apis.
Ya he indicado que Apis puede ser til en las hidropesas. Los siguientes, son, en
resumen, los sntomas que lo indican: en las hidropesas generales lo encontramos indicado,
por el aspecto particular de la superficie del cuerpo, la piel es transparente y como de cera,
con un tinte blanquecino, o puede ser ligeramente amarillo. La orina es escasa y casi siempre
hay ausencia de sed. Los sntomas caractersticos son la transparencia de la piel y la falta de
sed. Ahora, etiolgicamente, Apis es ms frecuentemente usado en la hidropesa de origen
renal, sea o no la consecuencia de una escarlatina. La orina es escasa, con bastante albmina
y contiene cilindros renales. Hay hinchazn en los parpados; la superficie del cuerpo se
siente adolorida y magullada, en algunos casos el dolor es de carcter quemante. Si la
hidropesa es de origen cardiaco, los pies estan edematosos, especialmente despus de andar.
Todo esto va acompaado de una insoportable dolencia y ardor.
Aun cuando la hidropesa haya invadido el pecho y tengamos el hidrotrax, Apis

puede ser el medicamento, especialmente cuando el trastorno es de origen cardaco. El
paciente est imposibilitado para acostarse; tiene la misma sesacin constrictiva del pecho,
que encontramos en Lachesis. Hay tos seca, que parece tener origen en la trquea o laringe,
generalmente en la trquea, no cesando sino hasta la expectoracin de una pequea cantidad
de flemas. Hasta aqu, es exactamente como Lachesis. Pero Apis, tiene adems de estos
sntomas, un sntoma mental que proviene del pecho y que es, una constante sensacin de
como si no pudiera sobrevivir. Esto no es una sensacin de disnea, sino que parece ser una
especie de angustia mental. Al paciente le es imposible comprender cmo podr seguir
respirando, tan grande es la sensacin de sofocacion. Asociado a estos sntomas del pecho,
tiene una extraa sensacin de como si fuera a morir, pero no hay el gran temor y la fiebre
estnica de Aconitum, ni la gran inquietud de Arsenicum en el hidrotrax; no hay temor a la
muerte.
En la pleuresa con derrame, Apis es uno de los mejores medicamentos que tenemos
para la reabsorcin del exudado. Apis y Sulphur, curaran en su mayora estos casos.
Apis tambin obra sobre las membranas sinoviales, reproduciendo un perfecto cuadro
de la sinovitis, particularmente cuando ataca a la rodilla. Est indicado cuando hay agudos
dolores aguijoneantes a travs de la articulacin, con agravacin por el ms ligero
movimiento.
Bryonia afecta las articulaciones y sus membranas sinoviales, pero los dolores son de
carcter ms punzante, acompaados de tensin y mejoran por el moderado calor de la cama,
en tanto que los dolores de Apis, mejoran por las aplicaciones fras.
Iodium es til en los derrames de la articulacin de la rodilla y ha seguido bien a
Apis, especialmente en los nios escrofulosos. (Comprese con Kali jodatum).
Tenemos todava otra forma de hidropesia en la que Apis es un buen medicamento, es

la hidropesa del cerebro, o sea la hidrocefalia. No est tan frecuentemente indicado en la
hidrocefalia verdadera; es decir, cuando por efecto de alguna causa mecnica se ha declarado
la inflamacin de las membranas del cerebro, seguida de una acumulacin de serosidad.
Pero, repito que, en la meningitis tuberculosa es un remedio til. Aqu Apis est indicado en
la primera etapa; los sntomas que lo reclaman son los siguientes : el nio hunde la cabeza
hacia atrs en la almohada y la hace girar de un lado a otro; a cada momento despierta con un
penetrante y agudo grito; este grito peculiar es debido al dolor; un lado del cuerpo presenta
convulsiones mientras que el otro parece paralizado. Hay estrabismo; el pulso es rpido y
dbil y la orina escasa. No hay remedio que dad que mencionare y que es la lentitud en su
accin. En ocasiones se tendr que esperar hasta tres o cuatro das antes de que se noten los
efectos. La accin favorable del medicamento, se anuncia por el aumento en la cantidad de
orina.
En las hidropesas, Apis puede compararse ante todo con Arsenicum, que tiene la
misma transparencia de la piel y es tambin til en las hidropesas de origen renal, heptico o
cardaco; las diferencias entre los dos medicamentos son las siguientes : Arsenicum, tiene sed
insoportable, pero el paciente, slo bebe a pequeas cantidades y con frecuencia, porque el
agua le molesta el estmago. Hay vmitos despus de comer o beber. Yo he visto casos en los
que una sola cucharada de t, ha provocado el vmito. El paciente revela una marcada
inquietud.
Otro medicamento que debe compararse con Apis, es Apocynum cannabinum. Es

muy usado en el Oeste para las hidroposas generales, para la hinchazn de una parte
cualquiera del cuerpo, la ascitis, hidrotrax, etc., ordinariamente sin ninguna enfermedad
orgnica como causa. El paciente no puede tolerar ningn alimento. Estos o el agua son
inmediatamente vomitados; hay una sensacin de hundimiento, languidez y agotamiento en
el epigastrio.
El medicamento que sigue en semejanza a Apis, es Aceticum acidum. Es til en las

hidropesias, cuando la cara y los miembros tienen apariencia de cera o de alabastro;
especialmente est indicado cuando las partes ms declives del cuerpo, el abdomen y los
miembros inferiores, estn hinchados; es por lo tanto til en la ascitis; hasta aqu es
semejante a Apis, pero siempre hay sed, lo que en Apis no, y los desarreglos gstricos casi
siempre estn presentes; hay eruptos acedos, pirosis y diarrea. Acidum aceticum es un
medicamento injustamente descuidado en la hidropesa por lo visto se notar que est
colocado entre Apis y Arsenicum, difiriendo de los dos remedios por la preponderancia de
sus sntomas gstricos.
En la hidrocefalia, el medicamentoms semejante a Apis en la etapa de la exudacin,

es Sulphur. Se indica ms bien por sus caracteres generales, que por su afinidad particular
para las meninges. La meningitis tuberculosa, no puede ocurrir en un nio que est sano en lo
dems debe haber ah una ditesis en el origen del mal. Sulphur es til en la misma etapa en
que Apis cuando ste no ha podido despertar la reaccin y particularmente cuando el nio es
escrofuloso y presenta algunos otros sntomas de Sulphur. El nio yace en estupor, con sudor
fro sobre la frente; hay sacudidas de los miembros, particularmente los inferiores, con
espasmo de los dedos gordos y algunas veces de los pulgares. La orina est suprimida.
Sulphur estar indicado si ha habido retrocesin de alguna erupcin, antes de que la
enfermedad se haya desarrollado.
Helleborus es tambin semejante a Apis en la hidrocefalia; Apis es til mientras hay

todava irritacin del cerebro, como lo indica el grito enceflico. Helleborus est indicado
cuando el entorpecimiento predomina y el nio pierde el conocimiento completamente. Las
pupilas no reaccionan a la luz; la orina est suprimida; hay movimientos automticos de un
lado del cuerpo; se notar tambin una contraccin particular de los msculos de la frente,
especialmente del occpito-frontal; en los casos benignos, antes de que el estupor sea
profundo, se encontrar a Helleborus indicado por estos sntomas. Este fruncimiento de la
frente, existe junto con una continua masticacin; el nio parece no desear nada, no pide
nada; sin embargo, agua que se le d, la toma con avidez.
Ahora dir algunas palabras respecto a las diferencias que hay entre Belladonna y
Apis : Belladonna, generalmente no est indicada en la meningitis tuberculosa; es el primer
medicamento, para la meningitis simple, pero no para la forma tuberculosa; Belladonna es
esencialmente aguda por su sintomatologa; cada sntoma aparece repentinamente y con gran
intensidad, y la meningitis tuberculosa tiene un desarrollo lento; sin embargo, si los sntomas
premonitores son violentos se puede emplear Belladonna en el estado de hiperemia con
dolores agudos, agitacin, sacudidas, gritos durante el sueo, hundimiento de la cabeza en la
almohada, pero deja de ser el remedio indicado, cuando la exudacin se establece. La esfera
de accin de Belladonna, termina cuando comienza la de Apis.
Hay otro medicamento que se acomoda algunas veces entre Belladonna y Apis, y es
Bryonia, que acta sobre las membranas serosas produciendo copiosa exudacin; est
indicado despus de Belladonna; el nio se vuelve torpe por la compresin cerebral. La cara,
repentinamente se pone roja y despus palidece, siendo esto, generalmente un mal sntoma el
nio grita, especialmente cuando se mueve en lo ms mnimo; este es un sntoma
caracterstico. El nio est estuporoso, el abdomen est dilatado y la lengua generalmente
cubierta de un blanco saburroso en el centro. Esto ser todo lo que digamos acerca de Apis y
sus remedios concordantes en las hidropesas.
El uso siguiente que nosotros podemos hacer de Apis, es en la erisipela. Es til

particularmente en la erisipela de la cara, cuando se inicia por debajo o cerca del ojo derecho
y se extiende desde ah cruzando la cara, al lado izquierdo; la regin rpidamente llega a
ponerse edematosa y al principio, presenta un tinte rosado. Los dolores pronto llegan a ser
intensos, seguidos de ardor, y aguijoneantes; hay temperatura elevada, la piel est seca y
ausencia de sed.
Ahora, si la enfermedad no esdetenida y la cara adquiere un tinte livido purpreo,

como en loscasos flegmonosos, en los que el proceso inflamatorio compromete lostejidos
profundos causando destruccin de los mismos, Apis puedetodava ser el medicamento de
eleccin.
Tiene varios medicamentos concordantes en la erisipela: el primero es Belladonna. La

diferencia consiste en que Belladonna est indicado en la hinnchazn roja y brillante de la
cara (la forma lisa de la erisipela). No hay gran tendencia al edema o a la vesicacin; los
dolores son siempre agudos, con latidos en las partes afectadas. Casi siempre el cerebro
simpatiza de modo marcado, produciendo batimientos de la cabeza; ve visiones tan pronto
como cierra los ojos; se agita y tiene estremecimientos durante el sueo; el pulso es lleno y
duro.
Otro medicamento, ms semejante a Apis que Belladonna, es Rhus toxicodrendon.

Hay que ser muy escrupuloso al diferenciar estos medicamentos, porque son antagnicos y
no pueden darse el uno despus del otro. Bajo la accin de Rhus tox., el color de la cara es
rojo moreno y no rojo encendido como en Belladonna, no rosado o livido purpreo como en
Apis. Hay casi siempre vesicacin que arde y aguijonea; esta es distinguida de la de Apis, por
la preponderancia de la comezn. Bajo la accin de Rhus, generalmente la enfermedad va del
lado derecho al izquierdo cuando invade la cara. Apis se coloca entre Rhus y Belladonna por
su nerviosidad, participando de la inquietud del primero y de la excitacin cerebral del
segundo; ni el uno, ni el otro, reproduce exactamente el tinte livido o azuloso de Apis. En
esto, Lachesis se le asemeja ms, en ciertos casos, cuando la cara est azulosa, pero los
dems sntomas nos pondran en condiciones de distinguirlo.
Cuando la nariz es la regin primeramente invadida, Apis debe ser comparado con
Cantharis, aunque ste produce vesculas ms grandes con ms ardor.
Cuando la cara, despus de la erisipela es sensible al fro, comprese Rhus tox.,

Belladonna, Hepar sulph., Silic., Sulphur, etc.
Apis puede ser usado en la urticaria, cuando repentinamente aparecen sobre la
superficie del cuerpo ronchas blanco-rosadas; la comezn, ardor y aguijoneo, son
intolerables; la erupcin puede venir como resultado del fro o en el curso de la fiebre
intermitente.
En esto, Apis es semejante a Arsenicum, que tambin produce urticaria y a Urtica

reans. Este ltimo se indica para las ronchas, cuando en extensin no son tan considerables
como las de Apis; cuando la comezn y el ardor son intolerables y especialmente cuando el
mal ha provenido por la ingestin de mariscos.
Terebinthina y Copaiva, son tambin tiles en la urticaria que resulta de comer

mariscos.
Kali bromatum est indicado cuando la urticaria sobreviene con desarreglos

nerviosos.
Debe pensarse en Rhus tox., cuando acompaa a las fiebres intermitentes o al

reumatismo.
Bovista ser el medicamento de eleccin cuando es acompaada de diarrea, siendo las

evacuaciones intestinales seguidas de tenesmo y ardor.
Pulsatilla, cuando la urticaria es de origen gstrico o uterino.
Calcarea ostrearum, se adapta especialmente a los casos crnicos; y Sulphur y Rhus

se indican cuando la molestia empeora al aire libre y sobre todo el ultimo, cuando empeora
mientras se desviste el enfermo.
Apis tambin puede ser empleado en la variola, cuando hay intensa hinchazn y
comezn.
Tambin en el reumatismo, ya sea articular o muscular est frecuentemente indicado;

en el reumatismo articular comnmente llamado reumatismo inflamatorio agudo. Las partes
afectadas se sienten tiesas y sumamente sensibles a la presin; hay con frecuencia sensacin
de adormecimiento; la articulacin o articulaciones afectadas estn hinchadas,
experimentando el paciente una sensacin de estiramiento. La hinchazn es ms bien de un
color rojo plido y puede descubrirse alguna fluctuacin en la articulacin; hay ardor y
aguijoneo que empeora por cualquier movimiento.
La debilidad paraltica en Apis es semejante a la que produce la absorcin de venenos

animales y puede compararse con los efectos subitos y violentos de ciertos vegetales y
minerales.
Apis ha sido empleado con xito en las parlisis que siguen a las afeciones
debilitantes, tales como la difteria, fiebre tifoidea y tambin cuando las efusiones menngeas
persisten despus de la inflamacin. Todos estos casos, sea que haya sido suprimido el
exantema o ste exista, constituyen una indicacin caracterstica para el veneno de las abejas
y la reaparicin de los sntomas cutneos deber indicar su interrupcin tanto tiempo como
dure la mejoria asi producda. En esto, Sulphur es un gran coadyuvante.
En los casos de postracin, el paciente est nervioso, inquieto y excesivamente
sensible o enardecido y somnoliento, ya sea que tenga o no sed.
Apis produce un tipo de fiebre intermitente y puede, en consecuencia, ser empleado

en la misma. El fro se presenta caractersticamente a las tres de la tarde y es acompaado o
no de sed; una opresin en el pecho como si estuviera demasiado lleno, siendo esto resultado,
en buena parte, de la congestin de las vsceras torcicas. El escalofro empeora por el
moderado calor de la cama y es seguido de calor enardecedor en todo el cuerpo, aumento de
la sensacin de opresin del pecho, somnolencia, pero generalmente no hay sed y el calor de
la habitacin llega a ser intolerable; despus viene el sudor, aunque ste puede ser
imperfecto; nunca hay sed durante el sudor, lo que es caracterstico.
En la apirexia muchos de sus sntomas estn presentes; el paciente a menudo se queja

de dolores en la regin costal en uno u otro lado; los pies estn edematosos, la piel lvida y
con aspecto creo; la orina es escasa y puede haber urticaria.
Por esto se ver que est indicada en las formas ms graves de estas afecciones,
cuando el abuso de la quinina ha hecho confuso el caso y en las formas crnicas cuando el
estado general est debilitado y hay repercusiones en el hgado, bazo,etc.
El medicamento ms concordante con Apis en estos achaques, es Natrum muriaticum;

est indicado en los tipos de fiebre intermitente idnticos a los de Apis; la principal diferencia
consiste en la hora en que aparece el escalofro; en el caso de
Natrum es a las diez de la maana y a las tres de las tres la tarde en Apis.
La eleccin de Apis en los tipos de fiebre tifdica, se funda preferentemente en el

estado mental; el delirio no es de carcter activo; el paciente yace en el estupor y musita entre
dientes; la cara est o no sonrojada, ms frecuentemente plida y como de cera: hay cierto
grado de ansiedad como si se tratara de una afeccin visceral o es manifiesta una expresin
de felicidad. La piel, en este tipo de fiebre, est enardecida en algunos lugares, mientras que
en otros est ms fra de lo natural y casi siempre seca; si hay sudor, es generalmente de
carcter transitorio; tan grande es la postracin del paciente que carece de fuerzas musculares
para mantenerse en una sola posicin sobre la almohada y s desliza hacia los pies de la
cama; la lengua est seca, partida y roja como en Lachesis; al intentar sacarla, queda
temblorosa y apretada por las arcadas dentarias; casi siempre est cubierto su dorso de una
capa obscura o blanquecina, mientras que en sus bordes, especialmente en la punta, est roja
y cubierta de pequeas vesculas; la sensacin de magulladura es muy notable en el abdomen
abultado.
En estos casos Apis se parece a Muriaticum acidum, el cual presenta esta postracin,
pero adems su caracterstica ditesis cida.
Apis, a ms de los usos que se han mencionado, est indicada en la escarlatina. Aqu
nos encontramos con la misma falta de reaccin natural para producir la fiebre. Apis no est
indicado en la variedad de Sydenham, en la que Belladonna s est con frecuencia indicada,
pero es til cuando existe una erupcin miliar que Belladonna no produce. El cuerpo est
muy caliente en algunos lugares, pero fro en otros. La erupcin es de un color intensamente
rojo, tanto como en Belladonna, pero difiere este remedio como se recordar, en la presencia
de la erupcin miliar. El nio est amodorrado y duerme la mayor parte del tiempo o bien
somnoliento y, sin embargo, no puede dormir. Debemos recordar este ltimo sntoma, porque
es idntico al que produce Belladonna. El estado de asoporamiento o la ausencia de sueo va
asociado de agitacin e inquietud. Se notar tambin que el enfermo est de mal humor y
manifiesta en cada sntoma, estar muy irascible.
Este estado de agitacin de Apis debe ser ditinguido del que produce Rhus y
Belladonna; con Rhus, hay un estado de inquietud general del cuerpo y de la mente; el
paciente est cambiando constantemente de posicin y sin embargo no es la ansiedad de
Arsenicum. En Apis, esta inquietud, proviene de una sensacin neviosa general; en Rhus es
un deseo de moverse.
La imposibilidad para dormir en Belladonna, proviene de la inflamacin o congestin

del cerebro. La hiperemia produce este estado de amodorramiento y el
cerebro est tan agotado que el paciente no puede dormir.
Adems de los sntomas ya mencionados para la escarlatina, encontramos que Apis

est indicado cuando la enfermedad avanza hasta el derrame seroso en el cerebro.
Los sntomas de la garganta son importantes; a menudo se encontrarn membranas

diftricas sobre las amgdalas; la garganta en su interior est hinchada y de color rojo
-rosado, mientras que exteriormente est inflamada y con un tinte erisipelatoso azulado. Apis
podra tambin usarse en esta enfermedad tardamente, para las secuelas; es decir, para
cuando los riones han sido atacados y la anasarca aparece con albuminuria.
De nuevo encontramos a Apis indicado en la difteria. La enfermedad avanza tan

insidiosamente que su presencia no es sospechada; desde el principio el nio est en una
profunda postracin con temperatura no muy elevada y somnolencia; el pulso es rpido pero
no fuerte; al principio la garganta est como si hubiera sido barnizada; como si las
amgdaleas y las fauces estuvieran cubiertas con un barniz rojo y lustroso. Las falsas
membranas se forman sobre una de las amgdalas, ms frecuentemente la derecha, que se
engruesa y adquiere una apariencia como de cuero lavado; la lengua casi siempre est
inflamada de tal manera que el nio con dificultad puede pasar el alimento. Si es
suficientemente grande para poderse explicar, se queja de una sensacin como de un cuerpo
extrao que necesita deglutir constantemente, lo que hace con mucha dificultad. La
explicacin de esto se encuentra en el siguiente sntoma : la vula est inflamade y
edematosa, cuelga como un saco de agua y por esto hay una sensacin de plenitud. Si se
examina la garganta detenidamente se encontrarn los bordes de la glotis, edematosos, rojos
haciendose la respiracin muy dificil; esto se debe a que la entrada de la laringe se estrecha.
en algunos de estos casos el aliento es muy ftido, mientras que en otros es poco o nada.
En otros casos se encontrar como caracterstico de Apis, un rash rojizo sobre la

superficie del cuerpo, induciendo a pensar que se trata de un caso de escarlatina. La garganta
en el exterior est hinchada y erisipelatoria y tambin para el edema de la glotis.
Hay muchos otros remedios semejantes a Apis en la difteria, uno de ellos es

Arsenicum.
Arsenicum, se indica, como es de suponerse, en los casos serios cuando la garganta

est muy hinchada tanto interior como exteriormente; la membrana es de un tinte obscuro y
hay gran fetidez. Hay escurrimiento delgado y escoriante por la nariz. La garganta est
edematosa como en Apis; el paciente est inquieto, sobre todo despus de la media noche; la
orina es escasa y puede haber constipacin, o bien una diarrea acuosa y ftida. Todava, en
otros casos, cuando a despecho del tinte obscuro y purpurino de la garganta y de la gran
inflamacin y postracin, no hay mucho dolor, Natrum arsenicosum ser el remedio
indicado; aqu tambin la vula cuelga como una bolsa de agua.
Hay todava otro remedio y es Kali permanganicum. Este medicamento, raramente

empleado en altas potancias, se indica cuando la garganta, interior y exteriormente est
hinchada, edematosa y horriblemente ftida y hay un escurrimiento nasal espeso. El gran
caracterstico es la fetidez. Apis produce una irritacin del revestimiento mucoso de la
laringe y trquea y tambin dolor de las paredes torcicas.
Se ha encontrado muy til cuando los sntomas larngeos acompaan a la erisipela,

edema de la garganta, edema de la glotis o laringe y en la supresin de las erupciones; menos
frecuentemente est indicado en la simple laringitis o en el catarro larngeo.
La dificultad para respirar y especialmente el sntoma nico de Apis "no ve cmo

podr seguir respirando", ha conducido al xito empleando la droga en el hidrotrax, en el
hidropericardio, en el edema pulmonar y en el asma.
Los dolores lancinantes en forma de dardo, las palpitaciones, la ortopnea, etc.,

convierten a Apis en un precioso medicamento en las inflamaciones cardiacas y en la
hidropesa. Los sntomas esenciales parecen ser el edema o una inflamacin brusca de las
mucosas; la dispnea y los dolores repentinos, lancinantes o picantes; la inquietud y la
ansiedad. Debe compararse con Lachesis, Arsenicum, Sulphur, Belladonna, Kali carbonicum,
Spigelia, Digitalis, Asparagus, Apocynum cannabinum.
Arsenicum y Apis tienen mucha semejanza; son muy parecidos en lo que se refiere a
la agitacin al cambio de lugar y a la dispnea y frecuentemente son mal aplicados el uno por
el otro. La mejor distincin es la inquietud nerviosa peculiar de Apis. Si hay hidropesa, los
dos pueden ser empleados, si los miembros estn inflamados, hay tensin y estn plidos;
pero Apis tiene frecuentemente enrojecimiento, comezn o existe un estado erisiplatoso y
casi siempre falta la sed.
Belladonna puede tambin equivocarse muchas veces con Apis en las afecciones de la
laringe; el ltimo produce un estado inflamatorio ms edematoso con la consiguente
dispnea; en cambo, en Balldonna, es ms caracterstica la constriccin espasmdica.
En las afecciones cardacas. Arsenicum, Apocynum cannabinum, Digitalis y

Asparagus, tienen mucha semejanza con Apis, especialmente cuando hay gran debilidad e
hidropesa. Apocynun cannabinum se hace necesario cuando el pulso es pequeo y dbil y
los batimientos cardacos irregulares; unas veces dbiles y otras veces fuertes, y hay
desfallecimiento en el epigastrio. Asparagus se acomoda mejor a las personas ancianas con
pulso dbil y dolor en el acromin izquierdo.
Digitalis produce una apariencia pastosa de la piel; el pulso es lento o dbil, con
aceleracin a cada movimiento del cuerpo; sensacin de desfallecimiento y nusea mortal en
el epigastrio, inmediatamente despus de comer.
La tos no es un sntoma poco comn en los casos que reclaman el uso de Apis. Se
asemeja ms o menos a Lachesis, Carbo vegetabilis, Rumex, Belladonna, Chamomilla,
Crotalus horridus, Nux vmica, Bryonia, Ignatia, Arsenicum Hyosciamus.
Lachesis, Nux vom., Bryonia, Hyosciamus, estn indicados cuando el moco es

adherente. Pero en Lachesis hay intolerancia al tacto, aun a los vestidos, sobre todo al
rededor del cuello, sntoma que no es muy marcado en Apis, excepto cuando est presente la
sensacin de sofocacin.
Rumex produce una tos molesta y persistente que se agrava por el aire fro o por todo
lo que acrecienta el volumen o la rapidez del aire inspirado. Chamomilla, difiere
mentalmente.
Nux vom. cura la tos producida por un moco adherente en la parte ms elevada de la
trquea, pero hay una sensacin de aspereza y raspadura de la garganta.
En Bryonia la irritacin epigstricia la irritacin suprsternal y los dolores de la

trquea y paredes torcicas son agudos, punzantes, al mismo tiempo que hay sensacin de
magullamiento.
Ignatia produce una tos nerviosa, y mientras ms tose el paciente, la irritacin es ms

molesta.
Arsenicum produce sensacin de ardor y cosquilleo en la fosa supraesternal, pero

como coincide en esto con Apis, podra ser comparada con este ltimo, especialmente cuando
la tos acompaa a la hidropesa, a una enfermedad del corazn, etc.Arsenicum es realmente
un concomitante.
Belladonna podra ser empleado sin razn en lugar de Apis; pero debe distinguirse por
la caracterstica constriccin de la garganta y por la inflamacin ms intensamenteenrojecida.
Corbo vegetabilis est indicado en la ronquera, cuando hay sensacin de desolladura,

pero la irritacin es parecida a la que produjera el vapor del azufre.
Veremos ahora cmo Apis obra sobre los rganos genitales: frecuentemente est
indicado en las enfermedades de los rganos de la mujer; casi todas las experimentadoras han
encontrado sntomas que se relacionan al utero o los ovarios; debe darse con cautela en el
embarazo, porque empleado a dosis frecuentes y en bajas atenuaciones puede ocasinar el
aborto, principalmente en el tercer mes, pues produce una sensacin de pesantez en el tero.
Podemos emplearlo en la amenorrea, cuando hay congestin ceflica, con sensacin de
pesantez en la regin uterina. Particularmente est indicada en la edad de la pubertad, cuando
la nia es nerviosa y torpe. No se trata de una torpeza natural, sino que consiste en una
incoordinacin muscular. Con estos sntomas hay afluencia de sangre a la cara.
Podemos tambin hacer uso de Apis en las afecciones de los ovarios, especialmente
del derecho; afecta en la misma relacin el ovario derecho, como Lachesis lo hace con el
izquierdo. Est indicado en la ovaritis con intensos dolores en la regin ovrica derecha,
cuando al mismo tiempo hay ardor y sensacin de aguijoneo o alguna tumefaccin que se
descubre, ya por encima de la pelvis o de un modo ms caracterstico, a travs del recto o la
vagina.
En los quistes del ovario, Apis es un excelente medicamento para controlar su

desarrollo, especialmente en las fases iniciales; debe agregarse aqu a la sensacin de ardor y
aguijoneo, un entumecimiento que desciende al muslo y abarca todo el lado derecho del
cuerpo; hay una sensacin de opresin en el pecho acompaada de tos, que no es sintomtica
de una afeccin de las vas respiratorias, sino refleja del tero.
Hay una mezcla de miel de abejas con sal, conocida con el nombre de Mel cum sale.
Este fu un medicamento popular en Alemania para las molestias de la vejiga, y que son
peculiares a la mujer. Lo he usado en el prolapso uterino y en las metritis crnicas,
especialmente cuando va asociada a la subinvolucin e inflamacin del cuello; el sntoma
caracterstico que induce a usar esta mezcla es un dolor que atraviesa el epigastrio y va de
ilion a ilion.
Apis puede ser til en las enfermedades de los ojos. Yo he visto muchos casos de
astenopa curados por este medicamento, cuando la lectura produce esozor con lacrimeo y
comezn en los parpados y algo de ardor y aguijoneo; tambin est indicado en el estafiloma,
con asiento en la esclerticas o en la crnea.
En las enfermedades externas del ojo Apis no carece de valor : los ojos se ponen muy
sensibles a la luz; la conjunctiva est roja e hinchada y quemotica; sin embargo, esta
inflamacin de la conjuntiva palpebral que produce Apis es ms bien congestiva que debido a
la verdadera quemosis, como sucede en Rhus, el cual es muy semejante, especialmente en lo
que se refiere a la hinchazn edematosa de los prpados; quemosis; lacrimeo abundante y
caliente y erisipela. Pero Apis tiene menos tendencia a la formacin de pus, sntoma que es
altamente caracterstico de Rhus tox. En Apis, los dolores son de aguijoneo; las
exacerbaciones son vespertinas y el agua fra mejora la inflamacin de los prpados. Si estn
erisipelatosos stos, tienen un color rojo azulado, de apariencia acuosa como semi-
transparentes. En Rhus, los dolores empeoran por la noche, particularmente despus de las 12
p.m.; el moderado calor de la cama los alivia; los prpados erisipelatosos tienen un color rojo
moreno y juntamente con las mejillas, estn salpicados de pequeas vesculas acuosas. Los
dolores en Rhus tox., son generalmente de un carcter tirante y desgarrante, aunque en la
erisipela puede haber dolor y punzadas, pero con ms escozor que en el veneno de las abejas.
Los prpados casi siempre se sienten pesados y tiesos.
Arsenicum se compara con Apis en el lacrimeo caliente, violentos dolores y prpados

edematosos; pero el lacrimeo es ms acre; los prpados edematosos son plidos y no rojo-
azulosos; la conjuntiva palpebral y los bordes de los prpados son muy rojos; la inquietud es
ms pronunciada; la mejora se experimenta, generalmente, por aplicaciones calientes,
aunque el paciente escrofuloso puede abrir los ojos en el aire fro y libre, lo que no consigue
en su habitacin, aun cuando sta est obscura. Los sntomas empeoran despus de la media
noche.
Volviendo a los sntomas que Apis produce en los ojos, diremos que los prpados
estn hinchados, rojos y edematosos; hay ardor en los cartlagos tarsos, aglutinacin en los
prpados; repentinos y muy intensos dolores atraviesan los ojos que se alivian por
aplicaciones de agua fra; generalmente se empeoran en la primera mitad de la noche. Apis
frecuentemente est indicado en la oftalma escrofulosa, en cuya afeccin, puede ser seguido
a menudo por Kali bichromicum.
Me resta hablar solamente de los sntomas intestinales de Apis. Este puede ser un
valioso medicamento en las diarreas, como por ejemplo, cuando se presentan en el curso de
la fiebre tifoidea o de la escarlatina o bien como consecuencia de la influencia debilitante del
calor continuado.
Ser til en la diarrea de los nios, cuando estn muy debilitados; generalmente hay
irritabilidad cerebral y un estado conocido como hidrocefaloide. Los sntomas son muy
semejantes a los que reclaman a Apis en la hidrocefalia. El nio despierta con un grito; las
deyecciones son delgadas y acuosas, amarillentas y generalmente empeoran por la maana; a
cada movimiento del cuerpo, los intestinos funcionan como si el esfnter anal careciera de
fuerza; las evacuaciones pueden o no ser ftidas.
Apis difiere de Bryonia, que produce diarrea por la maana y que empeora por el
movimiento; en Apis, el movimiento agrava, no porque sea uno de sus efectos generales, sino
porque el esfnter anal est inseguro.
En los casos graves, se encontrarescasa la orina.
Tambin puede pensarse en Apis en el panadizo. Los dedos se inflaman rpidamente;

su superficie es tensa, rojo-brillante y hay violentos ardores y aguijoneo.
Bajo este punto de vista es muy semejante a Sulphur, que le sigue bien cuando su
accin seaincompleta.
MODALIDADES - Apis tiene mejora general por aplicaciones fras; muchos de sus
sntomas empeoran por las tardes y en la noche; solamente la diarrea aumenta en la maana.
El movimiento generalmente agrava, como tambin se agrava el enfermo por estar en una
habitacin caliente.
Plantago y Lachesis, parecen antdotos de Apis y ste es complementario de Natrum

muriticum.
Ledum palustre fu propuesto por Teste, como un antdoto para los piquetes de
insectos. El Dr. Drydale, ha curado con l, el escozor nocturno de los pies.
Para terminar me permito recomendar se tengan presentes las relaciones de Apis con
Arsenicum, Acidum acticum, Belladonna, Rhus y Sulphur, Debemos recordar tambin su
antagonismo con Rhus.

Caractersticas.- Los efectos bien conocidos del piquete de abeja: ardor, dolor
aguijoneante, lancinante con edema excesivo, dan los keynotes principales para su
empleo en gran variedad de estados. Agregado a esto hay gran sensibilidad en la
superficie al tacto. Adolorimiento general: "cada cabello es doloroso al tacto". Gran
debilidad como si hubiera trabajado mucho que lo impulsa a acostarse. Sensacin de
cansancio y adolorido. Gran inquietud y agitacin (La inquietud de Ars. es ms por
ansiedad mental). Temblor, sacudidas y contracciones. Contracciones de la mitad del
cuerpo, la otra sin fuerzas o paralizada. Hemiplejia. Apis es una medicina ms del lado
derecho; sntomas proceden del derecho al izquierdo (Rhus del izquierdo al derecho) y
de arriba hacia abajo. En un experimentador involuntario de Apis, en una mujer (de
cuarenta aos, fuerte de hbitos completos) que tena abejas y era picada
frecuentemente sin efectos constitucionales, los siguientes sntomas marcados y
peculiares, fueron notados ocasionalmente, agregados a los bien conocidos (New Eng.
Med. Gaz., Nov., 1887): Rigidez de maxilar inferior llegando a la sensacin de
completa fijacin. Esta rigidez se extenda a la lengua y garganta, haciendo el habla
difcil y no inteligible, y causando un estado de gran malestar, la rigidez se acompaaba
de una sensacin de constriccin que le provocaba una tos seca, espasmdica a cortos
intervalos. Alguna dificultad para respirar, especialmente la inspiracin. Estos sntomas
se acompaaban de una inquietud terrible. En una ocasin ms tarde haba disnea, cara
prpura, cabeza hacia atrs. Los mismos sntomas recurran, pero la garganta estaba
ms hinchada y el malestar se extenda debajo de la laringe a la parte superior del
pulmn, que pronto se pona muy adolorido y sensible. Una hora despus del piquete,
en sta ocasin, se present una tos violenta. Pareca ser provocada por una sensacin
de constriccin en la garganta, pero llegaba al lugar adolorido de los pulmones,
causando gran malestar. Era una tos profunda, dura, que duraba por tres horas sin
intermisiones. Trazas de la tos y lo adolorido duraron por meses. Otro sntoma fue una
contraccin ominosa de los msculos de las extremidades controladas por calentarse los
pies y lavarse las manos. Ledum le dio mejora instantnea de sus graves sntomas.Los
sntomas ardorosos de Apis se distinguen de los del Ars. que son < por el calor. Lo
aguijoneante aparece en muchas enfermedades y estados, causa el "grito cerebral " en
hidrocefalia aguda y meningitis. Dolores aguijoneantes en hemorroides.
"Enrojecimiento e hinchazn con dolor aguijoneante y ardoroso en los ojos, prpados,
odos, cara, labios, lengua, garganta, ano, testculos." Edema de la garganta puede estar
acompaada por dolores aguijoneantes, pero si el caso es ms avanzado puede ser
absolutamente indolora, y por lo tanto es ms peligrosa. (Bapt. tiene afeccin de la
garganta sin dolor, pero el edema es menos.- Nash).Apis tiene una accin lenta, no debe
cambiarse pronto. El aumento de flujo de orina muestra un efecto favorable. El edema
de Apis est caracterizado por un tinte ceroso de la piel, blanquizco o amarillento;
edema transparente de los prpados; edema como una bolsa debajo de los ojos;
superficie del cuerpo adolorido, golpeado o ardoroso. En edema cardaco de los pies, se
hinchan despus de caminar y estn intolerablemente adoloridos y ardorosos. En
afecciones del pecho, hay una sensacin de contraccin (Lach.) e incapacidad de
acostarse. Tensin, edema y rigidez de extremidades. La sensacin de apretado es
manifiesto en otro sntoma: sensacin en el abdomen como si algo apretado se rompiera
si se hace mucho esfuerzo para obrar unas heces de constipacin. Aversin a cosas
ajustadas como Lach. Postracin casi al desmayo. Debilidad paraltica. Parlisis
(despus de difteria y otras enfermedades severas). Inquietud nerviosa, muy sensible; o
caliente y somnoliento, con o sin sed. < por el tacto o la presin (aunque la cabeza est
> por la presin). En esto Apis se asemeja a los Antimonios, en que es muy sensible al
calor, especialmente al calor de los cuartos (Puls., Iod., Kali iod., Camph., Secale,
Sulph. ); < por el calor de la cama. Agua fra >. Muchos sntomas (ojos y pecho) son <
en la noche y el sueo est alterado por gritos, o tambin por quejidos y lamentos. < en
la maana: mucosidad en la boca, inquietud, diarrea. < al anochecer: erisipelas, mareo,
cefalea, escalofro, fiebre. Muchos sntomas estn < acostado y > sentado.

