Palladium پلاڈیم – The Essential Homeopathic Features Homeopathic Materia Medica VIVA by George Vithoulkas
Palladium پلاڈیم – The Essential Homeopathic Features Palladium patients are having tremendous emotional insecurity with strong emotions that cannot be expressed, and in this way creating a blockade, a deep inner conflict that needs constant support on the part of those around and especially those whom they are intimately connected, all this is coupled with a tremendous unexpressed egoism. They actually think all the time that they are worth more than the others think about them, and it does not matter how much praise they may others use for them it is never enough. An insatiable hunger for flattery, not …
CONIUM MACULATUM کونیم The essential features: Homeopathic Materia Medica VIVA by George Vithoulkas
CONIUM MACULATUM کونیم Poison Hemlock. N.O. Umbelliferae. Tincture of fresh plant in flower. THE ESSENTIAL FEATURES The idea of paralysis in Conium is not so much the one we know from Socrates’ death by the ‘noggin of hemlock’; real paralysis comes only as an end result, and this may take a very long time, twenty years, thirty years, or more. Conium suffers with a gradually progressing weakness and paresis, and gradual is the key word here. The idea is much more that of sclerosis, of becoming hard, especially the glands, which become swollen and indurated. A gradually progressing weakness …
DIGITALIS – ڈیجیٹیلس The essential features: Homeopathic Materia Medica VIVA by George Vithoulkas
DIGITALIS – ڈیجیٹیلس Digitalis purpurea. The foxglove. N.O. Scrophulariaceae. Tincture of the second year leaves. THE ESSENTIAL FEATURES Digitalis is primarily a heart remedy. It should be considered when the pulse is abnormally slow and later in the pathology, fast or irregular, intermittent; where there is heart disease, with great weakness, and the patient can hardly talk, and is losing strength to the point that he feels faint. Cold skin and irregular respiration will often point to such cardiac pathology. All this can be accompanied by deathly nausea and emptiness in the stomach; weakness and dilation of the …
Getting in touch with the correct remedy – Homeopathic Case Taking Series: George Vithoulkas
In order to find the right remedy, the practitioner has to understand the importance of the symptoms given and of those withheld. He must also meet certain inner conditions if the patient is to trust him. To find the right homœopathic remedy, the simillimum as it is called, means to save the patient much suffering. It means that he* is given a great boon: the possibility of becoming healthy and happy once again. A healthy person is one who is free on all three levels of his existence — mental, emotional, and physical — and is therefore able to have a sense …
Homeopathic Remedy Natrum Muriaticum – The Essence of Materia Medica (George Vithoulkas)
The primary characteristic underlying the Natrum mur. pathology is introversion arising out of a feeling of great vulnerability to emotional injury. Natrum mur. patients are emotionally very sensitive; they experience the emotional pain of others, and feel that any form of rejection, ridicule, humiliation or grief would be personally intolerable. Consequently, they create a wall of invulnerability, become enclosed in their own worlds, and prefer to maintain control over their circumstances. They avoid being hurt at all costs. People susceptible to developing the Natrum mur. type of pathology are emotionally sensitive and vulnerable, but quite clear and strong on mental …
Allium Sativum – Homeopathic Remedy – Materia Medica Viva George Vithoulkas
Allium Sativum Garlic. N.O. Liliaceae. Tincture of fresh bulb The essential features Allium sativum is another remedy to be classed among the neglected remedies in our Materia Medica. I consider it to be an important and valuable remedy in certain cases for which Bryonia, Kali bichromicum, Sulphur, Lachesis, belladonna etc. are given today. It corresponds to fleshy people with voracious appetites, with chronic spastic colitis where there is a lot of gas that cannot come out and that causes pain. There is a pressing pain – from within outwards – in the upper abdomen and along the transverse colon …
