SOMETHING ABOUT ABROTANUM - Part 1

1)A great characteristic is the so-called metastasis and the alternation between different disease symptoms i.e. one diseased condition completely disappears and another takes its place.
Inflammation of the parotids changes to inflammation in the testes or mammary glands. (Puls.,) Hydrocele after suppressed eruption. Headache alternates with hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids alternate with rheumatism. Rheumatism alternates with diarrhea or dysentery. Diarrhea alternates with constipation

2)The weakness and prostration combined with a kind of hectic fever can also occur after an influenza especially in children. (One should not only think of remedies like Gels., Chin., etc. in such cases.)

3)* Metastasis.
* Ill effects of suppressed conditions especially in gouty subjects
* After operation upon the chest for hydrothorax or empyaemia, a pressing sensation remains.

4) By and large the best picture of Abrotanum is to be found in Allen's keynotes - Dr.M L Tyler

5)The changing of one so-called disease into another always calls attention to Abrotanum.
or Pulsatilla, but Abrot. has cured when these remedies have failed.

WISDOM FROM Dr.E.B. NASH

"A small farm well tilled is better than a large one slighted." - Haymakers

One remedy well studied is better than several not half understood. One of the best methods of gaining a practical acquaintance with our Materia Medica, is to master one remedy at a time; both in itself, and its relation to, and correspondence with, other remedies.

Dr Adolph Lippe said in substance: "The man who has mastered Lycopodium, and its relations, is well on his way to a practical knowledge of our Materia Medica.
