🧠General & Mental Health
▲GENERAL
Baptisia is a well-known, tested remedy for day-to-day ailments.
It is
related to decay and fetidness.
For example, the diarrhoea of typhoid
fever in which the stools smell awfully putrid will best respond to
Baptisia.
Typhoid diarrhoea is not that severe, but the stools are pasty
and smell foul.
Baptisia is very useful in the infectious conditions of the throat.
The
throat is commonly involved in infections which may not be painful as
yet, however, the tonsils exhibit th e grievous state of infection.
Baptisia is the most effective homoeopathic remedy for such a throat
condition with offensive odour, even if there is no associated pain.
In cases of uterine sepsis and infe ctions of other parts of the body
associated with putrefaction, Baptis ia is very useful, but the best
remedy would still be Sulphur 200 and Pyrogenium 200 given
together.
However, if the specific symptoms of Baptisia are manifest;
Baptisia 30 may also be administered for added advantage.
In typhoid fever, if the signs and symptoms of Baptisia are present,
administration of Baptisia is a must.
The combined use of
Typhoidinum 200 and Pyrogenium 200 will enhance its effectiveness.
In typhoid, the distension of the a bdomen is much more compared to
the degree of fever.
The entire body is being melted gradually, while
the belly becomes puffed up.
In this condition, if Baptisia symptoms
are also present, then the following regimen should be implied:
1.
Until the fever subsides completely i.e no fever in the morning
and evening, Typhodinum and Pyrogenium should be
administered three times a day and Baptisia 30 five to six times a
day.
2.
After the fever has subsided, Pyrogenium and Typhoidinum
should be administered once a da y and Baptisia 30 three times a
day, for at least one week.
3.
In the third week, Pyrogenium and Typhoidinum should be
administered twice a week and Baptisia 30 three times a day.
If the above regimen is continued for at least 21 days then there will
be no fear of recurrence of typhoi d and, by Allah’s grace, no residual
bad affects will remain.
In case there are no associated symptoms of Baptisia and the patient is
rather constipated, Kali Phos a nd Ferrum Phos 6X should be used
along with Typhoidinum and Pyrogenium (instead of Baptisia).
One homoeopathic doctor has writte n in his book about a patient who
went blind due to typhoid and regain ed his eyesight during a fever he
contracted after taking some other medicine.
Such astounding events
do take place, although rarely.
Acco rding to allopathy, neurologists
claim that once dead the nerves cannot rejuvenate.
One thing is
definitely certain that typhoid is a very danger ous disease.
Its ill
effects on the brain can result in insanity for the rest of ones life.
Such
an afflicted patient exhibits signs of Stramonium and Hyoscyamus
(both these remedies are also useful in typhoid).
They ameliorate the
symptoms but do not provide a cure.
Baptisia is also useful in dental diseases especially when the gums
are inflamed, produce stinking pus and recede from the teeth.
One typical sign of Baptisia is that the patient is drowsy or semi-
conscious.
He feels as if his limb s are not connected together.
His
personality is also similarly di vided.
The organs of his body are
lethargic.
Even on being awakened , he is drowsy, trying to concert
his efforts.
He sometimes talks to his limbs.
At times, he feels as if
one of his legs is actually talking to the other.
He has to be aroused to
answer a question, yet he will fall asleep while still trying to find an
answer.
Baptisia is the best re medy in such a state of mental
confusion, provided the other symptoms of Baptisia are also present.
In Baptisia, the stools are clay -coloured, yellowish or sometimes
greyish and are pasty in nature.
At times there are beads of cold sweat
on the forehead showing that the body strength is dwindling.
In this
condition, the tongue becomes dry a nd stiff, ulcers form around the
teeth which stink.
Even in this grave condition, if given promptly,
Baptisia may restore life.
In Baptisia ulcers in the mouth can become gangrenous
(Cancrumoris).
They are not painful though there is an extremely bad
taste in the mouth.
The tissues around the ulcers become numb and
demarcated or separated.
At this stage, the Homoeopathic remedy
cannot reach the affected tissues.
So it is important that the condition
be diagnosed in good time in order to avert this grave situation.
In Baptisia, involvement of the throat permits the swallowing of the
liquids but causes great difficulty in swallowing solid food .
If the
patient forces himself to swa llow the solid food, he may choke
himself.
In Baptisia, some ailments manifest weakness due to paralysisLoss of voluntary muscle functionThe loss of the ability to move (and sometimes to feel anything) in part or most of the body..
On
the same basis the intestinal paralysis causes distension of the
abdomen.
In Homoeopathy, it is vita l to know the basic nature of the
remedy.
A characteristic feature is that the afflicted part of the body is
only partially paralysed and there is decreased sensitivity of that part
to the pain.
By remembering this particular feature, Baptisia will
hopefully be put to use in a timely fashion.
