Kreosotum (HMT)

📖 Kreosotum (HMT) Introduction

The patients of the constitution of Kreosotum exhibit three prominent symptoms. Firstly, all their excretions and discharges are burning and corrosive in nature, which is very irritative . The second symptom is that there is a feeling of pulsation all over the body as in Cactus but there is no associated pain or convulsions. The third symptom is frequent bleeding . The slightest pressure leads to bleeding. The swollen eye bleeds as soon as it is touched by the physician. If this condition affects the uterus, women suffer from constant bleed. Bleeding continues even after the menstrual period. A light needle prick causes the ou tpouring of blood. Sometimes, the tears are also mixed with blood. Bl eeding frequently due to trivial causes, and the tendency to spontaneous bleeding from any part of the body, are the typical signs of Kreosotum. The gums recede from the teeth. The gums bleed even on cl eaning the teeth by hand. Mostly, the blood is of red colour, but it may sometimes be darkish in colour. The angles of the mouth are peeled . Dry and fissured lips are typical of Kreosotum. The margins of the nose are abrased and injured. This is usually seen in bad catarrh and is a definite feature of Kreosotum. There is a tendency of frequent bleeding from the orifices like nose, eyes, kidneys and uterus. In Kreosotum, like Chamomilla, the patient is of a hot temper and easily enraged. The Chamomilla patient is furious by nature, however in Kreosotum, the condition is short-lived. The patient becomes irritable due to the severity of th e illness therefore the symptoms like that of Chamomilla become apparent. Whether he is sick or healthy Chamomilla patient is always irritable and bad tempered. In Kreosotum, the affected area becomes raw and burns due to bleeding. Once the discharges become dark in colour, they start smelling. Kreosotum is the best remedy for children’s bedwetting. The urgency to pass urine is so severe that the patient may not be able to reach the bathroom. The use of Kreosotum over a period of time will gradually decrease the urgency. The patient will be able to regain control. Pertaining to the st omach, there is a tendency towards acidity, nausea and vomiting . The vomited material causes burning and irritation in the throat. The taste in the mouth becomes bitter after drinking water. The stomachache is relieved on eating something. It is followed by vomiting. Hot food makes the patient feel better, while cold food aggravates the discomfo rt. The stomach feels tense and cold. Kreosotum is also of used in preventing against the tendency to develop cancer. It offers significant relief when given with Conium in the early stage of cancer of the stomach . Once the symptoms of Kreosotum become evident it must be started immediately, otherwise, once the cancer has set in, it is im possible to control it. Appropriate treatment can make the patient so mewhat more comfortable but does not cure him of the cancer. It makes the life of the patient comfortable to the limit destined by God. Some physicians say that the proper treatment may add years to the patient’s life. We know that we cannot prolong anyone’s life. However, he may be permitted to live as much as possible, limited by the final time decreed by Allah, the Almighty. This is the gist of the philosophy of sickness and cure. Sickness shortens the life span of a person, wh ile health prolongs it to the limit destined by God. The patient of Kreosotum al so suffers from summer diarrhoea in severely hot weather. Similarl y, Kreosotum has the capability to completely cure diabetes. Kreosotum is extremely useful in the treatment of teething problems in children, especially when the teeth become dark coloured or tend to decay and rot with the formation of cavities, and if the gums become black. Then Kreosotum proves curative. In Kreosotum, there is a deposit of white crust over the tongue. The lips are red and tend to bleed. The taste is bitter. The symptoms become aggravated in th e open air, cold weather, from drinking cold water or on taking a shower or by lying down, while heat commonly relieves the symptoms, except for the diarrhoea caused by extremely hot weather.
