SOMETHING ABOUT CHINA
(PART I - RELATIONSHIP AND GLIPMSE OF MIND)

PARTIALLY SIMILAR to Nux-v, Lyco, Chel and Nat –m.With only temporary or partial improvement after these remedies think of China. (Dr.Franz Vermeulen)

China was the first remedy proved by Hahnemann, but Vithoulkas' observations elucidated the personality of the remedy. The China patient is introverted, intense and 'touchy'. The internal sensitivity is similar to Natrum Muriaticum; the tendency to take offense is more reminiscent of Nux Vomica. This combination of sensitivity, idealism and extreme touchiness makes China a useful remedy in teenagers. (Dr.Roger Morrison)

It is difficult to make contact with China patients because they don’t like superficial contacts and can be abusive, impolite and inconsequential in answering questions. They will open up when they feel real interest and sympathy (Dr.Ghegas)
Even the physical modality reflects this... Slight touch aggravates but hard pressure ameliorates

Touchy = easily offended

CHINA is
Complementary to Ferrum met
Incompatible after Digitalis and Selenium
Follows well after Calc phos in hydrocephaloid
Bad effects of excessive tea drinking(Thuja)

SOMETHING ABOUT  - Mag phos (part 1)

Wandering growing pains
(growing pains : Phos acid, Guaiacum, Calc phos)

Enuresis after catheterization......

Tip :acts best when given in warm water.....

Always lamenting about pains......

In addition to its well known modalities of amelioration by warmth, pressure and bending double..... Marked amelioration by rubbing is also to be noted.....

An excerpt from golden rules of prescribing... 

The last appearing symptoms of a case, if outstanding and definite, may not lead us to a similimum buy often they unearth the case and show the way for other remedies.
(last to appear, by that we mean the symptoms that were last to appear before Homeopathic treatment)

(Dr. Luc de Schepper... 
based on Dr. Hering's assertations)

BACK TO BASICS - INIMICAL REMEDIES

Inimicals are remedies when given sequentially,often give strong primary aggravations and complicate the case by producing new peculiar symptoms.Because they have so much in common,there is a close relationship symptomatically.Rather than giving them in sequence ,you should use an intercurrent between the twoinimicals.Inimical remedies,frequently those having similar action and perhaps stemming from a congenial source,seem able to thwart each other,s action and to correct the disordered state of the Vital force which was created by the primary action of the first remedy given.The more closely similar the remedies ,the greater of the similarity of their symptoms,the greater the risk of antagonism between them,and the more certsin the second remedy will injure the case.The Homoeopath needs to have a great respect for inimical remedies or  great many cases will be spoiled.(Dr.Luc dr Schepper)

Some examples of Inimical remedies
Apis- Rhus tox ; Caust - Phos;Silicea- Merc ; Ignatia -Nux v;Staph - Ran b etc

WHEN STUART CLOSE  MENTIONS ABOUT BOENNINGHAUSEN'S OBSERVATIONS ( addendum Dr. Nash in his Materia Medica and Allen keynotes reference)

Deficient reaction or diminished susceptibility may exist in a case or appear during treatment and constitute a condition requiring special treatment. This is especially true in the treatment of chronic diseases, where improvement ceases and well selected remedies do not seem to act. Under such circumstances it may sometimes be necessary to give a due of what is called an "intercurrent remedy." Bœnninghausen mentions as appropriate in such cases: Carbo veg., Lauroc., Mosch., Op., Sulph. To these may be added the typical nosodes: Medorr., Psor., Pyrog., Tuberc., Syphil.,. and also Thuja. The choice of any particular one of these remedies must be governed by the history and symptoms.

Addendum :
Dr. Nash
The fact that Opium is capable of banishing pain, or, rather, I should say, rendering the organism incapable of sensing pain, is one of the chief indications for its use in homœopathic therapeutics. There is not only complete absence from pain, but as complete unsusceptibility to general drug action. You know that we are told that when the seemingly indicated remedy does not act give Sulphur. Now it may be that Opium is a better remedy to give, if all there is of the case is that there seems to be no vital reaction. Sulphur would be likely to be the best remedy if the lack of reaction were due to some psoric taint; but even here all the symptoms must be taken into account. Laurocerasus is another remedy to arouse reaction when it seems to depend upon excessively low vitality. Psorinum may succeed in psoric obstructions to vital reactions when Sulphur fails. There is nothing to be more condemned in homœopathic prescribing than routinism.

Dr.HC Allen mentions Valeriana also bring  in such conditions

Something morefrom Dr.Nash

Capsicum, lack of reaction in persons of lax fibre."

Opium, in patients where there is no pain; stupidity and drowsiness.

Valerian and Ambra in nervous affections, well chosen remedies fail.

Carbo vegetabilis, collapse, coldness of knees, breath; perfect indifference.

Sulphur and Psorinum, where Psora complicates and hinders reaction.

Each one of these remedies may he called for in defective reaction, and there may be many more, and in each case, as with all remedies elsewhere, symptoms must decide whichone.