Apis mellifica (Wheeler)
Apis mellifica -El veneno de la abeja: tinturas preparadas con alcohol

Los efectos de las picaduras de abejas sobre personas sensibles son con frecuencia tanto
generales como locales. Tales sntomas, completados por experimentaciones deliberadas de
la tintura y verificados y extendidos por la experiencia clnica, constituyen un cuadro
medicamentoso caracterstico que seala un remedio valioso en una cierta variedad de
enfermedades, y en forma principal aunque no exclusiva, en afecciones agudas y
subagudas. En muchos lugares existe la creencia popular de que las picaduras de abejas
alivian o curan el reumatismo y ejemplos del evidente efecto medicinal de las mismas aun
en casos crnicos de larga evolucin han sido registrados por mdicos. La experiencia
homeoptica confirma la relacin medicinal de Apis con ciertas afecciones articulares y
justifica la creencia popular, al tiempo que define los casos aptos para responder a la droga.
Localmente las picaduras de abeja originan un considerable edema y los efectos generales
del txico incluyen probablemente una cierta disminucin de la coagulabilidad sangunea,
pues aparece una tendencia a la urticaria y a los derrames serosos.
Apis acta especialmente sobre las partes exteriores del cuerpo: la piel y los tejidos
celulares, y tambin sobre los revestimientos de los rganos y las membranas serosas en
general. En consecuencia, los derrames serosos recientes, la inflamacin aguda de los
riones y otros tejidos parenquimatosos, son afecciones que hacen pensar en Apis al
homepata. Resulta especialmente valioso en una cantidad de inflamaciones locales de la
piel y mucosas; por ejemplo, la erisipela, la faringitis o la amigdalitis pueden responder a
Apis. Los derrames pleurales recientes (no purulentos), la pericarditis y los derrames
sinoviales entran en su esfera de accin. Pero en todos los casos estn presentes los
sntomas orientadores que conducen a la eleccin del medicamento. Al igual que los otros
grandes venenos del reino animal -los venenos de serpiente - se trata de un remedio
adecuado para quienes toleran mal el calor. Por lo general, el paciente se encuentra
agravado por el calor en todas sus formas: una habitacin donde hace mucho calor, ropas
muy abrigadas, el calor del fuego y las bebidas calientes. De modo similar, la afeccin local
es agravada por el calor y aliviada por el fro.
La mayora de las dolencias que requieren Apis se asocian con un cierto grado de edema,
acompaado por dolores pungitivos y quemantes y una extrema hiperestesia de las partes
afectadas; existe gran sensibilidad de la superficie al tacto y dolor general acentuado. La
aversin al tacto o a la presin tiene una excepcin: la presin exterior alivia en forma neta
los dolores de cabeza. Tambin existe aversin a la ropa ceida. Tales sntomas recuerdan
los similares producidos por Lachesis. Pero mientras que la sensibilidad de Lachesis es casi
enteramente una irritabilidad nerviosa, la de Apis est acompaada por una sensacin
general de dolor y una sensacin de estar cansado y magullado, que produce a menudo un
efecto como de gran fatiga corporal. El resultado final de tales sensaciones es un estado de
debilidad que puede progresar hasta la paresia real, ms funcional, sin embargo, que
orgnica, si bien, como veremos luego, el veneno puede causar espasmo muscular-y el
resultado final de esa excesiva estimulacin sera una depresin. No obstante, a pesar de
toda esta incomodidad se produce una acentuada agitacin e incluso movimientos
nerviosos.
La agitacin tambin recuerda el efecto del arsnico, pero en este medicamento se trata
ms bien de un sntoma mental; en Apis es ms el resultado del padecimiento corporal y del
intent de hallar alivio cambiando de posicin. Por tal motivo, como sntoma est en
realidad vinculado ms estrechamente con el alivio por el movimiento producido por Rhus,
con el cual Apis tiene ciertos puntos de semejanza. Sin embargo, los dolores de Apis no son
aliviados en forma acentuada por el movimiento: la bsqueda involuntaria de alivio en la
agitacin no tiene xito . *
Existe evidencia de efectos del veneno de abeja sobre los centros nerviosos, pues el
temblor, las contracciones espasmdicas y las sacudidas de grupos musculares son sntomas
destacados en este complejo. Tales espasmos pueden ser seguidos por rigidez (por ejemplo,
de la mandbula o la lengua). Dichos sntomas nerviosos motores (lo mismo que los
dolores) muestran una preferencia por el lado derecho del cuerpo (opuesta a la de Lachesis).
Las afecciones que conducen al estado de Apis se asocian con frecuencia con emociones
como la pena, los sustos, la clera y los celos y especialmente tienden a sobrevenir despus
de erupciones suprimidas.+ Las dolencias tienen un comienzo violento y evolucionan con
rapidez, de tal modo que en ciertos casos el paciente se vuelve estuporoso o inconsciente.
La intensidad del padecimiento del enfermo tiene su apogeo a fines de la tarde.
En la esfera mental existe por lo general un comportamiento con agitacin ansiosa y
llantos. Cuando el estado es menos grave el paciente est deprimido, propenso al llanto sin
causa, con inquietud nerviosa y exigente: hay por lo comn llantos y gemidos.
En las infecciones ms graves, como la erisipela o la difteria, el estado mental tiende ms a
la indiferencia, la apata y la incapacidad para pensar con claridad. En los niveles ms
graves de infeccin esta apata puede llegar incluso al estupor o a la inconsciencia; en
consecuencia, se ha utilizado Apis con considerable xito en la meningitis y la hidrocefalia.
Gradualmente el paciente pasa a un estado de inconsciencia, el cual se caracteriza por ir
acompaado de sbitos gritos o chillidos, agudos y penetrantes, como si el paciente
experimentara fuertes dolores en la cabeza. Puede sobrevenir un delirio musitante, tambin
acompaado por esos peculiares y repentinos gritos penetrantes. Se debe observar que la
agravacin general por el calor se extiende al estado mental. El calor en cualquier forma
agrava marcadamente todos los sntomas mentales: una habitacin donde hace calor, ropas
muy abrigadas, un bao caliente; as, por ejemplo, cuando a un paciente de este tipo que se
encuentra en estado estuporoso, se lo coloca en un bao caliente, es propenso a caer en un
estado de contracciones espasmdicas y convulsiones. En el paciente de Apis el calor en
cualquier forma agrava todos los sntomas, mentales y locales.
*"quella inferma Che non puo trovar posa in sulle piume Ma con dar Volta suo dolore
scherma."
+Se ha observado a menudo que en los exantemas como el sarampin y la escarlatina un
desarrollo escaso o la desaparicin del "rash" se acompaa de sntomas serios y a menudo
muy graves, en realidad una toxemia ms profunda. Tales sucesos dirigen el pensamiento
del homepata hacia ciertos medicamentos que la experiencia clnica ha demostrado ser
muy tiles. En enfermedades cutneas crnicas mucho ms numerosas, existe asimismo una
firme creencia de que la estimulacin del tratamiento local puede dar lugar a la desaparicin
de la erupcin sin eliminar su causa y que esto es inconveniente y puede ser seguido por
sntomas en otros rganos.
En las afecciones que requieren Apis, la cabeza suele estar caliente y congestionada, lo que
se acompaa de dolores repentinos y punzantes, que son agravados por el movimiento y
mejorados en forma clara por la presin externa (se trata de una modalidad contradictoria,
pues por lo general el tacto y la presin agravan los dolores de Apis). En la meningitis,
aguda o crnica, se pone de manifiesto en forma especial esta modalidad de mejora por la
presin, pues el nio hunde la cabeza en la almohada. Aqu el estado mental general es de
estupor, acompaado por ocasionales gritos penetrantes.
Muchas afecciones inflamatorias de los ojos, como oftalma, estafiloma de la crnea, iritis
serosa y queratitis encuentran su remedio en Apis. Todas estas afecciones se caracterizan
por una exudacin serosa: edema considerable, repentinos dolores pungitivos y una
marcada agravacin por el calor y, en consecuencia, deseo, habitualmente con alivio
temporario, de aplicaciones locales fras.
La cara del paciente de Apis vara de acuerdo con la manifestacin de la enfermedad que se
presenta. En las fiebres infecciosas agudas suele ser roja y quemante; en las enfermedades
renales la cara es crea, plida y edematosa. Apis tiene valor en el tratamiento de la
erisipela que afecta la cara; por lo general, la infeccin se extiende desde el lado derecho
hacia el izquierdo. El dolor es descrito como pungitivo, la cara est roja e hinchada y el
edema no guarda proporcin con la intensidad del dolor.
En las fiebres agudas la lengua est ardiente, caliente y roja, incluso caliente y seca; en las
fiebres tficas puede estar caliente, seca y temblorosa, semejante a la lengua de Lachesis.
Con respecto al conducto alimenticio, la faringe es muy sensible a la accin de Apis y la
amigdalitis con edema requiere este medicamento. En todas las afecciones de la garganta
existe edema acompaado por dolores quemantes y pungitivos. Las bebidas fras o el sorber
hielo alivian ese estado, que es agravado por el calor en cualquier forma. Las amgdalas y la
vula estn tumefactas y su aspecto es rojo. En los primeros estadios de la escarlatina que
requiere Apis, la garganta es de aspecto rojo brillante y edematoso y duele al deglutir. Por lo
general, el paciente est caluroso, desea destaparse, quiere aire y las ventanas abiertas y se
sofoca en una habitacin caliente. Adems, habitualmente no tiene sed. Este medicamento
es igualmente valioso en el tratamiento de la difteria, en los casos en que la garganta est
dolorosa y edematizada (a menudo la membrana no es extensa), con agravacin por el calor.
En el aspecto mental, el paciente puede estar inerte y aptico, incluso estuporoso.
El estmago presenta pocos sntomas caractersticos. En la mayor parte de las afecciones el
paciente no tiene sed, aunque se puede presentar ocasionalmente la modalidad opuesta y en
tal caso existe una sed insaciable. El paciente de ApiS tiene intenso deseo de leche y ostras.
Cuando est afectado el abdomen, se encuentra la sensibilidad superficial general peculiar
de Apis. En la pared abdominal se siente un dolor parecido al de una magulladura y todo el
abdomen es sumamente sensible a la presin. Se puede presentar peritonitis con gran
sensibilidad a la presin y dolores pungitivos, junto con los sntomas generales de Apis.
En la esfera genitourinaria la droga est indicada para algunas afecciones inflamatorias del
rin, en especial durante o despus de fiebres eruptivas. La nefritis aguda con albuminuria
y cilindros (por ejemplo, nefritis escarlatinosa) puede ser combatida con Apis. En tales
casos hay dolor en la regin lumbar y a nivel de los riones, asociado con dolor a la presin
de la pared abdominal. La nefritis es acompaada por un gran edema, especialmente en la
cara y parte superior del cuerpo. La piel est seca, y el paciente puede estar agitado y sin
sed; si la enfermedad es ms aguda, entra en un estado de estupor.
En el varn hay habitualmente un aumento del deseo sexual; pero aparte de inflamaciones
locales con marcado edema, caso en que Apis es un remedio de valor, aunque temporario, -
se lo requiere escasamente en las enfermedades de los rganos genitales masculinos.
En la mujer su efecto es ms acentuado, aparte de las inflamaciones locales. A menudo
Apis alivia la dismenorrea y afecciones recientes de los ovarios y las trompas
(especialmente del lado derecho), cuando los dolores son intensos y hormigueantes. La
neuralgia de los ovarios, especialmente del ovario derecho, es acompaada por dolores
pungitivos y una sensacin de magulladura en las paredes abdominales. Como ocurre
siempre en el caso de Apis, la aplicacin de calor produce agravacin. Apis ha detenido la
amenaza de aborto cuando la paciente experimenta dolores pungitivos en la regin ov rica,
siente calor, desea estar destapada y no tiene sed. La supresin de la menstruacin,
especialmente en mujeres jvenes, acompaada de calor y enrojecimiento de la cara y
seguida por sntomas cerebrales, como excitacin intensa o incluso mana, alternando con
estupor, ha encontrado uno de sus remedios en Apis.
Se advierte la afinidad de Apis con las serosas en su efecto sobre el pericardios con la
existencia de dolor en el rea precordial, orina escasa, hinchazn de los miembros y las
modalidades generales de Apis. De este modo, la pericarditis puede encontrar un remedio
eficaz en este medicamento.
En la esfera respiratoria, adems de estar indicado en la pleuresa con derrame no
purulento, la patogenesia contiene los sntomas de una violenta tos espasmdica y seca, con
gran dolor y sensibilidad de la laringe. Tambin constituye un sntoma una disnea de
carcter asmtico. Se experimenta ahogo y el enfermo siente como que no podr volver a
respirar y no puede permanecer acostado.
El poder del medicamento sobre las articulaciones se ejerce de una manera general sobre
las membranas sinoviales. Los homepatas lo encuentran de mayor utilidad cuando las
articulaciones estn tumefactas y con brillo, cuando los dolores son agudos y pungitivos, la
sensibilidad es bien marcada, el derrame considerable, cuando existe notable agitacin y
una agravacin por la aplicacin de calor.
La urticaria es una afeccin destacada de la piel que sugiere el uso de Apis. El prurito es
insufrible y la hinchazn, considerable. Esta afeccin se acompaa de dolores pungitivos y
quemantes y la piel es sensible al tacto.
Los pacientes que necesitan Aps son a menudo soolientos, pero duermen mal, pues el
dolor o los sueos ansiosos los despiertan. A menudo los nios se despiertan gritando
cuando padecen afecciones agudas que en otros aspectos sugieren el uso de este
medicamento. En el complejo sintomtico de Aps tambin se observa en cierta medida la
agravacin por el sueo que caracteriza con tanta fuerza a Lachesis y sus remedios conexos.
Por consiguiente, los rasgos generales del paciente de Apis son, en primer lugar, que el
calor en cualquier forma agrava todos los sntomas. Los pacientes se encuentran peor en
habitaciones cerradas y calientes; con la mayor parte de las afecciones se asocian dolores
pungitivos, que empeoran por el tacto y la presin, a excepcin de los dolores de cabeza,
que mejoran por la presin externa. Por lo general, todos los sntomas se agravan en la parte
final de la tarde, alrededor de las cinco, y hay una cierta agravacin despus de dormir. El
lado derecho del cuerpo es el ms afectado y la dolencia tiende a propagarse al lado
izquierdo. Existe siempre una mejora de los sntomas por el aire libre, estando destapado,
los baos fros y la aplicacin de agua fra.
La accin de este medicamento se desarrolla mucho ms lentamente que la de Aconitum o
Belladonna, de tal modo que se debe poner atencin, si parece indicado, en no abandonar
demasiado pronto su uso. El efecto de Aconitum en las afecciones agudas se advertir con
frecuencia en pocos minutos, pero Apis a menudo requiere una hora o ms. Todas las
potencias son apreciadas.

Apis mellifica (Hering)
Poison of the Honey Bee. Apium Virus.

Among all our drugs this is the one of which we have the most different preparations.
There is but one right kind.
It is the pure poison, which is obtained by grasping the bee with a small forceps, and
catching the minute drop of virus suspended from the point of the sting, in a vial or watch
crystal.
After collecting a sufficient quantity it may be potentized in alcohol, distilled water, or
prepared in oil or pure glycerine, for external use.
It is absurd to dispute the solubility of the poison in alcohol, and foolish to take the whole
bee with all the foreign matter and impurities, which color the tincture.
In 1835 a clergyman in Thuringia, the Rev.
Brauns, the publisher of the first popular homoeopathic paper, mentioned cures he had
made with the pure poison of the honey bee, which he called Apisin.
The same year he commenced a work, an attempt at treating homoeopathically domestic
animals : Part I, horses, 1835; Part II, cattle, 1836; and Part III, sheep, 1843.
A second edition of Part I was printed in 1837.
He reported numerous cures with Apis, particularly of most obstinate diseases of horses.
The great problem to be solved with regard to the snake poison (and of course also the
nosodes) was : can we use the symptoms from inoculation, as well as the symptoms
obtained by proving the alcoholic tinctures.
It was thought that the proving of the bee-poison would solve the problem.
In 1850 dried and powdered bees were introduced by E. E. Marcy, in his Theory and
Practice.
In January, 1852, we received a pamphlet containing real provings, by the New York
Central Hom.
Society, reprinted in the N. A. Quarterly, same year, p. 184-203, and Aug.
10, 1852. This was translated into German, and numerous provings with the pure poison
added; also all notices of effects of the sting that could be found, these being considered
most important.
The whole was printed in the form of a monography, in the Amerikanische
Arzneiprfungen (American Provings), Vol.
I, p. 171.422, and forms the most complete collection of the effects of any animal poison in
medical literature.
In 1858, Dr. C. W. Wolf published a book on bee-poison, declaring it a polychrest, but he
also used the tincture from the whole bee.
It happened at the time to correspond to the genius epidemicus in Berlin, but Wolf
recommended it in all intermittent fevers.
His little book was translated in the same year and printed in New York; the author,
however, was not allowed to add his notes, or he would have given the first provers in this
country credit for what they had done.
The greater number of confirmed symptoms were observed from the pure virus.

APOCYNUM CANNABINUM (Nash)
Intensa sed, pero el agua es mal tolerada y provoca dolor o es inmediatamente

vomitada. Sensacin de desfallecimiento en la boca del estmago. (Hidropesa.)
APOCYNUM CANNABINUM (Lathoud)
Apocynum Cannabium o Camo Indio es una planta de la familia de las Apocneas, propia
de la Amrica Septentrional. No debe confundirse con cannabis indica o camo de la
India, de donde se extrae el "haschis".
La tintura madre se obtiene de la raz fresca.

Acta violentamente sobre el organismo deprimiendo las fuerzas vitales, causando prdida de
fuerza muscular, relajamiento de esfnteres, etc. y dicha prdida de fuerzas es importante,
pues califica los sntomas cardacos, renales e intestinales (Farrington).
Bajo su influencia DISMINUYEN LAS SECRECIONES; "Orina escasa, piel seca, falta de
transpiracin sea cual fuere la enfermedad; el paciente siente que si pudiese transpirar
mejorara; bebe mucho, pero todo lo absorben sus tejidos, no elimina nada; orina poco,
casi nada; piel seca, tosca, no compensa por transpiracin la merma de orina; por eso el
tejido celular se infiltra y sobreviene la hidropesa" (Kent).
HIDROPESA EN LOS SACOS SEROSOS, CON GRAN SED, gran sntoma del remedio.
Derrame hidrpico en meninges, pericardio, pleura, peritoneo, con gran sufrimiento y
prolongado malestar; derrame hidrpico en sacos serosos articulares; esto recuerda
mucho a APIS, pero en este remedio no hay sed y el paciente est caliente, mientras que
en APOC. CANN. el enfermo tiene sed, y quiere estar abrigado pues tiene fro.
"APOCYN. tiene importancia en algunas enfermedades infecciosas como escarlatina y

tifoidea, especialmente cuando tienden a la cronicidad. El enfermo cae en gran
postracin, friolento, astnico, sediento, la orina escasea, piel seca y la convalecencia no
se hace bien; pierde fuerzas, sobreviene el estado hidrpico. Supongamos que una grave
tifoidea ha tenido al paciente 4 5 semanas en cama;el paciente est demacrado,
postrado, no recobra sus fuerzas, no engorda, no tiene apetito, y slo siente deseos de
beber agua. APOCYN. ser el remedio an cuando el caso recuerde mucho a APIS;
bastar recordar para distinguirlos que APIS es caluroso y quiere estar siempre
descubierto y pide cosas fras, lo cual no ocurre en APOCYN" (Kent).
"Hay en APOCYN. estados alternantes: HIDROPESA Y SECRECIN ABUNDANTE. La

hidropesa puede calmar mediante copiosas evacuaciones intestinales, o por una
actividad espasmdica renal tal que la orina se hace profusa. Luego todo cesa de golpe,
la orina escasea, los tejidos se infiltran de nuevo, y reaparece la hidropesa" (Kent).
Modalidades
A) Agravacin
POR EL FRO; paciente friolento, muy sensible al aire, las bebidas fras le hacen mal al
estmago, y le causan vmitos, las bebidas fras le hacen sentir malestares en todo el
cuerpo; todo sntoma es agravado destapndose y por aplicaciones fras.
ESTANDO ACOSTADO; debe estar sentado, incorporado.
Sntomas mentales
Puede haber algo de extravo espiritual; estupor, postracin, tristeza y abatimiento.
Cara
Expresin de angustia; cara hinchada, hinchazn sobre los ojos; deja la marca donde se
apoya el dedo (Kent).
Aparato digestivo
Boca y lengua secas, SED EXTREMA; SED ARDIENTE aunque EL AGUA LE CAE MAL.
El agua fra le produce dolor estomacal y vmitos antes de que pueda haberse calentado
en el estmago; el agua puede dar lugar a distensin, a un cierto malestar brusco que
termina por hacerle temer al agua fra, en cuyo caso bebidas calientes le reconfortarn, le
producirn calor, en fin le harn bien" (Kent).
Los pacientes de APOCYN. al llegar al estado de anasarca parecen tener todos sus tejidos
infiltrados de agua, y que todo el lquido ingerido se incrusta en sus clulas, las cuales,
sobre saturadas, no necesitan suero sanguneo. Los vasos sanguneos estn rebosantes de
sangre acuosa, los tejidos en general saturados, el estmago distendido, dilatado,
rechazando todo lo que recibe.
Vomita cuanto bebe; hay sensacin de presin epigstrica, pectoral; an cuando siente
hambre, el menor bocado le suscita una penosa impresin de distensin capaz de
entorpecer la respiracin misma. El estmago, repleto de agua, vomita agua, bilis y
cualquier alimento que haya recibido; finalmente el estmago se vuelve irritable, los
intestinos se paralizan, los riones se cierran. El vientre est notablemente distendido.
"APOCYN. se ha revelado como excelente remedio en estados diarreicos alternantes con
hidropesa; diarrea abundante, acuosa, amarilla, involuntaria y a menudo su aparicin
hace calmar los otros sntomas". (Kent).
Aparato urinario
Orina POCO; pese a tener la vejiga llena, el paciente no puede expeler la orina; retencin con
continua necesidad urgente de orinar; miccin dolorosa.
A veces la hidropesa mejora con secreciones abundantes de orina la que luego se vuelve
escasa y reaparece la hidropesa.
Orina turbia, caliente, con espeso sedimento mucoso, ardor en la uretra despus de orinar.
APOCYN. ha dado resultados excelentes en el mal de Bright en que la orina es escasa, hay
hidropesa, nuseas, vmitos, sopor y respiracin difcil.
rganos genitales
Ovarios y tero parecen no poder cumplir sus funciones y sobreviene amenorrea

acompaando al estado hidrpico. A veces los trastornos parecen comenzar con un
debilita miento de dichos rganos que parecen no poder realizar sus funciones; la mujer
se vuelve dbil y muy nerviosa, no tiene reglas, el vientre est dolorido; luego se
distiende el vientre y hay edema de miembros (Kent).
Otras veces hay gran tendencia hemorrgica, flujo menstrual muy abundante, de larga
duracin y se renueva a menudo.
APOCYN. es un buen remedio para la hidropesa que sigue a una hemorragia uterina grave.
Gran opresin, respiracin jadeante, difcil, sensacin de plenitud y distensin en el trax.
Insuficiencia tricuspidiana o mitral con arritmia. Latidos cardacos rpidos, dbiles, tensin
arterial muy baja, pulsaciones en las yugulares, cianosis e hidropesa generalizada.
Palpitaciones dolorosas, pulso irregular, pequeo, incontable.
Relaciones
APOCYN. est muy cerca de APIS, pero ste no es sediento y se calma por el fro, lo
contrario de APOCYN. ARS. ALB. es otro medicamento muy cercano a los anteriores,
especialmente a APOCYN. por su sed y por calmarse por el calor; pero tiene una
postracin y una ansiedad "mortal" que no tienen APIS ni APOCYN. Tiene adems un
olor cadavrico que se percibe al entrar en su habitacin, sntoma que no existe en los
otros remedios.
APOCYNUM CANNABINUM (Kent)
Este remedio es bueno para mostrarlo como antdoto de Apis. Lo encontrar anlogo en sus
sntomas y muy parecido en las molestias curadas por Apis. Se quedar pasmado al
aparecer la afeccin hidrpsica, dolencia reumtica, la tumefaccin de los tejidos
celulares, la escasez de orina; los edemas, y si furamos a comenzar con dos casos y
trabajar con ellos, en muchos casos no se podra distinguir entre Apis y Apocynum, tan
parecidas son sus hinchazones, sus salidas de sangre, sus distensiones, y sus trastornos.
Ambos son remedios para hidropesa; los rutinarios ensayarn primero con Apis, y luego
con Apocynum, y ms tarde con algo ms que sea bueno para la hidropesa.
Pero todo a travs de esta medicina se agrava con el fro, el paciente mismo se agrava con
la baja temperatura. Sus dolores son peores con aplicaciones fras. En su estado
hidrpsico, est resfriado, sensible al aire, a las bebidas fras. Tiene dolores en el
estmago, y an vmitos, debido a las bebidas heladas. Dolores en el abdomen debido
a las mismas. Malestar aqu y all en el cuerpo cuando hay cosas fras en el estmago;
ve enseguida cun diferente es a Apis. Cualquiera que est tratando de seguir los
sntomas y no distingue entre circunstancias relacionadas con el paciente y las
modalidades relacionadas a los sntomas no puede apreciar estas dos grandes
diferencias, donde un paciente se agrava por el calor y el otro es aliviado por el calor,
en todas sus molestias.
Todas las excreciones disminuyen. La orina es escasa. La piel es seca. No importa cuales
son sus molestias, el paciente no puede transpirar. Siente que si tan solo pudiera sudar
se sentira mejor. No hay salida de agua hacia afuera. Bebe mucho, y este lquido
penetra en los tejidos celulares para distenderlos, y se torna hidrpsico. Tiene una
constitucin de agua, en la que bebe agua y no sale nada hacia afuera. Emite poca agua,
y transpira escasamente o nada; su piel es seca, a veces caliente, an estando resfriado.
Los sufrimientos de Apis son terribles debido a la piel seca, debido a la escasez de
orina; Apis se agrava con el calor y se alivia con el fro. Esta es la gran caracterstica
que los distingue en las hidropesas y reumatismos y muchas afecciones internas.
"Hidropesa de las serosas". Hidropesa del cerebro, pericardio, pleura, peritoneo; todos
estos se distienden con el suero, y producen grandes sufrimientos y malestares. El
reumatismo inflamatorio puede parecerse al de Apis, cuando se produce hidropesa con
l. Inflamacin de las articulaciones, de la rodilla, de los dedos de los pies, y de las
manos, inflamacin de las articulaciones en todo el cuerpo. La hinchazn en la
articulacin deja hoyos cuando se la presiona como en Apis. Pero con escasa orina,
falta de transpiracin y estado febril, el paciente est todo el tiempo resfriado, y desea
estar bien tapado mientras que con Apis desea estar descubierto. Uno podra decir:
"Porque, eso es solamente un sntoma". Todo aqul que no percibe la diferencia entre
los sntomas enunciados por el paciente y los observados en los rganos lo ver como un
solo sntoma, y lo usar como tal. Aunque esa caracterstica domine a veces todo el
resto, porvenir del paciente y no solamente de las partes.
Poseemos muchos remedios con los cuales el paciente se alivia con calor. Desea estar
clido, y an as quiere que se le aplique fro en la zona o lugar. Debemos distinguir las
cosas que pertenecen al paciente mismo de las cosas que pertenecen al lugar o parte.
"Hidropesa con mucha sed".
Es una gran medicina para formas graves de enfermedad, tales como tifoidea y escarlatina,
y es til luego de afecciones prolongadas. Los pacientes quedan postrados, resfriados,
muy anmicos, tienen mucha sed, la orina se torna escasa, la piel seca. Sufre una mala
convalescencia; no se recobra. Se establece la hidropesa luego de escarlatina, de
tifoidea. Una enfermedad grave, como tifoidea, lo mantendr en cama durante cuatro o
cinco semanas, y permanece extenuado y postrado, y ahora no engorda, no tiene
apetito, pero bebe copiosamente; parecera que no quisiera nada ms que agua. Su piel
comienza a distenderse, se llena, y aparece hidropesa. Esto es como en Apis, y ste ser
indicado an cuando siempre tiene calor, y desea permanecer destapado, y desea cosas
fras.
Los sntomas mentales de este medicamento son poco conocidos. Solamente sabemos de
unos pocos sntomas clnicos de este remedio, y son de escasa importancia. Ha curado
aquel estupor peculiar al que pertenece la hidrocefalia, pero no sabemos a qu clase de
caso primario de enfermedad del cerebro se adeca, debido a la carencia de pruebas
finales. Conocemos solamente las dolencias posteriores a la que ha existido por un
largo tiempo, esto es, durante semanas; girando la cabeza y sacudindola, y el paciente
est extenuado. El pequeo tiene resfros y fiebre durante todo esto, y su crneo
comienza a distenderse, las fontanelas se ensanchan, entonces comenzamos a pensar en
aquellos remedios capaces de curar hidropesa en las cavidades cerradas, y ste es uno
de ellos. Conocemos el comienzo de Apis, pero no sobre este remedio. Las
comprobaciones de Hahnemann estn llenas de particularidades. El examin a sus
pacientes de acuerdo a sus modalidades, el momento que sus sntomas comenzaban, y
cuando terminaban. Muchos de los sntomas los sinti sobre si mismo, porque l
probaba muchos medicamentos. Hahnemann tuvo un temperamento sensible, y
profunda percepcin, y sus ensayos le dieron una visin interior de las medicinas que
no podra haber obtenido de otro modo. Aquellos que prueban medicinas
apropiadamente, conscientemente, prudentemente, aprenden mucho ms de Materia
Mdica que cualquier otra persona. Adquieren resistencia y por eso su vida es ms
prolongada. Son ms fuertes a su medio ambiente, a su atmsfera, a sus relaciones, y a
sus alrededores. Ellos estn mejor preparados, y pueden ser capaces de percibir algo de
lo que Hahnemann advirti. Pero hoy en da se han hecho comprobaciones y nada est
registrado excepto sntomas comunes, como ser, dolores de estmago, nusea, dolor de
cabeza, dolores en la espalda, pies fros. Muchos de nuestros remedios no han obtenido
mayores xitos debido a esto. Las sensaciones ms sutiles no son descritas, porque son
consideradas emocionales. "Espritu deprimido y aturdimiento. Siente que no puede
hacer nada ms que gritar". No conocemos las afecciones ni masculinas ni femeninas.
No conocemos los deseos o aversiones, mentales o fsicas; y aqu debe decirse que
constituye un resultado parcial y adecuado solamente para aquellas afecciones que se
muestran en la superficie.
"Hidrocefalia, con gran estupor". Esta constituye la ltima etapa donde hay gran postracin,
prdida de peso, rigidez de todos los miembros, con hinchazn, hidropesa. Muchas
veces en los dolores de hidrocefalia ataca tambin a todos los nervios y a las
articulaciones. Es entonces cuando remedios tales como Apis y Calc. carb. y ste actan
con maravillosa profundidad. La primera indicacin permanente y substancial que este
medicamento est actuando en un caso de hidrocefalia es que aumenta el flujo de orina,
el cual ha sido escaso todo el tiempo. Para hidrocefalia estudie Tuberculinum.
La expresin de la cara es de angustia. "Cara hinchada, con protuberancias. Hinchazn bajo

los ojos. Producindose hoyos cuando se hace presin. La lengua est seca, mucha
sed". Existe tambin otro remedio en esta esfera que ser mal interpretado muchas veces,
y que ser suministrado en la mayora de las instancias antes que este medicamento. Este
es Ars. Posee todas las condiciones hidropsicas de Apis y Apocynum. Posee todo el
fro y distensin del abdomen y de las cavidades cerradas. Este, tambin, es aliviado en
todos sus sntomas, y el paciente mismo se siente mejor, se requiere un calor intenso
para tal propsito. Desea permanecer en una habitacin muy calurosa, pero esto tiene
algo ms. Tiene una postracin y una ansiedad mortal, y una terrible impaciencia, no
encontrados en ninguno de estos medicamentos. Tiene tambin olor a cadver, que se
percibe al entrar en la habitacin, lo cual no es comn en estas medicinas. De esta
forma debemos tomar nuestros remedios y estudiarlos uno por vez, pero debemos
tambin compararlos. Las medicinas que son similares en los lineamientos generales
deben ser comparadas, como el calor y el fro. En esa forma tenemos una lista de
aquellas que se alivian por el fro, y de las que mejoran por el calor; y una tercera no
descrita no mejorada por ninguna. Este es el comienzo, y debemos dividir y
subdividirlas, y as los dems. "Mucosidad espesa, amarilla en la garganta. Mucha sed.
Rigidez en la regin torcica. Una sensacin de distensin". Pensar un momento y ver
que al llenar la cavidad pleural no causa mucha distensin externa, porque las costillas
lo resguardan. Forman una pared, y aqu el crecimiento o distensin es hacia los
pulmones, y contra el diafragma. Por esto aparece disnea, con tos. Esta medicina, como
Apis, debe permanecer; no puede decaer. Encontrar que es comn en hidrotrax en que
el paciente se siente impulsado a estar incorporado, porque si permanece recostado
aumenta la presin sobre los pulmones y disminuyen los espacios respiratorios. y
necesita incorporarse~ el saco pleural, cuelga hacia abajo, contra el diafragma, y esto
produce presin en el abdomen y distensin en los intestinos. "Sed al despertar y
durante todo el da, si bien no desea agua". Le gusta el agua fra, pero est en
desacuerdo con su estmago, causando dolor, o vmitos an antes de que se torne
caliente, o causando distensin, producindole incomodidad, as es que teme tomar
agua fra. Est ms confortable con bebidas calientes.
Entonces sobrevienen distensin y vmitos. Encontrar pacientes muy distendidos en todo su

tejido celular con una anasarca general que parecera que no pudiera tomar ms agua.
El paciente est lleno. Las venas estn ingurgitadas, su estmago distendido necesita
vomitar; y con esta distensin de todo su cuerpo bebe y vomita. Puede comer pero con
dificultad; no digerir . De esto proviene una parte de estos sntomas. "Sensacin de
presin en el epigastrio, en el pecho," as que resulta imposible conseguir suficiente
aliento para moverse. Muy poca comida lo hace sentir distendido. Se despierta y desea
algo en su estmago. Posee un hambre que corroe, pero, an un bocado, lo hace sentir
pleno. Su estmago vomita grandes cantidades de lquido, de bilis, y de indigestas
substancias que ya ha ingerido. El estmago finalmente, en una dolencia hidropsica, se
torna muy irritable. Parecera que nada pasa a travs de l. Finalmente se paralizan los
intestinos. Los riones no actan, y escasamente pasa algo de orina. La lengua se
inflama, y probablemente el estmago tambin.
Se produce otra fase. Parecera que uno a uno cada rgano cesa de realizar su trabajo. Los
ovarios y el tero fallan en realizar sus funciones, y viene la amenorrea con estado de
hidropesa. Muchas veces ello parece ser el comienzo de tales trastornos.
Una mujer cae en un estado de debilidad y excitacin, no hay flujo menstrual, sensibilidad
y distensin del abdomen, y entonces tambin de los miembros.
Apocynum ha constituido un remedio curativo en afecciones de diarrea alternadas con

hidropesa. A veces aparece diarrea y todos los otros trastornos desaparecen. La diarrea
es copiosa, amarilla, acuosa e involuntaria. Conoc una vez que se suministr grandes
dosis "en un caso de hidropesa, y esto estableci su diarrea peculiar, y mientras dur
desapareci la hipertrofia del bazo y la afeccin de hidropesa del cuerpo
aparentemente, para el doctor, de una manera natural. Fue llevado para mi observacin,
y dije, "Espere". Finalmente dej de ser envenenado por Apocynum, y sigui un ataque
al corazn. Un efecto similar se puede observar con el uso aloptico de Digitalis. La
hora se acerca cuando el doctor se ve compulsado a parar Digitalis, y el paciente muere
de un ataque al corazn; Digitalis no es acusada nunca de la muerte y el doctor parece
no aprender nunca que Digitalis matar .
Todas las funciones empeoran, en la piel, en los riones, en los intestinos, tero, tienden a la
hidropesa. Los trastornos urinarios son muy intensos. Escasez de orina acompaa a
muchos dolores entre los sntomas. Retencin de orina, miccin dolorosa, tratando de
pasar orina constantemente. La vejiga est a veces parcialmente llena, pero no puede
orinar. "Retencin con gran incitacin". "Parlisis de las extremidades".
Entumecimiento, picazn en las extremidades, y finalmente prdida total de fuerza.
Algunos pacientes se mantienen as por algn tiempo, y finalmente se establece
hidropesa. Tiene estados alternados, como he mencionado; hidropesa, alternada con
copiosas secreciones. La hidropesa puede ser aliviada por salida de agua de los
intestinos o por copiosas acciones espasmdicas de los riones, la orina es muy
profusa, tanto, que el paciente no sabe de donde proviene tal cantidad. Todo cesa de una
vez. La orina se torna escasa, y luego los tejidos se llenan de suero, y la enfermedad de
hidropesa progresa. Estas afecciones cesan luego de un tiempo, y sigue un ataque al
corazn. "La orina disminuye a un tercio de su verdadera cantidad, sin dolor en los
riones o vejiga. La orina se suprime. No hay orina en afecciones del cerebro". Alguna
vez fue una medicina de rutina, dada a los nios que mojaban la cama, y como ha
curado a muchos, debe tener esos sntomas, pero se es un sntoma clnico. No es una
sorpresa ver que su accin es muy marcada sobre la vejiga, que haya curado
involuntarios pasajes de orina. Hidropesia de los rganos genitales.
He mencionado la supresin del flujo menstrual, la amenorrea, pero tiene una marcada
tendencia a la hemorragia. Produce hemorragias, especialmente en el tero. El flujo
menstrual se torna copioso, muy frecuente, dura mucho tiempo; hasta que la paciente se
torna anmica debido a la hemorragia uterina; y luego le seguir hidropesia. Los
antiguos practicantes posean el hbito de suministrar China en la mayora de las
instancias en que hidropesia segua a una hemorragia. Era generalmente muy til, y
muy comnmente aliviaba, por lo que usaban raramente otro remedio. Pero Apocynum
es tambin un medicamento para hidropesa que sigue a una hemorragia. "Menorragia
prolongada, o hemorragias del tero durante seis semanas. La sangre es expelida en
grandes cogulos, a veces en un estado fluido". Flujo moderado durante uno o dos das;
de pronto aparece con tanta violencia que la paciente no puede permanecer fuera de la
cama. La impulsa a permanecer quieta. "Fragmentos, o pedazos de membrana con el
fluido de sangre. Menorragia continua, o paroxismal", esto es, un flujo continuo hasta
que la paciente queda agotada. Esto se parece a Phos. e Ipecac. y Secale. En muchas
ocasiones, una hemorragia uterina cesar luego de haberse perdido mucha sangre. En
medicinas donde el flujo es muy lquido como sucede en sta, la tendencia a cesar no
aparece hasta que no se produce un estado de profundo agotamiento. Luego la disnea,
como ha sido descrita, no permite que el paciente quede en cama. Esto es comn
debido a hidrotrax. Posee tambin una congestin hiposttica de los pulmones en
pacientes que han permanecido sentados durante largo tiempo, se llenan desde abajo, se
acercan gradualmente as que una gran parte del espacio de respiracin es destruido.
"Gran opresin alrededor del epigastrio. Dificultad para respirar. Abre la boca, jadea y
tose. Posee todos los ruidos que aparecen en Tartar emetic, y tiene una plenitud similar
de pecho, no puede acostarse .
Pulso dbil e irregular; filiforme. Desfallece siempre que intenta levantar su cabeza de la
almohada. Pulso lento y dbil. Hidropesa del pericardio. Palpitaciones muy molestas.
APOCYNACEA (Farrington)
Plinio deca que Apocynum era fatal para los perros y de esta circunstancia se deriv su
nombre. Tiene una fibra resistente, como el camo y se ha usado para hacer cordeles.
Apocynum cannabinum tiene un efecto muy marcado aumentando la secrecin urinaria.

