# Thuja Occidentalis ## Remedy Classification - **Type:** Herbal Remedy - **Miasm:** Sycotic Miasm - **Temperament:** Chilly - **Aggravation Time:** Morning ## Keynote Indications Source: Derived from the fresh leaves and twigs of Thuja occidentalis, commonly known as the. Northern White Cedar or Arbor Vitae, a coniferous tree in the Cupressaceae family, prepared for. homeopathic use through trituration and serial dilution to enhance therapeutic action while. eliminating material toxicity, in accordance with homeopathic pharmacopeia standards. Traditional Context: Historically employed in homeopathy for constitutional, dermatological,. psychological, and immunological disorders, particularly those involving chronic conditions,. warty growths, and sycotic miasmatic tendencies. It is noted for symptoms such as warty. excrescences, fixed ideas, and aggravation from dampness, often worsened by dampness, cold, or. vaccination, and ameliorated by warmth, dry weather, or motion. Modern Context: Indicated for constitutional conditions (e.g., chronic fatigue syndrome,. autoimmune disorders), dermatological conditions (e.g., warts, seborrheic keratosis),. psychological conditions (e.g., obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression), and immunological. conditions (e.g., recurrent infections, post-vaccination syndromes). It suits patients with chronic. symptoms characterized by warty growths, fixed ideas, chronic fatigue, dampness sensitivity, or. immune dysregulation, typically exacerbated by dampness, cold, vaccination, or stress, and often. seen in individuals with deep-seated, sensitive constitutions. The remedy is particularly relevant for. those with dermatological or constitutional conditions, often presenting with symptoms like warts. or obsessive thoughts, commonly observed in patients with warts, chronic fatigue syndrome, or. obsessive-compulsive disorder triggered by dampness, cold, or immune stressors. ## Modalities (Aggravations / Ameliorations) Worse from: Dampness (weather, environments), cold (air, drinks), vaccination, stress,. night, rest, scratching, touch, confinement, fasting, tight clothing, morning. ## Symptoms by System ### Mind -

It assumes a conical form with such true lines as to appear ‘clipped.’ thus forming one of our most valued high-hedge trees. - “It abounds in the northern zones of North America from Pennsylvania northw ards. - There it “often forms what are commonly known as cedar -swamps. - It grows upon the rocky banks of rivers and in low, swampy spots, blossoming from May until June and maturing its fruit in autumn.” Teste remarked that in the period when the doctrine of signatures prevailed, the “Resinous callosities of the stems and leaves of Thuja might have seemed an indication that the plant was the specific for sycosis and warts.” Teste dismissed this idea, but he did ask whether resinous substances that have the power of modifying vegetable juices in a peculiar way may not affect the animal fluids in the same manner. - He included Castoreum canadense in his Thuj. - group and followed by giving an instance in which it acted on fig-warts. - Castoreum canadense is the product of an animal that subsists on the bark of resinous trees. - Hering described Thuj.’s action on fluids as “dissolution of fluids of the body, which become acrid, probably caused by Thuja perverting lymphatic secretions, disturbs digestion and sanguification .” He went on to discuss Thuja’s action in the vegetative sphere: “A surplus of pro ducing life, nearly unlimited proliferation of pathological vegetations, condylomata, warty sycotic excrescences, spongy tumors and spongy pock exudates which organize hastily. - All morbid manifestations are excessive, but appear quietly, so that the beginning of the diseased state is scarcely know.” Boenninghausen found Thuja both pre ventive and curative during an epidemic of smallpox. - It aborted the disease process and pr evented pitting. - In veterinary practice, Thuja has proved curative in farcy and in “grease.” These clinical uses point to Thuj.’s affinity to vaccinations. - No one has written more forcibly or lucidly on this than Burnett did in his book, Vaccinosis and its Cure by Thuja. - “Arbor Vitae: nomen omen,” said Burnett on his title page. - In his hands, Thuj. - proved to be a tree of life to numberless sufferers from the vaccination miasm. - By “vaccinosis” Burnett meant the disease known as vaccinia, the result of vaccin ation, in addition to “that profound and often long -lasting morbid constitutional state engendered by the vaccine virus.” Thuj. - is homeopathic to this state, and therefore curative and preventive of it. - Burnett made the observation, which Clarke confirmed, that the vaccination does not need to take in order to produce the vaccination miasm. - Many people date their ill health from a so -called unsuccessful vac cination, so vaccinosis may exist apart from vaccinia. - The anti-vaccinosis action of Thuj. - is part of its anti-sycotic action, therefore vaccinosis is a sycotic disease. - Burnett noted the case of an infant, ten weeks old, whom he was called to see as it was supposed to be dying. - He found it ghastly white and in collapse. - There was Thuja occidentalis nothing to account for this except that the baby had its wet-nurse changed two or three days before. - The wet-nurse was questioned and declared herself quite well and looked it, but “her arm was a little painful.” She had been revaccinated in the Marylebone Workhouse the day before she took charge of the patient. - Burnett found the vaccine eruption just turning into the pustular stage. - He concluded that the infant was sucking in the vaccine poison with its nurse’s milk. - He gave Thuj. - 6c to both infant and nurs e. - The baby gradually improved the same day and the next morning, though still pale, was practically well and the vaccine vesicles on the nurse’s arm had withered. - Burnett quoted a