Authoritative Homeopathic Materia Medica profile detailing clinical symptom indications, modalities, and constitutional therapeutic actions.

  • General Relationship: Very closely related to Arsenicum Album. May present multiple kinds of disease manifestations indistinguishable from Arsenicum Album.
  • Sores & Abscesses: Best prevention against sores becoming chronic or turning gangrenous. Very effective against abscess in the lower part of the lungs and large air passages (bronchi).
  • Discharges: Abrasive in nature, making the exiting orifice red and inflamed with burning.
  • Constitutional Traits: Patient feels hot (contrary to Arsenic, in which the patient always feels very cold) and manifests his restlessness by way of quick movements and walking fast.
  • Child Profile: An overactive, uncontrollable child, eating a lot and staying thin, indicates the nature of Iodine, and may also be the condition in Arsenicum Iodatum.
  • Clinical Picture: Shows contrasting clinical pictures of Arsenic and sometimes of Iodine. These two remedies, however, have opposing symptoms, so diagnosis needs to be carefully established.
  • General Action: A very wide-ranging homoeopathic remedy.
  • Thermal & Sweating: The patient feels cold though he sweats at the same time.

  • Aggravation: When symptoms of Arsenicum Iodatum are aggravated, the patient feels nauseous and very thirsty.
  • Vomiting: After drinking water he throws up (as in Phosphorus) soon after.
  • Stomach Pain: Intense pain in the stomach which is relieved by bending over forward (as in Colocynth).
  • Stools: Frequent stools that start early in the morning are associated with severe gripe inflammation.
  • Abdomen: The stomach becomes bloated with gas.
  • Appetite & Nutrition: The appetite is strong but the body does not thrive.

  • Neck & Back: Pain is in the nape of the neck and there is a burning sensation at the back.
  • Extremities: A cold chill and numbness radiates down the left leg. The wrist aches on writing.

  • Nasal & Ear Inflammation: The inner lining of the nose becomes swollen and rather indurated. Inflammation of the ear-tubes (Eustachian tubes) leading into the ear can cause deafness.
  • Cancer: Very useful in Lupus and skin cancer. Also, very effectively stops the growth of ovarian cancer though it may not eradicate it. Dr. Kent is of the opinion that Arsenicum Iodatum is very useful in stopping the growth of any kind of cancer. The author has found it more effective when combined with Suchi Bootie (a herbal medicine).
  • Eczema: Works very well on eczemas in which the skin is dry and scaly but under the thick scales is rather raw, abraded and moist.
  • Psoriasis & Leprosy: Useful against Psoriasis, though the apparent cure is incomplete and short-lived. Also very useful in leprosy.
  • Glandular Pathology: According to traditional western medicine, when diseases of the glands are treated, a violent widespread psoriatic condition may take place, and when the skin condition is suppressed by a drug, yet another kind of ailment may ensue. So far, there is no known remedy for the control of both skin and glandular pathology. However, Sulphur 1000 and Psorinum 1000, given alternatively, benefit to some extent. Hydrocotyle is also quite useful.
  • Specific Affinities: Arsenic is also a psoric remedy, capable of controlling the mucous membranes (the inner linings of the viscera) as well as the skin. Some remedies are good for inflammatory conditions of the intestines and skin, while others are good in diseases of the uterus and skin. Sulphur and Mercury are saliently effective against the diseases of the skin and glands.
  • Syphilis: May be indicated in different stages of syphilis.

  • Aggravation: When symptoms of Arsenicum Iodatum are aggravated, the patient feels nauseous and very thirsty.
  • Vomiting: After drinking water he throws up (as in Phosphorus) soon after.
  • Stomach Pain: Intense pain in the stomach which is relieved by bending over forward (as in Colocynth).
  • Stools: Frequent stools that start early in the morning are associated with severe gripe inflammation.
  • Abdomen: The stomach becomes bloated with gas.
  • Appetite & Nutrition: The appetite is strong but the body does not thrive.