No es suficiente, sin embargo, por el momento, estudiar este medicamento simplemente
como un diurtico, porque tiene una accin tan marcada sobre las fuerzas vitales, que exige
un estudio extenso. Deprime grandemente las energas vitales, como lo demuestra la
relajacin de los esfnteres, la prdida de las fuerzas musculares, etc. Esta prdida de
fuerzas es un importante sntoma general, puesto que califica, como lo veremos ms
adelante, los sntomas cardiacos, renales e intestinales.
En estos ltimos aos se ha empleado Apocynum muy ampliamente en el tratamiento de

muchas formas de hidropesa. Cuando d un resumen fiel de sus sntomas, se ver que su
uso impreciso en los estados hidrpicos, de ninguna manera debe considerarse como
estrictamente homeoptico. Cuando no est precisamente indicado por sus sntomas, es
necesario emplear fuertes dosis, con el fin de producir algn efecto. Scoparius (retama) y
tambin las vainas de algunas leguminosas, producen aumento en la actividad funcional de
los riones y de este modo ayudan a la eliminacin del derrame hidrpico. Pero tenemos
que conformar nuestros actos a un arte, que no admite tales prescripciones.
Esta se propone la individualizacin y no la generalizacin. Investiga la seleccin del

Similimum y no de paliativo temporal.
Cuando est indicado Apocynum, es necesario que los sntomas siguientes estn
presentes : aturdimiento y pesantez de la cabeza; somnolencia y debilidad o sueo
perturbado e inquieto. Las funciones son lentas, el pulso tambin lento y los intestinos estn
constipados, aunque las materias fecales sean semiduras; los riones estn trpidos, o bien
la orina es copiosa y la miccin casi involuntaria debido al relajamiento de los esfnteres. Al
despertar, la nariz y la garganta estn llenas de un moco espeso y amarillento. El paciente
experimenta una sensacin de opresin en el epigastrio y pecho. Difcilmente puede tomar
respiracin para hablar aun despus de las ms ligeras comidas ordinarias; tiene necesidad
frecuentemente de hacer inspiraciones profundas. Hay batimientos desordenados del
corazn y sensacin de cansancio en la regin precordial. El pulso es irregular, intermitente
y por momentos dbil o lento, laborioso y de vez en cuando se pierde un latido. Lo anterior
constituye el grupo de sntomas caractersticos de la hidropesa cardiaca e indica la afinidad
que el medicamento tiene por el corazn. Frecuentemente ser un buen paliativo en la
degeneracin grasosa del mismo con hidropesa, en los ancianos.
En esto puede ser comparado con varios remedios: primero Arsenicum; ste tiene la
misma sed y la misma sensacin de hundimiento en el epigastrio, como la tiene Apocynum,
nada ms que est indicado en los casos ms avanzados y el enfermo presenta siempre ms
irritabilidad de sus tejidos.
Ya he hablado de la distincin entre Apis, Aceticum ac., y Apocynum en la conferencia
que sustent acerca de Apis.
Helleborus y Digitalis son semejantes a Apocynum, produciendo entorpecimiento,

pulso lento, etc., pero creo que Apocynum debe preferirse a Digitalis, ya que la accin de
ste es inconstante.
Apocynum tiene tambin alguna accin sobre las articulaciones, produciendo un estado
reumtico; las articulaciones se sienten rgidas por la maana, al efectuar cualquier
movimiento.
Se recordar que he mencionado a Apocynum como un medicamento til en la

hidrocefalia; la cabeza est agrandada; los huesos frontales estn combados; las fontanelas
muy abiertas; hay extrabismo y en casos extremados el paciente no ve; un lado est
paralizado. El caso es muy parecido al den Apis, pero carece del grito ceflico; est
indicado en los estados ms avazados que Apis. Uno o dos casos han sido curados por el
continuo uso del medicamento.
Hay una diarrea que puede exigir el uso de Apocynum; las evacuaciones son copiosas,
amarillentas o tirando a caf; acuosas y algunas veces contienen alimentos no digeridos;
son arrojadas con una fuerza explosiva, como un tapn de botella. El esfnter del ano est
dbil y las evacuaciones escapan involuntariamente cuando el paciente expulsa los gases.
Despus de la evacuacin se siente debilitado; tiene una sensacin general de vaco en el
abdomen; la cara est plida y cubierta de un sudor fro.
Aloe tiene un efecto parecido en el debilitamiento del esfnter del ano y en la gran
postracin despus de defecar; pero las evacuaciones de este medicamento contienen un
moco gelatinoso, generalmente se empeoran por la maana; hay clico que se mejora por
encorvarse.
Gambogia tiene la evacuacin precedida de un dolor excesivo y cortante en el ombligo;

la evacuacin es expulsada "de un solo golpe", despus de un deseo urgente considerable,
siguindose una sensacin de gran mejora.
Apocynum est indicado tambin en las hemorrodies que van asociadas a una sensacin
de como si un ngulo saliente fuera introducido en el ano.

Caractersticas.- Los efectos clnicos de Strophanthus y los sntomas producidos en los

pacientes a quienes se les dio en grandes dosis, muestran claramente la relacin entre l
y Apocynum. Ambos producen trastornos gstricos intensos, extrema depresin de la
accin del corazn, y ambos controlan los edemas y producen diuresis. Apo. c. deprime
el corazn, riones e intestinos, relaja esfnteres. Causa una intensa sensacin de
hundimiento; somnolencia y aturdimiento del estado de la mente. Mareo. Hemorragias.
Los edemas de Apocynum son edemas generales con o sin enfermedades orgnicas;
hinchazn de cada lugar del cuerpo; edema cardaco. Las excreciones son disminuidas,
especialmente la orina y el sudor. Se ha curado hidrocfalo con l: "Nio acostado con
estupor, con movimiento involuntario constante de un brazo y una pierna." Parlisis del
lado izquierdo; un ojo se mueve menos, uno rueda de un lado a otro. Tres casos de
neuralgia del lado derecho ingle, cadera y un caso de la regin del rin derecho han
sido curados con ste medicamento todos fueron violentos, arrancaban gritos. En un
caso el dolor apareci muy sbitamente y la menor sacudida lo agravaba. Hale dice que
los riones son el asiento peculiar de la accin del medicamento, y que es curativo
especialmente en edemas renales. Ha curado diabetes inspida con "una sensacin de
hundimiento en la boca del estmago con gran debilidad." Hemorragias, especialmente
menorragia y hemorragias en el cambio de vida, se han curado con l. Hale encontr
que restaura las reglas cuando se da en casos de edemas. Diarrea est < inmediatamente

Apocynum cannabinum (Hering)
Indian Hemp. Apocynaceae.

In the summer of 1833, during a walk in the suburbs of New York, attention was called to
this plant as being one of the most promising, by Dr. John F. Gray.
In Allentown it was proved, especially by Dr. Freitag; in 1856 another attempt by John C.
Peters, with large doses of the tincture.
Afterwards, at the suggestion of Dr. Gray, it was given for dropsies.
Dr. Marcy proved the 3d.

Case i
- * Injection of three milligrammes of Apomorphine; no result.
- October 26, 9.20 A. M. M. Lachize injected into the outer portion of my left arm three

- November 6. M. Lachize made another injection of six milligrammes subsequent
observations as carefully as before.
- 9.40 A. M. Pulse 76, thermometer 36.9, respiration 15.
- 9.43. Pulse 80, thermometer 36.9 ), respiration 15.

- 9.55. Vomiting ceased; still some nausea; continued irregularity of pulse and respiration;
pulse 94, thermometer 36.7 ), respiration 18.
- 10 o'clock, quite; drowsiness; pulse 76, thermometer 36.7 , respiration 12; quiet sleep
for one hour; on awaking, pulse 68, thermometer 36.8 ), respiration 8; ate my next meal
without any uneasiness.
- Next day, and several times afterward, I took a subcutaneous injection of one
centigramme Apomorphine; it caused no pain, and no local symptoms; the resulting
phenomena were the same as before, only after injecting ten or twelve milligrammes the
vomiting came on in four or five minutes; it was more violent.
Case iii
- Encouraged by the experiments upon animals, I took an injection Dec. 10, 1873, of three
centigrammes Apomorphine, in presence of Drs. Zuber and Grandjax, on the outer portion
of the right arm, the left arm being bandaged.
- 2.20 P.M. Pulse 66, thermometer 36.8 ), respiration 14.
- 2.22. Pulse 104, thermometer 36.8 , respiration 19; vomiting, without previous nausea,
took place two minutes after the injection; sudden sensation of heat running all over the
body, and lasting about a minute, followed by vomiting; this vomiting lasted three minutes;
during this time, pulse 100 to 102, thermometer 36.8 ), respiration 20 to 24.
- 2.26. Extreme fatigue; tried to get up, but could not; pulse 84, thermometer 36.8 ),
respiration 16.
- 2.27. No change; pulse 78, thermometer 36.8 ), respiration 15.
- 2.28. Nausea; pulse 96, thermometer 36.8 ), respiration 18.

- 2.32. Quiet; drowsiness; pulse 98, thermometer 37 ), respiration 17.
- 2.33. Pulse 98, thermometer 37 ), respiration 17; so much fatigued that the eyes closed
involuntarily.
- 2.36. Nausea; pulse 104, thermometer 37 ), respiration 16.
- 2.38. Less copious vomiting than before; invincible need of repose.
- 2.40. Slept in a chair.
- 4 o'clock. Ached with fatigue; no other bad feeling; no headache; pulse 80, thermometer
37 ), respiration 15; at dinner, less appetite than usual. The symptoms observed in these
cases resemble those which follow the use of all emetics in nauseating doses; there was an
unpleasant feeling at the praecordia; congestion of the face and headache; then the
conjunctiva became injected; there was copious salivation, and after a certain interval a
sense of considerable fatigue. After emetics the symptoms were the same, but more intense.
The stage of nausea, in my own case, was always very brief, yet recognizable. The others,
to whom the drug was administered, had, in general, the same symptoms. Dr. Zuber, aide-
major at Val-de-Grace, after two subcutaneous injections, felt each time an intense
headache; he was dizzy, and his limbs much fatigued. The feeling of weakness was very
well marked in one of our friends, an exceedingly robust individual, aged 30; a copious
sweat covered his face, which was pale instead of florid as usual; after each of several trials
he had a violent attack of dyspnoea, perhaps due to a long-established organic affection of
the heart. Complete recovery generally took place in an hour or two after the injection;
usually, also, the vomiting was succeeded by invincible drowsiness.
Case iv
- * Injection of one centigramme Apomorphine. Vomiting in ten minutes.
- Man, 72 years old, entered the Rothschild Hospital December 24; he had long labored
under chronic bronchial catarrh, with pulmonary emphysema; at present there is
considerable dyspnoea and difficult expectoration; the patient is obliged to sleep sitting up.
The Apomorphine was prescribed with the view of affording relief by removing the violent
contractions of the diaphragm and thoracic walls, and promoting discharge from the lungs;
at 11 o'clock he received an injection of one centigramme Chlorohydrate of Apomorphine
into the arm at its dorsal aspect. Solution fresh, limpid, colorless; pulse 80, respiration 28;
(the temperature was not taken, our previous observations having convinced us of the
uselessness of doing so).
- 11.5. Pulse 92, respiration 28; patient made no complaint; yawning.
- 11.10. Pulse 108, rather irregular; respiration 32; the patient, without previous nausea,
was attacked by vomiting, which lasted about two minutes; it consisted of mucus, and was
quite scanty; no facial congestion; no sweat.
- 11.13. Pulse 70, respiration 24.
- 11.15. Pulse 88, respiration 24; renewed but ineffectual efforts to vomit.
- 11.20. Pulse 76, respiration 20; the patient complained of great fatigue; he breathed more
easily, and said he felt quite sleepy; in a few minutes he sank back on his pillow and went to
sleep; while asleep, 11.45, pulse 76, regular; respiration 18 to 20.
- 1 o'clock. The patient is awake, pulse and respiration the same. Having so far confirmed
the beneficial effects of the medicine, we intended to administer it again next day,
increasing the dose to fifteen milligrammes, but the patient seemed so much depressed that
we thought it best not to risk the experiment; the injection caused no pain, and no
subsequent irritation.
Case v
- * Injection of one centigramme Apomorphine; vomiting in six minutes.
- Young man, aged 24, under treatment for a febrile, gastric difficulty, which had lasted
three days; robust constitution; general health excellent; tongue thickly coated; headache;
no diarrhoea; no gurgling, or abdominal tenderness.
- 10.20 A. M. One centigramme Apomorphine injected into left arm; same solution as in
preceding case; pulse 92, respiration 14, morning temperature 38.2 ).
- 10.22 Pulse 108, respiration 15.
- 10.25. Pulse 120, small, regular; respiration 15; nausea; face congested and moist;
hiccough.
- 10.26. Pulse 120, respiration 20; copious, slimy vomiting now set in and lasted one and a
half minutes.
- 10.28. Pulse 88, respiration 15; the patient was quiet for three or four minutes; he
complained of weakness; then nausea returned; the hiccough ceased.
- 10.32. Pulse 104, respiration 22; renewed vomiting, almost as copious as at first, but
more painful; it lasted two or three minutes.
- 10.38. A third vomiting; scanty; patient's face covered with sweat; much prostrated, and
complains of great fatigue; after this he lies quiet, and soon falls asleep.
- 10.40. Pulse 84, strong and regular; respiration 10.
- 1 o'clock. Patient awake; no further effects from the medicine; says he feels much
relieved; his headache, he asserts, has quite ceased; pulse 96, thermometer 38.6 ),
respiration 14. No local symptom. Next morning, patient much the same; fever less;
scarcely any headache; tongue still coated; some diarrhoeic stools in the evening are rather
attributable to his complaint than to the Apomorphine.
Case vi
- * Woman with gastric trouble. 1st. Dose of fifteen milligrammes given by the mouth; no
effect. 2d. Administration of two centigrammes; vomiting in eight minutes.
- Woman, aged 23 years; has a child three years old; sound constitution; usual health good;
a patient since the day before we saw her at 9 A. M.; the tongue is thickly coated, and
shows the marks of the teeth; intense headache; blue circles around eyes; skin hot and
moist; constipation for three days; pulse 100, thermometer 38.6 ), respiration 16.
- At 9.30 we gave her fifteen milligrammes of Chlorohydrate of Apomorphine in thirty
grammes of water (an extemporaneous preparation).
- 9.35. Pulse 108, respiration 16.
- 9.40. Pulse 116, respiration 16; some nausea.
- 9.45. No change.
- 9.50. Pulse 108, respiration 14 to 16; nausea ceased.
- 10 o'clock. Pulse 100, respiration 14. From this time patient felt as before; no inclination
to vomit. The medicine seemed without effect.
- Next day, no change; fever quite considerable; evening temperature 39.2 ), morning
temperature 38.4 ); no stool; tongue coated; inclination to vomit.
- 9 A. M. Pulse 96, respiration 14; twenty milligrammes Apomorphine taken by the mouth;
same preparation as yesterday.
- 9.5. Pulse 112, respiration 16; nausea.
- 9.8. Pulse 120, respiration 22; copious bilious vomiting.
- 9.10. Pulse 92, quiet; respiration 20.
- 9.15. Renewed vomiting, less copious than at first.
- 9.20. Pulse 92, quiet; respiration 16.
- 9.30. Quite quiet, but no sleep; patient feels relieved; headache, which before the first
vomiting was most intense, has now almost entirely ceased.
- 11 o'clock. Pulse 92, thermometer 38.6 ), respiration 14; no movement of the bowels
during the day; at night one very difficult stool.
- Next morning, although the tongue was less coated and the headache better, a saline
purgative was prescribed. Perhaps we should have obtained better results from a dose of
three centigrammes Apomorphine.
Case vii
- (Communicated by Dr. Zuber.)
- * Haemoptysis from tubercle. Injection of three centigrammes Apomorphine; copious
committing in four minutes.
- Leon S., second-class trooper in the second regiment of artillery, 23 years old, of mean
appearance, was attacked, on the 22d December last, with a troublesome haemoptysis.
When I saw him it had lasted four hours; the blood raised was bright red, frothy, almost
pure, and quite abundant (four hundred or five hundred grammes); cold fomentations had
been applied to his chest, and he had taken two tablespoonfuls of salt; pulse frequent, 104.
It was necessary to arrest the bleeding as soon as possible. I thought of resorting to the use
of emetics, so highly recommended in such cases, and I selected Apomorphine, whose
properties as a speedy emetic made it particularly applicable.
- At 5 P.M. I injected under the skin quite a large dose of Apomorphine, three
centigrammes of slightly altered solution (colored light-green); the patient went on
coughing, and at each paroxysm he brought up blood having the same appearance as before.
- 5.4. Abundant vomiting of food, without previous nausea; this lasted about two minutes;
then came a period of quiet, when the cough no longer racked the patient; in half an hour
the vomiting ceased; the patient was extremely feeble, but the means employed appeared to
have done good service; he coughed only at long intervals, and the expectorated blood
became less and less.
- Next day, there was hardly a trace of blood in the sputa; haemoptysis was probably owing
to a tuberculous induration at the apex of the right lung; no local effect.
Case viii
- (Communicated by Dr. Zuber.) Angina tonsillaris. Injection of two centigrammes
Apomorphine; vomiting in three or four minutes.
- M.T. , sculptor; sick for three or four days with acute tonsillitis; he was very subject to
angina. At Rome, where he was an art student, he had several attacks, one of which, of a
phlegmonous nature, caused him much suffering. Moreover, during a residence in the
Campagna, he contracted an obstinate intermittent, which still lingered, and imparted to the
fever accompanying his angina a decidedly remittent type; the tonsils are entirely swollen,
they greatly impede respiration, and deglutition is almost impossible. I made two free
incisions into each tonsil, with a view of depleting them; and, at last, to aid this effect, I
thought of administering Apomorphine, since it was exceedingly, difficult of the patient to
get down a dose of emetic. I injected, accordingly, two centigrammes of a recent solution;
nausea came on in three minutes, followed by vomiting, which the condition of the pharynx
rendered very difficult and painful. The vomitings, which were quite frequent, ceased in
half an hour. As I anticipated, the muscular contractions strongly favored the escape of
blood from the engorged tonsils, through the previous scarifications, and the patient soon
felt comparatively easy I prescribed emollient gargles, and a draught containing seventy-
five centigrammes of quinine.
- Next day, there was considerable improvement; fever less intense; the tonsils though still
much enlarged, now allowed air and warm drinks to pass easily.M. T. considered himself
cured, and could not sufficiently praise the new emetic. "At Rome, " he said, "they vomited
me a great deal, for they used to precede quinine by an emetic, but the effect was never so
speedy. Here the business is over before ordinary emetics would begin to operate."

AUTHORITY.
S.A. Jones, M.D. , Hales's New Remedies, third edition, p. 471. At 3 P.M. , I took 10 drops
of the mother tincture in 2 ounces of water.
On retiring at 12 P.M. , felt as well as I ever did. Had no sooner laid down than I was
seized with a fit of asthma. I had laid upon my back when the following symptoms had
supervened : Dry wheezing respiration, sense of impending suffocation, and rapidly
increasing dyspnoea. Very loud musical whistlings during both inspiration and expiration,
but louder during inspiration. The attack soon reached its acme, and phlegm began to come
up. It was scanty, but each expectoration was attended with a sensation that more would
soon follow. My wife now observed that my wheezing was so labored as to make the whole
bed vibrate. Could not possibly lie down ; felt that I would suffocate if I did not sit up.
Phlegm began to come freer and more abundantly ; had a markedly salty taste, and felt
quite warm in the mouth. Right lung appeared to be more oppressed than the left.
- When the worst of the attack was over I lay on my right side, and then it seemed as if all
the oppression and discomfort was in the right lung. Shortly after I turned over, and soon it
felt as if my left lung was affected, While the right was entirely relieved.
- It took a long time for me to "come to". Had a constant desire to clear the chest of
something, so that I could inspire better.
- * All the obstruction seemed to be in inspiration.
- On making a forcible expiration, in the attempt to clear the chest, had a raw, burning, sore
feeling behind the whole length of the sternum, and in each lung, most intense behind the
sternum. Slept well all night. After rising in the morning, raised some loose phlegm easily.
- I am inclined to asthma, and at first though this one of its attacks ; but as the phenomena
were evolved, the programme was so different that my drink of Aralia flashed into memory.
- On the night of the 28th, I was literally drenched with perspiration while asleep. Was
wakened by a patient, when it passed off and did not recur.
- 29th. I have been annoyed all day by a dread that my right lung is seriously diseased.
Could not shake off the fear. Cough now and then, raising a little phlegm, which is
involuntarily swallowed. Took 10 drops of the tincture at 1.30 A. M. No symptoms that
night. On rising at 8.30, bowels felt as they have done after a large-sized "spree". Faintly
defined nausea in throat and stomach, and sensation in intestines as if diarrhoea would set
in. At 3.15 P.M. , went to closet, expecting from my feelings a loose stool. Evacuation was
soft, yellow, about a teaspoonful in quantity, and expelled with great difficulty. Mucous
membrane of rectum came down like a tumor (Have had haemorrhoids). After stools, and
while sitting on the "throne", an aching pain in the rectum, extending upward, and on the
left side.

deberemos seleccionar nuestro agente curativo. Por ejemplo: Aranea, Natrum sulphuricum,
Dulcamara, Nux moschata, Rhus toxicodendron y Rhododendron, tienen todos ellos
agravaciones por el tiempo hmedo y es probable que hallemos nuestro remedio dentro de
ese grupo si el paciente se agrava en forma caracterstica por el tiempo hmedo.
ARANEA DIADEMA (Farrington)
La Aranea fu propuesta por Grauvogl, como uno de los medicamentos para lo que l llama
"constitucin hidrogenoidea" es decir, un estado en el que no se puede tolerar la
humedad. Bajo la accin de esta substancia todos los sntomas se agravan durante el
tiempo hmedo o por habitar en regiones hmedas. Especialmente es eficaz en lo que
podemos llamar fiebre intermitente crnica, para que la Aranea es el remedio eficaz
cuando los sntomas se agravan durante los das hmedos. El paciente puede sentirse
muy bien en los das calurosos, pero tan pronto como se pone el tiempo hmedo, se
agrava. Durante esta agravacin, se queja de frialdad, como si tuviera helados los
huesos; dolores esteocopos seguidos de poca o ninguna elevacin de temperatura. El
escalofro tiende a ser tpico, presentndose a la misma hora cada tercer da, cada
semana o por perodos regulares. Tambin se encontrar que el bazo est aumentando
de volumen y que el paciente es propenso a las hemorragias, ya sea que previamente se
haya tratado o no con quinina.
China y Chininum sulphuric., son muy semejantes a Aranea diadema en la repeticin

peridica de los sntomas y ambos estn indicados en la esplegnomegalia y fiebres
intermitentes, adquiridas por habitar en lugares hmedos.
Cedron, del que se asegura que alivia la mordedura de la serpiente de cascabel y modifica la
hidrofobia, es reputado como un anlogo de Aranea diadema, generalmente y del
veneno de las araas en general.
Se dice que obra mejor sobre las personas nerviosas, excitables y aun sobre los pacientes
voluptuosos, especialmente del sexo femenino. Los sntomas febriles y neurlgcos se
repiten con regularidad cronomtrica.
Se usa en las fiebres intermitentes contradas en los pases clidos o en los lugares bajos y
pantanosos; en lo que respecta a este ltimo detalle, tiene similitud con Aranea
diadema.
Pero Cedron se ha encontrado ms eficaz en los climas clidos, mientras que Aranea
diadema obra mejor en los fiebres intermitentes adquiridas en los lugares fros y
hmedos. El escalofro predomina y la fiebre es ligera o falta del todo. En cedron al
contrario, hay congestin ceflica y fugaz en la cara, alternando con frialdad, con pulso
lleno y frecuente.
Esta demostrado que Aranea diadema no desarrolla la extremada excitacin que los otros
tres venenos antes mencionados; sin embargo, es evidente que afectan el sistema
nervioso. Hay connfusin mental y cefalalgia despus de comer, mejorandose por
fumar; el dolor de cabeza mejora al aire libre. Durante la noche, hay repentinos y
violentos dolores de ambos maxilares, inmediatamente despues de acostarse; sueo
intranquilo en el que el enfermo despierta frecuentemente; tiene un sntoma que es
comn a todos los medicamentos que afectan los nervios cerebroespinales y que
consiste en una sensacin, de como si alguna parte del cuerpo estuviese crecida; por
ejemplo : cuando despierta siente los brazos y las manos sumamente grandes, mucho
ms grandes de lo que son normalmente.
Aranea diadema es til en las odontalgias que se agravan particularmente por el tiempo
hmedo y tambin tan pronto como el paciente se acuesta, recordndonos esto a
Mercurius.
Hay un sntoma de Aranea, que yo no he tenido oportunidad de observar en la prctica y es

el adormecimiento en el trayecto del nervio cubital.
Aranea diadema ataca tambin al sistema seo y est indicada especialmente para las
enfermedades del calcneo, cuando el enfermo se queja de un violento dolor en este
hueso, pudiendo esto ser debido a una simple periostitis o estar asociado a una caries
del mismo hueso. Algunas veces hay la sensacin de como si el hueso estuviera en el
hielo, lo que es puramente subjectivo.

Used as a remedy by Wm. Gross as early as 1833, and mentioned in the older
homoeopathic works, but not proved until later by Grauvogl, see his Text Book, 2d edition,
1866, and Allen's Encyclopedia, vol.
4. The symptoms are mainly based on clinical experience.
The tincture is prepared by maceration of the insect in alcohol.

ARGENTUM METALLICUM (Kent)
Consideraremos el estudio de la plata Metlica. No es asombroso que ste sea un remedio

de accin muy profunda, y por ello ha sido usado simblicamente, y como medicina a
travs de toda la historia. Es un antipsrico, y por sus sntomas creo que es un
antipsictico. Penetra profundamente dentro de la vida. Especialmente afecta a la vaina
de los nervios, y a los nervios.
Todos los cartlagos en el cuerpo son afectados por el. Produce una hipertrofia, un
espesamiento de las porciones cartilaginosas de las articulaciones, de las orejas, y de
los de la nariz. Produce tumores e infiltraciones cartilaginosas. Afecta la sustancia
nerviosa, es un remedio orgnico profundo. Es ms que un medicamento comn porque
afecta todo lo que es del hombre. En especial aquellas fibras nerviosas transmisoras de
sensaciones. Afecta al cerebro profundamente, produciendo cambios y un gradual
ablandamiento. Una de sus extraas caractersticas en su accin general sobre el
hombre, es que se singulariza sobre las facultades intelectuales, pero poco perturba sus
afecciones; solamente produce desatencin y cambios ligeros en su sistema voluntario.
Pero la memoria y la parte intelectual se trastorna crecientemente hasta la imbecilidad.
Perturba su habilidad para pensar y su memoria, y aparece en personas que tienen el
hbito de trabajar con sus facultades intelectuales. Hombres de negocios, estudiantes,
lectores, y pensadores, llegan a un punto en que no pueden razonar ms, y el esfuerzo
por el trabajo mental les produce vrtigo. Est fatigado. Todos los sntomas empeoran
luego del sueo. En vez de estar descansado para el da, se despierta por la maana con
fatiga mental y debilidad, as es que apenas puede llevar a cabo un esfuerzo mental o
fsico al da siguiente. Si intenta realizar algn otro trabajo mental, le trae dolor de
cabeza, en la frente o en el occipucio.
Otra extraa caracterstica, es que se producen dolores que provocan lgrimas a lo largo de
los nervios, especialmente en las extremidades inferiores, como si los nervios se
rompieran en pedazos durante el descanso. El fro, clima hmedo, tiempo tormentoso
traer reumatismo no con mucha hinchazn, aunque la tiene, pero dolores en los
cartlagos, y a lo largo de los nervios. Y estos dolores son tan intensos que no se pueden
soportar. Aqu tiene un estado reumtico producido por el fro, clima hmedo, por
haberse resfriado, en las articulaciones y en los nervios, as que camina y camina.
Muchos sntomas mejoran por el movimiento y por caminar. Estos dolores muchas
veces se alivian bebiendo caf? Lo cual suprimir la enfermedad pero le traer
dificultades, ya que est amenazado de decaer y con el tiempo se torna casi intil.
"Debilidad mental. Postracin fsica". Desgarramientos, dolores que llegan a las lgrimas.
Afecciones de los cartlagos de las articulaciones. Dolores en los huesos que provocan
llanto.
Cartlagos inflamados e infiltrados que forman ndulos. Alrededor de las articulaciones los
cartlagos se espesan, lo mismo en la oreja y la nariz. Para la infiltracin que pertenece
a epitelioma y a escirro ha constituido un maravilloso paliativo y tambin de
sorprendente curacin de epitelioma del cuello del tero.
Ulceraciones en todas partes; pero lceras que tienen sus comienzos en los tejidos
cartilaginosos, y aparecen a travs del tejido celular, y secreciones copiosas. Las lceras
se infiltran en su base, y se endurecen.
Otra caracterstica notable es que afecta a los dos testculos, pero tiene su accin
predominante sobre el derecho. El ovario izquierdo y el testculo derecho. Tales cosas
son peculiares, ya que en un sexo produce sntomas en un lado del cuerpo y en el otro
en el lado opuesto.
Ha curado toda clase de tumores, hipertrofia del ovario, e infiltraciones en los tejidos. Este
es un remedio fro. Desea que se lo mantenga caliente, y sus dolores son aliviados por
el calor. Sus cefaleas se mejoran con calor, con presin, o con vendaje. He curado
muchas veces estos sntomas de cefaleas cuando el paciente tuvo la cabeza vendada.
Ahora, en este medicamento incluimos al paciente como carente de calor vital. Desea estar
abrigado. Probablemente es delgado, aumentando su nerviosismo, su sensibilidad, es
caprichoso. Las mujeres que necesitan Plata muy a menudo tienen actitudes extraas e
inexplicables en (comparar con Argentum nitricum) sus estados nerviosos que pierden
toda la simpata de sus amigos, y son llamadas histricas. Trastornos nerviosos,
profundos aumentan la sensibilidad por lo que los rodea.
Ahora, el estado mental de Argentum met. es justo como si se despertara confuso, por las
emociones, como si perdiera el equilibrio por temor, por ira, por susto, debido a
trastornos de la mente. Porque este paciente es muy sensible a todo lo que lo rodea y
muy perturbado por sus molestias. Con sus dolores se torna delirante, y no es el delirio
involuntario que observamos en los casos de fiebres graves, pero se hace salvaje y lleno
de clera. Se produce excitacin mental, clera y un estado en el cual habla disparates
atropelladamente. Por un momento parece estar muy intenso y activo de mente, y
olvida todo lo que estaba hablando.
"En sociedad indisposicin para hablar". Est mentalmente cansado y se olvida de lo que
est diciendo. Pierde el hilo de su discurso; y teme hablar porque tiene dolores mientras
lo hace. Si se ve obligado a contestar, se aturde, y se siente extrao, y tiene
estremecimientos nerviosos. Y los shocks le aparecen cuando est cansado y se dispone
a ir a dormir. El piensa ahora estar fuera de todos los problemas del da y poder
descansar, y se duerme enseguida pero se despierta varias veces durante la noche con
estremecimientos desde la cabeza hasta los pies. Sus miembros se sacuden, sus
miembros inferiores se crispan y sacuden, entonces camina y trata de irse. Esto aparece
en las pruebas como consecuencia de Argentum nitricum, pero pertenece mucho a
Argentum met., y este medicamento ha curado todo esto. En los estudios de
Hahnemann sobre el remedio estableci la importancia del shock al ir a dormir, en los
miembros. Pero es como una descarga elctrica que hace sacudir a todo el cuerpo.
"Ansiedad acerca de su salud. Piensa que ciertamente se est agravando" por lo que
aumenta su debilidad. No puede ejercitarse mental o fsicamente sin angustiarse. Por
meditar o tan pronto como entra a una habitacin clida se aturde y sta es una
excepcin que pertenece a unos pocos trastornos de la cabeza y de la sensibilidad; es
usualmente sensible al fro. Constituye una caracterstica asombrosa en este remedio
que precisamente aparezcan por la noche muchos trastornos, molestias y dolores.
Resfros. Cefaleas. Dolores en el ovario al medioda. Aturdimiento con vrtigo como si
estuviera intoxicado. Los dolores de cabeza en el frontal y en el occipital. Afecciones
del cerebro de un solo lado. Neuralgia violenta ceflica de un solo lado por vez, como
si comprendiera una sola mitad del cerebro, por lo regular a la derecha. Esos pacientes
desmejorados, postrados y agitados debido a una exposicin al sol. Sobre el pericrneo,
las orejas, aqu y all sobre el cuerpo, pruritos. Tiene picazn y ardor como en
Agaricus, en los dedos de los pies, en las orejas, y se rasca el lugar afectado, sin
aliviarse hasta que la piel sale, y sangra. Ndulos en las orejas y cartlagos nasales
infiltrados.
Otra extraa caracterstica se produce en los ojos. La Plata afecta a los prpados ms que al
globo ocular. Produce oscuridad y prdida de la visin; pero sobre todo infiltraciones en
los prpados, hasta que aparecen tan duros como un cartlago. La mucosa est
endurecida, y los prpados no se pueden abrir, excepto con violencia. Estn
espasmdicamente cerrados. Blefaritis. Copiosas secreciones. Ahora, como
consideramos esta una regin catarral, djenme decir que, a travs de todo el remedio,
encontraremos secreciones catarrales pasivas, espesas y amarillas. Pero lo principal de
la secrecin de Argentum met. es el color gris, espeso, tenaz del mucus. Expectora por
los pulmones -y desde la trquea, la laringe, mucosidad gris, y del mismo color desde la
vagina, uretra, y ojos. Solamente pocas veces aparecen secreciones amarillas. Cuando
sobrevienen ulceraciones como en la laringe o sobre los prpados, tenemos secrecin
amarilla, pero desde la superficie de la mucosa ulcerada se la encontrar gris, excepto en
la uretra. Ha curado antiguos casos de gonorrea crnica. Si conocemos el carcter
general del remedio sabremos a qu atenernos cuando acta sobre cada regin. Pero
primero debemos delinear que es general, que puede esperarse, que pertenece a la
naturaleza del remedio, as cuando encontramos el opuesto lo podemos reconocer y
saber que es un opuesto, y como una excepcin. Aqu est una de las caractersticas del
prurito de Argentum. "Rascarse hasta sangrar, en la oreja". Ahora, esta picazn se
produce en toda la parte exterior del lbulo, y se extiende dentro del odo, as se rasca
el rgano hasta que se pone colorado, hinchado, y sangra. El cartlago de la oreja forma
un bulto y es noduloso; est infiltrado. Los cartlagos de la nariz tambin estn
infiltrados. Argentum met. cura muchos de estos casos que son operados cuando tienen
una porcin en la parte interior de la nariz que es eliminada por el cirujano, as el
paciente puede respirar mejor. "Espesamiento de los huesos de la nariz, y la formacin
de mucosa y de tejido celular en las cavidades nasales". Argentum met. es indicado a
menudo en tales casos. Este remedio tiene una accin muy decidida. Las infiltraciones
continan espesando y endureciendo, y entonces tenemos suero en las articulaciones.
Este es uno de los ms importantes medicamentos a conocer en la necrosis de cartlagos
en cualquier parte del cuerpo. Pero ello debe ir acompaado de sntomas nerviosos y
mentales que tiene el remedio, tal como he descrito. El paciente est enfermo, plido,
ansioso, cansado, desmejorado. Un paciente de Argentum met. es un enfermo que
debera haber tenido un doctor homepata aos atrs. Y se podra beneficiar ahora si no
hubiera llegado tan lejos.
"Tensin dolorosa en la garganta, que se siente como descarnada y dolorida durante la

espiracin". Esto se extiende hacia dentro de la laringe. "Penosos dolores provocados
por la respiracin. Ronquera debida a la tos en la laringe. Expectora fcilmente grandes
cantidades de mucus gris. Tensin en las fauces sobre el lado derecho".
Argentum met. tiene trastornos abdominales, dolores y sensacin de contusin. Si esto

