Traditional Context: Historically employed in homeopathy for  renal, urinary, gastrointestinal,. and respiratory disorders , particularly those involving inflammation, hemorrhage, or mucous. membrane irritation. It is noted for symptoms such as burning urination, hematuria, and aggravation. from  dampness,  often  worsened  by  dampness,  cold,  or  pressure,  and  ameliorated  by  warmth,. motion, or fresh air. Modern  Context:  Indicated  for  renal  and  urinary  conditions (e.g.,  cystitis,  nephritis),. gastrointestinal conditions (e.g., enterocolitis, irritable bowel syndrome), respiratory conditions. (e.g., bronchitis, asthma), and  constitutional conditions  (e.g., chronic inflammatory states, post-. infectious sequelae). It suits patients with acute or chronic symptoms characterized by  burning. pains,  hemorrhage,  mucous membrane irritation ,  dampness sensitivity , or  fatigue, typically. exacerbated by dampness, cold, pressure, or rest, and often seen in individuals with sensitive,. inflammatory constitutions. The remedy is particularly relevant for those with renal or urinary. conditions,  often  presenting  with  symptoms  like  burning  urination  or  hematuria,  commonly. observed  in  patients  with  cystitis,  nephritis,  or  enterocolitis  triggered  by  dampness,  cold,  or. infection.","modalities":"Worse from: Dampness (weather, environments), cold (air, drinks), pressure, rest, night,. exertion, eating, odors, emotional stress, lying down (respiratory symptoms), tight clothing,. fasting.","symptoms_by_system":{"Mind":"Anxiety on going to bed.

Inhaled, it causes sneezing, tightness across the eyes and dyspnea.  \nGiven internally, it causes burning in the mouth and salivation in stomach, sensation of heat or cold , gastro-\nenteritis with vomiting and diarrhea, and ulceration of the intestines. The pulse is sometimes slowed, \nsometimes quickened. \nRespiration is quickened and spasmodic, the chemical is partly excreted by the lungs and acts on the mucus \nmembrane, lessening its secretion.

Cooper found Ter. \nindicated in children (especially teething children) when they fly into passions. \nLippe observed that this irritability manifests itself in some cases of spasms and convulsions. He had a case \nof a woman who had made her feet sore by walking and ap plied turpentine to them. This was followed by a \nstate like hydrophobia, she had spasms whenever she saw water, heard it poured, or saw a bright object and \nalso whenever she attempted to urinate. \nCooper noted the case of a woman, 35, who, from being exposed to the odor of turpentine, got pain as from \npinchings in the throat with lifeless feeling in the tongue and dryness of the mouth, followed by pain in her right \neyeball, which extended back to the same side of occiput. \nS. H. Roberts maintained that Ter. had a specific effect in tonsillitis when applied externally. \nMarc Jousset gave Ter. lx with marked benefit in two cases of bronchial asthma. He was led to give it in the \nfirst case by coincident hematuria, but this was not present in the second. \nA young man who was badly poisoned by a low potency of Pho s. got more relief from Ter. 3x than from any \nother remedy. \nBrunton argued that it is only ozonized Ter. that is effective in such cases. Dr. Her ing says the ozonized oil is \nrecommended as a prophylactic in malarial and African fevers, a few drops being g iven daily on a lump of \nsugar. \nGeorge Royal gave three cases illustrating the action of Ter. The first concerned a man, 24, with typhoid in the \nthird week. He had extreme distention, with a rapid, small and compressible pulse. Cold sweat in lower limbs.  \nTer. 6x was given, two drops in water every half -hour. Oil of Ter. was applied locally to the abdomen, mixed \nwith lard. Later in the evening, when there was already slight improvement, an injection containing turpentine \nwas administrated. This relieved the patient of a large quantity of flatus and he began to recover the next \nmorning. \nThe second case concerned pyemia after miscarriage at the third month, brought on by the patient herself. \nEnormous distention, lower limbs covered with cold sweat, lochia thin, scanty offensive. \nTer. given in another case brought about slow improvement for three days, when Chin. 30c was indicated and \nfinished the cure. \nThe third case from Royal concerned a teamster, 36, who had severe nephritis after being out in cold rain. He \nhad a constant desire to urinate, severe pain in back, down ureter to bladder, urine scanty, very high -colored. \nTemperature 102. Pulse weak, 130. Ter. 6x was given every half-hour and hot fomentations on kidneys greatly \nrelieved. After three days he was able to leave his bed. \nRoyal considered cold sweat of lower limbs and rapid pulse with the distention, as leading indications. A \nkeynote of Burnett\u2019s forTer. is \u201cPains in the bowels which causes frequent urination.\u201d","Head":"Dull pain like from a band around the head (Carb-ac.).
