🧠General & Mental Health
▲GENERAL
The chemical compound Alumina is prepared from aluminium, a
metal from which numerous utensils are made.
Most cooking pots
and bathroom appliances are made from it.
Early on, this metal was
very costly, only the rich and the el ite could afford aluminium pots.
Now, due to industrial development, this metal is vastly available and
is quite cheap with the poor tending to use these utensils the most.
Modern research has indicated that the prolonged use of aluminium
pots for cooking produces a very harmful effect on the health of the
users.
This poison affects slowly, but becomes a permanent part of
the human body.
The aluminium constricts the walls of blood vessels.
Cholesterol starts depositing its elf inside the blood vessels.
Progressive narrowing or even to tal blockage can ensue.
Thus,
cholesterol can cause a heart attack due to the blockage of the arteries
leading to the heart.
Similarly, it affects the blood vessels going to the
brain.
This process of progressive hardening and narrowing of the
arteries is called “Art eriosclerosis".
The ag eing process starts to
manifest itself fast.
The memory becomes weak.
The blood pressure
fluctuates.
Mental and physical deterioration sets in Alumina, being
a slow acting remedy, should be us ed for long periods extending over
years.
To achieve permanent cure , one should use Alumina in high
potency at long intervals, such as 1000 or 10,000 given once in a
month.
A potency 200 will have to be given every ten days, extending
over many months or years.
In th e beginning of th e treatment, no
beneficial effect will be noticed .
Once the improvement begins, the
dead and dying fibres of the circular muscles start reverting to life.
The patient must be told to continue the treatment for at least a year or
two without fail in order to get relief from this long-established
disease.
The Alumina itch does not exhibit lumps or bumps.
At first, the
itching begins on apparently clean , healthy-looking skin.
Itching
leads to inflammation which leads to formation of pimples or, on
scratching intensely, blister formati on One may bleed as a result of
scratching.
The affected part be comes insensitive and subject to
infection and further complication.
In general, (unlike Alumina), in
most of the remedies, the bumps over the skin appear first and the
itching comes on later.
The eyelids swell and become thick and heavy.
The eyelashes fall.
The vision becomes blurred.
The eyes are very sensitive to light,
especially in the morning.
The ey elids are sticky and the objects look
pale or yellow.
The stomach fails to function.
There is a complete loss of appetite and
dislike for meat.
The patient craves to eat indigestible things like clay
and coal.
The stomach becomes inflamed and goes into spasms.
One
of the main features is marked acidity.
Nothing tastes right.
There is
frequent acidic belching.
Alumina is useful in all these symptoms.
The dysfunction of the stomach is due to the narrowing and thickening
of its blood vessels.
Alumina is very useful in acute hyperacidity, as well as the chronic
illnesses of the stomach.
It relieves long-standing haemorrhoids.
It
also relieves acidity in both men an d women.
It is particularly useful
in the leucorrhoea associated with ac idic discharge.
This discharge is
so acidic, that it may lead to other illnesses.
Normally, women do not
get constipated during pregnancy, in Alumina however, they do.
Constipation associated with pregnancy , which is transient or of
long-standing, will respond to Alumina administration.
Alumina is very important in a chronic cough originating from the
lungs, as are Bacillinum, Phosphorus, Arsenic, Iodide and Kali Carb.
If the other symptoms of Alumina are also present, this would be the
most appropriate remedy.
In Alumina, typically, reasoning and decision-making deteriorate.
One may not easily decide one way or the other.
The mind becomes
cloudy and suspicious.
Whatever the pa tient sees or hears, it appears
to him as if somebody else is seeing or hearing it.
He loses his self-identity.
Sometimes, he wishes to occupy someone else’s mind so
that he may observe things better.
This slowly progressive trend of
his drives him insane.
However, he is not dangerous to others, he
simply gets lost in himself.
Mentally, the patient shows impatience.
For him, time stands still, but
he likes it to pass quickly.
At the sight of sh arp weapons, he is afraid,
lest he may hurt himself.
Such pa tients frighten others by pretending

may leap to their death.

He has the desire to
distance himself from hi s surroundings.

morning.

difficulty in swallowing.
Due to weakness of these muscles, the food
may enter the windpipe or nose.
Paralysis may affect the sphincte r muscles of the bladder and the
rectum, resulting in difficulty in pass ing urine and stools.
The patient
has to strain his abdominal muscles, even if the stools are soft.
Urinary symptoms resemble those of enlarged prostate gland.
Many a
time, the stools resemble the droppin gs of a goat, camel and horse, in
the shape of small or large balls, which stick to each other.
The stools
may be soft or thick but are difficult to pass.
In Graphites and Plumbum too, stools are similar.
The urine may leak

the sphincter muscles at the anus.

situation, long term use of Alumina is beneficial.

The
patient has chronic catarrh, which is full of dry encrustations with long
strings.
The catarrh may result in the dimness of the eyesight.
The
inner linings (mucus membranes) of the stomach, intestines and
kidneys become inflamed.
Headache also, is common with the cold.
Like the mucus membranes, the skin also becomes subjected to many
ailments.
As a result of intense itching, the skin becomes thick and
sore and may even ulcerate.
As in Sulphur, the warmth of the bed
intensifies the itching.
The face feels as if a cobweb is spread over it.
The tip of the nose shows cuts.
The eyes burn and trachoma may
develop.
Alumina affects both flexor as well as extensor muscles (the

fullness around it.

The
man becomes sexually impotent in spite of being in good general
health.
As a result of prolonged catarrh the women develop chronic
leucorrhoea.
The uterus tends to sag downwards, much more so on