progresa desde una inflamacin catarral de las mucosas se pasa a una congestin
general de todos los tejidos abdominales, se produce diarrea, o una constipacin
inveterada, tuberculosis de las glndulas mesentricas, extenuacin, debilidad, temblor.
Siente parlisis aqu y all en el cuerpo. Dolores penosos en todo el abdomen en
conexin con problemas urinarios, afecciones tales como tuberculosis, cancerosas,
infiltraciones, materia fecal arenosa, muy ofensiva. Inflamacin catarral de las mucosas
urinarias. Cura albuminuria; diabetes millitus, y muchas de las dolencias renales, as
como constitucin desmejorada. Enormes cantidades de suero como orina, poliuria.
Los nios pierden orina mientras duermen. Constituciones nerviosas, decadas, pierden
orina durante el sueo.
Posee una accin decidida sobre los genitales tanto femeninos como masculinos. En el
hombre afecta especialmente los testculos y la mucosa de los conductos. Infiltra los
testculos produciendo dureza. En el texto se lee, "dolor aplastante en el testculo
derecho". "La ropa aumenta la molestia al caminar". Inflamacin con infiltracin.
Orquitis crnica. Ha curado muchos testculos sospechosos de tener una afeccin
cancerosa, la cual comienza en el epiddimo, que sigue a una gonorrea. Inflamacin,
gran dureza, dolor, hinchazn, ardor y prurito.
Otro sntoma importante es una "Gonorrea amarillo-verdosa de un carcter indolente desde

el comienzo, de ocho meses de duracin".
Ahora, es una caracterstica natural de la gonorrea que el flujo amarillo, o amarillo-verdoso

y espeso de las primeras etapas se torna blanco y fluente despus de su iniciacin.
Argentum met. es el remedio adecuado cuando el flujo permanece amarillo en casos
antiguos. Estos casos antiguos obstinados que no admitirn remedios ordinarios pero si
una clase peculiar, como Alumina, Alumen, Sulphur, de los cuales no se piensa durante
el primer periodo, pero el estado general constitucional del paciente determina el
carcter de sus sntomas.
En el sexo femenino aparecen trastornos ovricos, infiltraciones, durezas, ovarios csticos

que son curados por este remedio as como tumores de ovarios; muy grandes, indurados
especialmente el izquierdo. El testculo derecho, el ovario izquierdo. Dolor en el ovario
izquierdo y en la espalda, con prolapso. Las curas han sido predominantemente en el
ovario izquierdo, aunque alivia las molestias de ambos.
Otra gran caracterstica de este remedio es la debilidad y relajacin de los msculos en todo
el cuerpo; si tal caracterstica del medicamento se observa en los rganos plvicos se
ver que aquellos msculos que sostienen el tero, los ligamentos anchos, etc., estn
relajados y el tero se afloja. En otras palabras, se tiene prolapso. Se asombrar de saber
que los remedios homeopticos son maravillosos en su capacidad para crear tonicidad,
y por lo tanto restaurar el rgano a su posicin normal, y eliminar la sensacin de
arrastre hacia abajo que sienten las mujeres en esa afeccin. Argentum es una de las
medicinas.
El cuello uterino est congestionado, endurecido, y ulcerado. Ha constituido un paliativo en

epitelioma del cuello, con ardor. dolor, prurito, putrefaccin, flujo amarillento-verdoso
y con sangre. Ha curado una tendencia a la menorragia, copioso flujo menstrual y
hemorragias, cuando los sntomas del medicamento concuerdan.
Es una medicina de gran uso en leucorreas horribles y ofensivas, (Kali ars., Kali p. ).
"El cuello del tero muy inflamado, de aspecto esponjoso, profundamente corrodo con
lceras en diferentes direcciones". Donde es proporcionado en caso de escirro se dice:
"En menos de tres das el olor detestable desaparece completamente". Cuando un
remedio acta de esa manera, realmente detiene el crecimiento. De hecho, un estado
canceroso que llega a su culminacin en catorce a diecisis meses durar dos o tres aos
y el paciente se sentir mejor. El medicamento que es indicado detiene la ulceracin,
modera la destruccin, y mantiene al paciente confortable y con sus amigos durante
aos. En afecciones cancerosas el promedio de vida es muy bajo, ms all de la
restauracin.
En las afecciones larngeas, es un remedio maravilloso. Prdida de voz con inflamacin, por
uso vocal excesivo, tal como sucede en cantantes y oradores, por debilidad paraltica de
las cuerdas vocales. Tuberculosis de laringe. Cantantes, oradores pblicos quienes
desmejoran, nerviosos, de mala digestin, dbiles por herencia, adquieren tuberculosis
de laringe, y pierden la voz. Siguen ulceraciones. Y este trastorno finalmente aparece en
los pulmones. Se extenan y transpiran por la noche. "Prdida de la voz". Generalmente
de carcter doloroso.
Otra vez, el resfro se establece en la laringe. "No puede hablar una palabra en voz alta;
constante cosquilleo en la laringe, provocando tos". Crudeza y dolor en la parte
superior de la laringe. La risa agrava la tos la risa le causar cosquilleo en la laringe, y
despedir cantidades de mucosidad gris. Si la irritacin est localizada en los conductos
de aire pequeos, en los pulmones, la risa lo har toser, y el paciente despedir
mucosidad gris. "Sobre la bifurcacin de la trquea, una sensacin spera al hablar, rer,
o cantar". En medio del pecho una sensacin desgarradora. "Aspereza y ronquera de la
voz. Tisis de laringe"; en aquellos jvenes consumidos; un hombre joven cuando tiene
veinticinco aos parece de cincuenta. Muchas arrugas como si hubiera tenido exceso de
preocupaciones. Tiene una tos seca; se levanta una pequea mucosidad gris. Aunque
est algo nervioso, se siente bastante bien. Posee tisis hereditaria. La tos es una tos
profunda, se agrava por la risa, al hablar y en una habitacin clida. La risa le causa tos
y mucosidad en la laringe. Este remedio dejar a un lado esta amenazante tisis, esta seca
y fastidiosa tos. Un poco seca, aparece especialmente bajo los efectos de este remedio.
En ningn otro remedio, excepto Bryonia encontramos una tos tan violenta y
espasmdica. Cuando se tose duele la laringe. "La tos es acompaada con una
expectoracin fcil". Usualmente no tose mucho para que no aparezca la mucosidad y
para aliviar una pequea irritacin; pero cuando hay mucosidad generalmente sube
fcilmente. No es muy difcil de separar como sucede en muchos remedios. "Es
fcilmente separable. La mucosidad en la laringe". El paciente simplemente lo expulsa
por un esfuerzo de la laringe. Tos y expulsin de la laringe durante el da y la noche,
empeoran en una habitacin calurosa y mejoran al aire libre y con el movimiento.
Tiene una sensacin de debilidad en el pecho. Hay dos remedios que tienen esta debilidad y
no se los puede separar muy fcilmente. Voz dbil, pecho dbil; siente que es muy
difcil respirar, y muy difcil hablar, y toser, porque los msculos del pecho estn muy
dbiles. Estas dos medicinas son Argentum met. y Stannum. Gran debilidad que el
paciente vive intensamente, y es una muy diferente a la que aparece en tuberculosis.
Por supuesto, esto es completamente diferente a Antimonium tar., el cual posee una
terrible debilidad pectoral, pero en este remedio, recordar , es en las afecciones agudas.
El remedio es apropiado para las enfermedades prolongadas, por lo tanto "gran
debilidad de pecho" significa lo que he tratado de describir y es en esto que los
pacientes fallan en sus esfuerzos por describir. "Doctor, siento una debilidad en el
pecho".
Ahora, este remedio est lleno de trastornos cardacos. Palpitaciones cuando se acuestan
sobre la espalda. "Una sensacin de temblor en el pecho". Una sensacin de
palpitacin, agitacin, o temblor, como ser descrito por los diferentes pacientes,
temblor en el pecho. Esa temblorosa debilidad de todo el cuerpo, manos y pies.
"Palpitaciones frecuentes. Durante el embarazo, de noche. Palpitaciones relacionadas
con dolores de cabeza". Con debilidad general.
La debilidad aumenta gradualmente. Debido a esta debilidad general las rodillas chocan al
caminar. Los miembros se vuelven tiesos. "Entumecimiento de los miembros, como si
estuvieran dormidos". Prdida de poder. Muchas de las molestias aumentan durante el
descanso. Dolores de espalda y en los miembros mientras estn sentados, mejor cuando
caminan. Todas las excitaciones nerviosas que son posibles en los remedios aparecen
con ste.
ARGENTUM METALLICUM (Farrington)
Argentum metallicum produce espasmos que simulan a la epilepsia; los ataques son
seguidos de ira delirante. El enfermo brinca y trata de pegar a quienes estn cerca de l.
Produce dolor espasmdico en diferentes regiones del cuerpo; tambin da origen a una
cefalalgia que aumenta gradualmente y cuando alcanza su punto mximo, cesa de modo
repentino. Este dolor generalmente se localiza en el lado izquierdo y muchas veces va
acompaado de vrtigo; el enfermo es extremadamente olvidadizo. El miocardio participa
de estos dolores neurlgicos, por lo que habr subsaltos espasmdicos de este msculo
sobre todo cuando el enfermo se acuesta en decbito dorsal.
Ahora, la debilidad que naturalmente sigue es fcilmente explicable si se recuerda una
cualidad de su accin sobre las articulaciones. Tiene especial afinidad por los cartlagos
articulares. De este modo encontraremos debilidad general con sensacin de magulladura
en la parte baja del dorso, por la debilidad del raquis, cansancio general que obliga al
enfermo a acostarse para poder descansar, sobre todo las rodillas estn dbiles. Habr no
un verdadero reumatismo articular, sino una artralgia con dolores del mismo carcter que
la cefalalgia. Todos estos sntomas son bastante comunes. Nos los encontramos en las
mujeres nerviosas, histricas, y en los hombres despus de la prdida de fluidos,
particularmente de semen.
Argentum metallicum obra sobre las membranas mucosas de la garganta y la laringe;

hay exudacin de moco puro, no purulento ni seroso, sino parecindose exactamente al
almidn hervido. Va acompaado de ardor y desolladura en la laringe, que son excitados
por hablar y por el uso prolongado de la voz. El moco se expectora con facilidad.
Argentum metallicum obra sobre el ovario izquierdo, produciendo un dolor magullante

y algunas veces una sensacin de como si el ovario se agrandara. (en Argentum nitricum,
el ovario derecho). Se trata simplemente de una sensacin subjetiva. Asociado a este dolor
de magulladura, hay muchas veces prolapso utrino.

(13)
Los pocos sntomas que han sido observados con este polvo (obtenido por la trituracin de
la plata durante una hora, con cien partes de azcar de leche), prueban ya suficientemente
que, as tratada la plata metlica, proporciona al mdico homepata un recurso eficaz en
gran nmero de estados morbosos, que ningn otro medicamento podra curar.
Sin embargo, con el tiempo he conocido, que una segunda dilucin del mismo grado, es
decir tal como un grano de polvo que contuviese 1, 000 de plata, es todava demasiado
fuerte para los usos de la homeopata.
La plata parece que est indicada homeopticamente contra algunas especies de diabetes,
es decir, que tiene el poder de curarla de un modo durable, si los otros sntomas de la
enfermedad coinciden tambin con los dems efectos primitivos que determina.

Una trituracin de plata met lica pura

Observaciones generales
Antes del advenimiento de las soluciones coloidales, la medicina ortodoxa utilizaba poco
los metales puros, con la importante excepcin del mercurio durante el siglo pasado. En la
Edad Media, la plata y el oro eran apreciados principalmente por razones astrolgicas. Al
descubrirse las soluciones coloidales, se han encontrado diversos usos para los metales y
ahora la plata tiene un lugar en la teraputica. Se da en concentracin de 1 en 2000 y menos
(entre 3x y 4x de la farmacia homeoptica) y se la considera principalmente como un
antisptico de uso local en afecciones como la oftalma y la blenorragia. Se la administra
internamente para afecciones g stricas e intestinales, localmente en "spray" para el asma y
se afirma que tiene una cierta accin en septicemias.
En el estudio de este medicamento se comprobar que la homeopata tiene algo
significativo que decir en todos estos puntos, salvo la septicemia, en que, para nosotros,
raras veces se presenta su indicacin.
Pero mientras el estudio de los coloides estaba en su infancia (y antes), Hahnemann haba
descubierto que su mtodo de potenciacin mediante la trituracin, poda convertir
sustancias virtualmente inactivas en poderosos remedios y utilizaba de este modo los
metales, entre otros agentes. Adems, descubri que cuando se trituraba hasta la tercera
potencia centesimal el material se tornaba soluble y se lo poda tratar como una solucin
desde el punto de vista teraputico y para una ulterior potenciacin. De hecho, tal como lo
han mostrado Boyd y Judd Lewis, el procedimiento ha dado como resultado una
preparacin coloidal. De este modo, Hahnemann queda reivindicado una vez ms en una
afirmacin ridiculizada durante mucho tiempo como charlatanera. Como tantas otras veces
estaba en lo cierto y sus arrogantes crticos equivocados, pues estos ltimos, como es
habitual al considerar la homeopata, prefirieron las afirmaciones a los experimentos.
Entre otros metales, se ha potenciado y sometido a experimentacin la plata y el resultado
es Argentum metallicum como remedio.
Los homepatas han observado constantemente que las propiedades teraputicas y los usos
de un elemento varan cuando entra en combinacin con otros. Desde luego, se pueden
descubrir las semejanzas con facilidad; por ejemplo, todas las sales de sodio tienen mucho
en comn, pero el elemento o los elementos agregados forman una entidad diferente y en la
prescripcin exacta, que constituye el objetivo de la homeopata, se necesita ya un
compuesto, ya otro.
Si bien se han utilizado el cianuro y el yoduro de plata, nuestro verdadero conocimiento de
las sales de plata se basa en las experimentaciones de la plata met lica y del nitrato de plata.
En la sintomatologa existen diferencias importantes entre ambos: no son de ningn modo
intercambiables. Sus puntos principales de ataque son similares en cierta medida, pero la
naturaleza y la intensidad del efecto varan. Con nuestros actuales conocimientos resulta
imposible determinar cmo se produce tal variacin, pero los hechos son manifiestos y se
los puede verificar clnicamente.
Resulta probable, y en todo caso es correcto en cuanto a las experimentaciones, que la
ingestin de pequeas cantidades con alguna persistencia provoca efectos ms profundos y
de ms largo alcance que la ingestin de cantidades ms grandes, que el cuerpo neutraliza
en el argirismo. Pero contina siendo un problema establecer por qu, teniendo en cuenta
que ambos medicamentos afectan profundamente el sistema nervioso, presentan all
diferentes resultados y por qu el metal muestra una "afinidad" por los cartlagos que no se
puede inferir de la accin del nitrato. Pero la tarea del homepata consiste en correlacionar
los sntomas de la enfermedad con los del medicamento y utilizar el metal o el compuesto
segn lo exijan esas indicaciones.*
Accin sobre el sistema nervioso
La plata met lica (al igual que el oro o el plomo) afecta el cuerpo en forma lenta pero
profunda. Penetra hondo. El sistema nervioso revela siempre sntomas importantes. La plata
puede afectar nervios perifricos, pero sus efectos parecen comenzar en gran parte desde el
exterior: las vainas nerviosas. Bajo su accin, las clulas cerebrales se pueden finalmente
reblandecer y degeneran. El aspecto racional e intelectual de los procesos mentales es el
que sufre ms. La plata ejerce escasa influencia sobre las emociones y los afectos, lo cual
tiene una significacin especial, pues el nitrato de plata perturba profundamente la psiquis
en el aspecto emocional, en particular produciendo fobias y ansiedades de difcil
explicacin.
Arg. met. parece perturbar las facultades intelectuales del individuo, existe incapacidad
para pensar y cansancio mental general, de tal modo que se torna cada vez ms nervioso y
sensible al ambiente. En tales pacientes la memoria falla y el individuo se vuelve
olvidadizo. Por tal motivo, el medicamento es sumamente valioso para aquellos cuya vida
se concentra en gran parte en el pensamiento: los trabajadores intelectuales de cualquier
tipo. Como el dolor de un tipo u otro constituye por lo general un sntoma predominante,
esta circunstancia, desde luego, perturba y atormenta an ms a quien piensa, y los
paliativos a los cuales es probable que recurra, siendo todos ms o menos inhibidores de la
actividad cerebral, no mejoran la situacin sino todo lo contrario. El paciente est fatigado,
pero el hecho de dormir no lo ayuda en absoluto, pues tiende a sentirse peor despus de
dormir; para l la maana es un momento de tensin terrible, y slo por un esfuerzo de la
voluntad puede emprender su trabajo del da.
Cuando el intelecto se ve estorbado de este modo, el paciente, desde luego, se confunde y a
primera vista se puede parecer a alguien en quien una emocin como la clera o el temor ha
producido un desequilibrio. Pero el origen de la confusin es intelectual, no emocional. Es
verdad que puede estar irritable, enojarse con facilidad e incluso proferir multitud de
palabras colricas, pero esta situacin es el resultado de una prdida de control a causa de
una creciente toma de conciencia de que no puede confiar en su razn (de la cual se
enorgullece). De manera similar, al encontrarse en reuniones no tiene inclinacin a
conversar. Ha perdido confianza; teme decir tonteras y en ciertas ocasiones, si se lo
presiona, puede decir y hacer cosas ridculas.
*Se debe recordar que casi ninguna experimentacin alcanza un nivel ideal. Todas tienden
a ser fragmentarias e incompletas y la verdadera sorpresa es que con tanta frecuencia son
amplias y adecuadas. Si se ensayaran de una manera ms exhaustiva ambos remedios en
seres humanos, podran aparecer ms semejanzas. La idiosincrasia personal debe
desempear un gran papel en la determinacin de la respuesta de cualquier experimentador.
Nadie tiene clulas totalmente perfectas y si el cuerpo est expuesto en su conjunto a
cualquier veneno los tejidos menos perfectos tendern a originar sntomas en primer
trmino a menos que, por cualquier motivo estn protegidos contra el ataque
Las sacudidas de los miembros representan un sntoma digno de mencin y sobrevienen
especialmente cuando el individuo se acuesta para dormir.
El fin del cuadro mental es un colapso nervioso que puede ser profundo. La nutricin se
resiente, el peso del cuerpo disminuye y el paciente se vuelve cada vez ms sensible y ms
nervioso y fsicamente cada vez ms delgado y enfermizo.
En esta etapa se dicen y hacen cosas particularmente extraas, conducta desequilibrada que
conduce a acusaciones de "histeria" por parte de los conocidos, incluso amigos, con
respecto a los cuales ya no se experimenta ninguna simpata.
Cuando est presente un estado de profunda postracin nerviosa, la piel puede poner de
manifiesto sntomas. El paciente gusta del calor y se pueden intentar baos de sol. Sus
efectos requieren una vigilancia cuidadosa, pues la piel puede comenzar a picar y a arder
excesivamente, lo cual conduce a rascarse y esto a la formacin de exulceraciones cuya
curacin es lenta. Las zonas afectadas no parecen muy distintas de las que padecen una
congelacin. Los homepatas deben recordar con frecuencia el hecho embriolgico de que
tanto la piel como el sistema nervioso son de origen ectodrmico. Pero es difcil establecer
de una manera confiable la relacin entre los sntomas cutneos y los nerviosos.
La relacin de la plata met lica con las gnadas y las facultades intelectuales y del nitrato
con las glndulas suprarrenales y la emocin del miedo es suficientemente interesan e para
realizar conjeturas acerca de la correlacin entre la accin de los medicamentos sobre la
corteza y sobre las glndulas endcrinas.
En la experiencia homeoptica, apenas hay un medicamento que no desarrolle en cierta
medida sntomas del sistema nervioso. Cuanto mayor sea la profundidad de la
experimentacin, tanto ms probable es que tales sntomas adquieran importancia y tanto
ms valiosas se vuelven esas indicaciones como guas para quien prescribe, como lo
sostuvo Hahnemann hace mucho tiempo. Tampoco es difcil comprender que el sistema
nervioso, el director del cuerpo, debe ser susceptible a influencias que, si son nocivas,
deben ser enfrentadas y combatidas. La psiquis est relacionada tan ntimamente con el
cerebro que en tales circunstancias son casi inevitables ciertas modificaciones de su
actividad.
Por consiguiente, se infiere que al examinar tales relaciones y sus posibles explicaciones (y
al realizar cautas conjeturas al respecto), ya un medicamento, ya otro, parecer ilustrar un
aspecto de toda la cuestin. Probablemente es preferible, en el estado actual de nuestros
conocimientos (y de nuestra ignorancia) examinar tales cuestiones una por una a medida
que los efectos de un remedio determinado ofrezcan sugerencias, pero ser necesario repetir
algunas ideas bajo diferentes encabezamientos. Por ejemplo, al tratar la coca y la cocana
encontraremos algunos prrafos que guardan cierta relacin con los que siguen.
Es un asunto interesante examinar hasta qu punto el trabajo mental creativo est
vinculado con el tipo sexual del individuo. Si consideramos principalmente los grandes
artistas creadores (y en este terreno debemos hacerlo) se torna cada vez ms evidente que
casi siempre dichos individuos tienen un fondo de deseo sexual ms o menos frustrado.
En tanto que Freud sostiene que el poder creativo proviene de la experiencia personal y
considera las grandes realizaciones personales como el resultado de una sublimacin de
pasiones intensas obstaculizadas en su satisfaccin normal, Jung estima que la facultad
creadora no es una compensacin y una huida sino que emerge como un smbolo autnomo
desde lo inconsciente. Como la creacin parece requerir una cierta femineidad de enfoque
(en el sentido de la entrega del yo a los impulsos subliminales), los perodos de inhibicin
sexual deben alentar la creacin artstica. Nada importa que los grandes artistas puedan
haber tenido en ocasiones numerosas experiencias sexuales, incluso promiscuas. Se trata de
intentos, que han fracasado, de hallar satisfaccin para deseos ms profundos que han
persistido. Es probable que la actividad sexual fsica y la creacin sean incompatibles y que
las grandes obras maestras hayan sido producidas durante perodos de inhibicin sexual en
sus autores.
Desde luego, debemos comprender que adems de su tipo sexual y de su renuncia a esa
actividad para el trabajo creativo, existen en el trasfondo dotes especiales y esa capacidad
para utilizar mensajes subliminales que representan probablemente la denominacin ms
aproximada que podemos dar a la inspiracin del genio. Las experiencias de la vida y la
facultad de trasmutar la actividad sexual positiva en un canal para lo que emerge de lo
inconsciente, slo libera las fuentes de la vida creativa que estn latentes: su cantidad y
calidad deben depender de otros factores. Estimamos que resta que quienes se satisfacen
sexualmente con facilidad (por ejemplo, Casanova) y tambin quienes experimentan un
deseo sexual escaso o no intenso no han producido nunca un trabajo creativo de primer
orden. Pueden ser interesantes, ingeniosos, inteligentes, crticos excelentes del trabajo de
otros, benefactores de la humanidad de muchas maneras; a menudo son admirables
trabajadores cientficos (aunque no creadores cientficos, pues el trabajo repetitivo es la
anttesis del trabajo creativo). Pueden ser ciudadanos valiosos, pero los vuelos ms altos en
cualquier direccin no son para ellos. Dicho sea de paso, resulta fascinante sugerir que el
fracaso general de las mujeres en cuanto a rivalizar con los hombres en las realizaciones
artsticas ms elevadas se debe al hecho de que la maternidad, la creacin fsica, ocupa el
lugar de esas realizaciones, lo cual no significa subestimar la parte creativa desempeada
fsicamente por el varn, pero la obra de convertir la clula nica ambisexual en un ser
humano le corresponde a una de las partes. Las mujeres que han logrado los niveles ms
altos en el trabajo artstico raras veces han consumado el aspecto fsico de su naturaleza.
Las mujeres mismas, desde luego, destacan ms bien las incapacidades que impuso a sus
mentes a lo largo de los siglos el varn predominante y afirman que las facultades estn all,
pero sin la posibilidad de desarrollarlas. En el siglo que viene o en los dos prximos siglos
tal vez se pueda determinar por medio de la experiencia si ellas tienen razn o si es vlida la
sugerencia anterior en el sentido de que la creacin artstica disminuye cuando las
funciones sexuales se cumplen normalmente, a menos, por supuesto, que la locura de la
humanidad destruya la civilizacin tal como existe en la actualidad*.
*La reversibilidad de las funciones corporales y las actividades psquicas se observa
especialmente en el plano del trabajo creativo.
Volviendo a Argentum metallicum, su accin sobre las gnadas nos inducira a pensar en
este medicamento cuando los pacientes son trabajadores intelectuales, incluso creativos,
pues podramos afirmar que su potencia, en cuanto a las hormonas sexuales, constituira un
factor importante en su salud. Debemos esperar que sus glndulas sexuales sean excitables
pero un poco por debajo de lo comn en cuanto a su potencia, de tal modo que la
enfermedad, al atacar las partes menos definidas, las debilitara an ms y el medicamento
que mejorara la resistencia local, hara ms efectivo el estimulo cerebral que haba sido
reducido por la enfermedad.
Desde luego, hay abundantes pruebas de que la plata afecta las clulas nerviosas pero, en
general parece atacar las que tienen accin sobre la psiquis. Los sntomas mentales de la
plata pueden ser causados en gran parte en forma indirecta pero principalmente a travs del
efecto del medicamento sobre las gnadas.
En las mujeres los efectos se podran poner de manifiesto en mayor medida en el plano
fsico, su esfera particular de creacin, y en los hombres en el plano mental y emocional. Se
debe recordar siempre que mientras que para la especie humana slo son importantes las
realizaciones de mayor envergadura, existe una multitud-de trabajos temporarios
secundarios a realizar que tienen en s mismos elementos creativos. Puede ocurrir
perfectamente que entre estas personas de menor importancia la plata encuentre sus usos
ms frecuentes. De todos modos, los grandes artistas son pocos y, en realidad, recordando
lo que sabemos de los mismos no hay muchos, y en este momento no recordamos ninguno,
que consideraramos como buenos sujetos para la plata met lica desde el punto de vista
homeoptico.
La relacin de las hormonas sexuales con la personalidad es otro tema de gran inters. En
la descripcin de Platinum sugerimos que el arrogante orgullo que caracteriza al
medicamento se debe asociar con su indudable poder sobre las gnadas, lo cual conduce a
una perturbacin del equilibrio hormonal.*
Como la plata, para no mencionar el oro y otros agentes, acta sobre estas glndulas, es
interesante seguir los posibles efectos sobre el carcter y la disposicin del nimo, ahora
que hemos examinado los posibles efectos sobre la energa creadora. Debemos aseverar que
nuestra hiptesis de trabajo en este campo es la de una creencia en el libre albedro y en el
poder de la educacin para modificar y controlar tendencias debidas a factores como el
equilibrio hormonal y sus variaciones. Desde luego, comprendemos que los individuos
varan ilimitadamente en las tendencias con que los han dotado la herencia, las
circunstancias y las enfermedades. Tal es el motivo por el cual los juicios morales
personales son tan ftiles, aunque por suerte no se encuentran entre los deberes del mdico.
"Remitir los pecados hacia los cuales nos inclinamos condenando aquellos que no nos
atraen", es tan fcil como insensato. Quienes tienen conciencia de las posibilidades de
enfermedad en estas direcciones encontrarn ms fcil abstenerse de tal hbito.
Tenemos buenas pruebas de que determinadas drogas se asocian con ciertos defectos de la
disposicin del nimo. Cuando surgen defectos similares en una enfermedad evidente o
existen en sujetos como resultado presumiblemente de su estructura fsica, el remedio
apropiado ejercer sobre ellos un efecto favorable. La sugerencia de que el mecanismo que
interviene puede ser un mecanismo de equilibrio hormonal constituye una tentativa de
relacionar los hechos clnicos con las opiniones fisiolgicas corrientes. Pero los hechos y su
aplicacin prctica quedan en pie, aunque las explicaciones demuestren ser errneas.
Despus de aclarar de este modo el terreno, podemos volver a Arg. met. A diferencia de
Platinum, que hace pensar en exceso desordenado, Arg. met. sugiere un defecto de
hormonas sexuales. Los sujetos que le corresponden carecen de confianza en s mismos y
no son orgullosos. A menudo la timidez est acompaada por un sentimiento de
inferioridad, que aqu puede estar presente. Algunas veces el camuflaje de este estado es un
carcter afirmativo forzado, pero no llega a la vanidad, a menos que todo el complejo
permanezca profundamente en lo inconsciente. Si hay alguna comprensin consciente (por
ms leve que sea) de un fracaso y una derrota, la vanidad no aparece. En realidad, el
mecanismo que se encuentra detrs de la vanidad no es de fcil anlisis. Se debe establecer
una distincin entre el orgullo y la vanidad. En raras ocasiones pueden coexistir, pero es
ms factible que cada uno est presente en forma aislada.
*No es imposible que las propias hormonas puedan tener en ciertas ocasiones una
estructura ligeramente modificada, lo cual agregara otro factor a la perturbacin, pero a
falta de pruebas directas, podemos trabajar sobre la hiptesis del equilibrio general
perturbado por exceso o defecto de una o ms secreciones internas.
El orgullo es una conviccin fija de superioridad (surgida de un sentimiento de
inferioridad) que no depende de pruebas, pues el individuo la elabora a partir de cualquier
incidente de la vida. Todo acto personal se torna importante. Cualquier realizacin,
magnfica en la opinin de otros, carece de importancia. La oposicin y la crtica excitan la
clera, pero no debilitan la creencia arraigada. Es el estado de Platinum, asociado casi con
seguridad con una perversin de las hormonas sexuales. Benvenuto Cellini es en la historia
un ejemplo tpico de este tipo. En cambio la vanidad es un deseo de ser advertido y
apreciado, un anhelo de obtener publicidad, y si bien el individuo vano se deleita en lograr
que se lo elogie a l y a su obra y puede absorber una cantidad ilimitada de adulacin a
menudo es razonablemente crtico con respecto a sus logros y no est presuntuosamente
orgulloso de stos. Puede incluso tolerar una critica adversa, pues por lo menos se trata de
alguien que le ha prestado atencin. Cuando este tipo est bien acentuado muy raras veces
tiene un fuerte poder sexual. A menudo es carioso y amable, y su vanidad tiene un cierto
carcter infantil que sustenta la idea que desde el punto de vista sexual es un sujeto con un
signo menos y no con un signo ms. Raras veces, si alguna vez ocurre, estos individuos se
encuentran entre los mayores creadores, aunque a menudo producen una admirable obra
secundaria; son ingeniosos, agudos, encantadores. Probablemente la disminucin de
hormonas sexuales va acompaada por un exceso (pequeo) de hormonas tiroideas e
hipofisarias. Tales individuos suelen tener buena salud y son vigorosos.
Finalmente, se debe agregar que los muy grandes creadores, en virtud probablemente del
poder de su voluntad y su control, no son vanidosos ni orgullosos. Dante, Leonardo y
Beethoven eran conscientes de sus poderes, pero carecan del ansioso deseo de elogio de los
vanidosos y del desprecio egocntrico hacia los dems de los orgullosos. Dante confiesa su
orgullo, pero el verdadero orgullo valora la comprensin del poder con control de sus
manifestaciones y el profundo sentido de responsabilidad por el mismo, que puede
significar humildad ante Dios. Son los hombres y las mujeres de menor categoria quienes
sucumben al orgullo y la vanidad, y esta concepcin ayuda a situar a aquellos que nos dan
la impresin de poseer una parte de las dotes del genio, a pesar de la cual no logran realizar
la obra que consideramos posible para ellos. A menudo tambin son dbiles en su control
moral y probablemente en esta falla de la voluntad reside el problema. Los grandes estn
dotados del poder de controlar sus recursos fsicos, o lo adquieren dolorosamente. De modo
que en el caso de ellos se pueden moldear los impulsos subliminales y ser utilizados por
todas las facultades conscientes sin estorbo ni obstculo por influencias emocionales
temporarias. La plata puede ayudar al vanidoso, ms que al orgulloso, pero como ya se ha
sealado, raras veces es el remedio para los mayores espritus entre los hombres.
Arg. met. corresponde a ciertos tipos de agotamiento mental que se encuentran entre los
hombres de negocios y los trabajadores intelectuales. La memoria falla y el poder de pensar
y concentrarse est debilitado. El enfermo se despierta por la maana sin sus fuerzas
recuperadas; se dispone con dificultad a realizar las actividades mentales y el esfuerzo
fsico que se le requerir durante el da que se inicia.
Es sensible al ambiente y por tal motivo se fastidia con facilidad o incluso se encoleriza
con su familia. La clera agrava sus sntomas.
Algunos de los rasgos de ansiedad y expectacin que se encuentran en el sujeto de Arg. nit.
se presentan tambin en este medicamento. La expectativa de un prximo compromiso
despierta temor y ansiedad, originando tal vez un ataque de diarrea.
La cefalea puede ser frontal u occipital, ms comnmente la primera. La hemicrnea es un
fenmeno frecuente, especialmente en el lado derecho. Los dolores aumentan
gradualmente, pero cesan en forma repentina. El calor los alivia, aunque las habitaciones
cerradas agravan al paciente y le pueden producir vrtigo. A menudo las cefaleas muestran
una periodicidad, y la hora del medioda es un momento favorito para el comienzo del dolor
de cabeza y otros dolores. Tambin la presin y las bandas ajustadas producen alivio. La
cefalea de Arg. nit. presenta rasgos similares, pero resulta bastante singular que el paciente
de Arg. met. es friolento y gusta del calor, en tanto que el paciente de Arg. nit. por lo
general gusta del fro. Esta diferente reaccin a la temperatura que muestran medicamentos
ntimamente relacionados no es comn pero ocurre, por ejemplo, con Pulsatilla (que desea
el fro) y Silicea (que desea el calor). Sin embargo, Silicea sigue a Pulsatilla mejor que
cualquier otro remedio.*
Como ya se ha mencionado, los sntomas sugieren una accin sobre las gnadas de ambos
sexos, aunque resulta bastante extrao que aparezcan en la mujer principalmente en el lado
izquierdo, y que en el varn el testculo derecho sea el afectado con mayor frecuencia. En
Arg. nit. aparece una marcada agravacin de los sntomas durante el periodo menstrual.
Pero en Arg. met. las glndulas parecen afectadas en todo sentido y se ha despejado con
este remedio el dao tisular en las mismas. Es igualmente probable que se modifique la
secrecin interna de las gnadas y que aumente el complejo sintomtico nervioso en el
sentido de una falta de control. Las alteraciones tisulares en las glndulas que sugieren Arg.
met. son las de una infiltracin crnica. Por ejemplo, esta droga alivia a menudo la orquitis
crnica y si es de origen gonorreico la plata met lica posee un valor especial, pues su poder
sobre las mucosas la hace figurar en la uretritis. La indicacin especial para Arg. met. en la
uretritis blenorrgica es que el flujo contine como un lquido espeso, de color amarillo o
amarillo verdoso; una manifestacin no comn de gota militar, que se obsena habitualmente
como un flujo seroso incoloro. Hay ausencia de dolor. Por tal motivo, este medicamento
tendr probablemente valor para el caso crnico (con tales modalidades) que persiste
despus de un intenso tratamiento. Por otra parte, teniendo en cuenta la susceptibilidad de la
zona al metal en los experimentadores, puede ocurrir de vez en cuando que en un individuo
sensible haga ms mal que bien. Los "antispticos" locales enrgicos no gozan de gran
favor entre los homepatas, que prefieren actuar desde adentro hacia afuera. La astenia
general que causa la plata afecta naturalmente los tejidos de sostn de la pelvis y el
descenso y el prolapso son comunes en las mujeres. Probablemente haya ulceracin
cervical crnica, y el medicamento ocupa un lugar en la teraputica del carcinoma uterino,
especialmente cuando ste se asocia con un flujo purulento de olor ftido.
*El Dr. Gibson Miller uno de los mdicos ms hbiles en la prescripcin que haya visto la
homeopata, destac esta reaccin al calor y el fro y le concedi mucha importancia. Tiene
gran valor cuando es sumamente marcada, si bien se deben recordar las relaciones
paradjicas observadas anteriormente. No obstante, existen muchos "indiferentes" que no
son calurosos ni friolentos y no se puede forzarlos en ninguna de las dos categoras.
Arg. nit. tiene un notable poder para producir conjuntivitis. El metal ataca la regin ocular,
pero ms los prpados que el ojo. La blefaritis se presenta con infiltracin, espesamiento y
abundante derrame mucoso que puede contener pus, pero a menudo es simplemente gris y
pegajoso. Una mucosidad gris y espesa como sta proviene igualmente de otras mucosas y
Arg. met. se clasifica como un "remedio catarral". Aunque las estructuras oculares externas
son afectadas de una manera menos evidente (crnea, cristalino, iris) a menudo existe
visin borrosa, pero no se ha determinado su relacin con un tejido.
En el conducto alimenticio los sntomas son menos acentuados que en Arg. nit., pero se
debe sealar un catarro gstrico e intestinal, y el debilitamiento muscular inclina a la
constipacin, que puede ser muy pertinaz, a menos que el catarro sea suficiente para causar
una diarrea irritativa.
A menudo se observa poliuria y tanto la albuminuria como afecciones diabticas que
indican la plata (especialmente en organismos quebrantados) se han curado con su uso.
Una accin muy destacada de Arg. met., que no aparece en forma notable en Arg. nit., es su
facultad de afectar los cartlagos. Ya se ha sealado el espesamiento y la infiltracin de los
tejidos conectivos, pero la accin sobre el cartlago penetra an ms profundamente. Las
articulaciones, las orejas, la nariz, pueden revelar una hipertrofia cartilaginosa e infiltracin
con espesamiento e induracin. Por consiguiente, cada vez que los cartlagos son atacados
por la enfermedad, se debe pensar en Arg. met., y habitualmente se encontrarn otros
sntomas que sealan este medicamento. Este poder de infiltracin y espesamiento ha
conducido a su uso en el cncer y con bastante xito, por lo menos en el alivio de los
enfermos, y se registran algunas desapariciones reales de neoformaciones. Particularmente
los escirros tienden a ser beneficiados por este medicamento.
El marcado efecto sobre la laringe se debe asociar con su accin sobre los cartlagos. Se
desarrolla laringitis y posiblemente afona, en especial despus de un uso excesivo de la
voz, como ocurre en los cantantes y los oradores. Puede haber una mayor o menor parlisis
de las cuerdas vocales. Agreguemos al cuadro el profundo poder inflamatorio de Arg. met. y
podemos llegar a pensar en l en una ulceracin tuberculosa o incluso maligna.
Existe constante sensibilidad y dolor y no es infrecuente un punto doloroso en el fondo de
la trquea. La palabra y la risa agravan la tos que se repite hasta que se expectora una
pequea y espesa mucosidad gris. Los ataques de tos no son tan violentamente
espasmdicos como los de Bryonia o Drosera, pero son persistentes y secos. El pecho se
siente "dbil", como si la fuerza muscular fuera insuficiente para una respiracin eficaz, lo
cual torna ms difcil la tos. A menudo este fenmeno est acompaado por palpitaciones y
latidos irregulares y, al igual que con muchos otros sntomas de Arg. met., el reposo no
alivia sino que empeora el malestar.
Los dolores nerviosos son comunes y pueden ser intensos, especialmente en las
extremidades inferiores. Tales dolores se agravan mucho en reposo, por cuyo motivo el
paciente, si bien posiblemente est agotado, se ve obligado a caminar.
A veces se describen los dolores como "parecidos a un shock elctrico". Aparecen en forma
repentina, en especial cuando el paciente est por dormirse.
Entre las articulaciones, las de la mueca son sitios favoritos de espesamiento crnico, y un
antecedente de blenorragia constituye un indicio adicional para el mdico.
Modalidades generales
En general, los dolores se agravan durante el reposo; a menudo el paciente no se puede
quedar quieto por ms que lo intente.
El fro y la humedad ocasionan dolores y el calor tiende a aliviarlos; por lo comn el
paciente es friolento y prefiere el calor, aunque le agrada el aire libre.
Muchas de las dolencias se agravan durante el reposo y el movimiento las mejora; todos
los sntomas estn peor despus de dormir.
La hora del medioda es tambin un momento en que aparecen o se agravan los sntomas.
Arg. met. debe ser estudiado junto con Arg. nit.: se debe preferir ya uno, ya el otro, y sus
diferencias son suficientemente ntidas para hacer la eleccin ms fcil de lo que se podra
imaginar a partir de su similitud estructural.
Argentum metallicum (Hahnemann)
(arg-m.)
(Silver.)
This metal in its pure state, as leaf-silver (argentum foliatum), from the supposed
impossibility of its being dissolved in our juices-an impossibility that has no better basis
than theoretical speculation-is said by the teachers of materia medica to be just as powerless
as gold (which see).
At first I allowed myself to be deterred by these confident assertions from using it
medicinally, and therefore employed only the solution of nitrate of silver (in the dose of a
drop of the quintillionth dilution), when I had the opportunity of observing the few
subjoined symptoms caused by it.
But, in spite of all the denials of theorists without experience, who always persist in
regarding the stomach as a cooking or digesting machine, containing gastric juice which,
judging by their trials in the vessels of their laboratory, they found to be incapable of
dissolving either metallic gold or metallic silver, and therefore considered these medicines
to be incapable of exciting any action upon us such as they do when chemically dissolved
lege artis in the stomach, when they are methodice absorbed and introduced into the
circulation of the blood; influenced by the reasons I have adduced respecting gold, I could
not refrain from employing pure silver in the metallic state.
I therefore made experiments on the healthy body with leaf-silver, after triturating it for an
hour to the finest powder, with a hundred parts of milk-sugar.
The few symptoms observed from it and set forth in the following pages furnish the
homoeopathic physician, in silver under this form, with a curative instrument in many
similar morbid states, which cannot be cured by any other medicinal agent, and for which
the ordinary physician fails to find a remedy in all his therapeutics, clinical experience and
voluminous prescription-books.
But I subsequently found that for homoeopathic use another hundred-fold attenuation, that
is to say, a grain of powder containing 1/10000th of silver, may be a still too large dose.
The empirical reputation of nitrate of silver in the ordinary forms of epilepsy is not well
founded, and seems to have arisen from the circumstance that in some varieties of
convulsions, where copper is indicated, a salt of silver containing copper has been used.
But that pure silver, such as leaf-silver is, should be efficacious in the worst and
commonest form of epilepsy, is not borne out by the primary symptoms as yet revealed
from its administration.
R.BOYLE'S so-called diuretic pills, which contain nitrate of silver, and which are so much
praised by BOERHAVE, are quite unsuitable for their purpose, not only on account of the
perilous size of the doses, but also because silver, as the subjoined symptoms produced by it
show, only increases the urinary secretion in its primary action (consequently the opposite
of the diminished urinary secretion in dropsical diseases), whereupon, by means of the
ensuing reaction of the vital force, the opposite of the end aimed at must take place, which
is its permanent secondary action, to wit, a still greater diminution of the urinary secretion;
a true antipathic and, for this case, injurious procedure.
Such hurtful mistakes must have hitherto been committed by the ordinary physicians,
because they were unacquainted with the primary effects of the medicines, and knew of no
way whereby they could learn them, and took no pains to discover the right way.
Indeed, for five- and-twenty centuries they have had no notion of primary and secondary
actions, and knew not that the human organism develops as secondary action of medicines,
as a permanent condition, the exact opposite of their primary action, and that, consequently,
in order to effect any permanent cure, medicines to be really curative must be able to
produce in their primary action the simile of the morbid state actually present, to allow us to
expect from the reaction of the organism the opposite of the medicinal primary action (and
of the disease similar to it), that is to say, the destruction and alteration into health of the
deranged sensations and functions.
On the other hand, silver can cure permanently some kinds of diabetes when the other
symptoms of the disease correspond in similarity to the other primary symptoms of the
disease. [HAHNEMANN was assisted in this proving by - FRANZ, GROSS, HAYNEL,
HARTMANN, HERRMANN, LANGHAMMER, MEYER, WISLICENUS. The following
old-school authorities were consulted for the effects of nitrate of silver : HALL, THOM.,
Phys. Med. Journal, 1800, July, also in Duncan's Annals of Med., v, 1801. KINGLAKE,
London Medical and Physical Journal, 1801. MOODIE, Med. and Phys. Journal, 1804. No
old-school writers are quoted for effects of metallic silver. The 1st edit.gave 200 symptoms
to silver, to this 2nd edit. 23 have been added.]

