🧠General & Mental Health
▲GENERAL
Ergot, a dreadful poison, has been used since ancient times in labour,
despite the fact that its slight est overdose can prove extremely
dangerous.
The general health of the woman can be seriously affected
and she may suffer from some sort of serious internal problem
throughout her life.
There is no known cure for such complications so
far.
Ergot has a constricting effect on the arteries and other tissues of the
body, resulting in seriou s life-long illnesses.
A woman overdosed
with Ergot suffers from continuous dark coloured vaginal bleed.
The
body becomes thin and wasted.
The skin becomes dark and
contracted.
The limbs can become paralysed.
The patient cannot
tolerate heat.
He/she likes to be in the open air and cold.
As in
Arsenic, the patient feels very restless and a burning inside.
The
difference is that the Secale patie nt feels hot inside though the body
feels cold to touch.
The hands and feet may become ice cold, yet, the
patient feels hot and under fire, putting the feet out of the bed.
Whereas, in Arsenic, the patient fe els severe burning inside, and the
body may not be cold.
He feels bette r in the heat and likes to keep
himself covered and still feels cold, although his body may be warm
on the outside.
He feels better with hot fomentation i.e external heat
seems to suppress his feeling of heat inside.
Concersely a Secale
patient feels comfortable with cold applications.
Even if it is very cold
outside, he feels hot.
Sometimes , it may be very difficult to
distinguish Arsenic from Secale due to similarities of symptoms.
They
are also complimentary.
In other words, they can compliment each
other, if used one after the other.
On proving, it was discovered that Secale works better on patients of
thin and lean build.
Obese people are rarely Secale patients.
This is
why the remedy is described to be ideal for the patients who are thin,
lean and rather emaciated.
Their sk in is dry, shrivelled and very
unhealthy.
As already mentioned, every Secale patient does not have
to be so It can also be effective in obese people.
Additionally, Secale
patients exhibit violet coloured spots or red spots with bluish hue.
It is
the bluish tinge or the cyanosis , which is important.
These spots are
indicative of diminished blood supply to that part of the body, such as
the legs, calves, hands and wrists , especially over the superficial
bones.
In Secale, there is a tendency towards the formation of chronic
sores and ulcers , which can turn into gangrene, on further
deterioration.
For example, a simple cut on the finger may not heal.
Instead, the wound becomes infected and the process of infection may
gradually spread upwards.
It smells terrible.
The affected part can
become rotten leading to the need for amputation through the joint, or
the infection can spread beyond the join t, turning the rest of the limb
gangrenous as well.
In homoeopa thy, by God’s grace, there is
treatment available for gangrene.
I myself have treated many such
patients successfully.
By God’s grace, none of them needed
amputation, whereas, the doctors had definitely made the diagnosis of
gangrene and advised surgery for them .
The first sign of recovery is
change in the colour of the affected part, which starts becoming
pinkish instead of a dark colour.
Secale and Arsenic are both very
useful in the treatment of gangrene.
Addition of Arnica further adds
to their beneficial effect.
In Secale, a feeling of burning se nsation everywhere, affecting the
nose, the throat, as well as the upper respiratory passages.
In Secale, the bleeding, whether from the uterus, the nose or from any
wound or cut, is of dark colour.
This means that the bleeding is of
venous origin.
In the treatment of patients rapidly advancing towards
death, whose blood has become thick, dark and cyanotic, Secale must
be remembered and put to use.
Secale in homoeopathic form is very useful in the treatment of internal
diseases of women such as ulceration of the uterus , causing
continuous dark vaginal bleeding in terrupted with short periods of
dark coloured and offensive sme lling discharge.
The discharge
contains dark blood clots that putref y.
Secale is very important and a
very effective treatment for this condition as well as against the risk of
formation of gangrene inside the ut erus.
General symptoms of Secale
being present, it will cure the abortive tendency of the patient also.
When treated with Secale for a m onth or two, the ut erus recovers
completely and becomes capable of carrying the foetus to full term.
At the time of childbirth, if the uter us is contracting to push the baby
down, but the mouth of the uterus (cervix) becomes tightly
contracted, the child cannot be born.
In this condition, Secale must
be used without delay, otherwis e immediate surgery would be
required to save the life of the patie nt.
If left untreated with Secale
and without immediate surgery, th e patient would die in agony.
Secale can also cure the pain and the excessive dark coloured bleeding
from the uterus after delivery.
Sometimes, the breasts shrink in size
during pregnancy and an insufficient amount of milk is produced.
Secale will restore the normal amount of lactation, which is enough to
feed the baby.
Another symptom of Secale is that the urine is rather black ,
resembling the urine of Terebinthi na.
In Terebinthina, the black
colour is due to the excess of pr otein in the urine, resulting from
damage to the kidneys.
Terebinthina is very effective in this situation.
In Secale, the black colour is not due to an excess of albumin in the
urine; instead, it is due to the mixt ure of blood from the dark coloured
vaginal bleed.
In Secale, a patient of pneumonia can develop gangrene in the lungs
(necrotizing type of pneumonia), which must be treated with Secale.
Timely use of Secale works profoundly and offers immediate
beneficial effect.
Wherever there is a tendency of sores and ulcers to
become necrosed and gangrenous, be it in the stomach, lungs or
anywhere else on the mucous membra nes, Secale must be an essential
part of the treatment in all these conditions.
In Secale, cramps and tightness are common, and may be localized
to the soles of the feet, calves or a part of the upper extremities.
If
other symptoms of Secale are also present, then Secale will provide
immediate relief of the symptoms.
It is also very useful in the
treatment of neuralgias (the lightning type of pain along the course of
the nerves).
These pains are very troublesome.
These pains get better
on covering the affected part of the body.
Insanity is also common in Secale.
The patient becomes delirious
and violent.
Being out of his mind, he exerts his utmost even if he is
physically weak.
It becomes really difficult to control him in this
situation.
In Secale, the stools are black and smell stinky.
The patient is
unaware of his diarrhoea.
The body becomes extremely cold and
weak, yet he feels hot inside and does not like to be covered.
Secale is also useful in the treatment of Asiatic cholera .
As in
Camphor, the body becomes extremely cold, although the patient feels
warm and uncomfortable inside.
In Camphor, the body is cold but the
patient does not feel cold inside.
In Secale, the patient may have paralysis of the legs or any one
particular part of the body .
The paralysis may also affect one side
of the body with no special predilection.
It may affect the right or left
side.
Without wasting time on the di agnosis of the paralysis, if the
general symptoms of Secale are pres ent, it should be used without
delay.
In Secale, whatever part of the body is affected, it feels numb
with a burning sensation.
The cramps and tightness always become
worse at night.
The patient feels better in the open air.
The symptoms
become worse in heat, with hot fo mentation and before the onset of
periods.
