📖 Bufo (HMT) Introduction

Bufo is prepared from the secretions of toad neck glands. Its main function is on the mental faculties and the mind . Its patients suffer from a loss of memory . The mind is cloudy and there is a feeling of severe mental fatigue. Bufo is the best remedy for neurosis. Neurosis, the feeling of numbness, and muscular convulsions are benefited with Bufo. The small mu scles exhibit paralytic condition. Twitching of the eye or some othe r parts of the body is typical of Bufo. In Bufo, sores tend to develop on the skin . Many homoeopathic experts use it in the treatment of se xual diseases but rarely use it for the treatment of skin diseases and vi olent muscle cramps. Bufo is the ideal treatment for a young man who becomes involved in sexual misconduct. It prevents one from self-abuse and its bad consequences. Some young men, w ho have wronged themselves and contracted epilepsy, will significantly benef it from Bufo. Such an epileptic should first be treated with Bufo. In case it fails, other remedies should be sought. In Bufo, also like Sarsaparilla, premature ageing is found. This is also a symptom of Baryta Carb. In Bufo, the premature ageing is not in the physical form of skin tightness and wrinkles but it relates to the mental functions. The patient does not become crazy but simply looks naive. Bufo should also be used for a sixty-year old mature person behaving like a teenager. If such a person is not treated on time, he will become insane. He becomes incapable of communicating with others and making people understand what he means to say. In Bufo, there are contradictions. The patient likes to be alone and away from others, but at the same time feels frightened when alone. This makes him angry, and he shows his anger by way of biting things. He expresses his helplessne ss but does not harm others. He laughs, cries and jumps around like a child. The conduct of a Bufo patient is of innocence and childishn ess. Occasionally, this state may progress to insanity. Bufo works profoundly and continuously in this condition for a very long period. In Bufo, there is tendency towards partial paralysis. As a result of paralysis of various organs, the overlying skin becomes numb. In Bufo, violent muscle cramps are common. Before epileptic seizure, the mouth opens wide due to muscular spasm. Blood pours out of the mouth and the tongue or lips get caught between the teeth, causing severe discomfort. Along with this comes headache, the pupils of the eye get dilated and fixed. The patient cannot tolerate light. Sores and ulcers develop on the skin. The eye becomes congested with blood. Ulcers form on the cornea of eye. Blisters also form on the eye and various parts of the body in the form of clusters. Antimonium Crude and Antimonium Ta rt are also described to be useful in the treatment of such blisters. Other symptoms also being present, Bufo is useful in the treatment of all skin conditions. As in Ambra Grisea, the Bufo patient hate s music. The patient, gradually tends to stutter and stammer, making it difficult to understand him, and this upsets him. Use of Bufo is ideal to treat a patient who suddenly becomes drawn and mute. His eyes are bewildered and completely indifferent to his surroun dings, even if he does not exhibit the complete picture of epilepsy. This condition is only temporary. When the patient regains consciousness, he has no knowledge of what had happened to him. Being also related to sexual im potence, some Bufo patients may develop epileptic fits during sexual intercourse . The Bufo women patients either have their period befo re time or their periods cease all together. There is burning sensation and cramps in the uterus with the formation of blisters inside, emitting foul leucorrheol discharge mixed with pus or blood, resemb ling offensive gangrene-like discharge. Bufo proves to be very effective in the treatment of this condition. Bufo is also very useful in the treatment of breast cancer. It does not cure the cancer but does offer re lief from suffering and works as adjuvant for other remedies. The cough of a Bufo patient is very bothersome. The blood mixes with sputum along with a signi ficant burning sensation. Bufo sicknesses come on rapidly and spread fast, leading the patient towards his end.