Argentum metallicum (Hering)
Pure Metallic Silver.

Hahnemann published in 1813, in the fourth volume of his Materia Medica pura, the first
proving made by him and his class, with the Argentum foliatum, or the silver leaf of the
gold beaters, after having collected a few symptoms from the nitrate.
But like he had experienced with the gold, and preferring always to prove the chemical
elements, unaltered by their combination with acids, he triturated the leaves from the shops,
and proved the trituration on himself (40 symptoms) and his class, W. Gross, C. Franz, Fr.
Meyer, W. E. Wislicenus, Ch. Fr. Langhammer, and E. Th. Hermann (144 symptoms).
In 1825 appeared a second edition of the Materia Medica, when his own had increased
only to 56 symptoms, and the others of his class by the valuable proving of F. A. Haynel
with 24 symptoms, one symptom of W. Gross having been stricken out.
In 1846 appeared another and a masterly proving of Wm. Huber, made with a trituration of
the precipitated metal, what the chemists hard learned since 1820, when Stapf prepared
Platina in this way.
Several other provings, most with the higher, have been added and used, especially from
one of our best men, who does not wish to be known except by the letter B, and have been
very useful as corroborations.
Some symptoms of the oxide and some of the arseniate have been kept back.

ARGENTUM NITRICUM (Vijnovsky)

(Nitrato de plata)
MENTALES
*** 1- Es uno de los medicamentos con ms temores de la Materia Mdica. Tiene miedo de
estar solo, hasta el extremo de despertar a su esposa o a los suyos para tener con quien
hablar; a menudo el miedo de estar solo es, sobre todo, porque tiene miedo a morir, a que
le pase algo grave y no haya nadie para auxiliarlo. Miedo a morir (lo siente ms cuando
est solo), a las enfermedades, en lugares pblicos, a las aglomeraciones o multitudes, a
la locura, a los ladrones, a tener un ataque o a desmayarse, a sitios estrechos o cerrados
(claustrofobia): necesita sentarse o estar cerca de la salida; de perder el control, de
emprender cualquier cosa por temor a fallar o fracasar (ver 6).
*** 2- Anticipa todos los acontecimientos, importantes o no, y los anticipa en horas, das o
meses. Piensa constantemente en ese acontecimiento o compromiso en el que
habitualmente es actor, principal o secundario, y vive, generalmente con ansiedad y
miedo, cada detalle del suceso que su imaginacin y sus fantasas le hacen vivir, casi
siempre en forma negativa o de fracaso. Tambin est a la expectativa de que suceda
algo. Est muy ansioso cuando hace una cita; tiene miedo cuando est listo para ir a la
iglesia o a un concierto o cine o teatro, o a cualquier espectculo pblico, cuando va a
una cita con el mdico o dentista; tambin antes de viajar, piensa en las posibles
alternativas del viaje y no puede dormir. Es, adems, uno de los principales
medicamentos del miedo al examen, sobre todo si hay mucho miedo de fracasar en el
mismo, y su utilizacin en estos casos alivia extraordinariamente la situacin. Es bastante
frecuente que esta anticipacin se acompae de sntomas somticos, de los que los ms
notables, en anticipaciones de pocas horas, son la diarrea (ver 43), palpitaciones,
trastornos gstricos (nios que se resisten a ir a la escuela y vomitan), temblores,
etctera.
*** 3- En relacin muy estrecha con la anticipacin est el constante apresuramiento,

precipitacin o apuro en que vive este paciente, siempre acelerado, tal vez por una
profunda sensacin de que el tiempo pasa muy lentamente, y eso lo impulsa a apurarse;
tiene miedo de no tener tiempo para hacer sus cosas; quisiera terminarlas antes de
haberlas comenzado. Todas sus actividades las hace con apresuramiento, especialmente
caminar y ms an para llegar a tiempo a un sitio o cita, aunque le sobre tiempo, y
siempre llega bastante antes de la hora. Es verdaderamente un error de percepcin del
tiempo. Hay una especie de inquietud ansiosa que lo obliga a caminar rpido, y esto lo
pone ms ansioso y la ansiedad lo hace caminar ms rpido an; a veces, mientras
camina, piensa que va a tener un ataque o que va a morir, y esa idea lo hace caminar ms
rpido. Es muy impulsivo.
*** 4- Lo asaltan raras ideas con respecto a las casas o lugares al caminar por la calle o en
una habitacin: le parece que los ngulos de las casas sobresalen tanto, que teme irse
contra ellas; que no puede pasar por determinados lugares, teme pasar por ciertas
esquinas (se calma cambiando su camino); tiene miedo que las paredes de las casas y los
edificios altos le caigan encima si camina cerca de ellas o simplemente si las mira, le
parece que se van a aproximar o juntar y lo van a aplastar, y se marea o vacila al
caminar; o que las paredes de la habitacin lo van a aplastar.
*** 5- Desea compaa: muchos de sus trastornos ceden, se atenan o simplemente no

aparecen si est acompaado.
*** 6- Tiene un sentimiento ntimo de desvalorizacin. Por un lado, proveniente de los
dems (segn cree): piensa que lo abandonan, que es despreciado o desdeado,
desatendido, que no le prestan atencin o que no le dan importancia; se siente
abandonado (sobre todo al despertar), con una sensacin de aislamiento. Por otra parte,
l mismo se autodisminuye: est repleto de sentimientos de fracaso, cree que todo le va a
fallar, que el trabajo lo va a hacer mal; no emprende nada por temor a fracasar, tiene
miedo de comenzar cualquier cosa porque cree que no es capaz de hacerlo; es indeciso,
cambiante, indiferente a todo lo que signifique una ocupacin; tiene aversin al trabajo y
deseos de quedarse en cama. Falta de ambicin (Clarke).
** 7- Tiene presentimientos de muerte; predice el da, la hora, el momento de su muerte

(Acon.); piensa que est por morir, que tiene una enfermedad incurable (especialmente
del cerebro) y lo desespera. Pero tambin puede haber netas tendencias suicidas, que se
manifiestan por impulsos de saltar, que sobrevienen en un lugar alto (tiene miedo a
lugares altos) sobre todo si mira hacia abajo: aparece un deseo irresistible, compulsivo,
de tirarse o arrojarse desde la altura si est en un balcn o cruza un puente o por una
ventana.
** 8- Es sumamente obstinado, terco, y siempre presenta las ms extraas objeciones contra

todo lo que se le propone.
** 9- Intelectualmente, tiene dificultades en pensar y comprender, sobre todo en nios. Su

memoria es escasa, para las palabras, para lo que va a decir. Se olvida de las palabras

esfuerzos mentales desusados o prolongados (Allen). Imbecilidad. Comportamiento
infantil; hace cosas raras, locas, irracionales, y llega a extraas conclusiones. Hace

fijas), especialmente de sus sufrimientos.

ARGENTUM NITRICUM (Nash)
Impulsivo; el tiempo pasa demasiado lentamente; debe caminar rpido.
Aprensin: al prepararse para ir a la iglesia, al teatro, etc., sobreviene diarrea.
Vrtigo con zumbidos de odos, debilidad y temblor.
Angulos oculares tan rojos como la sangre, tumefactos y haciendo saliencia como un
trozo de carne roja.
Irresistible deseo de azcar; afecciones gstricas con eructos violentos y sonoros.
Heces: verdes, mucosas, como espinaca picada en trocitos, se vuelven verdes al

permanecer en el paal; son expulsadas con mucho ruido como de chisporroteo.
Las secreciones de las mucosas son generalmente profusas y algunas veces

purulentas,
Pacientes arrugados y secos, que se han vuelto as por la enfermedad.
Gran deseo de aire fresco.
Guernsey dice: "Pensamos en este remedio al ver a una persona arrugada y seca, que
se ha vuelto as por la enfermedad." Esto se encuentra especialmente en los nios. "Tiene el
aspecto de un viejo pequeo y arrugado." (Fluoric acidum: jvenes con aspecto de viejos.)
Argentum, como el oro, afecta profundamente el psiquismo y tambin como el oro es
uno de los mejores remedios para la hipocondra. En esta afeccin los sntomas son tantos
que slo podemos remitir al lector a los "Guiding Symptoms" donde los encontrar.
nicamente mencionaremos unos pocos entre los ms prominentes y peculiares de los que
han sido frecuentemente verificados.
"La vista de edificios altos le produce vrtigo y marcha tambaleante." "Cuando

camina por la calle teme pasar la esquina, porque la esquina de la casa le parece que se
adelanta hacia l y tiene miedo de chocar contra ella." "Impulsivo, debe caminar muy rpido,
siempre de prisa." (Lilium tigrinum.) "Aprensin cuando se prepara para ir a la iglesia o al
teatro; esto le produce diarrea." (Gelsemium.)
La impresin de que debe apresurarse, tanto de Argentum nitricum como de Lilium

tigrinum, se encuentra principalmente en los trastornos uterinos, mientras que la diarrea por
excitacin emocional parece depender de una perturbacin nerviosa general. A menos que las
indicaciones sealen resueltamente uno de los remedios de preferencia al otro, ser bueno
ensayar primero el vegetal. Los minerales son, por lo general, de accin ms profunda y ms
prolongada y sern quiz preferibles cuanto ms crnica sea la enfermedad.
Algunos de los sntomas muy curiosos que figuran en ste y en otros remedios no se
presentan todos los das en la prctica, pero cuando se los encuentra son tanto ms valiosos
porque los casos que los exhiben son raros y no son fcilmente interpretados ni tampoco
curados por los remedios ordinarios. Algunas de nuestras ms brillantes curaciones han sido
efectuadas precisamente en tales casos y dan una gran satisfaccin tanto al mdico como al
paciente.
-Argentum nitricum es en ocasiones el mejor remedio para la hemicrnea, un tipo de

cefalea que es a menudo muy atormentadora y difcil de curar. Un sntoma peculiar que
pertenece a la cefalea de Argentum nitricum es una sensacin de expansin; el enfermo siente
como si la cabeza estuviera enormemente agrandada y, como Pulsatilla y Apis, experimenta
una mejora cuando la cabeza est ceida apretadamente. Esta sensacin de expansin es
tambin un sntoma general, pues siente como si el cuerpo entero o una parte de l se
estuviera dilatando; algunos pacientes describen esto como una sensacin de plenitud.
(Aesculus hippocastanum.) Tal sensacin existe tambin en otros remedios, pero en ste se da
en una forma muy pronunciada.
Argentum nitricum tiene mucho vrtigo, que a menudo se acompaa de zumbidos de

odo, debilidad general y temblor. No puede caminar con los ojos cerrados; la vista de
edificios altos le provoca vrtigo. Estos sntomas traen el recuerdo de Gelsemium. Ambos
remedios presentan mucho vrtigo, una gran flojedad temblorosa, acompaada de debilidad
general, temblor objetivo y sensacin tremulante, y los dos se han mostrado tiles en la
ataxia locomotriz. A igualdad de indicaciones dara la preferencia a Gelsemium en los casos
recientes o en la iniciacin y a Argentum nitricum ms tarde. Pero por lo general existen
indicaciones diagnsticas que nos permiten elegir entre ellos.
En las afecciones oculares Argentum es uno de nuestros ms eficaces remedios y

como todos los remedios que son de gran excelencia para algo, ste ha sido empleado en
forma abusiva y desastrosa por la antigua escuela. Es deplorable que ella no conozca de estos
valiosos agentes lo suficiente como para aprovechar los buenos efectos y evitar los malos,
porque muchas veces los calamitosos resultados de su empleo impropio les atrae a los
remedios una reputacin tan mala que hasta se teme utilizarlos en absoluto. Fue por esta
razn que los antiguos botnicos rechazaron todos los medicamentos minerales, pues hasta
este punto los haba espantado el mercurio. Corresponde a los homepatas el ensear cmo
utilizar todos esos agentes de tal manera que se obtenga de ellos los buenos efectos, evitando
al mismo tiempo los malos. Acerca de las enfermedades oculares Allen y Norton escriben
como sigue: "El mayor servicio que presta Argentum nitricum es en el tratamiento de la
oftalma purulenta. Con una extensa experiencia, tanto en prctica hospitalaria como privada,
no hemos perdido ni un solo ojo a causa de esa enfermedad, y todos los casos fueron tratados
con medicacin interna, la mayora de ellos con Argentum nitricum en alta potencia, la 30 o
la 200. Hemos visto la ms intensa quemosis, con estrangulacin vascular, exudacin
purulenta sumamente copiosa, hasta con enturbiamiento incipiente de la crnea y apariencia
de ir sta a la formacin de una escara, moderarse rpidamente bajo la accin de Argentum
nitricum por va interna. Los sntomas subjetivos faltan casi por completo y esta misma
ausencia, junto con la exudacin purulenta copiosa y la tumefaccin palpebral por una
coleccin purulenta en el ojo o por la infiltracin del tejido subconjuntival de los prpados
mismos, indican el medicamento. (Apis, Rhus.)" Ms adelante escribe Norton: "Creo, en
efecto, que no hay necesidad de cauterizar con l, excepto en la forma blenorrgica de la
conjuntivitis purulenta." Semejante testimonio proveniente de tales fuentes debera hacer
repudiar el abuso de este agente en manos de los mdicos de la antigua escuela y, a veces,
tambin de los falsos homepatas.
En mi propia prctica como clnico general he tenido frecuentemente mejor xito con
Mercurius solubilis en la conjuntivitis blenorrgica del recin nacido, sobre todo cuando hay
derrame de mucha materia purulenta al abrir los ojos. En las blefaritis Graphites y
Staphisagria me han sido de utilidad ms a menudo que Argentum nitricum, pero esto puede
no coincidir con la experiencia de otros, porque en los trastornos oculares, como en todos los
dems, deben ser estudiadas y cuidadosamente reconocidas las indicaciones en su totalidad.
(Borax no debe ser olvidado en las blefaritis.) Los especialistas tienden a perder de vista
aquel hecho y a inclinarse al tratamiento local, cuando un tratamiento general sera
infinitamente mejor. As, el sntoma "punta de la lengua roja y dolorosa, con papilas erectas y
prominentes" ha servido de gua para la curacin de muchas especies de diferentes
enfermedades.
-En el aparato digestivo tambin existen algunos sntomas de valor. Por ejemplo:
"Deseo irresistible de azcar; los lquidos parecen atravesar directamente el tubo digestivo;
la mayora de las afecciones gstricas estn acompaadas de eructos, eructos despus de cada
comida, estmago distendido por el aire, como si fuera a estallar; dificultad para eructar, pero
finalmente el aire escapa con gran ruido y violencia." (*)Este prrafo fue tomado de los
"Keynotes" de Allen por el autor, incurriendo en numerosos errores de puntuacin, que he
corregido. (Nota del Traductor.) Todas estas manifestaciones son caractersticas y no cabe
duda de que algunas veces es ste el remedio indicada cuando se dan Carbo vegetabilis,
China o Lycopodium por el hecho de que stos son remedios mucho mejor conocidos. La
dispepsia, las gastralgias y an la lcera gstrica han hallado a veces en Argentum nitricum
un poderoso remedio.
Ha prestado muy buenos servicios asimismo, en casos muy rebeldes de diarrea de

diversas clases.
"Mucosidad verde como espinaca picada en trocitos."

"Las heces se vuelven verdes al permanecer en el paal."
"Heces en trozos rojos, seromucosas de coloracin verde, fragmentos epiteliales."
"Emisin de muchos gases ruidosos durante la deposicin."
Debe tenerse en cuenta que existen otros remedios que poseen algunos de esos
sntomas en un alto grado, en especial Calcarea phosphorica, que tiene esa deposicin
chisporroteante con muchos gases ruidosos; es tambin un hecho que ambos remedios son de
gran valor en el estado hidrocefaloide consecutivo a la deplecin prolongada producida por
los casos rebeldes de enterocolitis. Si comprobramos un retardo del desarrollo seo, con
fontanelas abiertas y transpiracin de la cabeza, por supuesto que daramos la preferencia a
Calcarea phosphorica. Pero en Calcarea phosphorica el nio apetece carnes ahumadas,
tocino ahumado, etc., en tanto que en Argentum nitricum desea azcar o dulces. De todos
modos los dos remedios tienen una gran emaciacin, el nio muestra un aspecto de viejo,
arrugado, y en algunas oportunidades ser necesaria una cuidadosa individualizacin para
poder elegir entre ellos.
Argentum nitricum tiene su lugar en el tratamiento de las afecciones de la garganta.

Hay en sta una mucosidad espesa y adherente que lo obliga a carraspear y que causa una
leve ronquera. Sensacin de carne viva, de irritacin, de raspadura en la garganta, que
ocasiona carraspeo y tos. Sensacin de una astilla hincada en la garganta (Nitric acidum,
Hepar sulphur, Dolichos) y tambin sensacin de cuerpos puntiagudos al deglutir, provocada
por excrecencias verrugosas. Estas alteraciones pueden extenderse hacia abajo hasta invadir
la laringe, en especial en los cantantes, sacerdotes y abogados que hacen mucho uso de su
voz. Entonces est doblemente indicado.
-Al llegar a la espalda y los miembros hallamos nuevamente a nuestro remedio

ubicado en la plaza para recibir honores. "Dolor intenso en la regin lumbar al levantarse de
un asiento, aliviado estando de pie o durante la marcha", es un trastorno que se encuentra a
menudo en la prctica y que he corregido frecuentemente con Sulphur o con Causticum, pero
en el que debe recordarse tambin a Argentum nitricum. Si en las afecciones de la espalda
hallamos una gran lasitud (Kali carbonicum), con cansancio, en especial de los antebrazos y
de los miembros inferiores sobre todo de las pantorrillas, y si, adems de esto, encontramos
vrtigo y temblor de las extremidades, podemos tener la certeza de que Argentum nitricum
actuar bien.
Podemos hallar indicado este remedio en la paraplejia debida a causas debilitantes o

en las parlisis postdiftricas. Lo mismo tambin en la epilepsia o en las convulsiones; en la
epilepsia un sntoma caracterstico consiste en que las pupilas se muestran dilatadas durante
horas o das antes de la crisis; en cuanto a las convulsiones, estn precedidas durante breve
tiempo de una gran agitacin. Cuprum metallicum tiene gran agitacin entre las crisis.
Digamos finalmente que Natrum muriaticum es el mejor antdoto para los efectos del
empleo abusivo de Argentum nitricum, especialmente sobre las superficies mucosas.
ARGENTUM NITRICUM (Lathoud)
El nitrato de plata no existe en estado natural; se obtiene por disolucin de la plata en cido
azoico. Sal soluble cuya frmula qumica es AzO3 Ag y se presenta en estado puro en
hojas transparentes, incoloras, anhidras, perfectamente neutras, de sabor tpico y
metlico, desagradable. Muy custico, se disuelve en cantidad igual de agua fra; se
descompone con facilidad al aire libre y a la luz del sol.
Fundido y colado en lingotes constituye la piedra infernal empleada como custico.
El azcar de leche ejerce accin reductora sobre el nitrato de plata no debindose hacer
nunca por trituracin las dinamizaciones de este medicamento. Por otra parte a la accin
del alcohol en exceso se produce el fulminato de plata, materia blanca y cristalina que
deflagra al menor choque. Por ello es necesario proceder a las preparaciones del modo
siguiente: la primera dinamizacin se hace totalmente en agua destilada; la segunda en
mitad agua y mitad alcohol, y la tercera y subsiguientes, en alcohol.
Accin profunda especial sobre el SISTEMA NERVIOSO CEREBRO ESPINAL que bajo su
influencia, produce una serie de sntomas que van de la simple debilidad a la parlisis.
Causa tambin SENSACIONES ANORMALES particulares y por otra parte, un
ESTADO DEFECTUOSO EN LA COORDINACIN MUSCULAR que otorga al
medicamento lugar preponderante en el tratamiento de la ataxia.
Segn Chanot y Ball, la accin de los preparados argnticos puede asemejarse a la de la

estricnina. Touget admite que el veneno argntico paraliza los centros del movimiento y
de la respiracin. Para Rabuteau, las sales de plata son venenos musculares(ver Manquat
- Tratado de Teraputica. Tomo II. Pg. 15).
Tiene una accin no menos marcada sobre las mucosas, en las que produce"atona e
inflamacin destructiva" (Espanet).
Caractersticas
CONSTITUCIN Y TEMPERAMENTO: Al igual que ARG. METAL., ARG. NITR. hace

bien a las personas delgadas, irritables, de temperamento nervioso. (Dr. G. H. Martin).
Dice Guernesey: "Pienso en ARG. NITR. toda vez que encuentro un individuo
consumido y seco, agotado por la enfermedad. Esto lo vemos en nios que parecen viejos
arrugados". (FLUOR. ACID., jvenes con aspecto de viejos).
En una palabra, dice Chiron: "Se puede esquematizar el tipo de ARG. NITR. como persona
delgada, abatida, fatigada, de aspecto envejecido y ajado; los nios mismos parecen
viejos; cara consumida, color blanco sucio, ojos legaosos y labios azulados y secos;
tales individuos estn agitados y deprimidos espiritualmente"
Sntomas mentales
La plata, como el oro, afecta la moral, y en ARG. NITR. predominan las caractersticas
intelectuales en forma muy marcada, igual que en ARG. METAL
Los sntomas predominantes afectan LA MEMORIA Y LA RAZN. EL INDIVIDUO SE

HACE CADA VEZ MS IRRAZONABLE EN SUS ACTOS Y EN SUS
MANIFESTACIONES, comete actos raros, llega a conclusiones extraas. Est proclive a
toda clase de ILUSIONES, IMAGINACIONES Y ALUCINACIONES; est atormentado
por PENSAMIENTOS DE TODA INDOLE QUE AFLUYEN A SU MENTE,
PRINCIPALMENTE DE NOCHE, en que lo llevan a la ansiedad; esto lo lleva a un
estado de prisa y precipitacin; va, viene, vuelve a ir, luego piensa que debe hacerlo
nuevamente, y as hasta fatigarse. Ideas y temores le invaden. Sustenta la creencia que
tiene tal o cual enfermedad; ideas raras lo acosan;piensa que si pasa por determinado
lugar de la calle se va a caer y tendr convulsiones, y para evitarlo, antes que pasar por
all prefiere dar un enorme rodeo.
Es tan DBIL DE ESPRITU que no puede librarse de toda clase de IMPULSOS, afluencia
de pensamientos extraos; al pasar por un sitio elevado se le ocurre que podra caerse y
matarse, y a veces le viene la idea de saltar un parapeto o lanzarse al vaco. Si mira a
travs de una ventana piensa qu ocurrira si se lanzase por ella ya veces llega a concretar
tales ideas. TEME
LA MUERTE Y CAE EN ESTADO DE GRAN ANSIEDAD. Como ACON., cree poder

predecir la hora de su muerte al punto que mira pasar las horas con angustia. Si ha
prometido hacer algo, est ansioso hasta poder cumplirlo. Si tiene el propsito de viajar
su angustia le durar hasta que, una vez embarcado o en el vagn, el vehculo arranca. Al
llegar a una esquina, teme encontrarse con algo o alguien. Su ansiedad perpetua le
produce irritabilidad y se encoleriza fcilmente, volvindose vehemente, tiene dolor de
cabeza, tos, dolor en el pecho, debilidad. Cuando tiene que ir al teatro, a una boda u otro
compromiso, su ansiedad y su nerviosidad llegan a causarle diarrea.
"Las patogenesias acusan que el individuo da razones extraas para justificar su conducta,
buscando esconder su locura, de la que llega a darse perfecta cuenta. Es TRISTE,
MELANCLICO, tiene CONFUSIN ESPIRITUAL Y MEMORIA INSUFICIENTE"
(Kent)
Sensacin de expansin
Esta sensacin extraa y caracterstica puede sentirla en su cuerpo total o parcialmente.

Algunos pacientes la definen como sensacin de plenitud. (AESC. HIP.). Es ms
marcada en la cabeza donde la sensacin es dolorosa, parecindole que su cabeza est
considerablemente agrandada, y lo mismo que en APIS y PULS., se calma por la presin
fuerte.
Ulceraciones
"Ulceracin particularmente de mucosas; garganta, prpados, crnea, vejiga, tero, vagina y
labios. Estas ulceraciones parecen extraas, ya que la escuela oficial lo emplea para curar
y cicatrizar; nosotros los homepatas sabemos bien que es por ello que las cura" (Kent).
Modalidades
A) Lateralidad
Ms bien izquierda.
B) Mejora
a) POR EL FRO, POR EL AIRE FRO; es caracterstico, como en PULS. y otros

remedios, el hecho que desea aire fro, bebidas y comidas fras, cosas heladas; quiere
tener su cabeza al aire libre, se sofoca en habitacin caliente, con ropas abrigadas. No
puede estar en un lugar cerrado, donde haya muchas personas, por lo cual nova a la
iglesia ni al teatro (Kent).
b) Por la presin.
c) Por los eructos.
C) Agravacin
a) POR EL CALOR, CUALQUIERA SEA SU FORMA.
b) Por la noche.
c) POR LOS DULCES.
d) DURANTE LAS REGLAS: "Los malestares de ARG. NITR. tienden a agravarse o a

aparecer, en las mujeres, durante el perodo menstrual. Hay dismenorrea violenta,
excitacin nerviosa, manifestaciones histricas y flujo considerablemente abundante.
Pasadas las reglas, desaparecen todos los males". (Kent). Modalidad semejante tiene
CIMICIF., BELL., GRAPH., KALI CARB., NUX VOM., PULS., SEPIA, VIBURN. OP.
e) Despus de haber comido.
f) ACOSTNDOSE SOBRE EL COSTADO DERECHO; esta posicin le causa

palpitaciones (ALUM., BADIAGA, KALMIA, KALI N., LIL. TIGR., PLATINA,
SPONGIA). "En ARG. NITR. esto es tan caracterstico que puede considerarse sntoma
general. Por esta razn busca cambiar de posicin: se levanta, debe caminar, pues
acostado del lado derecho siente palpitaciones DE PIES A CABEZA; siente, al decir del
paciente, sensacin de pulsaciones generales". (Kent).
g) Los dolores aumentan y disminuyen progresivamente, lo cual se ve estn., PLATINA,

STRONT. CARB., SYPHIL. Esta modalidad que Boericke puntualiza para ARG. NITR.,
no la mencionan Allen, Charg, Clarke, Hunt Borge, Kent ni Sheddy.
Sntomas mentales
Desequilibrio mental caracterstico. Debilidad para los esfuerzos fsicos, trabajos

intelectuales. La FATIGA MENTAL se manifiesta en PERDIDA DE MEMORIA, o
DISMINUCIN. Teme que su cerebro falle funcionalmente. Su fatiga y nerviosidad
excesivas lo tornan irritable, colrico, fcilmente exasperado. FATIGADO, ABATIDO,
ENVEJECIDO PREMATURAMENTE. Tiene alternativamente tristeza y melancola,
pues tiene vaga consciencia de su desequilibrio mental. Teme padecer una enfermedad
incurable o enloquecer. (ALUM., CIMICIF., CALC. OSTR., ACON., LIL. TIGR.,
MANCIN., MEDORR.).
Perpetuamente AGITADO, APURADO, ATAREADO; camina ligero y cuanto ms inquieto

es su aspecto, ms siente necesidad de apurarse, hasta fatigarse; IMPULSO
IRRESISTIBLE DE CAMINAR APURADO; tiene necesidad de HACER ALGO
LIGERO pues SIENTE QUE EL TIEMPO PASA LIGERO, QUE NO LE PERMITIR
TERMINAR LO EMPEZADO. (CANN. IND.)
La particularidad de hacer las cosas rpido la tienen: AUR. MET. (impaciencia, deseo de
hacer varias cosas a la vez); LIL. TIGR. (adems de prisa para hacer todo, necesidad de
estar ocupado constantemente; sobre todo en la mujer angustiada por su salvacin, ganas
de llorar y perturbaciones uterinas caractersticas); MEDORR. (siempre atareado; siente
que el tiempo pasa lentamente; temor de enloquecer); NATR. MUR. y NUX VOM.
(siempre impaciente, apurado, pero con otras caractersticas fundamentales que evitan su
confusin) SULF. AC. (hace todo apurada y precipitadamente; impaciente, malhumorado
y dbil). ALUM., MERC. etc.
Este apresuramiento perpetuo se complica con APRENSIN CONSTANTE. Teme no tener

tiempo suficiente de cumplir con su obligacin.
APRENSIN POR CONCURRIR A UN LUGAR PUBLICO, A LA IGLESIA, AL

TEATRO, que le provoca diarrea. (GELS).
Fobias o temores impulsivos. Miedo a la multitud; FOBIA DE CRUZAR UNA ESQUINA, o

llegar al final de una cuadra, pues teme que el ngulo de una casa se le venga encima;
VRTIGO POR MIRAR EDIFICIOS ALTOS; le parece que los edificios de ambas
aceras se van a volcar sobre l aplastndolo; siente apuro y corre para huir del eventual
peligro. MIRANDO A TRAVS DE UNA VENTANA ELEVADA SIENTE DESEOS
DE ARROJARSE POR ELLA;cruzando un puente siente deseos de arrojarse al agua.
Ms que una mana suicida, es un deseo irresistible.
Sueo
Pesadillas agotadoras, sueos extraos y viciosos con serpientes, que se va a enojar con
amigos; despierta sobresaltado, y se agita enseguida, atormentado por preocupaciones
que persiguen su cerebro; de noche apenas duerme a causa de su excesiva nerviosidad;
por la maana tiene las piernas molidas, est cansado, tiene dolores en el pecho, etc.
(Kent).
Cabeza
DOLOR CONGESTIVO CON SENSACIN DE AUMENTO DE VOLUMEN. Mejora AL

AIRE FRO Y PRESIONANDO LA CABEZA CON UNA VENDA AJUSTADA. En
BAPT. la cabeza parece muy grande y pesada. Bovista tiene la misma sensacin de
aumento de volumen de la cabeza, y el cerebro parece aplastado. BERB., con igual
sensacin, y adems la cabeza parece apretada por un sombrero muy estrecho. En NUX
MOSCH., la cabeza parece muy grande y pesada y pareciera que el cerebro estuviese
aplastado (Chiron).
Cefalea con sensacin de fro y temblores. Le parece que los huesos del crneo fueran a
separarse, sobre todo despus de un trabajo intelectual prolongado.
Hemicrnea con dolor desgarrante principalmente en la jiba frontal, que mejora por la
presin fuerte; como dato contradictorio a las modalidades del remedio, empeora al aire
libre. Es ms frecuente del lado derecho, se extiende al ojo derecho, y como sntoma
distintivo, se acompaa de lasitud y temblor en todo el cuerpo por la violencia de los
dolores y termina en vmitos biliosos.
VRTIGOS acompaados de zumbidos de odos, temblores y debilidad general; VRTIGO

AL MIRAR EDIFICIOS ALTOS Y CAMINANDO CON LOS OJOS CERRADOS. Por
sus vrtigos y la debilidad, este medicamento y GELS. se parecen, al punto que ambos se
emplean con xito en la ataxia locomotriz.
"Siendo los sntomas restantes iguales - dice Nash - yo dara GELS. en casos agudos y ARG.
NITR. en crnicos". ALUM. tambin tiene vrtigos al cerrar los ojos.
Ojos
Sntomas muy numerosos, que encontramos en los estados catarrales del remedio;
ulceraciones y mejora por el fro (Kent).
OFTALMA CON SECRECIN PURULENTA PROFUSA, HINCHAZN DE PRPADOS

Y EDEMA(APIS Y RHUS TOX.). Oftalma de los recin nacidos.
Conjuntivitis con ABUNDANTE MUCOSIDAD PURULENTA, AMARILLENTA.

