COMMENTS - Xan.
belongs to the Rutaceae and like Ruta, has a vulnerary action, as Clarke discovered in
the case of Miss X., 28, who injured her right ulnar nerve at the elbow by repeatedly striking it against the edge
of a bath while washing some articles.
For two months she had to keep the arm in a sling.
A few weeks after that the arm was swollen.
Some eight
months after the injury Clarke saw her.
The pain centered in the ulnar nerve where it crosses the inner condyle
of the humerus, though there was pain above and below as well.
Clarke gave Ruta 30c, which gave some relief to the pain and relieved a frontal headache to which the patient
was subject.
The arm becoming less well, Clarke gave Xan.
12c four times a day.
This made a distinct
improvement in the arm and also relieved a dysmenorrhea to which Miss X.
was subject.
After treatment with
various potencies of Xan.
the nerve lost its sensitiveness and the patient could use her arm freely.
In one of Cullis’ provers, Miss D.
(there were six provers, three of them women, all took the tincture), the entire
left half of the body became numb, the left half of the head being s harply divided in sensation from the other
half.
These symptoms with the many head pains and fullness in the head, give the correspondence in
hemiplegia in which Xan.
has been given with success.
Two additional provings on women ap pear in C.
D.
P.
In these provings 20 to 100 drop doses of the tincture
were taken and symptoms of great severity were produced.
Both provers had severe dysmenorrhea pains with
increased and anticipating flow.
The symptoms in each case roused the prover from sleep with pain a nd suffocation, the pain being confined
to head, heart, throat and pelvis.
Many of the pains were radiating from above right eye over head from right
ovary down thigh and in other directions.
Left -sided numbness was present in one, who also had symptoms
of levitation and disordered sensation.
Cullis, who had success in cases of dysmenorrhea and amenorrhea, related several cases, including that of
Miss A., 25, brunette, who had menstrual irregularity since commencement, would go three, four or five months
and then her sufferings were ex cruciating.
When she came under treatment had no menses for two months.
Xan.
1c was give, 5 drops thrice daily.
Menses appeared in three days and were painless.
Miss B., fair, nervous, had menses suppressed by getting feet wet, being then a weekovertime.Xan.lx,5 drops