case of vaccine rash in an infant following the vaccination of its mother, who was nursing it. - The effects of chronic vaccinosis are protean. - Prominent among them are asthma, neuralgias, skin disorders, indigestion and constipation, warts and new growths of many kinds. - Emaciation, brain damage, epilepsy and blindness. - Hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder and autism. - In these effects, a favorite method of Burnett’s was to give a course of twenty - four numbered powders, only three or four of them medicated with Thuj. - 30c, one to be taken at bedtime. - With the same prescription, he cured many cases of paralysis; his indications included paralysis of left side of body, very chilly, worse in morning, in wet weather and in cold. - Burnett also found enlargements of the spleen to dissolve with these indications. - The first case Clarke t reated homeopathically was one involving new growths. - There was a cluster of small warts on the forehead of a boy that had lasted eighteen months, following a cat’s scratch. - Thuj. - in small doses and tincture painted on permanently cured in three weeks. - A gentleman, about 50, consulted Clarke about a wart on the right side of his head. - He was then bald and the wart developed in the same locality soon after and has since remained. - The patient had been twice vaccinated. - Clarke gave him Thuj. - 30c, twenty-eight powders, one in seven medicated, one at bedtime. - In one month there was much reduction, Thuj. - was repeated and in little over two months the wart was goift. - Burnett suggested Thuj. - for fatty tumors, which he regards as sycotic in nature. - Thuja not only pr oduces symptoms of the secondary stage of gonorrheal and vaccine affections, it also produces urethritis and a variolous eruption. - Dudgeon reported acute urethritis with yellow discharge lasting altogether a fortnight as the result of chewing a Thuja cone. - Goullon cured a lady who had a headache for a year. - On waking, she felt as if a tight hoop enclosed her forehead, not passing away until noon. - Eyelids heavy as lead. - Thuj. - lOx, one dose at bedtime, perma nently cured. - Robert Farley related the case of two children, age 5, who had what he graphically termed “urinary tantrums.” Two hours after being put to bed they would wake kicking, crying and refusing to answer a question. - This lasted an hour or more. - Asked if they wanted to urinate they would refuse to answer, strike at attendant, or even say “No.” Finally it was found that if they were taken up and put on the closet they would urinate and then go to sleep readily. - One of the children developed signs of incipient inflammation of the left hip joint. - The totality led to the selection of Thuj., which was given in the 200c. - After the first night there were no more “tantrums,” and in two months the child was perfectly well. - This child’s father had gonorrhea, treated by injection, some years before the patient was born. - But the other child’s father had not had gonorrhea. - In the latter case, which was exactly like the former, the cure was immediate, in the former case relief occurred on the second night. - C. - W. - Roberts found Thuj. - in five to seven drop doses at bedt ime, to control nocturnal seminal emissions better than any other remedy. - “Nocturnal seminal emission” is an emphasized symptom. - Percy Wilde recorded the case of a young married woman who had a large epulis on her lower jaw, rapidly increasing in size, ulc erating on the surface, very painful and filling the mouth with an ill -smelling secretion. - The entire tumor was removed by operation and also the subjoined bone. - Three weeks later the tumor was as large as before and increased daily. - Thuj. - lx was then giv en. - The growth stopped immediately, ulceration ceased, and the pain disappeared. - In three weeks the gum was healthy and remained so permanently. - Villers related a case of scalp tumor in a youth of seventeen. - The tumor had existed for two years and had somewhat the appearance of a bean. - It was situated about the posterior edge of the parietal bone, was devoid of sensation and the hair had disappeared from it, making it very conspicuous. - Thuj. - 30c was given, a dose every twenty days. - In four months the you th was almost cured, entirely so in five months, and the hair grew again completely covering the spot. - George Royal related a case of persistent cough cured withThuj. - Miss X., 19, fair, had for three months a painless, dry cough. - The irritation was only in the throat. - There were six small growths at the back of her throat and one near the vocal cord. - She had never had a cough before. - She also had green, excoriating leucorrhea and menses that were a little too early. - Thuj. - 30c cured the growths and the cough in about three weeks. - R. - B. - Johnstone offered some indications for Thuj. - in hernia. - He found it particularly useful for women with a sycotic history who have a tendency to left-side inguinal hernia after labor. - When babies cry a lot, the umbilicus protrudes, growing red and sore, especially when the father has a sycotic history. - Left inguinal hernia in infants, child cries all the time and is only quiet when the left inguinal region is relie ved from pressure or the thigh is flexed on the abdomen. - Burnett recorded a case of lichen urticatus in a boy of 14, which came into his hands after a long course of treatment, external, internal and dietetic, at the hands of allopathic specialists without result. - The rash came periodically in warm weather; the patient literally tore himself because of the irritation. - The rash was worse on the left (vaccinated) side. - Thuj. - 30c was given in infrequent doses. - The spots continued to appear for a week and then disappeared. - The skin remained clear in spite of the patient indu lging in all kinds of previously forbidden foods. - Birthmarks and stains (Sep., Care.). -