BLEFARITIS. (GRAPH., STAPH., BORAX). Conjuntivitis granulosa aguda, siendo
caracterstica la ABUNDANCIA de secrecin muco-purulenta.
FOTOFOBIA INTENSA; no tolera la luz, principalmente en habitacin caliente, no puede

leer, escribir, coser, ni otro trabajo. Corncula lagrimal, roja, masas de vasos rojos que se
extienden a la crnea, al leer manuscritos de caracteres pequeos; despus de un trabajo
minucioso de costura. Se acompaa este malestar con perturbaciones en la acomodacin.
Puede haber dificultades en la visin; fosfenos; ACOMODACIN DEFECTUOSA;al leer o

escribir ve bailar o borrarse las letras.
Cara
Tinte blanco sucio, cobrizo, labios secos y azulados, aspecto de PREMATURAMENTE

ENVEJECIDOS. La multiplicidad de sus arrugas responde de sus aprensiones que
diariamente aumentan sus torturas. Tambin LYCOP. tiene aspecto envejecido, pero en
este medicamento vemos adems una coloracin amarillo terroso, ojos vivos e
inteligentes como tambin vientre grueso y detalles que denotan ms que un estado
pendiente de preocupaciones, una disfuncin heptica.
Aparato digestivo
1) BOCA: BOCA SECA (si bien no tiene sed); PAPILAS PREEMINENTES Y PUNTA
DE LA LENGUA ROJA Y DOLOROSA; (no confundir con el tringulo rojo de la punta
de la lengua de RHUS TOX.).
Encas sensibles, sangran fcilmente. (PHOSPH). Puede haber dolor en dientes sanos,
(CAUST). A menudo la boca tiene olor ftido y mucha saliva, viscosa.
2) FARINGE: La mucosa tiene una COLORACIN ROJO OSCURO, ms acentuado en

fras. HEP. SULF. CALC., con modalidades opuestas, quiere habitacin caliente y
bebidas calientes. NITR. AC. por el aspecto particular de su garganta y el olor de las
fosas nasales, no puede confundirse. DOLICH. tiene localizacin en ngulo derecho del
maxilar inferior, y la sensacin es solamente perceptible en la deglucin. El prurito
interno peor de noche, el estado heptico, lo distinguen muy bien. El diagnstico de
SILIC. es ms difcil; tiene sensacin de pinche como de un alfiler, acompaada de
induracin ganglionar, y generalmente es el resultado de amigdalitis supurada peridica.
ALUM. y NATR. MUR. tienen catarro crnico seco de garganta, igual sensacin
dolorosa como de aguja clavada en la garganta; pero si se trata de garganta roja con
tumefaccin y dolor, estos dos remedios no calman, son ms eficaces ARG. NITR. Y
HEP. SULF. CALC. (Kent).
3) ESTOMAGO: DESEOS IRRESISTIBLES DE AZCAR Y DULCES. Desea y come

estos alimentos en gran cantidad, aunque le hacen mal. "La agravacin por el azcar es
tan marcada, que en lactantes cuya madre come azcar, aparece diarrea" (Kent).CALC.
OSTR. tiene deseos de dulces y huevos y sal lo mismo que de cosas indigestas como cal,
tiza, carbn; cina, con perturbaciones reflejas de parsitos intestinales agrega deseo de
azcar. KALI CARB. adems de desear azcar, tiene aversin a los alimentos y
sensacin de estmago lleno de agua. LYCOP., deseos de azcar, aversin al pan, y

errneamente CARBO. VEG., CHINA O LYCOP. (Nash).
ARG. NITR. figura entre LOS REMEDIOS MAS FLATULENTOS, en que el paciente est
distendido a punto de creer estallar, y slo obtiene alguna calma expulsando viento y

ARG. NITR. es un remedio nervioso rico en sntomas dorsales, dolores desgarrantes,

lacerantes, fulgurantes, sobre todo en extremidades inferiores, como los que vemos en la
ataxia locomotriz (Kent). DOLORES DE PROLAPSO RENAL, CALMADOS DE PIE
O AL CAMINAR, PERO FUERTES al levantarse de la silla (SULF., CAUST.). Si
adems encontramos GRAN LASITUD (KALI CARB.) FATIGA SOBRE TODO EN
ANTEBRAZO Y PIERNAS, VRTIGO Y TEMBLOR DE EXTREMIDADES, ARG.

COFFEA. Sigue bien a VERATR; en la disnea flatulente le sigue bien LYCOP.
Tambin es til en las enfermedades de los nios que han fumado. (ARS. VERATR.) (Allen).
ARGENTUM NITRICUM (Kent)
Encontraremos al examinar los sntomas de este remedio, que predominan las

caractersticas intelectuales. Primero de todo, perturbaciones en la memoria, y en la
razn. El paciente se torna muy irritable en la explicacin de sus acciones y mtodos.
Es irracional y realiza actos extraos y llega a conclusiones singulares, realiza cosas
tontas. Tiene toda clase de imaginaciones, ilusiones, alucinaciones. Es atormentado en
su mente por un flujo interior de pensamientos horribles, y especialmente durante la
noche sus pensamientos lo atormentan a tal extremo que se vuelve extremadamente
ansioso, para calmarse sale afuera y camina, cada vez ms ligero, hasta que se fatiga.
Ideas extraas y temores aparecen en su mente. Tiene un impulso de que est por tener
un ataque o que est por padecer una enfermedad. Un extrao pensamiento aparece en
su mente, si pasa por cierta esquina de la calle le producir una conmocin, se caer o
tendr un ataque, y para evitarlo dar una vuelta alrededor de la calle. Evita pasar por esa
esquina por temor a que le pase algo extrao. Admite dentro de su mente toda clase de
impulsos. Existe un flujo interior de extraos pensamientos, y cuando atraviesa un
puente o lugar alto le acomete el pensamiento de que podra suicidarse, o quizs saltar,
y a veces el pensamiento real es saltar del puente hacia el agua. Cuando mira a travs
de una ventana aparece el pensamiento en su mente, de saltar por la ventana. Existe
temor por la muerte, un estado de gran ansiedad; supone que su muerte est cercana, y a
menudo, como en Aconitum predice el momento de su muerte. Se muestra ansioso
mientras se adelanta a los hechos. Cuando piensa en algo que est por hacer en el
futuro, o cuando ha prometido realizar o cuando est a la expectativa de cosas, est
ansioso. Cuando tiene una cita tiene ansiedad hasta que ella llega. Si va a realizar un
viaje en tren est espantosamente nervioso hasta que se encuentra sobre el vagn,
viajando, y luego se le pasa. Si debe encontrarse con cierta persona en la calle, transpira
de ansiedad hasta que est con ella. No solamente este sntoma particular est presente,
sino que el sntoma aparece como resultado de su ansiedad. Es excitable, se enoja
fcilmente, y se produce con motivo de este dolor. Cuando se enoja se vuelve
vehemente y aparecen dolores en la cabeza; tos, dolor en el pecho y debilidad le sigue a
este enojo. La ansiedad que le producen estas circunstancias le traern molestias.
Cuando el paciente se dirige a cualquier parte, a una boda, o a la pera, o a cualquier
evento inusual, le sobreviene ansiedad, temor y diarrea. Tenemos con todo esto una
maravillosa medicina. Se menciona en el texto que el paciente da toda clase de razones
extravagantes para explicar su conducta, esforzndose por encubrirla, como si fuera su
misma tontera la que lo realiza. Tristeza, melancola y confusin. Memoria defectuosa.
La visin de grandes casas le produce vrtigo, que aumenta cuando cierra los ojos; con
el mareo aparecen zumbidos en los odos, gran debilidad y temblor .
Cefaleas constitucionales debidos a cansancio del cerebro, a esfuerzos de la mente. En tales

agotamientos mentales, dolores de cabeza, excitacin nerviosa y temblor, trastornos
orgnicos del corazn e hgado que poseen hombres de negocios, estudiantes,
trabajadores intelectuales, en aquellos temas de prolongada tensin, en actores que han
permanecido durante un largo tiempo con la necesidad de actuar bien ante el pblico.
Esta afeccin mental progresa hasta que se llega a un estado general de debilidad; con
temblor, parlisis, entumecimiento, perturbacin en las funciones, palpitacin cardiaca
y en todo el cuerpo. El estado nervioso contina hasta que aparecen desrdenes en
todos los rganos del cuerpo. El estmago se niega a ingerir, los alimentos ingeridos
parecen convertirse en gas, y el paciente se torna distendido y sufre dolor. La
circulacin aparece muy perturbada junto con la palpitacin. Las venas estn
ingurgitadas Degeneracin ateromatosa y dilatacin de las venas, varicsicas. Mucosas
y piel ulcerada, y esto progresa y el corazn se debilita. Las extremidades se enfran y
azulean los labios, con agravacin de todas estas molestias debida a la excitacin
mental por concurrir a la pera por encontrar un amigo, por mantener un encargo. La
medicina es predominantemente nerviosa, llena de sntomas espinales desgarradores,
dolores debajo de las extremidades, que derivan en ataxia locomotora, fulguraciones,
dolores intensos. Hay una caracterstica importante que aparece en el paciente,
modificando todos sus sntomas, con pocas excepciones, y sucede esto como si fuera un
paciente de Pulsatilla; desea aire fresco, bebidas fras, cosas fras; desea hielo, helados;
desea poner su cabeza al aire fresco; se sofoca en una habitacin clida, con ropa
abrigada, desea la puerta y ventana abiertas; no puede respirar en un lugar cerrado, se
sofoca si otras personas permanecen en la habitacin; no puede ir a la iglesia, a la
pera, a lugares de esparcimiento o a asambleas, debe permanecer en casa. Teme a las
multitudes, le teme a ciertos lugares.
En todas partes encontramos ulceraciones, pero particularmente en las mucosas, la

garganta; lo mismo los prpados, la crnea, la vejiga, el tero, la vagina, etc. Esta
tendencia a la lcera parece ms bien extraa. Las escuelas alopticas lo han estado
utilizando para cauterizar lceras y todava las siguen curando. Sabemos que
Phosphorus intensifica la tendencia a la ulceracin, hace que la lcera sea ms
profunda, mientras que Argentum nitricum las cura. Sobre las mucosas encontramos
elevaciones coloradas, granulaciones, agrandamiento de los vasos con aspecto
purpreo. lceras sensitivas. Los dolores aparecen en las mujeres antes y durante los
perodos menstruales y se agravan todos sus trastornos; si la paciente posee los
sntomas de Argentum nitricum. Sufre de las ms violentas dismenorreas, debido a
excitacin nerviosa, a manifestaciones histricas y a un inslito aumento de flujo. Una
tendencia a la hemorragia pertenece a este remedio. Las lceras sangran; as como la
nariz, el pecho, la orina es sanguinolenta, copiosa leucorrea, flujo menstrual abundante;
menorragia; sangran generalmente las mucosas, el tero. Vmitos de sangre. El
remedio ha curado las ms inveteradas ulceraciones gstricas cuando ya ha habido
vmitos de sangre.
La agravacin durante los perodos menstruales es una fuerte caracterstica y la paciente se

libera de los sntomas mientras tanto. La palpitacin, el temblor, fro superficial, aunque
desea fresco al aire libre, los labios estn morados, fro en las extremidades, azul y fro
desde las extremidades inferiores hasta las rodillas y desde las manos y brazos hasta el
codo, y todava el paciente quiere cosas fras, desea algo fresco. Esto no se ver en
ningn otro momento. Aqu aparece una caracterstica sorprendente: "El paciente no
puede yacer sobre el lado derecho porque le trae muchas palpitaciones". Tenemos
muchos remedios con palpitaciones si yace sobre el lado izquierdo, pero medicamentos
que se agravan en decbito derecho son raros (Alumen, Badiaga, Kalmia, Kali n., Lil t.,
Platina, Spong.). Es poco comn, extrao, raro y peculiar. Es una fuerte caracterstica
en este remedio que por extensin aparece como general, porque produce sntomas de
corazn y se entremezclan a los sntomas generales. Con esta sensibilidad el paciente se
ve impulsado a adoptar alguna otra posicin; debe levantarse y caminar, porque yace
sobre el lado derecho. El paciente dir que siente latidos desde la cabeza hasta los pies
cuando yace sobre el lado derecho. No olvide que sta es una de las medicinas ms
flatulentas que aparecen en los libros. Est distendido hasta el ardor; consigue poco
alivio por flato o eructos.
Est posedo por ideas desastrosas de que todas sus empresas fallarn. Cuando camina se
siente acobardado, con ansiedad la cual lo hace caminar ms rpido. En cualquier parte
encontrar predominantes los sntomas intelectuales.
Las cefaleas son de un carcter congestivo; considerables palpitaciones, aliviadas por el fro
y hermticos vendajes. Dolor de cabeza por esfuerzo mental, por excitacin con
vrtigo, nusea y vmitos. Dolores en el lado derecho de la cabeza, rasgados, cortantes,
punzantes. Siente la cabeza muy agrandada.
Los sntomas en los ojos son muy numerosos de mencionar. Son de carcter general tales
como los que encontramos en afecciones catarrales con ulceracin, aliviados por el fro.
Todos los sntomas de los ojos empeoran en habitaciones, al sentarse cerca del fuego.
El paciente desea aplicaciones fras, baarse con agua fra. Fotofobia intensa; aversin
por la luz, y esto es peor en una habitacin calurosa; el paciente desea la habitacin fra,
oscura. Existe mucha hinchazn y tumefaccin de los vasos del ojo, y enrojecimiento, y
posee una apariencia escoriada y descarnada. "Equimosis con vasos estrangulados".
"Crnea opaca". "Ulceracin de crnea en recin nacidos; secrecin profusa y purulenta
de los prpados", y esto es lo que los "Regulares", antiguamente y hasta ahora han
estado usando para los ojos, tratndolos con Argentum nitricum. Fotofobia: luego de
mirar prolongadamente una linda costura, una, bella pintura. Para alguno que ha estado
mirando repentinamente un paisaje lejano, aparece con un estado congestivo: no algo
anticuado pero si alguna cosa que podra ser curada. De una sola mirada no puede ver
impresos a una distancia normal sino que los debe alejar; si esto ocurre en pacientes de
veinticinco aos de edad o en nios. A distancias cercanas es indistinguible. Tales
perturbaciones de acomodacin en vistas lejanas han sido inducidas y curadas. "Edema
de prpados", etc.
"Edema" constituye una palabra que aparece con el remedio. Quiere decir, el remedio posee
un estado de hidropesa siempre que haya tendencia.
La cara es el prximo lugar en que encontramos particularidades dignas de hacer notar.

"Cara; la transpiracin aparece en gotas sobre la faz". "Cara hundida, plida, azulada."
"Se muestra prematuramente viejo". Rostro azul, respiracin pesada, sin pulso."
Luego aparecen los sntomas en la garganta. Otra caracterstica de este remedio es su

tendencia general a producir verrugas. Existe una tendencia al crecimiento de verrugas
y en la garganta hay pequeas verrugas como crecimientos; crecimientos de plipos en
la garganta y alrededor de los genitales y el ano; de aqu su gran uso en constituciones
sicticas. Posee todas las descargas necesarias para su uso en las constituciones
sicticas.
"Sensacin de tener astillas en la garganta cuando ingiere algo". Esto se relaciona con
Hepar. En afecciones inflamatorias de la garganta con ulceracin. Con Argentum
nitricum el paciente desea estar en una habitacin fra, desea aire fresco, e ingiere cosas
fras. En Hepar desea cosas calientes para beber, ropas abrigadas, habitacin calurosa, y
no puede sacar las manos fuera de la cama o tendr dolor en su garganta. Las cosas
como se vieron, son opuestas, pero en ambos casos sienten como astillas en la garganta.
En catarros crnicos secos Alumina y Natrum muriaticum poseen o sienten astillas en
la garganta; pero cuando la garganta est colorada con tumefaccin y dolor estos dos
remedios no alivian, los dos anteriores son mejores. Astillas en la garganta como
espinas de pescado. Nitric acid. Hepar y Argentum nitricum son los ms notables
remedios para la sensacin de espinas en la garganta. Muchos remedios traen punzadas
en la garganta, pero estos son los ms prominentes. Sabemos como Argentum nitricum
ha sido utilizado para ulceracin en la garganta, y aqu aparece como uno de los ms
tiles remedios en congestin de garganta de larga duracin. Catarro con prdida de
voz. Crecimiento de verrugas, condiloma, etc. Prdida de voz, tumefaccin de las
mucosas alrededor de las cuerdas vocales y paresia de las cuerdas vocales. Condiloma
de las cuerdas vocales.
"Prdida de apetito" y rehusa beber. Esta es otra caracterstica. Desea azcar. Siente que lo
debe tener y lo enferma, eructa, aumenta la flatulencia, acidez gstrica. No lo puede
digerir; acta como purgante y aparece diarrea. Tan mareada es la agravacin producida
por el azcar que el infante tendr diarrea verde si su madre come caramelos. Es
asombroso que el beb pueda tener una dosis dinamizada de su madre, cuando la dosis
dinamizada puede viajar como un rayo, y el azcar lleva todo un da ser digerida y
dinamizada y es como una comida venenosa para el beb? Recuerdo un caso que se
produjo, y continuaba. El beb defeca mercuriales efectivamente de color verde pasto.
Chamomilla trae materia fecal verde pasto y Arsenicum y Mercurius y muchos
remedios producen materia fecal verde pasto. Rutinario como era en aquellos das, no
pude conseguir otra cosa, sino Mercurius, y aunque el beb ingiri Merc., Ars. y Cham.
no se produjo alivio, hasta que descubr que su madre haba estado comiendo
caramelos. Cuando se le pregunt si ingera cosas dulces, azcar, etc., contest "Oh,
no". Su marido dijo: "por qu, si lo haces". Yo te llevo una libra de caramelos todos los
das. Qu haces con ellos? "Oh, eso no es nada", contest la seora. Pero el beb no
mejor hasta que ingiri Argentum nitricum y la madre dej de comer azcar.
"Irresistible deseo de ingerir azcar" Una buena cantidad de medicinas traen el ansia
por las cosas dulces, pero muchas de ellas tienen impunidad por ingerirlas. Constituye
siempre algo peculiar cuando un artculo de la dieta, tales como leche, azcar, sal,
fcula, etc., y las cosas de la mesa lo enferman. Cuando se dice "no puedo comer una
cucharada (de t) de cualquier cosa con fcula, huevo o azcar, sin enfermarme, esto es
siempre extrao y peculiar, porque esto no es algo que viene solamente como ansia o
afeccin del estmago, afecta a todo el paciente. El paciente dice: "Me enfermo", y aqu
esto es general. Cuando el paciente tiene diarrea por haber ingerido azcar, no es un
sntoma meramente local o particular, porque el paciente est enfermo antes que la
diarrea comience; la diarrea es un sntoma exterior. Ya que es un sntoma general es
necesario que se lo examine completamente, pues indudablemente es una anafilaxia por
el medicamento y la diarrea es una consecuencia de ese estado.
"Las substancias vomitadas tien la ropa de cama". Incesantes vmitos de comida. Algunas
veces escupe comida de la boca antes de que el estmago est lleno. Eructos de aire
acompaados de una porcin de comida no digerida, como en Phosphorus y Ferrum.
Escupe, escupe con la boca llena.
"Los eructos lo alivian". "La flatulencia pasa por.arriba, en cantidades". Frecuentes eructos,
que no siempre lo alivian. Es ms parecido a China en sus eructos. Los que provienen
de Carbo veg. lo alivian por algn tiempo y se siente mejor. Esta es la manera, con
Carbo veg. est distendido por los gases abdominales que no puede emitir, pero
finalmente luego de mucho penar y distensin el paciente eructa y siente alivio. Con
China est distendido, y a cada momento emite el gas, pero sin alivia. El remedio
parece no ayudarlo, y algunas veces el paciente dir que le parece sentirse peor despus
de haberlo tomado. As pasa con Argentum nitricum por momentos. El remedio
evidentemente posee ambos. "La mayora de las dolencias gstricas van acompaadas
con vmitos". "Dificultades de vmitos, finalmente el aire sale afuera con gran
violencia". "Nuseas luego de cada comida; con esfuerzos y dificultad para vomitar"
He visto estos pacientes de Argentum nitricum vomitar y diarrea al mismo momento,
no vomitan un segundo y tienen diarrea el prximo, pero derraman de ambas maneras
con gran agotamiento como en el clera mrbido, muy relajados, postrados y dbiles.
"Vmitos, fluido marrn, floculento, como granos de caf".
El estmago, hgado y abdomen tienen muchos dolores. El abdomen distendido con todo
este trastorno de flatulencia. Inflamacin y ulceracin del estmago y mucha diarrea,
con copiosa flatulencia. Heces en nios pequeos, con materia fecal viscosa,
sanguinolenta y tenesmo. "Diarrea de nios despus del destete". Seudomembranas en
heces disentricas o depsitos; moldes como el recto, fibras de membrana, vienen con
la materia fecal. Materia fecal verde, mucosidad ftida con ruidos flatulentos por la
noche". "La orina pasa inconscientemente e ininterrumpidamente". "Urgencia de
orinar; la orina pasa menos fcilmente y libre". "Sangra la uretra; erecciones dolorosas;
gonorrea; Tiene gonorreas dolorososas con erecciones dolorosas en el sexo masculino.
En el sexo femenino la vagina es extremadamente dolorosa, y las partes externas estn
hinchadas; tumefaccin. La vagina se siente dolorida al orinar; secreciones
sanguinolentas. En el sexo masculino, aparece orquitis por supresin de descarga. En la
mujer ovaritis, inflamacin de todos los rganos plvicos. Gran dolor sobre toda la
pelvis. Sangre de la vagina. Ulceracin del tero. El coito es doloroso o imposible.
"Dolores como palos o tajos adentro o alrededor del tero", etc. Esta sensacin
prevalece siempre que hay lceras. "Prolapso con ulceracin del cuello". Hemorragias
de corta duracin; dolores fulminantes a travs del abdomen y del estmago.
Metrorragia. Molestias de mujeres nerviosas y durante el perodo menstrual.
Menstruaciones suprimidas o escasas. Dolores durante el embarazo.
Bajo los sntomas del corazn y el pulso: "Ansiedad con palpitacin y pulsaciones a travs
de todo el cuerpo". "Violentas palpitaciones debidas a las ms leves emociones
mentales o repentinos esfuerzos musculares. Las palpitaciones obligan a la paciente a
presionar fuertemente su mano contra el corazn para aliviarse. El trabajo del corazn
es irregular, intermitente," etc.
Dolores en la regin lumbar aparecen cuando est sentada, pero mejora cuando se levanta y
camina. Dolor en la espalda debido a flatulencia. Dolor intenso en la columna vertebral
y en la espalda durante la noche. Gran peso en la regin lumbar. Constituye un gran
remedio para ataxia locomotriz. Desasosiego.
Los sntomas nerviosos son muy numerosos. Temblor peridico del cuerpo. Corea, con
desgarramientos en las piernas. Convulsiones precedidas por gran desasosiego.
Nerviosismo, desfallecimiento, sensacin de temblor, etc.
Los sntomas del sueo son generales. Pesadillas angustiosas. Los sueos son horribles. Se
despierta con excitacin. Toda clase de extraos, horribles cosas durante el sueo.
Sueos de vicios y sucesos violentos, y todo le va a suceder a l. Sueos sobre amigos
que se van, etc.
Al despertarse en la maana los miembros se sienten con contusiones; dolor en el pecho,

etc. No puede dormir por la noche porque est muy nervioso.
Dolores en la cama de erisipelas. Mientras viaja, palpitaciones y ansiedad lo impulsan a

salir del vagn y caminar, rpido.
Erupciones purpreas, tal como aparece en las formas ms graves de escarlatina y

enfermedades cimticas.
El antdoto ms natural es Natrum muriaticum. Cuando hay ulceraciones donde la garganta,

o el cuello del tero o los prpados han sido cauterizados por Nitrato de Plata, estudie
Natrum mur. y vea si los sntomas del caso no justifican su administracin. Constituye
el antdoto ms comn.y natural para estas prcticas viciosas.
ARGENTUM NITRICUM (Paschero)
Es necesario ante todo que comprendamos bien el concepto de totalidad o de unidad

orgnica, sobre el que se basa esencialmente la visin clnica del enfermo en homeopata y la
interpretacin de las patogenesias medicamentosas.
Todos hemos asimilado, en nuestra formacin mdica, el concepto de totalidad del organismo
como una suma de tejidos u rganos de acuerdo con la biologa organicista, en que la clula
de Virchow era la unidad elemental que por agregacin compona el organismo. La unidad
funcional del todo orgnico se lograba por la correlacin reguladora del sistema nervioso.
Este concepto de unidad por correlacin ha sido superado por la moderna biologa que,
corroborando el vitalismo hahnemanniano, establece que la unidad funcional, o mejor dicho
la unidad vital, del organismo es anterior a la diferenciacin en rganos y funciones. Cada
estructura fisicoqumica diferenciada que constituye un rgano tiene una funcin especfica
imbuida de un sentido biolgico de totalidad. La reaccin de cada rgano o de cada sector
local de la economa expresa una intencin vital del individuo como totalidad. No existe una
correlacin que implica una cierta autonoma de cada funcin, sino una coordinacin que
seala una directiva previa, lo que en biologa se designa como entelequia o direccin. Esto
nos lleva a considerar los componentes somtico, anmico y espiritual del hombre.
La medicina organicista ha considerado al enfermo en su aspecto somtico exclusivo,

ahondando el anlisis fisiolgico de las estructuras fisicoqumicas. Pero en el hombre existen
tambin impulsos, instintos, afectos y sentimientos que constituyen los elementos del
llamado temperamento, modo de ser o principio vital, que tambin se conoce con el nombre
de alma. Las leyes de estos impulsos instintivos no son las que rigen los cambios o procesos
fisicoqumicos, sino las de la adaptacin, previsin y finalidad, es decir un propsito vital
que determina la forma y el comportamiento de los organismos.
Esta instancia o substrato biolgico existe en todos los animales superiores, con diferencia de
grado o cantidad en lo que se refiere al hombre. Pero una tercera capa es privativa de ste: el
espritu o entidad espiritual. En este nivel de organizacin compleja del ser humano se da un
fenmeno que la medicina ha debido afrontar sin postergar la dilacin impuesta por la ciencia
atomstica ya definitivamente superada, en el campo de la fsica, con la energa nuclear. Este
fenmeno es el del yo del individuo o conciencia de s mismo que con sus facultades de
razn y lgica se interpone entre el alma, con su contenido de afectos, sentimientos y
pasiones, y el mundo circundante. Es en esta capa espiritual donde el hombre toma
decisiones, ejercita su voluntad y realiza el desideralum humano por excelencia, el de la
libertad, meta suprema del espritu.
Estas tres capas o estratos no son ni independientes ni autnomas. Estn ntimamente

coordinadas en tal forma que constituyen una unidad indisoluble, siendo solo tres aspectos de
la misma energa vital, en jerarqua evolutiva, desde el determinismo fisicoqumico del
organismo, como expresin biolgica, hasta la autntica libertad, como expresin espiritual.
El alma y el espritu forman en conjunto la psique o el psiquismo del hombre, pero sin que se
separen del soma en el cual estn infundidas y del que reciben su energa.
Es a nivel del yo donde se producen los conflictos entre los impulsos, instintos, afectos y
sentimientos del alma, es decir, las tendencias temperamentales reducidas al erotismo y
agresividad y la realidad exterior del mundo circundante que detiene, impide, limita o
prohibe tales manifestaciones. Desde muy temprano, y sumando a cierto aporte congnito, se
desarrolla en el yo la llamada conciencia moral o supery, como resultado de la introyeccin
de la realidad en su forma de normas educativas, censura, interdiccin moral o dictados
culturales.
Entre esta autoridad representativa de la realidad ambiente y los instintos, afectos y
sentimientos que integran el alma se produce, a nivel del yo, la dura lucha de la adaptacin
emocional a la vida. Todo el drama humano de la enfermedad y la angustia se desarrolla en
ese campo de batalla sin tregua que es el yo, lmite intermediario entre el alma animal con
sus exigencias ertico-agresivas amorales y el espritu, capaz de trascendencia, que nos
seala desde nuestra mayor o menor conciencia moral, el inexorable camino hacia la
superacin espiritual. El resultado de esta puja es el desarrollo del carcter, que configura en
el individuo una frmula personal de conciliacin o resolucin del conflicto. Si el
temperamento es la forma de ser del hombre, de acuerdo con su modalidad afectiva
constitucional, el carcter es su forma de hacer o de actuar o conducirse, en el contacto con
el ambiente.
El estudio psquico del enfermo consiste en la escrutacin del carcter, frmula personal y
peculiar de resolver la actitud que el yo asume como actividad integradora, reguladora y
controladora entre las tendencias temperamentales y los estmulos externos.
En homeopata el sntoma adquiere valor de unidad o de totalidad cuando est precedido, en

la expresin del enfermo, por el vocablo "yo". Empricamente se ha reconocido que las
perturbaciones del yo, en sus sensaciones, cenestesias, sentimientos, ideas, carcter y
conducta, revelan la ecuacin mrbida del sujeto enfermo. Pero poco o nada se ha dicho para
definir al yo y comprender sus funciones. Hoy, gracias a la psicologa profunda tenemos el
concepto claro de que la funcin primordial del yo es la percepcin, adaptacin y actuacin
sobre la realidad y que la integracin, armonizacin, unificacin y regulacin del individuo
en sus diversas instancias, soma, psique y espritu, se efecta a nivel del yo. Esto nos lleva a
la conviccin de que si el mtodo esencial para conocer el yo es escrutarlo en su relacin con
el mundo, el examen clnico ms importante para conocer la individualidad personal del
enfermo es el examen del carcter, tomando como esquema intelectual para comprenderlo, la
superposicin funcional del soma, el alma y el espritu. La anamnesis dialogada, la
conversacin, la confesin, el anlisis profundo de todas las reacciones del yo, con sus
formaciones caracterolgicas y sus mecanismos de defensa en el contacto afectivo con el
ambiente humano que lo circunda, es imprescindible para la comprensin del enfermo y para
la comprensin del medicamento, que es tambin un enfermo.
Hemos dicho que todo medicamento que es capaz de dar manifestaciones de carcter, es
decir, alteraciones de la psicodinamia de la personalidad, es un remedio profundo, es el
llamado policresto porque toca el centro del individuo desde el cual se desgrana hacia el
soma la dinmica mrbida.
Cul es el carcter de Argentum nitricum?
Como medicamento sifiltico produce manifestaciones destructivas del sistema nervioso

electivamente a nivel de la corteza, asiento anatmico del yo. Pero antes de la lesin
anatmica, existe el deterioro o destruccin funcional de la personalidad. La funcin cardinal
del yo, de integracin de la vida personal, de armonizacin entre los impulsos y necesidades
instintivos y la realidad externa, est seriamente comprometida y al paciente le falta la
coordinacin de las distintas tendencias y actividades de su personalidad. La homeostasis o
sincronizacin armnica de todas las funciones vitales del soma y de la psique se ha
quebrado, por alteracin de la funcin reguladora del yo. El enfermo tiene un yo dbil,
incapaz de sntesis, con el sentimiento de hallarse a merced de sus impulsos agresivos que lo
empujan a precipitarse desde una altura, a lanzarse en el vaco, o que le acometer un mal
inevitable, una enfermedad grave, ser objeto de convulsiones, morir indefectiblemente, o
se volver loco. Incapaz de controlar sus ideas, es preso de todos los temores, fobias y
aprensiones. Es un obsesivo que cree que al pasar una esquina caer desmayado o que algo
le suceder cuando va a alguna parte por lo que le acomete la diarrea.
As como Lachesis proyecta su agresividad hacia el mundo exterior y se cree perseguido o

como Aurum sufre el impacto de los impulsos de muerte sobre su yo, creando la ansiedad
culpable de conciencia, Argentum nitricum se encuentra inerme ante los mismos impulsos e,
incapaz de dominarlos, se siente embargado por el miedo, la ansiedad y la agitacin
quedando paralizado por la melancola hipocondraca o tratando de huir de s mismo y
desarrollando esa actitud de escape, de huida, con agitacin y apuro como si temiera llegar
tarde, que traduce ms bien miedo a ser alcanzado por un enemigo interior que lo acosa.
En este sentido presenta semejanza con Mercurius, quien hallndose a merced de sus
instintos, que lo urgen a matar o suicidarse ante la vista de un instrumento cortante, no sabe
qu hacer, se mueve constantemente como si quisiera huir de s mismo, trata de irse lejos, de
huir, como si fuera culpable de un crimen.
Comparando caracterolgicamente los medicamentos sifilticos que llevamos estudiados,

podemos identificar a Mercurius como el de mayor tendencia amoral, con mayores impulsos
a destruir al prjimo, vctima de sus impulsos agresivos e incapaz de controlarlos.
A Aurum como un melanclico culpable, vctima ms bien de la constante presin de su

conciencia. A Lachesis, como un paranoico que proyecta su hostilidad destructiva sobre los
dems, creyndose perseguido con propsitos de muerte o bajo el dominio de un poder
sobrehumano. A Nitricum acidum como un agresivo en derrota, que libera sin trabas su
agresividad, inculpa, maldice e insulta a los dems como causantes de su destruccin. A
Argentum nitricum como un miedoso con ansiedad por la irrupcin de sus propios impulsos y
la debilidad de su yo para contrarrestarlos, por lo que ste pierde su capacidad de control
regulador y se desorganiza.
Pero aunque el carcter bien comprendido de cada medicamento nos d la mejor pauta para
identificarlo, debemos coordinarlo con las caractersticas somticas en su cenestesia
general, determinadas por las manifestaciones neurovegetativas:
Mercurius se empeora por las temperaturas extremas -el calor de la cama-. Empeora por la
transpiracin. Tiene el olor ftido -mercurial caracterstico-, la boca nauseabunda.
Aurum es friolento en invierno, con tendencia congestiva, sanguneo aparente. Con eretismo
del aparato circulatorio. Palpitaciones violentas, llamaradas.
Lachesis: es caluroso, agravado en primavera por el sol, por el encierro. Agravado por toda
supresin de secreciones. Despus del sueo, a la maana. Por la constriccin, el contacto.
Nitricum acidum: es friolento, agravado por los cambios de tiempo. Con los excreta
irritantes, excoriantes y ftidos, inflamacin electiva de los orificios mucosos con sensacin
de espina enclavada y orina con olor a orina de caballo.
Argentum nitricum es un caluroso con necesidad de aire libre, empeorado en cmara caliente
y cerrada, agravado por los alimentos azucarados, con inflamacin electiva de las mucosas
del aparato digestivo.
Las manifestaciones somticas, que expresan la reaccin general del organismo junto a la
alteracin funcional electivamente determinada por una particular estigmatizacin vegetativa,
se hallan coordinadas a una especial reaccin caracterolgica.
La vinculacin de ambos aspectos del enfermo, el somtico y el caracterolgico, producto

este ltimo de la pugna entre sus tendencias anmicas , deseos, ambiciones y necesidades y la
realidad externa, es un hecho emprico ajustado a una lgica que an se nos escapa. El hecho
es que las vicisitudes de los instintos, determinantes del carcter, se expresan a travs de la
conducta y del cuerpo o soma, en una reaccin total y nica de todo el individuo, sin dejar de
participar coordinadamente ningn aspecto, somtico, anmico o espiritual del todo humano.
Cuando las modernas investigaciones de los factores psicodinmicos en la etiologa de la

lcera de estmago nos dicen que el ulceroso es un tipo de personalidad caracterizada por la
ansiedad debida a la interdiccin de su conciencia moral, por la agresividad que ha
desarrollado en compensacin a su excesiva dependencia infantil que lo lleva a renunciar a
todo control y a regresar al estado en que debe ser cuidado y alimentado como un beb, nos
describe exactamente el sndrome mental de Argentum nitricum: el hombre con miedo,
aprensin y ansiedad, que se esfuerza, con su agitacin y apuro, a compensar agresivamente
su incapacidad para controlar sus impulsos y que cae en la desorganizacin de su yo, dando
lugar a una ataxia o incoordinacin, primero de su psiquismo y despus de su aparato
digestivo gstrico, para culminar en la ataxia locomotriz sifiltica.
ARGENTUM NITRICUM (Farrington)
Argentum nitricum, tiene relacin con Nitricum acidum y Arsenicum. Con Plumbum y
Cuprum. Con Zincum. Su antdoto es Natrum muriaticum.
Argentum nitricum o nitrato de plata, en su accin sobre el cerebro y la mdula, nos

proporciona un conjunto de sntomas que nos llevan a la aplicacin de este medicamento
en muchas formas de afecciones nerviosas, desde la simple debilidad hasta la ataxia
locomotriz y la parlisis. Entre las sensaciones anormales que produce, encontramos las
siguientes, que son caractersticas de la droga; un sntoma general, muy comn y que
puede existir en la cefalalgia, en las afecciones del ovario y en muchas otras
enfermedades, es una sensacin de como si el cuerpo o alguna regin estuviera
ensanchndose. En el caso de la cefalalgia el enfermo expermenta una sensacin de como
si la cabeza fuera demasiado grande; algunas veces, en las afecciones del ovario, siente
como si la parte inflamada estuviera demasiado crecida y sin embargo, al exmen no se
encuentra el agrandamiento del rgano afectado. Encontramos este sntoma en varias
drogas, pero sin embargo, es muy prominente en Argentum nitricum. El vrtigo caso
siempre se presenta en este medicamento y va acompaado de debilidad general y temblor
por debilidad nerviosa. El enfermo vacila y titubea como si estuviera intoxicado. El
vrtigo es tan intenso, que a veces el enfermo llega a cegarse momentneamente, habiendo
adems confusin mental, zumbido de odos, nusea y temblor. El paciente sufre de
ansiedad mental; es muy impulsivo; desea estar siempre ocupado y sin embargo nada
puede hacer. Est sujeto a frecuentes errores de percepcin; se apresura con inquietud a
cumplir una cita y piensa que llegar demasiado tarde, cuando en realidad tiene tiempo de
sobra. En algunos casos hay profunda melancola; se imagina que si est solo morir; se
preocupa pensando que tiene una enfermedad cerebral incurable. Constantemente comete
errores al calcular las distancias; por ejemplo, cuando camina una cuadra, teme pasar una
esquina, porque le parece proyectarse y cree chocar con ella. Todos estos errores se
refieren a la imperfecta coordinacin de los msculos. Este ltimo sntoma no es
imaginario, ha sido encontrado en gran nmero de ocasiones y curado por Argentum
nitricum.
Esta defectuosa coordinacin de los msculos es un sntoma prominente en la ataxia

