📖 Ambra Grisea (HMT) Introduction

(Ambergis – A morbid secretion of the whale) Ambra Grisea is a useful homoeopathic remedy for thin, lean, short- tempered, irritable and easily provoke d children as well as adults. Over-sensitivity is its peculiar f eature. Vertigo and loss of balance can manifest in early age, which nor mally happen in old age. So this remedy can also be very useful in common old age ailments. The Ambra Grisea patient is usually very sad, even if there is no specific underlying cause. Ambra Grisea is the correct treatment of the patients who remain sad, like to sit aloof in the dark, become depressed over trivial matters, lose all zeal to live, show total indifference to their surroundings a nd start showing physical signs of ageing prematurely. They feel dizzy. The head and the stomach feel weak. The forehead feels heavy a nd the head hurts with variable intensity. There is drowsiness too. The memory is weak. The hairs on the scalp fall easily. When bleeding from the nose and gums occurs, it is copious. Gas accumulate s in the stomach. Belching is sour, but the feeling it produces in the stomach is that of soothing, rather than burning. In Ambra Grisea, a lack of concentration is natural. The head feels numb and this feeling spreads over the whole body. Ambra Grisea ailments tend to remain localized only on one side like in Bryonia, Belladona and Spigelia. They are present and remain strictly either on right or left side. Typically, the Ambra Grisea patient cannot tolerate music . The music intensifies the headaches, mental anguish as well as the physical symptoms. In other words, instead of comforting the person, the music provokes mental and physical commotion. In Ambra Grisea, symptoms of old age, such as numbness of the hands and feet , palpitation and flabby mu scles creep in rapidly. Ambra Grisea is very useful in minimizing the effects of sudden shock. I have often used Ambra Grisea on women who have been deeply grieved due to sudden emotional shock. In transient emotional shock, however, Ignatia is the best.