locomotriz, para cuyo tratamiento los alpatas han empleado desde hace muchos aos,
como uno de sus ms valiosos medicamentos el Argentum nitricum. Tambin nosotros
podremos utilizarlo cuando los sntomas siguientes lo indiquen: el enfermo titubea en la
obscuridad o cuando tiene cerrados los ojos; las piernas estn dbiles y los muslos se
sienten como magullados, como si hubiera caminado mucho. Hay una sensacin de
irritacin en la regin sacro-lumbar; dolor en la parte baja de la espalda, muy intenso, al
levantarse despus de estar sentado, mejorndose bastante por caminar; en Zincum
tambin se mejora por caminar y se empeora por sentarse. La diferencia entre los dos
medicamentos, es que en Argentum nitricum se siente el dolor al levantarse; algunas veces
hay dolor en las articulaciones sacro-ilacas, con una sensacin de como si los huesos
estuvierna flojos. En esto es semejante a Aesculus hipocastanum. Otro sntoma en el que
deseo hacer hincapi es el temblor de manos, que obliga al enfermo a dejar caer las cosas.
Por la noche est muy nervioso; al dormirse, tiene toda clase de sueos horribles: los
sntomas nerviosos se empeora sobre todo a las once de la maana.
Desde luego veremos las semejanzas entre Argentum nitricum, Kali bromatum y
Nattum muriaticum. La debilidad nerviosa con palpitacin es la exacta imagen del

estado de Natrum muriaticum; la mana del temor y preocupacin el imaginarse que no
puede pasar solo por cierto lugar, nos recuerda a Kali bromatum.
Hay adems sntomas menos graves que indican a Argentum nitricum, y uno de ellos
es lo que podemos llamar parlisis funcional, tal como la que sigue a las enfermedades
agotantes, la parlisis post-diftrica, por ejemplo. Gelsemium es aqu un medicamento
concordante de Argentum nitricum.
Otras afecciones nerviosas para las que podemos hacer uso de Argentum nitricum, son
las siguientes: es uno de nuestros mejores medicamentos para la hemicrnea; sta no es
una simple neuralga; es una afeccin neurtica arraigada y por algn motivo se le supone
ser de naturaleza epilptica; se presenta perodicamente; para curala, el medicamento que
estudiamos es uno de los mejores. Con frecuencia hay una cefalalgia terebrante, peor en la
eminencia frontal izquierda. Esta sensacin perforante es mejorada por un vendaje
apretado, por lo que se alivia por usar una gorra ajustada. El dolor es despertado por
cualquier emocin mental desagradable o cualquiera circunstancia que deprima el sistema
nervioso, como la prdida de fludo, la privacin del sueo o un esfurezo mental. Algunas
veces los dolores llegan a ser tan intensos, que el enfermo pierde la conciencia. Los
parxismos, en su grado culminante, con frecuencia producen vmitos biliosos o de
substancias slidas.
Hay otra forma de cefalalgia que es principalmente neurlgica y para la que Argentum
nitricum es el medicamento. Los huesos de la cabeza se sienten como si estuvieran
separndose y la cabeza se siente como agrandada notablemente. Los dolores aumentan a
tal grado, que el paciente pierde el conocimiento. Estos accesos terminan por vmito,
probablemente para presentarse una vez ms despus de algunos minutos o una hora.
Tambin nos encontramos indicado a Argentum nitricum en la prosopalgia,

particularmente cuando las ramas infraorbitarias del quinto par y los nervios que van a los
dientes, son afectados. El dolor es muy intenso y en su mximum va acompaado de un
desagradable sabor agrio. Los dolores son del mismo carcter a los ya descritos para la
hemicrnea. No creo que este sabor agrio sea de origen gstrico, sino que es debido a una
anomala o a un desarreglo de los nervios del sentido del gusto. La cara, casi en todos
estos casos, est plida y hundida y ms bien cetrina que plida, y en caso extremo,
cuando la sangre est muy afectada, la superficie del cuerpo toma un tinte plomizo sucio.
Nos encontramos tambin indicado a Argentum nitricum en esa desagradable afeccin,

la gastraligia, que es una neurosis gstrica. Est indicado especialmente en las mujeres
nerviosas delicadas. La gastralgia es despertada por cualquiera emocin, prdida del sueo
y con frecuencia en la poca de las reglas. Hay una sensacin en el estmago, como si ah
se tuviera una bola. Esto va acompaado algunas veces por un dolor ulcerativo, localizado
en el epigastrio. Desde este pundo, los dolores irradian en todas direcciones; parecen
aumentar y decrecer gradualmente, como sucede en Stannum. Con esto hay
frecuentemente un espasmo intenso de los msculos del pecho; el paciente no puede
soportar un pauelo cerca de la boca, porque le provocar disnea. No puede soportar el
ms insignificante alimento, porque el dolor se intensifica. Algunas veces el dolor se
mejora por doblarse y ejercer una fuerte presin con la mano en el estmago. Los
parxismos terminan en vmitos de moco gleroso, que puede ser expulsado en filamentos,
o lo que es ms comn, van acompaados de enorme cantidad de aire. El paciente, durante
largo tiempo no puede eructar, pero cuando logra hacerlo el gas sale en enorme cantidad.
Esto, frecuentemente va acompaado de temblor general, de una sensacin nerviosa de
como si la cabeza fuera comprimida en una prensa.
En esto el aliado ms cercano de Argentum nitricum es Bismuthum, que est indicado

en la gastralga nerviosa esencial. La principal distincin entre Argentum nitricum y
Bismuthum, radica en el vmito; tan pronto como el alimento llega al estmago, es
arrojado en Bismuth.
Otra afeccin nerviosa en la que Argentum nitricum est indicado, es en la epilepsia; el
sntoma caracterstico que lo indica es el siguiente: horas o das antes del ataque las
pupilas se ponen muy dilatadas; despus el enfermo queda muy inquieto y con temblor de
manos. Estar indicado sobre todo en la epilepsia originada por un susto o que se presenta
durante la menstruacin. Tambin podremos hacer uso de Argentum nitricum en las
convulsiones puerperales, cuando en el intervalo de los ataques la enferma est muy
inquieta y molesta, movindose de un lado a otro.
Argentum nitricum puede estar indicado en la angina de pecho; el enfermo se queja de

un intenso dolor en el pecho y sobre todo, en el corazn; apenas puede respirar.
Tambin lo encontraremos indicado en el asma esencialmente nervioso; hay espasmos

de los msculos respiratorios; la disnea es marcada y empeora en una pieza en donde haya
mucha gente.
Dejando a un lado la accin de Argentum nitricum sobre el sistema nervioso, veamos

su uso en las inflamaciones y ulceraciones. En este captulo, estudiaremos desde luego su
indicacin en las afecciones de los ojos. Argentum nitricum cura la oftalm purulenta, y
con esto quiero que se desarrollen la ulceracin o el pus. El pus es grueso, amarillento y
blando. Presta utilidad en la oftalma neonatorum, cuando el pus es del carcter antes
mencionado y abundante. Estar indicado sobre todo, despus del fracaso de Pulsatilla o
Mercurius.
Tambin puede usarse en la oftalma purulenta de los adultos, cuando el pus es del
carcter ya indicado; como en Pulsatilla, los sntomas se mejoran al aire libre y llegan a
hacerse intolerables en una habitacin caliente. En la oftalma purulenta, Pulstatilla es un
ntimo aliado de Argentum nitricum; notaremos que tanto uno como otro producen
descarga abundante, gruesa, blanda y purulenta; ambos tiene mejora por el aire fresco. Se
ha determinado clnicamente que cuando Argentum nitricum, deja de obrar, una dosis de
Pulsatilla intercalada activa la curacin.
Podemos hacer uso de Argentum nitricum en la blefaritis, cuando hay costras gruesas
sobre los prpados y supuracin e induracin de los tejidos; la crnea misma llega a
afectarse por la inflamacin. El calor del fuego empeora notablemente al enfermo. Estos
sntomas los encontraremos en Mercurius.
La conjuntivitis granulosa tambin requiere el empleo de Argentum nitricum; la

conjuntiva se pone casi de color escarlata y hay un flujo muco-purulento muy abundante.
Rhus toxicodendron es muy semejante a Argentum nitricum, pero tiene ms sntomas

espasmdicos; los ojos se cierran por el espasmo de los prpados y cuando se hace fuerza
por abrirlos, salen en abundancia lgrimas quemantes, dando origen a la formacin de
vesculas alrededor de los ojos.
Euphrasia tiene una accin semejante en los prpados granulosos; difiere de
Argentum nitricum en lo siguiente: la descarga es purulenta y excoriante, y adems hay
lagrimeo excoriante.
Kreosotum puede ser usado en la inflamacin de los prpados, ya se trate de nios o de

adultos. Hay produccin de lgrimas calientes, escaldantes, presentndose muy de
maana.
Argentum nitricum puede ser empleado en la astenopa por defecto de acomodacin.

El trabajo ms ligero perjudica los ojos.
Tratando ahora de su accin sobre las mucosas de la boca y la garganta, nos

encontramos que Argentum nitricum produce una rubicundez obscura de la fauces y del
velo del paladar. Se acumula un moco grueso en la garganta y el enfermo experimenta una
sensacin de como si ah le molestara una astilla. Juntamente con sto, puede haber
ulceracin. La causa puede ser el mercurio, la sfilis o la escrfula. Las papilas de la
lengua estn elevadas. Las encas estn delicadas y sangran con facilidad, pero rara vez
estn elevadas. Las encas estn delicadas y sangran con facilidad, pero rara vez estn
hinchadas, lo que constituye una distincin entre este medicamento y Mercurio. Con
frecuencia hay sensacin de una astilla en la garganta como en Nitricum acidum, Alumina,
etc.
La laringe tambin sufre la accin de Argentum nitricum. Hay una expectoracin

muco-purulenta, pareciendo proceder de la parte posterior de la laringe. Tambin hay
enronquecimiento notable y algunas veces prdida de la voz. Los cantantes se quejan con
frecuencia de una sensacin de como si algn cuerpo extrao obstruyera las cuerdas
vocales.
Manganum es semejante a Argentum nitricum, en sus sntomas laringeos,

particularmente en los pacientes anmicos o tuberculosos. La ronquera generalmente
empeora en la maana y mejora cuando los pacientes llegan a arrojar la flema. El enfermo
de Manganum tiene tos por leer en voz alta, con resequedad dolorosa y aspereza en la
laringe. La tos generalmente se mejora por acostarse.
Selenium tambin es semejante a Argentum nitricum.
Pars quadrifolia es un medicamento que descuidamos en las afecciones de la laringe.

Nos lo encontramos indicado cuando la expectoracin se produce sobre todo en la maana
y es tenaz y de color verde.
Argentum nitricum puede ser usado en las ulceraciones del cuello del tero, cuando
est engrosado e indurado, con flujo amarillo, abundante, excoriante, sangrando con
frecuencia los puntos ulcerados.
Ahora deseo referirme a la accin de Argentum nitricum sobre los riones, pues vale la
pena dar inters a este medicamento en su accin. Creo que fu el Dr. Preston, de
Norristown, quien emple la droga en estos casos. La daba con frecuencia en la nefralgia
por congestin de los riones o por el paso de los clculos. La cara toma un tinte bastante
obscuro y tiene un aspecto enjuto; hay un dolor sordo que cruza la parte baja del dorso y
tambin sobre la regin de la vijiga. La orina arde al parsar y la uretra se siente como
hinchada; hay deseo repentino de orinar; la orina es obscura y contiene sangre o epitelios
renales y un sedimento de cido rico. Es de utilidad sobre todo, cuando Cantharis, que
pareca indicado, falla.
Deberemos pensar en Nitricum acidum para los clculos urinarios, cuando la orina
contiene cido oxlico y cuando esta substancia es el principal ingrediente de la piedra.
Finalmente tengo que hablar de la accin de Argentum nitricum sobre los intestinos.
Aqu es muy semejante a Arsenicum; las evacuaciones son verdes, con pequeos jirones y
contienen sangre, flemas y epitelios. A menudo va asociada a descarga de muchos gases y
con frecuencia es provocada por el uso del azcar. Est indicado especialmente cuando la
diarrea sigue a cualquiera excitacin, tal como un susto o cuando la imaginacin se pone
en juego. Hay tendencia a las evacuaciones por la menor cantidad de alimento o bebida.
En el clera infantil est indicado en los nios delgados que se agotan rpidamente, de
aspecto desecado y casi como momias. Las piernas se ven como si estuvieran constitudas
por el slo hueso y la piel. Las evacuaciones son verdes y glerosas; hay gases ruidosos y
empeoran por la noche.
Natrum muriaticum es el medicamento apropiado para antidotizar el abuso de

Argentum nitricum o despus de los efectos de la cauterizacin por esta droga en estado
natural.

Caractersticas.- Fue el uso de Argentum nit. en viejos tiempos, en el tratamiento de la

epilepsia que llev a la produccin de casos lamentables de pigmentacin de color
plomo en la piel, llamada Argiria. Experiencia homeoptica ha demostrado el uso del
medicamento en muchos casos de epilepsia y la necesidad de emplear una dosis que no
tuviera ningn riesgo. Los casos de epilepsia que indican este medicamento son los
causados por susto, o que se presentan en el perodo menstrual. Por das o por horas
antes del ataque, las pupilas estn dilatadas, y despus del ataque el paciente est muy
inquieto y tiene temblor de las manos.
Entre los principales sntomas de Arg. nit. estn: Gran temblor. Sensacin nerviosa;
sensacin que estuviera apretado por una prensa. Sensacin de constriccin en varias
partes, como si una banda de acero rodeara el pecho o la cintura. Una sensacin como
si el cuerpo o alguna parte del cuerpo estuviera expandida. Migraa con sensacin
como si la cabeza estuviera enormemente crecida; > vendada apretada. Defectos en la
coordinacin. Parlisis del movimiento y sensaciones; un entumecimiento peculiar
acompaado de hiperestesia. Sensacin de una astilla que se encaja en varias partes.
Sensacin de ardor. Gowers ha registrado un caso en que el uso de Arg. nit. en
trastornos del estmago causaron (como el plomo) mano pndula, gota y albuminuria.
En la prctica aloptica la dispepsia para la que se da es < antes de alimentos, cuando el
estmago est vaco. El estado opuesto es la indicacin principal en la prctica
homeoptica. E. P. Brewer (Hahn. Monthly, July, 1883) registr una experimentacin,
(el experimentador, un hombre joven, tom por tres das consecutivos un grano al da
de Arg. nit. triturado en azcar de leche), en que un nmero de sntomas motores y
sensoriales fueron producidos, recordando al Dr. Brewer la ataxia locomotriz, en que se
haba usado con xito por los mdicos de la antigua escuela. Este uso tambin lo llev
en muchos de argiria. Entre los sntomas de los experimentadores estuvieron:
"Operaciones mentales lentas; pensamientos continuos requeran esfuerzo especial,
pero el esfuerzo de la mente no agravaba la pesadez y llenura de la cabeza.
Extremidades inferiores (lumbar, sacro y particularmente el gastronemio) fatigados;
como si ellos sbitamente le fallaran. Prdida de ambicin. Construye castillos en el
aire en el da: sueos monstruosos en la noche." Otro sntoma peculiar fue: escalofro
que bajaba en la espalda, empezando cerca del occipucio, extendindose a la punta del
cccix, a medioda todos los das; > por el calor; a las 5 p.m. escalofro se calma, sin
sudor, pero somnolencia profunda, sin sueo pero encantado con imgenes vvidas:
sigue calor ardiente. Hay ardor en un lugar enfrente del recto, probablemente en la
prstata. Miccin ms frecuente, ardor en la uretra. La cefalea era > por Act. r . En una
experimentacin por m mismo, uno de los sntomas ms marcados fue una clase de
sensacin de entumecimiento de la piel de los brazos un estado de hiperestesia y
anestesia, aumenta la sensibilidad al contacto, pero disminuye el poder de distinguir
sensaciones. Otros sntomas fueron garganta inflamada con placas blancas, dolores
reumticos en mueca izquierda (que desde entonces lo he confirmado) y articulaciones
de los dedos, con sensibilidad externa de prominencias seas, dolor al levantarse en la
unin sacro-iliaca derecha. Adolorimiento de los msculos del cuello y espalda.
Lugares de urticaria en varias partes. En casos de envenenamiento, prdida completa de
la conciencia, insensibilidad y convulsiones, se han presentado. Algunos de los
sntomas digestivos notables son: "Irresistible deseo de azcar." "Lquidos pasan a
travs de l." Eructos acompaan la mayor parte de las afecciones gstricas. Heces
verdes son muy marcadas. "Mucosidad verde como espinacas picadas, en pedacitos."
"Heces se vuelven verdes despus de un tiempo en el paal." "Heces expelidas en
chorro." "Heces desmenuzadas, rojas, linfo-mucosa verde o sustancia epitelial." Hay un
dolor lumbar, > al pararse, o caminar, pero severo cuando se levanta de un asiento.
(Sulphur, Caust. ) Arg. nit. tiene un deseo irresistible por azcar, que al mismo tiempo
lo agrava. Kent relata un caso que lo ilustra. Un infante en lactancia, tena diarrea verde
como pasto que no ceda a Merc., Ars., Cham. Al final Kent descubri que la madre
coma una libra de dulces al da. Se le dio Arg. nit. y se le suspendi el dulce y el nio
pronto estuvo bien. Catarro intestinal con secreciones membranosas desmenuzadas,
frecuentemente se curan con Arg. nit.
Una peculiaridad mental es la aprensin y el temor: cuando est listo para ir a la iglesia,
etc., aparece diarrea. Temor que se caigan las esquinas de los edificios y construcciones

See Skinner's pamphlet on Diseases of Women.
After the short proving of the 15th centesimal by Hahnemann (see his Materia Medica,
1813), it was not proved until Dr. J. O. Mller proved it and published one of the most
learned treatises in medical literature, in 1845, in the Austrian Journal, under Watzke's
editorship.
See Vol.
2, 1846, page 1 to 112.
The late Grauvogl, who made it a kind of polychrest, supposed that the silver united with
the chlorine always contained in water.

II., 315.
This could only be ascertained by a proving of Argemt mur., like that commenced by Dr.
Lembke, Neue Zeitschrift fr Klinik, Vol.
II., contained in Allen's Encyclopedia, Vol.

hacer all, y lo manda de nuevo a su casa. Todo esto lo declara entre un algo delirante y
un poco irritado.
*** 2- Temor a que se le acerquen, por temor a que lo toquen. Llegan a tal extremo esos

grandes sufrimientos) (Kent).
*** 3- Estado estuporoso (en estados febriles infecciosos, tifoideos o de origen traumtico)
que puede llegar a la inconsciencia, especialmente durante la fiebre o al erguirse de estar

afecciones agudas como crnicas. Las consecuencias de los traumas es otra prueba de la
verdad de nuestra ley de curacin. Uno de sus mejores sntomas caractersticos es que "Todo
aquello sobre lo que est acostado parece demasiado duro" (Pyrogenium) y debe cambiar
sin cesar de posicin para obtener alivio. Esto se debe a la sensacin de dolor, como si
estuviera magullado por todas partes.
Baptisia tiene la "sensacin de que estuviera acostado sobre una tabla; cambia de
posicin porque la cama le parece tan dura que lo hace sentir dolorido y magullado."
Phytolacca tiene la "sensacin de dolor en todo el cuerpo, desde la cabeza hasta los
pies; los msculos estn dolorosos y rgidos, apenas puede moverse sin gemir."
Rhus toxicodendron tiene "dolor en todos los msculos que desaparece durante el
movimiento; se siente rgido y dolorido al comenzar a moverse."
Ruta tiene la sensacin de que "todas las partes del cuerpo sobre las que descansa se
hallan doloridas, como si estuvieran magulladas."
He aqu cinco remedios que parecen asemejarse mucho entre s y podramos agregar
todava otros, como Staphisagria, que tiene la sensacin de que "todos sus miembros estn
doloridos como si se hallaran magullados y como si estuvieran sin fuerzas", y tambin
China, que est "toda dolorida lo mismo las articulaciones que los huesos y el periostio,
como si hubiera sufrido esguinces, con dolor como de tironeamiento y de desgarradura,
especialmente en la columna vertebral, en el sacro en las rodillas y en los muslos."
El conocimiento hasta este punto de esos remedios no tendra mayor utilidad para los
fines teraputicos, porque sera insensato prescribir todos esos medicamentos juntos, como
igualmente lo sera el prescribir uno de ellos con exclusin de todos los restantes sin una
buena razn para hacerlo. Afortunadamente siempre existe la posibilidad de efectuar una
eleccin entre ellos, pero no siempre es fcil. Tomemos, por ejemplo, a Arnica y Baptisia.
Ambos tienen el sntoma de sensacin dolorosa de magulladura. En ambos existe la
sensacin de que la cama fuera demasiado dura. Ambos presentan estupor del cual puede
sacarse al enfermo, pero rpidamente vuelve a caer en l. Ambos tienen una raya oscura que
se extiende a todo lo largo de la lengua. Ambos ofrecen la cara rojo sombra, y todas esas
similitudes a menudo se presentan en el curso de una fiebre tifoidea.
Cmo haremos para elegir entre ellos?. Ahondemos la investigacin. Si adems de

aquellos sntomas el enfermo "se mueve agitadamente en la cama, cambia frecuentemente de
posicin y en su delirio se lamenta de que no puede reunir y poner juntas sus diversas
partes", el remedio es Baptisia, o tambin lo es igualmente si las heces, la orina y el sudor
son extremadamente ftidos. Pero si las heces y la orina escapan inconscientemente y
aparecen equimosis debajo de la piel, el remedio es Arnica. He aqu slo unas pocas de las
diferencias caractersticas, pero existen otras y nosotros debemos "buscarlas". No es ms
difcil elegir entre estos dos remedios que escoger algunas veces entre Hyosciamus y Opium
para la misma enfermedad. Este es el lugar en que el mdico viejo podra exhortar al joven,
como Pablo exhort a Timoteo: "Procura con diligencia presentarte aprobado, como obrero
que no tiene de qu avergonzarse, que distribuye sabiamente la palabra de la verdad..." (Esta
cita corresponde al contenido parcial del versculo 15, captulo 2, de la Segunda Epstola de
San Pablo a Timoteo). Una prescripcin de tal manera estricta, exige naturalmente trabajo,
pero tambin promete xito.
Si me encontrara ante un caso que tuviera la sensacin de magulladura de manera

bien marcada en conexin con una difteria farngea, no dara Arnica, porque sta no tiene ese
tipo de garganta, pero s lo tiene Phytolacca, lo mismo que este otro sntoma de Arnica:
calor y enrojecimiento de la cabeza y de la cara, en tanto que el tronco y los miembros estn
frescos o fros. He encontrado numerosos casos de esta forma de difteria y si prescriba
Phytolacca desde el comienzo, lograba curarlos sin ayuda de ningn otro remedio.
Adems, si encontrara un paciente aquejado de la sensacin de dolor y magulladura,

en el que este estado hubiera sobrevenido por mojarse mientras se hallaba transpirando o por
haber estado acostado sobre un suelo hmedo o entre sabanas hmedas o por causa de un
esfuerzo muscular excesivo, el remedio indicado sera Rhus toxicodendron.
Si en caso de un traumatismo real hallara que la contusin afect el periostio o el

hueso, esperara ms beneficio de Ruta y que tambin parece ser superior a Rhus
toxicodendron en una variedad de esfuerzo muscular: el esfuerzo del msculo ciliar. He
mejorado a menudo a costureras y estudiantes con dolores en los ojos debidos a esa causa y
algunas veces pudieron prescindir de los anteojos prescriptos por el oculista. Es mucho ms
conveniente el empleo de este remedio en un caso de debilitamiento del poder de
acomodacin, que el procurar compensarlo artificialmente con el uso de lentes.
Naturalmente, esto no es posible cuando el defecto de la visin es de naturaleza puramente
ptica.
De esta manera podramos continuar describiendo los sntomas diagnsticos entre

todos los diversos remedios que tienen en comn un sntoma similar, si dispusiramos de
tiempo y espacio, pero no es esto lo mejor que podramos hacer, porque cada mdico debe
adquirir el hbito de efectuarlo por s mismo.
-Adems de todo lo que hemos dicho acerca del gran valor de la sensacin de dolor
como si estuviera magullado, se debe pensar siempre en Arnica para las afecciones agudas o
crnicas que son consecuencias de traumas. Entre stas mencionaremos la conmocin, la
fractura del crneo con compresin cerebral, las cefaleas de antigua data, la meningitis, la
apopleja, la inflamacin ocular con extravasaciones y an hemorragias retinianas en las que
favorece la resorcin de los cogulos sanguneos, la sordera, la epistaxis, los dientes
recientemente obturados y las afecciones resultantes de golpes sobre el estmago u otras
vsceras.
En cierta ocasin cur a un hombre que estaba sufriendo desde haca varios aos de lo
que l y su mdico haban denominado dispepsia. Se haba visto precisado a abandonar su
trabajo porque no poda comer lo suficiente como para mantener sus fuerzas. Su mdico le
haba dicho que jams podra estar de nuevo sano e incluso l haba perdido toda esperanza.
Esta afeccin haba sido causada por la coz de un caballo sobre la regin epigstrica. Unas
pocas dosis de Arnica 200 lo curaron en poco tiempo y pudo reintegrarse a sus ocupaciones.
-Quiero concluir la descripcin de Arnica con la enumeracin de algunos sntomas

caractersticos que son genuinos y que han sido para m de un valor inestimable.
"Estupor con escape involuntario de materia fecal y orina."

"Miedo de ser golpeado o tocado por las personas que se le acercan."
"Olor ptrido de la boca."
"Eructos o gases intestinales ftidos, que huelen a huevos podridos."
"Sensacin dolorosa de magulladura en la regin uterina, que no le permite caminar

erguida."
"Dolor de los rganos genitales despus del parto; previene las hemorragias y la
piohemia."
"Tos; el nio llora antes de los accesos, como si sintiera dolor."
"Mientras est respondiendo a la pregunta entra en un profundo estupor antes de

haber terminado la respuesta."
"Slo la cabeza o solo la cara, estn calientes; el resto del cuerpo, fresco."
"Numerosos fornculos pequeos y dolorosos, uno tras otro, extremadamente

sensibles."
"Previene la supuracin y la septicemia y favorece la resorcin."
Arnica, a pesar de ser un remedio muy antiguo, no es utilizado con la frecuencia

debida en la prctica general.
ARNICA MONTANA (Lathoud)
Familia : Compuestas, vulgarmente llamada Tabaco de los VOSGOS o Betonia de las

montaas por la propiedad estornudante de sus flores. Rizoma pardo oscuro que crece
principalmente en terrenos hmedos.
En el momento de la floracin se recoge la planta para preparar el medicamento. Debido a

que la "musca ARNICA" deposita sus huevos en las flores de esta planta y es capaz de
alterar sus propiedades, algunas farmacopeas homeopticas recomiendan utilizar
solamente las races frescas; otras, por el contrario, aconsejan limpiar cuidadosamente las
flores y utilizar la planta entera.
SOBRE LOS MSCULOS Y TEJIDO CELULAR. Su influencia especial sobre la fibra

muscular determina trastornos circulatorios en arterias y capilares, lo que explica su
accin sobre vsceras, en particular cerebro y bulbo.
Su accin sobre los vasos sanguneos, sobre todo los capilares, posibilita la
EXTRAVASACIN SANGUNEA. Produce estados semejantes a CONTUSIN O
TRAUMATISMO siendo til para los casos en que un traumatismo, an curado, parezca
ser el motivo de un mal presente. Es indicado para casos de contusin o surmenage de un
rgano, esfuerzos musculares; el cuerpo y todos los miembros duelen como si hubiesen
sido golpeados; la cama parece dura.
Su accin es rpida y no determina estados discrsicos, es decir, estados patolgicos

crnicos. Su rapidez no permite esperar cambios durables en la esfera vegetativa. Su
indicacin es acertada si la afeccin alcanza a capilares y ltimas fibras nerviosas, ya sea
por causa mrbida, conmocin mecnica o violencia exterior. Bajo su accin los rganos
en general presentan durante un perodo abatimiento, luego exaltacin de la vitalidad, lo
cual sucede a una impresin venida de la periferia (Espanet).
Caractersticas
Individuos pletricos, de cara roja, ojos inyectados, labios secos, hinchados y agrietados
hipersensibles y que temen ser golpeados.
ES EL PRINCIPAL REMEDIO PARA LAS CONTUSIONES Y SUS CONSECUENCIAS.
Produce efectos semejantes a los resultantes de golpes, contusiones, cadas, y conviene

acordarse de l en afecciones agudas o crnicas debidas a traumatismo.
Produce bajo la piel equimosis como las de una contusin; favorece la resorcin de sangre
extravasada, evitando la supuracin. Es til para cualquier dolencia causada por
traumatismos lejanos. Si no hay contraindicacin, arnica deber emplearse para el
surmenage muscular, esguinces, torceduras, contusiones. Pero para la debilidad de
tendones que puede seguir a cualquiera de los estados anteriores, no es suficiente,
debindose recurrir a RHUS TOX, su complemento natural. Si la debilidad y sensibilidad
dolorosa persisten en las articulaciones, a RHUS deber seguir calcrea, cuidando de no
suministrar todos estos remedios el mismo da, sino despus de esperar la accin que
cada uno de ellos debe ejercer. Puede ocurrir que tengamos que recurrir tambin a
CAUST., STAPH., etc., los cuales estn ms o menos relacionados con ARNICA, RHUS
CALCREA.
ARNICA SANGRA FCILMENTE :La tonicidad de sus vasos sanguneos parece relajada y
facilita la extravasacin. Se forman manchas equimticas en a piel; las mucosas y
regiones inflamadas sangran fcilmente. Proclive a estados catarrales, y si se resfra
sangra.
Sus expectoraciones son estriadas de filamentos sanguneos o manchadas con pequeos

cogulos de sangre del tamao de la cabeza de un alfiler. Orina conteniendo sangre y
sangra por todos los orificios corporales. Las fibras musculares le los vasos han perdido
el tono y la sangre se filtra a travs de sus paredes.
DEBILIDAD, LASITUD, SENSACIN COMO SI ESTUVIESE MAGULLADO;

DOLORES COMO SI HUBIESE SIDO GOLPEADO.
El lecho le parece demasiado duro, por lo que se agita sin cesar.
Al examinar al paciente de ARNICA se lo ve moverse continuamente en el echo,

revolvindose. Cul es la razn de esta agitacin? El paciente de ARNICA se mueve por
causas muy distintas a la ansiedad de ACON., o la de ARS., o a mejora por el
movimiento propio de RHUS TOX; se mueve porque est dolorido, por ello la cama le
parece dura, y mejora movindose.
La sensacin de "rotura" general, de magulladura, que hace que el paciente encuentre el

lecho muy duro, la encontramos tambin en BAPT., CHINA, PYROG., PHYTOL.,
RUTA GRAV., STAPH., Y RUS THOX.

Sntomas mentales
EXTREMA DEBILIDAD QUE LLEGA A LA POSTRACIN; abatido fsica y moralmente,

y experimenta la sensacin caracterstica, como si TODO SU CUERPO ESTUVIESE
ROTO, MAGULLADO.
TRISTE, DESEA POR SOBRE TODAS LAS COSAS ESTAR TRANQUILO, EN PAZ;
QUE NO LE HABLEN NI SE LE ARRIMEN; TOTAL INDIFERENCIA. (No por
misantropa sino por fatiga). ANSIOSO HIPOCONDRIACO, en los momentos de mayor
aprensin se espanta o se desespera imaginando toda clase de cosas angustiantes,
especialmente si sufre del corazn o tiene alguna perturbacin orgnica profunda (Kent).
Mientras responde a una pregunta, cae en profundo estupor y antes determinar, cae en
somnolencia. Si el mdico lo taca o lo sacude para despertarlo, responde a una primera
pregunta, pero enseguida cae en estupor y le dice al mdico : "Yo no le he llamado, no lo
necesito". Luego volver a dormirse, encogido, gruendo cada vez que se le hable; tal
estado reclama ARNICA. Estupor con prdida involuntaria de orina o materia fecal, en
enfermedades infecciosas de formas graves: tifoidea con delirio, delirium tremens
(Kent).
Sueo
Somnolencia durante el da, y por la noche espera descansar de su gran fatiga y de la

magulladura que siente. Pero su sueo es agitado, lleno de pesadillas, sueos penosos; se
despierta brusca y frecuentemente, llevando sus manos al pecho, oprimiendo la regin
cardaca, parece aterrorizado. A menudo le despierta el temor a la muerte; est lleno de
una angustia terrible, pero finalmente se calma, vuelve a dormirse, pero su sueo sigue
siendo angustiado, vuelve a despertar y pide le llamen enseguida un mdico. Esto sucede
noche a noche, en sujetos que de da estn bien o simplemente aparentan estar algo
nerviosos. Esto ocurre en los cardacos o entre quienes estn bajo la amenaza de
cualquier afeccin orgnica grave. En personas traumatizadas, que han sufrido un
accidente; despiertan de repente de noche con miedo angustioso a la muerte repentina,
reviviendo las angustias de su accidente. En esto hay diferencia con OPIUM, en que el
temor persiste de da, no as en ARNICA (Kent).
Cabeza
CABEZA CALIENTE, RESTO DEL CUERPO FRO; slo la cabeza o la cara estn
calientes. Es una caracterstica de los ataques congestivos repentinos, y a veces es el
comienzo de una crisis seria. En los nios con cabeza caliente y extremidades fras puede
pensarse en BELL., pero hay que tener cuidado en la diferenciacin, pues si los pacientes
no quieren que se les toque, si gritan si uno se acerca a ellos, si estudiamos bien el caso
constataremos que se debe a la sensacin de magulladura y al dolor que padecen; por
ltimo desvistiendo al enfermo, encontraremos las manchas equimticas que reforzarn
la indicacin de ARNICA (Kent).
CEFALEA, generalmente frontal, con sensacin de tegumentos contrados;a veces SUPRA

ORBITARIA, generalmente a la derecha, con irradiacin a los temporales, agravada al
agacharse, pudiendo tambin haber confusin mental.
Sensacin de tener un clavo clavado en el crneo, o como si aplicaran algo fro sobre la
cabeza. VRTIGO, principalmente al enderezarse, al mover la cabeza y al caminar.
APOPLEJA, con pulso pleno y fuerte, respiracin estertorosa paralizada. Por la rigidez
tetnica del cuerpo y la facies violcea, puede inducir a pensaren OPIUM.
Aparato digestivo
1) BOCA: ALIENTO FTIDO Y OLOR BUCAL PTRIDO. ERUCTOS OFENSIVOS
CON OLOR A HUEVO PODRIDO (Nash). El olor repugnante es un indicio de
ARNICA. Las deposiciones tienen un olor extremadamente repugnante. (Kent).
BOCA SECA CON SED; lengua seca, cubierta de una capa blanca.
2) ESTOMAGO: NO TIENE APETITO; a veces AVERSIN A LOS ALIMENTOS.

Principalmente carne y leche. ALUM. que adems, no tolera la papa y en cambio desea
cosas anormales (carbn, etc.); CALC. OSTR., aversin a carne, grasa, y no tolera la
leche ni huevos; CARBO. VEG., aversin a carnes y cosas dulces; PULS., aversin a
carne y grasas, alimentos calientes, en cambio desea helados y frutas fras; sepia no
tolera carne ni leche, pero quiere vinagre y cidos en general. Tambin arnica tiene
DESEOS DE VINAGRE. Sufre del estmago mientras come; luego de haber comido,
sensacin de plenitud, de asco, de peso en el estmago, como si tuviese una piedra.
COMO SI EL ESTOMAGO estuviese oprimido contra la columna vertebral. Eructos
frecuentes de maana
3) INTESTINOS Y DEPOSICIONES: Vientre inflado, calmado por emisin de gas con

olor a huevo podrido. DEPOSICIONES OFENSIVAS, color marrn, sanguinolentas,
irritantes, INVOLUNTARIAS. A veces con tenesmo. Deposiciones involuntarias de
noche durante el sueo. (ALOE, tiene inseguridad en el recto con deposiciones
involuntarias al orinar o emitir gas; APIS deposiciones involuntarias en algunos
movimientos, quedndole sensacin como si el ano estuviese abierto; GELS. lo mismo,
por emocin, susto, mala noticia; PHOSPH. deposiciones involuntarias con sensacin de
que el ano queda siempre abierto; deposiciones y gases muy ftidos; lo mismo ocurre en
PHOSPH. AC., SCALE, VER. ALB., HYOSC., BAPT., CARBO VEG., etc.
Aparato urinario
No consigue orinar despus de esfuerzo violento. Retencin espasmdica con presin

vesical. Tenesmo. Orina roja oscura con sedimento color ladrillo.
rganos genitales
Sntomas marcados, especialmente en la mujer. Sensacin de MAGULLADURA EN

REGIN UTERINA QUE IMPIDE CAMINAR DERECHA. Sensibilidad dolorosa
abdominal, principalmente pelviana. En la mujer embarazada, LOS MOVIMIENTOS
DEL FETO SON DOLOROSOS, despertndola de noche. Esta sensacin de magulladura
y gran sensibilidad, se extienden a recto y labios, que estn hinchados y dolorosos.
Vrices EN VULVA y VAGINA, con sensacin de magulladura.
La enferma de ARNICA tiene el vientre permanentemente dolorido;(helonias, el dolor pasa si

se distrae; bellis peren., con paredes abdominales y tero doloridos).
REGLAS GENERALMENTE ADELANTADAS, de sangre roja brillante con cogulos.
Entre reglas, puede haber prdidas de sangre con sensacin de magulladura en la regin
pelviana.
Dolores en las vas genitales despus del parto; dando ARNICA en tales circunstancias
previene hemorragias y complicaciones puerperales; tambin es conveniente para
hemorragias uterinas de origen traumtico
1) LARINGE: AFONA DESPUS DE HABLAR MUCHO; sensacin dolorosa como si

la mucosa larngea estuviese en carne viva por la maana. TOS PRODUCIDA POR
EXCESO DE GRITOS Y LLANTOS. Tos seca por cosquilleo en la trquea. Buen
remedio para la COQUELUCHE; en que la tos es espasmdica y se acompaa de
expectoracin sangunea o mucosa estriada de sangre, o mucus con pequesimos
cogulos de sangre como cabezas de alfiler. Vmitos alimenticios acompaan la
expectoracin de mucus oscuro. El estado mental del pequeo enfermo es : hurao,
irritable, el llanto acompaado de agitacin y clera provoca tos, paroxismos nocturnos
de tos; llora antes del acceso como si tuviese miedo al dolor que le sobrevendr (Kent).
2) BRONQUIOS Y PULMONES: Tos paroxstica nocturna, en relacin con lesin

cardaca. Pleurodinia (RANUNC., CIMICIF.) HEMOPTISIS DESPUS de traumatismo
o esfuerzos violentos respiratorios o circulatorios.
El paciente de ARNICA sufre del corazn; puede sentir puntos dolorosos en regin
precordial o sensacin de magulladura acompaada de fatiga intensa y gran debilidad.
Sensacin como si el corazn estuviese oprimido por un hilo o por una mano. (CACTUS).
Hipertrofia pasajera del corazn despus de esfuerzos violentos. (CACTUS).

ARNICA sangra mucho.
Puede indicarse en hemorragias acompaadas de dolor en todo el cuerpo que est fro
mientras la cara est roja y caliente.
Dolores musculares en la espalda como si hubiese sido golpeado. (EN ACON., y BERB. el
dolor se relaciona con litiasis renal; RHUS TOX; RUTA).
Rigidez en todos los miembros, con sensacin de magulladura como si lo hubiesen golpeado.
Dolor que puede sobrevenir por esfuerzo prolongado o por exceso de ejercicio fsico. Es
interesante sealar la localizacin dolorosa en el dedo gordo del pie, acompaada de
tumefaccin brillante roja y caliente, hipersensible al menor contacto; el dolor es
intolerable como en un acceso de gota (Kent).
Piel
GRANITOS FORUNCULOSOS en serie diseminados por el cuerpo y muy dolorosos.
ACN doloroso con caracterstica DISTRIBUCIN SIMTRICA.
ERUPCIN DE PEQUEAS vesculas sobre base eritematosa, con calor y prurito.
TENDENCIA A EQUIMOSIS AL MENOR CONTACTO. En LACH. Y SULF. AC. tambin

hay equimosis pero aparecen en forma espontnea, mientras que en arnica son
provocadas por el menor traumatismo.
Fiebre
ARNICA es til en la fiebre cuando la cabeza est roja y caliente y el resto del cuerpo fro,
particularmente al atardecer y por la noche.
El slo hecho de despertar un poco al enfermo le causa escalofros.

ARNICA MONTANA (Kent)
El paciente de Arnica es triste, desea estar solo, que no se le hable, que no se le acerquen,
no quiere entablar conversacin, un estado mental, y tambin por estar dolorido. Estos
son los dos sntomas ms notables en esta medicina. Irritabilidad, mal humor, triste,
tmido, temeroso, fcilmente asustado, imagina toda clase de cosas, especialmente que
posee una afeccin al corazn, o que se gangrenar ; o que algn profundo problema
aparece en l. Tiene pesadillas, sueos espantosos, sueos de aguas turbias, ladrones,
etc. Horror durante la noche. Frecuentemente se levanta por la noche, con opresin del
corazn., tiene la apariencia de gran horror, teme que algo espantoso pudiera pasar. Un
repentino temor a la muerte aparece en este momento, levantndolo del lecho; siente
opresin en el corazn, y piensa que morir repentinamente. Aquejado de una terrible
angustia, pero finalmente se recobra, yace sobre la cama y entra en un sueo de terror,
salta otra vez con el temor de una muerte repentina y dice: "Llamen a un doctor
enseguida". Esto se repite noche tras noche en personas que estn bien durante el da,
las cuales no despiertan compasin debido a que no parece existir realidad en su
enfermedad, slo un estado mental. Esto tambin se nota en personas que han tenido un
accidente de tren, o algn shock, los que estn doloridos y daados por algn incidente.
Se levantan durante la noche con el temor a una repentina muerte, con expresin de
terror; los horrores que realmente pasan se repiten. Esto es similar a Opium, solamente
el miedo de Opium permanece, an durante el da. Con Arnica suea con esto.
Cuando esta en cama enfermo con una enfermedad cimtica, con fiebre violenta, o con
fiebre luego de un accidente o herida, se torna muy postrado, estpido e inconsciente.
El paciente puede ser despertado y contestar una pregunta correctamente, pero le
aparece estupor, o se excita por una palabra y es incapaz de encontrar las respuestas
correctas cuando est tratando de contestar y vuelve a entrar en coma. Cuando se
despierta mira al doctor y dice: "No lo quiero a Ud.; no lo mand llamar; no estoy
enfermo; no necesito un doctor". Dir esto an estando seriamente enfermo. He visto a
un paciente de Arnica yacer sobre su espalda y sobre su almohada luego de llenarse su
estmago de un fluido negro como sangre, seriamente enfermo, con la cara moteada,
con enfermedad cimtica o como si trataran un resfro maligno, que uno podra pensar
que se estara por morir, mira y dice: "No estoy enfermo; no lo mand llamar; vyase a
su casa". Cuando gozaba de buena salud era amigable, de buen corazn, me conoca
bien, complacido de estrechar manos conmigo; pero ahora est irritado al verme all e
insiste que no le pasa nada. Ese es el estado de shock, casi un delirio. Luego de
terminar tal frase yacer en un estado de estupor, yacer sobre la cama encogido, y
meramente gruir cuando hable. Desea que lo dejen solo, desea no ser molestado, desea
que no le hablen. Ese estado se anuncia con dolores luego de un shock que ha sacudido
todo el sistema, que ha perturbado la circulacin. Cuando aparece un sntoma de
tifoidea, cuando aparece un sntoma intermitente o remitente, el cual es de carcter
tifoideo, cuando la lengua aparece untuosa, y los dientes y labios pastosos, cuando hay
dolores en todo el cuerpo, hay momentos en que aparece este estado mental y el
paciente debe tener Arnica. Arnica interrumpir el progreso y prevenir un estado
tifoideo. Es adecuado tambin para escarlatina, cuando la erupcin todava. no ha
salido, en aquellas formas graves en que el cuerpo est oscuro, moteado y cubierto con
manchas rojas; el paciente est constantemente dando vueltas y en ese estado mental
aparece con mal humor, y estupidez. Este es un maravilloso remedio, aunque mal
entendido, mal empleado, porque est casi siempre limitado a contusiones. Constituye
una esperanza en ciertas pocas del ao, en los valles de malaria del Oeste, para fiebre
intermitente. En resfros congestivos, en aquellos espantosos ataques con postracin,
estupor, piel moteada, con congestin que aparece repentinamente, con ansiedad. Los
doctores conocen estas fiebres, le temen a ellas, y solamente pueden lidiar con ellas
usando remedios tales como Arnica y Lachesis y otra medicina de accin profunda. No
es cierto que estos pacientes deben tener Quinine. Durante muchos aos he practicado
con estos casos, y he visto muchos resfros congestivos y no necesit Quinine. Prefiero
tener mi repertorio y algunas potencias que toda la Quinine que hay en las farmacias.
Las pldoras de azcar curan con seguridad, permanente y dulcemente mientras que la
Quinine nunca lo hace, suprime el efecto y no hay nada en la historia posterior de este
paciente drogado con Quinine y Arsenic, sino congestin y violencia prolongada
durante toda su vida.
"Horror a la muerte instantnea, con irregularidades cardacas durante la noche". Ese horror
a una muerte instantnea es una caracterstica sorprendente y aparece en atencin a la
enfermedad del corazn. Un horror durante la noche cuando no hay nada que pueda
sorprenderlo; una congestin horrible, la cual afecta especialmente el cerebelo y la
parte superior de la mdula espinal.
"Estupor con secreciones involuntarias". "Coma, insensibilidad". "Yace como si estuviera

muerto. Estos sntomas aparecen en las formas engaosas de enfermedad, en el caso de
la tifoidea. Muchas de las fiebres remitentes, si se las trata mal, o se permite que sigan
su curso bajo una mala atencin, se volvern fiebres continuas. Mientras que una
tifoidea idioptica aparece luego de muchas semanas de gradual declinacin, una
tifoidea sintomtica puede aparecer repentinamente, y posee sntomas ms graves que
la tifoidea ordinaria. La tifoidea idioptica raramente matar y generalmente tendr una
terminacin favorable, si el doctor permanece en la casa. Este remedio est lleno de
delirio durante estas formas de falsas fiebres. "Falto de esperanza; indiferencia".
"Ansiedad hipocndrica, malhumor". "Teme ser golpeado por aquellos que van hacia
l". Esto es fsico y mental.
Ahora, entendiendo este estado mental, estamos preparados para tomar en cuenta el estado
fsico general, el cual posee, en todas sus molestias, en todo el cuerpo un sentimiento
como si estuviera magullado. No es extrao que Arnica sea utilizado para moretones,
pero es muy tonto ponerlo en la parte exterior y frotarlo como una tintura. Esto produce
en su patognesis manchas moteadas, como magullones. Si se usa Arnica internamente,
en grandes dosis, se observarn manchas moteadas, manchas azulinas, las cuales se
tornan amarillentas, debido a equimosis, a la extravasacin de los capilares ms
pequeos. Esto es, en el ms amplio sentido, lo que ocurre con los moretones. Es una
extravasacin de la sangre desde los capilares, y a veces desde las venas ms grandes.
Pero en todo el cuerpo el paciente est dolorido y magullado, como si hubiera sido
golpeado. Si se observa un paciente de Arnica, para conseguir las manifestaciones
externas de su estado, se lo ver movindose y dando vueltas. Se preguntar Ud. en
seguida, por qu est sin descansar: y si Ud. compara remedios mentalmente, ver que es
como Rhus tox.; el paciente est en un lugar un momento y luego se mueve. No
importa que est semi-consciente, se lo ver hacer o dar vueltas, avanzar un poco, luego
otro poco, y as hasta que se encuentra del otro lado. Luego comienza de nuevo, se
cambiar un poquito, y ms tarde algo ms, y as se vuelve de un lugar a otro. La
pregunta es, por qu se mueve as, por qu no descansa? Es un importante problema
para resolver. Notamos la terrible ansiedad del paciente de Arsenicum que lo mantiene
en movimiento todo el tiempo. Notamos dolor difcil que siente en todo el cuerpo en el
paciente de Rhus, por lo tanto no puede mantenerse quieto. El paciente de Arnica est
tan dolorido que solo puede yacer sobre un lado un momento, y debe permanecer sobre
el otro lado o levantarse. Por lo tanto si se le pregunta: "Por qu se mueve as?", l
contestar que la cama est dura. Esa es una manera de decir que el cuerpo est dolorido.
Un individuo ms inteligente dir que es a causa de su dolor y siente magullones y
golpes y desea ir a otro lado. Este estado de dolor, est presente si hay una tifoidea
sintomtica, fiebre intermitente, fiebre remitente, o luego. de una herida cuando est
todo magullado realmente. Se observa la misma continua dificultad y movimiento,
movindose a cada minuto. El paciente se mueve y piensa que ahora estar confortable,
pero est confortable slo por un segundo. El dolor aumenta cuanto ms quieto est, y
el dolor aumenta en tal forma, que se ve obligado a moverse. Con Rhus tox. cunto ms
quieto el paciente est ms cansado se siente y ms dolorido, hasta que siente que volar
si no se mueve. Con Rhus tox. las dificultades desaparecen con el movimiento, y con
Arnica los dolores desaparecen si cambia de lugar. Con Arsenicum se ve al paciente
movindose y aparece como salvaje, y est ansioso, y esta ansiedad lo obliga a
moverse, y no consigue descansar, porque se mantiene movindose. Los pacientes de
Rhus tox. y Arnica se alivian con pequeos movimientos.
El paciente de Arnica sangra fcilmente, sus venas parecen estar relajadas, y la

extravasacin es fcil. Manchas azules aparecen sobre la piel, y por dentro las mucosas
sangran fcilmente, lo mismo las partes inflamadas. Est sujeto a afecciones catarrales,
y si tiene tos sangra. La mucosidad que es expelida fuera del pecho y de la garganta
contiene sangre, o muy pequeos cogulos. Lo mismo su orina, mana sangre de los
distintos orificios del cuerpo. No hay suficiente tonicidad en las fibras de las venas para
mantener la sangre en las paredes de las venas y sangran o manan.
En todo el cuerpo aparece cojera, dolores, y se siente como magullado; una cojera
reumtica; las articulaciones estn hinchadas, con dolor y con cojera. Si una
enfermedad ms aguda se torna ms grave, encontraremos los sntomas mentales que
hemos descrito, y existir un aumento de dolor en los msculos. Arnica es muy
conveniente para ese dolor, afeccin de magulladura en todo el cuerpo, por lo tanto
Arnica es un remedio muy importante en heridas, magulladuras y shocks, heridas de las
articulaciones, heridas de la espalda con cojera y dolor. En tales afecciones Arnica
aparece como uno de los primeros remedios, a menos que existan otros sntomas
generales que indiquen otro medicamento, ste ser el primero. Arnica muy a menudo
hace desaparecer todos los dolores de una torcedura de tobillos y le permite al paciente,
caminar en unos pocos das, con la consiguiente sorpresa de todos. La apariencia negra
y azul de torcedura de las articulaciones desaparecern en un breve lapso. y el dolor
tambin, y el paciente podr manipular esa articulacin con sorprendente facilidad. He
visto un tobillo dislocado cuando estaba negro y azul, tan hinchado que el zapato no se
poda calzar, pero luego de una dosis de Arnica, la hinchazn desapareci de un modo
asombroso, y el paciente pudo pararse sobre su pie. Tal alivio no puede obtenerse con
una locin de Arnica por fuera. Una potencia alta de Arnica es ms satisfactoria en
cojeras, y cuando no existe una contraindicacin Arnica es el primer remedio; pero por
la debilidad de los tendones que le sigue, tal estado de Arnica no es siempre suficiente;
y luego Rhus tox. es su seguidor natural. Si la debilidad y sensibilidad permanecen en
las articulaciones, siga a Rhus con Calcarea. Uno, por supuesto, no dar todos estos
remedios el mismo da, y en el mismo vaso, pero esperar que todas las influencias de
Arnica hayan desaparecido para suministrar Rhus. Es un caso muy comn en dolores y
falta de descanso y debilidad, tomar en cuenta las zonas heridas y Rhus se convierte en.
un remedio adecuado; y es muy comn en articulaciones que han sido mal tratadas
permanecen doloridas y dbiles, y Calcarea constituye el continuador natural de Rhus.
Ahora y luego debemos recurrir a Causticum, Staphisagria, y a otros remedios, debido a
las caractersticas peculiares del caso, pero todos estos medicamentos estn
relacionadas ms o menos con Arnica, Rhus y Calcarea. Para otros casos de heridas se
puede comparar Ledum e Hypericum.
Arnica es til en casos crnicos, en especial en casos viejos de gota. Ver al abuelo sentado
en un rincn de la habitacin, y si el pequeo Johnnie va corriendo hacia l, le dir ,
"Oh, vete, vete". Denle una dosis de Arnica y permitir que se acerque Johnnie. No
desea ser tocado; siente que todo lo que se le aproxima lo lastimara. Es
extremadamente sensible, sus articulaciones estn doloridas y delicadas, y el abuelo
tiene miedo que puedan ser lastimadas.
Esta medicina tiene inflamacin erisipelatosa. Si tiene una erisipela en la cara con el estado
mental descrito, sintiendo magulladura en todo el cuerpo, no debe esperar mucho para
prescribir Arnica. En inflamacin de riones, vejiga, hgado, y an en neumona, el
estado mental le permitir realizar asombrosos trabajos en aquellas afecciones, aunque
Arnica no haya producido neumona. Posee todo lo que puede decirse de una ruda
expectoracin, con todos los dolores en el pecho y estado catarral, la tos y el asco, y
dolor, magullones en todo el cuerpo, y luego agregue a todo esto el estado de estupor y
la afeccin mental que pertenece a la dolencia inflamatoria de cualquier rgano, y es
especialmente fuerte en esta medicina. No debemos atormentarnos acerca de cualquier
perfeccin de diagnosis a fijar sobre Arnica.
Arnica aborrece la carne, el pan y la leche. Existe mucha sed en determinados momentos;
por ejemplo, durante el escalofro de la fiebre intermitente; el enfermo tiene sed, a
veces. "Vomita cogulos colorado-oscuros, boca amarga; dolores generales". Vmitos
de substancias negras, como tinta.
Arnica es un remedio til en inflamaciones del abdomen, hgado, intestinos, con

tumefaccin, timpanismo, postracin, tendencia a no poder sentir ser tocado. Este
estado tambin se encuentra en tifoidea. No olvidar los sntomas de Arnica en
apendicitis si conocemos Bryonia, Rhus tox., Belladonna, Arnica y remedios similares.
El remedio homeoptico curar estos casos, y, si usted lo sabe no debe recurrir al
cirujano, excepto cuando recidivan los ataques. Si usted conoce sus remedios no ser
necesario abrir el abdomen y extraer el apndice. Constituye una deplorable ignorancia
recurrir al acto operatorio.
La ofensividad es una caracterstica de Arnica; y existe en los eructos, y en el flato. La

materia fecal es horriblemente ofensiva. "Diarrea nocturna". "Defecacin involuntaria
durante el sueo". "Materia fecal de comida no digerida, muy ftida, purulenta;
sangunea, viscosa, mucosidad". Aqu vemos la tendencia a fluir desde las mucosas.
Defecacin acuosa y negra con vmitos negros. "Retencin de orina debido a un
esfuerzo, a un exceso de trabajo, a una herida, a una conmocin cerebral, a algn
accidente violento. La orina es muy oscura. "Dolores agudos como cuchillos
introducindose en los riones". "Orina muy cida, con aumento de peso especfico".
Otra caracterstica de Arnica aparece en mujeres embarazadas. La sensibilidad es extrema,

dolores o debilidades a travs de todo el cuerpo se sienten especialmente en las vsceras
abdominales, en la regin del tero y plvica. Sensibilidad al movimiento del feto,
dolores y magullones; los movimientos del feto son muy dolorosos y mantienen a las
pacientes despiertas toda la noche. Arnica eliminar ese dolor y la paciente no percibir
los movimientos del feto. No existe aumento del movimiento del feto, pero la paciente
es sensible a l. "Constante goteo de orina despus del parto".
Una caracterstica general del remedio es tambin la permanencia del cuerpo fro y la
cabeza caliente; todo el cuerpo y las extremidades estn fras, pero la cabeza se siente
caliente. Esta es una marcada dolencia en ataques congestivos repentinos, en resfros y
en fiebres intermitentes congestivas. Esto, es a veces, el comienzo de un ataque grave
cuando no ha habido ninguna advertencia expuesta excepto una o dos noches de mal
sueo y angustia, temor y estupefaccin, con dolores en el cuerpo. Nios que estn con
ataques graves de fiebre infantil les pueden aparecer convulsiones, la cabeza est
caliente y el cuerpo est fro. La mayora de los mdicos pensarn en Belladona, el cual
produce tal fro en las extremidades y tal calor en la cabeza. No se olvide de Arnica,
especialmente en aquellos nios que parecen tener aversin a ser tocados, y chillan
cada vez que su madre los toma de los brazos o piernas. Introdzcase en la historia un
poco y ver que esto es dolor, y si se desnuda al nio se observan manchas oscuras, lo
cual da una indicacin adicional de Arnica.
Este es un medicamento para tos convulsa; fcilmente se pueden conjeturar cules son las
indicaciones para este caso; se agrava cuando se lo toca, dolor de magulladura, tos
espasmdica con expectoracin de sangre, o mucus con estrias de sangre oscura, o
pequeos puntitos en la mucosidad. Vmitos de la comida con mucosidad negra. El
estado mental del nio se lo puede imaginar fcilmente. El nio est colrico. "Tos
excitada por gritos en los nios cuando est acompaada de enojo y sacudidas".
"Paroxismo de tos durante la noche". "Tos convulsa, el nio grita antes del paroxismo
como lo hara al temer a los dolores". Puede aplicar fcilmente lo que hemos visto en el
remedio a las varias enfermedades que aparecen. Dolores punzantes en tos convulsa,
dolores pleurales con catarro de pecho, con neumona o pleuresa, enfermedades
inflamatorias. Tiene tambin ms dolores prolongados. "Degeneracin grasosa del
corazn". Punzadas en la regin cardiaca, especialmente de izquierda a derecha.
"Fatigado, magullado, dolores, gran debilidad, debe recostarse, aunque la cama la siente
muy dura".
Es conveniente leer sobre estos sntomas; existen numerosas particularidades en el remedio,

muchos sntomas mnimos que son de gran inters.
El remedio sigue bien despus de Aconite, y es complementario de Aconite, Ipecacuana y

Veratrum.
ARNICA MONTANA (Farrington)
Tambin es llamada comunmente veneno del leopardo. La tintura debe prepararse con
las races de la planta, ms bien que con las flores; pues estas son infestadas por un insecto
cuyo cuerpo y huevos, al ser includos en la tintura, modifican considerablemente la
accin de la droga pura, y naturalmente le agregan sntomas ajenos a la accin genuina de
Arnica. Tambin se encuentra un aceite esencial en las flores de esta planta que difiere ms
o menos del aceite que se obtiene de sus races. No me explico por qu se le ha dado a esta
planta tan poco venenosa, el nombre de veneno del leopardo. Si es cierto que se han dado
algunos casos de defuncin debidos a su uso excesivo, casi todos se han referido a las
preparaciones obtenidas con las flores; por tanto, no es difcil que a esto hayan obedecido
los resultados fatales.
La especie de Arnica, que es oficinal en nuestra Materia Mdica, o sea la Arnica
montana, no se da en Amrica pues es indgena de Europa; tiene un aceite esencial que
contiene un alcaloide no bien conocido, llamado Arnicina y una substancia amilcea,
conocida con el nombre de Inulina. Para comprender debidamente los efectos de Arnica en
su totalidad, debemos saber cmo afecta a los vasos sanguneos Cmo obra exactamente?
me es difcil decirlo, porque no est claramente definido en mi mente; pero puedo
hablarles de sus efectos y explicarlos. Afecta de tal manera los vasos sanguneos, con
particularidad los capilares, que hace posible la dilatacin de estos pequeos vasos y la
extravasacin de la sangre. Este debilitamiento de las paredes capilares que permite la
extravasacin, explica el uso de Arnica en las afecciones traumticas; as como tambin en
los estados tifoideos. Ahora bien, teniendo en cuenta que Arnica altera los capilares en esta
forma, de tal manera que la sangre puede escaparse a travs de sus paredes, podremos
comprender sus sntomas. Parece producir un estasis venenoso que de lugar a
extravasacin. Esta extravasacin o escurrimiento de sangre, no puede verificarse en un
vaso sano.
Arnica est indicado en los efectos agudos y crnicos de las constituciones. Los casos
a los que se adapta Arnica, son : contusiones simples en las que las equmosis estn bien
marcadas ; confusiones cerebrales y espinales o cerebro-espinales. En estos ltimos casos
Arnica es un medicamento sin igual. Incluso la compresin cerebral est comprendida en
la accin curativa de Arnica, ya sea resultado del desplazamiento de un fragmento seo,
consecuencia de una fractura craneana o de un derrame sanguineo en la cavidad. En el
primero de estos casos, claro esta, Arnica no podra curar, pues habra necesidad de recurrir
a medios quirurgicos para conseguir la curacin permanente. Puede hacerse uso de Arnica
en las contusiones musculares producidas por un esfuerzo violento o por una torcedura
repentina, como cuando se levantan grandes fardos y en las hemorragias de origen
mecnico. Las fracturas seas pueden reclamar el uso de Arnica, tanto al exterior como al
interior, para aliviar la tumefaccin de las partes afectadas, asi como los subsaltos
musculares que aparecen como sntomas reflejos de las fracturas. En los efectos cronicos
de las contusiones se puede usar Arnica, en las enfermedades que, siendo aparentemente
extraas a la sintomatologa del medicamento, reconocen, sin embargo, un orgen
traumtico. No importa qu enfermedad sea, del cerebro, de los ojos, del los pulmones, de
los nervios, si la causa productora ha sido una contusin la indicacin de Arnica ser
correcta.
Adems, como Arnica obra indudablemente sobre el tejido muscular mismo, puede ser
de utilidad en las enfermedades de los mismos msculos; por ejemplo, cuando se ha estado
trabajando afanosamente, resultando de esto un adolorimiento o magullamiento de todo el
cuerpo, dando una sensacin de como si estuviera golpeado, o tambin, cuando el trabajo
rudo ha producido una hipertrofia cardaca. Esto ltimo. estrictamente hablando, no es una
enfermedad, pero sus consecuencias ltimas, si conducen a ella. El corazn es un musculo
que puede, bajo el estmulo del ejercicio desarrollarse tanto como sucede por ejemplo con
el biceps. Como resultado de la hipertrofia cardaca, el enfermo se queja de hinchazon en
las manos, con cualquier ejercicio. La mano toma un tinte ms rojo de lo natural y se
hincha cuando el brazo es suspendido. Se ver que el pulso es lleno y fuerte. Cuando ha
llegado a este punto la hipertrofia cardaca, se presentan sntomas locales adems de los ya
mencionados. El corazn se siente como si fuera comprimido con fuerza por una mano; el
pecho todo, est dolorido y magullado y el enfermo no tolera el roce de la ropa.
La sensacin de opresin cardiaca como por una mano, nos recuerda desde luego a
Cactus. Sin embargo, en Cactus, estos sntomas no son de origen traumtico.
La sensibilidad del pecho nos recuerda a Lachesis, pero Arnica se distingue en que no
hay, como en aquel la sensibilidad de los nervios perifricos, sino una verdadera sensacin
de magullamiento, producida por la plenitud de los vasos sanguneos.
Otros medicamentos que deben ser comparados con Arnica en la hipertrofia cardaca,
son :
Rhus tox., especialmente si existe una ditesis reumtica.
Arsenicum si es el resultado de ascender a lugares elevados.
Bromium Tambin se ha usado con xito en estos casos.
Voy a mencionar ahora los sntomas tifoideos de Arnica, que, aunque muy diferentes a
los que acabo de sealar, dependen, sin embargo, del mismo estado de los vasos
sanguneos.
Los cambios verificados en estos por las toxinas de la tifoidea, favorecen la formacin
de equimosis en diferentes partes del cuerpo. Hay tambin una congestin cerebral pasiva;
que se manifiesta por la somnolencia y la indiferencia a todos los que le rodean y an a su
misma enfermedad. El enfermo se queda dormido al contestar las preguntas que se le
hacen, justamente como sucede en Baptisia. Con estos sntomas encontramos, casi
siempre, que "la cabeza est caliente y el cuerpo fro, o al menos, no est caliente",
traduciendo esto una gran diferencia entre la temperatura de la cabeza y la del resto del
cuerpo. Este sntoma ha sido confirmado muchas veces y es bueno tenerlo siempre
presente. El paciente se queja de una sensacin de magullamiento en todo el cuerpo, al
grado de que la cama la siente demasiado dura. Est inquieto y cambia de sitio en su
propia cama, buscando un ugar blando para descansar; sin embargo, la causa no radica en
la cama sino en l mismo. Aparecen equimosis en el dorso, debidos a la congestin
hiposttica. Los pulmones se afectan revelndose tambin en esto, la naturaleza de la
accin de Arnica.. Hay una tos con expectoracin de moco y sangre. Si conserva el
conocimiento, se queja de una sensacin de adolorimiento y magulladura en las paredes
torcicas. A medida que la enfermedad avanza, Arnica puede estar indicado cuando la
presin sangunea en el cerebro, es suficientemente fuerte para producir sntomas
apoplticos. La respiracin se vuelve difcil y an estertorosa. La mandbula inferior est
colgante. Aparecen petequias en la piel y las materias fecales y orina, escapan
involuntariamente; el enfermo, como es natural, yace en estado de estupor. Los sntomas
tifoideos precedentes, son los que corresponden a Arnica.
Ahora veremos su accin muscular: Arnica produce una verdadera mialgia,
presentndose dolores musculares en cualquier parte del cuerpo; son de origen traumtico
o pueden venir por el ejercicio exagerado; las partes afectadas se sienten doloridas y
magulladas, detalle tan importante para la eleccin del medicamento.
Arnica puede emplearse en el reumatismo; no en el verdadero reumatismo

inflamatorio, sino en el reumatismo local que sobreviene en tiempo de invierno y que
parece ser resultado de los efectos combinados de la exposicin a la humedad y el fro, y
de las torceduras musculares causadas por un ejercicio brusco. Las partes afectadas se
sienten doloridas y magulladas, aumentando esta sensacin por cualquier movimiento.
Hay dolores agudos de dardo, que se extienden del codo al antebrazo o de las piernas a los
pies; stos se hinchan frecuentemente y se sienten magullados. Para los contusiones, los
medicamentos en que debe pensarse, relacionados con Arnica, son los siguientes : primero
Rhus tox., que como se ha dicho ya ms de una vez, es de preferirse a Arnica en la
contusin de las articulaciones y de los ligamentos. Rhus obra sobre los tejidos fibrosos.
Arnica se adapta a la tumefaccin de los otros tejidos.
Debe pensarse en Calendula para las heridas con desgarro y posiblemente con prdida
de substancia. Calendula, combatiendo la inflamacin de las partes afectadas, favorece la
formacin de granulaciones cicatriciales.
Hypericum debe sstituir a Arnica cuando han sido lesionados los nervios a la vez que
las dems partes blandas. Hyperiucm no tiene rival en las machacaduras de los dedos, pues
alivia el dolor y promueve la cicatrizacin; frecuentemente sigue bien a Arnica en las
conmociones medulares. El Dr. Ludlam, de Chicago, es partidario de Hypericum en estos
accidentes medulares. Ha aliviado algunos casos graves con l.
Otro medicamento til es Staphysagria; presta servicios en las heridas de bordes

regulares tales como las quirrgicas y por lo tanto, est indicado en los sntomas
resultantes de esta clase de operaciones. An cuando los sntomas subsecuentes a una
operacin no tengan relacin aparente con la patogenesia de Staphygrasia, son de
esperarse buenos efectos de su aplicacin, cuando reconozcan este origen.
Ledum sigue a Arnica, cuando ste no ha aliviado el dolorimiento; es tambin de

utilidad en las heridas causadas por armas punzantes y en las heridas punzo-cortantes.
Symphytum officinale, es el remedio adecuado para las contusiones seas. Por

ejemplo, cuando un golpe sobre el ojo, afecta las lminas orbitarias del hueso frontal.
Despus de las amputaciones, puede administrarse en la irritabilidad del mun; as como
en la irritabilidad del punto de unin de los huesos fracturados. Si este ltimo sntoma es
resultado de la nutricin defectuosa, debepensarseenCalcarea phosphrica
.Puede administrarse Arnica como preventivo en la pioemia. Algunos mdicos creen

que este medicamento promueve la evacuacin del pus. hacindolo salir a la superficie.
Ciertos cirujanos, prescriben Arnica al interior y en aplicaciones locales, despus de las
intervenciones, con el fin de evitar la pioemia.
En esta propiedad de Arnica, se funda la costumbre inveterada de muchos mdicos,

administrando la droga a las parturientas despus del alumbramiento. Tiende a aliviar el
adolorimiento consecutivo al trabajo del parto y promueve las contracciones normales del
tero, y la expulsin de los cogulos y fragmentos de membranas que pudieran haber
quedado retenidas.
Arnica tiene accin sobre la piel produciendo furnculos en todo el cuerpo. Se inician
por dolor y llegan hasta la supuracin, siendo seguidos de otros brotes. Puede usarse
tambin en los abscesos y diviesos que han supurado parcialmente, pero que en vez de
evacuar el contenido, se retraen por la absorcin del pus. Arnica aplicado interior y
exteriormente corrige este defecto, llevndolos a su maduracin.
Siguiendo el estudio de Arnica, deseo llamar la atencin acerca de los efectos que
produce en el canal alimenticio. Est indicado en la dispepsia, cuando despus de las
comidas hay amenaza de apopleja con cefalalga pulstil y somnolencia; tambin cuando
hay cierta dificultad en la digestin; el aliento es ftido; hay sarro viscoso y amarillento en
la lengua; eructos que tienen sabor de huevos pudridos; distensin timpnica del abdomen
y deyecciones ftidas.
El clera infantil, la diarrea y la disentera, pueden reclamar el uso de Arnica, cuando

las evacuaciones son ftidas, viscosas, sanguinolentas y hasta purulentas, acompaadas de
gran urgencia y esfuerzo para defecar. Los sntomas disppticos antes sealados, estarn
presentes y habr dolores agudos y pungitivos en las paredes del abdomen. El enfermo
tiene sed y sin embargo no sabe qu es lo que desea beber.
Para terminar mis observaciones acerca de Arnica, deseo hacer mencin de su

aplicacin en la tos ferina. Est indicado en los nios cuando la tos es violenta y hay
cosquilleo, pareciendo ser excitado cada vez que el nio se encoleriza. Se le va la
respiracin cada vez que llora y empieza a llorar antes de los paroximos. Por qu? porque
hay adolorimiento de los pulmones y la trquea; el nio sabe lo que le va a pasar y teme el
dolor. Tal es la interpretacin de este sntoma. La expectoracin es espumosa y viscosa y
siempre mezclada con sangre.
En la compresin cerebral por la extravasacin de sangre en los casos de apopleja,

puede ser de utilidad Arnica; cuando como consecuencia de esto hay hemiplega, hay un
adolorimiento y magulladura en todo el cuerpo; las lceras por decbito se forman
rpidamente.

Caractersticas.- Crece en las montaas. Arnica se dice que posee una afinidad nativa a los
efectos de las cadas. Como su nombre en alemn Falkraut, atestigua su valor como un
vulnerario (cura heridas) que se ha conocido desde remotos tiempos. Se puede decir
que es el traumtico por excelencia. Traumatismos en todas sus variedades y efectos,
recientes o remotos, se encuentran en Arnica como en ningn otro medicamento, y las
experimentaciones nos dan lo apropiado del medicamento en los sntomas que causa.
Tumores en muchos lugares que siguen a traumatismos, se han curado con Arnica,
incluyendo tumores cirrosos de mama. Afecciones nerviosas como corea despus de
cadas. Se adapta a personas pletricas con cara roja; "Arnica se adapta particularmente
a personas sanguneas, pletricas, con tez vvida y tendencia a la congestin cerebral.
Acta dbilmente en personas que son positivamente debilitadas con empobrecimiento
de la sangre y tejidos blandos. Esto puede ser la razn por la que es comido con
impunidad por animales herbvoros como lo seala Linneus" (Teste). Se adapta a
personas que son extremadamente sensibles a lesiones mecnicas, y quienes sienten los
efectos de ellos por largo tiempo despus; personas que fcilmente se marean en barco
o tren. Pacientes que se quejan que la cama est dura, no importa que tan blanda pueda
estar. Arnica corresponde a los efectos de tos violenta o estornudo; el nio llora antes
de toser (o con la tos) en tos ferina. Bronquitis crnica cuando el paciente se ha
lastimado, dolor dbil en el pecho o gran sensibilidad en el pecho al esfuerzo o caminar.
Relacionado a las heridas y hemorragias, y Arnica causa y cura muchas clases de
hemorragias; dilatacin y ruptura de pequeos vasos sanguneos. Vmito, tos, diarrea
se acompaan de estras de sangre en sus eliminaciones; extravasacin de sangre en la
conjuntiva como en tos ferina. Hemorragias en los tejidos de rganos internos o en la
piel. Un sntoma impar de Arnica es "frialdad en la nariz"." Un caso de neuralgia facial
izquierda, cara hinchada, roja obscura, muy sensible al tacto, fue curada con Arnica
(radix), el sntoma gua fue "Nariz fra". Paciente tena gusto amargo; muy excitable, y
< en la noche. Ussher nota que el uso local de Arnica produce un extraordinario
crecimiento de cabello en una extremidad. Esto sugiere el uso de un aceite mezclado
con Arnica 1x en caso de calvicie, que fue seguido con xito marcado. Arnica afecta la
extremidad superior izquierda y el pecho derecho. Hay putridez en relacin con las
excreciones de Arnica como en Baptisia, que se parece en estados tifodicos: aliento
ptrido, sudor ptrido. Con Arnica es capaz de aumentar el paso de heces y orina en
estos estados. Nash da lo siguiente como indicaciones: "Estupor, con eliminacin
involuntaria de heces y orina." "Temor de ser tocado o golpeado por aquellos que se le
acercan." "Olor ptrido de la boca." "Golpeado, sensacin de adolorido en la regin
uterina; no puede caminar erecta." "Mientras contesta cae en un estupor profundo antes
de terminar." " Cabeza sola o cara sola, calientes; resto del cuerpo fro." "Muchos
pequeos furnculos, dolorosos, uno tras de otro, extremadamente adoloridos."
"Sbito", es un aspecto de los dolores de Arnica y de sus acciones. P.P. Wells relata una
cura de pleuro-neumona doble en un nio con dolores encajantes sbitos en ambos
lados del pecho casi le evitaban respirar. Arnica instantneamente causa una violenta
agravacin, al siguiente instante la mejora es perfecta, y el nio se duerme respirando
naturalmente. Una vez atraves con una pieza de alambre, la punta de uno de mis
dedos, causando dolor paralizante. Apliqu Arnica 1x al momento, y el dolor se mejor
instantneamente- parece que limpia el punto de la lesin hasta el brazo. Hay < en
humedad, tiempo fro con Arnica, que est incluido por Grauvogl entre los
medicamentos que se adaptan a constituciones hidrogenoides (comparar Baryt. c. ).
Movimiento y esfuerzo <. (Golpeado, sensacin de adolorido en el pecho al caminar). >

no debe ser usado externamente cuando la piel est rota. Por desgarros y heridas
